The Puppeteer of Academy City

Ling Xingye, Misaka Miqin and the others stood at the entrance of the alley and looked inside. The legendary "vampire" was hiding inside...

But at this moment, there was silence in the depths of the dark alley, and no one knew what happened inside.

Suddenly, another heart-piercing scream came from the depths of the alley.

Ling Xingye and Misaka Miqin rushed forward at the same time to protect the others.

The alley exuding a dark and ominous atmosphere finally made a movement—a young man staggered and ran out of it, his face was pale because of it, and while crying and screaming meaningless syllables, he tried his best but stumbled towards them. while running.

It was as if something terrifying was chasing him behind him!

The moment they saw the man clearly, several girls couldn't help but exclaimed.

—His left arm, gone!

The man's entire left arm was broken off shoulder to shoulder, and half of his body was dyed red by the blood sprayed from the **** wound!

Such a tragic and **** scene had a severe impact on the girls. Even Misaka Mikoto was stunned, not knowing how to react for a while. I can only watch this one-armed hapless ghost rush towards them!

Fortunately, this is just a victim, not an assailant.

Seeing Ling Xingye and the others at the exit, this person stretched out his remaining right hand as if seeing a savior and hope.

"Help me! There are monsters, there are vampires..."

Just as he was about to rush out of the alley, he tripped and fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a left hand flew out of the darkness and landed in front of the victim.

He raised his head and saw his severed limb, the expression on his face instantly collapsed, and he let out a desperate howl.

At the same time, his body that fell to the ground was dragged back into the darkness behind by a force.

Uchiharu Shiri and Saten Reiko, who came in a hurry, happened to see this scene, and screamed like other onlookers.

"Let go of him!" Misaka Mikoto roared angrily, releasing a large piece of bright lightning into the alley.

The extreme darkness turned into bright light in an instant, and the people outside still couldn't see what the assailant hiding in the alley looked like.

But Misaka Mikoto did repel the opponent—the attacker temporarily gave up on the hapless man.

Ling Xingye immediately took a step forward, but felt that the hem of his clothes was being pulled.

Looking back, Yuan Shanyao lowered his head slightly and looked at him with pleading eyes: "Don't go."

The ominous future appeared in her eyes again.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Ling Xingye showed a steady smile. Gently patted the girl's hand away, and continued to move forward.

Since the future that Yuan Shanyao sees is not absolute, but changeable, her prediction is actually more like a "warning" under the known conditions of the future.

Knowing that the next action is dangerous, it is enough to just be vigilant.

Ling Xingye cheered up and took off a bracelet from his left wrist. The carefully woven bracelet was unraveled and reduced to fifteen threads thinner than a hair.

At this time, the ghost is in the warehouse of the security department, and the only weapon in Ling Xingye's hand is a roll of silk thread—a silk thread woven by "flying blades" to control the puppet.

Because there is no need to control puppets, Ling Xingye can instead focus more on using silk threads, greatly increasing the lethality.

Of course, overall, the combat effectiveness is reduced.

So instead of approaching the alley rashly, he kept a certain distance and pulled out the victim and his severed limb with silk thread.

Then open the "barrier" to protect everyone.

After blocking the exit of the entire alley as much as possible, Ling Xingye said to Misaka Mikoto beside him: "Actually, at this time, I don't mind if you fire a super electromagnetic gun."

The alley was dark, and the specific scene could not be seen clearly. The enemy is in the dark, and in this case, direct firepower is the safest approach.

Misaka Mikoto took a closer look, and could tell that the straight line length of this alley was at most thirty to fifty meters—and the effective range of her railgun was only fifty meters.

"Yes, it shouldn't cause too much additional damage."

All she was worried about was accidentally destroying the building behind.

Misaka Mikoto took out a coin from her pocket—a coin from a game center she frequented. Preparing to accumulate electricity and bounce coins...

At this moment, the darkness in the alley surged violently like a boiling pool of water.

Something is rushing to break through the darkness!

By the time the few people outside were able to catch the target figure with their sight, it was already too late.

I saw a phantom as swift as lightning appearing from the darkness, constantly borrowing force from the walls on both sides, cutting out a clean and bright trajectory and blasting towards the outside!

Da da da…

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, the enemy suspected of being a "vampire" made several turns and changed directions with the momentum of thunder, and even bypassed Ling Xingye's frontal barrier and kicked him from the side!

However, the enemy didn't seem to know Ling Xingye's barrier, but was used to using such tactics, so Ling Xingye adjusted the direction of the barrier in time to block the blow.

However, due to the hasty adjustment of the settings, Ling Xingye only had time to set the coordinate origin of the barrier on himself.

The powerful impact transmitted through the barrier was faithfully transmitted to him.

Although he was not injured, Ling Xingye still couldn't completely stop the force and was kicked out.

At this time, Misaka Mikoto had just picked up the coin. Looking up, the enemy has arrived!

Without even thinking about it, Misaka Mikoto fired a spear of lightning and shot towards it.

The vampire was bathed in blue-white lightning, but he was not knocked down because of it.

It can even be said to be unscathed!

He turned his head to look at Misaka Mikoto, and then the whole head suddenly split from the middle and split into two halves!

This eerie and horrifying scene was enough to make everyone who saw it scream and faint.

The head was split open, but no brain blood flowed out, and even the flesh and bones could not be seen.

—In its place, a thick mechanical syringe. The sharp needles shine with a palpitating cold light.

This is the truth about "vampires"!

The vampire's "needle" was like a poisonous snake, piercing towards Misaka Mikoto in front of him like lightning.

Da da da da!

Shirai Kuroko drove the steel nail into the enemy's limbs, but the enemy didn't feel it, and continued to eject the syringe towards Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto discharged her whole body at close range, but the effect was still not ideal. Only the attacker's clothes and skin were burned, but underneath were wooden structures and gear sets.

"Robot!" Uiharu Shiri, who was hiding behind, shouted immediately when he saw this.

"It's a puppet!" Shiranui corrected, and after being with Ling Xingye for so long, she can recognize some types of enemies.

While speaking, they did not stop still, but tried their best to dodge backwards.

But the speed of the "vampire" puppet surpasses that of humans in all aspects, and its movements are so flexible that it can only be described as weird.

Compared with it, the reactions and movements of the girls are no different from slow motion.

The sharp tip of the syringe pierced Misaka Mikoto's heart.

There were screams from others around him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shirai Heizi stretching out his hand towards him, trying to move himself to a safe position.

No, it's still a step too late!

Misaka Mikoto has already calculated the time difference between the two sides in her mind.

But she wasn't worried, because the enemy's syringes were made of metal.

Electromagnetic fields can be converted to each other. As long as she wants, Misaka Mikoto, the strongest "electric shocker", can completely pretend to be Magneto!

Block the movement of enemy needles!

Misaka Mikoto mobilized the surrounding electromagnetic field...

The needle tip forcibly stopped less than three centimeters from her chest.

In other words, if it was Shokuhou Misaki or Shiranui-senpai, he would have been injured, right? But not happy at all!

Misaka Mikoto complained in her heart.

It wasn't because she lacked a sense of tension, but because the development of the matter was beyond her expectation again—the acupuncture stopped before she had time to exert force?

If you take a closer look, you can vaguely see several slender threads wrapped around the enemy's needles, making them unable to move.

Ling Xingye, who was lying on the ground beside him, stretched out his hands, and the silk thread between his fingers passed through the pulley block composed of squares, binding the whole body of the "vampire" puppet tightly, making it unable to move for a while!

Ling Xingye pulled back hard, and the complex device composed of silk thread and "pulley block" suddenly operated, generating a huge force, and forcibly pulled the "vampire" puppet back into the dark alley.

"Mikoto, bombardment!" He immediately shouted loudly.
