A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 682 Target Locking
Back to the Drive Armor side, since Lin Wuming left, there were only girls left present.

Despite this, the situation became even more tense without Lin Wuming, who was able to calm the situation.

Maizono Shiori's dissatisfaction with Misaka Mikoto was almost beyond words. He always glared at Misaka Mikoto unconsciously, as if he wanted to find fault.

Because they have dealt with each other more than once, Misaka Mikoto is well aware of her attitude towards her. In addition, Misaka Mikoto herself is a competitive person, so it is natural that she will not give in.

The two Level 5s, "A Certain Scientific Railgun" and "Atomic Disaster," faced each other from a distance.

It was not until their companions could no longer bear it and stepped forward to persuade them that they finally let go of their grudges temporarily.

"Really? This is so troublesome..." Misaka Mikoto felt tired and couldn't help but complain.

After all, she was the third, so she had no problem with the fourth, Mai Ye Shenli. The confrontation just now was just because she didn't want to weaken her momentum.

——Anyway, even if I give in, it will not satisfy the other party, so I might as well confront them head-on and refuse to give in.

At least doing this will make you feel much happier.

Shokuhou Misaki, who ranked fifth, just watched the show the whole time and had no intention of getting involved at all.

"Stop gloating," Misaka Mikoto complained as she came to Shokuhou Misaki's side, "Why did you let Wuming-senpai leave? If he were here, I wouldn't have to work so hard."

Shokuhou Misaki didn't answer directly, but raised her chin and motioned Misaka Mikoto to look forward.

At this time, the four-member "Props" team was surrounding the crystal they had just found in the cockpit of the drive armor, seemingly investigating.

Misaka Mikoto followed her gaze and looked over, confused: "Speak, I can't hear your heart..."

"Ah..." Shokuhou Misaki sighed, looking disappointed. "Misaka, what do you think of the four girls on the other side?"

"The other side... the 'Tool' quartet? They're pretty good, even though they're an Anbu organization." Misaka Mikoto had no prejudice against them. "Oh, except for Mugino Shiori, she's pretty annoying."

In Misaka Mikoto's opinion, Franda is very cute, Kinuhata is very handsome, and Takitsubo Riko's lazy look makes it easy for people to feel close to her.

Moreover, all the members are beautiful girls of above-average level. It is a bit of a waste of their talents to be part of an Anbu organization. They can definitely become idols and debut as a group.

Even Maito Shiori, who Misaka Mikoto has the most prejudice against, is actually a great beauty as long as she doesn't speak.

For example, now, maybe because he has nothing to do, Mai Ye Shenli is quietly daydreaming.

A fashionable long skirt perfectly outlines the figure.

Just looking at this scene, who would have thought that this beautiful girl is actually the leader of the Anbu organization who kills people without blinking an eye?
She has the temperament of a rich lady even more than the students of Tokiwadai.

——Come to think of it, after all, he's only a high school student, not much older than me. About the same age as Wuming Senior... Huh?

Misaka Mikoto suddenly reacted and turned her head to look at Shokuhou Misaki.

Judging from his temperament, among the girls that Wuming-senpai knew, it seemed that only Shokuhou Misaki and Mugino Shiori would not look out of place standing next to Wuming-senpai. As for the others—including Misaka Mikoto herself—when they were with Lin Wuming, they always had a feeling of "adults accompanying children."

"I see," Misaka Mikoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki, "that's why you let Wuming-senpai leave..."

The competition is already fierce enough, there is really no need to add more inexplicable competitors.

Shokuhou Misaki refused to admit it and rolled her eyes instead: "Don't let your imagination run wild, Misaka-san! The people on the other side are the ANBU organization, and Wuming-senpai is a 'hero,' representing the dark and light sides respectively. If someone discovered that Wuming-senpai was hanging out with the ANBU organization... it would have a bad impact."

"Is that really the case?" Misaka Mikoto didn't believe this explanation. "Humph, you say one thing and mean another."

"Really?" Shokuhou Misaki explained with a smile. "Unlike Misaka-san, who only cares about fighting, I excel at manipulating information. So, I understand the importance of intelligence—don't underestimate the power of intelligence and rumors, or you'll suffer."

Misaka Mikoto was silent. Since it came to her professional field, she really couldn't refute what Shokuhou Misaki said.

Unlike Lin Wuming who has the title of "hero", Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki are also level 5, but if they work together with the Anbu organization, there will be no problem.
After all, they are just “ordinary citizens”.

"Oh, Kuroko!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly remembered that there was a "companion of justice" present.

Shirai Kuroko stayed by Misaka Mikoto's side the whole time, so she heard everything Shokuhou Misaki said.

"Don't worry, I'm not in a high position like Wuming Senior." Shirai Kuroko said calmly, "As an ordinary discipline committee member, I don't know anything about the Anbu organization. Today I'm just acting as a discipline committee member."

"By the way," Misaka Mikoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki again, "is it really okay to just hand over the crucial evidence to them? Even though we agreed to work together, but... I still feel a little unwilling."

Misaka Mikoto has no ill feelings towards "props", but she is inevitably irritated by Maito Shiori's attitude.

In short, I don’t want to lose!
"Humph, who do you think I am?" Shokuhou Misaki said proudly, "I checked it thoroughly before handing it over to them."

"Did you gain anything?" Misaka Mikoto asked quickly.

"We also want to know," said Mai Ye Shen Li and the other three, who also came over here at this time, "what clues the famous Queen Bee has found."

Mai Ye Shenli seemed to be in a good mood, so he must have gained something.

"Tell me about your findings first." Shokuhou Misaki looked at Takitsubo Rikou, "Your ability tracking should have revealed something."

"Yes, that's right." Takitsubo Rikou nodded, then raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction. "Over there, the person who uses their ability to control this drive armor is in this direction."

"We're ready to act immediately," Mai Ye Shenli said. "We'll fight quickly and end the war. What about you?"

Shokuhou Misaki uttered a single word: "Study."

"Study Corporation—it's said to be one of the equipment suppliers for the security forces," Shokuhou Misaki introduced. "One of their most important products is the Drive Armor."

"You mean, this drive armor...the one that attacked Franda was from the company called Study?" Mai Ye Shenli raised his eyebrows and said.
