A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 726 Wind Slashes Ice Flower
The figure's presence was so natural, as if it had been there from the very beginning, that even though Lin Wuming and the others clearly saw her appear out of thin air, they did not feel anything unusual.

"A female high school student?" Misaki Shokuhou squinted at her.

Across the street stood a beautiful young woman with long, straight black hair. Her enviable long hair reached down to her thighs, with a small tuft of hair framing her face and tied back with a hair tie, giving her an air of elegance with a touch of playfulness.

The girl wore thin-rimmed glasses, and from a distance, only the reflection of the lenses could be seen, giving her a somewhat mysterious appearance.

Aside from these two rather noticeable features, this girl has no other distinguishing characteristics.

She was wearing a summer girls' uniform, a combination of a short-sleeved shirt and a red tie, with a blue uniform skirt on the bottom.

In short, the uniform styles are so ubiquitous that they make it instantly recognizable as "Ah, this is a female high school student."

However, to determine which school she belongs to... it's impossible to tell just by looking at her uniform.

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou's assessment was actually quite accurate—just a female high school student... nothing more.

The girl who suddenly appeared before me seemed to be the final embodiment of the concept of "high school girl".

"Is it an enemy?" Tiger Bee Mist frowned and muttered, the ribbon in her hand itching to move.

"It shouldn't be like that..." Lin Wuming shook his head slightly.

The image of the girl in front of him—precisely because she was more like a concrete manifestation of a certain concept, without a specific physical appearance—made it easier for Lin Wuming to recognize her.

—Shokuhou, what do you think?

—Does the nameless senior mean... Kazakiri Hyouka?
The moment the name "Wind Slash Ice Flower" appeared—even if it only surfaced in her mind—the mysterious girl seemed to be summoned, and she took a step and walked towards this side of the road.

The tiger wasp frowned as it pounced on the honey, its "absolute penetration" technique poised to strike, unable to contain itself any longer.

She found the girl in front of her very strange and felt she had to be on guard.

Although there have been quite a few strange girls around Lin Wuming, the one in front of him is the only one that makes Hu Feng Toumi instinctively feel that she is a particularly unusual character, unlike anyone she has ever met before!
“Nameless…” Tiger Bee Honey spoke again, “Is this guy really…”

"Nameless!" Almost simultaneously, the girl opposite also spoke, "Finally... I've met you!"

After saying that, a bright smile appeared on the girl's beautiful face. She opened her arms and ran towards Lin Wuming with a cheer.

Judging from her posture, she was about to plunge headfirst into Lin Wuming's arms.

"No!" Misaki Shokuhou suddenly shouted.

In that instant, even Misaki Shokuhou herself wasn't quite sure whether she was trying to stop Hyouka Kazakiri from throwing herself into her arms, or to stop the Tiger Bee's honey-penetrating actions...

Feng Zhan Binghua's actions finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The string of "reason" in Hu Feng Tou Mi's mind snapped, transforming into a ribbon in her hand that shot straight out.

Lin Wuming was also unable to stop her determined attack.

The tiger wasp's attack on the honeybee is like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, striking out with lightning speed and then retracting just as quickly.

Someone unfamiliar with her wouldn't even realize she had launched an attack.

These days, my training with Shinrai Kaori has finally yielded some results.

Although she uses thrusting attacks, while Kanzaki Kaori excels at slashing attacks, Touhou Toumi's movements clearly already have some of the charm of "Yui Sen".

Feng Zhan Binghua was hit head-on, but continued running forward as if nothing had happened, eventually charging headlong into Lin Wuming. Her attack was blocked by Lin Wuming's body, and Hu Feng Toumi suppressed her killing intent—she could no longer strike Lin Wuming without hesitation as she had at the beginning.

—What's going on here?
Lin Wuming shouted in his heart.

—Ha, who knows?
Misaki Shokuhou rolled her eyes at her, her dissatisfaction clearly expressed in her expression.

Of course, you can't just smile and face this situation, can you? Another unexpected competitor has appeared, and even if you want to appeal, there's nowhere to seek justice.

In fact, if she hadn't been absolutely certain that the nameless senior couldn't have known about "Kaze-zaki Hyōka" beforehand, Misaki Shokuhou's reaction probably wouldn't have been any calmer than Touka Tomi's.

"Wait, pause for a moment, everyone calm down and don't move!" Lin Wuming shouted as he grabbed the girl's shoulders and moved her an arm's length away.

"Let's figure out the current situation first!" Lin Wuming said.

A similar scenario had already occurred today—in Lin Wuming's perception, it felt as if he was facing a massive trouble on the level of "world destruction" once again.

But it was precisely because of his previous experience that Lin Wuming was able to remain calm, or rather, he no longer had the energy to be surprised.

“We’ll talk about other things later,” Lin Wuming sighed, looking at the girl with a pure and innocent smile in front of him. “Let me introduce myself first. Who are you?”

"My name is Kazakiri Hyouka." The girl was very cooperative.

—Ah, I knew it.

Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou sighed together, no wonder she was still unharmed after being hit by the Tiger Bee's Honey Infusion Sword.

If this girl is indeed "Kazekiri Hyouka" from the original story, then she is indeed "immortal"; at least she cannot be killed by a simple stab.

Kazakiri Hyouka is an aggregate of AIM diffusion fields; she is an entity formed by the combined AIM diffusion fields of all Level 5 espers in Academy City.

Without a doubt, this Kazakiri Hyouka is not human; she can be regarded as a "ghost" unique to Academy City; or rather, a representative of the legendary "Imaginary Number District. Five Elements Organization".

But at this moment, Feng Zhan Binghua is a living, breathing girl standing right in front of them.

Lin Wuming, who was closest to her, couldn't see any difference between her and a normal human girl. Even Hu Feng Toumi, who had just tried to kill her, didn't think she was any different from other girls.

Only Misaki Shokuhou...

“My ‘mental control’ is ineffective against her.” Misaki Shokuhou looked at her with some apprehension.

Kazakiri Hyouka is not human, so it's understandable that Shokuhou Misaki's superpowers wouldn't work; you could even say that this girl... has no brains.

Fortunately, Kazan Hyōka is not an "enemy".

"What exactly are you? You were hit by the tiger bees just now, but you don't seem to be injured." Lin Wuming continued to probe, wanting to confirm whether the Feng Zhan Binghua in front of him was the one he knew from the original story.

Because the two are different, the Feng Zhan Binghua who appeared in front of him now was a bit too cheerful and lively.

It's important to know that, according to the original work, Kazakiri Hyouka is somewhat weak-willed and easily frightened, "like a trembling little animal," always acting cautiously.

It's hard to imagine that such a timid and introverted girl would take the initiative to throw herself into someone's arms, especially to a complete stranger.

"I'm fine," Feng Zhanbinghua said cheerfully. As if to prove herself, she puffed out her chest, highlighting her proud and full breasts.

There were no wounds or bloodstains, not even a tear in the uniform he was wearing.
