Academy City's Puppet Master

They actually gave up the advantage of long-range sniping and chose close combat!

The smog filled the air, and Ling Xingye could only see faint black figures flitting around.

The tight combat suits worn by the enemies seem to incorporate the related technology of "clockwork bandages", allowing them to move with speed and agility far beyond ordinary people's level.

Moreover, the full-coverage masks of these hounds have a built-in display screen, which can filter out the obstruction of smoke and see Lingxing Ye clearly and unmistakably.

When necessary, you can also switch to different "modes" such as infrared, X-ray, and sonar for visual reinforcement.

The flying blade trap that Ling Xingye set up around him was also clearly displayed in the enemy's sight because of the effect of the smoke.

The hounds seem to have rehearsed countless times, and the mutual cooperation is intimate - whenever there is a silk thread around, there will inevitably be two short knives interlaced in the shape of scissors, and then cut the silk thread in one fell swoop!

Like peeling cocoons, the hounds revolved around Ling Xingye round and round, peeling off one after another silk traps, and kept approaching the inside.

The twelve hound members are almost identical from the outside, except that male and female can be roughly distinguished.

Accompanied by their dazzling running movements, it created the illusion that dozens or hundreds of hounds were attacking at the same time!

Ling Xingye was distracted for a moment, his eyes blurred, and then he felt a chill in his abdomen—although his body retreated instinctively, it was still half a beat too late. A hound's short knife had already cut open the skin on his stomach.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen wounds spewed out bloody arrows at the same time on the limbs and even the neck.

The hounds retreated with one blow, turning into streaks of dark lightning away from Ling Xingye's position.

They are like hyenas on the African grasslands, constantly swimming around their prey, rushing up to bite off a piece of meat when they are not prepared.

Then it consumes the prey bit by bit.

Tactics are nasty but extraordinarily effective.

===Chapter [-] The Partner of Justice===

The highly coordinated and frantic attacks of the hound troops made Ling Xingye's defense stretched.

Not only the twelve assassins who fought in close quarters, but also the snipers in the distance did not stop there.

The cooperation between the Hounds far and near was also unexpectedly harmonious, and the assassins just danced unscrupulously in the rain of bullets.

The specially-made sniper bullets tore through Ling Xingye's defense, and then a hound rushed to him, sending out a fierce blow.

The unprepared target reveals a bigger opening, and the rest of the hounds swarm...

That's all their tactics.

It's just that Ling Xingye's tenacity has also greatly exceeded the enemy's expectations.

Although he was indeed hit hard in the first few blows, he did not collapse because of it. Instead, he ignored the wounds on his body and quickly stabilized his defense.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Xingye also moved.

As if he was not injured at all, Ling Xingye instantly burst into action no less than the Hound Assassins.He and the sprites split their heads and rushed to the two sides.

In the smoke, the hound nimbly avoided them and continued to attack.

boom!

A flat thunder exploded in everyone's ears.

Behind Ling Xingye, the monster brazenly broke through the sound barrier!

The shock wave swept across the battlefield, blowing away the smoke and knocking the nearby hound assassins to the ground.

Ling Xingye bent down to avoid the impact of the airflow, and at the same time shook off the silk thread, taking the opportunity to slash at the two hounds beside him.

Ling Xingye's principle is not to kill people.Often, this standard is expanded to include "cannot harm humans."

But this doesn't mean that Ling Xingye can't do something to humans.

In times of real emergency, he doesn't mind a brutal attack—it's just that he won't actually kill the enemy.

Just like now, Ling Xingye would naturally not be polite when facing an enemy who wanted to put him to death.

Now that you have seized the opportunity to fight back, cut off their limbs and deprive them of their fighting ability!

However, the extremely sharp flying blade failed to work...

The combat suit on the enemy has excellent performance, and it even blocks the cutting of the flying blade!

In contrast, the sprite on the other side, after turning on the violent acceleration mode, hit an enemy like a cannonball.

At the same time, its wrist knife can cut through the hound's combat uniform normally.

Ling Xingye knew it clearly: "For the defense against thread cutting, I have seen similar things in Lucun and automatic puppets before."

The enemy is coming prepared!While dealing with the Hound Assassins, Ling Xingye thought about it. He had fought too much in the past two months. As long as he had the heart, it would not be difficult to collect information about his battles.

Soon, Ling Xingye clearly felt the feeling of being severely restrained again - every movement of the enemy was moving towards the most uncomfortable place for him, and the terrain and airflow seemed to be deliberately cooperating with the enemy, hindering his movements .

In Ling Xingye's feeling, it seemed that the whole world was against him.

I was suppressed in terms of intelligence, and the enemy made a targeted tactical layout!

This made Ling Xingye feel very uncomfortable.

What's worse, he didn't know how many back cards the enemy had yet to reveal!

Ling Xingye dodged another round of attacks, but he was still hit, with a long and thin wound on his body.
