A Scientific Urban Detective

“Alright, alright, no need to explain anymore, I really believe you,” Lin Wuming said. “Actually, I already consulted with Chairman Aleister about the situation. Just consider that just now as satisfying a bit of my curiosity.”

“Tsk!” Stiyl made a headache-like expression, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Kanzaki Kaori tentatively asked, “Mr. Lin Wuming, then about Index…”

“This is originally your own business,” Lin Wuming waved his hand. “I just couldn’t stand you chasing a little girl down the street just now. Since you don’t mean to harm her, then I have no reason to interfere with you. Of course, if I find out that you still want to harm that girl, I will still take action when it’s time to act.”

After giving a slight warning, Lin Wuming decisively bid farewell and turned to leave this place of right and wrong.

As I said before—Lin Wuming actually didn’t plan to interfere in this matter at all. He also knew that Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori wouldn’t really harm Index, so there was nothing to worry about.

The warning just now was just to maintain his “persona.”

Although it was very helpless, the current fact was that, whether Lin Wuming was willing or not, he had already come into contact with these magicians.

Plans can't keep up with changes—after getting away from the two magicians, Lin Wuming sighed heavily.

Then he immediately contacted Chairman Aleister.

“I want information on magicians, you know—real magicians!” Lin Wuming said directly. “Also, are these two magicians in Academy City trustworthy?”

Half of Lin Wuming’s words were pretense, and half were a genuine desire to obtain some information about “magic.”

After all, the original work only had “plot” and would not really involve these more detailed pieces of information.

“I thought you always knew,” Chairman Aleister said. “Okay, I will give you the information you want. As for those two magicians, they can be trusted for now. Our relationship with the Anglican Church is good now, so it is not recommended to conflict with them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to attract complaints from their Archbishop.”

At the same time, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori were also discussing what happened just now.

“Stiyl, did we say too much just now?” Kanzaki Kaori was a little uneasy. You know, their operation this time could be regarded as a “secret operation.”

“I didn’t want to either,” Stiyl also said unhappily, “But in that situation just now, if we concealed anything further and refused to explain the real purpose clearly, it would be even worse. To be honest, I don’t want to be enemies with that Lin Wuming at all!”

Because the name “Lin Wuming” never represented himself alone. Even without mentioning his “Director” status, just looking at his personal connections, he could at least persuade three Level 5s to come and help!

Unless they wanted to start a full-scale war with Academy City, they absolutely could not provoke Lin Wuming.

“You’re right.” Kanzaki Kaori nodded in deep agreement. “Moreover, Lin Wuming himself is unfathomable and very scheming; he gives me the feeling that he knows a lot of secrets and would not be surprised by anything. However…”

Kanzaki Kaori changed the subject: “He is not inherently bad and can take the initiative to rescue Index—consistent with the description in the information, worthy of the name ‘Hero,’ I think he can be trusted.”

“Trust is one thing, but our next task…” Stiyl sighed again, “I really didn’t expect the situation to become like this. I hope everything goes smoothly afterwards and doesn’t add any more trouble.”

Speaking of which, the reason why they chose to come to Academy City to carry out the final ritual in the first place was to reduce unnecessary trouble.

But they didn’t expect that before the enemies from the magic side could interfere, they would first clash with the Level 5s on the science side…

Kanzaki Kaori sighed: “Perhaps we should have communicated with Lin Wuming from the beginning, perhaps we could have avoided these misunderstandings.”

After all, Misaka Mikoto, who interfered with them in the morning, was also Lin Wuming’s person, right?

Stiyl sneered: “No, I think we shouldn’t have any contact with him at all. That guy was originally a complete outsider, right? If he didn’t know about our affairs from the beginning, he wouldn’t have meddled in our business…”

While Stiyl was complaining, he saw Lin Wuming driving his wheelchair and coming from another direction.

For a moment, Stiyl’s face was full of embarrassment and vigilance.

Similarly, Lin Wuming, who had returned to the same place, also looked vigilant—this time it was not acting, but genuine vigilance.

Lin Wuming sincerely wanted to leave here and go to WcDonald's to meet Misaka Mikoto, but under the guidance of the navigation, he returned to the same place as if he was caught in a ghost trap!

“Stiyl, can your 'idler dispersal magic' be undone?” Lin Wuming was very sure that this was the work of that damn magic!

“It’s been undone long ago! Besides, my technique is to ‘disperse’ idlers, not to attract others over,” Stiyl retorted, “You’re just bad with directions, don’t blame the magic!”

Lin Wuming sneered: “These words can deceive me, but they can’t deceive the machine! I followed the navigation program all the way, if the navigation is not accurate, don’t say it’s not your magic effect!”

Lin Wuming also had sufficient evidence.

“Damn it, when did the magic of dispersing idlers also work on machines?” Stiyl muttered in a low voice. He knew this was unreasonable, but he couldn’t explain it.

Because he had not yet dispelled the magic technique of “idler dispersal.”

So, knowing that he was in the wrong, Stiyl quietly dispelled the magic technique while Lin Wuming was not paying attention.

“Ah, finally it’s normal!” Lin Wuming fiddled with the navigation program and finally showed a relieved expression.

“What kind of machine do you have? Is it specially designed to detect magic?” Stiyl couldn’t help but ask.

Moreover, he was clearly using the “dispersal” technique, so why did he attract Lin Wuming instead?

Lin Wuming didn’t know what was going on, but he was even less willing to waste time and energy on this kind of thing. After confirming that the magic was dispelled, he decisively left again.

After some twists and turns, Lin Wuming finally arrived at WcDonald's.

“So slow!” Misaka Mikoto, who was sitting bored in the corner, rushed over as soon as she saw Lin Wuming enter the door.

“Sorry, I encountered a little trouble on the road, so I was delayed,” Lin Wuming explained.

After returning to Misaka Mikoto’s previous seat, Lin Wuming briefly recounted his experience just now.

“Eh? Senior Wuming also met them?” Misaka Mikoto said in surprise, “It seems we really have a fate with them.”
