The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Hiss... time-based ability?" Seeing this, Ling Xingye took a deep breath.

Time is a rare ability that is more rare than space. According to the library information, there are less than ten people in Academy City who have time-related abilities, and almost all of them are low-level ability users below level 2.

None of them are truly combat-ready.

Even counting the magician, in Ling Xingye's cognition, there is no real "time maker".

But at this moment, right in front of his eyes, the magician Baoliang performed a trick of time.

Manipulating space, playing with time...

Magician Baoliang's difficulty was far beyond Ling Xingye's expectation.

He would rather deal with Yan Shijia or the crow than fight this guy.

Bao Liang smiled and bowed to Ling Xingye, then turned to salute the auditorium.

It's as if you're actually performing on stage.

Ling Xingye and Yaoyao were encircling one after the other, but they did not continue to take any action for a while.

The enemy has the two magic weapons of time and space, even Ling Xingye doesn't know where to start.

Bao Liang moved with the exaggerated movements of the stage performance, jumping up lightly like a dance. When he landed, he was already holding the top hat in his hand.

As is so often seen in magic shows, one can imagine the magician about to pull a rabbit out of a hat or release a dove...

Baoliang is doing the final process—showing the hat to the audience.

When the mouth of the hat turned towards Ling Xingye, an orange-red beam shot out!

Ling Xingye had been prepared for a long time, and immediately used the phase fulcrum to form a barrier to block it.

boom!

A slightly dull impact echoed in the venue.

Even with a "barrier" with absolute defensive capabilities, Ling Xingye was still knocked back several steps by a huge impact.

—It's not a laser, this familiar feeling... It's a railgun!

Smelling the smell of the air after excessive discharge, Ling Xingye immediately thought of Misaka Miqin.

"It's more powerful than expected! That girl..."

Ling Xingye has seen Misaka Miqin's famous stunt more than once, but it is the first time to bear such a blow head-on.

Obviously, the super electromagnetic gun just now is not comparable to the level of three times the speed of sound.

After receiving such a sudden blow, Ling Xingye was more at ease than being slightly frightened.

— Being able to release such a powerful railgun shows that Misaka Mikoto is still alive and kicking.

Like the wind in front just now, I am afraid that Baoliang can't do anything about them for a while, so he can only use his space ability to trap them somewhere?

Maybe... Ling Xingye thought optimistically, Sister Yang and Shiranuo Tong are in a similar situation.

The blow failed, Bao Liang flipped his hat over and aimed at Ling Xingye again.

This time, the mouth of the hat became a vent, gushing out a violent gale.

But he was still easily dodged by Ling Xingye.

Baoliang put away his top hat and put it back on.

There is no value in losing the magic trick of surprise.

"Then..." it was thinking, and the civilization stick was flying around sensitively at its fingertips, "Let's come to some classic shows."

While Baoliang calmly responded to the attacks of Yaoyao and Ling Xingye, he raised his civilized stick and slammed it heavily on the ground.

"Stay tuned for the next show - Ten Thousand Swords Through the Box!"

Bao Liang said softly: "The essence of magic is to play with matter!"

As if conducting an orchestra, Bao Liang waved his civilized stick.

Boom!

The ground of the theater stage vibrated; the flat marble floor suddenly melted, deformed, and finally turned into a box of unknown material, trapping Ling Xingye in it.

Then, the wreckage of the automatic puppet on the ground flew up and turned into twelve long swords in the air.

Under Bao Liang's command, the long sword flew down, piercing the box from different angles.

"From this angle, you have nowhere to hide..." Baoliang frowned, "But the touch feels wrong."

Zheng!

With a flash of cold light, I saw that the box was divided into two obliquely.

Ling Xingye jumped out of the box unharmed.

Inside the box, there were broken swords scattered all over the place.

boom!

Thunderous cheers and applause broke out in the auditorium, and everyone rejoiced at Ling Xingye's smooth escape.

"You are so popular, hero!" Bao Liang laughed, "You really are a born performer!"

"Unfortunately, I was too obsessed with fighting, but neglected to perform on the stage." Bao Liang shook his head again with a regretful expression, "It's really not doing a proper job."

Ling Xingye raised his eyebrows: "You bastard! If you don't fight well, it's not doing your job well if you just indulge in acting?"

If the automatic puppets of the Yanshi organization were like it, maybe the world would really be peaceful, right?

...without taking into account the words of those poor "spectators" around.

"Hey, I'm pointing you out as a stage senior." Bao Liang said with a relaxed smile.

"Tsk!" Ling Xingye was calm on the surface, but he became anxious in his heart, "It's troublesome!"

He has no way to attack the enemy - phase fulcrum and sprites are not born for fighting. To put it bluntly, Ling Xingye's fighting methods are only a few, and at this time he is quite helpless.

"So, you can't do it." Bao Liang said, "Hurry up and let another you appear on the stage."

Ling Xingye remained silent. Through the Misaka Miqin incident a few days ago, he had already learned that his second personality seemed to have some kind of stronger power—it could really do things like "manipulate thunder and lightning".

But this also made him vigilant. Before he figured it out, he didn't dare to try to switch personalities on his own initiative.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in a corner on the edge of the theater.

All of a sudden, the openings of the black holes were opened, and various sundries were ejected from them.

No, it's not sundries... Looking carefully, they are all the remains of automatic puppets.

"It's troublesome!" Bao Liang was stunned to himself, "Sure enough, those two crazy women shouldn't be allowed in!"

What it originally wanted were Lu Xuyang and Shiranui Hitomi, two women who were closely related to Ling Xingye, but because Misaka Mikoto and Shiranui Hitomi happened to act together, it had to arrest them both.

As a result, because they had no time to deal with it personally, they could only be exiled to the "backstage maze", using complex terrain and automatic puppets to delay time.

By the way, the wind ahead is handled in the same way.

At this moment, under the stage, in an intricate maze~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lu Xuyang walked through the maze with Misaka Mikoto, carrying Hitomi Shiranui who had fallen into a coma on his back.

"Damn it! I can't get out at all!" Misaka Mikoto was irritated, her whole body was flashing with lightning, "Why don't you just use another electromagnetic cannon to open a way!"

"Calm down. Judging from the situation just now, the enemy has the power to move in space, and it can divert your attack to other places." Lu Xuyang persuaded, "The worst thing is to shoot at us in reverse!"

"It's really annoying!" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but think of Accelerator's vector operation, and she couldn't handle this type of attack.

Lu Xuyang said: "That's right, it seems that Baoliang is the legendary magician in Yanshi. Its magic...is far more than that!"

"Aside from manipulating space, what else?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"There is also time and matter." Lu Xuyang said, "Its magic can also be called-'world'."
