A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 946 The Importance of Maintaining Distance

"Assassinate...Nameless?" Upon hearing this name, Tiger Bee Honey raised an eyebrow, a dangerous look on his face. "Are you sure?"

As she spoke, Tiger Bee looked up at the corner where the Black Night Seabird had appeared earlier—if she wasn't mistaken, there should have been other people there before the battle started, right?

It refers to prisoners who coerce and stalk seabirds at night.

—If we try to catch up now, I don't know if it will be too late…

“Of course I can confirm it!” Black Night Seabird said, but noticing the sinister atmosphere emanating from the girl in front of her, she thought for a moment and added, “But I can’t read minds, so if those guys are lying to me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Tiger Bee squinted at the girl in front of him, then looked at the corner not far away.

—We can't catch up. Unless the enemy is incredibly stupid, they've probably already escaped, right?

In that case, all we can do now is gather as much intelligence as possible.

So the tiger wasp turned its attention back to the seabirds of the night.

The latter shuddered immediately: "Tiger... Tiger Bee Senior?"

“I’m going to tell Nameless what’s going on here,” Tiger Bee Honey said. “Before that, I’ll give you five minutes to explain everything you know.”

Forced by circumstances, the Black Seabird had no power to resist and could only honestly confess the situation.

However, she didn't actually know much information.

Because the attack was carried out using an electronic virus, the seabird remained completely unaware until the virus was activated.

His left arm was completely out of control, and even most of his body fell into a strange state of stiffness and numbness—only then did the enemy leisurely make his appearance.

The Black Seabird did consider resisting, but unfortunately, it had no control over its body. Even when it wanted to activate the "Nitrogen Blast Gun," it sadly discovered that its left hand was completely controlled by the enemy.

This means that at least half of the firepower of his "nitrogen explosive gun" is under the control of the enemy!

Left with no other choice, she had to temporarily compromise and agree to work for the enemy.

Subsequently, through subtle probing, the Black Night Seabird discovered the enemy's objective—to assassinate Lin Wuming.

To be precise, it was "assassination of members of the Council"—all council members were their targets, except for Chairman Aleister, who was the most difficult target.

Among all these potential targets, Lin Wuming was the first one to be targeted.

It wasn't that these members of the "Anti-Academy City Alliance" were unaware of Level 5's power, which ultimately led them to underestimate Lin Wuming.

After a simple assessment, it was determined that Lin Wuming was the easiest target to capture.

Compared to other council members, at least Lin Wuming's whereabouts are publicly known and traceable, making it relatively easy to find him.

Moreover, Lin Wuming is not an official overseeing director, so he doesn't have such tight security measures around him, making it easier to get close to him.

On the other hand, Lin Wuming's reputation and influence far exceeded those of the official council members. In fact, in the minds of most citizens, when they mentioned the council, the first person they thought of was Chairman Aleister, and the second person they thought of was "Council Member Wuming".

In conclusion, it's not entirely unreasonable for the enemy to choose Lin Wuming as their first assassination target.

The only problem is that, as opponents of Academy City, while they are aware of the existence of superpower levels, they lack an intuitive understanding of the different levels. In other words, they only know that Level 5 is very strong, but they don't know exactly what kind of monsters Level 5s are.

Of course, the seabirds of the night did not correct their misconception after realizing this.

In order to save itself, the Black Seabird volunteered to personally assassinate Lin Wuming...

The Black Seabird believed that even if it attacked first, Lin Wuming would not kill it without asking any questions.

At that time—as long as Lin Wuming notices his predicament, he will surely be saved.

So when the Night Seabird discovered that the Tiger Bee was acting alone and not staying with Lin Wuming as always, she felt like the sky was about to fall!

You should know that Hu Feng Tou Mi is a woman who is no less crazy than herself... no, she should be said to be even crazier than herself!
Ask her for help or something...

Even so, with the arrow already on the bowstring, the Black Night Seabird ultimately gritted its teeth and launched an attack on the Tiger Bee's Honeybee.

“Actually, I did send you a signal during the battle just now,” Black Night Seabird explained, “right when I launched my attack.”

“I know,” Tiger Bee said calmly. “You’re sending me Morse code using your attack frequency to transmit signals.”

This time, it was the seabird of the night who was dumbfounded: "So you found out all along? I thought I'd been doing nothing all this time!"

"Of course, how could we not have noticed such an obvious signal?" Tiger Bee Honey said with a matter-of-fact expression.

During the battle, Tiger Bee quickly realized that the Night Seabird did not harbor any clear hostility towards him.

—The Black Seabird's attack accuracy is just too low!

While tiger wasps can evade enemy attacks by scavenging through honey, in reality, it's even easier than expected.

It's as if... the enemy is cooperating with us in an exhibition match.

Therefore, the tiger bee, sensing the honey, knew that the seabird was releasing water at night.

Because their attack characteristics are very similar, and they also have many similarities in personality and temperament, they can understand each other in some subtle ways.

For example, the Black Seagull uses attack frequency to send Morse code...

In fact, even the Black Night Seabird didn't expect the other side to really understand her thinking. It was just a method she came up with in a moment of panic and desperation.

To everyone's surprise, the tiger wasp actually understood the honeycomb passage perfectly...

"Then why aren't you responding to me?" Having confirmed this, the Black Night Seabird became even angrier. "Your interpretation is correct, so why is your attack even more ferocious and aggressive?!"

“It’s annoying because you keep calling me ‘Nameless,’ ‘Nameless,’” said the tiger bee, “even though it has nothing to do with Nameless…”

The seabird of the night could no longer hold back: "Don't you understand? I was deliberately keeping my distance! Only by keeping a distance like that between me and Brother Lin can both of us benefit! See, someone has already targeted this weakness, hasn't they?"

Black Night Seabird snorted coldly: "I'm fine here. After all, it's no secret that my relationship with Kobayashi-nii isn't good, so the enemy won't think of using me to threaten Kobayashi-nii. I'm just an innocent bystander this time. The real trouble is the other survivors of Black May, and that guy Kinuhata Saiai!"
