A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1162 Magic Society
Lin Wuming did not immediately agree to Yun Chuanqin's request. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, you have information about 'Gremlin'?"

“It doesn’t know more than my sister.” Yun Chuanqin shook her head. “It’s a dangerous organization. After realizing that, we stopped investigating it—while we were peering into the abyss, we were also bound to attract its attention.”

Given the existence of such extraordinary beings as demon gods, Academy City's caution is understandable.

Moreover, not long ago, Academy City's main enemy was the Roman Catholic Church. Faced with this world-class organization, Academy City was indeed unwilling to provoke another powerful enemy.

As for now...

Lin Wuming then asked, "Yun Chuan, do you want to stop the investigation of 'Gremlin,' or do you only want to stop Yun Chuan Juya from continuing the investigation?"

Yun Chuanqin smiled: "Of course it's the latter. My sister is just an ordinary Level 3, a secretary working for you. She can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

In other words, the investigation will continue, but the person in charge will change from Yun Chuan Juya to Lin Wuming.

This is also one of the reasons why Yun Chuanqin chose to negotiate with Lin Wuming face to face; she had to find a way to persuade Lin Wuming to take over this mess.

“Right now, only you, Lin Wuming, have enough strength and influence to take on this mission,” Yun Chuanqin said.

Lin Wuming, who has just returned victorious from the Siberian battlefield, has become a symbol of Academy City, and together with Accelerator, he has become a symbol of the pinnacle of "espers" power.

The outcome and details of that great battle could not be concealed and had already been transmitted to various organizations and forces around the world through various means.

By this point, Lin Wuming had become the universally recognized representative figure of Academy City.

Therefore, with Lin Wuming taking the lead, many things will become smoother in various ways.

"Alright, I'll talk to Yun Chuan Juya later." Lin Wuming didn't refuse and finally nodded in agreement.

Since I was going to investigate "Gremlin" anyway, now that I can legitimately use the power of Academy City, why not?
Moreover, according to Yun Chuan Qin Ya's intention, Lin Wu Ming's real role was to be nominally involved in the project, while the actual work would still be done by the original team, including Yun Chuan Ju Ya—she could continue doing her previous work without any impact.

Lin Wuming's biggest role as "leader" is to take the fall for his subordinates. If "Gremlin" gets angry and comes knocking, Lin Wuming will be the first person they look for...

Looking at the highly intelligent girl in front of him, Lin Wuming felt more and more certain that he had guessed correctly—this was Yun Chuanqin's real plan.

She didn't want her sister to be in danger, nor did she want to stop her sister from fulfilling her wish—to find Kihara Kagura.

Therefore, asking Lin Wuming to intervene is the best solution at present.

This appears to be an exploitation of Lin Wuming... and that is indeed the case, but Yun Chuanqin doesn't see anything wrong with it.

A leader is someone who does this job, and when necessary, it is only right to use oneself as bait and go into dangerous situations.

Yun Chuanqin held herself to this standard, so naturally she would apply the same standard to Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming was naturally indifferent. In his view, the demon god Othinus was the last obstacle in his way. As long as he could get through it safely, he could then enjoy the peaceful daily life he had always dreamed of.

Of course, according to the original plot, many other demons and monsters will appear and cause trouble after the incident with the demon god Othinus, but Lin Wuming, who will now possess "power sufficient to fight against the demon god," will have more options. At least, when Lin Wuming wants to stay out of it, no one or force will force him to participate.

For that free and beautiful future, Lin Wuming doesn't mind working harder now.

Seeing that Lin Wuming agreed without much hesitation, Yun Chuanqin was also very satisfied.

After secretly letting out a sigh of relief, she reminded him again, "'Gremlin' is far stronger than it appears on the surface, so please be careful."

After all, she wanted Lin Wuming to help her, not to harm him. According to the information Academy City currently has, "Gremlin" has already demonstrated considerable strength, but this is far from the full extent of "Gremlin's" power.

Although the active investigation has been suspended, based on the analysis of existing intelligence, Yun Chuanqin can conclude that "Gremlin" has far exceeded the organization that a "magic club" should be.

It's no exaggeration to say that almost every magician with a bit of fame in Northern Europe has some connection with the "Gremlin"!

It is important to understand that after the "war" in Siberia ended, the entire world order underwent irreversible and significant changes.

The era when the Church represented the entire "magic side" on its own is gone forever; with the suppression of the world's largest organization gone, the true "magic side" has finally surfaced.

Thus, magic became "semi-public"—one of the consequences of this "war," since the remains of the "golden arms" scattered all over the world were irrefutable evidence, and people could only explain it as "magic."

Aside from mysterious magic, I can't think of any other power that could create such a thing!

Then, within a single day, countless occult organizations emerged.

Europe, a battlefield, already had a strong mystical atmosphere and numerous magical societies. Now, seizing the opportunity, they have turned the tide.

Of course, many of these are simply groups of occult enthusiasts, or criminal organizations that use the name of occultism to make money; for a time, the real and the fake were mixed together, and no one knew which were genuine and which were just fakes in name only.

Among these organizations of varying quality, the Gremlin is undoubtedly the most powerful and dangerous! A powerful organization that even Academy City must handle with caution!

After emphasizing this again, Yun Chuanqin turned her attention to Lin Wuming's lower body: "By the way, why are you back in a wheelchair? As far as I know, you didn't suffer such serious injuries during this trip to Siberia, did you?"

"I'm used to it, don't worry about it." Lin Wuming patted the wheelchair.

Yun Chuanqin raised her hand to brush a strand of bangs from her forehead, taking the opportunity to cover her sharp eyes.

“Nameless classmate,” she cautioned, “don’t rely too much on your superpowers!”

After the two finished discussing, their lunch break was almost over.

On his way back to the classroom, Lin Wuming was blocked in the corridor by Accelerator.

—By the way, Accelerator seemed to have something he wanted to talk to me about all day.
