A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1013 Disperse, all irrelevant people.
“I think Nameless-senpai should learn to trust others,” Misaki Shokuhou suddenly said directly, “Trust in Kamijou-senpai’s strength, and trust us even more, at least we won’t be a burden to you…”

"I have never regarded you as a burden," Lin Wuming said, shaking his head.

Just as she was about to say something more, Misaki Shokuhou paused for a moment, then lowered her voice, stepped forward, and leaned close to Lin Wuming's ear, saying, "Of course, more importantly—don't try to use this excuse to escape anymore, Wuming-senpai~"

Lin Wuming had long known that his thoughts could not be hidden from the girl in front of him—she understood him even better than Lin Wuming himself!

So he had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "Alright, I won't meddle. I trust Kamijou and the others can handle things over there."

Lin Wuming learned from the call that Stiyl and Tsuchimikado Motoharu had also joined up with Kamijou Touma, and there was even a new member named Kenmiya Sai, as well as an unknown number of Amakusa-style members.

With this kind of personnel configuration, it's already much stronger than in the original storyline, so there's no reason why they can't handle Oriana.

With this in mind, Lin Wuming finally made up his mind to stop meddling in other people's business and to proceed according to their original plan, just as Misaki Shokuhou had suggested.

Misaki Shokuhou seemed quite satisfied with Lin Wuming's change in attitude, and nodded slightly.

"Hey, you can stop whispering now," Misaka Mikoto said as she approached the two.

From a third-person perspective, Misaki Shokuhou practically threw herself into Lin Wuming's arms to get close enough to whisper in his ear, creating a very intimate and ambiguous scene.

"Shokuhou, can't you just whisper with 'Mental Control'? Why are you doing this unnecessary thing!" Thinking that her mother was watching not far away, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but grab Shokuhou Misaki's arm and try to pull her away from Lin Wuming—she had just refused her mother's help not long ago, but now, her promise seemed very unconvincing!
Misaki Shokuhou didn't offer any further explanation or resistance, and straightened up as Misaka Mikoto pulled her.

"Thank you for your help, Misaka-san." After regaining her balance, Misaki Shokuhou even politely thanked her.

Because of her overly serious expression, Misaka Mikoto couldn't immediately tell whether she was genuinely grateful or being sarcastic.

—But if you put yourself in my shoes, you're definitely mocking me, aren't you?
Misaki Shokuhou smiled at Misaka Mikoto: "Don't overthink it, Misaka-san, I'm really just thanking you~"

"Hehe..." Misaka Mikoto was even more incredulous and could only force a dry laugh.

Misaki Shokuhou maintained her smile, turning her body with the most natural movement, her gaze slowly sweeping over her surroundings.

—Very well, it's gone now.

Misaki Shokuhou breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she hadn't seen the figure from before.

The reason she suddenly switched from verbal communication to speaking was to have a reason to get closer to Lin Wuming—in order to reasonably block Lin Wuming's view.

—It's not a particularly big deal, it's just that I don't want Senior Wuming to see that "delivery person," Oriana. Through "psychological control," I've learned that, for some reason, in addition to her job as a "delivery person," Oriana has another mission—a disreputable bishop in the Roman Catholic Church has actually commissioned her to seduce Lin Wuming!

Although it's unlikely that the nameless senior would fall for such a simple and direct honey trap, even so, Misaki Shokuhou would not allow the enemy's plan to succeed!
—No, if it's that woman, given the nameless senior's preferences…

However, after seeing Orianna's true appearance, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but waver—the nameless senior liked older women with graceful figures; Orianna, with her mature and sophisticated style, certainly fit that standard!
It was precisely because Misaki Shokuhou knew this that she was able to spot Orianna at a glance among the crowd of passersby.

After all, mature and sophisticated beauties have always been her primary targets. Regardless of whether she has ulterior motives, anyone who gets close will be "turned away" by her.

It can also be described as a targeted "dispersal of idlers".

However, this time, she happened to spot a real enemy!

Misaki Shokuhou was already advising Lin Wuming not to meddle in other people's business, and at this time she was even more unwilling to cause trouble. If Lin Wuming and Oriana met, even if the "honey trap" failed, it was not something she wanted to see the two of them fight!
Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou chose to block Lin Wuming's view, and while speaking, she directly warned Orianna through "Mental Control".

"Don't come any closer, don't try anything funny, just leave quietly on your own—you can do these things on your own initiative, or you can become someone's puppet and let them make you leave!"

Oriana was startled when she heard the voice suddenly ring in her mind, but as a professional, she remained calm on the surface, quickly sorted out the situation, and made a decision.

With a slight turn of her feet, Oriana naturally made a small arc and walked in another direction.

“A psychic, ‘Mental Control’…” Orianna walked to the corner at the end of the street and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Misaki Shokuhou could no longer see her. “This ability is practically cheating, isn’t it?”

Not only are the side quests assigned by Bishop Piaget impossible to complete, but it seems that Sister Lidovia's main quest may also have been exposed!

The only saving grace was that, judging from Misaki Shokuhou's tone just now, as long as she didn't bother them, it seemed she wouldn't interfere and expose her.

In this way, we may not need to worry about the main quest being exposed for the time being.

Oriana's expression turned serious. She had initially thought it would be an easy task, just a matter of teasing the boy in the wheelchair and provoking the girls around him...

But unexpectedly, there was such a troublesome girl by Lin Wuming's side!
"A lover with mind-reading abilities... isn't that terrifying?" Oriana thought with lingering fear.

Putting herself in her shoes, Oriana felt she absolutely could not tolerate such a lover, even if he was a cute and beautiful girl!
"Even so, to have multiple girlfriends at the same time, that Lin Wuming is no simpleton," Oriana sighed. "High school students these days are really something else. Let them have their own good fortune."
