Academy City's Puppet Master

The last one was the boy who attacked with a baseball bat just now, he quickly operated the phone: "Turn off, turn off..."

Then he looked at a certain data slot on the screen, and he looked distressed: "It took 36 seconds to boot up, and it took [-] points... This is a waste of money!"

"But it's really effective." The eldest brother comforted, "This time it's level 3. If we don't use the 'power reduction' function, it will be very difficult for us to win. Don't worry, the consumption will be shared equally this time."

As he spoke, he also took out his mobile phone and knelt down beside the victim.Then open the software called "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0".

Take pictures of the downed "prey" and take fingerprints for identity verification.

"Okay, submit...confirm!" the eldest brother muttered.

His two younger brothers also leaned over and stared at the phone screen together.

"Come here!" Soon, the three shouted excitedly at the same time.

"Sure enough, it's level 3, not bad. There are a total of [-] reward points!" The golden retriever whistled.

The three formed a team together, so it was easy to share the rewards for this mission.

"We have an average of nearly [-] points in the account again, and we are one step closer to upgrading!" The elder brother nodded with satisfaction.

"But accumulating points like this is really too slow!" The club man complained, "It's only about 3 points for knocking down a level [-]—but if you want to upgrade to a three-star level, you need [-] points!"

"Yeah, I really can't wait," Golden Retriever said with deep emotion, "It is said that some advanced players have already received rewards for improving abilities—the legend of the 'Fantasy Master' is true!"

"Hmph, of course it's true!" said the eldest brother, "Hasn't the 'declining ability' already appeared?"

The ball stick man continued: "But if you want to unlock the 'Fantasy Royal Hand' function, you must at least upgrade to a three-star or above... At that time, we will be able to raise our ability to level 3!"

"So what about level 3?" The eldest brother sneered, kicking the powerful person under his feet, "We killed it so easily!"

"But I still want to raise the star level as soon as possible!" Jin Mao said, "It is said that after the five-star level, you can become level 5!"

"Speaking of this..." the ball stick man opened a certain interface, "The top two on the leaderboard are five-star levels! Could it be that they have become level 5 superpowers?"

"Hmph, who knows if it's true or not?" The elder brother curled his lips, "It's not like we haven't played other games before—isn't it a common trick of the game operator to hang two top numbers on it to stimulate players!"

"Brother is right!" Golden Retriever nodded repeatedly, "But this game doesn't seem to need to do this, does it? It's not that we want to make money..."

"Who knows?" The stick man shrugged, "But who cares? As long as you can take revenge on those oppressors who have always been high above you! Not to mention being able to become stronger - no matter how you look at it, there are only advantages and no disadvantages." matter."

"That's right!" The eldest brother also nodded in agreement, "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, just grasp it! What are you thinking about so much?"

"Besides, if we really can krypton gold... we must not be able to compare with those rich people!"

Satisfied, the three left the bridge hole unsteadily, leaving only the powerful man lying on the ground.

"By the way, which one of you still has a good prey? Hurry up and tell me, I'm going to do a big job!" The elder brother's shout came from afar.

"I know one, he is the monitor of our class, because he is level 3, he is defiant..."

===Chapter [-] Readme===

In the evening, the Midsummer Festival of Tokiwadai Middle School has come to an end.

Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui returned to the apartment.

Then, just like his promise, Ling Xingye explained everything to Shiranui Tong.

"Two years ago, when I was just familiar with fighting with sprites, I met that woman named 'Hua'." Ling Xingye said.

"At that time?" Hitomi Shiranui also moved.

She clearly remembered that it was Ling Xingye's most painful stage at that time - all kinds of strange enemies suddenly began to come to him one after another, almost every other day, new enemies would appear, making Ling Xingye exhausted.

If it weren't for the fact that the enemies at that time were not too strong, and almost all of them were relatively low-level automatic puppets, Ling Xingye couldn't hold on at all.

During those six months, Ling Xingye went to school during the day and went out to fight at night, so he hardly had time to sleep well.

It was still relying on Hitomi Shiranui's hypnosis and fast sleep method to barely guarantee the necessary rest time.

"In retrospect, it was really a gloomy day..." Ling Xingye said with lingering fear.

"However, I feel very fulfilled." Shiranui Hitomi said with a smile, "After that, Xingye seldom relies on me so much anymore."

Ling Xingye smiled knowingly, and continued: "At that time, there were battles almost every day, and the fight was in the dark-it was really an experience that I didn't want to recall. So many memories were subconsciously sealed by me."

"Until recently, I didn't consciously re-examine that memory." Ling Xingye's expression gradually became serious, "Then I found a major problem."

"I...killed someone." Ling Xingye hesitated for a moment, then said every word.

"You mean... among those attackers..." Hitomi Shiranui covered her mouth and exclaimed, "But, didn't you say that the enemies destroyed were all puppets?"

"Yes, I really think so." Ling Xingye smiled bitterly, "I didn't mean to deceive you..."

"I don't doubt Xingye either, it's just that I can't understand it."

Ling Xingye showed a thoughtful expression: "Now that I think about it carefully, I really didn't lie or deceive on purpose - because at that time, even until now, I still don't think they are human beings!"

"There is no expression, no emotion, except for the appearance of a human female, there is no trace of humanity in other places!"

"It's not the case of Misaka sister - the moment I saw Misaka 10001 for the first time, I can confirm that she is human, but the 'flower' I saw is not like that!" Ling Xingye looked at the TV cabinet, Two days ago, there were two geisha puppets there. "If you really want to compare them, they are more like the dolls given to Saten Ruiko and the others a few days ago."

"Beautiful, but definitely not human. At best, she is just a puppet with a human body!"

"Maybe it sounds like my justification," Ling Xingye sighed, "but I really think so - I refuse to admit that they are human beings, even if the blood that flows out of the wound after beheading them is bright red .”

Shiranui Tong suddenly reached out and held Ling Xingye's trembling hand: "I believe in you."
