The Puppeteer of Academy City

Psychological and memory system superpowers are not uncommon in Academy City, but those that can truly modify human memory without people noticing it are rare.

After searching through the library, only Shokuhou Misaki and Shiranui Hitomi, two capable users at the peak of their mental and memory systems, have this ability.

"Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that someone with other abilities will suddenly advance." Chuchun Shili added.

After all, the "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0" system they are investigating is a software that can improve the ability level!

Gufa Meiwei said: "Hitomi Shiranui is unlikely. Her ability seems to be unable to modify the memories of multiple targets at the same time. Besides, wasn't she kidnapped two days ago and fell into a coma?"

"That's right, Misaka-san also participated in the rescue operation yesterday." Hatsuharu said, "Besides, I didn't mean to doubt Shiranui-senpai."

"Speaking of which, we can ask Ling Xingye to help with the investigation this time," Gu Fa Meiwei clapped his hands suddenly, "Most of the attackers are bad guys, and they happen to be in his sphere of influence!"

Chuchun Shili didn't answer the call, she suddenly thought of another thing - during yesterday's operation, Senior Yuan Shanyao suddenly called to help them guide the way.

When thanking her afterwards, Shirai Kuroko casually asked, "How did you know we needed help?"

In the end, the answer he got was that he was asked by Shokuhou Misaki.

From this point of view, the queen bee who lives in Tokiwadai Middle School probably knows what happened.

Should I ask her?

"It's been an eventful season lately..." Gufa Meiwei stood up, stretched his arms vigorously, and said while rubbing his shoulders, "I have encountered so many incidents at the beginning of school, and I always feel that there is a black hand behind everything. .”

She was immersed in case analysis all day long, so she couldn't help but put forward a hypothesis of conspiracy theory-of course, it was just a casual complaint.

As a professional, Gufa Meiwei is not so credulous as to believe in such urban legends.

Although... urban legends are often surprisingly accurate.

A pitch-black crow flew across the night sky and rushed into the president's room of the "Gold Coast" swimming pool.

Jeeves has been waiting here for a long time.

"Good job." The crow saw a cardboard box on the ground at a glance.

"This is what I airlifted in under the name of modern mechanical arts and crafts." Jeeves explained, "This... is really your body?"

Although a bit presumptuous, it still asked. Because when passing through the customs security check, the box has already been opened and checked. Jeeves knew exactly what was in there.

In short, it is also a model of a purely mechanical crow, but its size is much larger. At first glance, it may be mistaken for a giant eagle.

But after all, this is just an enlarged version of the mechanical crow model, and there is nothing special about it, so it was easily released.

The crow also mentioned that this is its Yanshi body, which is usually hidden in other places. This time it seems that it is going to do a big job, so it is willing to expose it.

But—Jeves also roughly inspected the puppet—it was just a purely mechanical structure, there was no suspected liquid, and there was no trace of magic.

The crow glanced at it, but made no reply.

Jeeves wasn't expecting an answer either, so he just stood back quietly and waited for orders.

Not long after, there was a sudden sound of flapping wings, and Jeeves showed a surprised expression.

It's already seen through the camera facing outside—a large flock of crows coming together in a black cloud, heading this way.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Like jet-black arrows, the crows rushed into the president's office through the window.

The tabletops, cabinets, window sills, and even chandeliers are full of crows.

Jeeves was surprised—looking at this posture, the crow has gathered all the clones.

At this time, all the crows in the room turned their heads together and cast their eyes on Jeeves.

"Uh... I'm leaving first." Jeeves exited the room tactfully.

After it left, all the crows suddenly spread their wings together and uttered piercing crows.

The pitch-black feathers fell off their bodies and flew out, setting off a whirlwind in the room.

The cardboard box was torn apart by the whirlwind of feathers, and the huge crow inside stood up and spread its wings to fly.

The black feathers gathered suddenly and gradually attached to its body.

At the same time, all the crow clones suddenly disintegrated in the air, and various parts flew around.

However, within each crow, a silver-white crystal the size of a bottle cap stood out, flying along with the whirlwind airflow, and gathering toward the center.

The black feathers all over the sky suddenly ignited out of thin air and turned into fire feathers. Under the blazing high temperature, the silver-white crystals melted like mercury.

The huge crow in the center raised its head and opened its mouth wide, swallowing all the liquid into its stomach.

Boom!

The huge crow turned into a fire crow. Without flapping its wings, it broke free from the shackles of gravity and floated in the middle of the room.

At this time, the president's office has been completely turned into a furnace, and the original furniture and furnishings have been reduced to ashes.

Fortunately, there are still some feathers attached to the walls, ceiling and floor of the room, forming a barrier invisible to the naked eye, restraining the raging flames.

Even Jeeves, who was only a door away from the outside, failed to notice any abnormalities in the room.

Jeeves waited patiently outside the door for an hour and twenty-five minutes before finally hearing voices coming from inside the house.

"come in."

Jeeves pushed the door open, and the luxurious president's room, which was originally fully furnished with high-end decoration, was completely changed. All the furniture and electrical appliances disappeared, even the hundreds of crow puppets just now disappeared, leaving only a two-finger-wide room on the ground. ash.

Although the room temperature has returned to normal, Jeeves, who is a robot, seems to be able to feel the burning pain from the simulated skin.

In the empty room, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com only had a tall figure in a jet-black feather cloak and a long-billed bird-beak mask like a medieval plague doctor on his face, stepping on the ashes as if weightless, but Leave no trace.

Just standing there, the strong sense of presence filled the entire room, dyeing everything around him black.

Jeeves didn't pay attention to the weird scene in front of him at all, just bowed and saluted to the other party intently.

"Tell me the locations of all Misaka clones that are currently active outside." Crow ordered in a hoarse voice.

Its eyeliner has been withdrawn, so it can only rely on Jeeves' intelligence network for now.

"Understood, please wait a moment." Jeeves was prepared, and then exited and took a tablet computer from the next room, "There are only two Misaka replicas that are moving freely outside. According to the information updated ten minutes ago, the distance between The closest one is here…”

It opened the map, pointing to a point in District Seven.
