A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 724 Misaka Mikoto's Assault

“I… I… said…” Misaka Mikoto stood aggressively in front of Aizali and said, word by word, “My affairs, my life, I don’t need anyone else to tell me what to do! I know very well what I’m doing, and I know even better what I want!”

As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto made a decision, suddenly turned around, and focused her gaze and will on Lin Wuming, as well as Misaki Shokuhou and Toumi Tohmi further behind.

“And another thing,” the girl’s body crackled with dazzling electricity, “I will never give up, I will never admit defeat… No, I will definitely win!”

"Sister...Big Sister?" Shirai Kuroko looked over with a complicated expression.

In addition, Shirai Kuroko noticed that Shokuhou Misaki, who was beside her, had a very unusually serious expression.

You should know that this woman, who is known for her mystique, has always been able to deal with any situation with a sweet smile, as if she were wearing a smiling mask.

—And now, because of her older sister's declaration, has Her Majesty the Queen even forgotten about her mask?

Misaki Shokuhou was indeed somewhat preoccupied. Her intuition told her that the situation was rapidly deteriorating in some uncontrollable direction.

Only Misaki Shokuhou knew that in this competition against the nameless senior, Misaka Mikoto was a player who was born with a cheat code.

After all, from the very beginning, the nameless senior had a maximum level of affection for "Misaka Mikoto"!
It's obvious that, given the nameless senior's passive and mild-mannered personality, if Misaka Mikoto were to take the initiative and be a little more assertive...

"Nameless Senior!" The electric light on Misaka Mikoto's body subsided, returning to calm, but her eyes still contained will and emotion as she looked at Lin Wuming.

Just as Misaki Shokuhou had predicted, Misaka Mikoto, seemingly acting out of character, seemed to be using the courage and drive she had finally mustered to launch an offensive, taking advantage of this emotional outburst.

—The nameless senior... absolutely cannot withstand this attack!
—Something must be done to interrupt the unfolding of the plot!

—Tiger Bee, do you have any ideas? Anything is fine, as long as we can distract the nameless senior, even if it's just for a moment!
Misaki Shokuhou gripped the remote control tightly—she was unwilling to use her superpowers to cheat unless absolutely necessary.

However, now seems to be the time when "it's a last resort".

—Okay, I have a way.

The reply from the tiger bee's honeycomb made Misaki Shokuhou breathe a sigh of relief.

—Then it's up to you, get moving... Wait, are you serious?!

Realizing exactly what kind of action the tiger wasps were taking to penetrate the honeycomb, Misaki Shokuhou almost cried out.

"Absolute Penetration"—Tiger Bee Honey activated her ability, and the ribbon in her hand shot out like a black lightning bolt, its target... "Kaihara Mitsuki"!
Tiger Bee was serious and showed no mercy. Her only goal was to kill that imposter, Kaihara Mitsuki!
Misaki Shokuhou knew that this girl truly thought and acted in accordance with these words, demonstrating a perfect unity of knowledge and action. That's why she exclaimed in surprise.

—The nameless man doesn't like me killing people without reason, so he will definitely stop me.

Tiger Bee responded calmly, his emotions stable and without the slightest ripple.

Sure enough, although the Tiger Bee's Honeybee attack speed was getting faster and faster, Lin Wuming still noticed it immediately and then tried his best to block the attack.

“Tiger Bees…” Lin Wuming looked back helplessly, but he also felt somewhat like he had “escaped a disaster.”

I had a feeling that Misaka Mikoto was about to do something, and that if I responded... things would probably really turn upside down, right?
Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, but her initial enthusiasm waned, and she ultimately failed to utter the words she had been holding back.

She wasn't particularly assertive to begin with, and that attack just now was the result of a confluence of favorable circumstances, so there's unlikely to be a second chance in the short term.

In fact, for a moment just now, Lin Wuming thought that Hufeng Toumi's sudden attack was aimed at Misaka Mikoto!

After all, Lin Wuming knew from the beginning that Hu Feng Tou Mi was a bit "crazy"—and he had even experienced it firsthand.

Therefore, it's not surprising that this girl would do anything in a state of emotional turmoil. That's why Lin Wuming went to great lengths, using his Nen abilities to stop the tiger bee's assassination attempt.

Only after taking action did Lin Wuming realize that the assassination target was Aizali...

If only I had known...

Of course, it's not that they would truly stand by and watch someone die, but at least they wouldn't go to such lengths to stop them.

"I think it's fine not to stop the nameless senior," Misaki Shokuhou added, as if to deliver a scathing remark. "This guy was an enemy, and it's quite reasonable for him to be killed in a counterattack during the battle."

—I suddenly feel sorry for Aizali.

Lin Wuming thought to himself.

Aizali seems to have his own reasons and purposes, but in the end, everyone wants to kill him.

In any group, there must always be someone who remains calm to prevent the entire group from going berserk.

Now, with the girls around him going berserk one by one, Lin Wuming has no choice but to take on the responsibility of "staying calm".

So much so that his own anger toward Izali was greatly diminished.

While comforting the girls around him, Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to lift Aizali up and urge him to leave.

"If you don't want to die, run as far away as possible; and don't ever show your face in front of us again," Lin Wuming said. "Next time, we might not be in the mood to let you off the hook."

In the end, Aizali left looking bewildered and dejected.

The psychological impact seemed to have a greater effect on him than the physical pain.

As for Lin Wuming, none of the girls said anything about him letting Aizali go.

Ultimately, ever since Aizali was defeated and it was confirmed that he posed no threat to Lin Wuming, no one cared about him anymore.

What they care about most are ultimately their own internal affairs.

After her mind calmed down, Misaka Mikoto reflected on her performance just now.

Although there was some regret, it was immediately overwhelmed by an even stronger sense of shame.

Misaka Mikoto lowered her head, not daring to look up, but those who knew her well noticed that the girl's cheeks were already flushed.

This time, Misaki Shokuhou didn't make any jokes as usual, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

When they get arrogant, eccentric, and reckless, they can be quite terrifying.

"Kuro...Kuroko, it's getting late, let's hurry back!" Misaka Mikoto immediately chose a strategic retreat. "Nameless senpai, that's it, we're leaving now! See you tomorrow!"

"Hey? Big sister? Slow down..."

Lin Wuming didn't try to stop her. Instead, he rubbed his temples and said, "Then, shall we go back too?"
