Academy City's Puppet Master

"Did I say it?" Regarding this, Hijikata Mamoru was very calm, "My goal is to become a swordsman like Zatoichi. That is to say——I want to be a hero! The so-called hero saves the beauty, will go to Only the one who saves the beautiful girl can be considered a hero!"

It's not the first time Ling Xingye has heard him say this point of view - for Tufang Hu, he will take the initiative to "save the beauty" in order to become a qualified "hero"; not to gain the favor of beautiful women And favor and become a hero.

Regarding this, Ling Xingye could only smile noncommittally.

"To be honest, it's a bit of a waste..." He couldn't help sighing.

But Tufanghu said: "Actually, Xingye, you are the real selfless hero, right? No matter men, women, old or young, as long as someone dies in front of you, you will help him without hesitation."

"Hehe, it's not as noble as you said." Ling Xingye smiled, but his face was calm and expressionless.

"It's just... just a habit." He murmured softly, his voice drifting away with the wind.

Are you used to...?

The earth guard still accurately captured the voice of his companion.

But he didn't continue the topic.

Indeed, as one of Ling Xingye's few friends, Tufang Hu knew very well how persistent Ling Xingye was in "saving people" or "protecting others"—it could almost be said that he was reckless and never hesitating. to the point.

It's nothing more than people he knows, even strangers who have never met, even "enemies" who have fought with him, will not hesitate to rescue him, even at the expense of getting himself hurt.

He was able to win the unanimous support of the group of armed material ability users because too many similar things happened, and it was the result of the group who pursued the "extreme spirit" and "the righteousness of the rivers and lakes" were all convinced.

From this point of view, Ling Xingye is the truly selfless hero.

===Chapter [-] Spider Meeting===

The private electric locomotive of the earthwork guard is powerful and speeds along the road.

But the two teenagers who devoted themselves to tracking Yuan Shanyao's whereabouts did not notice that while they were tracking the target, they were also the target of others.

Bai Yinyao followed the two of them far away. She got a motorcycle from nowhere, and changed into a tight-fitting black windbreaker she just bought. She wore a dark red full-coverage helmet on her head. If Ling Xingye saw it, he probably wouldn't recognize it, right?

However, the suitcase containing Xing Tian could still reveal her identity immediately - Bai Yinyao boldly tied the suitcase to the back seat, and when she was speeding on the road, she looked terrified, for fear that the suitcase would be thrown off.

If she hadn't been speeding all along, she might have brought the guards over long ago, right?

However, Bai Yinyao always kept a block distance from Ling Xingye and the others, leaving them no possibility of "witnessing".

For Ling Xingye's intuition and vigilance, Bai Yinyao even trusted Ling Xingye himself.

Moreover, even if they couldn't see them, it wouldn't affect Baiyin Yao's tracking.

Because the "spider" came.

"Spider" is the most professional intelligence agent in Silver. For him, it is easy to track a person who is not hostile.

It is easy to complete the task.

In fact, the "spider" really just "casually" followed Ling Xingye's trail.

At this time, he was reporting the latest information to Baiyin Yao, the secret about the alchemist Oreos.

At the same time, he is also making the same report to Lu Cun of the headquarters on the seventh floor of the Hyperion Robotics Development Company.

On Lucun's workbench, and on Baiyinyao's motorcycle faucet, there is a spider the size of a bowl lying on its head -- of course, it is a "spider puppet" with a mechanical body.

As for the puppet master, "Spider" himself did not show up at all.

This is also the "professional habit" of senior intelligence officers.

Even within the "Silver" organization, few people have seen the "Spider" itself.It is not clear whether it is male or female, old or young... There are even rumors that "Spider" is actually an automatic puppet that submits to "Silver".

After all, every time he uses the mechanical spider to communicate and transmit information, it is a puppet of "wireless control"-this is not in line with the purpose of "Silver".

Now, "Spider" is relying on his two mechanical spiders as a channel to hold a simple information exchange meeting with Baiyin Yao and Lu Cun.

As for the task of tracking down Ling Xingye, he just sent a smaller spider to get it done.Really don't bother.

Bai Yinyao is also distracted, driving a motorcycle and attending meetings at the same time.

……

"That is to say..." Baiyin Yao summed up the information obtained from the spider, "The reason why Oreos became an alchemist was simply to find a way to cure and save the list of forbidden books? Therefore, we use the alchemist's highest To tempt him with his achievements, it’s not really that attractive?”

"Huh? Why are you... yes," the spider said after being stunned for a moment. "As far as I know, he is not an alchemist in the normal sense. He chose alchemy as the last resort when he was desperate. Time to hope..."

"It's so ironic!" Lu Cun sneered, "It's just a newcomer who became a monk halfway, but he touched the true meaning of alchemy earlier than those alchemists passed down from generation to generation... The world is made, and gold is made."

"This also means that his alchemy talent is extremely high, and he does not need the knowledge we have accumulated." Spider said, "Knowledge and truth are not what he is looking for."

"So, is the key breakthrough still in the catalog of banned books?" Bai Yinyao said.

"I saw that girl last month." Lu Cun recalled, "And now she is in this city, specifically, next door to Ling Xingye. How about kidnapping her as a hostage?"

Faced with Lu Cun's obviously malicious joke, the other two ignored it.

Baiyin Yao was puzzled: "But the memory problem of the list of banned books...isn't something already solved? The purpose of Oreos actually no longer exists!"

Because in the "Prohibited Book Catalog Incident" last month, Ling Xingye was the direct party and participant.

He was even the only seriously injured person, so "Baiyin" conducted a special investigation on this incident.

"Spider" came to Academy City from then on.

The cause and result of the incident are now revealed.And a report was made to the senior management of "Silver".
