Academy City's Puppet Master

"Of course," Shokuhou Misaki said proudly, "In this Academy City, there are no secrets that others don't know!"

In fact, Shokuhou Misaki had already gone to Ling Qianji, but she had nothing to do with this kind of "split personality" that had actually been finalized.

"After careful consideration, it seems that Ling Qianji still decided to continue using his current body, so he sent this double over." Shokuhou Misaki analyzed.

The "stand-in" cancels the electronic brain and supporting main control functions, and deletes most of the power system, simplifying the mechanical structure to the extreme.Then use the saved space to strengthen the body so that it can withstand high-intensity battles.

Ling Xingye manipulated it a little bit, and found that it was smoother than expected.It seems that the modification and debugging of Lingqianji is not in vain.

After finishing the explanation, Shokuhou Misaki pressed the play button on the remote control.

The "still" picture resumes motion.

The "boss" Qifan who didn't find any abnormality at all continued, "Do you need to send someone to protect you?"

"No need, when did I need bodyguards?" Ling Xingye refused, and then asked, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Master Harlequin asked me to bring the puppet, doesn't it mean that boss, you need to protect your combat power? And it is indeed very likely that there will be danger recently"

Before finishing the seven words, he was "suspended" again.

"About this, I also want to remind you, Lord Starry Night," Shokuhou Misaki said, "Although you have such a powerful ally as him now"

The queen bee patted her chest triumphantly, and then continued: "But at the same time, there are many more enemies!"

"It can't be because of the enemies you brought me, right?" Ling Xingye rolled his eyes.

"Of course not! They have never had enemies, but they have two." Shokuhou Misaki muttered in a low voice, and then amplified his voice, "Allies and enemies are actually for the same reason."

As she spoke, she leaned out and took an envelope from the bedside table on the other side of Ling Xingye.

"Do you know? Master Xingye, you are the uncrowned king of the underground world. Now" Shokuhou Misaki shook the envelope in his hand, "I was invited to join the governing council again, do you know what this means?"

She approached suddenly, leaning in front of Ling Xingye.

"There are rumors that you are very likely to become the new director!"

===Chapter 67 Alliance "Props" ===

"The new director? The one in charge of the council?" Ling Xingye looked over in surprise, but found that there was no joking expression on Shokuhou Misaki's face.

He fell silent immediately, recalling all the things that happened after waking up today, as well as the performance and attitude of Passy and others, and suddenly realized that this statement was not groundless.

"Well, that's it." Shokuhou Misaki shrugged and pressed the remote control in his hand again, "Then, the explanation is over."

"There will be danger, so please let us send someone to protect you." Qifan continued.

"I appreciate your kindness." Ling Xingye said, "But the bodyguards are in this hospital, and you don't need to worry about my safety. In contrast, you should pay more attention to safety and protect yourself. Biggest help."

Qifan showed a helpless and unwilling expression, and did not continue to insist.It has to be admitted that Ling Xingye, as the "leader", is the strongest of the group of armed incompetents.From a practical point of view, he really doesn't need a so-called "bodyguard".

After all, with Ling Xingye's temper and personality, it's really not sure who will protect who if he is in danger.

What Qifan wants to arrange is bodyguards, not the oil bottles to be protected.

You must find a way to improve the strength of your subordinates, or train some dead soldiers.

Qifan silently calculated.

Suddenly, the secretary behind him let out a small exclamation, and quickly leaned into Qifan's ear to remind him, "Master, time!"

Qifan froze for a moment, raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"It's so late!" He exclaimed suddenly, "How did time go by so fast?"

You know, in order to avoid disturbing the "leader"'s rest, Qifan specially calculated the time for the visit.Just in case, let the secretary remind himself.

Unexpectedly, it still timed out in the end.

So Qifan hurriedly took his leave and left.

Ling Xingye glanced at the girl beside him speechlessly.

Shokuhou Misaki blinked at him with an innocent expression on his face.

"As expected of eve5's psychological mastery." Ling Xingye said sincerely.

"Thank you Master Xingye for your compliment." Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "But I suggest you get familiar with this new puppet as soon as possible."

Ling Xingye looked at the "stand-in" standing beside him, and with a light dance of his fingers, the puppet moved as vividly as a real person.

"Very good, very good! Have more momentum!" Shokuhou Misaki applauded and praised, "Take out the fighting posture. Ah, there are still thirty seconds 29, 28"

Ling Xingye looked puzzled at the girl who suddenly started counting down, but the latter kept urging him to "put on the most courageous pose".

"Three, two, one!" As the countdown ended, Shokuhou Misaki pressed the remote control again.

At the same time, the door was unceremoniously pushed open.

A panicked female voice came from the door: "Wait, Mai Ye, you have to knock on the door first."

"Tsk, who made the door open?" followed by a somewhat rough tone.

"Do you want to do it all over again? After all, this is also a task, and the superiors require us to be super polite."

"That's right, they even spent money to buy snacks and bouquets. The flower shop at the door is really expensive. Is it a black shop?"

The people making noise at the door were none other than the group of four "props" from Anbu.

The door of the room was opened under Mai Ye Shenli's heroic arms, and several people inside and outside the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

The "props" and the others happened to see that the puppet "substitute" was posing for a fight, facing them.

The girls couldn't help but quiet down, as if they realized that the person living in the ward was an existence no less powerful than eve5.

Mai Ye Shenli raised his eyebrows, but with the reminders behind him, "Muye, be polite.", "Super polite", etc., he restrained the urge to attack.

"Good evening." Ling Xingye was the first to break the silence.

"Good evening, aspect fulcrum." Mai Ye Shenli hesitated, and squeezed out a smile, "Uh, leader Ling Xingye."

"Hmm." Ling Xingye looked at them suspiciously, "Which song is this?"

"Of course it's a visit, a visit!" Frenda jumped out, because of Saten Ruiko, she had the least psychological burden facing Ling Xingye.

As she said that, she turned her head and yelled arrogantly: "Hey, quickly bring the things in!"

"Come, come, come!" Hamazura Shiage squeezed in, holding a huge bouquet of flowers and a heavy-looking hardcover gift box in his hand.

"Yo, good evening, Chief!" He greeted Ling Xingye with some embarrassment.

Theoretically speaking, since the unification of the underground world, Hamazura Shishang, who is a member of the armed incompetents, should be Ling Xingye's subordinate, but for some reason, he finds that he is still doing odd jobs for these young ladies

"Uh, thank you." Ling Xingye manipulated the double to take the gift.

"It looks like he's recovered." Mai Ye Shenli stood at the head of the bed with his arms folded, looking at Ling Xingye, "That's good."

"Confirm the leader's physical condition, super healthy. Mission accomplished!" Kinuhata muttered the most.

"Hey, what kind of mission is this?" Ling Xingye couldn't help asking.

He didn't expect the "Props" and the others to give an answer, but looked at Shokuhou Misaki who was sitting by the bed.

It is worth mentioning that even Shimori Mugino, who is also eve5, did not discover the existence of Shokuhou Misaki.

On the contrary, Takitsubo Rigo, who had always had a low sense of presence, looked suspiciously at the "empty chair" beside the hospital bed for a moment.

"Alliance." Mugino Shenli replied bluntly, "The superior asked our props team to form an alliance with you."

Theoretically speaking, because Ling Xingye unifies the underground world and fundamentally disintegrates the existence basis of "Anbu", there is no such dark institution as "Anbu" in Academy City now.

However, due to various reasons, "props" have become a rare Anbu organization that has survived.And with eve5 as the leader, they also have the value and qualifications to form an alliance with Ling Xingye.

嘀

Shokuhou Misaki hit the familiar feeling again and pressed the pause button again to act as the narrator.

"See, I just said that there will be many people who want to form an alliance with you! The current Master Xingye is an out-and-out big shot!"

Ling Xingye said: "Can it be understood that they came to invest in advance because they saw my potential and value as a reserve director?"

"Bingo! That's it!"

嘀

Unlike the previous Qiban and the others, Mugino Shirley clearly noticed something unusual.However, after careful inspection and finding that there is nothing abnormal, let go of the confusion for the time being.

"So, what's your answer?" she asked.

"Of course I'm fine!" Ling Xingye walked over and stretched out his right hand, "Welcome, happy cooperation."

Mai Ye Shenli also reached out his hand and shook it vigorously: "But let's say it first, we are an alliance, not your subordinates! Also, you can't intervene in the grievances between me and the electromagnetic gun."

"Of course the first one is fine." Ling Xingye said, "As for the latter one, I still don't want too serious conflicts within the group."

"Hmph, in other words, as long as it's not too serious? Don't worry, I'll be merciful. What I want is to defeat that little girl, not kill her." Mai Ye Shenli said conceitedly.

"That would be the best." Ling Xingye also laughed.

Mai Ye Shenli also knew that he was talking big, and Ling Xingye obviously believed in Misaka Mikoto's strength.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't want to make unnecessary arguments.

"Okay, the task is complete, let's go back!" Mai Ye Shenli snorted coldly, turned and took the lead to leave.

===Chapter Seven Hundred and Sixty-eight Confession Ceremony of the Puppet Master===

In the middle of the night, the ward finally returned to calm, Ling Xingye got up and went to the window, staring at the peaceful night scene outside.

After a while, he quickly closed the curtains and lay down on the bed.

"It's really lively today..." Ling Xingye sighed sincerely.

It is almost impossible to count how many guests came to visit, and the noisy ones must be particularly conspicuous; when I went to sell drinks at the vending machine downstairs, the head nurse looked at me almost glaringly.

Obviously, the memory before he fainted was still on the battlefield, and he returned to Academy City as soon as he opened his eyes, which made Lingxing Nightclub feel unreal and disillusioned.

"Also, it feels... more tiring than fighting an angel outside for [-] rounds." Ling Xingye complained with a wry smile.
