The Puppeteer of Academy City

Click!

The crisp sound echoed in the space.

Ling Qianji kept smiling, but the moment he heard the sound, his expression suddenly froze.

"...you're lucky..." Ling Qianji muttered to himself, looking down at his chest.

Through the clothes, one can clearly feel that the gears embedded in the chest are running smoothly, just like the heartbeat of a human being.

However, Ling Qianji knew that at that moment just now, the rotation of the gears had stagnated.

At the same time, the power inherited from Baibian Baoliang suddenly weakened.

Sighing softly, he raised his head and looked to the other side of the long table.

"Did something happen?" On the other end, Ling Xingye asked.

At this moment, the two were sitting at both ends of a long table in a dark and deep auditorium.

Surrounding them is a huge space that feels empty. It is not until a very far away that they can see the huge ornately decorated stone pillars and the walls further away.

Let me add a word, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app\\\\] is really good, it is worth installing, and even Android and Apple phones support it!

Above the head is a dome with almost no end in sight, countless lights hang in the sky, like a sky full of stars.

I don't know how long I've been here, but Ling Xingye still patiently confronted Ling Qianji.

Before that, he never knew that there was such a place in his "Juzhongjie".

—If my memory serves me right, I should have passed out after the battle with the water behind. So, like last time, is it just my consciousness here?

Ling Xingye also looked down at his hands.

Since he came back to his senses, he has been sitting at this long table; and sitting opposite him is the puppet "Harlequin", but he has the same appearance as himself.

That was Ling Qianji - Ling Xingye understood this the first time he saw him.

Then, there is a long confrontation.

Neither of the two parties spoke, just sat in silence, looking at each other.

Until just now, a small collision sound broke the stagnant atmosphere.

"What happened?" Ling Xingye asked with interest.

"A little accident." Ling Qianji said briskly, "Compared to this, don't you give up—honestly become a puppet or something?"

"How is that possible? I have no reason to do so."

"What are you still insisting on? You and I are one, and only through cooperation can we exert our true strength!"

"Of course I know that. But you said it—who is the puppet, who is the puppet master...whatever." Ling Xingye spread his hands, "I'm sorry, I never intend to admit defeat, even to myself."

Hearing this, Ling Qianji sighed unabashedly.

He is also very helpless, obviously his side is stronger, and has also awakened, and has obtained the power of "Various Inheritance", which can be said to be fully dominant, and almost perfectly achieved the original goal...

Except for one variable—the consciousness named Ling Xingye.

In fact, "Ling Xingye" is the real second personality, a cover to hide Ling Qianji.

But things are unpredictable, he met the "Queen of Memory" Hitomi Shiranui, she used the ability "memory construction" to build his own memory palace for Ling Xingye, and even made a backup of Ling Xingye's memory in her own mind.

As a result, it is impossible to completely delete the memory of "Ling Xingye".

Memory is the foundation of personality, so the individual "Ling Xingye" cannot be cancelled.

Moreover, the memory belonging to "Ling Xingye" has an overwhelming advantage in terms of quality and quantity, and it is completely different from Ling Qianji's memory, and even annexation and fusion are impossible.

"It's a joke, I met that girl..." Ling Qianji sighed again - if he had met Shiranui Tong, the situation would be very different now, right?

Just now, the "Various Legacy" that has been supporting Ling Qianji suddenly weakened. It made his already few advantages even weaker.

It was almost as if it had been calculated.

That's why Ling Qianji sighed that Ling Xingye was "good luck".

"Stubbornness is not my character." Ling Qianji raised his hands, "Now that things have come to an end, let's talk about it, Ling Xingye."

"Can."

The moment Ling Xingye nodded, the long table between them suddenly shortened, bringing the distance between them closer.

"I don't mind whether I am a puppet or a puppet master," Ling Qianji said, "I only care about one thing—the truth."

"truth?"

"The ultimate mystery of this world - what kind of scenery is there on the outside of the world?" Ling Qianji said, "The only thing I really want is this, and I was born for it."

"And only if you are strong enough can you be qualified to explore this ultimate mystery. Therefore, my only requirement is to become stronger, stronger! If you can't become stronger, then I can't possibly recognize you no matter what."

Ling Xingye nodded: "I don't comment on your pursuit, but the improvement of strength does not conflict with what I want - in the current situation, no matter what you want to do, you must have enough strength."

The two shook hands together and reached a consensus.

"Then I will stay in the body of the 'Harlequin' temporarily." Ling Qianji snapped his fingers and disappeared suddenly.

The huge auditorium also dissipated.

Ling Xingye's consciousness became drowsy, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep...

Then, as if awakened with a start, Ling Xingye suddenly opened his eyes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It took a while for Ling Xingye to adapt to the dark environment.

What I felt at the same time was the heavy body and limbs—the tiredness and powerlessness accumulated from lying in bed for too long.

The smell of disinfectant filled the nostrils, making Ling Xingye realize where he was.

Just nearby, there was the sound of light breathing.

Looking back, a girl in a school uniform was lying on the bed, already asleep.

It was already pitch black outside the window, and the surroundings were completely silent, full of the atmosphere of night.

"Hitomi..." Ling Xingye raised his hand and gently brushed the girl's hair.

Then he looked to the other side, beside the hospital bed, there was a person standing quietly.

Although he knew that there was someone next to him when he just woke up, but at first glance, there was a figure standing under the dim light, which was indeed a little scary.

"...Yuanshanyao?" After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Ling Xingye asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

It's late at night now, how could Yuan Shanyao, a good girl, come here regardless of the gate control?

"Hush..." Toyama Haruka made a silent movement, pointing to Hitomi Shiranui at the side.

Then, she stepped back and left the ward silently.

Ling Xingye thought for a while, then quietly got up and walked out.

In the corridor, he saw a girl who was waiting for him.

"Xingye, it's great that you can wake up!" Yuan Shanyao offered his blessings, "I hope you will recover completely as soon as possible!"

"Thank you. I'm also sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"No, it's nothing." Yuan Shanyao shook his head again and again, "It's the squad leader who has been with you all this time. I just saw this future, and I just came here just in time."

"Xingye, I'm sorry!" Then, Yuan Shanyao suddenly bowed forcefully, with a very sad tone, "I failed!"
