Chapter 924: The Cheating Gossip Tengu

The three-headed mercury lanterns are a group of strange little guys with many incredible abilities and behavior patterns. They often appear in groups near the Imperial Military Academy, and sometimes there will be a single one of these little guys.

Running around outside, they have many different costumes, ranging from housemaids to jungle special forces-type equipment. However, no matter what kind of three-headed mercury lamp they are, one thing is the same, that is, they always look the same.

They looked busy. Everyone in the Shadow City knew about this group of strange little people, but not many people really understood them. Most people only knew that the three-headed Mercury Lantern was inextricably linked to the Imperial Ministry.

They are connected to each other, and they are dolls based on the little princess of the empire - so the civilians in Shadow City basically think that these little things may be mechanical servants or playmates used by royal members. In a way, this is not true.

That’s right too.

The three-headed dolls who are active in the college area usually have a variety of jobs, such as taking care of the flower beds and lawns in the school, pruning the branches of the trees, cleaning the roads, repairing facilities, cleaning windows, and you can even see them using big

He quickly ran out of the campus supermarket with a shopping basket like a small bag on his head and got into Misaka's dormitory. It is said that some people saw that the college would be patrolled by fully armed three-headed mercury lamps at night. These half-meter-long

The tall little doll holds a fruit knife-like mini lightsaber and a psionic beam rifle, and is covered with micro-space explosive bombs. It patrols the school and specializes in cracking down on those who stick small stickers on the outer walls of the school in the dark.

The old Chinese medicine practitioners and forgery practitioners in advertisements. Before the emergence of the mercury lamp with three heads, the night patrol work in the college area was usually the responsibility of the school teachers (usually imperial commanders or heroic spirits) and student union cadres. Based on the above points

, some people in Shadow City speculate that these three-headed cute dolls may be a new generation of multi-functional robots newly manufactured by the empire. Their job task is to maintain the normal operation of the city within a certain range and gradually replace those blunt-looking octopus autonomous robots.

Machinery, one day in the future Shadow City will be filled with these three-headed dolls, filling all public service positions in the entire city...

In addition, there are many conjectures about these little dolls, and there are even urban ghost stories. For example, one urban ghost story mentioned that all three-headed dolls have a common leader, which is a giant man with a height of 100 meters.

Robot, the purpose of this giant robot is to rule the city, and the three-headed legion that has invaded various positions in the college area and replaced the original faculty and staff is the vanguard sent by this giant robot. Of course, some people suspect that they are special models.

Imperial soldiers, but that speculation is even more nonsense, basically no one believes it - sending such little guys to the battlefield to kill the enemy cutely?

The above are the impressions left by the three-headed mercury lanterns in the eyes of the civilians in Shadow City.

But no matter what the guess is, there is at least one thing that everyone in Shadow City agrees on: the three-headed mercury lanterns are extremely cunning when sneaking around everywhere, and their strange behavior and wide variety of rare props are very troublesome...

Especially the latter.

The three-headed mercury lamp that jumped out in front saw me and Sandora. Instead of happily coming over to make out with me like the other little dolls, it instead let out a scream, turned around and was about to run away before I could react.

, she took out a small floating board-like thing from her pocket. That thing was one of the many rare props of the Three-Headed Body Corps. It was called the Light Speed ​​Skateboard. It was developed by the Misakas themselves and given to them by the Three-Headed Body.

The mercury lanterns are equipped with extremely high burst speeds and short-distance jump capabilities, and when people step on them, they will be separated by the space anchor point, so they are not affected by acceleration and inertia, allowing small and light three-headed people to also

I didn’t want to fall off the high-speed maneuvering skateboard. When I saw that the other party had even taken out this kind of thing, of course I knew she was going to run away, so I immediately rushed forward, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, and caught her before the other party started the skateboard.

belt.

All mercury lamps, whether original or mass-produced, can be easily lifted up by grabbing the belt, and then their little arms and legs are no longer useful. This is the experience I have accumulated over a long period of time - of course

, that belt buckle is taller than me, not counting the Titan mercury lamp that is hundreds of meters high.

"Let go! Let go! It's disgusting!" The 60cm-tall doll Mercury Dance danced and kicked in the air. Unfortunately, she was not as long as my arms from head to toe. She couldn't resist at all, and since it was her brother who was grabbing her, it was obvious that this

It was impossible for the little guy to continue using those dangerous props, so all she could do was make cute protests.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickly reached out and snatched the large roll of printing paper from the three-headed doll, and then placed the latter on the ground.

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" The three-headed doll, which was only as high as a person's knees, was jumping desperately while trying to climb up my body with its poor little arms and legs, but I could hold it steady with just one hand.

Suppress this little one: that funny big head is too easy to attack, "Give it back to me quickly! Onii-sama won't like this! The ordinary wild girl Mercury Lamp yelled guiltily."

Ordinary... wild girl mercury lamp?!

By the way, how many models do these weird dolls have? Are they, like the leaders of relevant departments, experts and scholars, all three paragraphs starting from the second line of their business cards are titles?

No matter how hard such a small and smaller three-headed doll protests - of course, to be precise, no matter how much the Misaka sister who is controlling her behind her protests - I have already focused on snatching it from the other party's hands.

On the scroll of paper, a line of large-sized headlines suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: "Wenwen Daily - Temporary Supplement"

Immediately, I felt a chill all over my body just like Sandora just now. Okay, it seems that I know what this bad premonition is about, but what is the reason for the devilish efficiency of that tengu?

I opened the newspaper with a mourning mood, and sure enough, the headline on the first page was a color photo that took up the entire page. It was a photo of Sandora and I, surrounded by a frame of roses.

The title of the photo is: "The two heads of state kissed passionately in the street without anyone watching." There is a line of annotation under the photo that reads: The two imperial matrons were nowhere to be seen, and our reporter was ordered in advance to strictly prohibit following the incident.

Then the following is exactly what Wenwen promised, there is no main text...

"It was a huge mistake not to turn that tengu into spicy chicken wings just now."

After crumpling this deceitful newspaper into a ball, I felt that my expression should be similar to that of Hitler in 1945. Sandora next to me had just seen the color plate picture in the newspaper, and her expression was very subtle.

"Ah, the newspaper is gone. The ordinary wild girl Mercury Lamp squatted on the ground in frustration, trying to be cute to attract the attention of her brother." The Q-version Mercury Lamp doll that had been stuck to his leg squatted on the ground and mumbled,

The big head hung down helplessly.

I picked up this little guy and raised it in the air: "Tell me, what are you going to do with this thing?"

"Put it on the newspaper! The ordinary wild girl Mercury Lamp said confidently."

The mini-doll has its hands on its hips and a very serious expression.

If being cute can be used as food, I think these little ones can help at least half of the population in Africa to have enough food and clothing.

Although I felt a bit dumbfounded, these little ones couldn't be hit or scolded, so I could only give them a few blows on the head, not lightly or hard, and let her go back to tell others not to join in the fun, and then let this guy go.

, the mini-doll was obviously afraid of being punished. As soon as it landed, it let out a cheer and jumped up and down towards the iron fence of the school. It seemed that it was planning to take a shortcut home. Then Sandora and I watched helplessly.

This idiot got stuck in the gap in the fence: his head is too big.

"How come they still have this problem after such a long time?" Sandora put her hands on her forehead and wondered whether she should laugh or cry. "Is this a problem with the Misakas or is Mercury Lamp just a fool at heart?"

I think it should be the latter. Even though the mercury lamp usually looks great, that guy is usually very careless. When he is flying around the house, he will knock himself into pieces every now and then. So with her,

It should be normal for the three-headed mercury lamps that are related to each other to have the same frizzy side.

However, the unlucky Q doll did not get stuck for too long. Soon, several identical three-headed mercury lamps ran out of the school and stabbed the unlucky guy off with bamboo poles.

Use a bamboo pole to poke it down!

"They seem to be very skilled." Sandora said leisurely.

I nodded heavily: "I remembered that Misaka had experienced this situation before. There is indeed a group of mass-produced mercury lamps that are specifically responsible for rescuing other mass-produced mercury lamps, because those little guys have a tendency to go into narrow places.

Even the Misakas, who are the controllers, are unable to suppress this tendency. At the Great Nebula, the three-headed bodies were often stuck in the ventilation ducts of the battleships, so in the end they simply established

We formed a group of emergency rescue teams specifically responsible for pulling out the trapped sisters..."

The little trouble caused by the three-headed doll is over. What matters now is to quickly catch the ghostly Tengu girl. Neither Sandora nor I expected that Wenwen had such terrifying work efficiency and lower limit.

, it took her half a morning to add the photo of Sandora and I to today’s supplement, and it also included such a speechless title and annotation: At first I thought it was just a title and annotation.

Even the gossip Tengu can't cause any trouble. Now it turns out that I completely overestimated that guy's moral index. The first thing you have to do when you see Tengu in the future is to grab her camera and smash it to pieces.

Keep a safe distance of 500 meters and call the police. During this period, absolutely do not talk to Ya. Otherwise, every character you say, including punctuation marks, will sooner or later become the trigger for a fight between Chu and Han for hegemony between you and your wife.

Shemei Maruwen is running around the world every day, and she is extremely fast and has no fixed foothold, so it is a bit troublesome to find her. In addition, Sandora and I don't want to use the Intelligence Department and Imperial soldiers for this matter: after all

In Sandora's eyes, no matter how annoying this matter is, it is just a little girl making mischief. Using soldiers to solve the problem is a bit too much. Fortunately, even if the imperial soldiers are not used, there is still a way to find Guan Xiwen.

It can even be said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived: Reimu wandered over from across the street.

A black-haired girl with a lazy expression was wandering on the street, wearing her signature armpit-baring miko uniform. Of course she also had the Shadow City urban management armband on her arm, and her big bow was swaying feebly, as if

Just like her master, she was ready to fall asleep at any time, and today Reimu was a little different from usual: the miko uniform she wore turned blue and white.

"Hey, Reimu!" ​​I greeted the other party happily, "1p died again?"

I know about Reimu who wears blue and white clothes. As long as 1p dies and 2p comes on stage, the color of the clothes will change...

"1p Your sister," Reimu yawned and rolled his eyes at me, "I really couldn't find a change of clothes, so I had to wear this one first. Really, Ibuki's horns had just grown, and she said she wanted to do it.

Nursing, Cirno was tricked by you into using her as a refrigerator, Marisa is completely unreliable, you can’t even find a person to do laundry..."

I was immediately stunned: This unscrupulous miko is a bit out of line when she is lazy, isn’t she? Doesn’t she even wash her clothes?

"Of course it's not that I don't do laundry," Reimu said, waving his hands, "It's just that I've been really busy recently - the exchange of residents between Gensokyo and Avalon has started. There are new people coming from Gensokyo, and there are some monsters.

I have to go home and have a look. It’s a hassle to register names every day...ah, it’s such a headache. It’s better if they don’t get lost. They’re not children.”

Simplifying the job of the number one person in charge of Gensokyo to just registering a few names and still being so lazy and unwilling to move, does this guy really know what professional ethics is?

"What is professional ethics? Can it be used as food or money?" Lingmeng shook his head and said, "By the way, is something wrong? If nothing happens, I have to continue patrolling. After walking this block quickly, I should go back to make up for it.

It’s time for a nap.”

"Go and catch that tengu." I thought of the unfortunate newspaper and couldn't help but gnash my teeth with anger.

"Ah? You're not talking about the Shemingwanwen, are you?" Reimu's sleepy eyes brightened slightly, "Why did she offend you?"

This guy is so lazy that he doesn't even read the newspaper. It's so good.

"Oh, in short, that guy is finally bold enough to attack the Boss?" After listening to Shandora and I's explanation, Lingmeng immediately nodded clearly and held out two fingers to us with a smile.

, "Guys like that really need to be taught a lesson, but... this is not within the scope of the urban management's responsibilities, right? There will be an extra charge!"

In fact, I was very curious about the purpose of Reimu Hakurei, who as a member of the establishment could spend unlimited money in the military zone, asking for money, but greed for money seemed to have become this guy's genetic component, so I didn't hesitate to talk to her on the spot.

She promised that as long as she could catch the guy before Wenwen distributed more newspapers and ordered him to correct his previous reports, her monthly salary and bonus would be increased tenfold.

I believe this is not difficult. Reimu’s name as the God of Urban Management is not for nothing. Even a cruel thing like Sicaro can make her block the entrance of the alley several times in a row. I don’t believe that a tengu can resist this.

Damn it, and because Wenwen's printing factory is in the academy area, her first batch of newspapers is always sent to school for Misakas to read for free, so the newspaper in the hands of the three-headed doll just now may be the first batch.

Coupled with the habit that Guan Xiwen has developed since Gensokyo, she always uses her super speed to personally distribute newspapers, so as long as Reimu acts in time, it will be easy to recover the Tengu and the newspapers.

Then the yellow light broke through the sky and went away...
