A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 738 Negotiations Failed
It's easy to imagine that, in Aleister's eyes, the original plot in Lin Wuming's mind, which was no different from the "Book of Prophecy," was undoubtedly a treasure.

Moreover, Chairman Aleister is capable, resourceful, and ambitious. The same information in his hands will certainly have a greater impact than in Lin Wuming's hands.

The consequence is that the future of this world will become even more unpredictable—completely beyond Lin Wuming's expectations and control.

Having lost a general grasp of the original plot, Lin Wuming's greatest advantage as a "time traveler" completely disappeared.

At that point, we'll really have to take it one step at a time and see how things unfold.

Of course, this is the most optimistic scenario; more likely, after Lin Wuming's secret as a "time traveler" is exposed, he will be immediately imprisoned and hidden away by Aleister, becoming his "plot consultant" or experimental subject; or even, to prevent this secret from being known by a third party, he will be silenced.

Therefore, before he is strong enough to withstand Aleister, Lin Wuming must protect this most crucial secret!
—Nameless senior, you...please take care.

Misaki Shokuhou looked over with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, it's just going to a tutoring class." Lin Wuming patted the girl's fluffy hair. "Nothing will happen."

“Before that,” Huang Quanchuan Aihui coughed, “let’s have a good talk, Lin Wuming.”

Lin Wuming sighed softly and followed Huang Quanchuan Aisui to the rooftop.

Only two girls remained in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, but thankfully, it wasn't particularly awkward.

Because of the Tiger Bee's unique role in honey penetration, she has become an ally of Misaki Shokuhou once again in this round.

The two join forces to fight against their most threatening opponent—Misaka Mikoto.

After quickly finishing her breakfast, Hu Feng Tou Mi asked while clearing away the dishes, "Aren't you going upstairs to 'listen in' for a bit?"

"In your eyes, is that really how much I enjoy spying and eavesdropping?" Misaki Shokuhou said helplessly.

“Right?” Tiger Bee nodded.

Misaki Shokuhou raised an eyebrow: "That's true. But after all, she's still just a human. She can't monitor everything. Only valuable information is worth collecting."

Tiger Bee looked up at the ceiling and said, "I think the conversation between Nameless and Teacher Huang Quanchuan is very valuable intelligence—for us."

"Don't worry about that." Misaki Shokuhou waved her hand dismissively. "What Yomikawa-sensei wants to ask, and how the nameless senior will answer—they already know all of that. In short, it's the same as what we already know, without any surprises or differences."

The tiger wasp stared at her intently, its gaze unwavering.

Misaki Shokuhou had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, to put it more bluntly—the nameless senior, who is currently in a period of confusion, will not make a final decision yet. So don't worry, right now... the outcome is still uncertain."

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Tiger Bee immediately looked away and continued the action she had paused earlier.

After putting the dishes in the dishwasher and wiping the table clean, Hu Feng Toumi picked up her sports bag.

"Are you going out already?" Misaki Shokuhou asked.

“Yes, go and cultivate,” Tiger Bee said. “Master’s time is limited and cannot be wasted.”

Kanzaki Kaori was only staying here temporarily, so the time she could give her guidance was very limited. Last night, because she was mentally exhausted and not in good condition, Tohmi Tohmi didn't force herself to continue training and instead rested well all night.

Now, we must make up for the lost rest time!
Moreover, Lin Wuming also had to go for "catch-up lessons" later, so they couldn't stay together anyway. He could use this time to cultivate himself.

"You're really working hard," Misaki Shokuhou exclaimed, feeling a pang of shame—had she been too lax?

"When Wuming comes back later, please tell him for me." After saying this, Hufeng Toumi pushed open the door and left cleanly.

"Just tell him about this yourself," Misaki Shokuhou murmured.

Only Misaki Shokuhou remained in the apartment. As a guest, she couldn't help but complain, "The residents of this house are so thick-skinned and have absolutely no sense of vigilance."

But then I thought, Family Side is a residential building exclusively for the security forces. Even if no one is home and the door is open, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Not to mention, because she often appears here, Misaki Shokuhou is almost regarded as a half-resident of this apartment, and asking her to help look after the house seems to have become an unconscious choice.

Not long after, Lin Wuming and Huang Quanchuan Aisui returned from the rooftop, seemingly having already discussed the matter.

But seeing the unsettled expression on Yomikawa Aiho's face, Shokuhou Misaki knew her guess was right.

—It seems the nameless senior couldn't provide a clear answer, and Teacher Huang Quanchuan seems quite troubled. But at least it's a relief for him.

As Huang Quanchuan Aisui expected, she naturally hoped to get a definite answer from Lin Wuming, so that she, as her guardian and elder, could give corresponding "guidance"... or she could prepare to comfort Hu Feng Toumi to prevent her from going to extremes again.

But Lin Wuming could only give an ambiguous answer, and didn't even feel that he was in a "relationship"! This was quite frustrating.

Huang Quanchuan Aisui herself was still single, so she couldn't offer any valuable advice under these circumstances. After confirming that Lin Wuming had no intention of playing with a girl's feelings, the life consultation naturally had to end inconclusively.

Then, Lin Wuming went out to attend "Aleister's Magic Tutoring Class" as originally planned.

Misaki Shokuhou had no reason to stay any longer, so she went out with Lin Wuming under the pretext of going the same way.

Only Aiho Yomikawa was left alone at home—it was her day off today.

However, despite the precious time for rest, and even more precious time to rest alone, she seemed absent-minded at this moment. After opening the game console interface, she just stared blankly at the screen and did not operate it for a long time.

"Ah... this can't go on!" Finally, Aiho Yomikawa threw down the controller and lay back on the sofa. "As a teacher and guardian, this really can't go on!"

Recalling her conversation with Lin Wuming on the rooftop, Huang Quanchuan Aisui couldn't help but sigh again.

—They've ignored Wuming's own feelings! As the person right in the center of the vortex, his troubles are no less than those of the girls.

The misunderstanding was bad enough, but what was worse was that Huang Quanchuan Aisui found herself unable to offer any valuable advice or truly help Lin Wuming deal with his current troubles.

Although, under normal circumstances, high school students shouldn't have such worries...
