A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 888 Aleister's Works

"How could that be? Superpowers are superpowers, and magic is magic. The two are clearly distinct and have no direct connection! Advancing to level 6 has nothing to do with the Book of Law." Chairman Aleister immediately denied it. "What I mean is, Lin Wuming, you are now at the forefront of the path of superpowers. There are no precedents to refer to. As a pioneer, you have the right and the obligation to try all kinds of paths. You might have unexpected gains."

Yes, Aleister's attitude towards Lin Wuming has indeed changed, evolving from a "pawn" or "tool" to a relatively equal relationship, similar to that of an "ally."

He had studied Lin Wuming's "bullet time" mechanism in depth, but found nothing.

Aside from being a "miracle," existing scientific theories and superpower systems cannot explain the principle of "bullet time."

Of course, there is also a universal final explanation for this situation—the raw stone, an innate extraordinary ability.

However, Lin Wuming also exhibited the most standard characteristics of a "psychic," which made his "Original Stone Ability" less pure.

Even compared to the already unreasonable "mind-controlled cannonball" board-shaving military tyrant, Lin Wuming is naturally even more irrational.

In a sense, Lin Wuming's existence itself can be considered an "anti-superpower system".

In other words, Lin Wuming's existence possesses the potential to transcend the limitations of "prototype control"!

Although he rationally knew that Lin Wuming was a threat to him, his "researcher" side also aroused his curiosity about Lin Wuming, and he even looked forward to whether Lin Wuming could create more miracles!
It is precisely because Lin Wuming possesses the strength to threaten him that he is qualified to become an "ally".

Lin Wuming stared at the enormous test tube in front of him and fell silent.

To be honest, Lin Wuming was indeed very tempted, after all, he had been looking forward to magic from the beginning; but unfortunately, he really couldn't understand it!
In comparison, pursuing further studies in fundamental physics might be simpler...

"Of course, I'm just offering a suggestion. The decision is yours to make. Don't rush, you can take your time to consider it," Chairman Aleister added. "But more urgent than that, there's another matter that needs to be addressed immediately."

"What's the other thing...?"

“As a man, you need to be bolder when dealing with women,” Chairman Aleister said. “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, don’t hesitate, just do it first!”

"Huh?" Lin Wuming stared in disbelief.

"It's just having multiple lovers, it's nothing—besides, you don't have that many. First, establish the relationships, and then consider what comes next..." Chairman Aleister seemed to have suddenly become a different person, and became very talkative, "...I can recommend a few books to you—don't worry, compared to magic books, these books have absolutely no reading threshold, anyone can easily understand them!"

"..." Lin Wuming finally came to his senses. "As an educator, is it really appropriate for you to say these things?"

"This is also part of education, Lin Wuming."

Lin Wuming could only sigh inwardly, "Chairman Aleister is truly multi-talented..."

Just like when the Book of Law was offered last time, the floor in front of Lin Wuming suddenly cracked open, and a platform rose up, on which a stack of books was neatly arranged.

The book is exquisitely bound, with a cover made of genuine leather, but when you open it, the paper inside is just ordinary textbook paper, making it seem rather mediocre.

"All in English?" Lin Wuming frowned. "It feels almost the same as a magic book..."

The Book of Laws provided by Aleister has been translated into Japanese, but its contents are still incomprehensible. These other books, while seemingly simple, are also difficult to read due to the language barrier. However, it's only a minor inconvenience; English is no longer a challenge for Lin Wuming.

Just as Lin Wuming was engrossed in studying foreign academic papers while flipping through these books, he discovered that Aleister had provided them all as erotic novels...

"Any questions?" Aleister countered in response to the questioning. "I already mentioned that I would recommend a few books to you..."

“These…” Recalling certain rumors, Lin Wuming couldn’t help but ask, “These books are…”

“Yes, it’s one of my works,” Aleister said frankly.

"..."

President Aleister continued, “You should know that I was once a magician myself. And magicians generally have a habit of disguising their research notes with coded messages—which is why the Roman Catholic Church has coded message deciphering experts like Orsola Aquinas.”

"You mean..." Lin Wuming pointed to the book in front of him, "that your magic notebook is hidden inside?"

“Try to interpret it, Lin Wuming,” Chairman Aleister did not answer directly, “Perhaps it will help you understand the Book of Law.”

"Really?" Lin Wuming muttered, but since the matter had already been brought up, he could only accept it for now.

Seeing Lin Wuming take the novel, Aleister nodded slightly before continuing, "There's one more thing. Just a short while ago, news came from the airport that a man has arrived in Academy City..."

……

A burly, blond-haired, blue-eyed young man walked out of the terminal.

His robust physique filled out the suit perfectly, making him look like a perfect model. Tourists and passersby couldn't help but glance at him, wondering if he was a celebrity.

The man, already used to the stares that gathered around him, straightened his tie and looked around.

"Who should I contact next? Kanzaki Kaori, or those incompetent underlings?" The blond man took out his phone from his pocket, but then put it away after thinking for a moment. "Let's find a guide first."

……

Lin Wuming left in a hurry, and the windowless building returned to its usual silence.

A little while later, a new visitor arrived—a golden retriever.

Kihara Naoji had already gotten used to this place, and without any hesitation, he lit a cigar and began to puff away.

"...So, you recommended erotic novels to Lin Wuming?" After learning what had just happened here, Kihara Brainstem was taken aback. "You must be lying. There's no way your magical knowledge could be hidden in those lowbrow novels."

“No, if it’s an expert, they might be able to decipher some clues…like that Orsola Aquinas,” Aleister said. “After all, I’m the author, and the core ideas in the text won’t change.”
