A Scientific Urban Detective

"Worthy of being the legendary ‘Hero,’ how kind of you."

A new voice suddenly entered his ears. Lin Wuming wasn't surprised and calmly looked up.

In the shadows of the corridor above, dim light vaguely outlined a figure.

At this moment, Lin Wuming was at the scene of the earlier 'traffic accident,' pulling the first enemy he encountered from the wreckage and placing her on the stretcher bed along with the Alligator Jaw Saw Blade.

Although the 'traffic accident' that occurred was very serious, the female driver was wearing high-tech riding gear that matched it—or rather, some kind of 'armor' would be more appropriate—with considerable defensive capabilities.

Therefore, the driver herself wasn't seriously injured, only suffering from a slight concussion or a fractured skull.

Lin Wuming brought her along as well, planning to hand her over to the doctor and security teachers together after returning to the surface later.

Just then, a new enemy appeared.

Lin Wuming looked up, carefully identified her, and then looked behind him, not seeing a second figure.

It seems this time there's only one enemy as well.

They seem to especially like coming one by one. Does this mean I have to defeat this one executive before I can meet the final BOSS?—Lin Wuming secretly complained.

The girl on the opposite side walked out of the shadows. The first thing Lin Wuming noticed was that she was wearing Tokiwadai Middle School's uniform!

"Oubaku Komugi Kōji."

She wasn't the expected third executive, but the leader of 'Fake Item,' Oubaku Komugi Kōji!

According to the information provided by Misaki Shokuhou, Oubaku Komugi Kōji's most prominent feature was the 'Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.' Although it was unknown if she was really a student at Tokiwadai Middle School, she seemed to always appear in the same attire.

Seeing the enemy's leader personally appear, Lin Wuming felt a sense of unease as if a pattern had been broken.

Where is the other executive? It's really concerning.

Oubaku Komugi Kōji had no intention of explaining. She looked down, her gaze passing over Lin Wuming, and examined her two companions on the stretcher bed.

"They were still too careless," Oubaku Komugi Kōji shook her head. "I didn't expect the 'Hero' Lin Wuming to come here."

During the battle in the private arena earlier, Alligator Jaw Saw Blade recognized Lin Wuming as a telekinetic, but because he didn't have his signature wheelchair, she didn't immediately connect Lin Wuming with the rising 'Hero'.

Otherwise, she would have been more serious and fought the intruder with all her strength.

"Are you really a student at Tokiwadai Middle School?" Lin Wuming asked.

"What do you think?" Oubaku Komugi Kōji raised her hands, opened her arms, as if showing off the uniform she was wearing. "It's hard to imagine that in a place like Tokiwadai Middle School, there would be a villain like me, right?"

"No wonder…" Lin Wuming said thoughtfully.

No wonder he gained so little when investigating the name "Oubaku Komugi Kōji."

If she was indeed a student at Tokiwadai Middle School, then everything could be explained.

Tokiwadai Middle School's information security measures for its students were very strict. Unless it was a direct order from a high-level member of the Board of Directors, even the Anti-Skill and Judgment officers would find it difficult to directly investigate Tokiwadai Middle School's information.

In addition, there was the possibility of mishearing or homophones, making the Anti-Skill's investigation of the name "Oubaku Komugi Kōji" even more fruitless.

It had to be admitted that the leader of 'Fake Item' hiding in Tokiwadai Middle School was indeed a brilliant move. Utilizing Tokiwadai Middle School's inherent secrecy and various privileges, it could shield almost all investigations.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" Lin Wuming stepped on the brake of the stretcher bed to prevent it from running around, while looking at Oubaku Komugi Kōji on the opposite side.

Actually, he also knew that this battle was inevitable, so there was no need to ask.

"'Hero' Lin Wuming," Oubaku Komugi Kōji said, "To be honest, you're quite famous in Tokiwadai. If possible, I wouldn't want to kill you."

Just like in a normal conversation, Oubaku Komugi Kōji kept walking, already reaching a very close distance in front of Lin Wuming.

Another blonde beauty, her blonde hair loosely draped behind her head, with a strand braided into a decorative little braid next to her right cheek.

Contrary to Tokiwadai Middle School's school rules, the girl wore cold and glamorous makeup, as if she was constantly smiling arrogantly.

Without stopping, Oubaku Komugi Kōji continued to walk forward.

Her expression was calm and composed, but full of a certain aggressiveness.

Lin Wuming naturally couldn't let her continue to approach—she was already close to his defense range!

A telekinetic barrier blocked Oubaku Komugi Kōji's path, and her footsteps finally paused slightly.

But then, he only saw her wave her hand casually, as if brushing away a spider web blocking her path, and then continue to walk forward.

Lin Wuming was surprised to find that his telekinetic barrier disappeared with her casual wave!

Lin Wuming quickly retreated, re-establishing the distance.

“The newest novel is first published at 69 books bar!”

"What's wrong, telekinetic?" Oubaku Komugi Kōji didn't chase, but stood in place, revealing a playful smile. "Why are you retreating? Are you afraid, 'Hero' sir?"

"Your superpower…"

"This is a secret among secrets, 'Hero' sir," Oubaku Komugi Kōji said. "What do you think my ability is, and what level is it?"

"I can't guess that," Lin Wuming admitted decisively. "But it should be a Level 4, a Great Ability."

"Wrong guess. I'm a Level 5, a Superpower," Oubaku Komugi Kōji said.

Lin Wuming chuckled coldly, not believing it.

Oubaku Komugi Kōji said very seriously, "Do you know that there are currently seven Level 5s in Academy City?"

"Of course I know that," Lin Wuming couldn't help but roll his eyes. Not only did he know, but he had basically met them all.

Except for "Meltdowner" Mugino Shizuri, Lin Wuming had already dealt with the other Level 5s. Misaki Shokuhou was even his neighbor living upstairs.

"Then haven't you carefully counted the known list of Level 5 personnel?" Oubaku Komugi Kōji continued to ask. "Vector Transformation, Dark Matter, Meltdowner, Railgun, Accelerator, Mental Out… there are only six."

"Are you talking about the mysterious sixth person?" Lin Wuming immediately realized what she was talking about.

"The sixth person? It's the mysterious seventh person," Oubaku Komugi Kōji corrected. "The seventh Level 5's identity is kept secret because she is Academy City's secret weapon used to suppress dark side organizations. Dark side organizations like 'School' and 'Item' that possess Level 5s would be troublesome if they betrayed, and in such cases, the mysterious seventh person would be sent to deal with them…"

Oubaku Komugi Kōji said with a smile, "In other words, the seventh Level 5 is the bane of all other Level 5s!"

"What kind of urban legend is this…" Lin Wuming muttered softly.

If he hadn't read the original work, he might have believed her nonsense.

Although the identity of the sixth person in the original work was always a mystery and never publicly revealed, it could never be the Oubaku Komugi Kōji in front of him.

Most importantly, Oubaku Komugi Kōji didn't have the unique aura of a Level 5.
