The Puppeteer of Academy City

"I saw Misaka-san and her mother," Shiranui said when he came to the private room, "What's the matter with them?"

"It's nothing, I just came to say hello and thank you." Ling Xingye pointed to a box of souvenirs on the table, "Perhaps they want to add another layer of insurance to prevent anyone from continuing to think about them."

Hitomi Shiranui smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about that. As a level 5, Misaka-san who is serious is capable of protecting her mother. She lost her temper this morning, and more than a dozen institutions were forced to paralyze. Dare to be angry and dare not speak."

"Really?" Ling Xingye subconsciously looked up at the lamp.

"You don't have to worry, she won't attack here anyway." Hitomi Shiranui said, "Okay, the time is almost up, let's go."

Ling Xingye nodded, picked up his travel bag and left the underground tavern with Hitomi Shiranui.

In order to resolve the rigid relationship between Ling Xingye and Lu Xuyang, Shiranuo Tong specially arranged today's lunch to let them speak clearly.

In the previous duel with Bao Liang, Ling Xingye learned the truth that he was the original script of "Thousands of Changes".

Therefore, he was deeply shocked and doubted his life more than ten years ago. And also began to suspect Hitomi Shiranui who created a "second personality" for herself, and Lu Xuyang who seemed to hide many secrets.

Yesterday afternoon, Ling Xingye and Shiranui Tong were frank and honest, and had an in-depth conversation directly in the form of memory exchange, completely solving the misunderstanding.

Therefore, Ling Xingye also confirmed that his problem is probably a seed planted from the beginning of his birth.

It has no direct relationship with Ling's class and Hitomi Shiranui.

Even, the "second personality" created by Hitomi Shiranui essentially suppressed the erosion of his own personality by "Ling Qianji".

Then, Ling Xingye began to regret his indifferent attitude towards Sister Yang in the past two days.

And at this point, the "Ling Family Class", which Ling Xingye regards as a family, keeps revealing all kinds of secrets, and has a close relationship with the mysterious puppet master organization "Baiyin"... This makes Ling Xingye really I am very concerned.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to have a showdown with Sister Yang, and ask carefully what other secrets the family kept from him.

Therefore, Hitomi Shiranui specially arranged today's lunch.

Hitomi Shiranui chose an open-air restaurant. It happened that the weather was fine today, and there were not as many customers as the previous days, which was a good time for them to chat with each other at ease.

…

"So Xingye is worrying about these things," Lu Xuyang said after hearing Ling Xingye's apology and confession, "It really scared me, I thought you hated my sister..."

Ling Xingye coughed: "Okay, to be honest, sister Yang, did you already know that I am the original work of "Thousands of Machines"?"

"It's definitely a lie to say you don't know, but it's just a guess." Lu Xuyang stirred the drink in front of him with a straw, "To be honest, I was shocked just now, my sister."

Ling Xingye breathed a sigh of relief: "That is to say, you don't know about it either."

Ling Xingye felt relieved that the family members he valued the most had not betrayed.

"But on the other hand, regarding our Ling family class..." Lu Xuyang continued, "It is indeed related to the puppet master 'Baiyin' organization. In other words, we are a branch of 'Baiyin'."

According to Lu Xuyang's introduction, the Ling family class has a long history, and its ancestor was one of the original silver.

But I don't know if it's because the technology is not yet mature, or because the philosophy is different, the "Ling Family Class" is different from ordinary silver puppet masters.

Their "blood of silver" has been passed down from generation to generation, and has more excellent performance than ordinary silver. But it lacks the function of "slowing down aging and prolonging life".

As a result, the descendants of the Ling family class only have the lifespan of ordinary people, and can only rely on the relationship between master and apprentice to pass on from generation to generation.

Due to their short life spans, puppet masters from the Ling family class pay more attention to innovation and can adapt to external trends.

They are one of the very few commissioners sent out of the country to deal with automated puppets.

So after the class master passed away, all the brothers and sisters went abroad and scattered all over the world.

"It is neither a new school nor an old school. Our Ling family class is a school with its own system." Lu Xuyang said, "On the other hand, unless he is the heir of the current class master, other apprentices will not be told these secrets until they are 16 years old... "

As she said that, she looked up at Ling Xingye: "So, you just missed Xingye."

For this, Ling Xingye could only respond with a helpless wry smile.

In fact, Lu Xuyang didn't tell the truth completely—letting Ling Xingye become Bai Yinyao's junior, the orthodox old school Bai Yin, was deliberately arranged by her.

After all, judging from the actual effect, the orthodox "Blood of Silver" with the special effect of "longevity" is undoubtedly better than the inheritance of the Ling family class.

This can be regarded as her special concern for this little junior brother.

"Okay, then this matter will come to an end." Ling Xingye sorted out his mood and brought the whole incident to an end.

Lu Xuyang also nodded in agreement.

Then, she opened the next topic.

"By the way, I heard that Xingye officially accepted the position of leader of the group of armed incompetents?" Lu Xuyang asked with some concern, "Have you thought about what to do next?"

Ling Xingye didn't hide anything: "Let's integrate the underground forces of Academy City first. We caught some people who attacked Aunt Misaka yesterday, and we'll find out who they are talking about..."

Ling Xingye paused, and then said: "I will visit the door in person."

Lu Xuyang looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange.

She couldn't help but sighed, and said worryingly: "Xingye... you must protect yourself."

"Don't worry, Sister Yang, there are not many people in this city who can threaten me now." Ling Xingye said confidently.

"No, I'm talking about the senior brother and the second senior brother..." Lu Xuyang said, "Because I was trapped in Baoliang's Fangcun Mountain a few days ago, your senior sister Feifei sent a distress letter. If there is no accident, your Brothers and sisters will come."

Hearing that the senior brother and the second senior brother were coming, Ling Xingye, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly showed a toothache expression.

The reason why he has been reluctant to be this "leader" is because he is afraid of being taught a lesson by his two senior brothers...

Hitomi Shiranui on the side suddenly said: "So that's the case, that's what Ah Yao's prophecy said yesterday!"

…

Last night, when Ling Xingye sent Shiranui Tong back to the girls' dormitory downstairs, he happened to see Yuan Shanyao running out of the hospital and heading straight for him.

"starry night!"

Because of running too fast, Yuan Shanyao staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately Ling Xingye had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to support her.

"Are you okay?" Yuan Shanyao asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, but you..." Ling Xingye said.

"Leave my business alone!" Yuan Shanyao interrupted him forcefully, "Where's the monitor? Is she okay?"

"Don't worry~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm fine." Hitomi Shiranui also came over and helped her personally.

"Then what about the students in the class? Yakushiji-san, Isshiki-san..."

"It's fine," Hitomi Shiranui replied patiently, "Everyone is safe and sound. The coffee shop you suggested is really useful."

"Really..." Yuan Shanyao breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again, looking at Ling Xingye.

The expression on her face changed, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person: "Ling Xingye, I am Yuan Shanyao who returned from the future. In order to prevent the third world war, you must protect everyone!"

Ling Xingye and Shiranui Tong were stunned, and even Liu Yinjian, who was chasing after him, was full of surprise.

For a moment I didn't know how to react.

Suddenly, Yuan Shanyao laughed: "Okay, just kidding... Actually, my ability has improved, and I can see a more distant future. It was because I didn't get used to it just now that I saw the future and the reality. Confused."

"Are you really okay?" Ling Xingye hurriedly asked, "Go back to the hospital quickly and let the doctor check it again?"

"Well, I'll go back now." Yuan Shanyao nodded obediently, and then asked suddenly, "Xingye, how's the weather?"

Ling Xingye was a little confused, and looked up at the sky: "The weather is very good? There are no clouds in the sky, and the moon is in the sky..."

"But what I saw was a horrible scene of dark clouds covering the sun, rain and snow, lightning and thunder, strong winds, and dense fog."

…

"In retrospect, Yuan Shanyao's last words were indeed like a prophecy." Ling Xingye recalled.

"Because the brothers and sisters of Xingye are the complete collection of 'weather'." Shiranuo Tong said.
