A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 983 The Duel is Established!

Huh? What's going on here?

Faced with Misaki Shokuhou's relentless questioning, Lin Wuming was shocked. He never expected that Misaki Shokuhou would seize on such a flaw. What was even more frustrating was that Lin Wuming found himself unable to refute her!

What Misaki Shokuhou said... was indeed the truth! Because Misaki Shokuhou, in a sense, understood Lin Wuming better than he understood himself, she was the only one who could pinpoint such details and blind spots.

The direct result of this was that Lin Wuming found that he really couldn't refute Misaki Shokuhou's words—this girl actually came to a conclusion based on rational analysis!

"This one……"

"How cunning you are, Nameless-senpai~" With that, Misaki Shokuhou came to Lin Wuming like a true queen, cupped his face in her hands, and looked directly into his eyes with her starry eyes. "So~ Nameless-senpai's guarantee is not credible."

"Hey, Shokuhou, what are you doing!" Misaka Mikoto was both shocked and angry—didn't we agree to unite against the enemy first? Why did she suddenly take action on her own?!

"Well, I was just discussing something very important with the nameless senior." Misaki Shokuhou said calmly, as if nothing had happened, and gently released her hands.

Seeing the two separate, Misaka Mikoto calmed down a bit and withdrew all the raging electric sparks from her body.

"What did you just say? That the nameless senior's guarantee is unreliable?" Misaka Mikoto pressed further, "What do you mean by that?"

Because Misaka Mikoto often had encrypted conversations with Lin Wuming, she immediately realized that the two of them must have been secretly discussing something again.

She was fed up with feeling excluded! But with no other choice, in order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Misaka Mikoto had to ask.

"There's no special power involved, it's just what it sounds like," Misaki Shokuhou said. "When it comes to matters of love and relationships, the nameless senior's assurances are unreliable!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wuming sighed and smiled wryly, rubbing his forehead; Misaka Mikoto blushed inexplicably, as if thinking of something, and then also revealed a complicated expression.

The extra character and Kazakiri Hyouka both showed thoughtful expressions.

Although he couldn't read minds, Lin Wuming could still sense that Misaki Shokuhou was truly angry this time.

But making girls happy was definitely not Lin Wuming's forte. Besides, ordinary methods of coaxing girls were meaningless in the face of "psychological control."

If Lin Wuming's strategic skills were at the level of even being able to handle "psychological manipulation," things wouldn't have gotten to this awkward situation...

—Nameless senior, I have a question for you…

Misaki Shokuhou's voice suddenly rang in my mind again.

—Regarding this matter, what are your thoughts and decisions, senior…?

Lin Wuming's heart tightened.

—Okay, I understand…

Misaki Shokuhou smiled slightly—"Your feelings haven't changed." "Well, I don't think they could possibly change, right?"

Without giving Lin Wuming a chance to answer personally, Misaki Shokuhou saw the answer directly—as expected, she wouldn't give up on developing a harem.

Misaki Shokuhou's feelings were very complicated, but her smile grew even brighter, and her starry eyes shone even more brightly, as if they could truly emit light. "Shokuhou?" Lin Wuming called out cautiously, feeling inexplicably afraid of the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him.

“Then let’s go with the audience’s expectations.” Misaki Shokuhou maintained her smile and gracefully pulled the challenge letter from her desk. “The Daihasei Festival is decided—let’s settle this in this operation!”

With that, Misaki Shokuhou raised the remote control high and pressed it forcefully towards the window.

Without doing anything special, she simply used the amplification of the "external brain" to broadcast the message to the minds of all the teachers and students of a certain high school: Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou both agreed to the content of the challenge letter, and the two schools would compete against each other on the stage of the Daihasei Festival!

After a brief silence, cheers and applause came from outside the windows and quickly swept across the entire campus.

……

"Shokuhou! What have you done?" Misaka Mikoto could no longer tolerate it. She reached out and grabbed Shokuhou Misaki's shoulder, turning her around to face her. "Aren't you going to explain yourself?"

She and Misaki Shokuhou both knew about the challenge letter, and one of the reasons they came to the high school was to deal with this matter.

According to their original plan, they did not intend to acknowledge anything like "challenge" or "duel".

It was originally just a tactic to divert attention from the school grounds, but it unexpectedly spread outside, and someone even sent a "challenge letter" to a certain high school.

Aside from the excitement of the onlookers, this challenge offers no benefit whatsoever to Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou.

Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto had no intention or awareness of sacrificing themselves to entertain the public, so of course they had to stop this meaningless activity.

However, after arriving at a certain high school, under a series of provocations, Misaki Shokuhou decisively changed her mind, even going so far as to activate her "external brain" to broadcast a message throughout the entire school...

Leaving the students' commotion behind, Misaka Mikoto grabbed Shokuhou Misaki as soon as she stepped out of the high school gate, demanding an explanation from her.

"Things have changed, Misaka-san, what's so strange about that?" Misaki Shokuhou said calmly. "Don't you think those two are a nuisance?"

Misaka Mikoto knew she was referring to the side story individual and Kazakiri Hyouka, and immediately showed a complicated expression: "Troublesome... indeed very troublesome."

Regardless of the fact that the two of them were entangled with Lin Wuming, the existence of the extra characters themselves caused Misaka Mikoto considerable trouble.

While walking on the campus of a high school just now, Misaka Mikoto was asked more than once about her relationship with the extra characters.

After all, everyone is not blind; it's easy to spot the similarities between the two.

Before this, people just hadn't thought of it in this direction, but now that two "Misaka" characters, one big and one small, have appeared together, anyone with eyes can see the clues at a glance.

"I already have enough cousins ​​I made up out of thin air!" Misaka Mikoto retorted. "If I made a few more, I doubt anyone would believe such a lie."

That's right, in her haste, Misaka Mikoto could only say that the extra character was her distant cousin in order to get away with it...

It's also thanks to the fact that the students at a certain high school are not familiar with Gakusha no Sono and Tokiwadai Middle School, otherwise they would definitely know that Misaka Mikoto already has two distant cousins ​​at Tokiwadai Middle School.

"Don't keep adding members to my family!" Misaka Mikoto muttered to herself.
