A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 723 Outsider
After confirming that the fallen Aizali posed no threat, Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to pick up the obsidian dagger that had fallen to the ground and examined it closely.

But the result was somewhat disappointing—the dagger had nothing special about it. At least in Lin Wuming's opinion, the dagger had no other features besides being "sharp" and "pointed." It was essentially a blade-shaped object made from a single piece of obsidian, belonging to the Neolithic style.

If it weren't for the fact that it could be used to perform disintegration magic, this thing would be nothing more than a work of art.

Aizali did not show any regret, seemingly unconcerned about the fact that his spirit costume had been confiscated.

"Tell me, why did you attack me?" After fiddling with the obsidian dagger for a while, Lin Wuming asked, "There shouldn't be any grudge between us, right?"

Seemingly finally recovering, Aizali struggled to sit up, staring at Lin Wuming with a gloomy expression and questioning, "You were on a date with another girl today, weren't you?"

"What did the other girls say..." Lin Wuming muttered, then said, "Yes, I was indeed on a date when I was attacked—is that why you attacked me?"

Is this guy a member of the FFF group? Does he not like seeing other people on dates?

Lin Wuming couldn't understand Aizali's logic at all.

In the original work, he did attack Kaihara Mitsuki, but that was to impersonate him and get close to Misaka Mikoto...

"Could it be..." Lin Wuming felt like he had guessed something.

"You're so openly spending time with other girls, what about Misaka Mikoto?" Sure enough, Izali questioned sharply.

"..." Lin Wuming was speechless for a moment.

Is it really because of such a ridiculous reason?

Misaka Mikoto? That girl was following us right behind us...

Lin Wuming thought to himself, but he obviously couldn't say it out loud, nor was there any need to explain it to other unrelated outsiders.

Moreover, Lin Wuming was also aware of his own somewhat chaotic love life.

Although she always jokingly laments that "this is impossible" and "it's all an illusion," recently, more and more facts and details have been proving to Lin Wuming that not only Misaki Shokuhou, but also Misaka Mikoto and Toumitsu the Tiger Bee have feelings for her.

No, perhaps it's gone beyond just "having a good impression".

For Lin Wuming, this development was so surreal that it was almost unbelievable.

Under these circumstances, Lin Wuming had no time to think calmly, and naturally, he was even less able to give a clear response to the girls' feelings.

We have no choice but to deal with each situation as it comes and take it one step at a time.

So she readily accepted Misaki Shokuhou's invitation to a date.

Now, suddenly someone appears and confronts Lin Wuming, asking him where he places Misaka Mikoto's feelings... and he really hits the nail on the head.

It's important to know that in the original story, Izari betrayed his original organization, stayed alone in Academy City, and even joined the dark organization "Group," all to protect Misaka Mikoto...

So Lin Wuming knew that this guy was genuinely questioning him from the bottom of his heart.

The most troublesome thing is that Lin Wuming knows he has no way to answer his questions.

In a sense, this has become Lin Wuming's self-questioning; he can't keep deceiving himself, can he?
Seeing Lin Wuming remain silent, Aizali continued, "See? You womanizer, you're just playing with girls' feelings!"

"Hey, what are you saying..." Lin Wuming felt he had to defend himself. If he really wanted to play with their feelings, would he be here worrying?

Regardless of the so-called original plot, the fact is that Aizali is a complete stranger to them. Lin Wuming's self-blame is one thing, but being accused by a stranger... is really inexplicable.

Moreover, after regaining his senses, Lin Wuming found this guy who had exposed his shortcomings to his face even more annoying.

—If I had known, I wouldn't have asked that question. I would have just knocked him out and thrown him in jail.
As Lin Wuming's emotions fluctuated, the psychic energy around him intensified, surging towards Aizali once again with menacing force.

This time, even Aizali could clearly see the air distorting...

Oh no, I've angered this guy.

Aizali felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had already realized that his death was imminent.

"You can't possibly make Misaka Mikoto happy!" he shouted defiantly. "So how long are you going to keep bothering her? Just let go!"

"..." Lin Wuming actually felt amused. In an instant, his anger and killing intent vanished, and he felt like he was watching a clown.

Just as Lin Wuming was becoming increasingly speechless, someone suddenly rushed out from a corner behind him.

She threw off the baseball cap she was wearing to disguise herself, and Misaka Mikoto strode up to Lin Wuming, standing between him and Aizali, glaring fiercely at Aizali.

"How long are you going to keep spouting nonsense here!"

"Bilibili" was crackling with electricity as Misaka Mikoto strode forward aggressively, grabbed "Kaihara Mitsuki" by the collar, and shook him violently.

The magician Aizali was speechless, only trembling all over.

"Mikoto, calm down," Lin Wuming said quickly. "This guy... he shouldn't be able to withstand electricity."

Misaka Mikoto let out an "Ah!" and quickly extinguished the electric sparks leaking from her body.

Fortunately, the electric current leaked when Misaka Mikoto was emotionally agitated was not fatal, so Aizali convulsed for a while before gradually calming down.

"Speaking of which, if you're not the real Kaihara Mitsuki-senpai, then who are you?" Misaka Mikoto glared at Aizali. "You don't even dare to show your true face, what right do you have to criticize this nameless senior! Besides, you know absolutely nothing about our affairs, so how dare you spout nonsense here?"

"..." Aizali was clearly also stunned by the extraordinary unfolding before him. Realizing that the person standing in front of him was Misaka Mikoto herself, he murmured in a defensive tone, "But Lin Wuming really..."

"I know that Senior Nameless was indeed on a date with that Queen Bee today!"

Behind her, Misaka Mikoto appeared, and Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes.

Aizali looked even more astonished: "Huh? You know?"

"What else did you think?" Misaka Mikoto questioned bluntly. "Like you think, I was deceived?"

"Is not it?"

Crack!

The girl's hair stood on end in a fit of rage; the intense electrical discharge caused Misaka Mikoto's hair to stand on end and shoot straight into the sky.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end: "Huh? You're saying I was tricked?"
