A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 886 Who to see first?

Lin Wuming's personal vehicle once again carried him and Kamijou Touma back into Academy City.

Arriving first at Touma Kamijou's apartment building, the moment Touma got out of the car, he saw a "silver beast" pounce on him and bite his head hard.

As he screamed, Touma Kamijou realized his oversight—he had been running around since dawn to rescue Sister Osora, but he had forgotten about Index…or rather, he and Stiyl had tacitly chosen not to involve Index.

As a result, Index was left to roam freely without any supervision for almost the entire day.

To make matters worse, Touma Kamijou didn't prepare any meals for her that day.

Therefore, the silver-haired nun, who has transformed into a ravenous beast, is now acting under the control of her hunger instincts...

"Kamijou, I'm out of here. Good luck." Lin Wuming waved his hand and then left this place of trouble.

Looking at the two people making a ruckus behind him, Lin Wuming couldn't help but sigh—he had no right to tease them!

The time for escapism is over; it's time to face reality...

But to his surprise, when Lin Wuming returned home, he found the house to be completely dark.

The curtains were drawn and the lights were off, making it seem as if no one was there.

But Lin Wuming knew that there were people at home—

"Teacher Huang Quanchuan, you're back?" A figure could be vaguely seen on the sofa, and Huang Quanchuan Aisui's shoes were also at the entrance.

"You're back, Nameless." The figure on the sofa leaned back, his upper body hanging upside down as he looked towards the door. "Turn on the light for me."

"What's up? You're home early today." Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to press a switch, and the living room immediately became bright again. "Don't you have to go to work?"

“You are my most important task right now,” said Aiho Yomikawa. “There’s the ability level test today, and the time you caused such a ruckus outside Academy City just now… In short, a lot of people want me to have a good talk with you.”

"Okay, I was too impulsive..." Lin Wuming readily raised his hand to admit his mistake.

“That’s not what I meant,” Aiho Yomikawa shook her head. “In fact, once you’ve proven that you’re still a Level 5 and your strength hasn’t declined, no one will dare to ‘blame’ you. It’s just that these things are of great importance—you should know better than me, the Church, magicians and the like—for everyone’s sake, I hope you can give us a heads-up before taking any action.”

After thinking for a moment, Aiho Huangquanchuan nodded: "That's right. I have indeed conveyed the message. You can handle the rest yourself."

It is clear that Aiho Yomikawa is dealing with this task in a very passive manner.

Whether for public or private reasons, she didn't want to play this role of "middleman." She always felt... no, it wasn't a "feeling," but a fact—that her identity as "guardian" was being used as a rein to restrain and control Lin Wuming.

Aiho Yomikawa could understand this decision, but as an individual, she hated being "used" in this way.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Huang Quanchuan Aihui doesn't really think she can control Lin Wuming.

Despite being called a "guardian," she knows best the reality: in many cases, she, as the "guardian," is actually the one being taken care of.

Even if she wanted to adopt an adult-like demeanor and give a few words of advice, Yomi Kawa Aiho felt a little guilty.

Lin Wuming could somewhat understand Huang Quanchuan Aisui's situation; after all, working people sometimes have no choice in what they do.

"Don't worry, I'll find time to explain the situation directly to Chairman Aleister," Lin Wuming said.

“I see,” Huang Quanchuan Aihui gave another wry smile, “Then there’s no problem…” —Has her nameless friend become such an important figure without her even realizing it?
Unable to help but complain in her heart, Huang Quanchuan Aihui shook her head, then quickly cheered up.

In any case, it's always a good thing when your own child is successful.

Seeing that Huang Quanchuan Aisui's mood had improved, Lin Wuming asked, "Has the tiger bee not returned yet?"

Actually, Lin Wuming had been very concerned ever since he entered the door. After all, he had expected that the girls would wait for him at home, just like they had done before!
“Ah, Hufeng and the others…” Mentioning this topic, Yomikawa Aiho’s expression became complicated again. “Hufeng said she’s going to stay with Dr. Sakurai for a few days. As for Misaka and Shokuhou… they didn’t come to the house today.”

"Oh... I see." Lin Wuming couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

I don't know whether to feel relieved or have an even bigger headache.

"Nameless..." Huang Quanchuan Aihui hesitated, her decision to go to Hufeng Toumi really gave people the feeling of "going back to her parents' home after an argument", which made people speechless.

Today on the school playground, the girls around Lin Wuming had almost made their conflict public, not to mention Huang Quanchuan Aisui, who had watched them all the way here and knew exactly what had happened.

But what can you do even if you know?

Aiho Yomikawa herself doesn't even have a boyfriend, so of course she can't offer advice to troubled young men and women.

Moreover, the problems Lin Wuming is facing are far beyond the scope of the curriculum. Even if he has experience, he can't refer to it, right?

“In short,” Aiho Yomikawa had no choice but to say, “you should all calm down for now, think it over carefully, and then make a decision.”

In the end, the solution that Aisui Huangquanchuan could come up with was similar to that of Wuming Lin—to mainly stall.

Lin Wuming knew that he really couldn't afford to delay any longer; dragging it out would only make things worse...

"Besides, even if we don't consider this aspect, there are reasons why we can't delay!" Lin Wuming took out his phone.

Since phone calls might be rejected, Lin Wuming chose to share intelligence via email to ensure that the information was delivered effectively.

A moment later, Lin Wuming received email replies from the girls.

Lin Wuming's eyes lit up, and he immediately called back.

As a result, every call went unanswered...

"Don't call at a time like this. Going there in person would show more sincerity, wouldn't it?" Aiho Yomikawa chimed in from the side.

“Of course I know that…” Lin Wuming said, “but the question is—which way should I go first?”

Aside from Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko being in the same place, Shokuhou Misaki and Tohmi are in different places!
"..." Huang Quanchuan Aihui was silent for a moment, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

After a while, he couldn't help but add, "Nameless, I think we should make a decision sooner rather than later..."

“Okay, okay, I understand…” Lin Wuming said.

—Sure, I should go find Misaki Shokuhou first?
