A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 884 Subsequent Impact

Boom!

A dull, loud bang was accompanied by a tremor.

Agnes slowly turned her head and looked behind her expressionlessly.

The wall behind them collapsed, revealing a large hole, and the cause of this was the lotus staff that had been thrown back...

Bang...

Sister Agnes loosened her grip, and the lotus staff, now only half bare, fell to the ground.

Whether from fear or despair, tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, and the girl wept silently…

“…Nameless,” noticing the change in the battlefield situation, Touma Kamijou stopped fleeing with Sister Osora and turned back. Seeing the scene before him, he exclaimed, “We’re here to rescue people, don’t act like we’re the big bad devils…”

Just then, another commotion arose outside the church. As the doors were forced open, the Amakusa-style cross church members arrived late...

Actually, you can't blame them. It's just that the battle here ended too quickly. Less than five minutes had passed since Lin Wuming and Kamijou Touma entered the church.

It's quite fast that the Amakusa group was able to travel ten kilometers to get here in such a short time.

Seeing the scene inside the church, and the battle nuns who had completely lost their fighting spirit and were now completely subdued and at their mercy, the Amakusa-style members exchanged bewildered glances, their surprise tinged with doubt. Having fought them directly before, the Amakusa-style members knew exactly how formidable this group of battle nuns was, but now…

However, the acting pope, Jian Gongzhai, reacted quickly, immediately arranging for everyone to take over the site and handle the aftermath.

Its main purpose was to treat the fallen fighting nuns.

However, to the relief of everyone on both sides, none of the nuns involved in the battle died, and none of their injuries were serious. Some of the nuns who were the first to be defeated even regained consciousness on their own.

Aside from a dull ache in the area hit by the psychic force, there were no other reactions or side effects.

Even many of the Amakusa-style members had more serious injuries than them.

The three English Puritans finally entered the church.

After arriving at Jian Gongzhai's side and learning what had just happened, Stiyl asked in a low voice, "Can you do that, to this extent?"

After a moment of silence, carrying the flame-shaped sword, Jian Gongzhai asked in return, "Can you do it?"

They looked at each other, neither of them answering, but they both knew the answer to each other.

--cannot!
If they went all out and focused solely on "defeating Sister Agnes's army," both of them would have the ability to take on the opponent one-on-one and wipe them out.

As long as the cost is not considered.

The price was personal injury and, inevitably, the need to kill some members of the nun's unit.

It's very difficult to achieve something like Lin Wuming, who not only emerged unscathed but also suffered no casualties on the enemy's side!
No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say "impossible to do".

Just then, they heard Tsuchimikado Motoharu's voice behind them: "Kanzaki-neechan, can you do that?"

“Okay.” Kanzaki Kaori nodded without hesitation.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu wasn't surprised by the answer; he had simply overheard the conversation between the two people ahead and asked Kanzaki Kaori as well. "Of course, after all, she can easily defeat even those knights..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu said softly.

The so-called "sage" is a powerful being with such extraordinary strength!
Looking at the scene of "corpses lying everywhere" in the church, Tsuchimikado Motoharu couldn't help but wonder - what would have happened if Lin Wuming had encountered those knights?

Immediately, Tsuchimikado Motoharu realized that when he subconsciously made such an assumption and comparison, he had actually accepted the fact that "Lin Wuming possesses strength comparable to a saint".

"That's why it's even more troublesome..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu muttered to himself, "Why did he have to meddle in other people's business..."

Regardless of the feelings expressed by those on the magic side, Touma Kamijou was satisfied with how the situation was developing.

After all, Sister Osora had been rescued, the enemy had been defeated, and no one had died, so it was a pretty perfect outcome.

Touma Kamijou handed Sister Osora over to the Amakusa-style members to help treat her injuries—the Amakusa-style possessed a variety of healing magic, which was indeed much more efficient than the scientific side's treatment methods in this situation.

Then, to avoid his "Imagine Breaker" interfering with the healing magic, Touma Kamijou turned and walked towards Lin Wuming.

At that moment, they saw Tsuchimikado Motoharu pulling Lin Wuming aside and whispering something to him.

"What's wrong?" Touma Kamijou asked without thinking.

"We're discussing how to clean up the mess..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu said irritably, "It's amazing you managed to find Lin Wuming as an accomplice!"

"Who else can I turn to?" Touma Kamijou retorted. "In this situation, I know the only reinforcements I can find are Nameless, right?"

"That's why it's so troublesome..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu complained, then, without trying to hide it, deliberately spoke in a voice that others around could hear, "The most troublesome thing is—the enemy is still alive. Have you thought about what will happen next?"

"What...what happened? And what do you mean by that? Isn't it a good thing that no one died?" Touma Kamijou wasn't the clueless bystander he used to be. Seeing Tsuchimikado Motoharu's expression, he had some guesses, but he still asked unwillingly, "It shouldn't cause a conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and Academy City, right?"

“Isn’t it clear to you?” Tsuchimikado Motoharu said.

"It really will turn out like that?" Touma Kamijou exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s one thing that Touma is slow to realize things,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu then looked at Lin Wuming, “Wuming, why are you cooperating so much… You should have known what the consequences would be, right?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to think about that at the time.” Lin Wuming waved his hand. “Besides, what Shang Tiao said makes sense. Sister Osora did seek my protection, and I agreed. So, I have a responsibility to rescue her when she was kidnapped.”

"You..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu couldn't help but complain, "Stop making excuses. Do you really think I don't know what's going on with you? You're just trying to use this opportunity to get rid of trouble, aren't you?"

As a multi-faceted spy, Tsuchimikado Motoharu is also an intelligence expert. Whether it's a professional habit or an instinct, he is always collecting all kinds of valuable intelligence.

People like Lin Wuming, who are close by and important, are key targets for intelligence gathering.

Therefore, Tsuchimikado Motoharu understood the complex emotional entanglements between Lin Wuming and the beautiful girls around him even better than Lin Wuming himself.

After all, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, on the surface, is a seasoned anime and manga otaku, and he's certainly had his share of dating sims and other similar games; even if he hasn't done it himself, he's seen it all.

Unlike those directly involved who are often blinded by their own perceptions, Tsuchimikado Motoharu had long anticipated the signs of a chaotic scene unfolding around Lin Wuming.

"Since you're the all-knowing Tsuchimikado, just tell me directly what information you've gathered and what will happen next?" Lin Wuming understood his implication and asked directly.
