A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 927 The Lonely Nameless

“While maintaining distance to stay calm, I feel we still need to keep our presence felt,” Misaki Shokuhou continued. “While I don’t expect it to be every moment, I think it’s not good for Mumei-senpai to be completely alone; he needs someone to be with him all the time.”

Especially starting next week, the two women, Fanfan Yizi and Fengzhan Binghua, will be transferring schools and becoming classmates with the nameless senior!

The internal competition among the tea party members is one thing, but we must not allow others to take advantage of the situation!

Last night, I sent Shirai Kuroko to meet Lin Wuming in a windowless building, and that was actually part of the purpose behind it.

“First, we need to build a strong fence. If we add a few more troublemakers like the side story characters and Kazakiri Hyouka… you’ll have a headache too, right?” Misaki Shokuhou said.

Even Shirai Kuroko nodded in agreement this time.

“Then it’s decided,” Misaki Shokuhou nodded. “While maintaining our distance, we must also ensure our existence. During this time, we will focus on training and improving our strength… Finally, we will make the nameless senior our target, conquer him, and subdue him!”

"Huh? What's with this last one?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise.

“It means exactly what it says.” Misaki Shokuhou shrugged. “I’ve said it before, haven’t I? Waiting for a response from the nameless senior is very difficult. If we don’t take the initiative, we might really have to wait until two years later, when we graduate and become high school students, to talk about it.”

"Two years later? High school students?" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be that the reason why the nameless senior never reciprocated the feelings of the upperclassmen is because of his age? Does he think you guys are too young?"

“Kuroko,” Misaka Mikoto said, “you’re a year younger than us.”

"Well, more or less," Misaki Shokuhou said. "The nameless senior... wouldn't lay a hand on girls younger than high school students."

Or to be more precise, girls under the age of eighteen are not even considered. However, Lin Wuming himself is only sixteen years old, so he lowered the standard to high school students.

Misaki Shokuhou knew very well that Lin Wuming had long been aware of the feelings he had for the girls—after all, their advances were quite direct and intense, and even the most oblivious person would find it hard to remain unmoved.

However, Lin Wuming was not an ordinary teenager after all; he was mentally older, so he had his own principles and bottom lines in some strange ways.

Similarly, in other aspects, they possess the greed and ambition unique to adults.

Misaki Shokuhou is the only person who truly understands Lin Wuming, and is currently the only one who knows about his Crystal Palace ambitions.

—Choose both? We're not going to let you get away with it so easily!
Seeing Misaki Shokuhou suddenly let out a cold laugh and exude the aura of a villainous queen, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but mutter, "Her smile is so sinister; she's definitely plotting some kind of scheme again."

“That’s right, she’s scheming,” Misaki Shokuhou admitted with a smile. “After all, she’s a strategist.”

"So what are your plans now?"

“There’s no plan yet.” Misaki Shokuhou shook her head. “I’m just wondering—what is the nameless senior doing right now; does he feel lonely suddenly being all alone?”

……

Lin Wuming was indeed a little unaccustomed to it. Throughout the morning, apart from the doctors and nurses who made routine rounds, only Huang Quanchuan Aihui came to visit him before going to school.

Besides that, he was actually alone in the hospital room, enjoying his long-awaited time alone.

Lin Wuming didn't dislike this feeling, but as mentioned earlier, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to it. After all, in the years since his transmigration, Lin Wuming had indeed become used to having people around him all the time.

"Tsk, it seems my little scheme was discovered by Misaki Shokuhou after all." Lin Wuming couldn't help but smile wryly. The "cold treatment" he was experiencing now was probably Misaki Shokuhou's "punishment."

"How can we persuade Shokuhou?" Lin Wuming lay on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling. "No, not only Shokuhou, but Mikoto and the Tiger Bee wouldn't agree either, would they?"

After much hesitation, I never expected to end up choosing the most difficult path!

Lin Wuming couldn't help but criticize himself in his heart.

However, he quickly rallied. Since he had already made the decision, he had to keep going no matter how difficult or troublesome it was!

Before that, there are some more urgent matters that need to be dealt with first.

For example, the crisis of the outbreak of World War III; for example, the promise I made to Shirai Kuroko this afternoon to go to the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee to boost morale.

For example, there's the issue of magical backlash on oneself...

"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present," Lin Wuming exclaimed in astonishment.

This situation presents both long-term and immediate concerns, which is truly a headache.

"Nameless, what do you have to worry about!" Touma Kamijou burst through the door. "Do you know how many people envy and are jealous of you because of what happened on the playground yesterday?"

The boy with the spiky hair started yelling as soon as he came in, showing no intention of visiting the injured.

On the contrary, Index, who came with Touma Kamijou, was unusually silent, following behind him with her head down and not saying a word.

For a moment, it gave people the illusion that the two had switched personalities.

“Touma Kamijou…” Lin Wuming looked over, “I remember today was a normal day of classes, why are you…”

“It’s lunch and rest time now,” Touma Kamijou said. “I heard you took leave to be hospitalized, so I took advantage of my break to come and visit you.”

As he spoke, Touma Kamijou handed over the sweets he had specially bought as a gift for visiting someone in the hospital.

As expected, it was a strawberry cake.

Lin Wuming was too lazy to complain about it anymore. Anyway, it wasn't that he didn't like strawberry cake, and since Hu Feng wasn't around recently, he finally had a chance to eat the strawberries on top of the cake.

Seeing that Lin Wuming accepted the gift, Kamijou Touma finally got down to business.

"Tsuchimikado took the day off today too," Touma Kamijou said. "And you're also on sick leave and hospitalized. There are also rumors that a fierce battle broke out outside the southeast gate last night..."

Touma Kamijou scratched his head and asked, "So what I want to ask is—what exactly happened after I got home yesterday?"

"A battle did indeed break out. The enemy was the Rear Water, one of the Right Seats of God. He wields the power of angels and is also a saint himself, possessing even the constitution of a saint, which grants him immunity to various negative effects. His recovery speed from injuries is also astonishing," Lin Wuming said without hiding anything.

Hearing Lin Wuming's description, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of monster is this?! It's practically cheating!"
