The Puppeteer of Academy City

The battle at the Homeiza Theater ended with the victory of Amakusa Shiki and Kamijo Touma.

Of course, at the price of winning more with less, almost everyone, including Stiier, was injured—except for Index.

Among them, Kamijou Touma was particularly serious.

Kanzaki Kaori couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately rushed down to treat everyone.

Seeing the appearance of the female pope, everyone in the Amakusa style was surprised and happy, and surrounded them together, regardless of their injuries.

Amidst the laughter, Amakusa Shiki and others surrounded and left.

Only the troops of Sister Agnes, who were defeated and surrendered, remained in place.

"Well, tonight's sideshow is over, let's go back." On the roof, Tsuchimikado Motoharu said.

Ling Xingye pointed to the nun troops below: "Is it okay to just leave them alone?"

"Don't worry," Tsuchimikado Motoharu said, "They are all professional combat troops, and this injury can be treated by yourself."

Indeed, as he said, Sister Agnes' troops were only deprived of fighting spirit, and only a few people were actually injured.

Moreover, there are so many of them, it is not a problem to take care of a few wounded.

but…

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Ling Xingye said, "According to the current situation, they are enemies, right?"

"You can't say that," Tsuchimikado Motoharu shook his finger, "Orthodoxy and our Puritanism are Christians, strictly speaking, they are allies rather than enemies."

"Even if it is actually hostile?"

"Who said it was hostile?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu said slickly, "The one who defeated Sister Agnes's army this time was Kamijou Touma, an incapable person from the Amakusa Christianity and Academy City. Oh, that idiot Stiyl Just messing in, don't pay attention to him."

At least on the bright side, completely get rid of the suspicion of confrontation?

Ling Xingye took a last look at the scene in the theater, and left with Hitomi Shiranui and Motoharu Kamitsumi.

"Fortunately, there was no death this time, otherwise it would be troublesome." Motoharu Tsuchimikado said suddenly after walking away from the theater, "If someone in Sister Agnes's unit dies, the Orthodox Church will definitely not let it go."

"Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with your Puritanism?" Hitomi Shiranui asked.

"They don't care about this." Tsuchimikado Motoharu said with a smile, "Besides, they will take the opportunity to find a reason to attack the scientific test. If they don't do it well, there will really be a war between science and technology... Oh, it's so dangerous!"

Ling Xingye glanced at him, always feeling that this guy was gloating.

Next, Tsuchimikado Motoharu took Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui back to Academy City through the high wall with ease.

At this time, it was already the early hours of September 10.

"By the way, have you passed the access control time?" Ling Xingye asked.

"Yeah," Shiranui Hitomi didn't care too much, "After all, it's already early morning."

"It's okay, right?"

"It's okay, at most tomorrow will be a little troublesome...Xingye, you have to help me."

"Okay, okay," Ling Xingye took out his mobile phone, "But this time the workload will be a bit heavy - after all, the news of your disappearance has already spread a lot, and even my phone was blown up by Mr. Sachiko."

"Oh..." Hitomi Shiranui sighed in a rare way, "I really envy Shokuhou Misaki, who can change the memory of multiple targets with one click, I can only take my time one by one."

Shiranui Tong originally planned not to go back at all, and lived directly in Ling Xingye's apartment, but seeing the current situation, he had to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible.

Downstairs in the dormitory, after reluctantly parting from Hitomi Shiranui, Ling Xingye confirmed Arisu Ito's report, and then returned to the apartment alone.

On the way, his cell phone rang suddenly.

When I opened it, I saw a series of garbled codes with unknown meanings.

Ling Xingye immediately understood.

"Good morning, Chairman Aleister."

"Just now you violated the rules and left Academy City without permission." The chairman's unique, unidentified voice came from the other side of the phone, "Not only that, but you also took a powerful person out with you."

Ling Xingye couldn't help being taken aback. Seeing Tu Yumen Yuanchun's confident appearance, he thought it would be safe for him to smuggle him out of the country, but he didn't expect to be approached just as soon as he turned around... or the city's top boss.

Ling Xingye himself didn't care too much, he had some dealings with Aleister, and the two parties belonged to a shallow cooperative relationship.

But Aleister mentioned Hitomi Shiranui, which made Ling Xingye care.

"You're right, so what are you going to do?" he asked rhetorically.

"Neither you nor I like nonsense," Aleister said, "We need to cooperate."

"I thought we were working together all the time."

"That's just you unilaterally dealing with the problems caused by you. Besides, you are silver now, and it is your bounden duty to deal with automatic puppets. So, I don't see what you have done for me."

"However, you haven't given me much help, have you? Before the summer vacation, I wasn't Baiyin's puppet master."

"So we need to cooperate." Aleister said, "Or, you must obey my orders, because you are a superpower in Academy City."

Ling Xingye wanted to refute, but immediately realized his subtext—not only himself, Shiranui Hitomi is also a superpower in Academy City!

"Is this a threat?"

"It's a threat."

Ling Xingye looked in the distance, in the direction of the "windowless building".

Sprites stood quietly behind them.

"I have no malice." As if seeing Ling Xingye's appearance, Aleister said in a steady tone, "I said, this is also cooperation. If necessary, I can help you get rid of those automatic puppets."

"Heh," Ling Xingye sneered, "Then what do I need to do?"

"A lot happened last month, a lot will happen this month. And I need to keep the city going."

Aleister paused: "Therefore, what I need is not 'Silver' Ling Xingye, but 'Level 3 Phase Fulcrum', and 'Leader of the Armed Incapable Group' Ling Xingye."

"..." Ling Xingye suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu, "Tuyumen Yuanchun...what is the relationship with you?"

"He's a spy."

"So that's how it is..." Ling Xingye raised his head and sighed, "He made a move."

"I remember you have a lot of dark parts." Ling Xingye continued.

"Yes, that's part of the city, too; so is the group of armed incompetents. If you don't use it, someone else will."

Ling Xingye asked: "Someone is instigating them?"

"It's always been there, it's just more serious now." Aleister said, "It will be more serious in the future."

Because the next one is the "Daba Star Festival", the time when espionage and sabotage activities are the most rampant every year.

"alright, I got it."

…

At two o'clock in the morning on September 10th, outside Academy City, the abandoned theater Bomingza.

After treatment and rest, Agnes Santis woke up.

She was the most seriously injured of all, who was hit hard by the "Disillusionment Punch".

More than 200 members of Sister Agnes' troop gathered in the abandoned theater, temporarily occupying the existing seats here.

Everyone was frowning, and Agnes, who stood on the stage, tried to boost morale, but she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything in the end.

After a disastrous defeat, she really has no position to blame her subordinates, and she is not in the mood to take care of other people's emotions for the time being.

- Miserable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will definitely be punished when I go back this time.

Agnes, who was regretting in her heart, suddenly heard commotion from below.

"Nun, behind you..."

Agnes's heart tightened, she clenched her lotus wand, and turned around cautiously.

At some point, there was an extra person in the center of the stage.

Wearing a tuxedo, leaning on a civilized stick, a slender man.

The roof damaged by the battle happened to cast a ray of moonlight, shining on the man like a spotlight.

The man bowed politely to the audience, then flipped his right hand, conjuring a top hat out of thin air and putting it on his head.

"They are all frowning, so please enjoy the performance of the magician Baoliang."

The corners of Baoliang's mouth were raised, showing a bright smile.
