Academy City's Puppet Master

"As expected of a professional, you can really prescribe the right medicine." Ling Xingye suddenly relaxed and sighed, "But the only mistake you made was——you took this action without telling Lu Cun?"

"Do you really think it would be useful to threaten me with a hostage?" Ling Xingye shook his head, "You never thought about why Lu Cun and the others haven't used this method after such a long time?"

Kumiko frowned: "Who knows... Maybe it's because this is Academy City?"

Ling Xingye said again: "Ask you the other way around, you should know that I am a puppet master, right? Why do you think I am chatting with you here?"

Only then did Kumiko Yanaka notice that the tall puppet was not following Ling Xingye!

At the same time, outside the apartment building where Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng lived, she had been standing in the shadow of the corner, and the sprites covered by the large windbreaker suddenly moved.

It came to a fire hydrant on the side of the road, and suddenly kicked up and broke the entire fire hydrant.

In an instant, a snow-white water column soared into the sky, sprayed to a height of 30 meters, and then spread and fell in all directions.

There seemed to be a torrential downpour near the street.

Pedestrians passing by had no time to criticize the destructive behavior of the sprites, so they hurriedly ran around to "hide from the rain".

The sprites are bathed in the "rainwater" all over the sky, and they lift their feet to step on the water column to change the direction of the water column.

"What's wrong?" Kanzaki in the room sensed the commotion outside, and came to the window, "Why is it raining suddenly?"

"Huh? No way? The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today." Yueyong Xiaomeng responded, "Could it be something wrong? Impossible? Our weather forecasts are always accurate to the minute."

Suddenly, a jet of water hit the window, rattling the glass and almost shattering it!

"Someone is deliberately attacking!" Kanzaki Kaori picked up the long knife and was about to rush out.

But Hitomi Shiranui stopped him in time: "Wait, that's the puppet of Xingye."

"What is that guy doing?" Steele complained.This sudden "rainfall" washed away many rune cards he had placed outside.

Although Stiyl had fully waterproofed all the rune cards, after being washed by the turbulent water, it was difficult for the fluffy cards to stay in their original positions.This will undoubtedly have a big impact on the magic he has prepared.

Outside the house, countless dust-like gunpowder particles floating in the air were absorbed and then settled under the washing of "rainwater", and fell to the ground with the raindrops.

A little farther away from the apartment building, in a place not washed by the extra care of the water flow, an explosion suddenly occurred out of thin air. The flames and thunderous bangs exploded without warning, as if the air had suddenly exploded.

The air was burning, spreading rapidly to the perimeter, and was quickly contained close to the apartment building.Only the shock wave from the explosion continued to spread, shattering the glass of the window.

Kanzaki was prepared and blocked the shards of glass, but he and Hitomi Shiranui, who were close to the window, were still drenched by the water outside.

"Did someone use the flame spell?" Stiyl rushed up and jumped out of the window, "Hey, puppeteer, where is the enemy?"

He rushed to the monster and asked loudly.

Sprites didn't answer, and just left the scene quickly in a posture that almost slid on the ground.

Stiyl didn't have time to stop him, and he didn't dare to leave the apartment too far, so he could only turn his head angrily.

By the river, Ling Xingye was also fleeing in a panic, avoiding Kumiko's continuous bomb attacks.

For such an enemy who is resolutely unwilling to fight melee, the puppet master without a puppet by his side is very troublesome.

Ling Xingye's only weapon at this time was the "flying blade", but Kumiko was always able to use the storm created by the explosion to blow away and disturb the silk thread.

Moreover, most of Ling Xingye's "squares" and computing power were used to manipulate sprites at this time, so now he was extremely passive in the face of the enemy's aggressive offensive.

Just when Ling Xingye was almost forced to jump into the river to escape, the sprite finally arrived!

Puppets are not afraid of explosions.Ling Xingye's energy was lifted, and he was about to launch a counterattack.

But Kumiko stopped suddenly.

The blond-haired mercenary held six gunpowder between his fingers, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Actually... Brother Xingye, you don't have that so-called original book at all, do you?"

Ling Xingye couldn't help but pause when he heard the words.

Taking advantage of this gap, Kumiko dropped the gunpowder, and her figure disappeared amidst the flames and the roar.

===Chapter 48 Automatic Bookkeeper===

Under the cover of explosives, Kumiko Yanaka disappeared.

Ling Xingye had also joined the sprites, and looked around, but found no trace of the enemy.

"This crazy woman really acted alone!" He couldn't do anything about it, and he couldn't grasp the enemy's thoughts at all.

After a short fight, there were explosions and flames on the bank of the river, which had already caused the alarm.

Ling Xingye hurriedly left here before he came over, turned around and headed back to Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng's house.

The commotion over there should not be small now, after all, there are also incidents such as explosions and collapse of fire hydrants.

Take Shiranui Hitomi and Misaka Mikoto and leave before the guards and discipline committee members arrive!

Ling Xingye's principle is to minimize troubles. Although he has Aleister Crowley, the chairman of the Academy City General Council, as his "backstage", that guy is not completely trustworthy, so Ling Xingye has been instinctively Reduce contact with him.

Outside the rented apartment, Stiyl patrolled and guarded outside the house for a while, but found nothing more, so he quickly returned to the house.

The owner of the apartment, Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng, was already in a state of brain shutdown, because she couldn't understand what happened one after another, and seemed a little sluggish.The others in the room also seemed to treat her like a little girl, and never cared too much about her feelings.

"How is it? Are there any traces of the enemy?" Kanzaki asked Stiyl, who came in from the door, and turned back to Yueyong Xiaomeng, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble, we will be responsible for making up for it."

"That guy just ran away! No more discoveries." Stiyl shook his head, "There are no other traces of magic around."

Regardless of the wet clothes on her body, Hitomi Shiranui still stood by the window and looked outside.
