Academy City's Puppet Master

September 9st, the third day of the Daha Star Festival.

The hot sports meeting will continue, and all competitions will be carried out as usual, and everything is advancing in an orderly manner.

...at least on the surface.

Class [-], Grade [-], Changdian Shangji Academy High School was no exception. They participated in all the registered projects as usual throughout the day, and were not affected by the bomb incident last night in the slightest.

Even after school today, the maid cafe will open as usual.

Although last night after calling the police, the security teacher, discipline committee, school security department and other major organizations took turns to investigate, asking every student about every detail of the bomb incident, making the atmosphere extremely tense.

Affected by this, the students in the third class are also unwilling to compete, so that the results of today's competitions are not satisfactory...

However, despite the efforts of Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui, the coffee shop continued to open today.

The reason is that in order to avoid scaring the snake, it is necessary to maintain the original law of action as much as possible, and to lure the snake out of the hole...

For the first time, Ling Xingye directly participated in the negotiations as the captain of the "Law Enforcement Team" and insisted on advancing his plan.

For this reason, Hitomi Shiranui was almost forced to "convince" the teachers of the school and the security forces.

In the evening, the game of the day came to an end.

The colorful night is coming again.

The city park where the maid cafe is located is also bustling again.

But tonight, there were many more guards patrolling the nearby streets, and the frequency of barrel-shaped robots also increased several times.

At the main entrances to the park, there are also disciplinary committee members wearing armbands on duty, checking the pedestrians and tourists coming and going.

The [-]th Branch where Gufa Meiwei is located is among them.

Rather, they were able to gather such a large number of disciplinary committee members to help after school, and they were the companions that their No. [-] Branch came forward to ask.

Liu Jibimei, Gufa Meiwei's classmate and roommate, is also a member of the Disciplinary Committee, and rarely wears armbands to participate in duty together.

"It's really rare that our Disciplinary Committee actually helps to arm the leader of the group of incompetent people..." Liu forced Bimei to say to her companions, "Meiwei, could it be your black wife who asked me, that's why I'm so caring right?"

"What are you talking about!" Gu Fa Meiwei's face turned red, "We are helping the leader to point out the students of the Computer Academy, and Ling Xingye's law enforcement team is currently our cooperative organization..."

"Well..." Liu forced Bimei to change the subject with a smile, "But that guy is really bold. In order to catch the saboteurs, he didn't hesitate to use the whole class as bait."

Gufa Meiwei frowned, looked around, saw no one around, then approached his friend's ear, and said softly: "He is not that kind of person, you should have read the information, right? Ling Xingye...he is operated by a puppet !"

"Huh? No way!" Liu Shibimei looked in surprise at the coffee shop in the distance, where there were many people and it was very lively, "Those are all...?"

"Okay, let's work with peace of mind," Gufa Meiwei coughed, and patted his friend's shoulder lightly, "Someone is here again, the old rules—you go ask, and I'll take the opportunity to check."

Gufa Meiwei's ability is level 3 "perspective", comparable to a humanoid X-ray machine.

There are many things that modern testing instruments cannot detect, but her ability can easily see through them.

Just like the last seven reformers who sneaked into the park amidst the crowd.

The bomb incident happened only yesterday, and it was expected that the security around the park would be strengthened at this time.

So they were not carrying any prohibited items.Moreover, they did not use any metal materials when they were transformed, and coupled with the anti-scanning characteristics of the simulated skin, they fooled the various detectors and barrel-shaped robots on the periphery.

Until they came to Gufa Meiwei.

Gufa Meiwei remained calm, and after inquiring with his companions, he let them in.

Afterwards, Ling Xingye was notified on the phone immediately.

"Is that all right?" Liu forced Bimei to ask.

"Yes, according to Ling Xingye's judgment, there are only seven militants left in the end." Gufa Meiwei looked at the direction the target left, "The next thing we have to do is to block the entrance and prevent irrelevant people from entering the park. "

"Then what should we do with those who have already entered? Are we going to persuade them to leave?"

"No need," Gufa Meiwei shook his head, "Xingye said they have a way..."

Before the words fell, I heard the sound broadcast system in the park suddenly switch songs.

A melodious and graceful female solo came from the stereo.

The singing voice is woven in some unknown language, or it is simply a meaningless combination of syllables.But it was unexpectedly contagious, causing Liu Jibimei to suddenly become homesick, and she had the urge to turn around and go home.

Fortunately, she still remembered the work and responsibilities of her disciplinary committee member, and immediately sobered up.

"This song is..."

"This is..." At the same moment, Amakusa Shiki who was ambushing in the park suddenly looked at each other in dismay.

Jian Gongzhai said with some uncertainty: "Magic... expels idlers?"

===Chapter 96 Starry Night Reinforcements===

"This is Yakushiji Mixi's song, and it's also her ability." Gufa Meiwei explained, "'Hypnotic Sound' can bring strong hints to people."

Liu forced Bimei to come to a sudden: "So that's how it is. It's worthy of being a senior computer school, with so many useful abilities."

At the same time, Motoharu Tsuchimikado, who sneaked into the park as a passer-by, acted together with the Amakusa-style people, and was also popularizing science with the people around him.

"Well, although the effect looks similar to driving out idlers, it is a real superpower, and it is a high-level ability of level 3." Motoharu Tsuchimikado pushed his sunglasses, "Of course, for those of us who have already prepared For humans, it doesn’t work.”

Meanwhile, another corner of the park.

"Huh? This singing voice..." Misaka Mikoto's bangs flashed a flash of lightning, "It's Yakushiji-senpai's ability!"

She immediately noticed that the nearby passers-by and tourists gradually dispersed after hearing the singing.

"It's starting to clear the field." Misaka Mikoto's eyes flashed eagerly, "It means the enemy has come!"

"Onee-sama, please exercise restraint! The master said that he will personally deal with the enemy this time, and our task is to prevent anyone from escaping. Misaka advises onee-sama."

Misaka 10001 was by her side like a twin sister, holding on to her elder sister's wrist to keep her from messing around.

"Tsk," Misaka Mikoto gasped in displeasure, "Let's not use our powerful combat power, what on earth does Xingye want to do? Why did he call us here!"

"Onee-sama, the master didn't ask us to come here; in fact, he banned everyone except the law enforcement team from entering the park area. Misaka complained helplessly, and reminded that it was my sister who strongly asked to come and help."

"Is...is that so? Haha..." Misaka Mikoto choked up suddenly, and talked about him from left to right, "Speaking of...speaking of it, we are not the only ones who came here without permission."

"Yes, Miss Hana is here too. Misaka agreed."

Not far from them, you can see Fake Flower 21 and several other members of the flower group, as well as a man playing on the lawn of the park with a huge cross-shaped musical instrument.

False Flower 21—that is, the commander of the flower who is now resident in Academy City suddenly stopped, raised his hand and knocked on the artificial eye.

"The target appeared, and I can feel their breath."

"Do you need us to take action?" Hua 72 eagerly asked.

In this operation, because of the large number of people, they brought enough "thousand-petal lotus", so they don't have to worry about the dilemma of "not enough petals" anymore!

"No," unexpectedly, Commander Hua shook his head and rejected her proposal, "Let's see how Ling Xingye will deal with it first."

On a small road closest to the coffee shop, the men of the law enforcement team came to report to Ikki Kurogane.

"The target has appeared, but there are still many irrelevant people in the park. Do you want to send brothers to clear the place?"

Kurotetsu Kazuki looked around, and immediately recognized Amakusa-style Jiangong Saizi and the others.

"Clear the place!" He patted his subordinates on the head casually, "The rest are the boss's reinforcements, send someone to notify them, don't conflict with them!"

Thanks to the large number of people staying in the park, the remnants of the reformed mercenaries who "sneaked" into it didn't notice anything unusual.

I thought I was going seamlessly to the coffee shop.

After numerous inspections, of course they did not have any weapons and equipment on them.

But as cyborgs, their own bodies are the most powerful weapons!

Seeing customers coming in and out at the entrance of the coffee shop, the reformed mercenaries looked at each other, felt relieved, and filed in.

"All the actors enter the stage," Ling Xingye suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at the girls around him, "Start the show!"

Saten Saten's face was pale, and she manipulated nervously.

Yakushiji Miyu hummed another song instead.

Isshiki Qianhui glanced at him, and she seemed to be transformed into more than a dozen people in an instant, and various tones came out of her mouth.

At this time, the few of them were not in the coffee shop, but in a basement below the coffee shop.

The large-scale live sitcom above the head is being carried out by remote control.

Saten Ruiko manipulates the "heroine" above - the foreman Isshiki Chihui.

Ling Xingye alone controls all the other roles, including classmate waiters and customers.

Chihiro Isshiki voiced for everyone.

Such an arrangement is naturally impossible to cover everything, but there is also Yakushi Tera Miyu's "song" to blur the enemy's attention as much as possible to avoid being seen by them.

……

The seven reformed mercenaries entered the coffee shop, and were immediately enveloped by the bustling and lively atmosphere in the shop.

"Welcome!" The two waiters at the door warmly greeted them, "May I ask if the seven are together?"

The rich aroma of coffee and warm music filled their senses.

The cyborg mercenaries ignored the waiter, the overly peaceful and normal scene in front of them made them feel abnormal instinctively.

Even though he was threatened with a bomb yesterday, no matter how big his heart is, it's impossible to be so indifferent, right?

The leader of them looked around and saw Ling Xingye sitting in the corner.

The latter was flipping through a book, but his attention had clearly focused on the few of them at the door.

"As expected, there is an ambush!" He shouted.

The other six people under his command immediately took action, knocking over the tray of the passing maid waiter, and the coffee cup fell to the ground, making a crisp and piercing sound.

The noisy shop fell silent, and the maid next to her exclaimed.

Several male deacons looked over with unkind expressions, as if they wanted to accuse them.

All the reactions were so natural, which immediately dispelled their doubts.

——Take hostages and forcefully kill Ling Xingye!
