Academy City's Puppet Master

So Ling Xingye had no choice but to continue to maintain his original attitude—try not to get involved in these troublesome matters.

"What's more, I also have a lot of troubles on my hands right now, and I really don't have time to distract you to help you." Ling Xingye said after deliberation.

Ling Chanjuan stared at him with some dissatisfaction for a while, then drank all the tea in the cup in one go.

"Okay, anyway, I've already guessed the reaction of the younger brother..." She stood up, "Then, I won't bother you."

"I'll see you off." Ling Xingye then stood up.

"Ah, no need, junior brother, you can stay and spend time with your girlfriend." Ling Chanjuan said with a smile.

Ling Xingye followed all the way to the door: "It's better to be careful, the night in Academy City is not so safe..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw that Ling Chanjuan had pushed open the door, and there were two tall and mighty figures standing outside the door.

Ling Chanjuan looked at Ling Xingye showing off: "You don't really think that Senior Sister and I came here alone?"

"Puppet..." Ling Xingye saw the essence of the two people outside the door at a glance.

"How can I say that I have practiced and studied with my father since I was a child, but it's not like that woman is powerless."

Ling Chanjuan patted the two puppets, and the ten fingertips were already connected with silk threads.

The puppet on the left knelt down on one knee, and Ling Chanjuan stepped forward and sat on its shoulder.

"Then, bye." Ling Chanjuan waved her hand and manipulated the two puppets to jump down from the seventh floor.

Ling Xingye and the others lay on the railing and looked down, only to see the tall puppet carrying the girl a few leaps and quickly disappearing from their sight.

"It feels like a troublesome character has come." Misaka Mikoto said with emotion from the bottom of her heart.

"Yeah," Ling Xingye also said, "Things have become troublesome."

"So, are you serious about refusing her invitation?" Misaka Mikoto asked again.

"Of course." Ling Xingye nodded, "There will indeed be more troublesome things in the future..."

An hour ago, he issued an ultimatum to the real "high level" through the "messenger".

When his warning spreads, it will inevitably cause violent turmoil in the underground world of Academy City.

Those real criminal organizations hidden among armed groups of incompetents, subordinate organizations affiliated to various secret departments or some high-level private soldiers, those research institutions that use armed groups of incompetents to deal with "waste" or even conduct dangerous experiments...

Their long-standing "convenience" will all disappear because of Ling Xingye's decision.

A war is inevitable.

Previously, Ling Xingye had been reluctant to formally become the leader because he didn't want to make things worse.

"Taking the time to rest now." He said to himself, then looked at Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001, "I'll take you back."

Misaka Mikoto patted him on the shoulder carelessly: "Don't sigh, just tell me if you have any troubles. You have helped us so much, if necessary, my sister and I will help you. After all, I am also level5 what!"

While speaking, she flashed lightning and said to herself: "Also, it seems very interesting..."

At the same time, in a luxury suite on the top floor of a certain hotel, several people from Anbu's "school" were having a meeting.

It is said to be a "meeting", but it is actually more like a chat at a tea party after dinner.

In other words, they just unilaterally obeyed the orders and arrangements of one of them.

Kakine Teito, the leader of Anbu's "school", is also the second-ranked esper in Academy City, level 5 "Weiyuan Matter".

From the most intuitive understanding, Kakine Teitoku is the strongest in Academy City except for Accelerator.

Anbu's "school" is naturally dominated by him.

"The reputation is high, what is the result of the investigation?"

The person who was asked was a man wearing a strange ring device. More than a dozen wires protruded from the ring like octopus tentacles, and were inserted into various instruments or screens around him.

"According to the monitoring, the keyword 'tweezers' was locked, and 92 suspicious targets were screened out." Yu Wanghua said, "If we want to investigate one by one, our time and manpower are seriously insufficient."

"Because of the announcement from the new 'leader'?" said a girl who was sitting on a chair by the window and drinking tea elegantly. "Not only us, but many of the original affiliated organizations of the other companies are also not working."

"Do you want to teach him a lesson?" Yu Wanghua suggested.

The girl wearing a gorgeous dress, Jako Saimi said: "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? You who are in charge of intelligence collection work, don't you know the power of 'puppet manipulation'? And he also involves Baiyin and Yan Master two mysterious organizations, are you sure you can teach him a lesson?"

Kakine Teito snorted coldly: "It's not a problem to defeat Ling Xingye, but now I don't have time to waste time on these insignificant things."

"Finding the hidden secrets of Academy City, improving my strength, and surpassing Accelerator is the most important thing!"

Kakine Teitoku stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the night view of the city below.But I couldn't help recalling the scenes I saw in the September 9rd incident in my mind.

"Fuse Wind Slash"—that night, a certain existence was suddenly born in Academy City.

"Science Angel" - As "Weiyuan Matter", Kakine Teito immediately discovered this thing that shouldn't exist.

At the same time, he also saw the direction of his own evolution.

——Having mastered that, he can surpass Accelerator and become the real "strongest"!

And "that existence" is undoubtedly the deepest secret hidden in Academy City.

In order to obtain that secret, Kakine Teitoku needs "tweezers"...

In the middle of the night, I sent off my new friends, Flander and Saten Saten, who had a hearty meal and were almost reluctant to leave, and returned to their apartment.

After passing the mailbox downstairs, she found that the package she bought online had been delivered.

After returning home, after unpacking the package, she specially took photos to show Chuchun Shili.

"Look, my 'tweezers' have arrived!"

===Chapter 36 Attacked===

On September 9th, the second day after the Daihasei Festival officially started, everything in Academy City has returned to normal.

...at least on the surface.

But in fact, only a very small number of residents who are active in the underground world and the dark world are keenly aware of an aura that is about to come.

But no matter how you look at it, Ruiko Saten, an ordinary first-year student at Sagawa Middle School, has nothing to do with her.

Saten Ruiko went to school, had lunch, and left school as usual today.

Her good friend Chuchun Shili is still busy with the work of the disciplinary committee, and Shirai Kuroko is also not free to hang out for the same reason.

As for Misaka Mikoto, she is not a disciplinary committee member, but she seems to be busy with other things these two days - after all, she is level 5...

"So..." Saten Leiko walked alone on the street, and couldn't help sighing, "It turned out that I was the only one left behind! If I knew it, I would have gone shopping with Minmei and the others..."

She looked at her mobile phone, fiddled with the list in the contact book, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Frenda, maybe she's free!" Saten Saten cheered, "Just tell her to treat her to canned mackerel, and she will definitely come!"

The girl quickened her pace excitedly, heading to a nearby supermarket while editing emails.But he didn't notice the petite girl standing in front of the window of a shop that he passed just now.

Frenda lowered her beret and silently put her phone on silent mode.

"Please, what kind of image do I have in your mind..." Frenda couldn't help but whispered, "Do you think I'm fishing?"

Flanda is one of the core members of Anbu's "Props", and she is very conscious of herself and the uniqueness of this job.

So she didn't want to have too much involvement with Saten Ruiko, an ordinary student.

Originally, she and Saten Ruiko only met because of a can of mackerel.

As for yesterday's dinner, it was really Saten Ruiko's unilateral kind invitation... and the mackerel feast was really delicious.

"Sorry, it's better for us to keep our distance from now on..." Frenda apologized slightly from the bottom of her heart.

But it was immediately discovered that there were several men who clearly showed the aura of "Anbe" approaching Saten Ruiko quietly.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but they really surrounded Saten Ruiko.

In the current situation where Anbu's manpower is very tight, no one should simply want to kidnap a female student, right?

Frenda hurried to catch up, but only had time to see them stun Saten Ruiko with a stun gun and drag her into the van.

The opponents were obviously veterans, and the series of actions were so smooth that they didn't even alarm the passers-by nearby.

Frenda didn't have so many worries, she directly pulled out two rockets, aimed at the van in front and launched them.

Because her rocket shape is very similar to ordinary toy fireworks, it did not attract the special attention of passers-by.

But their power is not at the level of ordinary "fireworks".

Only two bangs were heard, and the heavy vehicle was almost overturned!

The loud noise produced by the explosion was like a thunderclap on the ground, which scared passers-by nearby to scream and leave here covering their ears.

As for those Anbu members who were at the center of the explosion, they fainted because of the sudden strong shock.

"Is it really too close?" Frenda herself covered her ears in shock, and the windows of several nearby shops were shattered!

This is her special shock bomb, which is a kind of non-lethal bomb.

Since Saten Ruiko has already fainted, there is no need to worry about accidental injury.

Clutching a few mini-bombs, Frenda approaches the van.

As expected, the members of Anbu were all stunned. They should be just members of a subordinate organization of Anbu. None of them have high abilities, so they are the best type to deal with.

Frenda rescued Saten Ruiko easily.

Five minutes later, the two were walking on another street a few kilometers away from the scene of the incident.

"I still can't figure out why I was targeted..." Saten Leizi frowned, thinking hard, "And Xingye is my master, how could the group of armed incompetents come to kidnap me?"

"Oh, maybe it's his opponent." Frenda speculated.

"By the way, why didn't you let me call the police just now?" Saten Renko asked. When she was awakened, Flander urged her to leave the scene without saying a word, not giving her a chance to call the police.

"The security forces have nothing to do with those guys." Frenda waved her hand, "It's useless to call the police."

Saten Leizi tilted her head and thought for a while: "Then let me tell Master Xingye."

"Hehe, maybe it's that guy's fault!" Frenda sneered, "Because of his report, that guy Hamazura Shiage is disobedient..."

"Huh? Frenda, what are you talking about..." Saten Ruiko asked.

Turning around, she saw the scene of bleeding blooming on Frenda's chest.
