Academy City's Puppet Master

"Hehe, that's true. Xingye has always refused to recognize the name of the leader, and he hardly cares about it. At most, he just asks us to provide information..." Qifan said helplessly, "But we—at least [-]% of the so-called armed incompetents Everyone recognizes him and is willing to respect him as the only leader."

"Why? Misaka doesn't understand."

"Because of Starry Night, he brought order to us." Qifan said solemnly.

Since the establishment of Academy City, the "group of armed incompetents" has undergone a generational replacement.

The old school of "armed incompetents" is deeply influenced by traditional extreme ways, and their behavior is extremely cruel and tyrannical, and many of them are adults.

"About three or four years ago, the seniors of the previous generation 'graduated' and left Academy City one after another, and the power vacuum left behind caused chaos in the underground world." Qifan recalled, "Those of us who have just entered the Jianghu The little gangsters were also involved in the scuffles organized by those big clubs, and those emerging clubs were even more oppressed. On the surface, Academy City is still calm, but the world in the dark is truly bloody. .”

"No one will take care of us at all, just let us self-destruct. In the eyes of the city's senior management, we, as incompetent people, are not even qualified to be experimental subjects."

"It was in this hopeless chaos that Xingye, a junior high school student, broke in." Qifan's eyes were filled with admiration, "With his own strength, he cleared up the order of the underground world and extinguished the chaos. Taking this opportunity, we newcomers and the new student association have the opportunity to gain a firm foothold and develop to this day."

===Chapter 460 The Fifth Bringer of Order===

Although Ling Xingye has never paid attention to the law enforcement team under him, the combat effectiveness of this team led by Qifan and Ito Arisu is very reliable.

It may not be enough to deal with high-level ability users in Academy City, but it is much easier to deal with outsiders of ordinary people.

Coupled with the advantages of being a local snake, as well as various high-tech equipment in Academy City, the arrest of illegal immigrants did not cause many waves.

By the time Ling Xingye and Misaka 10001 arrived at the command center of the underground tavern, the operation was over.

"Things are going well," Qifanhui reported. "The prisoner has been handed over to the accompanying security forces."

"However, during the battle, the enemy had colleagues to help us, which caused us some difficulties." He added.

"Coming together?"

"Yes, it is also classified as an organization armed with powerless people. There are even powerful people participating in it, and our wounded are caused by this."

"Academy City is so big and there are so many people, it's normal." Ling Xingye was not surprised, after all, people with great abilities joined.

Moreover, Ling Xingye fully "religed" to the official organization of Academy City, and there must be some people who are dissatisfied and opposed.It is not impossible that even groups of armed incompetents will be split as a result.

Of course, Ling Xingye didn't care about these things. His status as the "leader" was not what he wanted, but was recommended by those hundreds of associations.

The passive aggregate of the armed incapacitated group is not a whole in the first place.Splitting and opposing each other is the normal phenomenon.

Ling Xingye also had no intention of truly unifying the underworld.

"How about the cooperation with the security system?" Ling Xingye asked instead.

This is the most important thing he came here to understand.

In order to meet the terrifying passenger flow of the Daba Star Festival in the near future and to supplement the shortage of manpower in the support guards, Chairman Aleister specifically asked Ling Xingye to "cooperate".

It can be said that the "law enforcement team" is a non-staffed force of the security forces.

As for the Disciplinary Committee, because it is a purely student organization and is mainly responsible for school affairs, it is not directly arranged to cooperate with them.

Just use Lingxingye as the hub to exchange some information.

"Well, it's okay, I'm getting used to it more or less," Qifan said.

The guards are all adults, basically composed of part-time school teachers, and many of them are regulars of this underground tavern.

In addition, many members of the armed incompetent group are former or active students of these security teachers.Apart from the embarrassment when getting along with official business, there were no conflicts.

"That's it, first familiarize yourself with the various procedures and rules of the security system." Ling Xingye nodded, "Under the premise of not endangering yourself, you can follow the instructions of the security teacher and cooperate with the operation. The key targets are still foreign spies and saboteurs."

After a pause, Ling Xingye continued: "Of course, information about vampires and combat robots should also be collected. But remember to avoid fighting."

After briefly explaining a few things, Ling Xingye acted as the hands-off shopkeeper and left in a cool manner.

But Misaka 10001 was stopped.

"Misaka-san, please stop, I've found what you need," Nanami said.

Ling Xingye looked at Misaka 10001 in surprise. She never thought that this girl would go to the underground market to find something. Could it be contraband?

But looking at the "toy soldier" assault rifle hanging on her chest, she felt that this was normal...

"It's a clockwork bandage. Misaka quickly explained to dispel the strange guess in Master's mind."

After explaining, Ling Xingye finally understood.

It turns out that one of the "suits" of the Misaka sisters - the clockwork bandage has a "shelf life".

Similar to the Kevlar material used to make body armor, the "Clockwork Bandage" is a consumable item of equipment.

Not only is it easy to wear and tear during use, but even if it is not used, if the storage environment is unfavorable or the storage time is too long, it will quickly lose its function.

Misaka 10001's original wind-up bandages have expired and become waste products.

Now, she has left the "experiment" again and has no way of getting supplies, so she can only ask Qifan, who is in the smuggling business, to help her find it.

"It really took a while, and it's not a restricted item - it's more likely to hurt yourself." Qifan couldn't help complaining, "It's just because there is no place to produce it, so Very hard to find...”

"Thank you, Misaka."

"You're welcome, it's easy to do." Qifan said quickly.

For him, no matter how difficult it is to find something, he can't find it by himself.I said this just to get a good impression in front of Ling Xingye.

Then, Shichiban took Misaka 10001 to the lower level warehouse to pick up the goods.

Ling Xingye was not interested in following, so he went back to the bar lobby to wait for them.

In the underground warehouse, Misaka 10001 confirmed the goods he wanted.

But he didn't leave in a hurry, but asked, "Why did Mr. Qifan recognize the master's status as the leader? There are other people... Even Misaka who is standing on the master's side can see that the master himself doesn't care about this status at all." .”

"Hehe, that's true. Xingye has always refused to recognize the name of the leader, and he hardly cares about it. At most, he just asks us to provide information..." Qifan said helplessly, "But we—at least [-]% of the so-called armed incompetents Everyone recognizes him and is willing to respect him as the only leader."

"Why? Misaka doesn't understand."

"Because of Starry Night, he brought order to us." Qifan said solemnly.

Since the establishment of Academy City, the "group of armed incompetents" has undergone a generational replacement.

The old school of "armed incompetents" is deeply influenced by traditional extreme ways, and their behavior is extremely cruel and tyrannical, and many of them are adults.

"About three or four years ago, the seniors of the previous generation 'graduated' and left Academy City one after another, and the power vacuum left behind caused chaos in the underground world."

Qifan's eyes were filled with admiration, "With his own strength, he cleared up the order of the underground world and extinguished the chaos. Taking this opportunity, we newcomers and the new student association have the opportunity to gain a firm foothold and develop to this day."

===Chapter 460 The sixth promotional film shooting plan===

"Bring order?" On the way back, Ling Xingye heard about the exchange between Misaka 10001 and Qifan, "Well, it can be considered from the results, although my intention is not the case."

It turned out that three years ago, when the group of armed incompetents rioted, it was also the time when Ling Xingye's "book competition" was the most intense.

The puppet masters from the "Baiyin" new faction and the automatic puppets from "Yanshi" took turns to fight without a moment's rest.

There are fights almost every day.

Even though the opponents at that time were all low-level scumbags, they were deadly enough to ordinary people.

Moreover, Ling Xingye didn't know the tacit understanding reached by the "participating parties" at that time - not to harm ordinary people.Therefore, they have to bother to protect passers-by while fighting, so they take the initiative to lead the battlefield to remote corners or abandoned urban areas.

"Unfortunately, those dark corners are also active areas for groups of armed incompetents." Ling Xingye said, "They are also fighting fiercely there."

In order to avoid involving these "ordinary people", Ling Xingye carried out a large-scale clearance.

"Does clearing the field mean knocking down everyone? Misaka made a reasonable guess."

"Almost," Ling Xingye continued, "then in the battle with the automatic puppet, I saved some guys who had no brains and ran to watch... Later, similar things happened many times, because there were a lot of people saved, And they recognized my strength, so I was elected as the 'leader' in the end."

Misaka 10001 listened silently, combined with the words of Shifan just now, restored the final truth.

The truth is of course not as simple and light as Ling Xingye himself said.

Using strength and life-saving grace to subdue the unscrupulous teenagers who armed the group of incompetents was indeed effective for the young people who had just "entered the industry" such as Qifan at that time, but the polar clubs of the previous era were not so easy to talk about.

It was Ling Xingye's strength and terror that really defeated this group of armed incompetents.

For the convenience of action, the automatic puppets and silk puppets that enter Academy City are all disguised as human beings, and there are almost no flaws in their normal appearance.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people who watched Ling Xingye's battle from a distance, Ling Xingye would beat the enemy to pieces every time, and they would often dismember them and tear them into pieces.

Looks like a tyrannical murderer.

Therefore, when he later announced which area was designated as a battlefield, everyone left voluntarily and cooperated with the clearing of the field.

In the end, those associations who want to fight in groups have to watch the weather forecast and wait for Ling Xingye's notice. After a long time, it will be nothing.

If there are any more conflicts, they will find a way to ask Ling Xingye, the "big devil" to arbitrate.

Ling Xingye's authority was established step by step.

Recently, in fact, people have known that none of the people Ling Xingye killed were human beings, but the climate has become established, and no one is willing to come out and challenge his authority.

Coupled with the fact that the rumor of "Ling Xingye defeated Accelerator" spread in the underground world, his position became even more stable.

It can be said that Ling Xingye was made the leader completely unconsciously.

The development of the matter even exceeded the expectations of the Academy City Unification Council.

Today, Chairman Aleister also volunteered to cooperate with the "leader" Ling Xingye.

"Master is amazing! Misaka praises you from the bottom of my heart."

"No, I really just want to be a puppet show artist." Ling Xingye looked tired, "I feel like I'm being pushed forward by the general trend, and I can't help myself."

Finally, he looked up at the sky sadly: "If senior brother sees me like this, he will definitely kill me, right?"

Seeing his appearance, Misaka 10001 couldn't help being speechless.

Ling Xingye quickly cleared up his mood, and then said: "Tomorrow is Saturday off, I want to shoot a promotional video of the puppet show, Misaka, do you want to come and play together?"

"Puppet show? Promotional video?" Misaka 10001 was caught off guard by the sudden change of subject.

"Yes, after all, no matter how busy you are, you can't leave your job behind."
