The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 358: Ling Xingye's justification

"One o'clock direction..."

"There is a wall ahead, just rush over it..."

"Ten meters ahead, there is a door towards three o'clock..."

Ling Xingye followed behind Accelerator and kept giving orders.

"Don't order me to do things!" Fang Tongxing shouted viciously, but he didn't intend to do anything.

"Calm down," Ling Xingye seemed to know that the other party would not attack him, so he said calmly, "You are going astray..."

Just as he was talking, Accelerator bumped into the wall next to the gate.

Ling Xingye sighed helplessly and had no choice but to follow.

He has been using Accelerator's power to open the way, intending to cross the building and escape through the exit on the other side.

Next to the restaurant is a department store, and next door is a jewelry store.

At this moment, Accelerator just broke into the vault of the jewelry store.

"Wow..." After recognizing where he was, Ling Xingye couldn't help being speechless, "Are you a robber now?"

Ling Xingye shook his head, and rushed forward: "Next, I'll open the way myself... don't create unnecessary damage anymore."

"Are you looking down on me?"

"I just think your destructive power is too great." Ling Xingye responded without turning his head, "The primary purpose now is to escape, not to wreak havoc!"

"If you don't want to bump into strange places, just follow me closely." Ling Xingye said.

Accelerator seemed to want to explode, but he still exercised restraint and followed Ling Xingye obediently.

He used "vector operation" to enhance the sensitivity to specific sound waves, and used it to capture and track Ling Xingye's footsteps—since vision is unreliable, he can only rely on other senses.

He doesn't know when the illusion on his body will fade away, so he cooperates with Ling Xingye by default.

Compared with Accelerator's rampage, Ling Xingye's operation is much more refined and slender.

He didn't deliberately destroy the wall structure, but chose to walk through the door—use the "flying blade" to cut through all the locks blocking the way, and broke through all the doors along the way almost without hindrance.

Moreover, Ling Xingye deliberately took some detours, using the damage marks left by Accelerator as a cover to delay the speed of the pursuers behind him.

Finally, after cutting the last bolt, the sprite opened the shutter door, revealing the bustling streets outside.

"Huh, you're done!" Ling Xingye let out a long sigh of satisfaction, "We won!"

"You just ran away from those women, how dare you say you won?" Yifang Accelerator sneered, not knowing whether he was targeting Ling Xingye or laughing at himself, "And, how do you know they won't continue to chase after you?"

The sudden opening of the store door caught the attention of passers-by on the road.

So the two quickly and quietly closed the door and walked away.

Fortunately, the shops in this area are closed, so not many passers-by come here specifically. Otherwise, the combination of a puppet and two blood-soaked teenagers would definitely attract attention.

"I'm pretty sure they won't hunt and kill here."

The clothes on Ling Xingye's body were also tattered, stained red with blood. However, due to the effect of the silver blood in his body, his injuries have all recovered.

Unlike Accelerator, who is next to him, he can only rely on "vector operation" to control blood flow to stop bleeding. The wound itself was still exposed and looked horrific.

Ling Xingye took out a coat from the broken travel bag and put it on, and put the monster into the bag reluctantly, making a good disguise.

Then, he looked at Accelerator walking side by side.

"You should go to the hospital."

Ling Xingye suggested, and also threw him a coat.

"It looks like you were educated badly."

"Hmph," Accelerator turned his head, "I have roughly figured out their attack methods, and I won't be disturbed anymore!"

Then, Accelerator frowned again, put on the coat Ling Xingye gave him, and asked at the same time: "Do you know those women? They are also clones, right?"

"Yes," Ling Xingye nodded, "Although they are not a product of Academy City, I think they are essentially the result of similar technologies. In contrast, they are more in line with the original purpose of human cloning."

— as mass-produced fighters for war.

"I saw that they used props similar to puppets," said Yifang Accelerator, "It really has something to do with you, right?"

"I don't understand. It's understandable that I was attacked by them, but you..." Accelerator looked at him, "Why are you also being hunted down?"

When he was first attacked by flowers, when he saw the humanoid puppets formed by the gathering of flower petals, Accelerator once thought they were the helpers Ling Xingye had found.

It turned out that Ling Xingye was also being hunted down!

This made Accelerator deeply confused, and even aroused a rare curiosity.

Ling Xingye was silent for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth.

Although he and Yifang Accelerator were in a state of mutual hostility, he didn't want to hide or lie to Yifang Accelerator only on this matter.

"Ha!" After listening to Ling Xingye's narration, Fang Accelerator laughed out loud, "So that's how it is...So you also..."

"I've only heard that the dragon slayer will eventually turn into a dragon—I thought you would follow in my footsteps, but in the end...you are that dragon yourself!" Fang Accelerator said, "So, you worked so hard Is it for repentance and redemption to stop me?"

Ling Xingye stared ahead with a stern expression: "You misunderstood, I never considered myself guilty. I didn't kill anyone."

As if for emphasis, he reiterated his point: "While I did kill a dozen flowers, they were not human—just something in the shape of a 'flower'."

Yifang Accelerator sneered: "It's the first time I know, and you're going to argue like that... I'm a little disappointed."

"It's not sophistry, it's just stating the facts." Ling Xingye retorted seriously, "Although no one will believe it except me, I still have to explain clearly—I didn't kill people~lightnovelpub.net~The flowers I killed , are not human!"

"In my opinion, the flowers that chased us just now are human beings," Ling Xingye pointed at the shop left behind, "similarly, the Misaka sisters who were killed by you are also human beings."

"However, the flowers I encountered at that time - they are not human beings! The only thing I must emphasize!"

"Ah, that's right..." Fang Accelerator turned his head away, with a look of lack of interest, "After all, what's the matter with Mr. Guan Ben? You can explain it however you like—but when we meet next time, Ben Uncle won’t be merciful anymore and play Dragon Quest with you.”

Ling Xingye was not surprised by Accelerator's change of attitude: "Don't say it as if you have been letting me go. And now I am letting you go-you have reached the limit, right? Losing so much blood, you can still Maintaining a clear mind and ability to act... is the result of precise manipulation of every red blood cell in the body? Do you still have the strength to cope with the battle?"

Ling Xingye shook his head and walked in another direction: "Bye, be careful on the road, don't be beaten to death by those women!"
