The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 518: Ling Xingye's Puppet Theater

The automatic puppets killed by Misaka Mikoto and Front Kaze were all severely damaged, and the suspected liquid in their bodies dissipated completely, almost equivalent to "death".

But in Ling Xingye's hands, as long as there are silk threads and "phase fulcrums", they can be pieced together and the ability to move can be restored.

It's like a bunch of puppet versions of Stitchers.

However, under Ling Xingye's arrangement and arrangement, these cobbled together puppets are not ugly, and even conform to a certain basic aesthetic.

At first glance, it looks like a group of gorgeously dressed actors are making their debut.

The puppets made steady progress toward the center of the stage.

Ling Xingye stared at Baoliang closely, neither he nor Yaoyao moved.

But the other puppets around them suddenly started dancing at the same time.

With silent accompaniment, the puppets make exaggerated and gorgeous movements, as if they want to focus all the attention of the audience on them.

They are performing a stage play, but there is a certain order in the chaos.

The inexplicable dance made Bao Liang feel uneasy. Although he was very interested in Ling Xingye's performance, he didn't intend to continue to let it go.

The edge of the stage suddenly opened the door, and the automatic puppets belonging to Baoliang swarmed out.

But before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by Ling Xingye.

...Ling Xingye did not manipulate his puppet to fight against it, but instead devoted himself to performing his "stage play".

But those automatic puppets, as if they had encountered a ghost hitting a wall, circled around the stage non-stop, rampaging, and even collided with each other. But he just couldn't get close to Ling Xingye and his puppets!

Bao Liang showed a more interested expression.

"Is this... interfering with my space manipulation?"

"Because from now on, this is my stage." Ling Xingye said, "Welcome to the Puppet Theater!"

The movements of the puppets became faster and faster, and finally they performed at three times the speed as if the fast-forward button was pressed.

Without the help of Chihiro Isshiki and Meixi Yakushiji, the whole performance didn't have a single sound, it was just a mime.

But Ling Xingye also has ten years of experience in performing puppet shows on stage, and his skills have long been perfected, so it is not a problem at all that there is no dubbing.

The puppets he manipulated told the plot with exaggerated body movements...

And the audience quickly understood.

This is a very classic, or old-fashioned story—roughly summed up, it is a story such as "Dragon Quest", "The Brave Fights the Demon King", etc., which have been expressed to the point of failure by various art forms.

The stage is constructed and the actors are ready—

The simple dolls made by Ling Xingye are ordinary villagers and victims of the devil's torture.

Those puppets made of wreckage are the army gathered to defeat the Demon King.

Among them, the few puppets that retain their original combat power are the companions of the brave—swordsman A, archer B, priest C and dwarf warrior D.

As for the brave, of course they are sprites.

In the end, Bao Liang, the villain of the whole story, is of course played by the devil.

Ling Xingye used a fast-forward performance to narrate the pre-plot - the demon king harassed the villagers; the king sent an army to attack, but was defeated; then, the brave man and his companions appeared on the stage, and the journey to defeat the demon king officially began...

This is where the official plot begins.

The "brave" sprite and its companions rushed towards the "devil king" Baoliang.

This time, Baoliang conjured up walls and shields to block the attack. But the magic of "manipulating space" was not used again.

Seeing this, Ling Xingye was determined.

"No matter what you are outside, but on my stage, you play the role of the devil. You can be strong, but you can't be invincible!" Ling Xingye said.

This is Ling Xingye's "Puppet Theater", a method he created inspired by Bao Liang's "Magic Theater".

The principle and meaning are unknown, but Ling Xingye's brain flashed, and he instinctively realized that this method is feasible!

During Misaka Mikoto's arrival at level 6, Ling Xingye in the second personality successfully manipulated Thunder.

Although Ling Xingye himself lost consciousness at the time and had no relevant memories. But it is not difficult to find this fact in hindsight.

This proved to Ling Xingye that certain "illusory" things can indeed be manipulated, and he can indeed do this "by himself".

So, Ling Xingye began to think about whether he could manipulate some special things.

Like...the concept of stage and performance.

Finally, this "puppet theater" was born.

Use multiple puppets to perform simultaneously, build a stage, and tell a story.

Then, force the target in, become part of the play, play one of the roles.

At this time, the role setting becomes the chain that binds the target, forcing the target to perform "reasonable" performances-of course, combat is also included.

It is precisely because of this restraint that Baoliang lost the ability to "manipulate space".

However, the magic range of "Playing Time" is limited, and it is not suitable for use in battle.

Therefore, it can only rely on "playing with matter" for defense.

Although still powerful, it is no longer unsolvable.

Ling Xingye was like a background board, standing motionless on the stage.

And behind him and above his head, there are thousands of small cubes that others cannot see. Each small cube is connected with one or several silk threads, interwoven into a complex and delicate network in the air.

All the cubes are like a whole, moving in an orderly manner. At the same time, the puppets below are performing lifelike performances.

All the silk threads are finally gathered to form ten bundles, symbolically connected to Ling Xingye's ten fingers.

Although Ling Xingye didn't move, the entire stage and all the "actors" surrounded him.

After a fierce fight, all the "Kingdom Soldiers" were wiped out, and the "Companions of the Brave" were also injured and injured. Only Priest C remained intact.

On the other side, Bao Liang, the "devil king", was finally injured, and his tuxedo became tattered, and he could no longer maintain his demeanor as a magician.

At this time, the "brave man" raised his arms and shouted to boost morale.

The puppets who had fallen to the ground stood up unsteadily again.

With Ling Xingye's ability ~lightnovelpub.net~ as long as it is not completely damaged, there is always a way to put it together again.

Moreover, the automatic puppets who were spinning around outside the "puppet theater" and could not enter were also knocked down one after another by Ling Xingye, and dragged into the theater to become new actors.

As the situation ebbs and flows, Bao Liang finds himself trapped in the middle of the stage and has to continue to play the role of the "devil king". The injuries on the body gradually accumulated.

Even though he was still in his own "magic theater", he was actually given the home court advantage by a fledgling puppet master from the other side?

This is the first time for Baoliang.

It stands to reason that it is almost impossible for this situation to occur—you must know that Yanshi is a "god" in his "Fangcun Mountain".

Unless... it is a direct collision with another "square inch mountain" or "pot middle world".

"Ling Xingye..." Bao Liang looked at Ling Xingye again, "This little brat has begun to grasp his own 'Pot in the Realm'!"
