The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Boss, it's me, Qifan!"

The people outside the door politely knocked on the door to report.

Ling Xingye looked at Shokuhou Misaki beside him, who just blinked at him.

"Come in." Ling Xingye said.

"Excuse me!" Qifan pushed open the door with a large bouquet of flowers, followed by a secretary who was also carrying a high-end gift box for visiting patients.

"I'm sorry for coming so late. I saw your friends were there just now, so I didn't rush to disturb you." Qifan said, "Congratulations on your recovery!"

He hands out flowers.

"Thank you!" Ling Xingye took the bouquet, and then glanced at Shokuhou Misaki who was sitting next to the hospital bed.

Shokuhou Misaki blinked again and smiled sweetly.

The two who had just entered turned a blind eye to her.

Ling Xingye smiled wryly in his heart, and under close observation, "psychological invisibility" is really amazing.

But since Shokuhou Misaki is unwilling to expose himself, he has no reason to expose it on purpose.

"You have worked hard these days." Ling Xingye manipulated the silk thread and put the bouquet aside, "Also, thank you for your support during the Siberian battlefield!"

"Ah, these are what I should do!" Qifan said quickly, "Isn't it natural to support the boss in your battle?"

"How is the situation of the 'Group' now?" Seeing Qifan, a conscientious workaholic, Ling Xingye couldn't help raising his enthusiasm, "Have you encountered any trouble?"

"Everything is normal at the moment, please rest assured." Qifan said, "This time I came here simply to visit the boss, please rest assured, I will not let work matters disturb your rest."

"Also..." Qifan paused for a while, "There is one more thing I want to pass on to you."

He gestured, and the secretary behind him hurriedly put down the gift box and walked to the door to say hello.

I saw two burly men pushing in carrying a box.

"This is?"

Qifan explained: "Master Harlequin asked me to bring it here."

"Harlequin..." Ling Xingye immediately guessed what was in the box.

Now the puppet buffoon has been completely controlled by Ling Qianji, so he really can't be regarded as his own puppet.

That being the case, in order to ensure Ling Xingye's combat effectiveness, it is necessary to find a new puppet.

Ling Xingye opened the box with a snap of his fingers, and there was indeed a puppet folded and stored inside.

"This is a substitute that Mr. Harlequin made while repairing himself." Qifan said with a strange expression.

The puppet of his own boss suddenly had a sense of autonomy, and could even defend himself... If it wasn't for being in Academy City, Nanami felt that he would definitely not accept such a thing.

"That guy..." Ling Xingye was helpless.

To be honest, he quite liked the clown, after all, it was a masterpiece made by a puppeteer, even among all puppets, it was at the top level.

Suddenly replacing the clown, among other things, will greatly affect the combat effectiveness.

—It seems that the repair progress of sprites is going to be accelerated.

Ling Xingye thought about it.

The performance of the sprite is not as good as that of the clown, but after all, it is the puppet that has been with him for the longest time, and the tacit understanding cultivated for a long time is enough to offset the performance gap.

But before that, we can only use this "substitute" puppet as an emergency.

"Huh? This puppet..." After manipulating the silk thread to make the stand-in puppet stand up from the box, Ling Xingye noticed something special.

This "substitute" is different from ordinary puppets, and it sounds more like the automatic puppets of the "Tiefeng Group" that I met back then.

In other words - robots.

If he hadn't known it in advance, Ling Xingye would have thought it was a humanoid robot.

Of course, this is not accurate.

Only the body structure is a robot full of futuristic style, but its manipulation method is still the most primitive wire-drawing manipulation, full of a sense of misplacement.

tick...

Shokuhou Misaki, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly raised the remote control in his hand. Immediately afterwards, as if the pause button was pressed in the room, the picture suddenly stopped.

To be precise, Qifan and the four of them were pinned down. Both eyes became the queen bee's star pupils, maintaining the same posture just now.

"As everyone knows, this is the latest model of the body, also known as the clone doll. It is a model developed by the talented girl researcher Ryoko Koba." Shokuhou Misaki said, "It is said that it has been confirmed that this body can carry real Self-awareness. Ling Qianji also wanted to borrow this body, so he specially ordered it."

"You know a lot." Ling Xingye said.

"Of course," Shokuhou Misaki said proudly, "In this Academy City, there are no secrets that others don't know!"

In fact, Shokuhou Misaki had already gone to Ling Qianji, but she had nothing to do with this kind of "split personality" that had actually been finalized.

"After careful consideration, it seems that Ling Qianji still decided to continue using his current body, so he sent this double over." Shokuhou Misaki analyzed.

The "stand-in" cancels the electronic brain and supporting main control functions, and deletes most of the power system, simplifying the mechanical structure to the extreme. Then use the saved space to strengthen the body so that it can withstand high-intensity battles.

Ling Xingye manipulated it a little bit, and found that it was smoother than expected. It seems that the modification and debugging of Lingqianji is not in vain.

After finishing the explanation, Shokuhou Misaki pressed the play button on the remote control.

The "still" picture resumes motion.

"Boss..." Qifan, who didn't find any abnormality at all, continued, "Do you need to send someone to protect you?"

"No need, when did I need bodyguards?" Ling Xingye refused, and then asked, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Master Harlequin asked me to bring the puppet, doesn't it mean that you need to protect your own combat power, boss? And it is indeed very likely that there will be danger recently..."

Before finishing the seven words, he was "suspended" again.

"About this, I also want to remind you, Master Xingye~" Shokuhou Misaki said~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although you have such a powerful ally now..."

The queen bee patted her chest triumphantly, and then continued: "But at the same time, there are many more enemies!"

"It can't be because of the enemies you brought me, right?" Ling Xingye rolled his eyes.

"Of course not! They have never had enemies...there are two enemies." Shokuhou Misaki muttered in a low voice, and then amplified his voice, "Allies and enemies are actually for the same reason~"

As she spoke, she leaned out and took an envelope from the bedside table on the other side of Ling Xingye—it was from Passy, ​​an invitation to invite Ling Xingye to attend the next council meeting.

"Do you know? Master Xingye, you are the uncrowned king of the underground world. Now..." Shokuhou Misaki shook the envelope in his hand, "I was invited to join the governing council again, do you know what that means?"

She approached suddenly, leaning in front of Ling Xingye.

"There are rumors that you are very likely to become the new director!"
