A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 583 Meaningless contact?
"I know you have no ill intentions." Lin Wuming nodded, somewhat puzzled by Shen Lie Huo Zhi's reaction. "So what do you want from me?"

"Some matters within our organization are confidential, so I'm sorry that I can't know the whole truth from you. Please forgive me." Kamiya Kaoru bowed again and apologized very seriously.

"Forget it, let me do the talking." Stiyl seemed to have completed his magical protection and took over the conversation again. "Mr. Lin Wuming, I won't beat around the bush. After all, this is no secret to your Unified Council. We are magicians, affiliated with the Zeroth Parish of the English Puritan Church, the Church of Necessary Evil. You can think of us as a special force of the English Puritan Church, a special force composed of magicians."

"Okay, magician." Lin Wuming nodded with a calm expression, as if he completely accepted the other party's self-introduction without any surprise.

But in Steele's opinion, Lin Wuming didn't understand what he said at all.

Intelligence shows that Lin Wuming has never dealt with a real magician before, so he probably doesn't understand the concept of a "real magician".

This is not surprising, as a considerable number of directors in the Governing Council are in this situation - they know about the existence of magic and magicians at the level of "knowledge" and "intelligence", but have never actually come into contact with magicians.

Therefore, in their view, so-called magicians are people with super powers outside of Academy City - the only difference is the way they develop their abilities, but there is no essential difference.

Therefore, these directors can often accept the existence of the "magician" in a stable manner.

——But it doesn't matter. It's just a misunderstanding, as long as it doesn't hinder our mission.

Stiyl was quite open-minded and didn't waste time explaining. He simply said, "As Kanzaki just said, we came to Academy City this time on a secret mission. Please rest assured that this is our internal affairs of the Puritan Church and will not have any impact on Academy City."

"So? You came to me just to talk about this?" Lin Wuming looked over with confusion.

Although Lin Wuming had known these two people for a long time, he really had no idea what their purpose was in looking for him.

"Uh..." Now it was Stiyl's turn to not know how to respond.

——Put yourself in his shoes. Lin Wuming, who was suddenly found, would indeed feel confused now, right?

Stiyl glanced again at the blonde girl with starry eyes hiding behind him—if I hadn't had my memories read.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Lin Wuming," Stiyl said quickly. "We're just here to say hello tonight—after all, we're already operating on your territory. If we don't greet you beforehand, we could end up in trouble if a conflict arises due to misunderstandings."

"That's true." Lin Wuming nodded, "But it's no use coming to me for this kind of thing. You should go to Chairman Aleister."

"I've already heard what the chairman said," Stiyl said, "and it was the chairman who suggested we come to you."

——Look, it’s that guy!

Lin Wuming complained to Shokuhou Misaki in his heart.

On the surface, he responded, "Okay, I know what you want to say. So, if there's nothing else... let's adjourn the meeting? We're getting ready to go home."

"Uh..." Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori looked at each other, "Then... goodbye?"

If you think about it carefully, there is really nothing else to say. This meeting is really just to say hello.

So, Lin Wuming decisively turned and left. "Damn it! I'm kind of regretting following that Aleister guy's advice." Stiyl muttered as he watched Lin Wuming maneuver his wheelchair away and reunite with the three girls behind him. "That's a completely pointless leak of information!"

Stiyl seriously suspected that Chairman Aleister's real purpose was to create an opportunity for them to meet with "Psychological Mastery" in order to obtain the memory information in their brains!

In actual contact, Lin Wuming also seemed confused.

"It seems that I was negligent and lacked consideration." Kamiya Kaoru blamed herself.

"Forget it, it's done." Stiyl shook his head. "At least after getting to know him, Lin Wuming seems to be a decent guy. He shouldn't be a hindrance to us."

"This is so baffling..." On the way back, Misaka Mikoto also complained, "How come two guys claiming to be magicians suddenly appeared? Are they users with special abilities from somewhere else?"

——Senior Wuming, you can ask Chairman Aleister.

Shokuhou Misaki reminded secretly.

Today, Lin Wuming is playing the role of "himself who doesn't know the original plot", but when it comes to acting, it is impossible to be all-encompassing no matter what.

Therefore, Shokuhou Misaki needs to remind her from time to time and fill in the gaps.

"Indeed..." Lin Wuming nodded in agreement. "We must ask Chairman Aleister for clarification on this matter."

So, Lin Wuming took out his cell phone...

"Yes, I did mention it—I suggested they meet with you," Chairman Aleister admitted readily. "After all, the area they're active in happens to be your territory."

"It's your territory, right?" Lin Wuming complained. "Besides, your building is in the seventh school district, so of course they have to operate here."

"In short, Academy City and the English Puritans currently enjoy a peaceful, non-aggression relationship," Chairman Aleister said. "As long as they don't provoke us, in principle, we don't need to interfere with their actions."

"I understand now," Lin Wuming nodded after receiving the principled guidance. "In short, just ignore them."

Lin Wuming, who didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, decisively hung up the phone and looked at the three girls beside him: "That's it, you heard it too - don't worry about those two weird guys just now."

"Did the chairman really mean this?" Misaka Mikoto questioned.

"Anyway, he didn't ask me to do anything specific," Lin Wuming spread his hands, "The final right of interpretation is mine."

Misaka Mikoto still seemed a little upset, but when she saw that both Tomi Tomi and Shokuhou Misaki accepted this explanation without any objection, she didn't say anything more.

After all, what Misaka Mikoto cared about was the unpleasant feeling of "the puzzle was not solved", and she didn't care that much about the two strangers who claimed to be magicians.

"By the way," Misaka Mikoto changed the subject, "Just how strong is Mumei-senpai now? You've been dueling with Sogiita Gunha constantly this semester, and the fights are getting more and more exaggerated."
