Academy City's Puppet Master

I saw a closed truck parked at the cargo port, but there was no one in the cab.

Frowning, Jeeves inspected it carefully before finding a memory chip glued to the steering wheel.

On the surface of the chip, we can see the unique mark of "Yanshi".

"The magician...he really came." Jeeves muttered, even though he was the person in charge of the "Yanshi" organization stationed in Academy City, he didn't know the situation of this mysterious magician at all.

Or the crow gave it a little information to make it ready.

Jeeves reads the contents of the chip with a personal terminal that he carries with him.

"Transformation of people?"

Seeing the instructions given to it by the magician, Jeeves was a little dazed.

Opening the compartment, I saw a total of fifteen human beings neatly arranged on three floors.

They were alive, but stiff as frozen corpses, like planks stacked in a carriage.

Jeeves knew that this was the effect of the "Yanshi Curse".

It is also because of the "curse" that these people survived - it can be seen that they have undergone quite severe transformation.

Almost half of their bodies were replaced by mechanical structures. The techniques were delicate but rough. If it wasn't for the "Yanshi Curse", they would have lost too much blood and collapsed to death.

"What is this for?" Jeeves couldn't help being stunned. If combat power is needed, can't you just create some low-level puppets?

Magicians ask it to stabilize their condition and get them back to "health" as quickly as possible.

"It's not very difficult." Jeeves shrugged, summoned a team of robots, and transported them back to the laboratory.

Although this is the base camp of the automatic puppet, the crow once conducted experiments on replicating human beings, leaving behind many therapeutic instruments and technologies for "human beings".

"Then..." Watching fifteen humans being sent into the treatment cabin, Jeeves continued to read the magician's instructions, "Convince them... what does this lord want to play? Forget it, just use the learning device to brainwash them."

During the treatment, Jeeves lifted their "curse".And distort their thinking with learning devices.

Let them attribute all their misfortunes to Ling Xingye, replace panic and fear with "revenge", and ignore his physical transformation.

After all this is done, Jeeves wakes them up.

"Do you want to defeat Ling Xingye and take revenge on him?" Jeeves asked.

"Yes! We must kill him! At all costs!"

"Oh." Jeeves said according to the lines, "But even after the transformation, you are still no match for Ling Xingye."

"However, he has two weaknesses." Jeeves said, "First, the iron law of silver, he will never kill."

Saying so, it called in the printers to start making artificial skins for their mechanical parts.

"Second, he attaches great importance to the people around him. As a silver puppet master, it is his responsibility to eliminate automatic puppets, and it is only his duty to protect human beings. But Ling Xingye regards protecting others as an equally important responsibility."

"So," Jeeves put down the terminal, with a bewitching smile on his face, "target the people around him and use hostage tactics."

……

Longer, the girls' dormitory of Shangji Academy.

Lily checked the room and dialed the professor's number as usual.

"Will you come to see the next Dabaxing Festival?"

"Oh, I really want to see the scenery of Academy City with my own eyes, but I've become so busy recently that I don't have time."

"The research of the school and the professor has been taken seriously?" Lily asked in surprise, "But I'm still the eighth?"

"You don't need to care about the ranking anymore." The professor said, "Your battle data with the third and fourth place before is enough to impress the congressmen. They finally recognize the reality and admit the power of superpowers."

"Of course, what really made them nervous was the third clone plan."

Unlike Academy City, which wants to produce level 6 absolute power users, Yanshi Crow and the United States are looking at the technology of "mass production of super power users".

The existence of the Misaka sisters proved the possibility of a cheap but powerful superpower fighter.

"So, my research has also been taken seriously." The professor said proudly, "From now on, Lily, you can spend your high school time well, and don't have to think about those headaches anymore."

"Hmph, I won't give up! I will definitely become No.1!" Lily said, "By the way, if you can't come, you must watch the live broadcast. I am the representative of the student declaration."

The members of the executive committee of the Daiha Seishi Festival failed to find the No.7 Sogiita Gunha in the end, so they had to give up the plan for the boy level 5.

Misaka Mikoto was also considered "unsuitable to represent the Missy School" because she acted too boldly, so she was not able to become a student representative.

Instead, Misaki Shokuhou from the same school is in charge.

At the same time, Changdian Shangji Academy strongly requested that the school's "Ice Age" Lily be another student representative.

In the past, there were no conditions, but now that there is a level 5, it is natural for the school to grow up and not show weakness.

The Dabaxing Festival is a sports festival, so naturally there must be winners and losers.

Not only are all the students divided into red and white teams for confrontation, but there are also ranking competitions between schools.

Changdian Shangji Academy and Tokiwadai Middle School, both of the five famous schools, are the most eye-catching pair of competitors.

Although one is a high school and the other is a junior high school for girls, since all Tokiwadai Middle School members started with level 3 strong abilities, in terms of strength, the entire academy city may really only be able to compete with the long-term Shangji Academy.

If we go deeper, this is actually a confrontation between the "College House" represented by Tokiwadai Middle School and the "Changdian Shangji Education Group" represented by Changdian Shangji Academy.

Since it was a competition, and the opponent was Misaka Mikoto who was in third place, Lily immediately ignited her fighting spirit and tried her best to lead her school to win against Tokiwadai Middle School!

===Chapter 470 Opening of the Daba Star Festival===

Huberian robot development company, seven-story laboratory.

Lu Cun stared at the screen in front of him in a daze.

Kumiko Yanaka came behind him with a yawn: "Are you still not resting at this late hour?"

Lu Cun glanced back at her: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm your bodyguard, my employer doesn't sleep, how can I go to rest?"

"In my understanding, bodyguard is a profession that can't relax even when the employer is resting."

"Well, don't care about these details." Kumiko Yanaka waved her hand, "I don't think you have any tasks recently, why are you so busy?"

"Who said there is no task? I am so busy right now."

Kumiko Yanaka leaned out and looked at the screen: "Let me see..."

Seeing that Lu Cun didn't stop him, he became more confident and bold: "Ah, the automatic puppet is here again? It's really hard work, it's endless."

"And he's still a Yanshi." Lu Cun said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Now I really hope that Baiyin Yao will come back quickly."

Although this Yanshi came here for the book competition, Lu Cun is the real person in charge of "Baiyin" stationed in Academy City, and he must take responsibility to deal with automatic puppets appearing in his jurisdiction.

This situation of having to be a "nanny" for Ling Xingye made him very unhappy.

"It's the information provided by Jeeves again!" Kumiko Yanaka said, "That guy is so powerful that he hasn't been discovered yet!"

"It's just mutual use." Lu Cun snorted coldly, "You disclose this information to Liu Yinjian, and he will pass it on to Ling Xingye."

"Hey... I don't want to see that man. Boss, you can just tell Ling Xingye directly. If you have to make such a big circle..."

"Hmph, how could I help Ling Xingye? This is just a routine announcement as a last resort. Otherwise, it will be unreasonable if the higher-ups track it down!"

"Boss, you are so awkward." Kumiko Yanaka laughed unceremoniously, "Didn't you say that Ling Xingye is your enemy, and you have always wanted to kill him? Except for the beginning of last month, why are there no new ones? Actions……"

Lu Cun rolled his eyes: "I want to kill Ling Xingye, not to die with him... If I don't kill him 'reasonably' within the rules of the book competition, I will be executed by 'Silver' in the end, What's the point?"

Lu Cun paused, and then said: "Don't worry, I hired you as a partner, from the very beginning to kill Ling Xingye."

"Hey, is that so?" Kumiko Yanaka replied casually, her tone full of disbelief.

Based on her observations in the past two months, she felt that Lu Cun was now more in the name of taking revenge on Ling Xingye, but in fact he was secretly advancing his plan.

Lu Cun smiled: "Come on, you have to be fully prepared. Unsure actions will only give him experience in the end."

Kumiko Yanaka shrugged: "I don't care, as long as I pay my wages on time."

"Then work for me." Lu Cun switched the task interface, "I have re-built it——the virtual machine of 'Fantasy Royal Hand 3.0', only the final experiment is needed."

Because the crows were crusaded, the old nest was also destroyed by Ling Xingye and Hua 21, and Mu Shanchunsheng surrendered without reservation, causing "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0" to fall into a state of complete paralysis.

With the information and hardware equipment provided by Jeeves, Lucun built a new server by himself, fully exploited the "Fantasy Royal Hand 2.0" system, and named it "3.0" system.

"I'm a magician, it's impossible to use superpowers!" Kumiko Yanaka warned, "Don't treat me as a test subject!"

Lu Cun couldn't help but slapped her backhand: "Stop talking! What I lack now is a core. Find a way to bring 'foreseeing the future' to me."

……

The next day, it was still a weekend off.

Ling Xingye continued to polish the script, and also directed the silk-drawing scene of Saten Ruiko.

For some reason, this girl took advantage of the opportunity to become his disciple yesterday, and began to formally learn how to operate the puppet.

The heroine "Kaze" is also determined to be manipulated by Saten Ruiko.

Saten Ruiko also looked very interested, and she was very serious about studying.Although the movements are still a bit rusty, this rustiness can just offset Ling Xingye's overly skilled technique - so that the audience will not doubt whether the role performed on the stage will be played by a real person.

In the afternoon, Ling Xingye went to the underground tavern to show up again, and overall commanded the actions of the law enforcement team.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Time passed day by day, and the opening day of the Daha Star Festival was getting closer and closer.

Finally, on September 9th, the official opening day of the Dahasei Festival.

The entire Academy City was ignited!

All the students were dispatched in unison and gathered in each gymnasium.

At the same time, foreign tourists and family members of students also flocked here.

The huge Academy City seemed to be filled with people in an instant.

Academy City, which is extremely mysterious on weekdays and can almost be called a country within a country, will also be open to journalists and media from all over the world within seven days from today.

This huge city is shrouded in a youthful and restless atmosphere.

There are as many as 180 million direct participants in the Daba Star Festival, so the opening ceremony is also scattered in more than 300 gymnasiums across the city, and is held simultaneously using the remote conference system.
