A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 879 Reliable Objects

“It wasn’t until then that I realized Sister Osora was already under your protection, Nameless…” Kamijou Touma said bitterly, feeling somewhat speechless. “If I had known this would happen, why would I have bothered to do this?”

Did it backfire?

However, after realizing the seriousness of the situation, Touma Kamijou rushed to Lin Wuming for help.

On the one hand, having known Lin Wuming for so long, Kamijou Touma had long recognized Lin Wuming's strength and regarded him as a reliable and dependable strongman; when encountering problems that he couldn't handle, he would turn to Lin Wuming—this was never a wrong move.

On the other hand, Sister Osora had already received Lin Wuming's protection, but now, due to their actions, she has been lost... No matter what, Lin Wuming needs to be given an explanation.

"Alright, I have a general understanding of the situation." Lin Wuming could only pinch his brow and say, speechless, "I'll handle it, don't worry."

He had just decided that no matter what request Touma Kamijou made, he would help him to the end.

Although it's a matter concerning the magic side, it can't be said that it has absolutely nothing to do with me.

After all, Osora Aquinas was theoretically under Lin Wuming's protection, and failing to rescue him at this time would undoubtedly damage his reputation.

Of course, Lin Wuming didn't actually care about this kind of reputation, but now it just so happened that he could afford to care about it...

"Where are Sister Osora and that nun's army right now—you should know that, right?" After sorting out his chaotic thoughts, Lin Wuming focused his attention on the matter at hand.

"Don't worry, Stiyl and Amakusa's men are tracking them and won't let them escape easily!" Kamijou Touma said.

Then, looking over with some concern, she asked, "Nameless, do you have any strategy? To be honest, that nun unit is quite formidable. They're numerous, skilled in magic, and their teamwork is excellent..."

Stiyl and the Amakusa-style Cross Cult had already attempted a surprise attack, but were easily repelled.

That's why Touma Kamijou rushed back so urgently to get reinforcements.

Kamijou Touma knew that Lin Wuming was a Level 5 and very strong; but at the same time, he also knew that Lin Wuming's condition had not been good recently, and there were even rumors that he had dropped a level or regressed, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

“Don’t worry, just tell me where she is,” Lin Wuming patted Kamijou Touma’s shoulder. “As long as Sister Osora is alive, I will definitely rescue her.”

"It's great that you're so confident." Touma Kamijou also breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly having no doubt about Lin Wuming's words at all.

As they spoke, the vehicle they were in drove out of the gates of Academy City without any hindrance and officially arrived at the area outside the walls.

Seeing this, Touma Kamijou wasn't surprised—after all, he was an "unnamed director," so it was perfectly normal for him to have the authority to come and go freely.

But then, Touma Kamijou recalled what he had seen on the school playground not long ago, and suddenly felt concerned, or rather, curious—Lin Wuming, whom he considered to be so outstanding that he could be called "perfect," seemed to have his own troubles too!

Although such "troubles" are, in a sense, quite enviable.

For most boys, the idea of ​​being "surrounded by beautiful girls" is probably something they dream of.

"By the way, Nameless, did anything happen on the playground just now? I saw those young ladies from Tokiwadai Middle School there," Touma Kamijou asked. Nameless glanced over: "Are you... sure you want to know?"

Seeing Touma Kamijou's posture of "discussing topics between boys", Lin Wuming's feelings were also somewhat complicated.

In the original story, besides Toumi the Tiger Bee, Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, and even Shirai Kuroko, the one who would form a bond with these girls is probably Touma Kamijou right in front of us.

Of course, by now Lin Wuming has long since learned to treat the "original work" simply as a reference and doesn't take it too seriously.

Lin Wuming couldn't help but sigh, realizing that in the original story, Touma Kamijou never seemed to encounter a predicament like his, and he was surrounded by even more women...

However, to be fair, Lin Wuming could understand—he was busy saving the world and didn't have the time or energy to deal with "romance" issues; although there were many female characters around him, their feelings for each other hadn't even "budded" yet, so there was no question of any further troubles.

But then again, I haven't been idle since I transmigrated, have I? How did I end up like this?

Lin Wuming silently complained to himself.

Feeling a chill run down his spine under Lin Wuming's inexplicably serious gaze, Kamijou Touma quickly waved his hand: "Ah, I was just asking casually, you don't have to take it too seriously... no, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

Thinking about it carefully, Touma Kamijou isn't entirely unreasonable.

The group surrounding Lin Wuming consisted of exceptionally beautiful girls, which was enviable, but the problem lay precisely in their "extraordinary" appearance.

Two Level 5s are Tokiwadai Middle School's ace; although Touya is "only" Level 4, Touma Kamijou is aware of her reputation. In terms of actual combat record and ferocity, Touya is the one that people fear the most.

The Crystal Palace storyline is certainly interesting, but what if the subjects are such powerful and assertive beautiful girls...?

—Just thinking about it is troublesome. It's better to let someone as capable as Lin Wuming deal with this kind of headache!

……

Not far from Academy City, there is an unfinished church called Osora.

This was a property under the Roman Catholic Church, and it was perfectly suited to serve as a temporary base for Sister Agnes's troops.

Led by Agnes Santis, the battle nuns are taking turns punishing the apostate Orsola Aquinas.

Specifically, it involved surrounding someone and punching and kicking them, subjecting them to corporal punishment—a far cry from the usual image of a "religious trial," and more like a group of female high school students engaging in school bullying...

However, it cannot be denied that these young nuns were indeed ruthless and merciless—with the spirit of beating Osora to death if they could not kill him, they quickly brought him to the brink of death.

At the same time, they did not forget to use words of ridicule, curses, and belittle.

It was because of this that Sister Osora finally learned the whole truth from the "enemy" and realized how many opportunities to be saved she had given up because of her arrogance and prejudice.

—If only I could trust others a little more and believe that there are truly selfless people in this world who would lend a helping hand... then I wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation, right?
