The Puppeteer of Academy City

"What should we do next?" Several girls looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, a girl walked in - wearing a denim jacket covered with metal chains and rings, her hair was dyed purple, and she also wore large rings on her ears. She almost wrote the words "bad girl" on her face.

But this non-mainstream girl was very kind. She greeted Saten Ruiko and the others with a smile, and then handed over the tablet in her hand.

"Thank you, this is the information about the next meeting object."

After a few days, Saten Reniko and Isshiki Chihui are already very familiar with this girl.

Although it looks a bit scary, she is Qifan's right-hand man, and she can barely be regarded as a secretary or something, right?

Qifan specially sent her to take care of these girls and be in charge of work contacts.

So in front of her, they were not restrained at all, and they all wailed in disgrace. Even Ruiko Saten, who was always full of energy, lay down on the table regardless of her image.

"No, no, no, no, no! I really can't do it!" Yise Qianhui said repeatedly, "I really can't continue acting, just now I felt that I was almost exposed!"

The bad girl comforted: "Don't worry, every meeting is a brand new object, with your performance, you won't reveal your secrets."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Your efforts have already achieved certain results - since yesterday, the outside has become much more stable. The information of 'The Return of the Chief' has effectively deterred many people who secretly rebelled!"

Yaoshiji Meixi was even more worried: "It's all come to this point, if it is exposed, wouldn't the situation be even worse?"

Isshiki Qianhui smiled wryly and said: "It's too hasty, the squad leader's plan... When it came, I didn't expect Xingye's status and identity to be so important."

Isshiki Qianhui likes to imitate others, not only the voice, but also the tone, way of thinking, and even personality of the subject—this is no longer a simple "voice imitation" with strong ability, but also a combination of "profile" ability "Personality imitation".

Therefore, in the more than a dozen video conferences in the past two days, although some people thought "Ling Xingye" was a bit strange, no one suspected that the leader on the other side of the screen was a fake.

But just because Yise Qianhui's ability is too strong, in the imitations again and again, she is also constantly guessing the real Ling Xingye's way of thinking, and personally understands the pressure he is in this position.

Maybe it's nothing to Ling Xingye himself, but to the imitator Yise Qianhui, it's almost unbearable.

"To be honest, this is the first time I feel afraid of imitating others..." Isshiki Qianhui looked bitter.

So much so that she became the first person who couldn't bear the pressure, even earlier than junior high school student Saten Ruiko.

"I'm almost reaching my limit." Saten Ruiko also raised her hand and said.

In order to manipulate Ling Xingye's stand-in puppet, her hands and fingers were already so tired that they were about to cramp.

The puppet was provided by Hitomi Shiranui, who transformed it from a half-finished puppet in Ling Xingye's apartment.

Ling Xingye's common tactic "Puppet Double Dance" originally required the sprites to be dressed up as himself, so Hitomi Shiranui easily found Ling Xingye's face mask? Coupled with the cover of simulated skin and clothing? If the upper body is used for video conferencing, there are almost no flaws.

Finally, hand it over to Ling Xingye's "proud disciple" Saten Leizi to manipulate? Let the puppet "live"? It's really seamless.

The various image synthesis technologies of Academy City are highly developed, with the technological level leading the world for 30 years? It has almost reached the point of being fake.

But the people living in the big environment of Academy City, that is, the citizens who have lived and grown up here since childhood? They can instinctively distinguish the subtle differences between virtual images and real people.

So? It is impossible to deceive those club leaders by using image synthesis technology. Instead, the "ancient" method of substitute puppets is more effective.

Seeing that his companions were retreating one by one, Yuan Shanyao had no choice but to stand up to boost morale.

"Big... Don't worry, everyone, we did a great job!" Yuan Shanyao mustered up his momentum? The moment he spoke, his voice quieted down again—she was really not good at doing this kind of thing.

But there is no way? She and Hitomi Shiranui are the main promoters of the project to search for Ling Xingye. When the squad leader, Hitomi Shiranui is not around, she is the overall person in charge of the plan.

"Well, don't worry!" Yuan Shanyao repeated again, "I will 'watch' carefully? If it really reveals the truth, I will issue a warning in advance? So don't worry!"

With such a "prophet" as a guarantee, everyone really felt relieved. Although I continued to complain for a while? But soon I entered the state again and started a new "performance".

Yuan Shanyao looked at the information? Quickly explained the key points of the next lines to Yishi Qianhui.

"...This association usually smuggles high-tech products from Academy City? The main customers are major European and American countries. So? Let them be responsible for collecting and providing information on John Brison."

"Foreigner?"

"Yes, he is the manager of an equipment supplier in name, but he is actually an observer of the United States. Although he is not a superpower, he has strength and has a reason to kidnap Xingye." Yuan Shanyao said, "It is one of the main suspects. one."

This John Brison was also a few days later, "Ling Xingye" ordered his subordinates to investigate the ninth object of intelligence collection.

In order to find the missing Ling Xingye, Shiranui Hitomi runs around every day.

Starting from Saten Ruiko's memory, she investigated all the people who were in the thirteenth school district one by one. Finally, combining the memories of many people, she locked down ten main suspects.

Last night, Hitomi Shiranui visited "Hubrian Robot Development Co., Ltd." again, borrowed Lucun's "transponder", and finally confirmed that the most suspicious person was Chime Kihara.

Hitomi Shiranui knew the name of the Kihara clan for a long time, and the surname "Kihara" has always been a frequent visitor on the top forums and journals of Academy City.

Then, she obtained the other side of the Kihara clan from Frenda through Saten Ruiko's relationship.

—Mad Scientist, a group of ruthless, weird and powerful monsters.

At this point, Hitomi Shiranui is almost certain that the suspect who kidnapped Ling Xingye is Chihara Kihara!

However, in order not to startle the snake, and to avoid other low-probability situations, Shiranuotong let Yishiqianhui and the others continue to investigate the other suspects.

As for Hitomi Shiranui himself, he didn't have a meeting with them.

She made a special trip to the residence of the flower group to meet with the leader of the flower group.

The two were not familiar with each other, so after a simple greeting, they went directly to the topic.

Commander Hua asked someone to bring over a box, about one meter high.

"This, I think it should be handed over to you." Commander Hua said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Shiranui Hitomi saw that it was a transnational package, and the address on it was the "dormitory building" of this flower group, the recipient One item was filled with Ling Xingye's name.

"What is this?" Hitomi Shiranui asked.

"Just look at it." Commander Hua also looked at it curiously.

Shiranui Hitomi didn't refuse, and directly opened the package, only to find that inside was a puppet curled up into a ball.

"Puppet?" Hitomi Shiranui wondered, "For Xingye? Did he order it abroad?"

"This is no ordinary puppet." Commander Hua observed it carefully and said solemnly.

"Is there anything special about it?"

Commander Hua didn't speak, but pointed to the back of the puppet's neck.

Above is the signature of the manufacturer, just like a trademark.

The maker's name is - doll maker.
