Academy City's Puppet Master

How long has it been since he suffered such a serious injury... Probably never, right?

"Ling Xingye, what a monster!"

The water in the rear suffered heavy losses, not to mention the failure of the mission. Because the balance of power in his body was broken, he could no longer possess the dual power of angelic spells and ordinary magic.

In other words, he lost the power and qualifications of the "God's Right Seat".

Now he is no longer the Water of the Back, but has turned back into William Orville, a magician and mercenary.

William didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision to come alone to assassinate Ling Xingye.He has no regrets about the ending he has now.

At this moment, the only regret in William's heart is that he failed to achieve the predetermined strategic goal and could not prevent the fire from the right from instigating a new war!

Before coming to Academy City, the worst outcome expected by Backwater at that time was that he and Ling Xingye would perish together—from the very beginning, there was no option for Ling Xingye to survive.

In order to avoid the outbreak of a new world war, Hou Zhishui chose to sacrifice Ling Xingye, a related character, and did not mind sacrificing himself at the same time.

But unfortunately, things backfired, and none of them died.

"I warned you to go all out."

Suddenly there was a voice from behind.

"It's you?" Turning around, it was the clown I met last night.

I remember being hit by myself with a stick... Rear Water opened his hand, only to realize that his metal stick had been damaged in the battle.

But he still tore down a lamppost casually—even though he was seriously injured, he was not helpless!

The clown laughed, and his body gradually faded away like a phantom.

"I also reminded you - to recognize who is the real enemy!"

After all, the clown disappeared completely.

But at both ends of the road, there are many figures appearing in shadows.

===Chapter 73 Capture===

Loki stepped back, hiding in the shadows and watching.

He hadn't gone, but neither William nor the latest ones seemed to have seen him.

The new black shadows all ignored Loki, who was right in front of him, and approached William in the middle of the road step by step.

There is no specific group of people, and the newcomers have nothing in common.Looking at the attire, there are students, teachers, corporate employees, security personnel, researchers...

It looks like the most ordinary group of pedestrians.

If this alley was not too remote, the scene in front of him would not arouse any suspicion at all.

But at the first glance, Loki felt a sense of disobedience.

——Because it's too "normal"!Too much is too much, the group of "passers-by" in front of them seems to be deliberately emphasizing the imitation of "normal" pedestrians on the street, and there is a feeling of excessive force.

What's more, regardless of these doubts, two waves of people appeared at the same time, one before and one after, and the intention of blocking the water behind was not concealed at all.

It is impossible not to be suspicious!

Loki had discovered such a group of people long before he showed up to talk with the water behind, and with the attitude of "watching a show", he just hid himself at the right time, hid aside and quietly watched the development of the situation.

Since the last time he shot Ling Xingye but failed, Rocky completely gave up his plan to continue making troubles, and turned to watch the show mode.

"Hey, it's so lively now!" Loki muttered softly.

I saw two waves of "passers-by" in the front and back had surrounded Zhishui in the rear, and they were several meters away from him, facing each other.

No matter how dull you are, you should feel that something is wrong.

Although these people seem to be ordinary citizens...

The water behind raised the light pole and rushed forward!

——Even if you are really an ordinary citizen, you can't show mercy!

The moment the two sides fought, the "passers-by" side suddenly turned their backs.Under the violence of the water behind, blood was splashed wantonly like cheap ink, and pieces of severed limbs were flying in all directions.

The remote path instantly turned into a Shura hell.

Seeing the blood flower blooming in front of his eyes, Zhishui behind also showed a surprised expression.

That's what he said, but he didn't expect that the group of enemies in front of him were really ordinary humans!

Based on the clown's prompt just now and his judgment of the situation, William has already guessed that the one who has been hiding in the dark like a squirrel should be the automatic puppet.

So there is no pressure when he starts.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be the tragic scene now.

The "passers-by" were not frightened by the casualties, as if they hadn't seen the tragic death of their companions, they still rushed towards William relentlessly.

Expressionless, unwavering, like... a robot made of flesh and blood.

"Ready to launch!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Then, everyone raised their hands in unison.

"Psychic cannonball... launch!"

In front of each palm, the air twisted, vaguely showing a spherical shape.

After a slight pause, hundreds of telekinetic cannonballs roared out!

"Level 2, less than level 3 telekinetic power," Loki, who had been a researcher for a long time, recognized the attack form in front of him at a glance, "Although it is unbelievable, it is indeed a super power!"

But he changed his mind: "No, it's not incredible, it's just a mass production capability..."

Loki suddenly understood what the origins of these strange "human beings" were.

It also explained why they acted so bravely and fearlessly, as well as their inhuman sense of strangeness.

"You really dare to do it, Yanshi Organization..." Loki couldn't help sighing, and then laughed happily.

"It's becoming more and more interesting! It's a pity that you left early and couldn't see these good shows..." Loki paused, "Or, this is also what you expected, Variety Bright?"

It's just that the telekinetic attack of level 2 superpower level is no threat to William, even if he is seriously injured.

The problem is quantity.

No matter how simple an attack is, as long as the number reaches a certain level, its threat level will undergo a qualitative change.

William couldn't avoid it, even if he used the electric pole to open more than a dozen shells, more shells fell on him.

The power of the telekinetic cannonball was limited, but when it hit the wound, it still made William's eyes black.

When he came back to his senses, the enemy had already rushed to him.

boom!

The moment he raised his head, William felt his head hit the wall, his nose was sour, and his eyes were full of stars.

Not only that, the whole body is restricted everywhere, as if stuck in a quagmire.

Psychic barriers—a large number of Psychic barriers surround William's body, making it difficult for him to perform even the simplest movements.

At the same time, the "passerby" ability users suddenly paired up into groups, held hands with each other, and then pulled out five silk threads from their fingertips.

Having fought Ling Xingye just now, William of course knows what these "silk threads" are and what kind of power they have.

Silk threads criss-cross and weave into a net.

Occasionally, there are still a steady stream of telekinetic shells and telekinetic barriers hindering.

William, on the other hand, is like a prey caught in a trap, fighting a trapped beast in vain.

Gradually, the struggle became weaker and weaker.Finally, William fell to his knees, the thread gathered.

——The water in the rear, captured successfully.

Crows hovered over the battlefield, making ominous cries.

After successfully capturing William, the "passers-by" methodically began to tidy up the scene, and then quickly left with the "prey".

A few minutes later, the scene was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

In the end, there was only one crow staying on the top of the nearby building, silently looking down.

"Verification completed - the final test of 'Silver 0' was successful, successfully capturing the water behind the target."

The crow scanned the scene below for the last time, and his eyes stayed in a shadow for a while, but he didn't find anything unusual after all.

"...The recording is completed, the task is completed. Go to the next stage, use the water in the back as the material, and create..."

The crow flapped its wings and flew high.

After a while, Loki stepped out of the shadows from which he was hiding.

Under the clown's make-up, his expression was dignified, but his eyes were filled with the look of seeing something interesting.

"I saw something incredible," he said to himself, "It seems that everyone was wrong. In the Crusades, the real winner was the Yanshi side!"

After saying that, the clown suit on Loki's body lifted up, turned into a colorful whirlwind, and disappeared from the spot.

Almost at the same time, the crow went back and forth, and the dark figure flew across the path at high speed.

Then turn around and fly again... repeat this three times.

In the end it was nothing.

"Strange," the crow muttered, "it seems like someone is hiding."

But after this verification was fruitless, the crow was no longer entangled.Turn around and really leave.

After all, when doing things in this city, there is no absolute secret at all.

===Chapter 74 Silver 0===

In the intensive care unit of the hospital, Ling Xingye closed his eyes tightly and lay on the hospital bed.
