A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 721 "Mitsuki Umihara"

You guys go first, leave this to me - such a proposal certainly couldn't convince the girls present.

Lin Wuming had no choice but to explain: "What I mean is that if there are too many of us, the attacker might be wary and dare not show up."

That’s right, Lin Wuming’s plan was actually very simple - use himself as bait, sit back and wait for the enemy to show up again and attack him.

Since the enemy's goal is to kill you, there is a high probability that they will attack again.

Under this premise, the enemy is most likely to take action when Lin Wuming is alone.

After all, it is definitely easier to sneak attack one level 5 than to sneak attack two level 5s or one level 5 and one level 4.

"That's easy to fix," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Just continue with what you did before."

She said to Toumei Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and Shirai Kuroko.

The three people who were tracking all turned their heads away, some of them were afraid to face Lin Wuming.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" Misaka Mikoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki. "Kuroko's ability probably doesn't allow him to carry a fourth person."

"Don't worry, I know my place and won't force myself to mess things up," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Junko-sister will be here soon, so I'll be leaving for the day."

Shokuhou Misaki has always been very clear about her positioning and requirements for herself. In terms of direct combat, she does not ask for any contribution, but at least she should not become a weakness or even a burden to her side.

"Also," Shokuhou Misaki said loudly for emphasis, "today's date only counts as half a day. You still owe the other half a day, and you have to pay it back later."

"This is the only thing she really doesn't want to suffer any loss." Misaka Mikoto complained, but did not raise any objection.

——Put yourself in their shoes. If you were to encounter such an unexpected situation during a date, you would definitely be very unwilling, right? Of course, you would have to make up for the lost time afterwards.

After the battle plan was finalized, Lin Wuming and his team each took action.

Of course, Shokuhou Misaki did not actually return to the school garden, but followed behind Misaka Mikoto and the other three in her special car, acting as a temporary mobile base.

Lin Wuming began to wander aimlessly, moving around the block where the attacker last disappeared.

While acting as bait, he kept in touch with Misaka Mikoto and the others who were following behind him through his mobile phone, and observed from their perspective whether there were any suspicious people around him.

But until night fell, nothing was found.

In fact, Lin Wuming was not very sure that the enemy would attack again.

It's just a possibility.

After all, for a profession like "Assassin", it is normal to flee thousands of miles away if you miss the first strike.

Those who are obsessed with ensuring that their targets are killed might be more appropriately called "death soldiers."

——Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to launch a city-wide manhunt as they said.

Lin Wuming also felt a little regretful.

It’s really a waste of time to go fishing myself now.

The main reason why Lin Wuming wanted to take action personally was "curiosity".

He was very curious about what kind of attack method the enemy used, and why it could bring him a "fatal crisis" while being so weak.

This strange and unreasonable attack mode easily reminds people of "magic".

Lin Wuming had been involved in quite a few magical incidents recently, so it wasn't surprising that he'd subconsciously formed such an association. He didn't know which magician he'd offended again, so it was imperative that he find a way to capture the attacker and question him personally. After all, magical incidents were often dangerous and troublesome. Even if one knew some of the original storyline, facing them in person would reveal that "hearing" and "personal experience" were two completely different things.

After several actual experiences, Lin Wuming was already fed up. That was why he was eager to find out the cause of the problem so that he could deal with it or avoid risks in advance.

Of course, these plans are based on the premise that all the above assumptions are true...

Unfortunately, Lin Wuming didn't gain anything from his afternoon stroll.

Just when Lin Wuming was about to disband and go home, he met an acquaintance.

"Student Lin Wuming." Mitsuki Kaihara came towards him from the other end of the road.

This noble young man of noble birth was as kind as ever, with an impeccable smile on his face that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Mitsuki Kaihara and Wuming Lin have a good relationship and they still maintain regular communication.

Lin Wuming looked over in surprise: "It's amazing that you recognized me so quickly."

Mitsuki Kaihara was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Ah, you mean that? After all, it's just a change from sitting to standing. The person hasn't changed, so it shouldn't be unrecognizable, right?"

"No," Lin Wuming shook his head, a meaningful look on his face. "Actually, what I really mean is—I don't know you. Who are you?"

"You're such a joker, Lin Wuming." Haiyuan Guanggui laughed. "When did we become strangers? Did you lose your memory?"

However, noticing that Lin Wuming didn't look like he was joking, Mitsuki Kaihara's expression gradually turned cold.

He put his hands in his pockets and put on a rather arrogant look: "I always thought that we had a good relationship. Could it be that this was just my wishful thinking?"

"I do have a good relationship with Mitsuki Umihara," Lin Wuming said, "but first of all, the Mitsuki Umihara I know is an excellent telekinetic user... so who are you?"

"What?" The other party showed a surprised expression.

"I can't see your telekinesis," Lin Wuming said, "and if you were really Mitsuki Kaihara, you would have seen this a long time ago."

There was still a puzzled look on the other person's face, but then Lin Wuming's mental attack told him the answer.

"So stop acting, magician."

A faint "mist" floated around Lin Wuming - a sparse barrier composed of diamond abrasive particles.

And a small steel ball.

"Why don't you show me the item in your pocket?" Lin Wuming said, "I can give you a chance to attack."

The "Mitsuki Kaihara" opposite seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless.

Finally, he gave up and said, "This city is indeed full of weirdness and incomprehensibility."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black dagger from his pocket.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wuming suddenly understood.

——As expected, in the end, he still targeted Mitsuki Kaihara?
The other party did not swing the dagger, nor did he even point the tip of the knife at Lin Wuming.

But at a certain moment, the "fatal attack" still appeared in front of Lin Wuming without any warning.
