A Scientific Urban Detective

"Honestly, there's no need to be so reckless," Lin Wuming wasn't particularly supportive of Misaki Shokuhou's plan. "We don't need to split up at all."

Like a lion using its full strength to hunt a rabbit, Lin Wuming felt that since they already knew the whereabouts of Shunzo Kutsuki, there was no need to rush. They could resolve the 'Deadlock' issue first, and then deal with that guy together later.

However, Misaki Shokuhou was very firm in her stance to solve the problem herself.

"Exactly, that's what I said too," Runko Kaigimi also complained about the Queen for once. "But the Queen said that if she doesn't go after Shunzo Kutsuki, she'll face the enemies here herself!"

In comparison, the enemies on the 'Deadlock' side were even less compatible with Misaki Shokuhou.

In the end, Runko Kaigimi couldn't disobey Misaki Shokuhou's will.

Just as the security forces and the main force of Judgment arrived and began the cleanup, Misaki Shokuhou, Mitsuari Ayu, Dolly, and Molly arrived at the foot of a research institute.

"This is where Shunzo Kutsuki is hiding," Mitsuari Ayu said. "I had Little Shadow sneak in to take a look. That guy is inside and hasn't escaped yet."

"Of course he won't escape," Misaki Shokuhou said. "Because he's remotely watching the battle on Runko-nee and Wuming-senpai's side."

Sugito Matsumoto had notified their "investor," Shunzo Kutsuki, that the operation to eliminate "Mental Out" would begin today.

To obtain firsthand information, Shunzo Kutsuki wouldn't risk going to the battlefield to watch, but he would monitor remotely through camera footage.

After all, this concerned the research project that Shunzo Kutsuki was currently relying on for survival—the development of Five_Over—so he couldn't afford to take it lightly.

As a result, while watching the battle through the camera set up on the Usurper's Lance, Shunzo Kutsuki immediately saw Lin Wuming's classic image in a wheelchair!

"Pfft!" Directly spitting out half of the coffee he was drinking, Shunzo Kutsuki jumped up from his chair. "Why is that guy there?"

Having had painful experiences before, Shunzo Kutsuki was very wary of the "hero" Lin Wuming.

When supporting 'Deadlock' this time, he repeatedly emphasized and urged them to eliminate Lin Wuming's influence and strike when Misaki Shokuhou was alone. But… how did they run right into him instead?

Then, listening to the conversation on the scene, Shunzo Kutsuki judged that Sugito Matsumoto seemed to have actively invited Lin Wuming—he was trying to win Lin Wuming over to join 'Deadlock'!

Hearing this, Shunzo Kutsuki didn't just spit out coffee; he wanted to smash the coffee cup in his hand directly.

"Idiot! Idiot! A self-assertive idiot!" Because there was a considerable distance from the scene, Shunzo Kutsuki could only rage impotently here.

He suddenly thought that there was a backdoor program on the Usurper's Lance that could remotely seize control of the powered armor.

So Shunzo Kutsuki prepared to put it into practice, directly controlling Sugito Matsumoto's Usurper's Lance to self-destruct—eliminating that idiot and, with luck, maybe even taking Lin Wuming with him!

But before he could take action, Lin Wuming had already struck first.

The seemingly suicidal shot inexplicably blasted Sugito Matsumoto away, and even destroyed the main part of the powered armor on his body, causing the remote control function to fail…

Not having time to sigh, Shunzo Kutsuki quickly switched the perspective to see the situation of the other Usurper's Lances.

The result wasn't any better—the first thing he saw when he switched the perspective was the explosive scene of "Misaki Shokuhou" punching and blowing up an Usurper's Lance!

No, that wasn't Misaki Shokuhou at all. On closer inspection, it was Runko Kaigimi, who used to be in his laboratory at the Artificial Technocrat Organization!

He remembered that Runko Kaigimi had escaped with Misaki Shokuhou back then…

Thinking of this, Shunzo Kutsuki suddenly jumped up. "They were prepared, this is a trap!"

Since Runko Kaigimi was specifically disguised as Misaki Shokuhou, it meant that they had already found out about 'Deadlock's' plan.

—Considering the terrifying effects of 'Mental Out,' he, who had been in contact with them, must have been exposed!

Vigilance was the main reason Shunzo Kutsuki had survived until now. Without hesitation, he started the self-destruct program preset on the computer and ran outside.

"Where are you going, Shunzo Kutsuki?" A golden-haired, star-eyed girl stood in the doorway.

Shunzo Kutsuki felt as if he had taken root and couldn't move from the spot.

"Mental Out…" Shunzo Kutsuki found that he could still think and speak normally. "When did you find out about me?"

Whether to delay time or divert Misaki Shokuhou's attention, in short, Shunzo Kutsuki still had to struggle as much as possible.

"Guess," Misaki Shokuhou didn't intend to answer him properly, but instead took the opportunity to check his memory for information.

Seeming to realize his oversight, the next second, Shunzo Kutsuki found that he had lost the ability to speak.

At the same time, Misaki Shokuhou's expression changed drastically, because she discovered that Shunzo Kutsuki had strapped a self-destruct bomb to his body!

He seemed to have prepared for this situation long ago. The power of the self-destruct bomb was extremely great, and at least she in this room would definitely be affected.

According to Shunzo Kutsuki's settings, at the same time he started the computer's self-destruct program, the self-destruct device on his body also started synchronously, with a countdown of 120 seconds, and then the countdown had to be reset every two minutes, otherwise it would explode.

In order to "hide" the existence of this self-destruct device, Shunzo Kutsuki had also specifically received hypnosis counseling to eliminate the existence of the self-destruct device from his brain's surface consciousness, so as to avoid being seen through at a glance by Misaki Shokuhou's "Mental Out."

Facts proved that the measures he had taken with great effort did work, but only a little.

Misaki Shokuhou only took less than three seconds to find all the information about the self-destruct device from Shunzo Kutsuki's memory.

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"Don't come over, there's a bomb!" Misaki Shokuhou quickly shouted loudly.

In order to completely block Shunzo Kutsuki, Mitsuari Ayu, Dolly, and Molly went to other different directions, not together.

So, in order to remind them, she could only choose to shout loudly. It was probably too late to contact them by phone.

—Next time there is a similar action, I must equip walkie-talkies!

Misaki Shokuhou reflected in her heart.

In fact, her superpower "Mental Out" can also play a role in real-time communication, but that is established on the premise that she is within sight.

If she can't directly see the other party, it is difficult to perform remote manipulation unless she activates "Exterior Brain"—at least in terms of Misaki Shokuhou's current level of ability application.

Of course, Lin Wuming is a special case.

Or rather, is it because she has invested too much attention in Lin Wuming's mind that it has led to insufficient progress in her development in other aspects?

In short, Misaki Shokuhou, who couldn't accurately contact the other three, could only use the "shouting loudly" method to issue a warning; at the same time, she activated her superpower and launched a large-scale "broadcast" on the spiritual level.

At least, the people in this building knew that a bomb was about to explode.

Although she was issuing a warning, Misaki Shokuhou herself had no intention of running away.

—There are a full one hundred and twenty seconds in the countdown, with ample time to manipulate Shunzo Kutsuki to reset the countdown.

And conversely, with less than two minutes, Misaki Shokuhou felt that with her athletic ability, she probably couldn't escape the blast range…

"Let me see how to reset the countdown…" Misaki Shokuhou controlled Shunzo Kutsuki to start acting.
