A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 859 The Hasty Space Envoy
"Hunting tigers with bows and arrows...is that a 'school' mission?" Lin Wuming asked casually. "Is it related to Sister Osora?"

“No… uh, it was indeed a commission issued to the ‘school’,” Bow and Tiger replied in a low voice, “but it was a commission to investigate Takahira Koryo.”

Gao Ping Hongliang was suddenly startled and couldn't help but gasp: "You...you guys are also...the Dark Guard?"

“It wasn’t me. I already said I was just here to help,” Mitsuhiko Aiyu’s smile grew even brighter. “This child is a member of the Dark Side ‘School’—you should have heard of that name, right?”

Kohei Koryo's face turned pale instantly. Of course he had heard of them. They were one of only two dark organizations in Academy City with Level 5, and they were notorious and terrifying in the industry!
The thought that he had been targeted by the "school" made him feel like the sky was falling. He then looked at Lin Wuming as if he had grabbed a lifeline.

“Don’t be afraid,” Honey Ant Loves Yu said, finding it rather boring that he had backed down so quickly. “Since we’re willing to show ourselves and you’re still alive, it means you’ve passed the test—at least we won’t bother you with this matter anymore.”

He didn't bother to figure out exactly "which incident" it was. Gao Ping Hongliang's complexion returned to normal, and he felt the joy of surviving a disaster. For the moment, he didn't care about anything else.

"What exactly happened?" Lin Wuming pressed.

He knew something about the secret service's "school," so he found it rather unusual.

Honey Ant Aiyu explained, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that the nature of this case is a bit special—it involves the 'Crusader,' so we have to take it seriously. But the matter itself isn't that important, so the 'school' only sent Tiger-chan to carry out this mission. I happened to have nothing else to do, so I came along to take a look..."

She spoke very casually, but Takahira Hongliang was still immersed in the feeling of relief that she had survived the ordeal.

As an ordinary mortal, Gao Ping Hongliang knew better than anyone that because it was an "unimportant trifle," the life or death of a nobody like him was irrelevant.

In other words, just in case, it's not impossible to eliminate him as a "hidden danger".

“However, in my opinion~” Mitsuyoshi Aiyu raised her phone and took a picture of Takahira Koujiro, “this Mr. Takahira really has no intention of betraying Academy City.”

“That’s right, that’s right, Honey Ant, you’re right!” Gao Ping Hongliang nodded repeatedly—the testimony of a high-level mind-reading ability user has legal effect, and at this time he can’t care about trivial matters such as his inner privacy.

“I see, I see…” Honey Ant Lover didn’t stand on ceremony and openly displayed her abilities.

Then he looked at Sister Osora, who seemed a little lost, and said, "You think this nun is the nameless senior's confidante, so you took it upon yourself to act on her own..."

"Uh...yes." Gao Ping Hongliang was a little embarrassed after his thoughts were exposed and didn't dare to look at Lin Wuming.

After all, he guessed wrong.

On the other hand, it was also a relief—although it backfired, there was still effort involved, even if there was no merit. At least through this Honey Ant classmate's words, Lord Lin Wuming understood his good intentions.

Lin Wuming also looked surprised—so that's what happened. No wonder this guy who had no connection with him suddenly came to his door.

Osora Aquinas turned her head away, her face slightly flushed. She hadn't expected that her smooth entry would be due to this reason…

Shirai Kuroko had already guessed the truth, but now that Mitsuaki Aiyu had exposed it in public, she could only roll her eyes and scoff.

"What a pity, you chose the wrong target to curry favor with them." Mimi-chan Ai-yu laughed, then suddenly her expression changed. "But Nameless-senpai, you'd better find a place to hide your mistresses, they're coming soon!" As she spoke, Lin Wuming saw Misaki Shokuhou's personal vehicle appear at the end of the road.

Lin Wuming, of course, ignored it—what was there to hide? Besides, to properly settle Sister Osora, they really needed Misaki Shokuhou's help.

"Tsk, that's great, having no secrets is so convenient," Honey Ant Loves Yu exclaimed.

No secrets, complete honesty, also means complete trust—for those with "psychological" abilities, there is nothing more desirable than this kind of trust.

Suddenly feeling a bit bored, Mitsuhiko Aiyu put away her phone and said to Takahira Hongliang, "What are you still doing here? Although it's all a misunderstanding, you really wanted to help the nameless senior keep a mistress, right? And you even knew to keep it from Shokuhou Misaki. Now that she's here, are you just going to stay here and wait to die?"

"Huh? Oh!" Gao Ping Hongliang was startled and hurriedly ran to his car. "Lord Lin Wuming, please allow me to take my leave now. We'll meet again when we have the chance!"

"Tsk, what a pitiful man," Mi Yi Ai Yu shook her head and sighed.

Speaking of "misfortune," Lin Wuming inexplicably thought of Kamijou Touma—after settling Sister Osora down, he should contact Kamijou Touma and Tsuchimikado Motoharu. It's a matter for the Christian Church anyway, so it's good to leave it to them to handle.

Anyway, following the trend of the original plot, it would be easy to just hand the person over to the British Puritans and complete the mission in one step.

Moreover, tomorrow is the day of the ability level test, and Lin Wuming is not in the mood or have the energy to deal with such a trivial matter as Sister Osora.

Soon, Misaki Shokuhou's personal vehicle pulled up to the side of the road, and a group of girls got out of the car.

Just as Shirai Kuroko said, the girls did not fight after Lin Wuming left.

After all... the battle is not the goal, and even winning or losing is not important—if the opponent cannot be completely eliminated, the defeated party is more likely to evoke the boys' pity.

The so-called war was merely a means to demonstrate their respective will and awareness in front of Lin Wuming.

After Lin Wuming was taken away, Misaki Shokuhou and her two companions confronted the extra individual and Kazakiri Hyouka for a while before choosing to call a truce because they "felt bored".

Then, after spending a little time finding Lin Wuming's whereabouts and whereabouts, they searched for him all the way here...

"Kuroko, so... what's going on?" After getting out of the car, Misaka Mikoto immediately grabbed Shirai Kuroko and asked her what was happening.

As if startled, Shirai Kuroko immediately activated "spatial teleportation" to escape.

"Huh?" Misaka Mikoto grabbed at empty air and was momentarily taken aback—this was the first time, to her recollection, that Kuroko had gone to such lengths to escape her by activating her powers.

Could it be...

Misaka Mikoto looked up and saw Shirai Kuroko standing on the top of the unmanned truck. Their eyes met, and then Shirai Kuroko disappeared again.
