Academy City's Puppet Master

But everyone present refused to go back to rest obediently.

Tomorrow is the weekend and there is no class, so there is no problem even if you stay up late.

The girls who made these remarks followed Ling Xingye back to the underground bar.

"Hey, it's still so lively around Xingye." Bai Yinyao, who had already been waiting at the bar, said with a smile.

"I kept you waiting, Sister Yao."

"I came here ahead of time," Bai Yinyao said, "After all, this is still a bar, so you can just have a drink or two before talking about business."

"Since it's about business, don't get yourself drunk first!" Ling Xingye complained.

"Hahaha, don't worry, sister, I will never get drunk!"

"Generally, those who say that are basically drunk." Ling Xingye shook his head, and said to the bartender behind the bar, "Make a pot of tea to sober up."

"I'm really not drunk!" Bai Yinyao reached out and hooked Ling Xingye's neck, and leaned over and said, "And now that Xingye is in charge of the overall situation, even if I drink too much, it's okay!"

=== Seven hundred and eighty-three meeting ===

Deeper in the underground bar is the underground command center of Ling Xingye's headquarters.

Because they came to "talk business", Ling Xingye and Bai Yinyao came to the special conference room of the command center.

Of course, Baiyin Yao came with drinks and snacks.Misaka Mikoto and the other girls followed along as if they were joining in the fun.

Looking at the girls who were still junior high school students, Ling Xingye sighed, and finally did not drive them out.

There is no need to avoid them in what is to be discussed next.

After everyone was seated, Baiyin Yao was the first to speak. She shook her wine glass and said, "First of all, congratulations on Xingye becoming one of the actual controllers of Academy City. Would you like a drink to celebrate?"

"No, I'm not old enough to drink." Ling Xingye shook his head and refused, "And the controller of this city will only be Chairman Aleister, and everyone else is just parts that can be replaced at will. I agree with what he said."

Ling Xingye's expression was calm, and he did not see the joy and excitement of being in power at all.

"Tsk, it's not good to be too calm, the reaction is really boring." Baiyin Yao complained, "Xingye, you are still a 16 years old boy, don't be so old-fashioned."

At this time, Qifan's secretary walked into the conference room with a trolley and delivered brewed black tea and freshly baked biscuits.

"Remove her wine and replace it with tea." Ling Xingye ordered.

At this time, Bai Yinyao was obviously abnormal, she obviously drank too much, or deliberately teased Ling Xingye with the strength of alcohol.

If things go on like this, there is no way to have a good discussion.

"Hey, no!" Baiyin Yao hugged the wine bottle coquettishly and refused to let go, while shaking his head desperately, his silver hair as smooth as satin was shining brightly.

"Stop making trouble, Sister Yao." Ling Xingye persuaded with a wry smile, "What's wrong with you today? Please be more reserved."

"Just let my sister and I relax a little bit," Bai Yinyao said suddenly in a calm and calm tone, "Just this once!"

"After all," she continued after a moment of silence, "I'm afraid there will be no chance to relax in the next period of time."

Hearing what she said, Ling Xingye no longer insisted.Although it is not clear what exactly happened, but the details can be asked later.

Perhaps the answer lies in the following discussions.

Of course, Bai Yinyao was not the only one who participated in the discussion. After a while, Bai Yinxiao, Commander Hua and Hua 72 came to the meeting room.

On Hua 72's shoulder lay a palm-sized mechanical spider.

So far, all members of "Baiyin" in Academy City have arrived except Lucun.

Seeing Bai Yinyao holding a wine glass and drinking by himself, the three people who just came in seemed to have expected it, greeted the others without changing expressions, and then sat down.

Then, Shichiban, Hijikata Gomori, "Giant Needle Ant" Ito Arisu, Kurozuma Watayu, Komaba Toshitoku and other leaders of various clubs of the armed incompetent group also filed in.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became serious.

Seeing this, the girls suddenly became embarrassed.Before coming here, no one thought that it would be such a serious occasion. A few girls in school uniforms seemed out of place among these people.

Busaten Saten looked around, she seemed to be the only one feeling uneasy.

Misaka Mikoto's momentum was not weak at all, and she sat upright in her seat as if it was a matter of course.Beside Misaka 10001 was also expressionless, completely unmoved by foreign objects.

As for Shokuhou Misaki, like Bai Yinyao, she watched the development of the matter with an expression of "watching a show".

"Senior Shiranui," Saten Renko gently tugged at the hem of the girl beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really all right, am I here?"

"Relax, it's not a big deal." Hitomi Shiranui patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "If you feel bored, you can leave the venue and go out for a rest."

Saten Ruiko rejected the offer.

"Everyone is here, let's start, Qifan." Ling Xingye said.

"Understood, leader." Qifan, who was sitting at the end of the long table in the conference room, stood up and presided over the meeting.

On the huge projection screen in the conference room, the theme of this meeting was "the first formal exchange meeting between the group of armed incompetents and the Silver Organization".

After last night's battle, Ling Xingye took the position of director Chaogan and ascended to the throne of "director".

In the overnight vote of the General Council, Ling Xingye was recognized as the new director with six votes in favor, two votes against and one abstention.

Regardless of Ling Xingye's own wishes, since he is in this seat, he must be responsible for certain things and responsibilities.

The General Council is the highest authority governing Academy City, and each member has a heavy responsibility.

Being a director is not about being strong enough, but about his contribution.

Regardless of personal character and quality, it doesn't matter whether you are good or evil, and you don't even mind whether you are a magician or a priest.

The only requirement is to "be able to contribute to Academy City" and become a pillar of the city.

The General Council is the "device" used by Chairman Aleister to maintain the existence and operation of Academy City.What is important is not the device itself, but the role it assumes.

Ling Xingye is no exception.

The feats achieved in World War III were just icing on the cake.

Dominating the underground world and becoming the leader of a group of armed incompetents is nothing more than laying the groundwork.

The real decisive seriousness is his status as "Silver Puppet Master".

Ling Xingye is not only a superpower in Academy City, but also a silver puppet master.This dual identity determines that he is a natural liaison between the two organizations.

Recently, intelligence has shown that the United States on the other side of the ocean is preparing to compete for "leadership on the scientific side". While investing a lot of resources to develop various black technologies, it is also quietly cooperating with the Yanshi Organization during the "Third World War".

Represented by automatic puppets, the Yanshi organization itself has mastered a completely different technology tree.Their cooperation with the world's largest country, the burst of influence has already threatened Academy City.

In order to counter the opponent's alliance, it is one thing to actively organize the Yiduanlan Festival. At the same time, it is the fastest and most effective way to form an alliance with the Yanshi organization's mortal enemy "Baiyin".

In addition, the "Silver" organization suffered heavy losses in the last Crusade, so it is not too strong in comparison, so it can be said to be a perfect "partner".

It was under such circumstances that Ling Xingye became the latest "director", mainly responsible for fighting against automatic puppets and communicating with the "Silver Organization".

Qifan briefly introduced the current situation. The group of armed incompetents is Ling Xingye's force, and future liaison and cooperation will inevitably involve the participation of his subordinates; similarly, if the Silver Organization wants to carry out activities in Academy City, it cannot avoid the general director The official supervision of the meeting, so there is today's meeting.

After Qi Fan finished speaking, Ling Xingye concluded: "In short, what we have to do has not changed, it is still the same as before. Continue to eliminate automatic puppets, and turn Academy City into a forbidden area for automatic puppets!"

===Chapter 84 Platinum Blood===

Ling Xingye announced: "The things I have to do in the future have not changed. I want to completely eliminate the automatic puppets of Academy City!"

"About this," Bai Yinxiao, who was petite and looked like a middle school girl, said, "There should be no automatic puppets in Academy City now."

Hua 72 continued: "In the past few days, we have searched the entire city, but we haven't found any aura about automatic puppets or silver zero."

"It's not the best, but you can't relax." Ling Xingye nodded, "No one knows where those guys will hide in a corner. What's more, there will be someone to help them..."

With that said, Ling Xingye picked up the tablet to operate, and then took out a memory.

Tu Fanghu recognized at a glance that this was exactly what Liu Yinjian asked him to bring back to Ling Xingye yesterday.

"Here is some information we have - the contact records between Director Chaogan and the Yanshi Organization." Ling Xingye said.

"Okay! It turns out that guy is the ghost!" The people below shouted immediately, "He actually helped those vampires from outside to harm us. Hurry up and expose him, and let him be ruined!"

"It's useless, please calm down." Ling Xingye shook his head and said, "I have to admit that all the actions of Director Shiokishi can only be regarded as out of bounds at best, but he did not violate any regulations-and he himself is the maker of the rules. In short, Don't try to beat any of the directors with this sleight of hand."

"What we need to care about now is the content inside, not the fact that Director Shiokishi colluded with the automatic puppet." Ling Xingye called up the email records of the communication between the two parties.

As Ling Xingye said, it is not illegal for Chao An to contact and cooperate with Yanshijia and Yanshi Crow successively. They are all "regular activities" carried out under the guise of "scientific research cooperation" and "commercial cooperation".

Occasionally there are some outrageous things - such as human experimentation - but to the director of Academy City, this level of matter is not worth mentioning at all.

So Shiokishi didn't deliberately delete the email records, and now Ling Xingye has obtained them all.

According to email records, the contact between Director Chaogishi and the Yanshi organization was divided into two stages.

At first, he contacted both Baiyin and Yanshi—Lucun and Yanshijia promised to provide "longevity technology" in order to gain his support and establish an operation base in Academy City.

However, the technology provided by the Silver Organization was too conservative, and Director Shiokishi had already learned about the "panacea (silver blood)", coveting and suspicion caused the cooperation between the two parties to break down.

Afterwards, Director Shiokishi continued to cooperate only with Yan Shijia and the following Crow.

The crow boldly promised that it would reproduce the "Blood of Silver", so that Shiokishi would become immortal and not afraid of injuries.

As a price, Director Shiokishi opened the door to convenience, providing hiding places for crows and automatic puppets, and even production and maintenance factories.

This is the main reason why the automatic puppets of Academy City were always inexhaustible.

Crow also completed the final development and research of "Silver 0" with the help of Academy City's technology and infrastructure.

However, the technology of "Silver 0", which can only produce tool people, is of course impossible to be accepted by Shiokishi, so the follow-up improvement research continues.

Immediately afterwards, they were completely wiped out by Ling Xingye and Bai Yinyao.

As a result, during the "World War III", the automatic puppet forces in Academy City were completely wiped out, and Yan Shijia and the crow also left the city.

Director Shiokishi's cooperation with them ended without a problem.

Not long ago, Crow suddenly approached Director Shiokishi again, announcing that the research was successful, and that the real "perfect panacea" had been produced.

Unlike "Blood of Silver", the crows claim that their newly developed "perfect panacea" can truly "immortality".

And the "blood of silver" is just a "longevity medicine" that "delays aging".

The crow called it "platinum blood", which makes people "immortality", but also has the ability to "repair the body" and "quick self-healing".
