A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 644 Troubles and Sighs

After bringing the guests into the room, the guide, Aoki Yuzuki, bowed slightly towards the huge test tube, then activated her ability again and left.

"Victorio, I'm sorry to say your operation has failed," Chairman Aleister said to the armored man before him. "And, your so-called action plan turned out to be a massive magical bombardment of my city."

The steel armor covering his entire body could not bring him any sense of security. As an official member of the Thirteen Knights of the Roman Orthodox Church, Vittorio felt as if he was exposed to the hunters without any protection and could die at any time.

"But...but in reality, our attack didn't cause any damage," the knight managed to say. "Our magic failed, and the choir suffered a backlash, resulting in heavy losses."

"This is good news for me," Chairman Aleister said bluntly. "Besides, you didn't 'not' cause any damage, you 'failed' to do so. Furthermore, whether the cross suffered heavy damage or not is irrelevant. I don't care."

"The Gregorian Choir was the best solution we could come up with," Vittorio explained. "We've minimized the collateral damage."

"Let's just leave it at that. You failed anyway." Chairman Aleister's momentum suddenly relaxed.

Vittorio secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt increasingly angry. With his life safe, as a knight and a devout believer, his dignity and honor once again took center stage.

More importantly, as a representative of Christianity, he could not allow the leader of the hostile force in front of him to underestimate the majesty of the Roman Orthodox Church.

"Of course we have ways to deal with the traitor, but due to the limitations of this special city, many methods cannot be used normally." After calming down, the knight continued.

"Is that so..." Chairman Aleister said, "I can give you one more chance. If you still fail, I will use my pawns. Then, you can't blame me for provoking a fight with the magic side."

- I see, is this what this monster wants? If we fail just once more, he can then openly proclaim that it was their scientific side that triumphed over Christianity!
Victoria felt that she had guessed what Chairman Aleister was planning, and she immediately became alarmed and didn't dare to be careless.

"Of course... no problem!" the knight said solemnly, "We've made all the necessary preparations, but we need to ship in a spiritual suit from the outside world. I hope you'll allow it."

"Haha, even if I don't let you in, you still have a way to get it in, right?" Chairman Aleister said. "I'll give you 24 hours. If you still can't solve the problem... then I'll take action."

……

After confirming that the Misawa Academy incident had been resolved, everyone felt relieved.

Because their interest was disturbed by the attack of Oleios, the girls had no intention of going to the amusement park anymore.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to help Himegami Aisa find a place to live, everyone held a tea party in Shokuhou Misaki's "palace" and called Lin Wuming over as well.

It was not until night fell and curfew time approached that the girls from Tokiwadai Middle School said goodbye and left together.

In addition to Toumi Touma returning to Family Side's home with Lin Wuming as usual, even Shokuhou Misaki returned to the dormitory in the Garden of Gakusha today.

Overall, Lin Wuming was actually quite satisfied with what happened today. After all, he obtained half a ton of gold, which was a huge windfall.

You know, in the past, those who fought for their own lives did not receive such generous "rewards".

——From now on, I probably won’t have to worry about money anymore.

Lin Wuming was thinking in his mind.

——This also means that I can focus on more troublesome things. For example... magic...

Lin Wuming was very clear that his "bullet time" had been developed to an outrageous level.

With the emergence of legendary physics beasts like Zeno's Tortoise, it's no exaggeration to say he's "invincible." The problem is, however, that his "invincibility" has considerable limitations, which is consistent with the characteristics of "bullet time"—good at saving lives but lacking in offensive capabilities.

If we compare them, the actual effect is probably far inferior to Accelerator's "vector operation".

Moreover, when facing strange and unpredictable magical attacks, simply defending is not a good method.

Just like in this incident, when facing Aureos—Aureos himself in Misawa Academy—I was almost in a passive state the entire time, and could only rely on "bullet time" to prolong my life...

"I guess I can forget about learning magic," Lin Wuming thought, "but I have to at least find a way to transform that 'turtle' into a divine beast that can be used for attack."

In this regard, Lin Wuming actually has some ideas and has even achieved some results, but in the final analysis it is still a "telekinetic acceleration cannon", just a version that shortens the acceleration distance and performs super acceleration.

No matter how things change, the essence remains the same, and it is essentially still a kind of "throwing stones".

Compared with Oleios's "Alchemy", it is really unoriginal and outdated.

——I really want that “Golden Great Evolution Technique”.

Regardless of its power, that state of being able to do whatever one wants and be omnipotent is, in a sense, exactly Lin Wuming's ultimate imagination of his own "telepathy".

If I could achieve that, I wouldn't have to worry even when facing strange and unpredictable magic, right?
Even if you look further ahead, only when you have control over a "world" will you have the confidence to face the devil in the future.

Alchemy is originally a major avenue in the field of magic, and it is not inconceivable that a demon god would be born based on this.

Lin Wuming had always had a suspicion: what if, in the original storyline, the alchemist Aureos hadn't suffered a personality breakdown, losing all his memories and skills, but had continued his training and progress...

In the future, with his "Golden Great Evolution Technique", it is not impossible for him to withstand the world reset by the demon god Othinus.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Wuming is willing to establish a good relationship with Oreos - his fate has been changed, and unlike the original plot, he still has a future.

Therefore, Lin Wuming wanted to see how high Oreos Isard could reach as an alchemist who had reached the pinnacle of his craft; and whether he could possess the power to resist the demon god Othinus as he had imagined.

The only regret is that Lin Wuming cannot verify this inference personally... Let alone the "Golden Great Evolution Technique", he can't even understand a copy of the "Emerald Jade Record" now, and he is destined to have no chance of becoming an alchemist.

After thinking about it, Lin Wuming sighed in his heart and found that he could only learn how to "throw stones".

"Ugh……"

"Huh?" Lin Wuming didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to really hear a sigh.

You know, because there are too many secrets that need to be hidden in his mind, Lin Wuming has always been expressionless, and tries his best to keep a calm and composed poker face - no matter how intense and rich his mental activities are, he will never really reveal them.

His "sigh" just now was just a psychological activity.

and so……

"Tiger Bee, what's wrong?" Lin Wuming turned to look at the girl behind him. Since it wasn't him, the one sighing could only be Tiger Bee. "That's rare. Are you worried about something?"
