A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 875 Don’t run away!

Lin Wuming mentally complained—of course, this was just his random thoughts as he tried to escape reality.

Lin Wuming was well aware of his current situation. The feelings between Shokuhou, Tobi, and Misaka were genuine and had become a tangled mess.

Now, there's another one: Shirai Kuroko. Although Lin Wuming himself hasn't realized it yet, according to Shokuhou Misaki, this girl's feelings have already developed to the point of being "irreversible"!
Faced with the gazes of the girls gathering around him, Lin Wuming felt the feeling of having nowhere to turn growing stronger.

"What happened? The atmosphere seems really serious." A voice from the side story suddenly came from the side.

This grown-up version of Misaka, wearing a high school uniform, walked towards this side with Kazakiri Hyouka.

The extra character was clearly not completely ignorant; you could tell from the undisguised expression on her face that she had deliberately appeared at this moment to stir up trouble.

"You're here too..." Misaka Mikoto sighed heavily, "Isn't this place chaotic enough already?"

The extra individual snorted coldly: "If we don't show up soon, we'll probably be forgotten, right? We confessed to each other face to face and asserted our dominance. Shokuhou, you're too cunning. You're not planning to give us a chance at all."

Despite being "competitors," Misaki Shokuhou's attitude towards Shirai Kuroko is completely different from her attitude towards the two of them, which naturally makes the extra individual feel dissatisfied, so they decisively intervene.

Feng Zhan Binghua had an expression similar to that of Hu Feng Tou Mi, seemingly uninterested in these messy matters.

Just like showing off her uniform, Kazakiri Hyouka opened her arms wide: "It's okay. No matter what, the physical distance between us and Mumei will not change; the fact that Mumei and I are the same kind will not change either."

"You're really persistent," the extra character said.

“That’s just how it is.” Kazakiri Hyouka pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a sharp white light. “The atmosphere is tense.”

The atmosphere was naturally tense. The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, sang in unison and brazenly barged into the group, pushing the already tense atmosphere to a new climax.

"As expected, it was a mistake not to settle things properly yesterday," Misaki Shokuhou muttered to herself.

Of everyone present, Misaki Shokuhou was the weakest in terms of direct combat power, but upon hearing her soft voice, everyone else felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were under some kind of great threat, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

Misaka Mikoto and Tohmi Tomi have entered a state of combat readiness, while Shirai Kuroko is also silently calculating and preparing for "spatial teleportation".

Feeling like they'd stirred up a hornet's nest, Fan Jiezi and Feng Zhan Binghua finally stopped in their tracks.

Judging solely by their ability levels, the two of them should be the lowest among those present; yet they still showed no sign of awe.

"I am an AIM diffusion field aggregate, I'm not afraid of Level 5." Kazakiri Hyouka turned to her ally, "And what about you?"

The extra character laughed heartily: "I am the embodiment of malice, I come representing the desires of all the sisters, how could I possibly lose?"

“You guys…” Lin Wuming realized that the situation was rapidly spiraling into the worst possible scenario.

“Nameless senior, I don’t care about anything else anymore,” Misaki Shokuhou said, raising the remote control as if drawing a sword. “So all the pressure is now on you.”

—This battle is inevitable; let's figure out how to handle the aftermath!

"Damn it!" On the distant teaching building, Yun Chuanqin observed the situation on the playground through binoculars. Although she couldn't hear any sounds, she understood lip reading, so she could roughly piece together what was happening.

"Do you really have to start a war here?" Yun Chuanqin complained through gritted teeth. "Can that guy Lin Wuming even handle them?" She had completely forgotten that she herself was also fanning the flames and watching the show.

"This is bad, this is bad," Kumokawa Sera observed nervously. "I thought that Misaki Shokuhou would be more rational, but I didn't expect her to be the one to flip the table first... Is she still an immature little girl after all?"

But then again, once Level 5's "Mental Control" goes berserk, its destructive power will indeed exceed one's expectations!
Lin Wuming broke out in a cold sweat. He knew the situation was critical. Because of Misaki Shokuhou's rampage, the other girls had also been dragged into the imminent battle, disregarding everything else.

—I must do something to defuse this crisis!

But Lin Wuming also knew that there was nothing he could do at this moment.

The timing was wrong, and it was too late!
At this moment, Lin Wuming was like sitting on a powder keg; the slightest deviation would trigger a massive explosion!
Lin Wuming knew he had to make a choice, but in this situation, he couldn't make a "choice".

The consequences of repeatedly escaping reality finally became apparent, and Lin Wuming finally drove himself into a corner with no way out—escaping was shameful, and it was useless...

In fact, Lin Wuming's intense focus on this ability level test, and his unusually high level of attention to it, was largely a form of "escapism."

He wanted to postpone this troublesome problem as long as possible in order to gain a breather and a chance to think things through.

There might be an element of sophistry in saying this, but Lin Wuming was indeed quite oblivious to the feelings of the girls around him—after all, he never considered these young girls as potential romantic partners from the very beginning…

By the time they realized their feelings, the girls had already launched their full-scale attack.

By this time, it was too late; Lin Wuming had lost the option to make a "choice".

The silence and the obviously unusual atmosphere finally caught the attention of the many onlookers behind them.

Or rather, they had been paying attention to Lin Wuming's situation from the beginning, and they could all see to some extent that Lin Wuming seemed to be caught in some kind of chaotic situation.

However, since the parties involved were all high-level ability users at level 5 and level 4, no one dared to go and disturb them for the time being.

But now, the situation has clearly escalated further.

This is the venue for competency level testing, surrounded by all sorts of testing instruments.

Starting from a certain moment ago, almost all the instruments showed obvious abnormal data fluctuations.

Considering the atmosphere among the group of girls over there, it's not hard to imagine that a superpower battle could break out at any moment!
Feng Zhanbinghua's figure flickered—the rejection fluctuations of the AIM diffusion field in this area affected her.

Her sudden flash was like igniting a fuse, causing the AIM diffusion fields of the other girls to erupt instantly, so intensely that they directly interfered with reality.

Space was thus distorted, and Shirai Kuroko's expression turned solemn. She had no choice but to temporarily change the parameters and correct the coordinates of the "spatial movement".

Lin Wuming's mind went blank—or rather, his thoughts were too numerous to make any effective decisions.

Then his body started acting on its own...

He raised the Deringer pocket pistol, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.
