The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 658: Sudden encounter

23:45.

Ling Xingye looked at the time, and after a while, it would be the duel day agreed in the gauntlet.

"It seems that the water behind will not make a surprise attack." Ling Xingye picked up his travel bag and was about to leave the abandoned street that was the battlefield.

Over the past few days, the information from Kanzaki Kaori and Sister Yang has greatly enriched Ling Xingye's understanding of the person behind Zhishui.

Although he is an enemy, the water in the rear is the type to act honestly.

In other words, it can also be considered extremely conceited, so I disdain to use such small means as sneak attack.

Now that the gauntlet has been issued, he will definitely come to kill him dignifiedly at the appointed time.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have to wait here." Ling Xingye said to himself.

The time agreed in the gauntlet is ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

So Ling Xingye decided to go back and take a good rest to recharge his batteries for the decisive battle.

The battle was imminent, but Ling Xingye was very calm.

The enemy this time is indeed very strong, but compared to the previous undeclared wars and surprise attacks, Ling Xingye felt very relieved to receive the letter of war in advance and have time to prepare.

He's a puppeteer, and as a stage performer, the thing he hates most is the unexpected.

The venue, props, audience and even opponents... Prepare everything, and then perform smoothly and orderly according to the script-this is Ling Xingye's favorite situation.

It's a pity that in the past, whether it was the book competition or all kinds of messy events since the summer vacation, they were almost all sudden encounters, and he was not given much time to prepare.

"Although it's really annoying to suddenly come out and say that you want to kill me," Ling Xingye said to himself, "but as an enemy, you still know the rules."

Ling Xingye walked on the street at a leisurely pace, feeling unexpectedly relaxed. He feels that he is in good condition, as long as he sleeps well tonight, he will definitely be able to perform perfectly tomorrow.

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange incongruity out of the corner of his eye.

The same dare to appear on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road.

Ling Xingye turned his head to look, and saw a tall and strong man among the pedestrians on the opposite side, standing there like an outlier, and looking at himself.

The figure is one aspect, the key is the strong sense of presence exuded from him.

The pedestrians around didn't feel it yet, but Ling Xingye was no stranger to this feeling.

That is the aura of a strong man...

"Ah, here comes a troublesome feeling." Ling Xingye said to himself.

In the past two days, Ling Xingye has seen all kinds of information about the water behind, including photos.

"I just said that you are very disciplined..."

Unexpectedly, the other party appeared at this time. It happened to be when Ling Xingye was most relaxed and almost unguarded.

The water in the back obviously also saw Ling Xingye.

Across a four-lane road, the eyes of the two met and collided.

"Ling Xing Ye!" The voice of the water behind seemed to ring directly in his ears.

The passers-by around him also noticed something strange, and couldn't help speeding up their steps to move away from this bear-like burly man.

The road was full of traffic, and because it was late at night, there was an endless stream of large construction vehicles headed for the thirteenth school district.

The large vans coming and going cut the sight of the two of them again and again.

But neither Ling Xingye nor the water behind did not look away, let alone other actions.

It is like two sculptures standing quietly on both sides of the road.

Another truck drove by.

Finally, Ling Xingye made a move.

Not daring to be careless, he fixed his eyes on Zhishui behind him, and slowly took out the phone from his pocket with his right hand.

One-key speed dial, directly connected to the main server of "mail sending and receiving".

"Order, lock my location and evacuate all personnel within a three-kilometer radius."

Ten seconds later, among the pedestrians coming and going, someone suddenly lowered their heads to check their mobile phone emails.

And there are a lot of people.

Then, the people who read the mail looked up and looked around, then stepped away from here, and called other passers-by to leave together.

Several gangs of delinquent teenagers rushed into the shops on the street, and after a while, all the shops closed their doors.

There wasn't much commotion, and the evacuation went so smoothly that even Ling Xingye was a little surprised.

During this period, the water behind seemed not to notice what was happening around him, allowing pedestrians to flee here.

As everyone knows, the water behind was caught off guard by this sudden encounter.

He really didn't think about a surprise attack, and he came to Academy City half a day early, just to avoid being late, and to allow time for finding and locking the target.

But he didn't expect to find Ling Xingye himself so easily.

The Water in the Back had no intention of starting the fight now, but obviously the other side didn't think so.

The moment the eyes of the two collided, he felt that Ling Xingye had entered a combat state of full alert, and could attack at any time.

In the face of the enemy's reaction, it is naturally impossible for the water in the rear to remain indifferent.

To be honest, he didn't mind the duel being early.

At the same time, the water behind also secretly used the technique of "expelling idlers" to avoid involving irrelevant people in the ensuing battle.

On the opposite side, Ling Xingye seemed to have taken a similar action, and the process of clearing the field was extremely smooth.

Both of them clearly realized that the moment when all passers-by left was the moment when they started fighting.

Finally, ten minutes later, Ling Xingye's phone vibrated.

The news of "clearing the field" came.

Another truck passed between the two of them.

After the truck passed~lightnovelpub.net~ Ling Xingye disappeared, and those who remained in place were puppets and monsters.

The sprite raised his head, and the ghost faced the water behind him, seeming to show a smile.

boom!

Regardless of the amount of water behind, he pulled out the street lamp pole and swung it towards him with a gust of bad wind.

The sprite popped out the wrist knife, and cut off the light pole with a wave of his hand. Then rush forward.

Similarly, Rear Water also rushed onto the road, and pulled out his exclusive weapon from the shadow—a huge five-meter-long metal rod in the shape of a knight's gun.

Judging by its size, it is no smaller than the light pole just now. And it has powerful performance that street light poles can't match.

With two bangs, the sprite's wrist knife failed to cut through the metal stick again, so he turned to one side to avoid the blow.

The missed blow hit the road, and there was only a bang, the ground under his feet trembled, and even the glass windows of the shops on the street shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The truck that had just passed also jumped suddenly, and then the driver was seen sticking his head out in surprise and looking back.

The sprite kicked out a piece of gravel, which flew past the driver's nose like a cannonball and smashed the truck's rearview mirror.

The driver screamed, quickly retracted his head, switched to manual driving, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and fled.

Spooky took the opportunity to step on the metal stick and attack the water behind him.

The water behind didn't even look at it, just swung the metal stick with one hand, the sudden huge force directly overturned the sprite, and without giving him any chance to breathe, another acceleration directly hit the sprite.

The sprites flew upside down.

The water behind didn't care about him, but searched for Ling Xingye's figure everywhere. But I didn't notice that the sprite's "flying" seemed a little far away, and the time was a little long...

Finally, the sprite landed on the truck bed just now.

Ling Xingye himself was also there.
