A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 596 Contradictory Mission

Lin Wuming and his party quickly arrived at the agreed location and met Kamiya Huozhi who was waiting there.

Kamiya Kaoru did take the initiative to invite Lin Wuming, so she was not surprised at all to see him coming. She just took a closer look at the girls around him.

Similarly, Lin Wuming was also looking around, trying to find Kamiya Huozhi's partner, but he did not find Stiyl.

"Where are your companions?" Lin Wuming asked.

"Stiyl isn't here," Kanzaki Kaori said, "He went to look for Kamijou Touma."

Then, Kanzaki Kaoru bowed solemnly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Wuming, your classmate Kamijou Touma has also been involved in this matter. We deeply apologize for this!"

In the eyes of the two magicians, Lin Wuming was considered a local tyrant in the Academy City area. Lin Wuming's school and classmates were under his protection.

Now that they had rashly touched Lin Wuming's classmates, it was hard to guarantee that this local tyrant would not become furious.

It was to clear up the misunderstanding that Kamijou Kaori came over to explain: "Don't worry, we promise not to harm... harm Kamijou Touma's life."

In other words, he could only ensure that Kamijou Touma was not killed.

The Church of Necessary Evil is, after all, a violent enforcement agency. Being able to make such a guarantee is already a rare achievement.

The plot finally returned to normal—Lin Wuming wasn't surprised by this, but he still felt a little complicated. He couldn't help but ask, "So, what exactly is your purpose? How did you get that unlucky Kamijou Touma involved?"

"Because Kamijou Touma decided to become Index's guardian."

"Uh, if I remember correctly, you should be companions, right?" Lin Wuming asked, "That's what you said yesterday, right?"

"Yes." Kamiya Kaori nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then why exactly? After all, you should be on the same team, right?" Lin Wuming wasn't acting; he was complaining sincerely, "There was originally no conflict, yet you insisted on creating one, traveling all the way to our Academy City to start a fight... Why bother?"

Kamijou Kaori fell silent.

As mages of the Church of Necessary Evil, they were primarily responsible for following orders and prioritizing completing their missions. They didn't need to think too much about complicated matters.

But now, after Lin Wuming's reminder, Shen Lie Huozhi also noticed that the process of this mission has exceeded the original plan and developed to an incredible level.

Even the girls around Lin Wuming looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated, as if they wanted to complain.

Kamiya Kaoru felt that her defense was increasingly feeble and powerless - when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that no matter how she looked at it, she was the one who was wrong, right?
Kamijou Touma had done nothing wrong; he had merely offered a helping hand to a girl in need. If he had been injured as a result, then no matter how you looked at it, it would have been the fault of the one who had injured him...

The main purpose of Kamijou Kaoru's visit this time was to say hello in advance - after all, their next action might very well send Lin Wuming's classmate Kamijou Touma to the hospital.

Considering that he is the civic center within Lin Wuming's sphere of influence, and considering the strength displayed by Lin Wuming, Steele believes it is necessary to communicate in advance.

As a result, before gaining Lin Wuming's understanding, Kamisaki Kaoru was first stumped by Lin Wuming's several "soul-searching questions." Kamisaki remained silent, somewhat awkwardly. Although she was a powerful natural saint, perhaps precisely because of her status as a saint, her moral standards were also higher than others.

In short, it means being thinner-skinned.

——If it were Stiyl, he would definitely stick to his beliefs without wavering, right?

Kamiya Kaoru smiled bitterly in her heart.

For Steele, completing the mission is the top priority, and under this premise, appropriate sacrifices are acceptable.

Stiyl's strength lies in his indifference to the concept of "sacrifice" - even if he himself has to pay the price, he will act without hesitation.

As for Kamijou Kaori herself—her half-baked strength and immature awareness, even though she possesses the power to eliminate "misfortune", she always fails to do so...

With mixed emotions, Kamijou Kaori couldn't help but hold onto the hilt of her sword, trying to use it to calm herself down. This was a habit of hers as a "swordsman."

However, her action instantly caused a reaction from Tiger Bee.

Tiger Bee's idea is very simple. From the beginning, he assumes that the other party is the enemy and is always ready for war. The newly bought ribbon hangs from his hand, and "absolute penetration" is ready to go.

If Lin Wuming had not stopped him in time, Hufeng Toumi would have probably stabbed him with his sword.

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent and "sword energy" from the opposite side, Kamiya Kaoru couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She used her strong willpower to restrain the urge to draw her sword and looked calmly at the blonde girl opposite.

I'd never noticed this girl before, but upon closer inspection, she's clearly a beautiful young woman. Why is her presence so low? Could she be a natural-born killer?
Of course, Kamiya Kaoru knew about Hufeng Toumi - as one of the closest people to Lin Wuming, Hufeng Toumi's name was also mentioned in the mission briefing. He was a level 4 ability user with very strong combat capabilities. According to the assessment, his level of danger was even higher than some level 5s!

There was also a photo of Toumi Hufeng in the mission briefing. Kamisaki Kaori was not face-blind. With her saintly eyesight and memory, she should have been able to identify and recognize Toumi Hufeng, the specially highlighted character, from the crowd at a glance.

But now, when they were actually dealing with each other face to face, he realized that this girl was too "low-key". She was like a shadow beside Lin Wuming, always making people subconsciously ignore her.

It's so low-key that it's a bit scary.

——Judging from her momentum just now, if she really drew her sword...

However, Kamisaka Kaori's eyes were bright and seemed to be able to emit light; it was a rare opportunity to meet such a good opponent, and her "swordsman" side couldn't help but get excited.

"I've heard that Mr. Lin Wuming has a powerful swordsman by his side," Kamiya Kaoru said eagerly, "Miss Tiger Bee Toumi, we must have a sparring match if we get a chance."

"...Not interested." Tiger Bee Toumi glanced at her and answered expressionlessly.

After confirming that Kamiya Kaoru had no intention of drawing her sword, Hufeng Toumi put away the ribbon, retreated behind Lin Wuming, and used the wheelchair to hide her hands.

Like a snake that hides its fangs but is ready to strike at any time.
