The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Cheers to our victory!" Isshiki Qianhui cheered with high spirits.

"cheers!"

The crowd below cheered and toasted together.

Of course, all the people present are minors, so the glasses are full of juice and milk.

"Cheers to Xingye's safe return!" Glancing at Ling Xingye who was smiling helplessly in the corner, Yise Qianhui toasted again.

"cheers!!"

Hitomi Shiranui pushed Ling Xingye with his shoulder: "After all, it's for you to celebrate, so be happy."

Ling Xingye rubbed his forehead: "They just want to find an excuse to make a fuss. By the way, how did you make them obedient?"

Ling Xingye pointed at Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki with his eyes.

When he left the stage just now, these two were still looking like they were about to break out a level 5 battle.

But when they opened the door and came back, it was calm. Everyone was divided into two tables and sat quietly in their respective positions, as if they were all well-behaved ladies.

Hitomi Shiranui smiled: "After all, they are all good children who are knowledgeable and respectful, as long as they remember who is the master here."

In the corner of the other table, Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kamijou Touma also curled up in the corner, completely at a loss for the Tokiwadai ladies around them.

"I like beautiful girls, but I don't expect this kind of development." Tsuchimikado Motoharu murmured thoughtfully.

It is worth mentioning that Maiko Tsuchimikado volunteered to be the maid of the party. She dexterously shuttled in the limited space by herself and enjoyed it.

"At this time, I really envy Index's carefree fellow!" Kamijou Touma said.

Under Kanzaki Kaori's strong request, Index sat next to her and was cared for and fed by her meticulously.

The silver-haired nun ate very happily, and could be said to be the only one present who was purely enjoying the feast.

The celebration banquet lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

Due to various reasons such as access control, Hitomi Shiranui announced its disbandment in time.

"At this point in time..." Ling Xingye looked at the completely dark sky outside, "Fix the route, and I'll take you back."

He said out of habit.

"Ah, no need, we are going to continue shopping." Isshiki Qianhui said.

"No, it's better to be cautious." Ling Xingye shook his head, "There is a high probability that there are many automatic puppets lurking in Academy City."

If it was any other time, Ling Xingye would not be nosy, but today these girls all walked out of their own homes. Ling Xingye believes that they are likely to be targeted by the nearby automatic puppets—almost certainly, the automatic puppets Someone must be responsible for monitoring their movements.

If there are indeed automatic puppets lurking in.

Misaka Mikoto also said: "Let Sarenko and Uiharu leave it to me, there are so many people, you don't care about Starry Night, do you?"

Just as Ling Xingye was about to speak, he was interrupted by the phone ringing.

When I took it out, it turned out to be a key reminder of "sending and receiving emails"—someone triggered the keyword.

"Vampire", "Automatic Puppet"!

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} Someone found them in District 7!

Ling Xingye's complexion changed, and he immediately called the members of the nearby law enforcement team and asked them to **** the girls home for him.

As for Ling Xingye himself, he hurriedly said hello and ran to the place where the incident happened.

In the same school district, Ling Xingye moved at full speed and quickly arrived at the destination.

After searching around, nothing unusual was found, and no automatic puppets or victims were found.

Ling Xingye frowned, wondering if the whistleblower had made a mistake.

Suddenly, he noticed the fog dissipating around him.

Tread Tread...

A girl wearing the uniform of an unknown school walked out of the alley, surrounded by a thin layer of mist.

"Third Senior Sister..." Ling Xingye recognized the other party at a glance, it was Yu Wufei, Third Senior Sister, "Good evening."

"Good night," Yu Wufei nodded, and then looked at Ling Xingye carefully, "It seems that you are fine, that's good."

"Uh...thanks for your concern, I've been fine."

Due to the matter of "framing" Ling Xingye before, the relationship between the two was a little awkward, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"I heard that there are automatic puppets around here..." Ling Xingye changed the topic to work.

"I have already solved it." Yu Wufei said.

"That's good." Ling Xingye trusted the strength of Third Senior Sister, "Since I'm fine, then I'll go back?"

"Go slowly, pay attention to safety on the road." Yu Wufei said.

Watching her junior brother leave, Yu Wufei sighed weakly.

"I'm really sorry for making it difficult for you." There was another burst of mist, and Lu Cun's figure walked out of it.

"Master."

Lu Cun nodded, and waved his hand to dissipate the fog covering the alley behind him: "It's a new type of automatic puppet, no wonder it's so concealed."

In the narrow alley, there were wreckage lying on the ground.

But it is not a puppet in the usual sense, but a tragic scene of blood and flesh.

But it is not a human corpse, but closer to the product of some kind of fusion of flesh and machinery.

Lu Cun squatted down without changing his expression, carefully inspecting one of the wreckage.

"Achieving this level can already be regarded as a transformation of people, right? Has Yanshi finally reached this point?"

"Using humans as raw materials to make puppets?" Yu Wufei asked next.

"No, puppets should be made of 'flesh' or 'cells'." Lu Cun looked serious, "Although they look like humans on the outside, they were not humans in essence from the very beginning."

"But in the end," Lu Cun stood up, clapped his hands, and a team of barrel-shaped robots came and began to recover the wreckage, "If we, the silver puppet masters, are going to deal with it, I'm afraid it will still be affected by the iron law, only you Only members of the Ling family can ignore the iron law and kill them."

"It's time to update the iron law." Lu Cun said.

"Master," Yu Wufei asked suddenly, "Why are you so obsessed with junior brother?"

Lu Cun turned to look at her, and said, "Why... After all, he and I are eternal enemies."

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}Yu Wufei obviously didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me with such reasons anymore, you have hidden your strength so far, I don't believe that the former junior brother is really can kill you!"

Lu Cun said helplessly, "I wasn't so good at the beginning."

"That's not a reason," Yu Wufei insisted, "I became your disciple ten years ago, and you were already very strong at that time."

"I didn't say it was within such a short period of time..." Lu Cun shook his head and said softly to himself, and then said loudly, "But to be honest, what I really want to kill is the original "Thousands of Machines"."

…

Ling Xingye took a trip and returned to the apartment soon.

The girls had already left for most of the time, and the room suddenly seemed much more spacious.

Hitomi Shiranui, Haruka Toyama, Misaka Sisters, and Shokuhou Misaki are still here, and three neighbors, Kanzaki Kaori, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Kamijo Touma, are sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

Ling Xingye was no longer surprised by this "small-scale" gathering, and naturally joined in.

Picking up his teacup, Ling Xingye noticed an iron box in the middle of the table.

Yuan Shanyao stared at it palely.

"What's this?"

"I don't know, someone sent it suddenly just now." Hitomi Shiranui said, "The attached note says it's for Xingye~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so we haven't opened it yet."

Kanzaki Kaori's expression was serious: "Xingye, you'd better be careful, the one who sent it was a master, he appeared suddenly, and the speed was very fast, I only had time to cut off his legs. But even so, he didn't stay , still running away quickly. It's like...a puppet without pain."

"Automatic puppet?" Ling Xingye quickly scratched his fingertips, drawing runes in the air with his blood.

This is the only "spell" Ling Xingye has mastered, which is the ritual to lift the "Yanshi Curse".

But to put it bluntly, it is to use its own "silver blood" to offset the "suspected liquid" of the automatic puppet, and the so-called outlining runes are just to make the blood evaporate better.

After doing all this, Ling Xingye was finally relieved and focused on the iron box on the table.

"No, don't open it here!" Yuan Shanyao stopped suddenly, his face very ugly.

But it was still a step too late. Misaka Mikoto, who was already eager to try, had already manipulated the electromagnetic force to lift the lid of the box.

And leaned over to find out.

"Ah!!" Misaka Mikoto, who was always carefree, suddenly let out a very girlish scream.

And subconsciously pushed the box away.

So much force was applied that the box fell and its contents tumbled out.

It is a head.

Not some weird work of art, but the real thing, a severed head from someone's body.

Immediately, screams rang out in Ling Xingye's ears.

But Ling Xingye recognized the identity of the head.

Not long ago, I also dealt with it—the right seat of the gods, the land on the left.
