The Puppeteer of Academy City

"What I'm really worried about is Ling Xingye," Teacher Xingzi said.

"What's wrong with Xingye?" Shiranui Hitomi actually wanted to ask a long time ago, because after this semester, I always felt that Teacher Sachiko was a little deliberately targeting Xingye. It's going to cause trouble."

Hitomi Shiranui From a teacher's point of view, although Xingye can't be regarded as a top-notch "excellent student", she is definitely a good student with excellent character and learning.

"It's true in school," said Sachiko-sensei, "but what about other times? It's true that he didn't have conflicts with students in other classes, nor did he fight with bad boys outside of school... But what he did was far from Is it more exaggerated than these? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a battle! Correspondingly, the number and frequency of his injuries and even hospitalizations are abnormally high, right?"

"...So, how can you make me feel at ease with this kind of student?"

Faced with Sachiko-sensei's accusation, Hitomi Shiranui was also speechless.

Because it's all true.

Shiranuotong and Ling Xingye have been together for too long, but like Ling Xingye, they already regard this kind of battle that happens from time to time as part of their "daily life" and don't pay much attention to it.

But the teacher Sachiko who taught them this year is different.

In fact, there is no teacher who regards "his students will hang up every now and then, and then go to class with a bandage" as a normal phenomenon, right?

"Do you know why, teacher, I acquiesced in allowing you to stay overnight at Ling Xingye's place?" Teacher Xingzi asked suddenly.

"This... doesn't need permission at all, right?" Shiranui Tong didn't think there was any problem with this. After all, she visited many times in the past three years. In addition to returning to China during the holidays, Ling Xingye was also invited to live in her home.

Then I heard the teacher's weak sigh.

"Because Ling Xingye obviously listens to you more than the teacher I just met." Teacher Xingzi said the reason, "Only you can really restrain him. Moreover, the only thing Ling Xingye really cares about is you. .As long as you are around him, he will act less impulsively."

Hitomi Shiranui corrected him: "It's not just me. In fact, Xingye treats everyone equally. As long as someone is in danger in front of him, Xingye will definitely save him."

"It's not the same." Teacher Xingzi shook his head, "Saving people out of responsibility or moral reasons is a completely different concept from saving people out of caring—the former will make him risk his life, but the latter can make him lose his life." People have the determination to live."

"Understood? Hitomi Shiranui." At the school gate, Teacher Xingzi stopped and turned to look at the most proud student in her class, "What the teacher hopes is for him to live a good life, not to be in danger because of some messy incidents The teacher doesn't want my class to experience inexplicable attrition in the second semester!"

"So," Teacher Xingzi concluded, "that kid Ling Xingye, I'll leave it to you."

"..." Hitomi Shiranui nodded, but...

"Is Xingye's problem that serious?" I always feel that Teacher Sachiko is a bit alarmist, "It seems that if you don't pay attention, something will happen to Xingye..."

Sachiko-sensei's merciless evaluation was a bit unlucky, which made Hitomi Shiranui unhappy.

"Teacher isn't exaggerating." Sachiko-sensei asked instead, "You should know Hitomi the most, right? This boy who calls himself a 'puppet master' is so skilled at manipulating puppets."

"Indeed, Xingye's thread-drawing scene is very powerful!" Hitomi Shiranui agreed, and at the same time added in his heart-after all, Xingye used this as a means of fighting.

Teacher Xingzi said: "Ling Xingye has always performed on the street, right? I have also seen it, and there are also many video materials shot by audiences on the Internet-it seems that some fans are specially collecting and organizing them."

"Uh... I know that." Hitomi Shiranui nodded. In fact, she is the administrator of Ling Xingye's fan site...

"The puppet under his control is really lifelike. If you zoom in, it is almost the same as a real person's performance!" Mr. Sachiko said with emotion, "It is precisely because of this kind of performance that is so realistic that even the few I know Even a person with telekinetic ability can't achieve this level-that's why Ling Xingye can win the love of the audience, and he can reap a lot of money in almost every performance. After all, pure skills can always move people's hearts! Teacher, I also like him very much performance."

"But on the other hand..." Sachiko-sensei changed the subject, took out her mobile phone from her bag, searched it and showed it to Hitomi Shiranui, "This is the incident on the 24th of last month—yes, the one you were involved in !Although the specific information was deliberately suppressed and concealed by the high-level officials, due to the huge damage caused at that time, there are still many reports circulating on the Internet.

"It is said that a powerful high-energy laser beam appeared, piercing through the buildings on three streets in an instant, and finally launched into the sky, and even broke through to outer space, destroying an artificial satellite!"

"At that time, Ling Xingye was there, right?" Teacher Xingzi took back the phone, "He was competing with that kind of strategic weapon! This kind of thing is absolutely abnormal no matter how you look at it! If you often encounter this level of battle... Do you really think he can get out of it every time~www.wuxiahere.com~ and come back safely?"

Hitomi Shiranui's complexion also became ugly.

"The teacher feels that Ling Xingye's child is different from other people." Teacher Xingzi asked again, "I don't know if you have noticed Ling Xingye's expression when you are not present."

Hitomi Shiranui shook her head blankly, of course it was impossible for her to know such a thing.

"In your eyes, Ling Xingye is still a normal boy..." Mrs. Sachiko flipped through the phone's photo album, and showed Shiranui Hitomi a photo that seemed to be secretly taken.

In the photo, Ling Xingye was sitting in his seat in the classroom, and Hitomi Shiranui in the front row happened to be absent.

In the photo, Ling Xingye's side face was expressionless, and his eyes were expressionless, looking at the nothingness in front of him like a sculpture.

Hitomi Shiranui was very surprised. The boy with an indifferent expression in the photo was really the Ling Xingye she knew?

"Did you see? As long as you are not around, this child has such an expression—or no expression. This is also the main reason why he has no other friends in the class." Teacher Xingzi said, "In my opinion, the existence of Ling Xingye The pattern is abnormal. It's not what a normal human should have, it's more like... a puppet!"

Shiranuo Tong's heart trembled.

"Only when facing you does he act like a normal person."

Teacher Xingzi nodded, and said very seriously: "Because I want to lead your class, I have studied psychology courses by myself. It is not difficult to see that Xingye has a tendency to ignore or ignore his own life to some extent! So , when he acts recklessly regardless of his life, only you can persuade him."

Hitomi Shiranui pursed her lips tightly, and said solemnly: "I will take good care of him!"
