Academy City's Puppet Master

"Now is not the time to chat," Ling Xingye said, "Hurry up and meet them... Those who can chase after two saints and a saint are definitely not easy to mess with."

After all, Ling Xingye took the clown to greet him.

Misaka Mikoto gathered the iron sand, stepped on the "cloud" formed by the iron sand and flew out

And Misaka 10001 climbed up to the sentry post, holding the rifle in his hand.

"There are people in front!" Kamijou Touma hurriedly shouted when he saw someone rushing towards him.

But before he finished speaking, he saw another figure flying towards him, unceremoniously stepping on his shoulder and continuing to rush forward.

Kamijou Touma staggered and fell to the ground when he suddenly received a huge pressure on his shoulders.

Before he could complain bitterly, he rushed to the top of his head to cool off—the cannonballs with mental power almost grazed his scalp.

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but gasped, and exclaimed in his heart that he was lucky.

"Kamijou Touma, cheer up. At least don't turn your back on the enemy." Ling Xingye's voice came from beside him.

"Starry night!" Kamijou Touma lifted his spirits and moved his head up, "You really can bring me good luck!"

"Don't say these things are useless!" Misaka Mikoto also came here stepping on the iron sand cloud, "Speaking of which, the enemy you encountered is indeed..."

"That's right, it's an automatic puppet." Ling Xingye nodded, "And it's still silver 0."

When Kamijou Touma saw Ling Xingye and Misaka Mikoto by his side, he gained a lot of confidence, got up and faced the enemy with them.

"We went to the launch site of the 'Star of Bethlehem'," Kamijou Touma began to explain, he regarded the air fortress created by the fire of the right side as a rocket launch, "I didn't expect it to be occupied by automatic puppets. There are so many of them There are so many people, and there are even strong enough to rival the saints, so we can only..."

Kamijou Touma spread his hands helplessly. What's more troublesome is that his "Fantasy Killer" seems to have no effect on automatic puppets, so he can only run away in a slump.

To make matters worse, they were also affected by the "Yanshi Curse" to varying degrees. Except for Kamijou Touma and Kanzaki Kaori who had more contact with Ling Xingye, the bodies of the others were gradually becoming stiff, all thanks to His powerful strength suppressed the symptoms, and barely continued to maintain his combat effectiveness.

The appearance of Ling Xingye undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm - silver puppet masters are the most professional in dealing with automatic puppets.

"Leave it to me." Ling Xingye didn't refuse, and manipulated the clown into the enemy's line.

The enemy is outnumbered, but Ling Xingye doesn't care, and he and the clown wantonly shuttle through the enemy group.It's like playing a game, knocking down automatic puppets one after another.

The entire battlefield once again became Ling Xingye's stage alone. Occasionally, one or two automatic puppets rushed to intercept, but were immediately hit head-on by lightning or the sword of iron sand.

"As expected of Xingye, it's amazing!" Seeing Ling Xingye fighting, Kanzaki Kaori gave praise without hesitation.

"It was obviously so strenuous when we fought..." Valkyrie Brunhid frowned, "I can't understand it!"

The Daughter of Allure said: "It's not surprising, because he is silver—only they know the weaknesses of these monsters best, and are the best at fighting them."

Moreover, the strong ones in the automatic puppets did not participate in the pursuit. The hundreds of automatic puppets that came here were all "miscellaneous soldiers" in Ling Xingye's view. Apart from the huge number, there was no other threat.

Misaka Mikoto was in charge of attacking the escaped targets and the fish that slipped through the net. Ling Xingye concentrated on fighting, and in less than 10 minutes, he wiped out the group of automatic puppets.

At the end of the battle, the two sides joined forces and returned to the abandoned barracks to rest.And ask Ling Xingye to help lift the "Yanshi Curse".

"Today is really unlucky," Kamijou Touma said while gnawing his dry rations, "We can't go to the high-altitude Star of Bethlehem, so we want to go to its launch base to see if there is a facility that can directly reach there. No Thinking of stabbing a hornet's nest, could the fire on the right be with the automatic puppets? Xingye, do you think..."

Just as he was talking, Kamijou Touma suddenly felt a chill down his back, and a familiar "unfortunate feeling" enveloped his heart.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 staring at him unkindly!

--what?What's wrong?Am I doing something wrong?

Kamijou Touma was a little confused, he didn't seem to offend the two of them, did he?

Kamijou Touma turned to look at Ling Xingye, wanting to ask him what happened.

Then I saw Ling Xingye leaning against the wall, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Kamijou Touma immediately shut up, at this moment, he finally understood what the Misaka sisters meant.

——Don't disturb Ling Xingye's rest!

===Chapter Seven Hundred and Fifty-two Rises Again===

Seeing that Ling Xingye was already asleep, the others lowered their voices.

Ling Xingye's struggle and exhaustion today are obvious to all. During the day, he was the absolute main force against Water 0 and Archangel Gabriel in the rear. Just now, he almost wiped out the entire automatic puppet with his own strength.

Others also felt that they really had no position to bother him.

After a while, people found that Ling Xingye was in a deep sleep and would not be awakened by their conversation at all, so they continued to talk.

The two sides exchanged their respective experiences today. Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 had nothing to say here, they just drove their armored vehicles all the way towards the east coast.

And Kamijou Touma's side is much more exciting, it's almost non-stop fighting and fleeing.They also had vehicles at the beginning, but not long after the battle started, the vehicles were destroyed, and then they rushed here by running on their legs.

Having said that, Kamijou Touma still sighed - even if there were other people to help on the way, he couldn't believe that he ran so far.

"It's really embarrassing..." Kanzaki Kaori also smiled wryly, "I never thought that groups of automatic puppets would be so difficult to deal with."

"This is going to be troublesome." The daughter of the country who was also chased miserably all the way looked deep in thought, showing a serious expression.

"Well, I was caught off guard because I was not familiar with the enemy today." Valkyrie Brunhed said, "Think about it carefully, as long as you target the weak point, those puppets are actually very easy to deal with."

As if in self-defense, Brunshid claimed: "If I encounter them again, I can solve them all by myself!"

"It's not that simple..." said the daughter of Qingguo.

"What? Are you questioning my strength?" Brunshid immediately glared over with an unkind expression.

The Alluring Daughter shook her head: "That's not what I meant. If it was just us, of course there would be no problem."

She reached out and pointed around the room.

"But it's because of 'us' that we can say that, right?" said the daughter of Qingguo, "According to the information provided by Baiyin Lingxingye, those automatic puppets are just the 'basic arms' that the enemy can mass-produce."

The implication of the daughter of the fallen country is very simple, except for their top-level combat power on the magic side, can those ordinary people, even ordinary magicians, be able to deal with automatic puppets?

As saints, Kanzaki Kaori and Brunshid are more active on the battlefield with powerful personal force.

But the daughter of the country is different. She is a military adviser who lives behind the scenes and is the essence of France's "brain", so her thinking is completely different.

"Maybe..." The Alluring Daughter murmured to herself, "We made a mistake from the very beginning—who is the real enemy."

Misaka Mikoto asked her, "The real enemy—you mean the automatic puppets?"

"Perhaps." The Daughter of Overwhelmed Country was noncommittal.

"But right now, the fire on the right is also a huge trouble." Brunhid pointed to the sky.

"Yeah, don't worry about puppeting them automatically." The Alluring Daughter cheered up, "First of all, we must find a way to stop the crazy plan of the right fire."

"Speaking of which," Kanzaki Kaori joined the conversation, "the summoned Archangel Gabriel has been defeated and expelled by us, why hasn't the right fire taken action to fight back?"

She doesn't believe that an archangel is the ultimate trump card of the Right Fire.

Taking a step back, even if it is the last hole card, you should react after being cracked, right?

As a result, at the end of the day, there was no movement.It was as if he had left Earth in the "Star of Bethlehem".

It's no wonder that Kanzaki Kaori complained that the main purpose of her and Kamijou Touma's trip was to defeat the Fire of the Right, at least to prevent him from continuing to remotely control Index.

In this case, the enemy can save them a lot of energy by actively coming to the door.

"If it doesn't work, we can only find a plane to take you up." Misaka Mikoto suggested.

"Magic can also be used. But if possible, I still hope to let him leave the Star of Bethlehem before fighting." Kanzaki Kaori said.

Several people chatted for a while, and then arranged the order of the night watch, ready to rest.

Just as they were saying good night to each other, the two saints Kanzaki Kaori and Brunhid stood up at the same time, looking towards the gate of the camp outside the house,

"What's the matter, has anyone come over?" Misaka Mikoto, who was familiar with this scene, asked hastily, and at the same time released electromagnetic waves to detect it.

Sure enough, many metal reactions were detected!But when making further distinctions, Misaka Mikoto was surprised to find that...

"Armor?" According to the contours fed back by the electromagnetic waves, those metal responses are all human-shaped knight plate armor, full of medieval aristocratic style.

Misaka Mikoto once thought that she had misread it—heavily armored knights and the like were all hyped gimmicks in today's era.

However, when she told everyone about her discovery, she found that they were not surprised, as if it should be taken for granted.

"That's right, it's the knights who came here." The daughter of the country said.

Knights?Misaka Mikoto meditated on this word silently, and then immediately thought of the last scene of the Crusades.

I remember that it was rows of medieval style knights who launched the charge at that time.

"So it's a magic knight?"

"To be precise, it is the Knights of the Orthodox Church."

Regardless of rest, the group ran out of the house, preparing to meet the enemy.

Since Ling Xingye slept too deeply, he still didn't intend to wake up.

People didn't go to wake him up either, they just asked Misaka 10001 to stay and take care of Ling Xingye.

When I came outside, I found that not only the Knights came, but also something bigger appeared above their heads.

The aerial fortress "Star of Bethlehem", unexpectedly stopped right above the abandoned barracks.

The height is reduced to around 1000 meters, and this behemoth can be seen even just standing on the ground.

It was a prophecy. I just said that I hoped that Youfangzhihuo would come to me on my own initiative. I didn't expect it to come true so soon.

In the distance, the knights lined up neatly, forming a square formation and pressing towards this side.Above the head, is the more oppressive Star of Bethlehem.

Everyone just felt the heavy pressure rushing towards their faces.

"It's not time to sleep now, wake up Ling Xingye!" the daughter of Qingguo said loudly.

Just now they wanted Ling Xingye to have a good rest and sleep a little longer, so they didn't wake him up.

But I didn't expect the fire from the right to come in person!Facing such a powerful enemy, Ling Xingye could no longer be allowed to sleep on.

Misaka Mikoto notified Misaka 10001 who stayed behind by radio waves, and then everyone met the charge of the Knights together.

Just as the fierce battle ahead was in full swing, several other figures descended from the "Star of Bethlehem" in the sky and quietly approached the house.
