A Scientific Urban Detective

#114 - Pre-war deployment

Hearing Kakine Teitoku's words, Okazaki Himei immediately laughed: "Boss is indeed joking. We would never betray you. You should know that best."

"This has nothing to do with your intentions, but rather the effect of the superpower." Kakine Teitoku said seriously, without a smile, "Level 5, a superpower on my level."

"No way…" Okazaki Himei stared blankly, looking at the figure on the screen, "This girl…"

Kakine Teitoku shrugged: "Otherwise, why do you think that old guy would have me personally carry out this boring task?"

Yobou Banka also became curious, scrutinizing the blonde girl through the screen: "An unconfirmed Level 5? A mental系 user? So that's how she can openly hide in the research institute."

"What about Lin Wuming?" Okazaki Himei suddenly remembered the original target of the mission.

"He is also one of the mission targets." Kakine Teitoku said, "His NEN ability is also somewhat unique. So, as arranged yesterday—Yobou Banka."

"Understood, leave it to me." Various objects around Yobou Banka suddenly floated up, orbiting around him like small satellites, "NEN ability… There is no stronger NEN user in this world than me."

"Eh~" Okazaki Himei laughed, "You've become much more humble. Before, you were planning to compete with the boss for the title of 'Omnipotent Ability User,' but now you're only limiting yourself to the superpower range of NEN user…"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Yobou Banka suddenly turn pale, quickly covering his mouth, looking like he was about to throw up.

"Alright, alright," Okazaki Himei showed an annoyed expression, "Can't even mention it? So why did you do that kind of thing in the first place…"

Ignoring her complaints and teasing, the objects floating around Yobou Banka fell to the ground, and he quickly rushed out of the room…

Only two people remained in the office.

Okazaki Himei opened her makeup bag and began checking the equipment inside.

"The boss is really something, leaving such a deep psychological shadow on people?"

Before joining the dark side organization "School," Yobou Banka, who had already become a Level 4 "NEN user," was very confident in his abilities. In addition to the natural "omnipotent" nature of NEN, through learning and development, he could indeed use NEN to perform various operations, even to the point of imitating other types of superpowers.

Such as "fire manipulation" and "electrification."

Under this premise, Yobou Banka unsurprisingly became dissatisfied with Academy City's superpower classification system—he felt that he, who was so "omnipotent," should also be a Level 5.

Then, after joining the dark side organization "School," Yobou Banka challenged Kakine Teitoku, the "Unexplored Matter," who was also known for his "omnipotence," attempting to overthrow him and prove his strength.

As for the result…

You can tell from his current state—even slightly recalling that battle would cause symptoms of physiological tension and vomiting.

Kakine Teitoku also shook his head: "Such poor psychological endurance."

"It's just that you're too amazing, boss. No matter who it is, facing you head-on won't end well, right? Yobou Banka is already very strong." Okazaki Himei said something fair for once.

After all, after that, Yobou Banka didn't run away but continued to stay in "School," working alongside Kakine Teitoku.

"That's why I have a high opinion of him," Kakine Teitoku said, "and entrust him with important tasks."

Okazaki Himei said: "NEN user versus NEN user? And it's likely to be a battle for the 'Strongest NEN User' title. I want to see it."

Okazaki Himei was the only audience member for the last battle between Yobou Banka and Kakine Teitoku. It was undeniable that Yobou Banka's arrogance was justified. Regardless of his actual combat power, at least the fight was very flashy and highly entertaining.

In his hands, NEN ability was almost played to the extreme, truly worthy of the name "omnipotent."

In addition, his opponent was Kakine Teitoku, who unfolded his superpower with wings on his back, like a divine angel, which was also gorgeous and beautiful.

If the battle scenes of the two of them were filmed, there would be no need for any post-production processing, it would be comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.

The mission target, Lin Wuming, is said to be an expert in NEN ability. Okazaki Himei is looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks will fly between him and Yobou Banka.

"Watching the fun is fine, but it can't affect the mission." Kakine Teitoku said, "In this research institute, there is at least one Level 4 Dai能力者. Once a war starts, she is likely to become Shokuhou Misaki's helper. You need to find a way to lure her away."

"No problem!" Okazaki Himei readily agreed.

For her, it doesn't matter whether the opponent's ability is strong or weak, because she will never "fight" from the beginning.

Under the effect of the "Mental Stinger" ability, combat is an option that can be directly excluded.

Unless… Okazaki Himei thought of that "ghost girl," and Shokuhou Misaki, who they regarded as their number one enemy this time.

As "mental interference" type ability users, they seem to be immune to her ability's effects.

Okazaki Himei found it very annoying.

However, Kakine Teitoku is probably referring to the girl named Kazakiri Hyouka, who is a complete "combat faction," and whose superpower has extremely destructive effects; but this is precisely the type that Okazaki Himei is best at dealing with.

The bustle of "Artificial Atelier" continued until the third day. In order to pursue authenticity, the entire research institute, except for Kuramoto Shunzo and his close aides, believed that the experiment was about to begin.

The children who were the experimental subjects also became nervous.

And on this day, the energy preparation work, which had been delayed for a long time, finally began. It seemed that everything was ready, and the experiment could officially begin in the evening.

Shokuhou Misaki remained motionless, watching coldly from the shadows.

After these two days of investigation, she was even more certain that this was a conspiracy.

Like Mikari Ayu, Shokuhou Misaki also found the research institute cadres hidden in the crowd and saw the whole picture of the plan from their minds.

Therefore, in her opinion, the busyness of the research institute these days was like a farce, not worth mentioning.

What really needs attention is the dark side organization "School" hidden in the crowd, especially their leader, "Unexplored Matter" Kakine Teitoku.

As if playing a thrilling game of hide-and-seek, Shokuhou Misaki had been carefully moving around these two days, trying to catch the moment when the three of "School" came to the lower level to move around.

At that time, as long as she quietly aimed at them with the remote control…

In a toilet stall in the research institute, a man held his phone with trembling hands, as if engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

Finally, after a battle between heaven and man, he finally made a decision.

Lighting up the screen, his fingertips trembled as he dialed the string of numbers he had long memorized…

"Hello!" The toilet was empty and very quiet. He was startled by his own voice and quickly lowered his voice, "Hello, is this the 'Hero' Lin Wuming? This is 'Artificial Atelier'…"
