A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1183 Forced Landing
Soon, Misaka Mikoto arrived at the 23rd school district again, but this time she came with Lin Wuming, Shokuhou Misaki, and many others.

They no longer act alone, but collectively as "nameless forces".

Because the time requirement for this operation is not so high, and there is no need to use rocket delivery or the unconventional method of orbital drop for travel, the girls certainly cannot let this opportunity pass them by.

Shirai Kuroko and Tomiko Tohmi naturally followed.

Even Misaki Shokuhou, who wasn't good at frontline combat, joined in the action—taking advantage of Lin Wuming's guilt, he couldn't refuse Misaki Shokuhou's little act of willfulness.

Junko Hokaze, who habitually "sticks" with Misaki Shokuhou, also boarded the plane at this moment.

The one responsible for piloting the supersonic passenger plane is an extra character.

Upon seeing a familiar face in the cockpit, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but gasp: "I knew you were being quiet, you've been waiting here all along..."

"What a pity," the extra character sighed, "I thought it would be just Nameless acting alone again this time."

After receiving takeoff clearance from the control tower, the extra individual skillfully began various operations.

"Hurry up and find a seat. The acceleration of this plane is ridiculous. Even you, Big Sister, could fall over if you're not careful," the extra character warned.

Misaka Mikoto hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to sit in the co-pilot's seat.

She came to the cockpit intending to take control of the aircraft, only to find that it was now staffed by her own people.

“But that’s fine too, since everyone on board is related,” the extra individual said. “Even if it’s destroyed by the enemy, it won’t implicate innocent people—Nameless will definitely be very satisfied with this setup.”

"Hey, don't jinx it," Misaka Mikoto said with a wry smile. "It would be terrible if it were really destroyed..."

"What's there to be afraid of?" the extra character said nonchalantly. "With us and Nameless here, do you think we'd be afraid of falling to our deaths?"

"That's enough, say less," Misaka Mikoto advised.

The supersonic passenger planes in Academy City have fully automatic navigation capabilities and can theoretically operate unmanned throughout the entire flight, hence the term "piloting an airplane." However, the actual tasks that the extra characters have to do are not many.

As the plane entered its flight path and began supersonic cruise, the extra individual and Misaka Mikoto became bored—because there was really nothing to do.

It wasn't until the plane entered the Arctic Circle and the outside temperature dropped sharply that the two women returned to the back cabin to change clothes with everyone else.

The battlefield this time was also the snowfields of Siberia, so the summer uniforms worn by the girls undoubtedly looked very thin.

Fortunately, warm clothing had been prepared on the plane in advance, and the girls had to change into winter clothes before officially arriving at the battlefield.

As for Lin Wuming and O'Reilly, they were no longer afraid of this level of cold, so they didn't bother to put on more clothes.

Orelus was politely ushered to the rear section of the cabin to make room for the girls to change.

Lin Wuming was left behind—all the girls present, except for Fanfeng Junzi, were in close "lover" relationships with Lin Wuming; it was just a normal process of changing winter clothes, and there was no need to avoid it.

Besides, at least the underwear will still be worn properly, so there's no risk of accidental exposure.

As for Junko Hokkaido, she didn't bother anyone else. She didn't take off her uniform, but simply put on a down jacket over it. With her "heavenly attire," Junko Hokkaido had an extremely strong physique, and even when she was only wearing a swimsuit while exploring the polar regions, she wouldn't get frostbite.

Amidst laughter and playful chatter, everyone finished changing their clothes.

Just then, Orelus, who had been invited to the next cabin, knocked on the door and barged in.

Seeing that the girls were all dressed and there was no embarrassing situation, O'Reilly secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered the important matter and quickly said, "I rarely fly, so I'm not very clear, but my intuition tells me that there seems to be something wrong with the flight path."

Upon hearing his words, Misaka Mikoto and the extra individual immediately turned around and ran back to the cockpit.

"The electronic map is displaying normally..." After checking, the extra character suddenly said, "No, the system has been hacked!"

Misaka Mikoto immediately made her move, a wisp of electricity flashing from her fingertips and striking the control panel.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Misaka Mikoto regained control of the onboard systems.

The hacker's methods weren't particularly sophisticated, but they hit a blind spot in people's thinking, making it completely unexpected that they would tamper with electronic maps used for navigation.

"So where exactly are we?" Lin Wuming asked.

He already had a poor sense of direction, and now he was completely lost, unable to distinguish east from west.

Orelus lowered his head, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the fuselage and see directly at the earth below.

"It's right in front of that town! We'll fly straight to our destination!"

According to their original plan, they intended to land at the nearest airport and then travel to "Misaka Town" by other means.

Unexpectedly, after a period of "lost navigation", they arrived directly at their final destination.

This is definitely not good news, because they came to rescue the trapped Misaka Sisters; and the reason they were trapped was because there were enemies here...

As predicted, the "prophecy" made by the extra character is about to come true.

"Get ready," Misaka Mikoto shouted back into the cabin, "This plane is probably doomed!"

"Mikoto," Lin Wuming shouted, "Try to make the plane land intact!"

Not everyone is as skilled at high-altitude rappelling as Lin Wuming.

"I'll try my best..." Misaka Mikoto suddenly widened her eyes, forcefully pounding on the pilot's seat of the extra character, "There's a big net in front of us!"

A net appeared thousands of meters in the air; such an unusual scene clearly indicated that the enemy had made their move.

"No! We can't dodge it!" the extra character shouted. "Besides, even though the net is made of metal, it's very difficult to manipulate!"

As an electric shock user, the extra individual immediately attempted to influence the "net" using electromagnetic force.

"I'll do it!" Misaka Mikoto unleashed her superpower, and electricity instantly filled the "net".

Just as the extra chapter mentioned, although it was made of metal, the "net" was difficult to manipulate—there was another force resisting her electromagnetic force.

Misaka Mikoto disregarded everything else and unleashed her electricity at the rapidly approaching "net".

It wasn't until the very last moment that they finally seized control and destroyed the "net," allowing the aircraft to pass through the hole in the "net" intact.

However, the wings were not so lucky, as they were torn to pieces by the "net".

The plane was forced to make an emergency landing on the spot.
