A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1091 Wave after wave

Throughout the entire ordeal, Bishop Piageo never received a single reinforcement, which put him at a significant disadvantage when facing the combined attack of Kanzaki Kaori and Kamijou Touma, leading to his swift defeat.

Ultimately, it can only be said that Bishop Piageo brought this upon himself; he reaped what he sowed and deserved to die.

After all, it was he who insisted on immediately launching the "Queen of the Adriatic" campaign to attack Academy City.

The Pope disagreed with his attack plan because Academy City was still in the midst of the Daihasei Festival, and in addition to the original citizens, there were also a large number of visitors from outside the city—these people should not be destroyed along with Academy City.

The Pope's final concession was to allow the use of "Queen of the Adriatic" to destroy Academy City, and this was based on the fact that the "Apostolic Cross" and "C-Document" operations had failed to achieve their intended purpose.

However, the Pope would never agree to further implicate innocent people.

As for the Right Fire, he should have been Bishop Piageo's biggest backer. Unfortunately, they ultimately couldn't work together because they were on different paths.

For Right Fire, Academy City is an enemy, and Lin Wuming is an enemy among enemies; however, he himself does not actually have any aversion to Lin Wuming or even the Science Side.

Even factional conflict wasn't considered particularly important by Right Fire.

Of course, from the perspective of the Roman Catholic Church, Fire on the Right does not mind destroying Academy City, this "hostile force".

However, if it involves unrelated people, then it's unnecessary; there's no need to make pointless sacrifices.

Piageo's attempt to eliminate the tourists along with the tourists is not something Fire on the Right wants to see.

As for the other two Right Seats of God, they had absolutely no interest in Bishop Piageo and, of course, would not come to his aid.

In addition, the encounter with the Amakusa fleet was so sudden that it took no more than an hour from the moment the two fleets met until the end of the battle.

In such a short time, even if the Roman Catholic Church wanted to provide support, it wouldn't have been able to send anyone.

In short, these things have nothing to do with Piageo, who has already been captured.

Amakusa-class ships went all the way, transferring directly to the large ships of the "Queen's Fleet" and returning to England.

—With the help of Sister Agnes's forces, they were able to barely control this large spiritual garment.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the British side received advance notice and sent people to meet them.

Upon arriving in England, Lin Wuming declined Kanzaki Kaori's invitation to visit the Church of Necessary Evil, and instead went to the nearest airport to board a supersonic passenger plane back to Academy City.

Touma Kamijou originally intended to fly back with them, but unexpectedly encountered Index at the airport—who had arrived on the same supersonic passenger plane.

“Because you’ll be staying here for a few more days,” said Steel, who arrived a little later and decided to meet up at the airport. “So we specifically brought Index over as well, since you’re her manager and we can’t be apart for too long.”

"Wait, why do I have to stay a few more days?" Kamijou Touma exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Tsuchimikado Motoharu. "Is there something you're hiding from me again?"

Tsuchimikado Motoharu spread his palms and shrugged: "How should I know? Don't forget I've been with you the whole time!"

Stiyl coughed lightly, then said, "The royal family summons me."

"Huh? The royal family?" Kamijou Touma exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't shout, what's so surprising!" Stiyl scolded. "Actually, the one we really want to summon is Index, the 'Index Forbidden Books.' You're just an accessory as an administrator, so why are you getting so worked up!" "I know!" Touma Kamijou wasn't disappointed; instead, he looked excited and apprehensive. "But I've never seen the Queen in person before! By the way, do I need any etiquette training?"

……

While Touma Kamijou was invited to London, Lin Wuming had already landed in the 23rd school district of Academy City.

Upon receiving the news, Shirai Kuroko had been waiting at the airport for a long time. After meeting, she didn't even have time for pleasantries before taking Lin Wuming and using "spatial teleportation" to rush to the hospital.

It was no secret that Lin Wuming was injured; they had already seen it in satellite footage.

Actually, the hospital had already sent an ambulance, but the girls still felt that the ambulance was too slow, so they specially asked Shirai Kuroko to come and pick them up at the airport so that they could get Lin Wuming to the hospital as quickly as possible.

That's why the other girls didn't come to the airport to pick them up.

Of course, this is just the surface reason; as for the actual situation...

Throughout the journey, Shirai Kuroko remained silent, speaking very little. Especially after seeing that Lin Wuming himself was still alive and kicking and seemed to be fine, she even omitted any words of concern or inquiry.

—Because of the awkwardness, the girls were all a little embarrassed to face Lin Wuming, who had just returned from his business trip; Shirai Kuroko had to come over because she was taking Lin Wuming to the hospital and couldn't avoid it.

I remember a few days ago when we used satellite communication with Lin Wuming, the girls made a solemn promise that they would send "Fuse Wind Slash" to Europe to support Lin Wuming.

As a result... Lin Wuming has already returned by plane, while "Feng Zhan Bing Hua" is still in the laboratory cooperating with the evolution experiment.

There's nothing wrong with the "Fuse Slash" upgrade plan itself, but the problem lies in the premise of "safety, controllability, and no side effects."

Feng Zhan Binghua herself was unwilling to lose her own will.

The biggest obstacle, "security," has added many twists and turns and troubles to this plan.

Even at this point, Kazakiri Hyouka had not yet completed the final adjustments!

That's why the girls who made promises and boasts to Lin Wuming back then felt somewhat ashamed to face him.

Lin Wuming didn't take it to heart. In any case, the result was that he defeated, or rather, drew with, Right Fire, and now he had returned to Academy City—that was enough.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor from the Underworld only glanced at Lin Wuming before stuffing him directly into the medical pod.

Lin Wuming was injured in many ways, but none of the injuries were particularly serious on their own, so the most efficient way to treat him was to hand him over to the fully automated medical pod.

As a prime example of Academy City being thirty years ahead of the outside world, the medical pod is one of the technologies that Lin Wuming values ​​most, after all, Lin Wuming himself is the biggest beneficiary of the medical pod.

“Although you have many and widespread injuries, fortunately none of them are particularly serious,” said the doctor from the Underworld Soul Chaser outside the medical pod. “Rest assured, you should be fully recovered by this time tomorrow.”

This is the power of a fully covered medical cabin!
While he was "taking a bath" in the medical pod, in Rome, on the other side of the world...

The fire on the right came out of a similar medical pod.
