The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Puppeteer? Is this a person's name?" Hitomi Shiranui asked strangely. It looked like a handwritten signature, but the content was more like a trademark.

Commander Hua frowned, "It's not a human being, but an automatic puppet—no, strictly speaking, it should be the name of a Yanshi."

"It's strange," said Shiranuo Tong, "Yanshi has the meaning of a puppet maker, but he even named it a puppet master?"

"It's really strange," Commander Hua held Shiranui Hitomi to prevent her from getting close to the puppet in the box, "The doll master was once one of the most famous Yanshi, but he disappeared a century ago, and we never heard of it again. I told her whereabouts. How did she know Ling Xingye? And she gave him this puppet?"

While speaking, Commander Hua waved his hands, manipulating his metal petals to surround the puppets, as if facing an enemy.

"Be careful, you back away first." She pulled Hitomi Shiranui behind her, called Hua Qishier and others, and transferred the puppet to the underground laboratory with full armor.

After more than half an hour of comprehensive inspection, Commander Hua let go of the puppet with doubts.

"How is it? Is there any question?" Seeing her serious expression, Hitomi Shiranui asked hastily.

But Commander Hua shook his head: "No, there is no problem at all. It's just an ordinary puppet...impossible. According to legend, the puppet maker is a master who can make Yanshi-level puppets. How could he send over an ordinary puppet that is just like a toy? puppet?"

Shiranui Hitomi didn't care about these things: "Then shall I take it back?"

"Of course..." Commander Hua was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly changed the topic, "No! Ah, what I mean is, before Ling Xingye comes back, it's better to keep this guy with us. Send someone to monitor it—after all, it is the work of a puppeteer, so don't be careless!"

I don't know that Huotong's thoughts at this time are all looking for Ling Xingye, and he doesn't care about Commander Hua's abrupt attitude change, nor does he care about this puppet sent from outside.

"In this case, please Miss Hua continue to help me keep an eye on Xingye and Kihara Chime's news." Shiranui Hitomi didn't stay any longer, said goodbye and left.

After sending Hua Qishi to see off the guests, Commander Hua stayed alone in the laboratory, looking at the puppet.

"As far as I know, the news of the puppet master's death just came in two days ago, right? Calculating the time, this puppet was probably sent here after that... What's the purpose?"

No one answered in the empty lab.

After a moment of silence, Commander Hua continued, "You can come out now, there is no one else here."

Then, I saw a silk thread hanging from the ceiling? A mechanical spider the size of a washbasin was hanging down along the thread.

"You really didn't tell her?" Commander Hua was not surprised by the spider's appearance.

"Do you mean?"

"Information about Ling Xingye?

"Is that child an outsider?" Spider said. "It's best not to get involved in the matter of our silver."

Commander Hua sneered when he heard the words: "In your opinion? In fact, I am the real outsider, right? You never trusted me, did you?"

Commander Hua is a clone created by Yanshi Crow. It was originally a tool used to replace Hua Twenty-one? He was once a deadly enemy with the real silver puppet master.

"You're being serious." Spider said, but he didn't hide his doubts. "Of course, if there are only other members of the flower group in this station, it may be more credible."

The pupil of Commander Hua's prosthetic eye suddenly narrowed and flashed a dangerous red light: "So compared to me, you trust Lu Cun's 25-year-old kid more?"

Her tone was full of sarcasm: "Don't tell me you don't know his secret plan! The people at the headquarters may not know, but since they are all in Academy City, even I know something about that guy's connection with there!"

The spider was silent for a while, and then said: "You don't have to worry about it, I am free."

"Hehe." Commander Hua sneered twice? He shot suddenly.

The metal petals rose suddenly, rushing in like a tide.

Cut off the spider's silk thread? Then turn it into a chain, binding the spider like a hairy crab.

"What are you doing!" Spider was shocked and angry.

Commander Hua didn't speak? The cutting laser was shot directly from the fingertips of the mechanical prosthetic hand, cutting through the spider's outer armor.

Lightly flicking with fingertips? Lifting the armor? The spider suddenly stopped struggling.

"Sure enough..." Commander Hua sneered. "How do you explain this?"

I saw the familiar signature engraved on the torso of the spider——Puppeteer!

With the heartbeat, the metal petals gathered and turned into a sharp sword, aiming at the spider's body.

"Wait!" Spider shouted quickly, "I am Baiyin! I am absolutely loyal to Baiyin!"

"Such words are the most meaningless." Commander Hua sneered again and again.

"No, I swear by the Iron Law of Baiyin, I will protect Ling Xingye with all my strength—this is Baiyin Yao's order."

"Then why hide information from Hitomi Shiranui?"

"Because she is Ling Xingye's most important person! So I have to protect her too!" Spider explained, "If I tell her where Mu Yuan is, what do you think she will do?"

"Looking for someone?"

"She will die! Kihara... That guy is a monster. I have never seen such a terrifying and weird existence. Although the Muhara clan itself is beyond common sense, that guy has gone one step further—I even doubt that he is Not human!"

"So, this is how you protect Ling Xingye?" Commander Hua sarcastically said, "Prevent others from saving him?"

"So I told Lu Cun the information." Spider said, "He will definitely go to take Ling Xingye back, but he will definitely not succeed. He will find out the situation for us—we currently lack information about the enemy."

"Okay." Commander Hua was persuaded, she dispelled the long sword in the air, but did not untie the chain on the spider, "The last question—"

She suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked, "Why did you stop me from handing over this puppet to Hitomi Shiranui just now? Is there any problem with it?"

"It was made by a dollmaker—that's enough," said the Spider.

After thinking for a while, he added: "You may not know that the puppet made by the puppeteer...has the potential to become Yanshi."

Essentially ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yanshi is a high-level life form detached from automatic puppets. Unlike imagination, Yanshi cannot be copied and cannot be backed up.

Because Yanshi's "soul" is completely fused in the suspected liquid in the body, once the body is destroyed and the suspected liquid dissipates, it means Yanshi's death.

Dungeons, doppelgängers and the like are impossible for Yanshi.

"There are only two exceptions," Spider explained, "One, the Yanshi born through the 'death parade', because its essence is the fusion of thousands of automatic puppets, there is a 'core'—that is, the elected The automatic puppet that comes out, it seems that the liquid will condense into a specific form. At that time, as long as the core is transferred, the backup regeneration can be realized. Of course, the side effect is to drop the rank, and it is difficult to restore the Yanshi seat again. "

"Second," the spider said solemnly, "it is the body made by the puppeteer, and then the puppet master 'attracts' to become an automatic puppet, and finally evolves into Yanshi—as long as there is a body made by the puppeteer, it can be freely transformed and backups with virtually no side effects!"

"That is to say," the spider concluded, "in the eyes of some Yanshi, this puppet is their spare body! It's better to keep this troublesome thing with you."
