Academy City's Puppet Master

Kihara evolved to see her thoughts, and snorted coldly: "So, you betrayed the organization?"

"No! How could I betray the organization?" Lily quickly argued, her skin and hair turned red because of her excitement.

The temperature in the store also increased.

Kihara Evolution looked up at her, casting a cold gaze.

The cooling came to an abrupt end.

Evolution Kihara snorted coldly: "Then why did the person who helped Hitomi Shiranui and attacked 'Gremlin' together—that black dwarf named Marion."

"I didn't know she had become one of us—she was obviously a magician." Lily complained. "I was never notified."

Kihara Evo stared at her for a while: "Okay, you can explain this one."

"Now, in order to prevent this from happening again," Evolution Kihara said with a smile, "this time I will personally give the order... In this way, there will be no more excuses, right?"

"No more!" Lily shook her head biting the bullet, without showing any more expressions.

"Tomorrow, disrupt the opening ceremony." Evolution Kihara said.

"Yes..." Lily said quickly, "But there are a lot of strong people here, so I can't guarantee..."

"You have to promise." Kihara Evolution interrupted her, and said indifferently, "Actually, it's not difficult for you—just attack your school tomorrow."

"My... you mean the School of Advanced Computer Science?" Lily asked in surprise, "You let me attack my alma mater?!"

"That's right." Evolution Kihara replied, "Although you are only the eighth, with your ability, even if Accelerator is present, you can destroy at least half of the school!"

As long as Changdian Shangji Academy, one of the five famous schools, is attacked and suffers heavy losses, the opening ceremony will definitely be greatly affected.

Lily sat on the seat, silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "I... will do it!"

Kihara Evolution chuckled: "After all, it's still an unfinished product, and its heart is just like a child—Lily, you won't lie at all."

"I'm not lying!" Lily argued, "I'll do my best!"

"That depends on your actions."

After receiving the task, Lily left quickly, not even willing to wait for half a second.

After Lily left, two people stood up from a nearby table and approached Kihara Evolution.

"Professor, what are your orders?"

"That child is useless, let's deal with it as soon as possible." Kihara Evolution said coldly.

===Chapter 23 New Human Evolution Plan===

Kihara Evolution indifferently gave the order to remove Lily, just like cleaning up a piece of debris.

The two who received the order were not surprised, as if they had expected this decision.

"However, she is a powerful user after all..." One of them said hesitantly, "It is likely that there will be a big disturbance, and here is the enemy's base camp..."

The other nodded sympathetically.

It is worth mentioning that these two people have no doubts about the fact that they can eliminate Lily. The only thing that bothers them is the "possible trouble".

"No," Kihara Evolution said calmly, "Use the equipment provided for you—that is the special weapon to restrain her."

"Since the big professor said so..." The two stopped talking nonsense, "We will definitely live up to our mission!"

"Go." Kihara Evolution waved his hand.

The two touched the pistols in their respective arms. Although they still had doubts, they turned and left.

At the same time, in every corner of the coffee shop, a large group of people stood up again, dressed almost in the same way, and walked out of the shop together.

Seeing his favorite works set off one after another, Evolution Kihara nodded in satisfaction, and picked up the coffee again.

"It's time to make a conclusion." Kihara Evolution said, "The legacy of the previous era should finally leave the stage."

Lily Mezas is the first generation of experimental subjects, and also the first successful case in the "New Human Evolution" project.

Of course, the so-called "New Human Evolution" project is a project hosted by Kihara Evolution.

But before he joined, the research project was actually a "superpower development" project led by the "Xavier School for Gifted Youth".

Since they are envious of the superpowers in Academy City, the United States naturally wants to have its own superpowers——this project was established against this background.

However, Academy City's superpower system is based on the research and analysis of the "Original Stone".

The professors at Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters were unaware of this relationship, and it was difficult to find rare "rough stones."So that the progress of research is slow.

Eventually, they were forced to think of other ways.

Instead of developing the superpowers of existing human beings, start from the root and "manufacture" superpowers.

That is to say, through gene editing, qualified abilities are cultivated from embryos.

For this reason, they spent a considerable amount of money to get the gene samples of capable people from Academy City, and then use this as a blueprint to modify and edit the genes of the target embryos.

To be honest, this is not really "development", but more like imitation and copying.

But even so, their experiments all ended in failure.

Until later, the "big professor" Kihara Evolution airborne halfway, bringing a brand new plan and his own research results.

Finally got the only successful case - Lily Mezas, code-named "Enemy of Thermodynamics".

Based on the experience and data obtained from the Lily project, Kihara Evolution further improved its own theory and started the next step of research.

Kihara Evolution's own theory is even more radical.Previous professors only thought of editing genes, but Kihara Evolution went a step further, narrowing the research target from "genes" to protein molecules and even smaller basic atoms.

He wants to truly start from scratch and reproduce the evolutionary path.

The final result is the group of "new humans" who look like lizardmen.

Those who are going to assassinate Lily now are these lizardmen.

Nowadays, "real new humans" have appeared, and the technology is mature and stable; then, as the first generation of works, Lily, who is essentially an ordinary human, seems very obtrusive.

As a perfectionist, Kihara Evolution does not allow the existence of "pollution" of his own research results in this world, even if it is a precious and powerful level 5.

"Facts will prove that the development route of Academy City is wrong." Evolution Kihara looked out the window and muttered to himself, "And the only one who is right is me!"

……

Lily left the coffee shop and walked back with heavy thoughts.

When facing the big professor just now, because she was intimidated by the opponent's long-standing aura, Lily's brain was almost blank, and she had no time to think too much.

Now that she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she realized that she had made an incredible promise!

——Are you going to attack Nagataka Computer Academy at tomorrow's opening ceremony!

"Crazy?" Lily murmured to herself.I don't know if I'm talking about myself, or the great professor Kihara Evolution, "How could I do that kind of thing?"

In all fairness, Lily has no intention of betraying her own organization—whether it is the Xavier School for Gifted Youth or the current "Gremlin".

But on the other hand, she doesn't want to hurt her current school and classmates.

As I said before, Changdian Shangji Academy made her feel the concept of "home" and "companion" for the first time.

"It's not good, what should I do?" Lily was so confused that she didn't notice that she had unknowingly walked to a remote and uninhabited open space.

Lily had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and for some reason, a figure suddenly jumped out—it was because of him that she skipped class and ran out to hang out today.

"Looking for Ling Xingye?" Lily stopped, and she believed from the bottom of her heart that the man must have a solution to her problem.

"No, no, no," Lily shook her head hastily, "Isn't this tantamount to betrayal? I wouldn't...huh?"

After stopping for a while, Lily finally noticed something abnormal around her.

There was a flash of light in the eyes, and the pupils instantly became crystal blue.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

There was only a series of "click, click" sounds in the air, but the water vapor in the air condensed and turned into sharp ice crystals suspended beside her.

"Humph!"

Lily pushed back the strands of hair in front of her body, and her crystal-clear hair drew beautiful arcs in the air.

While shaking her head sassyly, she looked around calmly.

In the thermal vision, the enemies hidden around have nowhere to hide.

Without hesitation, Lily immediately drove the ice crystals to shoot at all enemies.

Bang bang bang!

Driven by a level 5, the power of ice crystals is comparable to small caliber shells.

Although it was a saturated cover attack, what Lili didn't expect was that this round of shooting didn't hit any enemies!

The moment he attacked, he saw those hidden enemies jumping out at the same time.

All of them seem to be at double speed, constantly tossing and turning, and even stepping on the air to perform double jumps!

It's like a group of characters in the game came to reality, playing a super-difficult barrage dodge game.

If there are only one or two people, Lily will definitely think this is their super power.

But right now, twenty or thirty figures dodge and move with the same movement and agility, which is beyond Lily's comprehension.

For no reason, Lily thought instinctively—these people are "the same kind" as herself to some extent.

She was startled suddenly, and she didn't dare to continue thinking - because that meant that the one who really wanted to attack her was the great professor!

I saw those enemies dodging while quickly approaching.

Just when Lily was about to launch an offensive again, she saw the enemies pulling out their pistols in unison and aiming at them.

===Chapter 24 Particle Motion===

Facing the enemy's barrage attack, Lily immediately created an ice wall around her to block it.

Although the strength of the ice wall is limited due to the lack of special equipment, it is still no problem to deal with mere pistol bullets.
