Academy City's Puppet Master

"Okay, but you only have five hours."

……

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xingye looked up at Jian Gongzhai.

"Okay, now we can have a big fight." He picked up the travel bag, "First, let's change places."

As soon as the words fell, a van with the words "Electricity Emergency Repair" painted on it pulled to the side of the road.

The driver was Ling Xingye's nearest exclusive driver, Heitie Yihui.

Ling Xingye and Jian Gong Zhaizi quickly got into the car and drove to the underground tavern.

The back compartment was transformed into a mobile command center, and its information terminal was far more powerful than Ling Xingye's mobile phone.

With the new equipment, Ling Xingye continued to complete the face recognition screening work that was interrupted just now.

"Is this the scientific method?" Urakami looked at Ling Xingye in awe, "As expected of a man even the Pope values."

The number of tourists who flooded into the Garden City today was huge, and the screening work lasted for more than ten minutes, and the results were not obtained until Ling Xingye and the others arrived at their destination.

"Sure enough, I put on makeup..." Ling Xingye felt a little regretful, "But it's normal, if they don't even make this preparation, then they would be too stupid."

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the two of them avoided all surveillance cameras and sneaked into the campus perfectly.

But that's very unlikely.

Not to mention Academy City's surveillance cameras are all over the city, but at least the airport and all entrances and exits are strictly monitored.

Unless, like Tsuchimikado Motoharu, he finds a secret route over the wall.

Moreover, Academy City's monitoring network can also automatically capture photos of cyberspace.

As long as someone takes a photo and uploads it to the social network, it will be added to the recognition system.

And on days like today, there are countless cameras, camcorders, and mobile phones in the entire Academy City taking pictures and uploading them to the Internet...

So it is almost impossible for them to avoid surveillance.

A group of people came to the underground tavern, a command center specially built by Qifan.

At this time, Jiangong Zhaizi received the communication magic from his companion.

——They discovered that Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Stiyl, and Kamijo Touma were also tracking Oriana, and had fought.

Among them, Kamijou Touma even saw Oriana directly!

"Investigate the surveillance around the station immediately and look for suspicious persons!" Ling Xingye said immediately.

Sure enough, after narrowing the scope, he quickly locked in on a blonde woman dressed as a painter and carrying a billboard.

After sending the screenshot of the target to Kamijou Touma for identification, Ling Xingye finally confirmed that she was one of the targets—the magician "deliverer" Orianna!

Then, the members of the group of armed incompetents in the vicinity also sent back messages one after another.

One after another, Oriana's whereabouts were completely exposed.

"Target locked."

Ling Xingye picked up the mobile phone and used the authority to mobilize the heavy suppression troops of the guard force.

A map of the entire Academy City is displayed on the large screen occupying the entire wall, and green arrow indicators are densely marked on various areas on the map.

——These arrows represent members of groups of armed incompetents.

Likewise, there is a larger red arrow marking the target Oriana's location.

"The stage is ready, just waiting for the actors to come on stage..."

Ling Xingye opened his hands subconsciously, ten fingers had already worn rings at some point, each silk thread stretched out along the fingertips, submerged into the air in front of him, and he didn't know where they were connected.

Suddenly, he shook his head, retracted the silk thread with a snap of his fingers, and grabbed the communicator in front of him.

"I am Ling Xingye, from now on, everyone listens to my command!"

===Chapter 470 The Sixth Suppression Operation Begins===

"... Monkey, ask your people to take a group photo in front of that store and take a panoramic view."

"Kuji, find a way to stop the nearby barrel robot and let it stay in place for at least 2 minutes."

"Amao, you can continue the live broadcast, but you must include all the streets behind you in the camera."

"..."

Ling Xingye kept giving orders, and the big screen in front of him switched between different screens like flowing water.

Through these seemingly irrelevant instructions, Ling Xingye firmly locked the target - Orianna in the camera.

At this time, news came from the guards that the repressive troops were already in place.

Ling Xingye nodded, looked up at the map, Orianna's travel route.

"You have to find a way to get her attention..." Ling Xingye frowned.

Although there are a large number of "pawns" under his command, most of them are just ordinary members, or they are just related to "armed incompetent people" - just like the relationship between Gufa Meiwei and the society "Big Spider" Relationship.

They are willing to follow orders, more out of curiosity, it feels very interesting.It is to act with the interest of participating in a large-scale offline event.

If it is really in danger, it may be difficult to play a role.

And Ling Xingye didn't want to involve them in danger.

That's why they are asked to do "irrelevant" things.

At this time, Ling Xingye noticed the word Jiangongzhai next to it.

"Can you ask your people for the next link?"

Jian Gong Zhai was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Of course, this is our business!"

Ling Xingye pointed out several locations on the map: "Let your people rush to these places."

"Mmm, yes." Jian Gongzhai nodded repeatedly, and asked Uragami and Niu Shen to contact their companions, "And then?"

"And just cast magic on the spot... I remember you can use magic without attracting attention?"

"That's true, but what to do? What kind of magic to use?"

"casual."

"what?"

"What kind of magic is used is not the point." Ling Xingye explained, "The key is 'someone is casting magic', the purpose is to let the target know about it."

Jian Gongzhai looked at the map carefully, and suddenly realized: "You have to drive to the set route!"

"Exactly." Ling Xingye didn't hide his plan, "Today is a grand sports festival, and there are too many students and tourists, so we can't directly start a war on the street, right?"

Ling Xingye drew a route on the map, and the destination was a long-abandoned park.

The heavy suppressing force has already ambushed there, just waiting for the target to be caught.

"But how can you control her to follow the route you chose?" Saiji Takemiya asked, "Orianna is an expert at escaping, and her combat effectiveness is not bad, even Stiyl and Kamijou Touma are no match. I don't think we'll be able to get there just with us Amakusa-style people."

"You are responsible for a few key nodes, and my people are responsible for other places along the way." Ling Xingye said.

Then, he gave the command again.

"Attention everyone! From now on, everyone should pay attention to the target woman! Be polite and safe, do not act alone, do not directly contact the target, and do not leave the public eye."

After finishing speaking, Ling Xingye put down the communicator, sat on the chair and looked at the big screen.

"Is that all right?" Jiangong Zhaizi looked at him and asked.

"It's ok. All the preparations are complete, and then we just need to wait patiently for the actors to take the stage, and the show begins..." Ling Xingye said.

"Today is the first day of the Daba Star Festival. The number of people in Academy City has increased sharply, and various law enforcement agencies have stepped up patrol inspections, so the number of 'dead spots' in the city has been greatly reduced. Mixing with the crowd to monitor targets can ensure their safety. .And I don't have any unsuspecting fools in my staff who will disobey my warnings and provoke others;

"In addition, the target will not rashly use magic in public, and as an escape expert, she will not do such things that expose herself;

"In the end, I believe that as an expert, she can feel the pressure of the environment around her and take evasive actions."

Ling Xingye looked at the big screen, and the arrow representing Orianna continued to advance along the route he had drawn.

"Until she finally appeared on the stage, the most I did was just monitor. She couldn't feel any clear hostility, she had no choice but to go down this road."

Ten minutes later, Orianna was about to step onto the "stage" arranged by Ling Xingye.

In the command center, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ling Xingye picked up the communicator: "Get ready for action! Attention all units, treat the target as level 4... no, treat it as a level 5 powerhouse with caution; also, this is not a war, and it is forbidden to launch actions for the purpose of killing the target , to suppress and capture the target."

……

At the same time, Oriana stopped suddenly.

Looking around, she realized that at some point, the surroundings became empty—she followed her feeling, and finally came to this unsafe place.

"Magic? Has someone used a large-scale ritual magic that affects the atmosphere? Even I was tricked without knowing it..."

Oriana muttered to herself as she put down the billboard, resting it against her lap, and pulled out her phone.

"Yo, Lidovia!"

"I told you not to call me by my real name! We are operating covertly now!"

"Well, it doesn't matter. I've already been discovered because of my sister."

"What! Who is the other party? What is the current situation?"

"First, there are two magicians from the Church of Necessary Evil," Orianna grabbed the billboard again, "but that doesn't matter anymore. The one who is looking at me now is the trouble. He should be good at large-scale hypnotism Magician..."

Oriana recalled the horrific scene where almost everyone she saw was pointing her camera at her along the way.

"Or, it was the 'Psychological Mastery' who made the move."

"What a joke! How could Academy City send superpowers to deal with us!"

"Who knows, sister, I'm just guessing." Oriana shrugged, her voice was a bit vague due to a stack of shorthand cards in her mouth, "I just want to tell you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it again next time, sister." I helped you, you work hard yourself!"

After that, she threw away the phone and crushed it with her foot.

"Next... let's see what surprise you have prepared for my sister and me!"
