A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1096 The Wind is Coming

Despite her usual capricious behavior and frequent refusal to obey orders, Sylvia, as a professional maid and bodyguard, is still able to distinguish between priorities.

An attack on the homeland from the left is undoubtedly a major event that should raise the highest alarm. Sylvia dared not continue to act recklessly and rushed back to her country immediately.

Therefore, Orelus was left to come to Academy City alone.

His target was very clear—Lin Wuming.

As he mentioned before, Orelus genuinely wanted to "admonish" the man who was stirring up trouble in the world, hoping that he would stop and restore world peace.

“Let me see…” O’Reilly manipulated his phone, “Lin Wuming is in… the hospital now, so he is still injured after all?”

However, considering that Avignon, a city that had been razed to the ground at the time, it was not surprising that Lin Wuming was injured.

After leaving the airport, O'Reilly checked his bearings and then headed towards the hospital.

The reason Orelus didn't choose to take a taxi directly to his destination was that he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the Academy City and to conceive his next course of action.

Although the purpose of Orelus's trip was to contact Lin Wuming and try to "persuade" him to love peace and stop provoking the deterioration of the world situation.

On the other hand, Orelers also knew that his idea was probably just wishful thinking and prejudice, and might even be wrong from the start—Lin Wuming himself might not have had any intention of making the situation worse.

Therefore, he needs to use this last stretch of the journey to observe and think, in order to decide what measures to take against Lin Wuming.

That's right, regardless of Lin Wuming's subjective will, the fact that "he is the core of the problem" will not change.

Therefore, in Orelers' view, solving Lin Wuming's problem is the key to solving the problem.

“The worst outcome would be having to take him down,” O’Reilly muttered to himself. “Based on the intelligence, taking him down shouldn’t be too difficult, but nobody wants to end up in a fight unless absolutely necessary.”

Just as Orelus was getting closer to his territory, the Wind Ahead arrived at the entrance to Academy City.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. The cross connected by thin chains swayed at her waist, faintly emitting a halo of light.

With a backhand motion, she drew her usual long-handled warhammer. Full of confidence, she swung the hammer without hesitation and smashed it against the city gate blocking her way.

……

"Huh? This is..."

As a special spell unfolded, Orelus suddenly turned to look southeast.

It is undoubtedly "magic," and of a very high quality.

Even in O'Reilly's own opinion, this technique was among the top-tier.

“Besides me…” Orelus was concerned, so he examined the evidence carefully. “It’s not Othinus either, so it must be those Christians… Did they summon angels? Or… the Right Seat of God?”

The French tourist city of Avignon could barely be considered part of the Roman Catholic Church's territory, and it was destroyed in battle a few days ago.

—Now, the Right Seat of God has appeared in Academy City. Is it for revenge?

Orelus pinched the bridge of his nose, looking troubled.

His purpose in coming here was not to cause trouble for Lin Wuming, but to try to maintain world peace and stability.

But at this very moment, it was the Right Seat of God in the Roman Catholic Church who was disrupting the peace. Thinking this, Orelus changed direction and headed towards the source of the magical fluctuations.

……

"As expected, the Roman Catholic Church couldn't hold back any longer." Thor stood on the rooftop, observing the surroundings through his binoculars.

“Should we get involved?” Marian asked.

“Of course not! This has nothing to do with us,” Thor said, shaking his head. “We just need to observe—our original purpose was to gather intelligence.”

As he spoke, Thor suddenly exclaimed, "It's the Wind Ahead, the legendary 'ultimate weapon among two billion' of the Roman Catholic Church! What a bizarre spell! Everyone who saw it fell down!"

"As expected of the Right Seat of God, he certainly has some strength!"

As they were talking, Thor suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Marian: "You can start doing what you need to do now. The attention of Academy City is currently drawn to that intruder, so this is a rare opportunity."

Marian scoffed, "I was already in action. If you hadn't suddenly called me over..."

“It’s not too late to go now!” Thor waved his hand. “Go quickly, be careful, and don’t get involved in the wars of the Roman Catholic Church.”

Marianne sat on the black barrel and turned to walk downstairs.

“And what about you?” Marian stopped at the stairwell doorway and asked, “Are you going to keep watching?”

Thor remained where he was, holding the telescope, showing no intention of moving.

"My mission is to gather intelligence," Thor said without turning his head. "With a powerful enemy attacking, Academy City's countermeasures are crucial intelligence! This is a rare opportunity, so of course I need to see it clearly!"

“Take back what you just said,” Marian said. “Watching the show is one thing, but don’t get involved yourself!”

Marian is a "craftsman," while Thor, in addition to being the "God of Thunder," is also considered a "God of War."

Thor did not deny it: "If they can provoke my fighting spirit, I wouldn't mind getting involved."

But...

Judging from the current situation, it is a one-sided "massacre" and cannot be called a "battle" at all.

The intruder was merely a young woman with an odd appearance, yet she faced a comprehensive set of defenses in Academy City.

Even so, the battle was one-sided from the very beginning.

The long-handled warhammer in her hand was not even of any use; Qianfangzhifeng simply carried the hammer forward. Wherever she went, whether it was the city defense troops, the guards, the disciplinary committee members, or just ordinary citizens or even tourists, everyone fell down in unison, losing consciousness and falling into a coma.

No exceptions!

Because of the great distance, Thor had no way of knowing whether those who were knocked down were actually dead.

But even if they are still alive, the strength of the wind ahead should not be underestimated.

It could even be said that defeating the enemy without killing them is actually more difficult.

The Right Seat of God is a closely guarded secret within the Roman Catholic Church, so even the Gremlin do not possess much information about it.

Thor couldn't help but ponder: if he were facing an opponent like the Wind Ahead, how could he possibly win?
