MTL - The Puppeteer of Academy City-Chapter 47 Reasons to chat with enemies

Different from Ling Xingye's fear and alertness, Yanaka Kumiko looked very calm at this time, like a cat teasing its prey.

"Hey, do you know what my sister's magic is?" Kumiko asked leisurely, with no intention of attacking at all, she stretched her proud figure with her arms open. It's as if she really came to relax by the river for a walk.

"It's alchemy..." Kumiko didn't seem to intend to get Ling Xingye's interaction, and she immediately answered, "Well, that's what it said, but it's actually just biased towards alchemy.

"Xingye, you are from the mainland. You should have heard of it. In the ancient East, there was a profession similar to an alchemist—an alchemist..."

"The textbooks usually call them alchemists." Ling Xingye didn't know what she wanted to say, but in order to prevent the other party from fully grasping the rhythm of the topic, he still added.

Kumiko just glanced at him, and then said: "As we all know, gunpowder, one of the four great inventions, was originally created by ancient alchemists! So, you should be able to understand the magic that my sister and I use, right?"

"Is gunpowder refined?" Ling Xingye chose a name casually, "It doesn't sound magical."

Kumiko took out a bomb wrapped in red paper from her pocket, and her carefully manicured, slender nails suddenly cut it with force.

The gunpowder that was as fine as powder inside was scattered one after another, and the breeze blowing by the riverside, these gunpowder drifted with the wind like smoke.

Kumiko quietly watched the "smoke" dissipate, and then suddenly snapped her fingers.

Boom!

Suddenly, a fire flashed in the middle of the river, and a huge fireball burst into flames. The surface of the river exploded, and a drizzle fell on both sides of the river.

Another whirlwind rolled up out of thin air, sweeping away the water droplets that fell on her side.

"And..." The air spun rapidly, forming a miniature tornado in Kumiko's palm, "Sister, I am also very good at wind spells. Do you know what this means?"

Ling Xingye's face was always tense, and he didn't show any unnecessary expressions. Even if she suddenly exploded just now, his face didn't change.

"Meaning you can make a bigger explosion?"

"Really, sister, I don't hate humorous people, but is it really okay to just pretend to be stupid like this?" Kumiko narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cruel arc, "Actually, you know it very well, Ling Xingye."

"—This is a threat! During the time I've been chatting with you, where do you think my sister and I have spread the gunpowder?"

Seeing the drastic change in Ling Xingye's face, she nodded with satisfaction: "So, brother Xingye, please hand over the original scripture obediently. I know, you attach great importance to the safety of other people, right?"

"As expected of a professional, you can really prescribe the right medicine." Ling Xingye suddenly relaxed and sighed, "But the only mistake you made was—you took this action without telling Lu Cun, right?"

"Do you really think it would be useful to threaten me with a hostage?" Ling Xingye shook his head, "You never thought about why Lu Cun and the others haven't used this method after such a long time?"

Kumiko frowned: "Who knows... Maybe it's because this is Academy City?"

Ling Xingye said again: "Ask you the other way around, you should know that I am a puppet master, right? Why do you think I am chatting with you here?"

Only then did Kumiko Yanaka notice that the tall puppet was not following Ling Xingye!

At the same time, outside the apartment building where Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng lived, she had been standing in the shadow of the corner, and the sprites covered by the large windbreaker suddenly moved.

It came to a fire hydrant on the side of the road, and suddenly kicked up and broke the entire fire hydrant.

In an instant, a snow-white water column rose into the sky, sprayed to a height of 20 to 30 meters, and then spread and fell in all directions.

There seemed to be a torrential downpour near the street.

Pedestrians passing by had no time to criticize the destructive behavior of the sprites, so they hurriedly ran around to "hide from the rain".

The sprites are bathed in the "rainwater" all over the sky, and they lift their feet to step on the water column to change the direction of the water column.

"What's wrong?" Kanzaki in the room sensed the commotion outside, and came to the window, "Why is it raining suddenly?"

"Huh? No way? The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today." Yueyong Xiaomeng responded, "Could it be something wrong? Impossible? Our weather forecasts are always accurate to the minute."

Suddenly, a jet of water hit the window, rattling the glass and almost shattering it!

"Someone is deliberately attacking!" Kanzaki Kaori picked up the long knife and was about to rush out.

But Hitomi Shiranui stopped him in time: "Wait, that's the puppet of Xingye."

"What is that guy doing?" Steele complained. This sudden "rainfall" washed away many rune cards he had placed outside.

Although Stiyl had fully waterproofed all the rune cards, after being washed by the turbulent water, it was difficult for the fluffy cards to stay in their original positions. This will undoubtedly have a big impact on the magic he has prepared.

Outside the house, countless dust-like gunpowder particles floating in the air were absorbed and then settled under the washing of "rainwater", and fell to the ground with the raindrops.

A little farther away from the apartment building, in a place not washed by the extra care of the water flow, an explosion suddenly occurred out of thin air. The flames and thunderous bangs exploded without warning, as if the air had suddenly exploded.

The air was burning, spreading rapidly to the perimeter, and was quickly contained close to the apartment building. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Only the shock wave from the explosion continued to spread, shattering the glass of the window.

Kanzaki was prepared and blocked the shards of glass, but he and Hitomi Shiranui, who were close to the window, were still drenched by the water outside.

"Did someone use the flame spell?" Stiyl rushed up and jumped out of the window, "Hey, puppeteer, where is the enemy?"

He rushed to the monster and asked loudly.

Sprites didn't answer, and just left the scene quickly in a posture that almost slid on the ground.

Stiyl didn't have time to stop him, and he didn't dare to leave the apartment too far, so he could only turn his head angrily.

By the river, Ling Xingye was also fleeing in a panic, avoiding Kumiko's continuous bomb attacks.

For such an enemy who is resolutely unwilling to fight melee, the puppet master without a puppet by his side is very troublesome.

Ling Xingye's only weapon at this time was the "flying blade", but Kumiko was always able to use the storm created by the explosion to blow away and disturb the silk thread.

Moreover, most of Ling Xingye's "squares" and computing power were used to manipulate sprites at this time, so he was extremely passive in the face of the enemy's aggressive offensive.

Just when Ling Xingye was almost forced to jump into the river to escape, the sprite finally arrived!

Puppets are not afraid of explosions. Ling Xingye's energy was lifted, and he was about to launch a counterattack.

But Kumiko stopped suddenly.

The blond-haired mercenary held six gunpowder between his fingers, and a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Actually...brother Xingye, you don't have that so-called original book at all, do you?"

Ling Xingye couldn't help but pause when he heard the words.

Taking advantage of this gap, Kumiko dropped the gunpowder, and her figure disappeared amidst the flames and the roar.
