A Scientific Urban Detective

"What's wrong, Senior Wu Ming?" Noticing Lin Wu Ming suddenly nodding in the direction of empty space, Misaka Mikoto was a little puzzled.

Shokuhou Misaki followed Lin Wu Ming's gaze, but with her eyesight, she couldn't see anything in the vast night sky except for the silhouettes of tall buildings in the distance.

However, she still "saw" the two magicians in the distance through Lin Wu Ming's line of sight.

"Ah, they're finally here…" Shokuhou Misaki, like Lin Wu Ming, sighed with mixed feelings.

"Are there people there?" Tora-Bami Touma asked, her eyes shining in that direction.

Tora-Bami Touma accurately understood the meaning of Lin Wu Ming's actions, but she couldn't see that far either.

"Two interesting… no, powerful guys," Lin Wu Ming said, "Five thousand six hundred meters in a straight line, hiding so far away to peep? I'm impressed they thought of that."

Although his duel with Accelerator was public and didn't prohibit anyone from watching, deliberately hiding so far away to watch could only be understood as "peeping."

"Let's go," Lin Wu Ming said, retracting his gaze, "They're probably coming over soon."

"Ehh~~" The three girls immediately complained.

It was already bad enough having to duel Accelerator every weekend, but now some strange guys were disturbing them and Senior Wu Ming!

Compared to the other two who were unaware, Shokuhou Misaki was thinking more.

—Why are Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl, two magicians belonging to the Anglican Church, suddenly coming to see Senior Wu Ming?

—Until now, we shouldn't have had any connection with the magic side!

Lin Wu Ming secretly shook his head—I don't know either, but I guess it must be related to Chairman Aleister, right?

Whenever something he couldn't understand happened, blaming Chairman Aleister was probably the right thing to do.

This was a lesson Lin Wu Ming had recently learned.

As expected, after wandering aimlessly on the way home for more than ten minutes, just as Lin Wu Ming had guessed, they encountered the two magicians coming towards them.

"Wu Ming!" Tora-Bami Touma, keenly aware of the other party's strong eyesight, immediately became vigilant and reached out to press on Lin Wu Ming's shoulder to warn him.

Lin Wu Ming patted the girl's hand in response: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

So, Tora-Bami Touma let go, allowing Lin Wu Ming to control the wheelchair forward alone.

However, at the same time as letting go, Tora-Bami Touma immediately took out ribbons and bandages, glaring fiercely at the scantily clad girl with the long sword opposite them.

Misaka Mikoto also quietly held a few coins in her hand.

Shokuhou Misaki smiled sweetly, but she had never let go of the remote control from the beginning.

This was the first time in Lin Wu Ming's life that he had dealt with magicians—Aleister didn't count—and honestly, it was impossible not to be nervous.

But the three girls behind him were his strongest support, and familiar with them, Lin Wu Ming knew their reactions without even turning his head.

Therefore, he immediately felt relieved, regained his composure, and looked at the two magicians in front of him.

Although Stiyl was tall, he was surprisingly not good at close combat, a standard magician. So Lin Wu Ming didn't pay too much attention to him.

The key person to observe was the girl beside him—a "Saint," of whom there were no more than twenty in the entire world.

In terms of probability, they were even rarer than Level 5 espers.

Although they were both magicians, the existence of "Saints" was itself a kind of "magic"—their powerful physical qualities alone were enough to crush 99.9999% of the people in this world.

With such a rare specimen in front of him, Lin Wu Ming naturally had to observe carefully…

From the outside, Kanzaki Kaori was undoubtedly an ordinary human girl.

From the exposed parts of her body, it could be seen that she had indeed undergone rigorous and professional training, but that was all, and she was far from being "inhuman."

If he didn't know the plot of the original work, Lin Wu Ming probably wouldn't have imagined—how much power was contained within such a not-so-strong girl.

"That woman is very powerful!" Tora-Bami Touma suddenly said from behind.

"Eh? Did you see something?" Misaka Mikoto asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, otherwise why would Wu Ming keep staring at her!"

"…Tora-Bami is right," Shokuhou Misaki nodded in agreement.

—Senior Wu Ming, did you hear that? Stop staring at her~

Shokuhou Misaki broadcasted the conversation in real time.

"…" Lin Wu Ming was speechless for a while, but also realized that remaining silent like this was not an option, "The two of you inviting me out so late, shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?"

Kanzaki Kaori coughed lightly and looked at her companion—according to the prior agreement, all matters dealing with Academy City officials would be handled by Stiyl.

"Director Wu Ming" could be considered an official, right?

Stiyl stepped forward and replied: "Nice to meet you, Lin Wu Ming… Mr.? I am Stiyl Magnus, and this is my partner, Kanzaki Kaori. We are from the Anglican Church and are here on official business."

"The Anglican Church? I've heard of that," Misaka Mikoto whispered, sharing the tidbits of knowledge she knew, "It's said to be one of the three major branches of Christianity and has a lot of influence in the religious world."

Tokiwadai Middle School students came from all over the world, including many British exchange students, and this information was heard from them.

"But it's really strange, it seems rare to hear of religious people coming to Academy City," Misaka Mikoto added.

Ordinary citizens did not know the other side of this world—the opposition between the magic side and the science side.

But based on common sense, they also realized that Academy City, the city of science, and religion were naturally incompatible.

"Uh… I'm Lin Wu Ming, you guys seem to already know that," Lin Wu Ming also returned the self-introduction.

Then he looked back at the three girls behind him and continued: "They are Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, and Tora-Bami Touma… Okay, you should know that too."

Lin Wu Ming didn't know how to read the atmosphere, but that was okay, Shokuhou Misaki did.

Stiyl reacted quickly, and after being "reminded," he seemed to understand Lin Wu Ming's response as some kind of threat, reflexively taking out a few cards and starting to apply protection to his mind.

"We have no malice," Kanzaki Kaori said quickly. She was actually a little wary of "Mental Out," but as a Saint, she was naturally more composed, so she took over the responsibility of dialogue in place of Stiyl.

Stiyl was now very regretful, knowing that "Mental Out" was also present, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to see Lin Wu Ming.
