Academy City's Puppet Master

"It turns out that this noise is 'decreased ability', sorry, this is something we have long been tired of."

The enemy fell silent, but the next moment, the smoke seemed to explode, and two cheetah-shaped driven armors were thrown out of it.

At the same time, there are drone-sized "blade bees" attacking in the air.

Accompanied by this saturated attack, the smoke was blown away, revealing a driven armor behind the formation.

It was a strange armor with the shape of a praying mantis, without a clear sense of "feet", and the whole body was suspended above the ground with a special force field.

Just the moment he saw it, Ling Xingye realized that this driven suit was different - it exuded a special sense of presence, which made Ling Xingye feel dangerous instinctively.

"Five_over modelcase_"railgun"" (five_over modelcase_"railgun"), developed by Academy City, directly reproduces the specialized equipment of level 5 "railgun".It is armed with a Gatling cannon that fires a railgun continuously.

What's it like to withstand the continuous bombardment of the railgun at close range?

Ling Xingye didn't want to know at all.

The moment he realized that the muzzle was pointing at him, he threw himself to the side with inhuman movements and agility.

At the same time, the puppet jumped out from the side, trying to deflect the muzzle of the cannon.

But the "Super Category [-]" driven armor is extremely flexible, and it slides back a certain distance smoothly, and the muzzle is fine-tuned, directly blasting the puppet in the air!

Immediately afterwards, the barrage woven by the electromagnetic cannon lashed out.Even though Ling Xingye showed difficult dodging moves like acrobatics, he was finally hit cleanly and fell to the ground.

"What's the 'leader', that's all!" After confirming that the target has no power to fight back, the voice came out again from the drive armor.

He manipulated the remaining drive suits to approach the past, surrounding Ling Xingye in the middle.

"Be careful, the threat level of the target is equivalent to level 5, I don't think he will be defeated so easily." Another girl's voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit.

"Don't be nervous, I told you that the target is not in its prime state." The operator of the powered suit said, "Where are you hiding? We agreed to do it together, but in the end it's all up to me!"

"Nonsense, you put 'power reduction' everywhere, how can I make a move!" The girl scolded, "It's obviously ineffective against Ling Xingye!"

"I can't say that, I think it's still effective." The driver of the drive suit argued, "According to the intelligence, Ling Xingye has the ability to defend against the real 'super electromagnetic gun', but he didn't show this ability just now-how much does it mean?" It's still affected."

While speaking, the "Super Five" drive armor in the shape of a praying mantis approached Ling Xingye.

Manipulator - Silver Cross. Alpha looks down through the external camera.

"What is this!" He suddenly exclaimed, "Did Ling Xingye do a full-body prosthetic transformation?"

I saw Ling Xingye who fell on the ground, his body was smashed by the shells and became dilapidated.But under the damaged skin are not flesh and bones, but broken cables and complex mechanical structures.

"What kind of monster is this!" The human appearance, the mechanical structure exposed from the damage, this weird combination directly hit the uncanny valley of the silver cross Alpha, making him scream out.

Ling Xingye suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes, showing a standard smile: "Don't be surprised, I'm a puppet master!"

===Chapter 77 I am a puppet master! ===

"I'm a puppet master." Ling Xingye said suddenly.

"We all know this!" A boy next to him responded loudly, "So what program are you planning today, Puppet Master?"

There was a sound of "yes, yes" echoing all around.

At this moment, Ling Xingye was shopping with Hitomi Shiranui... That's what he said, but he was actually sitting on a bench by the side of the pedestrian street, playing with three puppets——performing on the street.

The long-lost street performance quickly attracted many audiences, and people gathered around in an instant, taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.

However, Ling Xingye didn't seem to really intend to perform. He just manipulated the three puppets to make various actions vividly, but there was no theme or plot.

According to Ling Xingye himself, he did the puppet game on a sudden whim, and he didn't actually plan to perform it today.

Even after explaining this, his die-hard fans still refused to leave, and were still watching and filming with great interest.

For them, the last street performance has been a long time ago, as if it was a thing of the last era.I suddenly saw a familiar scene again today, and I felt like "the world is finally back on track".

Ling Xingye didn't disperse the audience and let them continue watching.And his main energy has already been concentrated in the gymnasium far away...

"...I'm a puppet master!" Ling Xingye suddenly said to himself.

Then he wanted to suddenly recover from the state of wandering far away, Ling Xingye pushed his glasses, and the three puppets at his feet jumped into the travel bag, and the surrounding crowd sighed reluctantly.

"I'm very sorry, the latest program is still under rehearsal and preparation." Bowing to the audience, Ling Xingye announced, "It will be presented here at this time tomorrow, so please look forward to it!"

With the puppet master's own guarantee, the audience reluctantly dispersed.

Hitomi Shiranui came to his side: "Is it over there?"

"It's about the same." Ling Xingye nodded, "As expected—it was indeed a grand feast."

Ling Xingye's eyes were still on the "prosthetic eye agent", and Hitomi Shiranui took his arm and led him forward.

"Who is the enemy?"

"The mastermind behind the scenes is Director Shiokishi. As for the one who actually does the work..." Ling Xingye paused, "It should be a certain Anbu? Strange, isn't there no established Anbu organization now?"

Leaving aside organizations with the nature of special forces like the Hound Force, the Anbu, which was composed of a small number of elite ability users, has long since been disbanded, existing in name only.

The only exception is probably the "props" led by Mai Ye Shenli.

"How could that kind of organization disappear completely? It must be a newly born organization recently." Shiranui Hitomi commented.

"But they still have two hands, just one person forced 'me' into such a mess." Ling Xingye praised.

"Fortunately, you thought of using the 'substitute' puppet method to trick them in turn."

Ling Xingye said with a smile: "The doctor has given such obvious hints, and there is such a convenient puppet as a 'substitute' at hand, how could it be unexpected?"

"In addition to this 'prosthetic eye agent'," he touched the glasses on his face, "it's more convenient for my performance."

The linear distance between the gymnasium where the meeting is held and the commercial pedestrian street is eight kilometers.Now Ling Xingye can precisely control every "phase fulcrum" within a range of [-] kilometers, so he can completely control the "stand-in" puppet remotely on the bench in the pedestrian street.

During Qifan’s pre-scheduled visits, a large number of cameras have been installed inside and outside the venue. Through the “prosthetic eye agent”, Ling Xingye has obtained a full range of God’s perspective, and has multiple visual modes such as infrared, ultrasonic, and electromagnetic waves.

That's why he was able to accurately capture the enemy's driven armor in the vast smoke.

Shiranuotong said that he was playing tricks on the enemy, but Ling Xingye said that this is the style of "puppet master".

The two held hands, like an ordinary couple taking a walk.

Soon, they walked out of the commercial pedestrian street and came to the densely populated campus.The popularity around him dropped instantly, and the noise behind him seemed to be far away.

Ling Xingye hugged the girl's waist and accelerated suddenly.

On the other side, Ling Xingye's "substitute" was running wildly on the street.

To be precise, it should be "flying close to the ground". I saw that its severely damaged body was dragged by silk threads, and it swept forward at a speed of more than [-] per hour.

Behind him, the praying mantis-shaped powered armor "Super Five" pursued closely.Behind it, there is a large force of various types of driven armor such as high-speed cheetahs, bee-shooting types, and enemy-breaking types.

It has to be said that Ling Xingye's "stealing the sky and changing the sun" taunt effect is very good, the enraged Silver Cross Alpha is not even willing to let go of this "stand-in" puppet, and chases after it.

In fact, he also planned to follow the "stand-in" to find Ling Xingye's body. After all, the task they received was to "eliminate Ling Xingye", so it was obviously unreasonable to kill only one stand-in.

The speed on both sides is not slow. Under Ling Xingye's control, the "substitute" leads the enemy to approach quickly.

Being led all the way by Ling Xingye, Hitomi Shiranui was distracted from checking emails on her phone.

"Yes," she said suddenly, "this time it is the Anbu's 'New Entrance', a new organization that just 'debuted' after the Third World War. There are about ten core members. As for this operation, there should be only one of them. Two people—Silver Cross Alpha and Night Seabird, the latter is a level 4 powerful user..."

Hitomi Shiranui read out the information she had just received.

"It's similar to what I saw here." Ling Xingye nodded, "That capable person didn't come after him... Be careful, you will encounter enemies soon!"

Following Ling Xingye's reminder, there was a low roar at the end of the road ahead, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards them.

"finally reached."

Ling Xingye stopped in the middle of the road, took a step forward and protected Hitomi Shiranui behind her.

"Finally showed up!" Silver Cross Alpha's voice came from a distance, "But, is this the main body?"

"Heh, guess what." Ling Xingye pouted.

The other party didn't care whether it was true or false, and raised the Gatling transfer tube electromagnetic cannon and blasted over.

Ling Xingye raised his right hand, and the "phase fulcrum" split into countless small squares, forming a barrier in front of him.

The dense barrage collided with the invisible wall, bounced off one after another, and sparked a dazzling spark.

Before he had time to determine the result of the battle, Silver Cross Alpha suddenly found that his driven armor was out of control.

A wave of violence from the outside twisted off the drive engines of each joint, forced the "Super Cat [-]" to turn around, and aimed the Gatling electromagnetic gun at the other driven suits behind it.

In panic, he suddenly remembered what Ling Xingye said just now.

"...I'm a puppet master!"

===Chapter Seven hundred and seventy-eight equal revenge===

The unique beep of the Gatling electromagnetic gun sounded again, and the barrage splashed out almost wiped out the surrounding driven armor.

Only one high-speed cheetah dodged in time and escaped unharmed.

Ling Xingye didn't get attached to it, and instead concentrated on destroying this "super five category".

Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy Silver Cross Alpha who was hiding in it popped out of the cockpit and got out.

The torso of the mantis-shaped powered armor suddenly exploded, and the barrel-shaped cockpit was ejected from behind.Then, an armadillo covered in metallic luster jumped out of it, landed on all fours, and quickly opened the distance with a few jumps.

At the same time, the high-speed cheetah that escaped just now came to join him in lightning speed.

Like a robot fused together, the metal armadillo submerged into the cheetah, accelerated and fled far away.

Before he could take a few steps, he saw it turn around suddenly, desperately trying to stop.

However, the huge mass of the driven armor endowed it with the same huge inertia, and the "brake" was not enough, and the high-speed cheetah crashed into the big net woven by the "flying blade".

The beautifully shaped cheetah body was instantly cut to pieces by silk threads, and the metal armadillo inside was not much better. Although it is the best "life armor" at present, the outer armor of the "armadillo" is obviously not " Flying Blade" opponent.

Sliding across the sharp blade, the metal armadillo tried to dodge and still had its left leg cut off.

The immobile enemy was easily caught up and captured by Ling Xingye.

Fortunately, the silver cross Alpha hidden in this miniature powered suit was safe and sound.However, due to living in the "metal armadillo" for a long time, his body has undergone extensive adaptive transformation, and he has basically lost the physical strength to escape and struggle by himself, so he can only obediently catch him without a fight.

"The transformation is really thorough." Ling Xingye looked at the enemy's extremely weak body, and even doubted whether he could survive independently without the "life armor" metal armadillo.
