A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 945 The Real Assassin

Realizing that the tiger bee was getting serious, the night seabird let out a strange cry and resumed her eerie posture, dodging and creating distance.

But this time, she failed.

Her newly fitted left arm was shattered by a single sword thrust from Tiger Bee Honeybee!
There was no time to feel sorry for them; in the midst of the chaos, the seabird in the dark could only feel a wave of fear.

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough and used her prosthetic left arm as a shield to block the attack, she would probably be the one who got pierced right now!
—Speaking of which, this prosthetic left arm has weapon-grade strength and durability, but unexpectedly it was damaged on the very first day.

The seabird thought to itself, "But this suits me just fine."

At the same time, a new offensive has begun.

Tiger Bee Honey doesn't have the habit of speaking during battle; she prefers to use her "stinger" to convey her feelings to the enemy.

dead!
Exhausted of patience and angered by the topic of Lin Wuming, Hu Feng Toumi put aside all distractions and focused solely on "killing the enemy."

—Oh no, I've gone too far! This woman is practically a diode; once it breaks down, she becomes this extreme?

The Black Seabird certainly didn't want to die; on the contrary, she didn't want to die at all, which is why she tried to find Lin Wuming...

Unfortunately, the black ribbon was already upon them.

Black Night Seabird tried everything, including adjusting her superpowers, to imitate Kinuhata Saiai and attempt to build her own "nitrogen armor".

But all these efforts were in vain. As it turns out, even the "nitrogen armor" which is touted as the "strongest defense below level 5" cannot stop the absolute penetration of the Tiger Bee Honey!
Her only usable shield was her prosthetic left arm, but that had already been destroyed in the previous attack...

—Damn it, I'm definitely going to die this time…

The seabird in the night felt a sense of absurdity; what if it were to die because of such a thing…

"Help..." The black seabird decided to call for help, pleading with someone who wasn't even there, "Brother Xiaolin, save me!"

puff!
A jet-black ribbon pierced the chest of the night-blooming seabird.

The girl was like a bird struck by a arrow, losing all her strength and collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The tiger bee peered at the other, then casually tossed the ribbon aside.

Then, she took out a new roll of ribbon from her pocket and put on her new clothes.

Standing beside the "corpse" of the seabird in the night, the tiger bee looked around and carefully observed every plant and tree.

After a long time, there was still no movement.

So the tiger bee, Toumi, abandoned its vigilance and went to the black seabird, nudging her face with its toe.

"You can wake up now. There are no suspicious individuals around."

"How did you know I was still alive?" The Black Seabird opened its eyes and, ignoring the pain in its chest, spoke calmly.

"Heh, of course I know." Tiger Bee Honey sneered. "How could I not know the result of my own actions?"

Just now, at the critical moment, the seabird's distress call did indeed come in handy.

Lin Wuming wasn't here, so of course he couldn't come to save her—a fact that the Black Night Seabird was well aware of.

Therefore, her plea for help wasn't truly to obtain Lin Wuming's assistance, but simply something she wanted to tell Hufeng Toumi. Heiye Hainiao knew that once Hufeng Toumi got carried away, this madwoman could be utterly ruthless, even to the point of being "unrecognizable to family." Admitting defeat or begging for mercy meant nothing to her; once she set her sights on a target, Hufeng Toumi would ruthlessly eliminate it without hesitation!
Therefore, in this desperate situation, the Black Seabird chose to ask Lin Wuming for help.

The only man Hu Feng Toumi cares about is him; only he can persuade or even control this crazy woman, Hu Feng Toumi, and bring her back to her senses.

Sure enough, upon hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar address "Brother Xiaolin," Hufeng Toumi immediately knew that it was Lin Wuming being addressed—and that this was a term only survivors of the "Dark May" plan would use.

The seabirds in the dark used this method to remind the tiger bee that Toumi was Lin Wuming's former companion.

Out of respect for Lin Wuming, Hu Feng Tou Mi adjusted the ribbon's trajectory at the last moment, ultimately avoiding the heart.

In the end, the seabird survived.

“I haven’t found anyone else,” Tiger Bee said. “Where is your so-called enemy?”

"It's not here?" The Black Seabird got up from the ground and looked around as well. "Damn it! Looks like it saw things were going badly and ran away!"

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Hu Feng Tou Mi asked, pointing to the ribbon still hanging on her chest.

“Not for now.” Black Night Seabird waved her hand, then used a mini version of the “nitrogen blast gun” to cut the ribbon, leaving only a ribbon less than ten centimeters long hanging in front of her chest, swaying and fluttering with her movements.

Looking at her relaxed and composed expression, no one would guess that there was a "sharp blade" stuck near her heart.

"I'll go to the hospital to deal with this when this incident is over," Black Seabird said, fiddling with the ribbon on her chest.

—I was almost stabbed to death by such a soft and harmless ribbon…

The seabird sighed in the darkness.

"Now can you explain what exactly happened?" Tiger Bee asked.

“Okay.” The seabird of the night no longer hid anything, “I was coerced.”

The problem lies in the new prosthetic left arm that the Black Night Seabird recently replaced.

The prosthetic body itself is not problematic; in fact, it can be described as a laboratory product created with the latest technology. The prosthetic body is equipped with an artificial intelligence-assisted system, which, when connected to a similarly modified electronic nervous system, allows the Black Night Seabird to perform the same bizarre yet efficient evasive maneuvers it used in combat.

But the problem also lies with this latest technology.

“A virus was implanted in the chip,” the Black Seabird said. “Then a group of unidentified people used it to coerce me into doing things for them.”

Fortunately, the Black Seabird's prosthetic body was not highly developed, so the computer virus had limited influence on her—at least it couldn't directly manipulate her body.

Therefore, the prisoners could only use this as leverage to force the seabirds of the night to do things for them.

“Initially, the culprit’s goal was to get me to deal with Kinuhata Saiai,” Kuroya Utori said. “Our abilities are similar, and our strengths are close, so I can hold her off for a long time, or defeat her directly—if necessary.”

"However, it seems they've managed to get rid of Kinuhata Saiai through other means," Kuroya Umiguchi shrugged. "So suddenly they don't need me anymore."

"So the enemy sent you to attack me?" Tiger Bee asked.

“No, their target is Kobayashi-nii,” Black Night Seabird said. “I have a rough idea of ​​who they are—the lunatics of the ‘Anti-Academy City Alliance.’ Their mission is to assassinate the ‘Nameless Director’!”
