The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 284: The Phantom of the Unreal

Huge monsters with beast heads and human bodies, huge monsters that seem to have run out of fairy tales, ghostly misty "creatures" that don't have a final shape, and beautiful and charming witches...

All kinds of monsters from the ancient legends of which it is hard to tell which civilization school they belonged to poured out of the forest.

Everyone present was terrified before thinking of running away.

A few bold boys even recognized that quite a few of these demons and ghosts were monster images from popular games.

After their reminders, we found that various other existences seem to correspond to the images in artistic and cultural works.

The scene in front of him was horrifying and weird to the point of absurdity. People don't know whether to cry or laugh.

Fortunately, the situation has stabilized, and when people think about it calmly, they all feel that this is just some kind of prank—in Academy City, such things are not impossible. People's nerves have also been tempered extraordinarily thick.

But Misaka Mikoto and the others felt a chill.

Because Chunshang Jinyi was still walking forward in that strange state.

No matter how you look at it, this scene can't be some kind of "prank", right?

Suddenly the ground shook even more violently.

Two stone men with a height of five or six meters came out. Every step that falls makes people feel a shock under their feet.

"This is not something that can be explained by fantasy or holographic projection..." Hitomi Shiranui reached out to stop the girls and stepped back.

I saw two stone giants clasped their fists and held them high above their heads...

"Run!" Hitomi Shiranui turned around and screamed at the people in the stands.

"Kuroko!" Misaka Mikoto also shouted loudly.

"Understood!" Shirai Kuroko responded tacitly, grabbing Saten Reiko and Uiharu Shiri at the same time, using his ability to move to the road below the stands.

Shiranui Hitomi ignored the girl's struggle, and forcibly grabbed Haruka's jacket, preventing her from approaching any further.

Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 took out coins at the same time, ready to fight.

But others were not so quick to react.

They just watched in astonishment as the two stone giants clasped their fists together and thumped the ground heavily.

There was a muffled bang, and a strong shock like an earthquake came from under the feet, knocking down many people at once.

Immediately afterwards, amidst people's screams, spider webs of cracks covered the stands, and the ground beneath their feet began to crumble.

The stone giant on the left added another kick, and in an instant, most of the stands collapsed and fell downwards.

These two stone giants are real! Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 looked at each other, and then popped out the coins in their hands at the same time.

Two orange rays of light shot out from their fingertips.

The strong wind pressure caused the hair and robe to flutter.

But in the next moment, they were surprised to find that two electromagnetic cannons penetrated through the stone giant's body.

Not piercing through, but simply passing through.

It's like walking through a phantom.

"What's going on here?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise, and then delivered another electric shock, but it still didn't feel like hitting anything.

The two stone giants seemed enraged by their attack, like gorillas, beating their chests with their fists, making a dull sound.

"Be careful, dodge quickly!" Hitomi Shiranui's voice came from behind, "They have no entity!"

In addition to the stone giant, several strange birds and ghosts surrounded him.

More monsters have begun to attack other people, and those with abilities try to fight back, but they also encounter the same situation—their counterattacks cannot be realized, as futile as hitting the air.

The enemy can attack, but my side can't fight back... There is no chance of winning in such a battle!

Unwillingly, Misaka Mikoto pulled up a telescreen, trying to stop these monsters.

The powerful voltage even directly decomposes the air. Fortunately, under the strong output of Misaka Mikoto, the monsters were indeed stopped.

At this time, in "Hundred Ghosts at Night", the banshee who resembles the most human suddenly turned around and looked over.

Seemingly attracted by Misaka Mikoto's performance, she just "walked" over without touching the ground.

This obviously different style of painting is basically a BOSS.

Several girls narrowed their eyes and tensed their nerves.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sakura-colored figure descended from the sky and landed between Misaka Mikoto and the banshee.

If you look carefully, you can see a woman dressed in a gorgeous kimono.

The woman in the kimono wears a pair of high clogs, wears a fox mask on her face, and holds a shamisen instead of a weapon in her hand.

As a geisha performing on stage, this outfit is very suitable; but it is very inappropriate to appear in battle like this.

Not only Misaka Mikoto and the others didn't understand why, even the banshee on the opposite side didn't seem to be able to react, and stopped and looked at her blankly.

"Starry night!" Only Hitomi Shiranui shouted suddenly.

"She's Starry Night?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise.

"I'm a puppet master, miss!" Ling Xingye's helpless voice came from behind.

I saw Ling Xingye leaping up from the bottom of the viewing platform and flying down to the side of the geisha lady.

"It took a little time to catch those falling people just now," Ling Xingye said.

He is also wearing a navy blue men's yukata, standing with the geisha puppets, as if they are going to perform together on stage.

Ling Xingye looked around at the strange scene of demons dancing wildly, and couldn't help saying: "What's going on here?"

Looking at the two stone giants in front of him, Ling Xingye couldn't help feeling guilty: "The puppet who came out of work must not be able to hold it..."

"Where's your sprite?" Misaka Mikoto asked strangely.

"It's being repaired." Ling Xingye asked her while letting go of the flying blade on her wrist, "Is the enemy strong? You didn't just blast it to pieces?"

"Report to the master, the monster in front of me is suspected to have no entity, and the required attacks by Misaka and sister-sama will not be effective. Misaka said proactively."

Ling Xingye flicked his fingers, and the "Flying Blade" swept out.

Sure enough, there is no tactile sensation of touching the real thing.

It's as if the Golem is just a highly realistic holographic effect.

However, when the silk thread came in front of the banshee~lightnovelpub.net~, it was suddenly blocked for a moment, and then it was cut.

The figure of the banshee was cut apart, and after shaking a few times, it returned to its original shape. Looks unscathed.

But Ling Xingye could feel that he had cut something at that moment.

The banshee froze for a moment, then looked at Ling Xingye with a strange expression on her face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Ling Xingye's heart was trembling, and he had already started to arrange space barriers around him, ready to stick to it and wait for help.

But at this moment, the figures of these "hundred ghosts" suddenly dimmed.

A gust of wind blows past, like smoke, dissipating with the wind.

In front of the viewing platform, it was already empty and there was nothing.

The "Hundred Ghosts at Night" just now seems to be just a dream in Nankey, it seems that it never existed.

Only the shattered viewing platform and the wailing and screaming injured still reminded them that everything just now really existed.
