Academy City's Puppet Master

"Starry Night," Gufa Meiwei said at this time, "Please take the following information seriously."

She looked at the people in the conference room, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The information was obtained by Chuchun Shili through investigation and analysis alone, and has not been disclosed to anyone else, so"

"So serious?" Ling Xingye also looked at the people present, then nodded, "No problem, let's talk directly. Everyone here is trustworthy."

Chuchun Li gritted her teeth and continued: "I restored their emails and found a series of high-frequency words Lily, the eighth, Ice Age"

Therefore, there is reason to suspect that Lily Mezzas is inextricably linked to the mastermind behind the incident.

Because it was related to an eve5, and Ling Xingye's classmate, Chuchun Shili was a little panicked.

Finally, at Gufa Meiwei's suggestion, she temporarily blocked the information, and was going to communicate with Ling Xingye first to see what his plans were.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

Neither Ling Xingye nor Shiranui Tong were surprised by this discovery.It was known from the beginning that Lily Mezzas was a transfer student from abroad and had a close relationship with the US military. It is not surprising that she is related to "Gremlin" now.

"But," Hitomi Shiranui said, "I don't think Lily is an enemy. She fought Marian without hesitation the other day."

"That's because they don't belong to the same faction," Shokuhou Misaki retorted, "And I think that Lily's child probably didn't know that the headquarters had this operation, so he accidentally injured him?"

"No, lies." Mitsuko Kamiya whispered beside him.

In fact, she doesn't need to judge, just look at the expression on Shokuhou Misaki's face, she just wants to refute Hitomi Shiranui.

The reasons she put forward are very reasonable, but Lily's own attitude is probably not hostile to Academy City.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to hide the truth from Shiranui Hitomi and Shokuhou Misaki.

The biggest problem now is Lily's own position, but it has nothing to do with her subjective will.

"Regarding this, you have done a good job." Ling Xingye nodded in agreement, "Continue to block the information and don't let others know. As for Lily, I will talk to her to see what she really thinks."

"I'm with you." Hitomi Shiranui added.

"Oh." Chuchun Shili showed a relaxed expression as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and then operated the handheld a few times, "I also collected some relevant information, which has been packaged and handed over, please pay attention to check."

Ling Xingye took out his phone and saw an encrypted email in his mailbox.

Chuchun Shili was very careful and specially adopted the encryption program he set up.

"Really cautious!" Ling Xingye couldn't help being speechless again, and used the key she provided on the spot to open the file.

Then he took a breath: "Did you hack into the enemy's server?"

"Cough, I just did a little research." Chuchun Shili smiled shyly.

Ling Xingye looked at her with a strange expression, then shook his head, and put his phone on the table: "This is the end of this matter, I will deal with it next. Is there anything else? If not, let's end the meeting."

Most of the people present were watching the excitement, so naturally there were no more topics to discuss, so they all got up and prepared to leave.

The members of the No. [-] Branch of the Disciplinary Committee are busy, but they plan to discuss it directly with Ling Xingye later.

Seeing Saten Leizi who came with them, Ling Xingye finally remembered that he was still her master.

"Yo, Saten, how are you resting these two days? Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

Saten Reniko shook her head: "Miss Hua and the others did a comprehensive inspection for me, and they confirmed that there is no platinum blood left. It should be fine, right?"

"That's good." Ling Xingye felt relieved about this, and then looked at her again, "But next, do you plan to continue learning the silk-drawing opera?"

"Of course!" I didn't expect Saten Renzi to answer in seconds. She clenched her fists and looked excited. "Even the enemy recognizes my talent. Doesn't it mean that I am the most suitable for this path?"

Ling Xingye and the others present couldn't help but look sideways, not knowing whether to say that she was optimistic by nature or nervous.

At this moment, the little secretary suddenly returned to the meeting room.

"Uh, there's a girl delivering parcels outside, she said yes" she looked at Saten Saten, "a puppet for Saten-san?"

===Chapter [-] Troubleshooter===

"Give me a puppet?" Saten Leizi's eyes widened, recalling her experience of being sent a puppet not long ago, she subconsciously hid behind Ling Xingye.

"Is it a girl? What kind of person?" Hitomi Shiranui asked.

Ling Xingye had already walked towards the door: "Just go and have a look."

If it's really that Platinum guy's ulterior motives, Ling Xingye is sure to let him come and go in his lair.

When I came to the lobby of the bar outside, I saw an out of place figure sitting in the corner, looking very cautious.

Like a little beast that has gone to the wrong place, trembling with the doll in its arms.

The girl was wearing the uniform of Wuqiu Women's College. It's hard to imagine that a female high school student from one of the five prestigious schools would come to an underground bar where bad people gather...

However, since there were three young girls in Tokiwadai Middle School uniforms present, the waiter at the bar didn't think there was anything wrong.

The female high school students of Wuqiu Women's College seemed to be forced by the atmosphere of the bar, their heads were lowered and they did not dare to look up, their round glasses were almost buried in the doll's hair.

"Huh?" Misaka Mikoto stepped forward quickly, "Kazezhan-san? So it's you!"

Ling Xingye and the others also recognized the girl as Feng Zhan Binghua, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.Seeing that they were friends, they put down their guard one after another and surrounded them together.

Seeing familiar people, Feng Zhan Binghua also let out a long sigh of relief, showing a reassuring smile.

She greeted everyone politely, then stared at Saten Ruiko in the crowd.

"Student Zuotian, I finally found you!" Feng Zhan Binghua said happily, and then handed over the doll in his arms, "Here, this is for you."

"?" Saten Saten didn't know why, and took the slightly fancy doll in a daze.

"This... is the puppet for Saten Renko?" Ling Xingye asked.

He knew that after the Third World War, Feng Zhan Binghua was recuperating in the "unchanged routine"; and Ling Qianji happened to be hiding in this city.

Therefore, after Ling Qianji completed the puppet for Saten Reniko, it was reasonable for Fengzhan Binghua to bring it out.

"Hey, yes." Feng Zhan Binghua nodded, "Mr. Ling over there asked me to bring it and hand it over to classmate Saten."

"Another puppet that Master gave me?" Saten Renko held up the doll and looked at it carefully, "It feels a bit small..."

Normally, because they are used in battle, the puppet master's official puppets are all life-sized, even larger than ordinary people.

But the puppet in front of him was only [-] centimeters tall.It is the image of a young girl. The overall shape is very well-proportioned, and it seems to be a scaled-down version of the normal size.

Although it can be seen that it is the image of a young girl, the puppet is dressed in a circus clown's attire, colorful; its face is also heavily painted, outlining an exaggerated smile.

There is also a delicate and small backpack on the back, and I don't know what it contains.

Saten Renko looked at the puppet in her hand in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Harlequin? What a strange aesthetic." Shirai Heizi commented.

"Is... is it really all right?" Misaka Mikoto muttered softly.

She could see that inside the puppet's body, there was also "liquid metal" flowing, just like human blood vessels.

The last time I saw the same scene was on Yanshi Baijin and Boll.

She looked at Ling Xingye, and saw that the "expert" didn't say anything, so she temporarily suppressed her confusion.

After all, it was a puppet given to her, and it was also a work made by one of her masters. Saten Ruiko quickly fell in love with the appearance of the clown girl.

She also held the puppet in her arms like a doll like Feng Zhan Binghua did just now.

Then he bowed to Ling Xingye to thank him.

"Thank you Master!"

"Hey, don't thank me, I didn't do it." Ling Xingye pouted.

Saten Saten's good mood was not affected, and he turned to Kazawa Hyoka again: "Student Kazeza, thank you for sending me here."

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Feng Zhan Binghua quickly waved his hands, "I just wanted to come and see you all."

"By the way," Saten Renko asked again, "Did Master tell you what her name is?"

Saten Ruiko patted the puppet in her arms.

"Yes, she's called 'Troubleshooter.'"

The whole place was suddenly silent.

After all, it wasn't that long ago that they were talking about "The Rascal (Gremlin)".As a result, there is now a puppet named after the enemy in front of him.

Ling Qianji must have chosen this name on purpose.

"Uh...why is it called that name?" Saten Ruiko asked.

"Because she is naughty?" Feng Zhan Binghua tilted his head and guessed.

At this time, Ling Xingye also began to notice the unusualness of this puppet.

As a puppet, "Troublemaker" is a little too agile, it feels like he is alive.

Automatic puppet!This kind of existence fits the description of "living puppet".

"That guy Qianji, what are you doing..." Ling Xingye frowned, although he didn't think he would hurt Saten Renzi, but he still couldn't rest assured.

"Tianzi, show me the puppet." Ling Xingye said.

"Oh, yes, master!" Saten Leizi simply sent the troublemaker to Ling Xingye.

Then I felt like I was stared at by Harley Quinn.

"Huh?" Saten Renko blinked, and felt that she had misread again.

Ling Xingye took the "troublemaker" and weighed it - it was very heavy, it felt like a humanoid puppet made of a whole piece of metal.

To be honest, this is not a weight that an ordinary girl can easily hold.

Moreover, Ling Xingye did feel the "suspect liquid" flowing in his body.

There is no doubt that it is an automatic puppet. Ling Xingye became careful and put it on the table beside him, ready to take it apart for inspection.

Just as I reached out to untie the outer layer of the clown suit, suddenly, the "troublemaker" moved.

As if she came alive in an instant, Harley Quinn stood up and hid on the other side of the table.

"Pervert!" Harley Quinn screamed.

Everyone present looked at Ling Xingye with weird expressions.

"Don't listen to its nonsense," Ling Xingye said with a dark face, "it's just a puppet."
