A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 631 Entrustment
"What mission?" Before Index could protest, Kamijou Touma spoke loudly.

If this was the price he had to pay, Kamijou Touma wouldn't refuse.

After all, Kamijou Touma had vowed that even if the road ahead was hell, he would accompany Index. Not to mention that the price now was just to help Stiyl complete a mission.

Stiyl stared at him for a long moment, then exclaimed, "Well, your awareness saves me a lot of trouble. This..."

Stiyl tossed over a file bag. "Be careful with the information for this mission. I've marked it with runes. It will burn after reading."

"Don't worry." Kamijou Touma smiled and waved his right hand, "I'll be fine."

"Touma!" Index had no time to stop him and had to come over to look at the information with him. "You're too impulsive... Eh? Misawa Academy?"

Index, who possessed a perfect memory, memorized the contents of an entire page with just a glance and quickly extracted key words from her memory.

After being reminded, Kamijou Touma also noticed the mission location: "It really is Misawa Academy, isn't that where Wuming was before..."

Kamijou Touma looked up at Stiyl and said, "As expected, you're here for alchemy too!"

"Lin Wuming..." Stiyl bit the cigarette in his mouth and clicked his tongue slightly. "No wonder the chairman's attitude was a little strange. Did Lin Wuming take action beforehand?"

——But then again, even that Lin Wuming failed. It seems that Chairman Aleister was not exaggerating. That guy Oreos is indeed a tricky guy!
—What the hell, isn't he a recorder specializing in transcribing grimoires? How did he suddenly become such a powerful alchemist?

"Kamijo Touma," Stiyl suddenly said, "Can you contact Lin Wuming? It seems necessary to ask him to come out for a chat."

In order to obtain first-hand information, and also to ask Lin Wuming to take care of Index.

Stiyl planned to take Kamijou Touma with him to attack Misawa Academy, so he would have to leave Index alone - after all, it was impossible to bring her into such a dangerous battlefield.

This was probably one of the few things Stiyl and Kamijou Touma shared in common.

But on the other hand, apart from Kamijou Touma, Index has no one else to rely on in this city, and leaving her alone in this unfamiliar scientific city is obviously not reassuring.

Therefore, the only solution that can be thought of is Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming is one of the very few people in this city who knows Index's true identity and value, and who can be trusted - both in terms of strength and character.

……

On the other side, after more than a day of rest, Lin Wuming seemed to have forgotten his experience at Misawa Academy the day before yesterday. He completely resumed his normal life rhythm and began to enjoy his summer vacation.

Today, I was planning to go to the amusement park in the sixth school district with the girls at home; but just as I left the house, I received a call from Kamijou Touma.

"It's Kamijou Touma. I wonder what's going on." After seeing the caller ID, Lin Wuming said to the people around him.

"I have a bad feeling." Misaka Mikoto said.

"There's no need for a premonition..." Shokuhou Misaki understood more clearly, "So let's put the amusement park trip off to another day."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wuming said, "It seems that the schedule really needs to be postponed. Stiyl is here, I'll go see him. But don't worry, it should just be an information exchange."

"In that case," Tiger Bee Toumi said, "then let's go together. It's just on our way. Besides, it's just an information exchange. If Wuming doesn't need to go in person, we can continue to the Sixth School District as planned."

The proposal of the tiger bee to pass through the honey was unanimously agreed by everyone.

After the meeting, Stiyl did not say anything to Lin Wuming's team for their lack of tension. Instead, he felt more at ease to entrust Index to their care.

Moreover, the three of them seemed to have communicated with each other in advance. Index silently walked to Misaka Mikoto's side and joined this "travel team" without raising any objections, nor did she clamor to join them on the battlefield.

It turns out that adequate communication can prevent many problems. Index wasn't the willful, unreasonable type; if the reasons were explained clearly, she would accept reasonable arrangements. After everything was settled, Stiyl contentedly lit a new cigarette. Then, suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Mr. Lin Wuming, Kamijou Touma and I are going to deal with that alchemist. Do you want to come along..."

"No, of course not!" The girls, led by Shokuhou Misaki, said in unison.

Lin Wuming shrugged: "That's about it, how about I meet you outside?"

Lin Wuming knew very well that his strength had not improved substantially compared to the day before yesterday, so even if he fought against Oreos again, the result would probably not change substantially.

So there is no point in entering Misawajuku again.

Besides, now that Stiyl and Kamijou Touma, the "best partners", are in place, all he needs to do is wait for good news. Why should he get involved?

"Forget it, there's no need for you to help." Stiyl shook his head. "It's better to take Index away and protect her. That's the most powerful support. As for the alchemist..."

Stiyl laughed. "Let the magicians handle it. I'm a professional on this one."

"But I'm not a magician." Kamijou Touma protested softly.

"Stop complaining. You're my shield. All I have to do is wave my right hand!"

The two of them were arguing as usual and walked towards Misawa Academy.

"Kamijo Touma! Come on!" Lin Wuming shouted.

Kamijou Touma deftly maneuvered his wheelchair around on the spot: "Don't worry, I won't lose!"

Feeling that his movements were becoming more and more like Lin Wuming's, Kamijou Touma inexplicably felt more confident.

——If I could be as powerful and omnipotent as Wuming, then... there would be nothing to be afraid of!
After the two groups separated, Stiyl led Kamijou Touma forward.

However, when they came to the side of a busy road, Steele suddenly stopped.

Then he turned and looked at Kamijou Touma.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Kamijou Touma asked. "You were the one who said we needed to finish this mission quickly, right?"

"Your feet," Stiyl asked, staring at his feet, "are you really unable to walk?"

"It's not impossible for you to lend me a pair of crutches, but it will definitely reduce my efficiency and speed." Kamijou Touma looked over warily. "Let me make it clear, for me now, this wheelchair will definitely not be a burden in a battle!"

"Don't be nervous," Stiyl said with a smile. "I don't mean to force you to give up your wheelchair. I just called a taxi, and I'm not sure if you can get in right now... By the way, what's the top speed of this wheelchair?"

"If it's Wuming driving, it could easily exceed 100 mph," Kamijou Touma said, "but in reality, it's only around ten kilometers per hour."

"Tsk, so slow."

"This is a wheelchair, not a racing car!" Kamijou Touma rolled his eyes. "Besides, it can be folded and stored. It should be able to fit in the trunk of a normal taxi."

After confirming this, Stiyl nodded with relief.

Then he smoked silently while waiting for a taxi, while confirming the location of the vehicle through his mobile phone.

"I didn't expect you to think of booking a taxi..." Kamijou Touma couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
