The Puppeteer of Academy City

Because of the "Silver 0" incident, the atmosphere in the ward was a little dignified.

In terms of "replicants", Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 have a heart-to-heart pain.

Even Saten Renko, who didn't know about it, knew that this matter was very bad. It is not at the level of "urban legend" at all, so it looks nervous and dare not relax.

Hitomi Shiranui rubbed her forehead, then looked down at Ling Xingye on the hospital bed.

Then he raised his head and said, "Let's go out first, don't disturb Xingye's rest here."

As he spoke, he pushed Baiyin Yao out of the ward first without giving others a chance to argue.

"Really, even in deep sleep, I have to listen to these messy and troublesome things. Starry Night is really hard." Shiranui Hitomi said.

After leaving the ward, she didn't go far, but sat down on the bench in the corridor.

Bai Yinyao seemed to have something to say, and they also sat down together, showing no intention of leaving.

Misaka 10001 has always regarded Ling Xingye as his "master", and even more confidently waited at the door.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko looked at each other and stayed behind.

Bai Yinyao looked around, checked carefully, and finally muttered: "Okay, let's go here."

Then, she knocked on the suitcase beside her.

The box opened slightly, revealing a gap.

Immediately afterwards, a puff of silver smoke emerged from it. The amount of smoke is very small, and it is diluted in the air almost instantly and disappears.

After finishing all this, Baiyin Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"Actually, the next words should be told to Xingye, but now..." Bai Yinyao looked at the ward, "But because of your connection with Xingye, Xiaotong, it's the same to tell you first."

"What's the matter?" Hitomi Shiranui frowned slightly, with an ominous premonition.

Bai Yinyao smiled wryly and said, "What you said just now is correct, it is a very troublesome matter..."

"Is there another enemy coming?" Hearing such a conversation, Misaka Mikoto raised her spirits and pricked up her ears.

"Hmm..." Bai Yinyao pondered over his expressions.

At this time, I suddenly remembered a mobile phone ringing.

Several people present followed the prestige and found that it was Hitomi Shiranui's mobile phone.

"Ah, it's from Starry Night." Hitomi Shiranui took out two mobile phones from his pocket, and the one that rang was the older one.

When he was admitted to the hospital to change his hospital clothes, Ling Xingye's belongings were handed over to Hitomi Shiranui for safekeeping.

"Empty number?" Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Hitomi Shiranui was stunned.

Several other people also looked at it together and found that the screen was indeed "empty number" - there was nothing in the column of the calling number.

"Is this a characteristic of your Academy City?" Baiyin Yao asked.

"How could there be such a feature?" Misaka Mikoto said.

Shiranuotong remembered something: "I remember Xingye mentioned a similar situation... Ah, I see."

Only one person would contact Ling Xingye in this way.

After a little hesitation, Hitomi Shiranui answered the phone.

"Good afternoon, Chairman Aleister."

Hearing the address she called out, Saten Ruiko suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh? Chairman? Is it the legendary chairman?"

Misaka Mikoto's bangs flashed an arc, almost subconsciously tracking the electromagnetic wave signal.

As a result, the clue was broken at the front desk landline inside the hospital.

She looked towards the window at the end of the corridor—and in that direction, there was the windowless building.

"Good afternoon, Shiranui-san." A voice similar to electronic synthesis came from the other end of the phone, and Aleister seemed to have no idea who he was talking to.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Hitomi Shiranui asked cautiously, "Ling Xingye is now..."

"I know." Chairman Aleister said directly, "In fact, I was looking for you."

"Find me?"

"Because Ling Xingye can't talk now." Aleister said, "So it's the same to find you. In other words, it's more appropriate to find you."

"So, what's the matter?"

"I want information about the battle just now. The more detailed the better." Chairman Aleister said directly.

"...That's it?" Shiranui Hitomi couldn't believe it, not because it was difficult, but because it was too simple.

She has always believed that Ling Xingye's cooperation with Chairman Aleister is to seek skin from a tiger, and she doesn't trust the mysterious man who hanged the test tube very much.

Now, just as Ling Xingye fell into a coma, he came to the door, looking like he was taking advantage of the fire.

But I didn't expect to just make such a request.

Hitomi Shiranui is a "memory builder" that can easily provide the information Chairman Aleister needs.

"That's it, your information is very important to my plan." Director Aleister said, "You don't have to worry too much, I have no reason to conflict with 'Silver' now. In exchange, before Ling Xingye wakes up, I will keep him safe - as long as he is in this hospital."

"Okay, deal!"

"It's amazing, to be able to talk directly to the chairman!" Under such circumstances, the only one who could express such pure admiration was Saten Renko.

Hitomi Shiranui put away her phone, rubbing the space between her brows wearily.

"Sorry, I interrupted." She looked at Bai Yinyao, "Sister Yao, please continue."

"Don't worry, I'm here to protect Xingye." Bai Yinyao reassured, and then continued, "Let me think about it... By the way, let's start there first."

"Let me ask you, who was the final winner of the previous Crusade?" Baiyin Yao asked them.

"It should be the Crusaders, right? Didn't the Pope give a speech when she came?" Saten Ruiko recalled.

"Although they seem to have suffered heavy losses, the entire Queen's fleet is gone." Misaka Mikoto continued.

"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Saten Ruiko asked hastily.

Although the decisive naval battle of the Crusades was fought in public, the details of it were unknown to the general public. Even Ruiko Saten, who likes all kinds of urban legends and gossip, doesn't know the true face of that war.

What Misaka Mikoto knew was actually the information she saw when she hacked into the depths of the network, as well as the first-hand information collected through the Misaka network.

"The Crusaders...that's just a superficial winner." Baiyin Yao shook his head.

"So... it's your silver?" Misaka Mikoto guessed, she knew that the silver puppet master participated in that war.

"We are the biggest losers." Baiyin Yao said with a wry smile, "The double-digit 'Baiyin' was lost in an instant, which greatly damaged the vitality of the entire organization and was almost overturned by the automatic puppets."

"Could it be the 'Yanshi' organization?" Shiranuo Tong did the elimination method, "How is this possible? Didn't they also lose the same number of Yanshi? And they also crashed a floating fortress..."

"Those cunning automatic puppets have fooled everyone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Baiyin Yao said, "Leaving aside the floating fortress, they lost a total of twelve Yanshi, but..."

She changed the subject and asked, "Do you know the 'death parade' of automatic puppets?"

Hitomi Shiranui nodded.

"Then I won't explain it in detail," Baiyin Yao continued, "Before the Crusades began, due to the killing of puppet masters, there were hundreds of 'death marches' all over the world. Six new Yanshi."

"Could it be that…"

Baiyin Yao nodded: "What they lost were the newly born Yanshi, and the impact on the entire organization was almost zero. But what we lost... was the real main force!"

In addition, the "silver 0" that has been successfully developed and spread around...

"Humanity's troubles are coming." Hitomi Shiranui said.

"I really hope that everyone can clearly distinguish who is the real enemy." Baiyin Yao nodded in agreement.
