The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 112: Uncertain future

Tu Fanghu and Ling Xingye met in the same research institute. Before Ling Xingye entered Changdian Shangji Academy, they were both "colleagues" of the research institute—in other words, they were the researchees.

However, due to the ambiguous nature of Ling Xingye's ability, after two years of research with no results, the research institute has given up the research on "phase fulcrum" and turned to fully develop related applications of "wave current disturbance"—Before Ling Xingye A series of fire extinguishing grenades that have been used are the main products of the research institute.

Now, the research institute has become Ling Xingye's special props development and production organization.

Many high-tech materials, such as the "flying blade" in Ling Xingye's hand and the upgrade armor for the sprites, were originally obtained from the research institute.

That being the case, the long sword in Tufang's guard is also absolutely extraordinary.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a magic weapon. The sword in the stick actually has only one edge. It is technically a sword, but in Japan, the difference between swords and swords is not very obvious.

The blade of this knife is the legendary "monomolecular layer", that is, the so-called monomolecular edge. Theoretically, there is nothing it can cut continuously, even Ling Xingye's "Flying Blade" is slightly inferior compared to it.

Of course, in order to ensure the overall strength of the blade, only the blade is coated with a monomolecular coating, making its sharpness far from the theoretical value, but it is more than enough in normal combat.

Not to mention the flesh and blood of the human body, even steel and iron bones can be cut cleanly.

Faced with the sudden attack, Yan Shijia still seemed calm and unhurried.

Disturbed by the air flow, he couldn't dodge the slash of the earth guard, so he raised his left arm.

There was a soft and elastic touch from the earthwork gauntlet. The monomolecular blade, which is indestructible and indestructible, failed to cut off the opponent's arm?

He quickly adjusted the angle, changed it from cutting to peeling, and only then peeled off a large piece of skin on the opponent's arm.

Under the skin, there is no blood and muscle tissue, but a layer of deep metallic luster.

Only then did Yuan Shanyao exclaim - it turns out that he is also a robot!

She had previously thought that Yan Shijia was the human commander in that group of robots.

"Good knife and knife skills." Yan Shijia praised calmly, "However, it's about the same as Baiyin's silk blade."

After finishing speaking, Yan Shijia suddenly grasped the blade with his backhand.

The guardian of the earth turned pale with fright, and quickly wanted to withdraw the sword in the stick, but the blade seemed to be stuck in the palm of the robot, unable to move.

Yan Shijia's palm was so strong that he actually crushed the blade.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his palm into a knife, and slashed at Tufang's neck guard fiercely!

blood splatter...

"Ah!!" Yuan Shanyao fell to the ground, covering his head and screaming.

...

no!

This future must not be allowed to happen!

Yuan Shanyao pursed his lips tightly to keep himself from making a sound. Because of too much force, a faint smell of blood spread on the tip of the tongue.

Looking up, a boy who was wearing a long-sleeved jacket and trousers even at noon, with sunglasses on his face, and a walking stick in his hand was coming from a distance...

You can't let Tu Fanghu "repeat the same mistakes", you have to tell him not to mess around!

Yuan Shanyao stared at each other closely, shaking his head slightly.

"What's the matter, is it someone you know?" Yan Shijia noticed her movements and asked.

"En." Yuan Shanyao nodded, and suddenly approached him proactively, holding his arm in an intimate pose.

"Blind?" Yan Shijia knew that this girl wanted to prevent herself from hurting her, "You keep quiet and don't mess around, it's fine."

"Yeah." Yuan Shanyao nodded.

The touch from the crook of the arm reminded Yuan Shanyao that this is a robot.

The footsteps of the earth guard were slower than usual, just like a real blind person, patiently and meticulously beating the ground with his guide stick.

When Yuan Shanyao held the man beside him, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Then he turned his head to the side and seemed to be listening carefully to what was going on in front of him.

Then, as always, he walked forward in a straight line.

Toyama Haruka watched him nervously, desperately trying to convey his warning with his gaze.

Da, da, da, da...

But the earth guardian turned a blind eye and rushed towards them as if there was no one else around.

Yan Shijia frowned, took the initiative to step aside, and pulled Yuan Shanyao to escape together.

"..." Tu Fanghu turned his head sideways and listened carefully again, "Is there anyone in front?"

Even though he asked, he didn't intend to wait for a reply, and rushed straight forward—towards the distant mountains.

"Sorry, there are people here." Yan Shijia stopped him in time, forbidding him to touch Yuan Shanyao.

The earth guard was caught off guard and almost staggered, but fortunately he supported himself with a blind stick in time.

"Why is there no sound when walking in broad daylight?" Tu Fanghu complained, breaking away from the other's arm in a very angry manner, and continued to walk forward.

Yuan Shanyao looked back, but saw Tu Fanghu walking away without any hesitation.

While letting out a long sigh of relief in my heart, I couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.

After walking away, the earth guard lowered his head and looked at the thing in his palm—it was a cylindrical box about the size of a AA battery. The rotating hatch slid open, and inside was a stack of coin-sized patches.

At the moment when she met Yuan Shanyao just now, a patch had already been attached to her body silently.

Tu Fanghu nodded and put away the box: "Although I don't know what happened..."

He raised his hand and tapped on the frame of the sunglasses—the molecular tracker, and started it.

An orange mark clearly appeared on the lens in front of his eyes.

It's like a winding ribbon, starting from his palm and extending behind him. Hijikata knew that the other end of the "ribbon" was on the girl named Yuan Shanyao.

The earth guard remained calm, and continued to **** forward at the unhurried speed just now.

It wasn't until he turned a corner and completely out of sight of Yuan Shanyao and the mysterious man that he quickened his pace again and returned to his normal pace.

While striding forward, Tu Fanghu dialed Ling Xingye's phone number.

"Hey~lightnovelpub.net~ Xingye, something is wrong here." Hijikata stopped in front of the zebra crossing, as if waiting for a traffic light, "...No, it's not me, but the girl named Yuan Shanyao, Yes, that is the one I met at noon yesterday, she is your classmate, right?"

The green light at the zebra crossing was already on, but the earth guard turned a blind eye and continued to talk on the spot - but his identity is "blind", and it is normal not to see the change of the signal light.

"...I think Yuan Shanyao was threatened and kidnapped."

The earthwork guard looked at the "ribbon" and the map presented on the lens for positioning.

"I'm going to rescue that girl, how about you?"

He asked like this, but he already knew Ling Xingye's answer in his heart - after all, Ling Xingye was his friend, and the so-called friend was the gathering of the same kind, like raccoon dogs.

Sure enough, the earth guardian received a satisfactory answer as expected.

"Okay, I've done the marking and tracking, and now I'm going back to make up the equipment." The earth guard strode across the zebra crossing, "We meet at the entrance of the coffee shop opposite the research institute."
