Academy City's Puppet Master

"I didn't come forward until now, do you think I will agree?" Hua 21 flatly refused.

"They are capable users, and they are also finished products produced by Academy City's technology."

"Really?" Hua 21 showed unfriendly eyes.

"Then to put it another way, I promise that I will provide treatment to restore their physical functions and protect their lives." Aleister said, "I have new tasks for them. But I promise not to endanger them. life safety."

The two negotiated and reached a consensus.

Hana 21 handed Misaka sister to Academy City—actually, it was Aleister.

As a price, Aleister specially allowed to spend 21 to build a long-term base in Academy City.

After the brief meeting, Hua 21 informed Ling Xingye and Misaka Miqin of the result.

Soon, someone came to the Karamazov Institute of Pathology and transferred the sisters away in batches.

After confirming that the location and health of every Misaka sister can be tracked at any time, Misaka Mikoto decided to trust Academy City again.

Similarly, Ling Xingye naturally has no objection.

— and they couldn't think of a better way.

Although helpless, he could only believe in Aleister's promise.

"However, based on my experience in dealing with the chairman, he seems to disdain to lie." Hanging up the phone, Ling Xingye stared at the phone screen and said to himself.

"Anyway, it's over here."

Picking up the travel bag, Ling Xingye walked onto the street under the night.

===Chapter 440 Magician Baoliang===

The magician Bao Liang sat on his shabby single sofa, staring intently ahead.

Two meters away in front of him was an old display tube black and white TV, and on top of the TV was an equally old DVD player.

On the screen that has already been covered with snowflakes, a silent picture is played.

Baoliang didn't blink his eyes, staring at the TV screen as if in a daze, the fluorescent light hit his face, making him pale.

"Ah, what a beautiful thread-drawing show." He murmured, but his eyes sparkled, "I didn't expect anyone to be able to make such a wonderful 'puppet double dance' with sprites. As expected of the descendants of the Ling family class, Really great performance!"

"Did you say so, little bird?" He suddenly turned his head and looked at the other sofa beside him.

The same dilapidated single sofa, but a huge birdcage was placed on it.

What was locked in the cage was not a bird, but a petite girl.

The silver-haired and silver-eyed girl looked stiff, curled up in the cage with her knees hugged, like a delicate and beautiful doll.

Bao Liang reached out to stroke the girl's hair, but the girl remained motionless, indifferent, just staring at the screen.

"Haha, you also think his performance is very beautiful, don't you? It's suitable for my theater to perform in!"

Baoliang looked up and looked around—it was a huge, stadium-sized stage theater, surrounded by auditoriums that could hold 10 people.

The dimness shrouded the stage so wide that one could mistake it for a vast plain. There were only two solitary sofas and a TV in the center of the stage. Dim lights shone on Bao Liang, as if he was performing a farce.

He opened his arms exaggeratedly in excitement and let out a silent laugh.The light was directed by him and quickly swept around.

——Those auditoriums immersed in darkness were filled with spectators, their expressions dull, like puppets.

Eerie like ghosts.

Suddenly, as if a stone broke the calm water, ripples appeared in the grand theater.

"Master Baoliang, Master Baoliang..."

Bao Liang looked back, not far behind, someone suddenly pushed the door and entered.

"Then it's your time."

A man in a tight gym suit peeped in.

The grand theater is like a phantom, fading like the tide; the two single sofas have also become small Maza; the old black and white TV has become a laptop.

Upon closer inspection, Baoliang was in a small, cramped room—the props room of the circus.

"Well, come."

Bao Liang responded, and pulled a piece of canvas to cover the big birdcage.Pull it apart, and there's nothing left.

The man guarded the door respectfully, and then followed behind Baoliang.

Baoliang took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and shook it out as he walked.

The handkerchief continued to unfold until it was the size of a cloak.

Rolling up the "cloak" on his body, amidst the man's admiration, Bao Liang was already dressed in a neat tuxedo.

Full of energy, Bao Liang put on his top hat, drew out his cane, and stepped onto the stage facing the lights and cheers.

"Welcome to the legendary great magician—Baby Bright!!!"

Fanatical applause and cheers drowned out everything.
