Academy City's Puppet Master

"His evaluation is really high, you really like Xingye..."

The flames dissipated, and Ling Xingye saw Kumiko fall down close to the ground, while Lu Cun supported the flying blade with his steel body.

However, due to the lack of hands, two flying blades still hurt Kumiko.

Kumiko carefully avoided the invisible thread, but instead of running away, she cut the two bombs open with the help of a flying blade and poured out the black powder inside.

I don't know what method she used, but the black powder directly outlined a magic circle on the ground.

"Wait," Lu Cun saw the movement of the woman below him, regardless of the body being cut by the flying blade, "Are you going to use that magic?"

"Of course," Kumiko nodded and said, "The current situation is obviously at our disadvantage, right? It's better to retreat temporarily before we have no way to deal with the invisible thread."

"I didn't lose!" Lu Cun shouted, "If you want to go, you go!"

"Lu Cun, you really like to be brave..."

At this moment, the monster had already kicked over the wall next to it, then lifted a broken wall, and threw it viciously towards the two people on the opposite side.

"It's not good!" Kumiko yelled without any sense of tension, and then snapped her fingers, the magic circle made of black powder instantly ignited, bright flames rose, and then exploded!

The ground, which had been repeatedly ravaged by explosions and flames, cracked again, sending debris and dust flying.

After the smoke cleared, Kumiko and Lu Cun had disappeared... leaving only a few fragments from Lu Cun's body.

Ling Xingye looked up at the sky subconsciously—the woman's magic circle just now, couldn't use the method of "blowing people up to the sky" to complete the teleportation, right?

After being stunned for a moment, Ling Xingye finally confirmed that the enemy had really retreated.

He looked back at the abandoned office building behind him—hitting for a long time, destroyed half of the roads in normal use, but did not cause any damage to the abandoned building.

"This battlefield is really a waste of choice." Ling Xingye murmured, "And, let the enemy escape..."

Tonight's battle, no matter from which angle you look at it, is a failure.

This time, Ling Xingye stuck a positioning cube on Lu Cun's body.

But at this moment he did not catch up.

Looking at the shirt on his body that was almost completely stained red with blood, Ling Xingye smiled wryly.

"Oops...I can't feel the pain anymore..." Ten fingers twitched, but found that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.

The wound was not deep, and the scab had begun to close, but first aid treatment was still needed—at least to remove the hexagonal fragments embedded in the wound.

A minor surgical operation was required.

"First aid kit..." Ling Xingye looked at the building in the distance, where the wreckage of his two travel bags was there, "It has been destroyed, it seems that we can only go home and deal with it."

Ling Xingye swayed and fell backwards.

===Chapter 31 Rescuer===

Ling Xingye's eyes darkened, and he fell backward involuntarily.

Sprites rushed behind in time and hugged their master firmly.

"Fortunately, it's just that the body is out of control." Ling Xingye was thankful that his brain was still awake.

As long as his brain stays awake, his sprites will not fall down.So no matter when, he will not easily let himself fall into a coma.

Ling Xingye manipulated the monsters to simply collect the broken arms and fragments that Lu Cun had left behind.Then hurried to the residence.

As for the severely damaged road surface and other traces of battle, let Aleister handle it.

I believe he has been paying attention to things here.

"Do you want to add some soft materials to the sprites?" Ling Xingye, who was panicked along the way, still complained,

After all, the sprite is a puppet dedicated to fighting, so its embrace will definitely not be so comfortable.

What Ling Xingye was worried about was that after returning home after such a bumpy journey, he might not have the energy to deal with his injuries.

He is considering whether to go straight to the hospital.

For various reasons, Ling Xingye did not trust the hospital in Academy City, so under normal circumstances, he would not go to the hospital easily.

Even now that the situation has deteriorated to the point of almost fainting, Ling Xingye still insists on letting the sprites take him home.

"Big deal... Let Hitomi come and save me tomorrow morning. I remember giving her the apartment key."

At the door of the new house, Ling Xingye used a silk thread to pull out the key from his pocket.Next, the nimble fingers of sprites are enough to complete such delicate work as unlocking.

After three years, Ling Xingye has completely regarded the sprite as his other body, like his arms and fingers.

The room was dark, but it made Ling Xingye feel at ease - returning home means safety...

He didn't bother to turn on the light.

Because of the severe blood loss, his eyes could hardly see clearly.So there is no need to turn on the lights.

"Xingye, you are back." A strange voice sounded in the room.

As if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, Ling Xingye's whole body was electrocuted, and his nerves tensed instantly.But at the moment his body couldn't do anything at all.

And what's worse, because the sprites are holding themselves with both hands, they can't fight!

"Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions..." The voice sounded again.
