A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1119 The British Incident
Seeing the situation outside, Misaka Misuzu felt a sense of lingering fear, but then she couldn't help feeling somewhat relieved—at least within Academy City, everything was still peaceful and serene.

Aside from a brief moment of panic when the alarm first sounded, Academy City quickly returned to order—slightly different from usual, but certainly orderly.

The impression is that this city seems to have become accustomed to such emergencies.

After that, the citizens went to school and work as usual, and continued their recreational activities after school and get off work, just like usual.

Apart from the city gates and airport flights remaining closed, nothing else seemed particularly unusual.

Academy City's reaction was so calm that some suspected the attack might have been orchestrated by the Board of Directors...

……

"Damn it, we've been completely fooled! What kind of terrorist attack was this? It was all staged!" Stiyl crushed the cigarette in his hand. "It was all Princess Kellya's conspiracy."

"What happened?" Touma Kamijou, who was traveling with him, asked, scratching his head. "From my limited understanding... was there a coup?"

In order to investigate the magical society "New Light"—the suspect in the destruction of the underwater tunnel—Touma Kamijou is tasked with a critical mission and works alongside Stiyl.

During the investigation, it was discovered that "New Light" was carrying out another, even more dangerous plan—a sinister plan that, if mishandled, could even endanger the very foundation of the United Kingdom!
In order to capture them and stop their plans, "Imagine Breaker" Touma Kamijou is commissioned by the British Royal Family to carry out the operation.

Meanwhile, the Church of Necessary Evil of the British Puritans also mobilized its elite forces, determined to bring those magical terrorists to justice.

As "old partners" with multiple collaborations, Touma Kamijou and Stiyl team up again.

During the investigation, they discovered various suspicious points, so they traced the source and launched a further investigation, eventually finding their way back to the original undersea tunnel case...

Just then, bad news came from London.

—The headquarters of the Church of Necessary Evil was attacked, and all church members were wiped out and their whereabouts are unknown.

The attackers were none other than their theoretical allies—the Knights.

Although the Church of Necessary Evil was also an institution that exercised violence, in essence, they were merely a church institution under the Anglican Church of England, and in terms of scale and number of members, they could not compare with the dedicated military organization "The Knights".

Especially when the opponent is caught off guard, the outcome of this battle is even more ominous.

Stiyl and Touma Kamijou were currently in the underwater tunnel, far from headquarters, and had no time to rush back to join the battle.

But it could also be said that it was precisely because of this that they escaped a calamity and were not wiped out by the Knights!
"Isn't Kanzaki Kaori at headquarters?" Kamijou Touma said. "She's a saint; with her there, there shouldn't be any problems!"

“We can’t be so confident.” Stiyl frowned. “If we’re fighting on home soil, the Knights will have a huge advantage, and there’s also that unfathomable Knight Commander… Given his personality, he’s definitely already prepared to deal with Kanzaki.”

"Knight Commander..." Kamijou Touma thought of the man who had been nearly killed by the water from behind on the beach outside Academy City not long ago, "He wasn't that strong, was he?"

Stiyl rolled his eyes: "Don't compare yourself to William. Not everyone can stand up to the Rear Waters head-on!"

As he spoke, Stiyl swiftly arranged rune cards, constructing search and communication spells. After some effort, he finally made contact with Jian Gongzhai.

Among the Church of Necessary Evil, the Amakusa-style group has the most combat and escape experience. He believes that even if faced with a full-scale siege by the Knights, the original Amakusa-style members would be able to escape unscathed.

As expected, according to Kenmiya Saiji's description, they had indeed all evacuated and escaped safely... except for the female pope Kanzaki Kaori.

Not only the original Amakusa-style group, but everyone at the headquarters of the Church of Necessary Evil escaped successfully—because Kanzaki Kaori personally covered their retreat and held off their pursuers.

However, when facing the Knight Commander, Kanzaki Kaori was no match for him, was defeated and seriously injured!
In the end, it was Jian Gongzhai who led a charge and risked everything to save the situation.

When Steele contacted Jian Gongzhai, they were resting in a safe house in the countryside.

Because it was a safe house set up by the Amakusa clan themselves, even the Church of Necessary Evil was unaware of it, so its concealment was very reliable, and there was no need to worry about being found by the Knights in the short term.

"But all we can do is hide here and help heal the Pope." Kenji's tone was filled with barely concealed frustration. "The Knight Commander has become stronger, ridiculously strong, completely different from his usual self! Although we are very unwilling, we are no match for him and there is nothing we can do!"

If the enemy were a saint, the Amakusa-style men could still fight back. However, the Knight Commander is not a saint, yet he has shown strength greater than that of a saint, leaving them powerless.

"Never mind that for now..." Touma Kamijou leaned in, pushing Stiyl aside, and quickly asked, "Index, how is Index? Is she safe?"

“I’m sorry, we weren’t with her,” Kenji said. “All I know is that Index escaped successfully during the Knights’ raid and wasn’t captured at the time.”

But after that, the character "建宫斋" became unclear.

Kamijou Touma was not satisfied with this answer, but he also knew that he couldn't be too demanding of Kenmiya Saito and the others.

So all I could do was anxiously pace around in circles.

Originally, Touma Kamijou felt that the mission to hunt down "New Light" might be dangerous, so he didn't bring Index along, but left her in the safe rear headquarters.

Who would have thought that it would be the headquarters that was attacked!

"Calm down, don't panic," Stiyl said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Index is very good at escaping, so there's no need to worry about her safety for now. The biggest problem right now is that the Knight Commander has become stronger. To stop this conspiracy, we first need to find a way to defeat the Knight Commander!"

Without a doubt, this is a difficult task.

Kenmiya Saiji's vision and judgment could not be wrong, and the fact that even Kanzaki Kaori was injured proves the strength of the Knights Commander.

Although Stiyl was always confident in his abilities, he didn't think he could defeat the Commander of the Knights.

"If only Nameless were here," Touma Kamijou suddenly said. "No matter how strong the Knight Commander is, Nameless could definitely defeat him, right?"

“We can’t always rely on others, Kamijou. This is our own business,” Stiyl said. “Besides, Lin Wuming is on the other side of the world. Even if we ask him for help, he can’t come over right away, can he?”
