A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1107 The Low-Key Visitor

Orelus originally thought that Lin Wuming was the one who stirred up the situation and caused the conflict between the science and magic sides to escalate, so he came to Academy City to try to persuade him to cherish peace in his own way.

However, when he personally entered the fray, arrived in Academy City, and attempted to intervene in the incident, he discovered the complexity of the actual situation.

Even someone as powerful as Orelus felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to control his own destiny.

As planned, Orelus intended to persuade Lin Wuming, but was instead invaded by the wind ahead; so he wanted to stop the wind ahead first, but was repeatedly delayed by various unexpected events.

By the time they finally arrived at the scene, the battle was already over...

Orelus believes he has never had much luck, but he sees it as part of fate and doesn't try to fight against it; instead, he sees it as a warning.

—It was futile for me to try to stop Lin Wuming or Qianfangzhifeng.

After this series of setbacks, O'Reilly realized this deeply.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly felt something unusual happening behind him.

Turning around, he saw Lin Wuming standing behind him, silently watching him.

We were just in that spot a moment ago...

O'Reilly resisted the urge to turn back to where he had been, focusing all his attention on the man in front of him.

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Wuming asked, "because you've been watching me."

Because there was no one else around, Lin Wuming was quite sensitive to gazes directed at him and immediately locked onto Aureos.

Then came the "teleportation," bringing him behind Aureolus...

Orelus raised an eyebrow, but remained calm and nodded, saying, "Yes, Mr. Lin Wuming, I am observing you."

He didn't hide anything and chose to tell the truth: "Nice to meet you, please take care of me, I am O'Reilly."

The other party introduced himself, and Lin Wuming recalled for a moment before finally finding the name deep in his memory. A storm raged within him, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"The Norse god of winter, also the god of snow, archery, and hunting..." Lin Wuming said with a straight face, "Are you a magician? You dare to use the name of a legendary god to call yourself that, you must have some skill, right?"

“You seem to have a deep understanding of the magical realm,” O'Reilly said. “Then, have you ever heard of the Demon God?”

“Completely mastering the knowledge of the 103,000 magical books in the Forbidden Books Index will allow one to advance to the level of a Demon God,” Lin Wuming said. “That is a magician among magicians, a madman who uses the path of magic to explore the realm of the gods.”

After a slight pause, Lin Wuming feigned surprise and asked, "You are the Demon God?"

“I’m sorry, Mr. Lin Wuming, I am not yet a demon god,” O’Reilly said. “I missed the most crucial ritual, and as a result, I’ve become this half-baked person…”

As he spoke, Orelus showed his wounds without any hesitation—theoretically, he had followed the path of "mastering all magic and becoming a demon god," but in the end, he failed.

“Lin Wuming, we are not enemies,” O'Reilly said sincerely. “I did not come here to fight you.”

As he spoke, Orelus kept a close eye on Lin Wuming's every move, not missing a single one.

Beyond the verbal exchange, Orelus also personally verified Lin Wuming's true nature with his own eyes.

—To verify the doubts in my heart.

Lin Wuming indeed remained restrained, refraining from a violent attack and showing a willingness to communicate. O'Reilly couldn't help but sigh inwardly—he had completely misunderstood the situation.

“Mr. Lin Wuming, I deeply agree with your point about the World War,” O’Reilly said.

But before he could speak, Lin Wuming asked first, "So, what methods do you have to prevent a world war from breaking out?"

O'Reilly was taken aback, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Lin Wuming did not show any hostility towards this "quasi-demon god," but instead chatted with him in a very friendly manner for a few more minutes.

Because his girlfriends were all busy, no one was bothering Lin Wuming, and at this moment, Lin Wuming was surprisingly free.

Lin Wuming knew that O'Reilly was someone who almost became a demon god, so he was naturally willing to communicate more with this expert.

But Orelus had no interest in chatting there. After explaining the reason for his trip and apologizing for misunderstanding Lin Wuming, they finally parted ways.

After repeatedly confirming that Lin Wuming had left, O'Reilly finally breathed a sigh of relief—even though he had been passively drawn into the incident, Lin Wuming's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, if one's strength doesn't reach this level, even if one wanted to get involved in the incident, one probably wouldn't have the qualifications.
O'Reilly was lost in thought as he strolled through the streets.

When they came to their senses, they realized they had returned to the battlefield where the battle had taken place the night before.

This neighborhood was the most severely damaged, so it had long been cordoned off by the security forces and designated as a restricted area where unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter.

Of course, this "forbidden zone" that only has legal effect cannot stop Aureos's progress.

After realizing he had broken in, Aureos thought for a moment and decided to ignore it.

Since I don't plan to do anything anyway, I might as well just pretend I didn't see it.

So Aureos continued to stroll forward as if no one else was there, trying to cross this restricted area.

However, he soon discovered that there were already other people in this restricted area.

Two girls and a barrel—a strange combination.

Orelus immediately recognized them as the two magicians he had met at the airport the day before.

One of them was a rare black dwarf, which was the first time even Aureolus had ever seen one, so it left a deep impression on him.

As for the other one, he is a guy who uses magic to dress up as a woman—Aureos is also familiar with his magic.

However, it's understandable that Aureol, who is proficient in all kinds of magic, would be familiar with Thor's transformation magic.

Thor and Marian infiltrated this battlefield area to collect samples of "Unknown Matter".

According to Marian, she believed that the "Underworld Matter" was helpful to the demon god Othinus, so she wanted to collect some samples to take back for verification.

Thor naturally wouldn't refuse. Using transformation magic, he disguised himself as a female guard and brazenly led Marian, who was wearing a white coat, and a barrel disguised as a barrel robot into the "restricted area."

Combined with mental interference magic, the two of them can move freely here without being restrained.

As Orelus noticed them, Thor also noticed him. The two looked at each other from a distance, then nodded to each other and parted ways in perfect unison.
