Academy City's Puppet Master

===Chapter [-] Silver Mist and Suspected Liquid===

The flames were raging, and the two human-shaped fire pillars failed to last for too long. They turned into ashes and fell to the ground in just a dozen seconds.

Yan Ji walked slowly, stepping on it, as if she just did a trivial thing, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Ling Changyun just glanced at the ashes on the ground: "Come?"

"Hope I'm not late."

"It's not too late." Ling Changyun said.

Although the puppet masters of the Ling family class are not bound by the iron law of silver, in fact they will not attack ordinary humans casually.

Ling Changyun took Yan Ji, an automatic puppet, as his partner in order to kill all the blind humans for him.

"Did you encounter any trouble on the way here?" Ling Changyun continued to ask.

"Of course not, have you forgotten? My level is higher than theirs. Unless Yanshi comes out, no automatic puppets will dare to trouble me."

"I don't mean them." Ling Changyun shook his head.

"Oh, the puppet masters are busy destroying the automatic puppets, and they don't have time to trouble me." Yan Ji shrugged.

"Let me ask you," Ling Changyun looked at the people who were looking out through the window, "are there any restrictions imposed on these automatic puppets?"

"There is no such thing, what's the matter?" Yan Ji walked to his side, her face full of doubts.

"It's right in front of you, but they didn't attack these people..."

"Is there... anyone here?" Yan Ji asked in confusion, "In this room?"

Ling Changyun looked at Yan Ji in surprise, and found that the expression on her face did not seem to be fake: "It's just behind this window, didn't you see it?"

Yan Ji also looked into Ling Changyun's eyes, and realized that the master was not joking with her, so Liu Mei frowned slightly.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, raised her right hand, and cut open her index finger with a nail, a drop of mercury-like thick liquid oozed from the wound.

The vital "blood" of the automatic puppet - "suspected liquid".

Yan Ji Qu Zhi ejected this drop of "suspected liquid", flew into the air, and the high temperature rose, evaporating it into a wisp of silver mist.

As if the surface of the water was being turbulent, waves suddenly appeared in the originally empty air.

Crackling, crackling, a series of small electric discharges in the air out of thin air, and a cloud of fragmented sparks.

Yan Ji's eyes brightened: "So that's how it is..."

Although he didn't know what Yan Ji saw, Ling Changyun also had the answer in his heart.

"Is it just that the automatic puppet can't see it?"

"That's right, targeting our automatic puppets... no? To be precise? It's intelligence suppression targeting suspected liquids—using the blood of silver."

Ling Changyun understood clearly, nodded and said, "It's the 'Illusion of Fog'."

"Master's junior sister?"

"No? It wasn't her? At least it wasn't her at first. She didn't have time." Ling Changyun said.

"Hua 21 is not here, who else has this level of illusion?" Yan Ji asked.

"There is another person? And as far as I know, he is in this city." Ling Changyun turned his head and looked towards the middle of the road ahead,

"'The Mage of Silver Mist'!" Yan Ji immediately thought.

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road that was empty just now.

Lu Cun was sitting on a high-backed chair, watching them.

"It really is you," Ling Changyun looked over, "It seems that everyone underestimated your strength."

"You are too much." Lu Cun sat on the chair and bowed slightly.

"Hiding so deeply? What on earth are you trying to do?"

Lu Cun said with a smile: "Same as you? We are all changemakers seeking breakthroughs."

"Sweet words." Ling Changyun obviously didn't believe it, and manipulated Yunji to swing a palm.

The palm wind blows, and Lu Cun and his high-back chair on the opposite side are scattered with the wind-it turns out to be just a phantom projection.

"Heh, you are indeed the 'Magician of Silver Mist'." Ling Changyun praised.

Now that he knew that Lu Cun and Yu Wufei had managed to protect ordinary citizens, Ling Changyun was even more unscrupulous? Ignoring those people hiding indoors, he led Yan Ji to the No. 13 school district.

They came all the way to the tallest building in the school district—a hotel of a certain internationally renowned brand? They settled in as a temporary base.

On the top floor of the hotel, as soon as Ling Changyun sat down, he saw an explosion erupting outside.

As Academy City's combat power was assembled, it was thrown into the battlefield? The battle in the No.13 school district suddenly intensified? And it quickly entered a tragic white-hot stage.

Surely there was "civil strife" on the side of the mercenary army? The human soldiers were almost wiped out by the automatic puppets.

However, the automatic puppets that occupied more than half of the school district also produced a large number of mechanical puppets as cannon fodder, and instead had an absolute advantage in number.

The troops sent in to "recover the lost ground" were quickly defeated, and became the bait of the automatic puppets, drained of blood and died.

Ling Changyun suddenly remembered the scene he saw on the street just now—the ground was full of corpses and severed limbs, but it didn't give people a "bloody" feeling.

At that time, I felt that something was wrong, and now I finally realized it.

—no blood!

Although the corpses were strewn all over the field, they looked extremely "clean".

Because all the blood was sucked dry by the automatic puppets.

Yan Ji also stood aside overlooking the ground, inadvertently stuck out her red tongue, and licked her lips.

"Are you hungry too?"

"Of course not," Yan Ji said hastily, "Unlike those low-level puppets, our high-level automatic puppets have no desire for blood, and don't need to suck blood."

"Well, I thought human blood was a necessity for you." Ling Changyun said.

"That makes sense." Yan Ji didn't care about revealing the secret of the automatic puppet, "If the damage is serious, I also need blood to help repair myself. But usually, I don't need blood."

As she spoke, she stretched out a finger: "In other words, the automatic puppet only needs blood in one case—that is when it creates a 'suspected liquid'."

"Just like the human blood supply system, under normal circumstances we can recover a small amount of suspected fluid, but when a large amount of 'blood loss' is required, or when a large amount of suspected fluid is needed to repair the body, it is not enough to rely on its own output. At that time, we must obtain A large amount of blood, used to make a suspected liquid."

"Of course, there is another situation," Yan Ji continued, "that is 'reproduction'-to produce new automatic puppets, enough suspected liquid must be injected. Otherwise, it will only be a mechanical body."

She looked down at the ground: "This time they get a lot of blood, I'm afraid there will be many newborn automatic puppets?"

Ling Changyun finally asked a question: "You mean you use human blood as a raw material to make a suspected liquid? It's unbelievable. The suspected liquid is very similar to our silver blood, but it is a completely different substance from ordinary people's blood."

"It's alchemy," Flame Fairy replied, "We use alchemy. The suspected liquid can be understood as a semi-finished imitation of soft stone, water of life, or philosopher's stone."

"Its raw material is human blood, and its derived meaning is 'soul' and 'spirit'. It is the main raw material of the Philosopher's Stone." Yan Ji said, "The so-called 'blood is the currency of the soul, the carrier of life'—say That's what it means."

===Chapter Five Hundred and 81 General Mobilization of Superpowers===

As night fell, the flames of war in the No.13 school district ignited again.

Academy City finally reacted and mobilized its forces to launch a counterattack...

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so slow, but the enemies and attacks this time were far beyond Academy City's expectations.

Not long ago, in order to deal with the aftermath of the "100,000 people audience", Academy City sent a large number of personnel out to perform tasks, resulting in an empty internal force.

In addition, the enemy this time is not a human being, but an automatic puppet that it saw for the first time, so the automatic attack system that Academy City is proud of is useless.

If it weren't for the power of the system firewall, these equipment would even be seized by the automatic puppets and become their help!

Therefore, it was not until a few hours after the "fall" of the No.13 school district that the counterattack was long overdue.

Not only are there armed forces in the conventional sense, but the governing council has also dispatched a force with the characteristics of Academy City—a team of espers.

The fact that Academy City's mainland was attacked, and even one school district was almost completely lost, frightened the directors, and they almost sent out all the fighting forces they could.

Of course including those level 5 superpowers...

On the long-distance control board, a secretary is reporting work progress on several large screens.

"...The seventh Sogiita Junba and the sixth Shenlong who don't have a real name can't see the head and the tail, and they can't be found for a while, so the plan to find them to join the battle is over."

"The fifth Shokuhou Misaki is notoriously incapable of fighting, so he is also excluded."

"The fourth Mugino Shenli and the eighth Lili Mezzas were in the duel when they were discovered. After an emergency call, they directly issued an order to the Anbu "prop" in the form of a compulsory task through the 'contact person', asking them to go immediately. School District No. 13 meets the enemy."

"At the same time, the temporary transfer order issued in the name of the governing council said that it would "borrow" the power of Lily Mezas—"

……

Lily thought that dueling in the city center was tied up and she didn't enjoy herself.At this time, when he saw that there was a battle coming to his door, he immediately agreed.

A moment later, a group of six girls squeezed into a small car and drove towards the No.13 school district.

"Actually, I can fly over by myself." Lily said with a bitter face.

She was squeezed in the back seat with Saten Ruiko, Frenda, Kinuhata, and Takitsubo Riko.Even though they are all slender girls, the space in the car seems too tight.

"Hmph!" Mai Ye Shenli, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, snorted coldly, "Who told you to come up!"

Saten Saten quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, everyone will fight side by side in the future, so don't have any more conflicts?"

"Speaking of which," Frenda said helplessly, "you are the one who shouldn't appear here, right?"

"Indeed, the next battle is not something a super-civilian can bear." Juanqi favorite also said.

"Yes, yes, get out of the car," Frenda stretched out her hand to push her, "Stop joining in the fun."

Saten Leizi rolled her eyes and slapped her hand away: "Why do you think I followed here..."

Saten Ruiko was worried because of what happened before? Mugino Shirley would still trouble Flanda later? That's why he insisted on following.

If she followed, there was a high probability that Lily would follow along.In this way? At least Mugino Shirley can be checked and balanced.

Of course Saten Ruiko's careful thoughts cannot be hidden from several other people, especially the four "props" who were born in Anbe.
