The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Lily, I have something to do next, I can't stay with you anymore, you go back by yourself first." Shiranui Hitomi said.

"What's wrong?" Lily looked at the woman opposite, "Is there anything wrong with this woman?"

"No, it's nothing." Hitomi Shiranui didn't look at her, "It's just that we need to have a good chat."

"Yes, we need to talk," the woman also walked up to them, with a standard but emotionless smile on her face, "Right, Hitomi Shiranui?"

Lily was still full of worries, but since the person involved didn't know Huotong insisted that she was fine, then she had no reason to meddle in her own business.

Maybe it's just their personal grievances.

Lily quickly put it behind her and walked to the dormitory alone.

Shiranui Hitomi, on the other hand, maintained a high alert posture, and came to the coffee shop with Hua Eryi.

One is an adult woman who has already entered the workplace, and the other is a high school student in uniform. Such a combination is not common in cafes near this school.

But considering that high school student is Hitomi Shiranui, it's not incomprehensible.

Because Hitomi Shiranui often contacts and cooperates with people from universities or major research institutes.

"It seems that you have already recognized me." After the two of them sat down, Hua Shishi said straight to the point, "It also happens to save time for self-introduction."

"Hua...you are Baiyin's puppet master, Hua Twenty-One." Hitomi Shiranui said her name.

"Yes," the other party nodded, "Since that's the case, you should also know why I came here."

"No, I don't understand." Hitomi Shiranui shook her head, "Are you trying to use me to threaten Xingye?"

Hua Twenty-one chuckled lightly and said, "You can rest assured that you don't need to use these boring methods to deal with him."

"What's more," Hua Twenty-One continued, "the iron law of silver prohibits harming human beings. Although it is doubtful whether your superpowers can be counted as 'human beings'...but at least the current consensus is that at least level 4 and Those with the following abilities are still ordinary humans. So you don't need to worry about your own safety."

Hitomi Shiranui clenched her fists: "Then, why are you looking for me?"

"I want to talk to you about Ling Xingye." Hua Eryi said, "As far as I know, you are the person who knows him best."

"That's right." Hitomi Shiranui nodded and admitted, "But why did you do this? Aren't you here to punish him?"

"If you listen to it, you will know," Hua Twenty-One replied, "There are some troublesome backers behind Ling Xingye, even if it's just to save face. I must investigate as thoroughly as possible before I can decide how to punish him .”

"In the end, do you still have to punish him?" Hitomi Shiranui frowned: "Xingye is not wrong! If you are really investigating impartially, you shouldn't take any punishment against him!"

"I'm sorry, it's not up to you," Hua Twenty-One said, "I'm the one who makes the final decision."

"Don't rush to refute me, little girl." Hua Eryi stopped Tong's words and continued, "It can be seen that you have a very close relationship with Ling Xingye, it seems that he has already told you everything. .”

"Now that you know this fact..." Hua Ershi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed, "Why do you still defend Ling Xingye's innocence for committing the crime of killing nineteen people in a row? It seems Your testimony is not credible at all—after all, your relationship is too close."

Fall into the trap! Hitomi Shiranui suddenly realized that Hua Eryi was indeed under pressure from certain parties, so that he could not directly attack Ling Xingye, but had to conduct a "comprehensive and fair" investigation first.

However, relying on her own privilege and power, she locked the scope of evidence collection on Shiranui Hitomi alone, and then induced Shiranui Hitomi to impulsively say words that were obviously protective...

Finally, the rationality of Hitomi Shiranui's testimony was deprived.

"Then, this is the end of the evidence collection." Hua Twenty-one said, and got up to leave.

Shiranui Hitomi pulled her back: "Wait a minute."

The girl looked at her with pleading eyes: "You really misunderstood Xingye, please give me another chance, and I will explain it to you properly!"

Hua Twenty-one turned her head and said indifferently, "Don't waste time..."

Before the words fell, there seemed to be a flash of light in the girl's eyes.

Hua Twenty-one fell back to his original position.

"The language is so weak that you can't complain, no matter how you say it, you won't believe it." Hitomi Shiranui looked at her, and her voice sounded directly in the other person's mind, "So let you see the scene with your own eyes!"

The memory fragments taken from Ling Xingye were projected into Hua Eryi's mind by her.

Hua Twenty-one himself seemed to be a bystander at the time, watching these tragedies from the perspective of God.

Hitomi Shiranui also appeared beside her: "Seeing this, do you really think that the one killed by Xingye...is a real human being?"

"I can't tell, you are really a cruel girl," Hua Eryi responded indifferently, "You actually let me watch the picture of people who are exactly like me being repeatedly killed..."

"No, that's not what I mean!" Hitomi Shiranui said hastily, "What I want you to see are the expressions of these 'flowers'!"

She waved her hand to pause the scene in front of her, and then zoomed in on the expressionless face of the woman who was fighting Ling Xingye.

"Look, this expression is completely different from yours!"

"So what do you want to prove?" Hua Eryi also looked at her expressionlessly, "Because there is no expression, so you are not human in your eyes?"

"That's not what I meant, but something deeper..." Shiranui Hitomi urgently thought about the appropriate vocabulary, "It's...soul! They don't have souls at all!"

In the end, Hitomi Shiranui could only use the vague description of soul.

"Oh, soul..." Hua Eryi sneered.

Then suddenly turned around and rushed towards Hitomi Shiranui.

Because this place is now in the "Memory Palace", Hitomi Shiranui is not worried that the other party will attack her, so she did not expect Hua Twenty-one's actions at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ For a moment, Hua Twenty-one's "body" It seems to have merged into Shiranui Hitomi's body...

A dim and scarlet memory flooded Hitomi Shiranui's consciousness.

"They... no, you have to judge whether we are human or not—" Hua Eryi's voice sounded from all directions, "After reading my memory!"

…The dilapidated streets, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and sulfur, accompanied by the scorching air of the flames filled the surroundings.

The body was numb and stiff, and there were bouts of dull pain, which seemed to be slowly transmitted to the mind through a thick layer of sponge.

Hitomi Shiranui couldn't help moaning in pain, and knelt down powerlessly on the ground.

On a broken metal plate at her feet, she saw herself now.

His facial features seemed to have changed, and there was a beauty mole in the corner of his eye.

"I...became a 'flower'?"
