Academy City's Puppet Master

"Yeah, the spider on Silver's side... is an old opponent. When I get rid of him, it's over for you too."

"But I picked up the alchemist." Crow said.

"At least one of the original goals was accomplished."

"But that guy seems to have been stimulated by something, and his spirit is a little abnormal."

"At that time another group of people were dealing with him," Yan Shijia said, "but it doesn't matter, the great witch will cure him."

The crow flew all the way at low altitude before scuttling into a departing plane.

……

Kihara Kazuta closed the news interface on the computer screen.

"It seems that the experiment has to be postponed again... I have some skills!"

At the bottom of the web page, Ling Xingye's photo and enrollment files were revealed.

He snorted coldly, and closed this page again, at the bottom was the admission file of Misaka 10001.

Suita Kihara looked at the photo above, then suddenly picked up the phone and called the insider.

"Tell Fangchuan Kikyo to pay close attention to the psychological state of the test subject, and to appease Accelerator's emotions by the way."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and then said to himself: "We still need to activate the backup plan... I hope that the 'human brain array' he claims really has a powerful computing power comparable to the 'tree graph designer'."

……

AIM Analysis Research Institute, in Kiyama Haruo's laboratory.

The mechanical crow is standing in front of the computer and talking.

"...Because of the series of incidents yesterday and early this morning, Academy City has secretly entered a state of emergency," Crow pointed to the top of his head with the tip of his wing, "All the big figures above are focusing on the third force that suddenly appeared , in addition to this, their focus is the Roman Orthodox Church and magicians again.”

"That is to say," Crow patted the screen behind him, on which was the latest news update, "The little commotion we caused a few days ago has completely faded out of people's sight. Now the most popular urban legend is no longer It's 'Fantasy Hand', but 'Vampire' and 'Auto Puppet'."

The crow's eyes were fixed on Mushan Chunsheng: "It's time for the next step."

"What are you going to do?" Mushan Chunsheng had already given up on himself, and chose a path to the dark.

"Actually, I've already started." The crow walked aside and tapped on Mushan Chunsheng's cell phone with the tip of his claws.

Then directly manipulated her mobile phone and downloaded a certain program.

"This is the mobile phone software I released on the day of the commotion," Crow introduced. "The name is 'Fantasy Royal Hand', and it is a mobile game software."

"Mobile game?" Mushan Chunsheng snorted, "What's the use of this?"

"Of course it is for further promotion and to allow more people to join our plan." Crow said, "Do you remember? I said that I want to expand the scale of the network by at least ten times!"

Crow pushed the mobile phone in front of Mushan Chunsheng: "Here, your mobile phone is bound to the administrator account - the highest authority. You are the highest node of the network."

Haruno Kiyama picked up the phone, and he could see a background interface that ordinary "players" did not have - it displayed the levels of all "players".

In short, it is a leaderboard.

The two at the top of the ranking jumped to the top overnight because they completed the task of "resisting vicious invaders".

"'Puppeteer' and 'Electric Shock Guta'?" Mushan Chunsheng read out these two names with a strange expression.

"Heh, it's really simple and easy to understand." Crow commented.

===Chapter [-] The person who attacked the girl===

?? On August 8, two weeks have passed since the "big riot".

Under the control of public opinion in Academy City, the long chaotic battle concerning the No.17 school district has been forgotten by people.

The only thing left is the ever-popular "Vampire Legend" - which is said to have become one of the "Seven Mysteries" of Academy City.

With the technical strength of Academy City, a large area of ​​the No.17 school district, which was almost abandoned after the war, was rebuilt and repaired in a short period of time. For those who are not familiar with this place, it is impossible to find that it was destroyed not long ago. .

Because three paladins of the Roman Orthodox Church were captured alive on the "battlefield" that day, Academy City took the opportunity to extort a sum of compensation to repair the damaged buildings.

As for the other culprits, they were not held accountable for various reasons.

Fortunately, Ling Xingye and Misaka Miqin did not bear an astronomical amount of compensation.

Now they have all returned to their normal summer vacation life. Except for those who witnessed the incident, no one knows what they have experienced not long ago.

All is at peace...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The sound of light breathing rhythmically sounded from the path of the park, accompanied by the sound of equally regular steps.

It seems that someone is running at night in this remote and uninhabited park.

—if you exclude the sound of more footsteps and shouts that followed...

The park is located in a remote place, and even many of the landscape lights in the park have been turned off.

So it's really not a place to visit at night, especially for a girl.

But at this time, it was a girl of junior high school age, running in the dark tree-lined path.

Behind her, there are a dozen delinquent boys chasing after her.
