A Scientific Urban Detective

“Speaking of which, are those things that Senior Lin was muttering before falling asleep magic textbooks?” Dolly raised her hand to ask from the side.

“More or less?” Lin Wuming nodded. “Should I call them classic works, or… original texts?”

《The Emerald Tablet》, 《The Book of the Law》, 《Baopuzi》… Lin Wuming knew the names of these classics, and he also knew that their famous names were recorded in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum.

However, Lin Wuming wasn't very clear about whether the “original texts” as literary works and the “original texts” as grimoires were the same thing. He also didn't quite believe that Chairman Aleister would give him the real original grimoires.

Anyway, after reading them, the strange phenomenon that occurred when Aisaq seized the original text in the original work did not happen.

——If not all of the things that Chairman Aleister gave him were fake, then it could only mean that he was indeed not destined for “magic”.

It seems that the plan to understand “magic” from the source is going to fail.

Lin Wuming flipped through the directory of materials on his computer. He couldn't understand even the “Alchemy” chapter, which was divided separately.

“Wuming, that Miss Index.” Homi Honeycomb saw Lin Wuming looking like he had a headache, and couldn't help but remind him.

Lin Wuming shook his head with a wry smile: “It's useless, the level difference is too big, there's no point in asking her.”

She is a professor and library in the field of magic, but he is only equivalent to a beginner who has not even entered elementary school… Lin Wuming didn't even know how to ask.

“Forget it, it seems that there is a limit to last-minute cramming.” Lin Wuming closed the computer and threw it aside.

You should know that Lin Wuming was originally quite confident and ambitious. After all, he already had a “superpower catalog” in his mind, and he could use Nen abilities in a way that was “indistinguishable from magic”.

He thought that using this as a springboard to launch an attack on the magic field would be twice the result with half the effort—as a transmigrator, Lin Wuming certainly couldn't have completely not thought about “dual cultivation of science and magic”.

Now it seems that it can only be said that every profession is like a mountain.

“I'll ask Chairman Aleister later if there are any more simple and easy-to-understand introductory materials.” Lin Wuming muttered somewhat unwillingly.

Then, in order to change his mood, Lin Wuming stood up, looked at the people in the room, and Huangquanchuan Aiho would be off work and going home later, just in time…

“It's time to prepare dinner… If you want to order something, hurry up and say it, maybe I have to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.” Lin Wuming asked loudly.

“Kung Pao Chicken!”

“I want boiled cabbage!”

“Strawberry cake.”

“Giant Panda Dream Magic Tofu!”

“Isn't that last one from a manga? Don't think of me as too omnipotent!” Lin Wuming looked at Dolly and Taoli, who were being serious.

“Well, it doesn't matter,” Misaki Shokuhou said with a smile, “People believe that with Senior Wuming's cooking skills, he will definitely be able to reproduce the delicious dishes in the work!”

Lin Wuming also became curious: “Then let's try it, it seems very interesting.”

——Senior Wuming, have you really given up on the Misawa Cram School matter?

Misaki Shokuhou winked at him.

——Otherwise? Even if I'm troubled, I don't have any other ideas right now. Instead of that, I'd rather eat first.

Moreover, it should be someone else's turn to make a move next…

Lin Wuming turned his head to look in the direction of the windowless building.

…

In the huge test tube, the upside-down figure opened his eyes and calmly met Lin Wuming's gaze.

Of course, Lin Wuming didn't know about this scene. What Aleister was watching was just the live broadcast screen unfolding in front of him.

“As expected, it's still not possible, Lin Wuming.”

He has both strength and caution, and may even know some of the enemy's information in advance, but even so, Lin Wuming still failed in front of the Misawa Cram School…

“A troublesome guy has come in.” Aleister sighed, “There will always be accidents, and even Lin Wuming, an accident, can't cope… Sure enough, it's still beyond his ability to leave the magic side to him.”

Cutting off the live broadcast screen, Aleister's domain returned to silence.

After a long time, the chairman made a decision.

“Then, we can only start the original plan.”

Five hours later, on the other side of the earth.

London, England, Stiyl, dressed as a punk priest, complained as he got out of the taxi and looked up at the magnificent building in front of him.

The latest novel is first published on Six 9 Books Bar!

——Heathrow International Airport.

The Anglican Church is the state religion of this country. With the help of the church's power, the Archbishop urgently arranged a direct flight to Academy City.

“I have a bad feeling,” Stiyl bit his cigarette, took a deep breath, and was about to smoke the whole cigarette in one breath before entering the terminal, “I have to set foot on that land again in less than a week… I can't feel anything other than trouble.”

“Stop complaining, hurry up and go in!” A voice urged from the phone.

Although Stiyl didn't put the phone to his ear, but waved it quite casually in his hand, it didn't prevent the Archbishop's voice from being clearly transmitted to his ear.

“It's a good opportunity to visit Index, what are you dissatisfied with?” The Archbishop said.

“I'm dissatisfied in every way, especially having to see that surrogate collar.”

“A stingy man won't be popular with girls, you know.” The Archbishop said, “Moreover, that Kamijou-kun is likely to be your only companion in the mission, so you can't fall out with him.”

“Tch, you calculated this situation early on?” Stiyl muttered.

The Archbishop smiled triumphantly: “'Index Librorum Prohibitorum' is our most precious treasure. If you take our treasure, you always have to pay some price, right?”

“What a heartless woman!”

“Okay!” The Archbishop's tone suddenly became serious, “Let me remind you of one last thing, Stiyl, do you know why I asked you to handle this mission? And Kanzaki Kaori—if she didn't have other work to do, she would have gone to Academy City with you.”

“Because the enemy is very strong, and I have experience operating in that city.” Stiyl replied seriously.

“You're right, but it's not comprehensive.” The Archbishop paused slightly, and then said a name, “Aureolus Izzard—the name of the alchemist who is wantonly wreaking havoc in Academy City right now, do you still have any impression of him?”

Stiyl's eyes suddenly turned cold: “In other words, his target is Index?”

The Archbishop was a little surprised: “Well, it's not wrong for you to think so, you reacted quickly. So, do you feel like you finally have motivation?”

Stiyl put the phone back in his pocket and strode into the terminal.
