The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 168: crow

"It seems that Xingye didn't really understand "Thousands of Machines"." Sensing Ling Xingye's silence, Baiyin Yao continued, "Then change the way of thinking—strictly speaking, we, Baiyin, are not simply 'puppet masters'. In the foreign classification, we belong to the magic side. So the way we want to become stronger is also very simple, and that is to use the power of spells... That's why I suggested you to make magic changes to sprites before."

"But sister Yao, did you say that just now? It's too late to upgrade the sprites now."

"It's just a way of thinking," Baiyin Yao explained, "Xingye, you have to learn to see the essence of the problem. You are not a mage, and you don't know spells...but you have superpowers—this is something other silver puppet masters don't have, right? In essence, they all belong to the power of the puppet master himself, there is no difference."

"That is to say," Baiyin Yao concluded, "use the puppet platform to display all your abilities and powers as much as possible—this is our Baiyin puppeteer!"

Ling Xingye remained silent.

ability? In fact, the night before yesterday, during his first battle with Accelerator, he had a vague feeling that his abilities had changed. But after I tried again, I found that it was still at level 3—although there was some progress, it was still far from reaching the level of promotion to level 4. So I did not continue to pay attention to this aspect.

But now it seems that the most promising breakthrough is the super power, right?

If the "phase fulcrum" can break through to a level 4 ability, the subsequent battles will be much easier.

"Then, Xingye, think carefully, and I won't disturb you, sister. I really can't beat Accelerator, remember to ask my sister for help!"

After finishing the call, Ling Xingye decided to let go of those headaches and fill his stomach first.

Then I saw Misaka 10001 eager to try, looking like he wanted to talk.

"What's wrong, Misaka? What's the matter?"

"Senior is going to mediate the dispute between the two major gangs today? Misaka is excited about going through a plot that is unique to the story, but she still pretends to speak calmly."

"Ah, yes." Ling Xingye was already used to the way the Misaka sisters spoke. In order to avoid embarrassment, his brain had already put the double quotation marks in front of the modal particles.

"Combined with the information provided by Disciplinary Commissioner Shirai Kuroko yesterday, the main cause of this riot is likely to be the device called 'LevelUpper'. Misaka made a speculation based on the information obtained from the Internet."

"'Fantasy Royal Hand'—Is the ability improved?" Ling Xingye was thoughtful.

"Misaka believes that if the information is true, this device may be used as a measure to enhance strength. Misaka proposes the final conclusion."

"That's right, let's talk about it later." Ling Xingye showed no interest in this regard.

Misaka10001 was puzzled by his bland reaction, and wanted to continue persuading him.

Hitomi Shiranui stopped her and whispered an explanation in her ear.

However, for the Misaka sisters who believe in "efficiency first" and have been promoted at all costs, Ling Xingye's concept and principle similar to "spiritual cleanliness" may be difficult to understand, right?

Ling Xingye didn't intend to explain further, and chewed the bread silently.

"Fantasy... Royal hand?"

"Fantasy royal hand..." Haruo Kiyama stood up in front of the computer with two big dark circles under his eyes, stretched his body vigorously, and drank the cold espresso in the cup.

"The plan seems to be out of my control..." This regrettable woman, who was born beautiful but extremely slovenly, rubbed the center of her brows tiredly.

"Ah, is it already morning!" An exclamation came from the sofa next to him.

Even though he was still shrouded in drowsiness and fatigue, his voice was still clear and flawless.

"You're awake, I'm sorry to keep you busy so late, Yaoshiji-san..."

"It's okay, it's summer vacation anyway." Yakushi Tera Mixi got up from the sofa, while simply combing her blue hair that was messed up due to her sleeping position.

"Mr. Mushan is the one. Are you staying up late to work again?"

"Ah, yes, because I made a breakthrough in research yesterday, I must keep an eye on it." Mushan Haruno stared at the computer screen, "I will apply for overtime subsidies for you, and treat you to dinner when I have a chance—wait for me After the experiment is successful."

She didn't return overnight, and Yaoshiji Meixi didn't stay any longer. Although she has reasonable reasons, if she goes too far, she will be severely punished by the dormitory supervisor, Teacher Yaqin.

"So... I'll go back first." Yakushiji Mixi hurriedly said goodbye, "Mr. Mushan, too, remember to eat and rest well, staying up late is a big taboo for girls!"

After all, Yaoshi Temple Meixi ran out in a hurry regardless of her ladylike image.

"How do I explain to Teacher Yaqin after I go back? Sing a song to her." Yaoshi Temple Meixi thought in her heart. In these days of experiments, she has also gained a lot - using singing to hypnotize and change people's moods. This kind of thing can also be done, "Well, it's still not as convenient as the squad leader's ability."

Because she ran in a hurry, and in the early morning, most of the lights in the corridors of the research institute had not been turned on, Yakushiji Mixi almost bumped into the oncoming staff at the corner of the stairs.

A security guard was walking forward with a cardboard box in his arms.

Yakushiji Mixi hurriedly apologized, and when she bowed, she glimpsed out of the corner of her eye that the name filled in the addressee column of the package was Mr. Kiyama Haruki. As for the sender column, there is a simple image of a crow in it.

It's Dr. Crow's package. It must be an experiment-related facility, right? Yakushiji Mixi thought in her heart.

She couldn't understand those research reports. She only knew that Dr. "Crow" was a very powerful scientist. Even Mr. Mushan admired him, and even changed the outline of the experiment plan repeatedly because of his suggestion.

But... Yakushiji Mixi originally came here to work part-time~lightnovelpub.net~ to earn some pocket money to enjoy the summer vacation, and didn't plan to delve into those too troublesome things.

"Those research reports, only the monitor can understand them, right?" Yaoshi Temple Meixi said to herself, "Oh, and Ling Xingye can also understand them. I'll forget it, after all, those two are geniuses."

Haru Kiyama received the package in her office.

After opening it, I found a mechanical crow with exquisite workmanship inside.

Aluminum feathers, crystal eyes, beak and claws made of stainless steel—it's just lifelike.

The body of the mechanical crow is not completely covered, but many places are hollowed out, exposing the complex internal mechanical structure, which operates in an orderly manner like a clock.

No matter from the perspective of mechanical device or appearance, this mechanical crow can be called a work of art.

After seeing the light of day again, the mechanical crow's eyeballs suddenly turned, like a camera lens, and quickly locked on to Haruno Kiyama.
