Academy City's Puppet Master

After all, she really couldn't bear to be sick like this anymore - now is not the time to recuperate!

As expected, this world still depends on the face. If someone else took out the needle bag, Misaka Mikoto's first reaction would definitely be to discharge it first.

Facts have once again proved Liu Yinjian's superb medical skills. After a few injections, Misaka Mikoto was refreshed and felt much better immediately.

"This is just a temporary illusion," Liu Yinjian reminded after finishing the treatment, "The next step is to take a good rest and recuperate."

"Anyway, thank you so much, Doctor Liu!" Misaka Mikoto bowed and thanked you.

The girl who was not short of money was ready to pay the consultation fee, but before she could speak, Liu Yinjian's cell phone rang suddenly.

Taking a few steps back, Liu Yinjian answered the phone.

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." After hanging up the phone, Liu Yinjian picked up the vegetables he bought and left in a hurry.

"Well, forget it..." Misaka Mikoto took back her wallet and grabbed the handheld computer again, "I will thank him later when I have a chance, let's deal with the immediate matter now."

After walking away, Liu Yinjian raised the phone again and started talking: "Now we can talk."

"It's nothing special." Kumiko Yanaka's lazy voice came from the opposite side, "Just a routine notification to you that the action has begun."

"Are you ready to contact the target?" Liu Yinjian asked, "Who was sent out?"

"What do you think? Your master can't invite you at all, and you're shopping outside, and I'm drinking at home..." Kumiko's voice was already slightly drunk, "Of course it's my boss himself... After all, In order to negotiate and trade, you must always dispatch enough important characters."

Liu Yinjian sighed to this woman from the bottom of his heart—is Lu Cun really all right?How could he hire such a person as his partner?

"...Okay, I see. I'll inform Yao." Liu Yinjian said.

Hang up the phone and dial Baiyin Yao's number again.

===Chapter 97 Barrel Robot===

……

"Oh, I know."

After Liu Yinjian reported the news to his employer, all he got was such a bland response.

"Is that all right?" Liu Yinjian couldn't help but make an exception and asked, this reaction is too flat, right?

"Of course, this was originally a task assigned to Lu Cun. Anyway, that guy won't take the risk himself, just wait for his news." Baiyin Yao seemed to be chewing food while talking on the phone, his voice was a bit vague, " Well, don't bother me with such trivial things, I'm eating!"

After all, the opposite party directly hung up the phone.

Liu Yinjian shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he has always been very patient, and after working with him for a while, he has already figured out the temper of his employer.

So I can accept all this calmly.

Forget it, let's take a walk back slowly, there is no rush anyway...

Liu Yinjian slowed down and walked leisurely, as if he were visiting the cultural scenery of this foreign city.

For outsiders, everything in Academy City is novel and interesting, even if it is just an ordinary street, it will be interesting if you pay close attention.

For example, the barrel-shaped robots that can be seen everywhere on the streets-these automatic robots with part-time sweeping, monitoring and guarding functions are all over the entire Academy City, and they are an integral and important part of the city's functions.

And it has a basic answering function, which can meet the general needs such as "calling the police, asking for directions, asking for help".

Therefore, in this city, under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as getting lost.

Of course...Liu Yinjian knows that if you ask for directions, it means that your personal information and destination information are also obtained by these machines at the same time.

For those not ordinary "tourists", avoiding these robots is the first choice.

Along the way, out of professional instinct, Liu Yinjian also avoided the robot's camera as much as possible.

Of course, he is a normal immigrant with legal procedures, so there is no need to worry about these.

Unlike Liu Yinjian's subconscious vigilance, the residents of Academy City are very used to these robots as part of their daily lives.

There are even many people who like robots very much...

Just like the girl in maid outfit who "slid past" in front of Liu Yinjian.

The reason why she is said to be "sliding" is because of her posture - she maintains a sitting posture and moves with a horizontal displacement without moving her whole body.

Because she is sitting on a barrel-shaped robot, using the robot instead of walking.

This composition is very abnormal no matter how you look at it, even Liu Yinjian, who is well-informed, can't help but take a second look, because his brain can't handle such a scene for a while.

But because this is Academy City, this kind of scene is just a part of everyday life that everyone takes for granted... Maybe?

The maid girl sitting on top of the robot frowned slightly, and tapped the robot shell under her body lightly.

When intersecting with another sweeping robot, she suddenly jumped off the previous robot and switched to a new "car".

Not far in front of Liu Yinjian, he could hear the complaining voice of the girl maid: "What's wrong with that machine? It's not very obedient."

No wonder he was disobedient... Liu Yinjian smiled inwardly—he had already seen the LOGO of the "Hubrian Robot Development Company" on the shell of the robot that the maid was riding on.

Reminiscent of the information obtained before, the operator behind this robot should be Lu Cun himself.

Lu Cun said that he was going to negotiate with the alchemist Oreos, but the other party was in a tense state of being hunted down, so he constructed the building he was in as a fortress.

So no one is sure of being able to enter it in a "peaceful" way.As a negotiator, it is of course impossible for Lu Cun to go to the danger himself. With his ability, it is only natural for him to have a robot substitute.

Moreover, the body was originally intended to be used as cannon fodder for one-time use, and Lucun did not use that highly anthropomorphic stand-in body, but chose a mass product with a lower cost.
