Academy City's Puppet Master

Through the implanted communicator, the seven quickly reached an agreement.

Then, they acted suddenly, grabbing the closest person to each other.

"So anxious?" In the basement, Ling Xingye dissatisfied, "The performance has just started, and you are going straight to the finale?"

In fact, the moment the hostages were seized, the mercenaries felt something was wrong.

This feel and texture are not human at all.

One of them used too much force and even strangled the neck of the "hostage" in his hand!

I saw a head rolling off the waiter's neck lightly, and bounced a few times when it fell to the ground.

In the end, the dropped head was face up, staring right at the kidnappers.

At the same time, the falling head seemed to send out a signal.

The background music stopped abruptly, and the whole coffee shop seemed to be frozen, and all "people" stopped all actions.

And, they turned their heads to look at the seven people at the door.

Behind him, the door of the coffee shop was locked with a snap.Including the surrounding windows, metal decks were dropped for reinforced defense.

"Ling Xingye" in the corner stood up, stretched the silk thread between his ten fingers, and strode towards the enemy.

===Chapter 97 Easy Win===

The waiter next to him who was about to be taken hostage suddenly dropped his whole head, bounced twice on the ground, and rolled to the feet of one of them.

Even the well-informed mercenaries who fought their way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood couldn't help being stunned.

Then, the coffee shop suddenly fell into a dead silence, and everyone turned their heads to look at them at the same time—full of the horror of a horror movie.

"Pretending to be a ghost!" One of them shouted, stretching his hands leisurely, and unexpectedly grew a pair of sharp blades out of thin air.

"What are you waiting for, kill!"

After his reminder, the other six people suddenly woke up, entered the battle mode together, and surrounded Ling Xingye.

I saw Ling Xingye spread his ten fingers, propped up the silk thread, and ran a few steps faster.

Then, he suddenly blended into the crowd with a dodge.

For a moment, the seven enemies lost his trace at the same time.

But the reformed mercenaries didn't care so much, they brandished butcher knives and slashed and killed them brazenly!

After transformation, their strength and athletic ability far surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing them to exert superhuman lethality.

It really is like a tiger entering a herd, cutting down opponents one by one like cutting melons and vegetables.

But on the other side, all the clerks and customers in the coffee shop are puppets manipulated by Ling Xingye, and they are even more fearless, rushing towards the enemy one by one.

Since there are a lot of dolls that need to be manipulated, and the most common puppets are used, even if Ling Xingye manipulates them himself, they can't be expected to defeat the enemy.

At first glance, it looks as if it wants to exhaust the enemy with a moth-to-flame suicide charge.

And "Ling Xingye" himself mixed in with the puppets, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Not long after the war started, the enemy discovered the fact that the scene was full of dolls.Knowing that they had been tricked, they were shocked and angry, but they had no choice but to change their plan and take the opportunity to forcefully kill Ling Xingye!

There are many puppets in the coffee shop, but the number is limited after all.In addition, the blade equipped by the enemy is extremely sharp, which can easily damage the doll beyond repair.

Soon, the cafe became empty.

Only the wreckage of dolls all over the floor, silently telling the end of the battle just now... Then what are you waiting for?Why not take the opportunity to celebrate? "

People froze for a moment before realizing it was a coffee shop - a great place to party.

The people present, except for the few people in the flower group, did not reject lively activities.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu's proposal immediately received people's response.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko also invited the disciplinary committee members who came to help to participate.

Later, the security teachers also ran over to join in the fun.

So much so that this unexpected celebration party lasted until late at night.

There are even security teachers who issue certificates to students who return late.

Ling Xingye himself didn't like to participate in such overly lively activities, so in the second half, he walked out of the cafe by himself and took a stroll in the park.

Hitomi Shiranui noticed his movement and followed him.

"Thank you." Hitomi Shiranui said.

"You too, thanks to your help."

"Even if Xingye said so, I wouldn't be happy." Hitomi Shiranui said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, I have to work harder."

Ling Xingye suddenly became serious: "Did you get any information? Are there other enemies?"

"No..." Hitomi Shiranui smiled wryly, "It's not about the enemy, it's about the competition! Our class didn't care about the competition all day today, so we didn't get any decent results at all!"

"If this goes on like this, I'm really going to lose to Misaka Mikoto and the others!" Hitomi Shiranui said seriously.

===Chapter 98 The Latest Urban Legend===

September 9, the fourth day of the Daha Star Festival.

The wide road in the seventh school district was blocked for clearance, and the sidewalks on both sides were crowded with crowds of onlookers.

One of the large-scale competitions "Maze Race" in the afternoon of the fourth day of the high school group is being held here.

The so-called "maze" actually refers to the route that needs to be passed.

Contestants need to follow the prompts given at the start of the race, look for "map fragments" in the competition area, and then complete the entire race route according to the patched map, and check in at each designated location.

The first player to complete the prescribed route wins.

Because it is a large-scale project with many contestants, the number of points that the No.1 winner can get is also very high, a total of [-] points!

Ling Xingye was calculating the points of his school in his mind, while running on the street carelessly.

According to the competition points of the Daha Star Festival, they are already No. 1 in the high school group when they grow up.

It stands to reason that there are many capable people in the Changdian Shangji Academy, so Ling Xingye and the third class of the first grade don't need to work hard.

But the problem is that series of bets.

Although there are several sets of personal bets mixed in, the final analysis is still a duel between two schools.

Changdian Shangji Academy and Tokiwadai Middle School are two of the five famous schools.

At present, Tokiwadai Middle School is also number one in the junior high school group.

This is also a matter of course. In a noble girls' school with all eve3 and above, it is very difficult to lose in this kind of competition that encourages the use of superpowers.

Since the two schools are high school and junior high school respectively, there is no basis for direct comparison.Therefore, the points of both parties need to go through a series of conversions.

According to the conversion formula, Changdian Shangji Academy lagged behind by a large margin.

So Ling Xingye had to desperately earn points.

As a key contestant, Ling Xingye has cameras tracking and filming the entire competition, which is broadcast live on the big screens of the major stadiums.

Of course, professional commentators are also indispensable to stir up the atmosphere.

"Oh!!! Ling Xingye! Ling Xingye from Shangji Academy took the lead again! He accurately found the location of every map fragment! It is foreseeable that he has already secured the victory in advance, and will even break the record of this project !"

The passionate voice of the commentator echoed in the stadium.

"Including the morning relay race, men's obstacle course and other events, Ling Xingye single-handedly scored nearly [-] points!" said the commentator partner, "He has been running all day today."

"Sure enough, student Ling Xingye's physical strength is very good, is it because of his ability?"

"No, according to the public information, student Ling Xingye's ability is the fulcrum of phase, and it has no effect of strengthening endurance."

"Huh? I heard that his ability is controlled by a puppet." The narrator said in surprise, "It seems that his physical strength is very good."

"He must have cheated with his ability!" Misaka Mikoto stared at the big screen, "With his ability, he won't be tired even if he runs for a whole day?"

"Well, it's the Daba Star Festival after all, isn't it normal to use abilities?" Shirai Heizi rarely defended Ling Xingye, because her abilities are more advantageous in running competitions.

At this time, Misaka Mikoto's five-member team and Shokuhou Misaki were crowded in the auditorium of the stadium, watching the match live.

"That's not the problem!" Misaka Mikoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki beside him, "You should have noticed, right? Starry Night, he found the map fragments really fast!"

"It's not surprising." Shokuhou Misaki said, "With memory construction, coupled with the ability of spiritual dialogue, it's easy for him to get a standard answer."

"Cheating is also one of the traditions." Chuchun Shili continued.

"Wow, how much those high school seniors want to beat us!" Misaka Mikoto said.

While speaking, Ling Xingye had already crossed the finish line first.

After confirmation by the referee team, the result is valid!

There were deafening cheers at the scene.

The gymnasium where they are located is the starting point and the end point of the competition. Half of the auditorium is occupied by Nagatoka Machine Academy, almost becoming its home field.

I saw the students from Class [-] cheering and running towards Ling Xingye, Shiranui Hitomi stepped forward to hand him a drink, and wiped his sweat with a towel.

"Now they have more points than us," said Misaka Mikoto.

Shokuhou Misaki stared closely at Hitomi Shiranui below, and said full of resentment: "If it wasn't for this woman, or if it wasn't for the disguised brain."

"As expected of Master Xingye!" Saten Leizi, who had nothing to do with the bet, simply admired, "Both managing the gang and preparing puppet performances, fighting against the enemy yesterday, and winning the championship today, really energetic!"

"Nice job!" Lily praised Ling Xingye without hesitation, "This time we are sure to win!"

Ling Xingye is undoubtedly the star of the day, and before he could respond, he was caught by the boys of the same grade and thrown into the sky together.

Some of them used their abilities to throw Ling Xingye very high, and they didn't stop until they were warned by the referee teacher.

Back in the group of his class, Ling Xingye finally let out a long sigh of relief: "The points have caught up, so I can finally rest now?"

Yise Qianhui came over: "Of course, Master Xingye, are you here today as a customer or as a waiter?"
