The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 414: Clues of Fantasy Master 2.0

Not a powerful person, nor a disciplinary committee member, Saten Ruiko is just an ordinary junior high school girl.

She was then sidelined yesterday through a series of incidents due to injury.

This is also the first time Saten Ruiko has the feeling of being "excluded"-compared with those outstanding and capable friends, is she too useless?

With such troubles in mind, she wandered the streets alone, and then saw Ling Xingye's street performance.

In the eyes of Saten Leiko, Ling Xingye is also a very good person, as powerful as Misaka Mikoto, and comes from a famous family.

And because he is a high school student, Ling Xingye is more mature and reliable—sometimes he is even too indifferent, not like a teenager anymore.

So, Saten Renko suddenly had an idea, thinking that he could talk to him and discuss it, and get an answer.

Ling Xingye didn't hide it either, but he didn't participate in the incident with Shirai Heizi and Chuchun Zhuli, so he could only recount what Misaka Mikoto told him on the phone yesterday.

"Everyone is fighting..." Saten Saten couldn't help complaining, "There are so many dangers around us."

"Perhaps it is true," Ling Xingye shrugged, "so don't stay out too late by yourself."

Saten Reniko didn't seem to hear his advice, but looked thoughtfully at the phone in her hand: "Sure enough, the bottom line is that I'm too weak, right?"

If I was stronger, I wouldn't be excluded, but I could go with Misaka Mikoto and the others to rescue Harukami Jinyi and the other children!

"You worry too much." Ling Xingye said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"I think your friendship should not be based on things like 'whether you are strong' or 'whether it is useful'." Ling Xingye said, "You have found the wrong person. You should tell your friends directly about such things. They—the answers you get from them are what you really want, right?"

"But…"

"Do you think they are the ones who look down on the powerless?"

"Of course not!" Saten Ruiko quickly denied.

"Then stop thinking about it." Ling Xingye raised his hand and patted her on the head, "You also have your own value and shining points, and these are the reasons why you can become friends."

"Don't treat me like a child!" Saten Ruiko ran away, then turned around and asked, "My value and shining points? What are the specifics?"

"Such as sunny and cheerful... or something."

"What, just like a vitality idiot..."

"Ask your friends about this kind of thing, I'm not familiar with you."

Back at the apartment, Saten Renko watched the drama again and again, and finally called Chuchun Shili.

The two chatted for a long time, and the topic quickly turned to the urban legend Saten Ruiko was passionate about. She didn't even mention her little displeasure—it just went by.

It wasn't until the phone was almost out of battery that I hung up the phone unsatisfied.

Then, Saten Ruiko uninstalled the "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0" program in a cold sweat.

"I didn't expect this thing to be the focus of Chuchun Shili's investigation..."

Originally, after hearing Ling Xingye's narration, she thought that Misaka Mikoto and the others were just going to rescue Harukami Jinyi and the children. Unexpectedly, the reason for everything is to track down "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0".

"I thought this was not the same thing as the 'Fantasy Master' who caused a commotion during the summer vacation..." Saten Ruiko was still terrified, "It's so dangerous, I almost became the enemy of Uiharu!"

If the price of gaining superpowers is losing friends, then Saten Ruiko would rather be level 0 for the rest of her life.

"However... I really want to have the ability!" Saten Ruiko fell on the bed on his back, looking at the ceiling, "Even if it can be a little more useful."

She suddenly turned her head to look at the dressing table, the beautiful girl doll she used as a dress-up model—this was given to her by Ling Xingye not long ago.

"Speaking of..." Saten Ruiko jumped up and walked in front of the doll, "There is another way to become stronger."

Speaking of which, Saten Ruiko has indeed been using her spare time to learn how to operate puppets recently.

At the same time, the 177th Branch of the Disciplinary Committee.

After hanging up the phone, Hatsuharu Shiri refocused on the computer screen in front of him.

In order to continue to track down "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0", she chose to stay and work overtime.

As for Shirai Heizi, because of the strict access control of the dormitory, he had to go back on time.

"Is it Saten Renko?" Fubo Meiwei, who stayed behind to work overtime, looked up and asked. After all, I talked on the phone for more than an hour in one breath, so I was somewhat concerned.

"Yeah," Chuchun Shili said while typing on the keyboard, "Saten-san is really a little strange today, he doesn't look energetic at school during the day, and ignores me, but he chatted on the phone so late so long…"

"Maybe I'm worried about you?" Gufa Meiwei speculated, "It's been hard for you these days. Come here today, don't go back too late."

"Wait a little longer, I want to make up for the chatting time just now!" Chuchun Shili looked full of fighting spirit, "I can't let the 'Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0' continue to wreak havoc!"

What happened yesterday made her more confident-"Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0" is definitely related to "Hyakki Yakun"!

Gufa Meiwei sighed and did not continue to persuade.

Because the recent attacks based on "Fantasy Hands 2.0" have shown an obvious upward trend, in today's day, there were six more attacks against the Disciplinary Committee.

As the branch with the most information at present, Uiharu Shiri and the others feel that they should take more responsibility.

"Things are getting more and more difficult..." Gufa Meiwei browsed all the plans related to the incident again~lightnovelpub.net~ So far, the attack has caused hundreds of people to be injured, and nine of them targeted our disciplinary committee In twelve cases, thirty-two people were seriously injured and hospitalized. Although we have also successfully captured more than a hundred suspects..."

"But that program was not found in everyone's mobile phone." Chuchun Zhuli continued, "This is the case for 115 consecutive people, and the possibility of them secretly changing their mobile phones or deleting the program can be ruled out."

"And more importantly, the memory of these attackers also has problems. It can be confirmed that all information about 'Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0' has been tampered with or even deleted in a targeted manner!" Gufa Meiwei pushed his glasses , "We might not be able to determine this matter if we hadn't discovered that each of them had conflicting memories during the interrogation."

"Someone has deleted the memories of these people on a large scale!" Chuchun Shili opened an interface, "I specifically searched and investigated the library information, and those who can do this must at least have the ability of level 3 or above. In other words, only two personal…"

"Tokiwadai Middle School's level 5 'Psychological Mastery' - Shokuhou Misaki," Uiharu Shiri said, "and the level 4 high ability user of Changdian Shangji Academy, 'Memory Construction' - Shiranui Hitomi!"
