The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 345: Ling Xingye's escape

What's the meaning?

Accelerator tried to find the figure of the speaker, but when he looked around, there was only a sea of ​​cherry red petals surging in front of him, and he couldn't even see a gap.

He tried to push the ground to stand up, but only heard a bang, obviously moving upwards, but hit the ground again!

"Is this...magic?"

Accelerator remembered what he had encountered in Sanze School during the summer vacation.

The ground below him suddenly disappeared, and the sea of ​​petals spread out to reveal the outside world.

Accelerator discovered that he was actually at an altitude of thousands of meters!

"It's not magic." The flowers also appeared one after another.

"It's just a simple blindfold. Or it can be called 'illusion'."

"Your abilities are indeed powerful."

"But you're still human after all."

"So you still rely on the five senses for information."

"Then, just fundamentally interfere with the intelligence you've gathered—"

"No matter how strong the ability is, it doesn't make sense..."

Eight people spoke in turn.

Accelerator suppressed the surprise in his heart, and prepared to adjust his falling posture and fight again.

"Now, you can guess," Hua said, "at this moment, is everything you see real?"

Accelerator suddenly raised his head, and immediately after, his back slammed into a hard surface such as the ground or a wall.

He could no longer tell where he was.

Of course, Accelerator can isolate all harmful substances from the outside world and achieve absolute defense. But in order to live a normal life, he still needs to maintain the necessary information sources such as vision and hearing.

But now, he found that his eyes were no longer so reliable.

Ling Xingye was running wildly on the streets at night, beside him, the demon and another dark red puppet were constantly fighting fiercely.

"Run away—is that your answer?" Hua Eryi easily caught up with Ling Xingye and asked beside him.

What responded to her were several flying knives swung by Ling Xingye.

Hua Ershi didn't even move her brows. She didn't see the slightest movement, but suddenly dozens of petals flew out around her, and the two phases staggered and cut off the silk threads one by one.

"Don't play these tricks." Hua Twenty-one said, "You are Yao Haonan's junior, so I will give you a fair chance to fight—we are all puppet masters, so according to the rules, we will use puppets to decide the winner. To ensure Relatively fair, I will not use the special ability of the thousand-petal lotus, and only use the puppet itself to fight."

Ling Xingye didn't reply, but continued to run forward with her head buried.

Can't beat it! After a short fight just now, Ling Xingye confirmed this point.

Ling Xingye positioned himself as a puppet master.

However, in terms of "puppet master", Hua Twenty-one can be said to crush his existence in all aspects.

As soon as the demon and her Thousand Petal Lotus fought, Ling Xingye could feel the difference in level.

——Hua Twenty-One even intentionally weakened the body strength of Thousand Petal Lotus to gain a certain advantage for herself.

"Yao Haonan is one of the few friends I can talk to," Hua Eryi explained, "so it's a bit of special treatment. If you still die unhappily under such circumstances...I think Yao can't blame me gone."

This woman is serious!

Ling Xingye was able to confirm this.

So he made the decision to run away.

"At least...you can't fight in the place she chooses!" Ling Xingye thought to himself.

Ling Xingye doesn't know what kind of fighting style other puppet masters have, but he is the type who is best at arranging the battlefield in advance and accumulating advantages.

So I have to guard against it.

"But your foundation is quite good." Hua Twenty-one praised, "You have been able to stand in a stalemate with me for so long."

Just as he was talking, Ling Xingye suddenly felt a light in his hand—the silk thread he used to manipulate the sprites was cut off!

The sprite suddenly lost control, like a person who fell while running wildly, fell directly on the ground and kept rolling forward.

The silk thread is the Achilles' heel of all silk puppets, but it is also the place where the puppeteer pays most attention to defense.

When fighting against an experienced puppet master, it is even more difficult to cut off the thread that controls his puppet than directly destroying his puppet.

What's more, Ling Xingye did not directly use silk threads to control sprites, but indirectly controlled them through the "phase fulcrum".

So the silk thread he left on the sprite was basically less than half a meter long. It is even more difficult to cut off.

But from the perspective of the combination of Hua Twenty-one and Thousand Petal Lotus, this difficulty is not too high.

Ling Xingye quickly found the broken end of the silk thread, and reconnected to the square of the "phase fulcrum".

The sprite regains control.

But Hua Eryi had caught the flaw, and before he had time to regain his strength, the sprite was kicked in the chest by Qianpetalian, and then bumped into Ling Xingye, and one person and one puppet were kicked out together.

Ling Xingye rolled for a long distance on the hard and rough asphalt road, and the clothes on his body were directly rubbed into a beggar's outfit.

"Who is it!" A shout suddenly came from a car parked by the side of the road, "Fighting and brawling are prohibited!"

It was a fiery red sports car, but the people who got out of the car were wearing the uniform of a guard.

"Which school do you belong to!" The sister guard ran over holding the flashlight, "Stop it all!"

Hua Ershi hesitated for a moment, and Ling Xingye took the opportunity to rush into the side alley with Monster.

Seeing this, Hua Eryi was speechless, and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't run away!" The guard's elder sister roared angrily from behind.

But neither of these two people is the type to be obedient.

"This is the end of tonight's sideshow." Hua Twenty-one said, the puppet thousand-petal lotus turned into petals all over the sky, and disappeared out of thin air, "The rest will be left to you."

"Understood, Ling Xingye's location has been locked, and the closest sister is being dispatched to track it down." A response came from the earphone immediately.

"Yao's junior is not weak, you all should be careful and don't be careless." Hua Eryi warned again, "The official action will be three days later, so don't force him to punish him now."

"clear."

"Continue to hunt down Accelerator, even if you can't kill him, make it impossible for him to continue killing the Misaka clone."

"clear."

"Kakine Teitoku's main focus is on tracking, trying to find the base of his employer—Kihara's large number."

"clear."

As Hua Twenty-one walked, he gave various instructions.

"Also," she suddenly asked emphatically, "how are the two girls doing?"

"Misaka clone~lightnovelpub.net~ The 10001st and 10002th individuals have been successfully accepted." Such a response came from the headset.

"Misaka 10001 showed some hostility..."

"It's very hostile, right?" Hua Eryi smiled, "After all, that child regards Ling Xingye as his master."

"...That's right, and it has quite a bit of fighting power, but it has been subdued by us."

Hua Blackjack nodded, and then asked again: "Although I don't hold out any hope, let me ask, did you get any information?"

"I'm sorry, Misaka 10001 has left the experimental institution and has been blocked by information, so there are only some outdated information." A reply came from the earphone, "And Misaka 10002 has entered a forced coma and cannot obtain effective information."

"That's it." Hua Twenty-one was not disappointed, "Just keep an eye on them."

When the time comes, there will be information.
