A Scientific Urban Detective

Faced with Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto, who possess extraordinary mobility, the only thing Lin Wuming could think of was to appease them as much as possible, preventing them from rushing off to investigate on their own.

As mentioned before, Lin Wuming had no intention of getting involved in the magical side of the story.

After all, to be honest, Lin Wuming originally knew nothing about the realm of "magic," and as for the most profound and difficult alchemy, he didn't have a single clue.

If the enemy this time were a flame magician like Stiyl, or even a saint like Kanzaki Kaori, Lin Wuming wouldn't be afraid to confront them head-on.

But alchemists... what Gregorian Chant Squad, what Instant Alchemy, and that Golden Great Deduction Technique.

Thinking about Aureolus's performance in the original story, what kind of tricks did he use? They were completely rule-based abilities, right?

This isn't something that can be dealt with by simply relying on one's own Nen ability to overpower the opponent.

Under the management of the alchemist Aureolus, Misawa Cram School became its own world. It's not an exaggeration to say that within that domain, he was equivalent to the "Creator God," his will was everything, omnipotent in the literal sense!

How is one supposed to deal with such an opponent?

On the way back, Lin Wuming reviewed the relevant chapters of the original story more than once, and could only come to one conclusion—besides relying on Kamijou Touma's "Imagine Breaker" and the protection of his "protagonist halo," this plot was unsolvable!

Of course, if Chairman Aleister were willing to deploy the "Kihara Family," that would be another matter.

But obviously, this is impossible at this stage.

Chairman Aleister is consciously using such events to impose "trials" on Kamijou Touma.

This is destined to mean that Chairman Aleister will not deploy other trump cards at this stage.

Coincidentally, Lin Wuming also had the same purpose—to allow the "savior" Kamijou Touma to grow up as soon as possible, so he wanted to give him plenty of opportunities to train.

"Wuming-senpai, although I'm a little unwilling to say this..." Shokuhou Misaki's voice rang directly in Lin Wuming's mind, "Don't forget, Kamijou Touma has already been sent to the hospital by you, so this time, it may really be impossible to expect things to develop as in the original story."

Because Kamijou Touma was injured evenly and comprehensively, he is still lying in the hospital ward receiving treatment.

"..." After a moment of silence, Lin Wuming responded, "It's okay, according to the original story, Kamijou-kun's recovery ability is very strong, so... there's no need to worry too much, right?"

"Wuming-senpai is truly heartless and ruthless," Shokuhou Misaki complained, "But I don't object to Wuming-senpai's suggestion. I hope Kamijou-senpai can recover as soon as possible."

Lin Wuming said, "In short, let's decide like this for now. Reporting such things is too frequent, and it's impossible for me to personally go and verify every time."

"Wuming-senpai," Shirai Kuroko said, "I have time, or I can go..."

"This is not the duty of a Judgement member," Lin Wuming directly interrupted her dangerous idea.

"Kuroko," Misaka Mikoto also shook her head at her.

"Okay, I understand," Shirai Kuroko nodded very decisively.

Lin Wuming looked at her, still a little worried: "Any action must collect information in advance. Before obtaining accurate information, you must not act rashly. In case this report is a false alarm, it would be troublesome to misunderstand people."

"Don't worry, Wuming-senpai, I won't act without permission!" Shirai Kuroko solemnly guaranteed.

Shokuhou Misaki looked at Lin Wuming.

—So, what does Wuming-senpai plan to do next?

Lin Wuming shrugged—Just do it this way. As I said just now, transfer the task to the regulatory department. Since I'm already a director, why should I do everything myself?

But... in the end, I'm afraid I still can't avoid personally going to Misawa Cram School, right?

Lin Wuming was also mentally prepared. After all, the matter had been exposed by Charyou Teahouse. According to past practice, "Lin Wuming" couldn't remain indifferent. At the very least, he had to scout around the vicinity.

...

The development of the matter was just as Lin Wuming predicted. Although he was only a "director" without real power, his personal report still attracted the attention of the regulatory department. Staff members went to Misawa Cram School for inspection that day.

The result was also as expected—no illegal or non-compliant issues were found.

After all, Misawa Cram School is a long-established professional training school. Regardless of whether there are really any problems behind the scenes, at least it can do a good job on the surface.

After receiving the reply, Lin Wuming couldn't be sure whether the alchemist Aureolus had occupied it yet.

"But I don't think that's likely," Shokuhou Misaki gave the opposite judgment.

This morning, Misaka Mikoto couldn't come to breakfast because she had something to do, and Hachiou Mitsubachi was still doing morning exercises, so they were the only two people in the living room.

Even so, because the topic to be discussed was related to the original story, Shokuhou Misaki cautiously used "encrypted dialogue."

"Assuming that the original story part hasn't changed, before the alchemist Aureolus occupies Misawa Cram School, it should have already become a strange organization of scientific religion," Shokuhou Misaki explained, "If that's the case, with the professionalism of the inspectors, they should definitely be able to discover the problem."

And the current situation is that after strict inspection, everything at Misawa Cram School is normal.

"Also, the most important thing is..." Shokuhou Misaki projected a photo into Lin Wuming's mind, "There is this girl in the student files of Misawa Cram School."

A long-haired girl wearing a shrine maiden outfit. Judging by her attire, she doesn't look like a cram school student at all, but rather a cosplayer.

"Himegami Aisa..." Lin Wuming recognized her at a glance.

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

"Yes, Himegami Aisa, who possesses the rare gemstone ability 'Vampire Killer,'" Shokuhou Misaki said, "I found this girl's file while I was having someone investigate."

"It seems... it has indeed begun..." Lin Wuming sighed with a heavy heart.

It was only when he experienced it personally that he realized how amazing the density of the original story was.

In fact, according to the original story, Himegami Aisa is the key clue character in this incident.

It's just that when Lin Wuming assessed the danger level of the incident, he used the strength of the "enemy" as the standard.

In the "Misawa Cram School Incident," Himegami Aisa is not the enemy, and her strength is not strong at all—unless she is facing a legendary vampire, otherwise she is just an ordinary high school girl.

Therefore, when Lin Wuming was thinking about this incident, he subconsciously ignored Himegami Aisa, this "vase."

It was not until now, after Shokuhou Misaki's reminder, that he realized that Himegami Aisa may indeed be a "vase," but she is indeed the key clue character in the "Misawa Cram School Incident."

At the very least, her situation can be used to judge the extent to which the internal situation of Misawa Cram School has developed.

The moment Lin Wuming saw Himegami Aisa, he completely gave up.

You must know that a major factor in Misawa Cram School's descent into becoming a "scientific religion" was that they obtained the rare gemstone ability "Vampire Killer," and then, based on theories they didn't know where they got them from, they planned to enshrine Himegami Aisa as a "divine messenger" and sacrifice, in order to hold some kind of sacrificial ceremony to allow believers to obtain powerful superpowers.

That's why this girl is dressed as a shrine maiden.

In the "shrine maiden" stage, Himegami Aisa's personal freedom is completely controlled. After all, she is a "sacrifice," so naturally she can't be allowed to escape.

On the other hand, after the alchemist Aureolus occupies Misawa Cram School, he treats Himegami Aisa as a "partner," with both sides getting what they need, and their status is relatively equal.

And in this stage, Himegami Aisa can go out and about.

"There is a lot of evidence to suggest," Shokuhou Misaki added, "This girl is active in American fast food restaurants and city parks, and doesn't look like she is being held captive."
