In the days that followed, nothing changed.
Riko continued to track down the guy named "Butei Killer". According to Riko, she wanted to catch Butei Killer herself and then "give" him to Aria, so that the people of the Holmes family could enjoy the "charity" from the Lupin family. By that time, Aria would be twisted like a doughnut, and she would be so happy!
Fang Zheng naturally would not get involved in such personal grudges.
He still attends classes every day in Academy City, does research, and of course, goes out for a walk occasionally.
Just like now...
"Huh... I've had so much free time lately."
Fang Zheng stretched and yawned as he walked on the street. Everyone was busy with their own things, and Fang Zheng was not in a hurry to find the mysterious metal 312 for the time being. After all, he already had a target, but it might be difficult to approach it this time.
After all, strictly speaking, Riko and Aria are in the enemy camp, and Fang Zheng is on Riko's side... Well... Of course, this is not a big problem.
However, in Fang Zheng's opinion, the best way is to steal it directly. After all, the coordinate data this time is in the metal material, which is not as troublesome as the previous one. Just steal it and use a personal terminal to scan and analyze it. At worst, you can return it.
“… la la la…”
However, just as Fang Zheng was thinking and walking, suddenly, a burst of singing came into his ears. Hearing the singing, Fang Zheng turned his head curiously and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Then he saw a girl with pink hair and a hat playing and singing at the other end of the overpass, looking like a bard performing for money. There were also some people around the girl, who were obviously attracted by her singing.
You sing well.
Hearing the song, Fang Zheng walked over curiously. After all, he had been an agent in the love world for a period of time and had some ability to judge songs. In Fang Zheng's opinion, although this girl had not received formal training, her singing voice was quite good. If she was packaged and released, she would definitely become a popular pop idol.
However, singing for money in Academy City is really rare.
"Hey, hey, hey, get out of the way!"
However, just as the girl finished her song, a wild shout suddenly sounded, and then a few guys dressed like delinquents came swaggering over. Seeing them appear, the passers-by who were originally listening to the song quickly left. Soon, the delinquents immediately surrounded the girl.
"Who gave you permission to sing here? Huh?"
"Don't you know this is our territory?"
Faced with the threats from the bad guys, the girl was obviously a little scared, but she still mustered up the courage to answer.
"This is everyone's place, not your territory."
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, a guy with dyed yellow hair and earrings reached out and grabbed the girl's hand.
"Come with me, I want to teach you a lesson..."
However, before Bu Liang could finish his words, he saw Fang Zheng walk over and pat him gently on the shoulder.
“Who is it?”
The bad guy turned around and roared at Fang Zheng, but before he could finish his words, Fang Zheng's fist hit him in the face. With a howl, the unfortunate bad guy flew backwards with a scream and fell heavily to the ground.
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Fang Zheng had actually knocked their companion away, the other bad guys immediately let the girl go and surrounded him.
"I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Being a delinquent in Academy City, I wonder if you guys are missing a thing."
Fang Zheng helplessly stretched out his hand to press his forehead and sighed. This is Academy City. To be honest, Fang Zheng often felt that these bad guys were really idiots. Especially those who dared to harass Misaka Mikoto. Indeed, you said that A Certain Scientific Railgun is not an idol. Even if people know her name, they don't know her appearance. It's normal, but Misaka Mikoto is wearing the school uniform of Tokiwadai!
Tokiwadai is a private school for girls of the nobility that only allows those with special abilities above Lv3 to enroll. It is understandable if these idiots bully those with special abilities at Lv1 and Lv2, but do they dare to touch those with special abilities above Lv3?
This is probably mentally retarded.
Although according to Fang Zheng's research, the ability itself is related to the genetic structure, but if it is this group of guys, even if they become ability users, I am afraid they will not be able to improve their level...
After all, brains are a good thing, but unfortunately they don't have it.
“You bastard!!”
At this moment, several other bad guys also showed their weapons such as daggers and iron rods, and rushed forward with roars. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
"Why……"
Crackling, crackling.
Hehehe, I use nunchakus, hehehe, I take a horse stance forward, I throw a left hook, a right hook, and say that anyone who irritates me is in danger, and I repeat it over and over again, a cigarette that I don't smoke, I put a lot of it...
"What a waste."
Looking at the bad guys lying on the ground in a mess, wailing, Fang Zheng clapped his hands and curled his lips. What a bunch of rubbish, I just got into the mood and you guys lie down.
It feels really bad to stop singing halfway.
Fang Zheng shook his head, then turned around and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the pink-haired girl suddenly walked towards him.
"Ah, sir, wait a minute...Wow!"
However, before the girl could finish her words, her right foot accidentally tripped over the cable below. The girl screamed and fell forward, and Fang Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand. Then he saw the girl throw herself into Fang Zheng's arms, clinging tightly to him.
Well, you have a nice figure.
Feeling the touch on his body, Fang Zheng also raised his eyebrows. At this moment, the girl also came back to her senses, and hurriedly left Fang Zheng's arms with a red face, while respectfully bowing to him.
"Thank you, thank you for your help, sir."
"You're welcome. You sing beautifully."
Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"Have you ever thought about becoming an idol? I think with your talent, you can definitely become a big star if you are trained."
It’s a pity that there is no 765 in this world, otherwise Fang Zheng would have dragged her onto the pirate ship.
"I'm trying my best, but in Academy City... it's still difficult."
“That’s right.”
Hearing the girl's words, Fang Zheng nodded. The core of Academy City is ability development. Entertainment can be directly delivered from the outside world. There is no need to produce it by ourselves. Anyway, Academy City does not rely on singing and dancing to make a living.
"My name is Naruto Alisa."
The girl stretched out her hand generously, and Fang Zheng held her hand.
"My name is Fang Zheng, and I'm the director of the Quantum Neuroscience Institute."
"Director?"
Minghu Alisa was obviously quite surprised when she heard Fang Zheng's self-introduction. She looked Fang Zheng up and down curiously and shook her head.
"I never realized that you, Mr. Fang Zheng, are the director..."
"Is it because I'm too handsome?"
“Huff…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Minghu Alisa couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I'm the Discipline Committee member, immediately...why is it you again?"
Fang Zheng turned his head and saw Shirai Kuroko, who was wearing the discipline committee armband, looking at him with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I was just wondering, why do you always come so late?"
"What can I do? You're just too fast!"
After taking a look at the delinquents lying all over the ground, Shirai Kuroko sighed helplessly.
"Although I already know what happened, please come back to the branch with me and write a statement... Can't you be a little gentler?"
"It's because they are too impatient. It's not my fault."
“…”
Faced with Fang Zheng's words, Shirai Kuroko didn't want to say anything.
After returning to the 117th Discipline Committee of the Seventh School District, Fang Zheng took notes with ease. Ming Hu Elisa naturally followed him. Since she was a victim, she also had to be questioned.
"Although I admit that helping a girl who has been harassed by a bad person is a good thing, please be careful about your behavior, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"Compared to Misaka Mikoto, I've been very careful about my behavior."
Fang Zheng remembered that whenever Misaka Mikoto encountered bad guys, she would just electrocute them and paralyze them. In comparison, he only caused some minor skin injuries to the other party, which just looked serious, but was actually not more dangerous than electric shock.
"Well……"
Hearing this, Heizi was speechless. So she quickly put away the notes and shook her head.
"Okay, that's it. We'll report the rest to the security guards."
"Please, you are such a good boy."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and touched Shirai Kuroko's head, and Shirai Kuroko's face immediately turned red and he shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Why do you touch a lady's head so casually? This is very impolite!"
"Okay, okay."
Facing Shirai Kuroko's protest, Fang Zheng just laughed and let go. However, just as he and Minghu Elisa stood up and prepared to leave, someone suddenly opened the door of the Discipline Committee and walked in.
"Who are you?"
Looking at this uninvited guest, Heizi frowned unhappily, while the other party stretched out his hand and showed his ID like a policeman.
"I am Kanzaki H. Aria from the Butterfly Investigation Bureau. I am investigating a case and hope you can cooperate and assist in the investigation."
Aria?
Looking at the girl with pink twin ponytails in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised and quite stunned.
How did she find her way here?
