The Puppeteer of Academy City

Ling Xingye was born in a circus in this world, so out of the habit he developed in the circus, Ling Xingye often goes to the commercial street to perform street performances. While improving his skills, he can also earn a considerable amount of living expenses.

This kind of performance has been going on for three years, and Ling Xingye is also well-known in the commercial street. There were even many onlookers who didn't know the truth, seeing his superb puppet performance, really thought that Ling Xingye's ability was "puppet manipulation".

It was even once passed down as one of the urban legends in Chengdu.

Today's performance was just Ling Xingye's personal itinerary, but Shiranui Hitomi was not dissatisfied at all, and followed him to the street, acting as the audience and the first child who threw money and rewards.

The puppet used for the performance was placed in the huge travel bag that Ling Xingye carried with him. It was a small puppet with a height of 30 to 50 centimeters.

These puppets were made by Ling Xingye by remodeling popular dolls and dolls. With only two hands, he can control two or three puppets to perform at the same time.

Today's performance is "Sherlock" - a very popular comic work recently.

Ling Xingye transformed the dolls of Charlotte and Moriarty into puppets, showing the exciting fighting plot of the latest episode.

Won the applause!

The mass base of this comic is huge, and the animation has not advanced to the plot of the comic, so many loyal fans wait to watch the live animation of Ling Xingye's puppet version every week.

However, due to problems with scenes and expressiveness, Ling Xingye could only excerpt some battle scenes and reproduce them with puppet plays, and ordinary dialogues and reasoning plots were powerless.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Xingye randomly asked an audience member to play his mobile phone ringtone, and then performed an impromptu dance performance with puppets to the beat.

As more and more schools were dismissed, more and more students gathered to watch, and it was almost impossible to get around. Even if Ling Xingye used the flower bed above the ground as a stage, there were still many people who couldn't see what was going on at all, and kept asking the people in front of them.

Many people who missed the previous performances are still begging others for live recordings.

The commercial street was almost blocked. Fortunately, Ling Xingye's performance also brought a lot of popularity, so the nearby shops did not come out to protest.

Ling Xingye's performance lasted for an hour, and it was not ready to end until 6 pm.

In the end, a monkey puppet went down holding an empty cardboard box to collect rewards from the audience.

Hitomi Shiranui, who was mixed in the crowd, dropped the prepared 5,000-yuan bill early.

As if a certain switch was pressed, the surrounding audience dropped coins one after another. Although it is not as generous as Hitomi Shiranui, most of them are only 510 yuan coins, but the amount is still considerable.

Excluding Hitomi Shiranui's 5,000 yuan, Ling Xingye can actually earn 8,000 to 10,000 yuan for each performance, which is more than enough for living expenses.

The puppet monkey followed the crowd to a junior high school girl, and another five thousand yuan slip fell into the paper box.

"Thank you very much for your generosity!" Ling Xingye couldn't help but thank you for the rare large reward.

Looking closely, it was a girl wearing the uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School—as expected of a school for young ladies, what a generous move!

The girl has shoulder-length brown hair, and her brown pupils look strong and lively. She has a pretty face that doesn't need makeup.

"Can you act as a croak?" the girl asked in a low voice, pointing to the green frog pendant on the schoolbag with her hand.

The omnipotent puppeteer's fingers stiffened immediately, and the little monkey paused.

"For animals... ligers, tigers, cats, bears, wolves, eagles and pigeons are also fine, but frogs..."

"Really..." The girl suddenly showed a disappointed expression.

"But you can give it a try..." Because he is the "gold master" with a large reward, Ling Xingye didn't want to disappoint his audience, so he quickly added, "Let me collect information and materials."

The girl's brown pupils lit up immediately.

"I'll be looking forward to it!"

Why does such a beautiful girl like frogs? Ling Xingye couldn't help complaining in his heart. Miss Tokiwadai has really strange hobbies.

After a brief chat, Ling Xingye continued to operate the little monkey and walked forward, constantly exchanging greetings with the audience, and listening to the performances they wanted to see, so that they could go back and prepare.

To ensure a stable income for each performance, this is the intelligence that must be collected.

The Tokiwadai girl who was left behind showed a displeased expression. It seems that his proposal will not be taken seriously by him at all!

"Huh? Isn't this Misaka Mikoto-san? It really is you, I thought I was mistaken just now." Suddenly someone beside me spoke up.

"So it's Shiranui-senpai!" The girl bowed politely after seeing who came.

Tokiwadai Middle School and Changdian Shangji Academy are both top schools in Academy City, and they compete for the first and second places, so there are many exchanges and interactions between the students of the two schools.

Most of the best students actually know each other.

Misaka Mikoto is a well-known Level 5 psychic in Academy City. Although not everyone can recognize her, everyone has definitely heard of the name "Railgun".

Hitomi Shiranui, the "memory builder", is also very famous in Tokiwadai Middle School, because in the field of mind and memory, she is the biggest competitor of Tokiwadai Middle School's other ace level 5 "mind control" - Shokuhou Misaki.

"Don't worry, I will supervise Xingye to prepare for Guata's performance." Hitomi Shiranui said with a smile.

"Does senior know that puppet master..." Misaka Mikoto immediately realized, "He is also wearing the uniform of Shangji Academy! I have always heard that there is a puppet-controlled ability user in Shangji Academy..."

"Although it is indeed a starry night, but there is still some misunderstanding..." Shiranui Hitomi said helplessly.

Perhaps it was because of the demonstration effect of the previous two 5,000-yuan bills, or because the summer vacation had just begun, and the students had a lot of pocket money. Then Ling Xingye received a lot of rewards of one thousand or two thousand yuan.

What a great harvest!

Suddenly, a group of people pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

All members wore fancy shirts, ripped jeans, and metal objects such as earrings, nose rings, and skull necklaces.

The onlookers stepped back one after another to distance themselves from this group of people. The atmosphere at the scene instantly cooled down.

Guys that existed as long as there were schools, groups that existed as long as there were cities—bad students, street hooligans.

They stopped in front of the little monkey collecting money, and the leader, a strong man with yellow hair, looked down, reached out and grabbed the shoebox where the money was kept, and then kicked the little puppet monkey away.

"What the hell! It's blocking my way!"

The accomplices behind laughed arrogantly and presumptuously.

The surrounding students stared wide-eyed, but dared not speak out.

It is true that the guys who have been reduced to being gangsters in this academy city are basically level 0 incompetents, but the vast majority of students are also level 0 or level 1. If there is a conflict, that point of ability is actually fundamental. It doesn't work much.

The yellow-haired man rummaged through the shoebox, grabbed all the banknotes worth more than five hundred yuan, and then threw away the remaining coins along with the box.

Hundreds of coins rolled all over the ground, making a crisp sound.

A fifty-yen coin rolled to Misaka Mikoto's feet and stopped when it hit her shoe.

The girl bent down to pick up the coin, UU reading www. uukanshu.com There is a faint flash of lightning between the bangs on his forehead.

"Calm down, calm down, Misaka-san!" Hitomi Shiranui quickly persuaded the girl who was about to lose her temper.

"However, you dare to **** money in front of me!" Misaka Mikoto held the coin tightly.

"Leave this to Xingye, he won't like us intervening in this matter."

Misaka Mikoto said excitedly: "The so-called treatment is to swallow your anger!"

She pointed to Ling Xingye and asked, only to see that the puppet master let the gangsters walk away swaggeringly as if nothing had happened.

Instead, he concentrated on controlling the little monkey to pick up the coins on the ground one by one.

"I'm sorry for letting everyone see such an unpleasant scene. As compensation, let's add a dance."

As if he didn't know what anger was, the young puppeteer said cheerfully. He manipulated the little monkey to make flexible and exaggerated movements, like an impromptu funny dance. While dancing, he dexterously picked up coins scattered on the ground.

The antics and superb skills quickly re-mobilized the atmosphere of the audience, and today's performance ended smoothly.

Only one girl was always aggrieved.

"This guy is really bad! He has no spine at all! Is he a boy? Is he a clown?" Misaka Mikoto kept complaining.

Shiranui Hitomi looked normal, and instead explained for his companion: "Xingye is not like that, because you don't know him yet."

Misaka Mikoto couldn't listen: "If I encounter such a thing, I will definitely not let them have a good time!"

Shiranui Hitomi laughed helplessly: "Who will provoke you...the electromagnetic gun."

"Really?" Misaka Mikoto raised the hair beside her ears, "There are quite a lot of such guys recently."
