Academy City's Puppet Master

Just when Kihara Ranshu led his men to slaughter all directions and was about to retire, the scene that had been silent all the time suddenly heard screams one after another.

The monster appeared.

A series of human figures sprang out from every corner, coming and going like the wind, moving swiftly and powerfully.

Holding sharp knives, they jumped back and forth between the walls and ceiling of the corridor with inhuman agility and movements, bringing blood spray from time to time.

The secret troops are all experienced fighters, but they are not the opponents of these monsters. The battle with cold weapons did not take any advantage.

Finally, gunshots rang out.

But what is surprising is that the monsters still leisurely shuttle and jump in the rain of bullets. Only a few unlucky ghosts were hit by bullets, and the others continued to harvest the lives of the secret troops.

Soon, there was only the last group left in the secret army, which was still in a state of strength just now, protecting Kihara Ranshu and fleeing for his life.

"How is it possible?" Kihara Luanshu's panicked voice was transmitted to the meeting room through the real-time monitoring, "Why didn't it work?"

There was silence.These monsters that were newly put into the battlefield ignored Kihara Ranshu's "illusion", and their fighting power was extremely strong, which turned the whole situation around in an instant.

Kihara fled in a panic, only a few monsters caught up, and the rest stayed where they were, sorting out the corpses.

As if with obsessive-compulsive disorder, regardless of the enemy or the enemy, all the corpses were groomed and neatly lined up along the corridor.

With fewer and fewer people around him, Kihara Ranshu eventually became the only survivor left.

The monster is still hunting.

And in front of Kihara Ranshu, a normal human finally appeared.

Before he had time to see the other party's appearance clearly, Kihara Suda felt a chill on the neck of his neck, and then completely lost consciousness...

But the camera on his body continued to work.

The man in a white coat and a researcher leaned over to pick up the camera.

The screen was instantly filled with a white face with blond hair and blue eyes.

I saw the other party showing a polite smile: "Hello, my friend on the other side...and my fellow clan. I am Kihara Evolution, please give me more advice."

===Chapter [-] Kihara Evolution===

The blond foreigner called himself "Kihara Evolution" and greeted the camera.

He seemed to have guessed that there was someone on the other side of the camera, but after saying hello, he lost interest and threw the camera aside.

So far, the secret force engaged in the revenge operation... the whole army has been wiped out.

Director Shiokishi and Director Yakumi Hisako's faces became very ugly. It can be said that their plan has completely failed.

"That person said he was Kihara just now?" Director Shiokishi suddenly came back to his senses, staring at the golden retriever on the host stage and questioning, "Someone among you betrayed?!"

The golden retriever—Kihara Naogen glanced at him, and said calmly, "There is absolutely no such thing. All members of the Kihara clan in Academy City belong to the chairman, and they will never betray."

"So, that man isn't Kihara?" Yakumi Hisako said, "Is he lying?"

"No, he is the genuine Kihara." Kihara's head said, "Perhaps you are not clear, the so-called Kihara clan is not a clan in the usual sense..."

The so-called "Kihara" is essentially an "executor" who emerges from a certain field of pure science when it is judged that it has been abused.Rather than saying that they are a group, it is better to say that they are the humanoid embodiment of "science and technology".

The reason why the "Kihara Clan" appeared in Academy City on a large scale is simply because the science and technology of Academy City is far ahead of other places in the world.Naturally, the top technologies representing various fields will appear in Academy City with a high probability.

"But this does not mean that Academy City is ahead of the outside world in all fields." Kihara Naogen explained, "So there will be Kihara outside...for example, this one."

The picture on the big screen freezes and zooms in, showing the face of Kihara Evolution.

At the same time, the real-time live broadcast of the secret army has not stopped.

Through the multi-angle picture stitching of each camera, the general situation of the scene was finally restored.

The images of those "monsters" finally surfaced.

They are generally human-like in appearance, but have pale blue skin.At first, I thought it was the clothes I was wearing, but after careful identification, I found that it was their original skin color.

The face and facial features are not so much like people, but more like some kind of animal, quite a bit like the legendary "lizard man".

The equipment on their bodies was extremely simple, only one or two short knives—it was with this primitive weapon that they slaughtered the entire secret army armed to the teeth.

At this moment, the "Lizardmen" who had finished the battle gradually gathered around Kihara Evolution, sorting out all the corpses one by one and putting them in a uniform posture.

Neat and uniform, but it looks extraordinarily scary.

"Look," Kihara Evolution's voice sounded again, as if speaking to the people on the camera side, "This is the future, the real new human..."

Then, the communication signal stopped abruptly.

In the conference room, the directors looked at each other.

After a while, someone finally broke the deadlock.

"The new humans he just mentioned are those lizard people?"

"According to the existing intelligence analysis... yes." Kihara Naogen nodded, "It can even be further speculated that the field of expertise of the Gremlin Kihara is evolution theory."

"Evolution... You mean those lizardmen are also human?" Ling Xingye asked.

"That possibility is not ruled out." Kihara Naogen nodded.

"Let's not mention this for now." At this moment, Passy, ​​who had been silent as the background board, jumped out, "First of all, let's raise our vigilance!"

The scene in the conference room was instantly covered with a layer of dark red, like a horror game.

"Now we have to re-evaluate the enemy's strength." Passy said, "The other party has a real Kihara."

As the top leadership organization of Academy City, not many people understand the power and significance of "Kihara" better than them.

Let's put it this way, the directors present may look down on "Gremlin", but they must not underestimate a real "Kihara".

In the "Gremlin" headquarters, Evolution Kihara looked at the miniature cameras neatly arranged in front of him.

There are 85 cameras in total, arranged in a nine-by-nine matrix on the floor, with the remaining four outside the array.

Kihara Evo frowned, staring closely at the four cameras outside the array.

At this moment, the leader of the "Lizardman" stepped forward, noticed Kihara's evolutionary line of sight, followed his line of sight, and immediately understood.

The leader of the "Lizardmen" crushed the four single cameras next to him, and then kicked the wreckage into the distance.

Only the neat nine-nine phalanx remained on the ground.

Kihara Evolution's brow finally eased.

"Very good." Patting the leader of the "Lizardman" on the shoulder approvingly, Kihara Evolution said, "Today's experiment was very successful and met my expectations. Sure enough, you are the real new humans!"

"As for those 'Silver 0'..." Kihara Evolution sneered disdainfully, "It's just a puppet made of human beings!"

"What you said is the truth, Great Professor."

The lizard people praised in unison, like believers facing the gods.

Seeing this scene, Kihara Evolution silently shook his head again——as a civilized species, the "new human" still has the last two flaws.

One is the fanatical belief in oneself as a "creator".

Another is their too-short natural lifespan.

The potential and strength of the new humans are great, but their lifespan can only be calculated in months.

Because the current ecological environment of the earth does not allow them to survive for a long time-new humans should not be a product of this era.

There is only one way to solve this problem.The next step of Kihara's evolution is to transform the ecosystem of the entire planet so that it can match the "new humans".

For this reason, at the cost of the current ecosystem, at the cost of the extinction of most existing creatures including humans, he also wants to move the environment of that billion years later to the present.

The "Great Professor" Kihara Evolution, who has such a grand and terrifying plan, is the leader of the "Gremlin" scientist faction.

Therefore, this faction is also known as "Mad Scientists".

"However, before that..." the obsessive-compulsive, perfectionist Kihara Evolution said suddenly, "There is one small flaw that must be dealt with."

"Professor, do you mean the 'prototype test body'?" asked the new human leader.

"That's right, it's her." Kihara Evolution nodded, "But that's not your prototype."

===Chapter 21 Lily's Worries===

The large screen in the center of the meeting room disappeared, leaving only the participants looking at each other.

"Cough!" Passy coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention, "We must take corresponding measures next, what do you guys think?"

There was a moment of silence.Originally thought that this would be a clean and neat revenge operation, so all members of the council were called to watch the live broadcast.

But who would have expected such a result to happen.

While the mood became heavy, several directors also felt a little fortunate in their hearts-fortunately, they didn't get hotheaded and directly held a press conference to publicize it.Otherwise, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of Academy City.

"Well, think about the good..." Ling Xingye, who was the only one present without any burden, said, "At least I can also test out a boss of the enemy, isn't it nothing?"

"Mr. Ling is right." Director Bei Jimin took over the topic, "Now is not the time to be surprised or depressed. The enemy is there. All we have to do is to make a plan and then take measures."

Passy nodded with a look of deep approval: "The first thing to do is to evaluate the strength and threat level of that Kihara Evolution. Then it is to enhance the defense level of tomorrow's opening ceremony..."

Under the auspices and guidance of Secretary Passy, ​​the meeting went on and went smoothly unexpectedly.

Measures and plans were drawn up and implemented immediately—it has been proved that as long as one is willing, the governing council, the highest authority that controls Academy City, operates with terrifyingly high efficiency!

After half an hour, all the details were finalized, Passy nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the end of the meeting.

The holographic projections of the directors disappeared one after another, and the "conference room scene" gradually faded, returning to the original appearance of the school conference room.

Ling Xingye rubbed the center of his brows, and was about to get up and leave.

"Master Xingye, please wait a moment." But someone stopped him suddenly.

"Passy, ​​are you still there?" Ling Xingye turned around and saw that the projection of the secretary, Patsy, was still here.

"Master Xingye, please take care of the relevant matters!" Paxi walked up to Ling Xingye, and suddenly bowed, like a subordinate facing a superior.

"What?" Ling Xingye was a little confused by his words, "What else is there for me?"
