A Scientific Urban Detective

Losing his patience, Accelerator didn't care about anything else and began to act on his own, attacking the ground around the indoor theater.

While Hamazura Shiage had been giving a long-winded explanation of the "mission plot" in an attempt to stall for time, Accelerator hadn't been idle. He had already explored the underground part of the building to a considerable extent.

Although he couldn't find the "Underground Arena" in one go, the obviously abnormal underground tunnels were immediately apparent!

With just one strike, Accelerator dug out the secret passage buried ten meters underground!

"Wait, we haven't received the signal yet..." Hamazura Shiage was stunned by this action, and forgetting his fear for a moment, he hurriedly ran over, shouting.

But before he could reach Accelerator, another explosion came from the other side of the indoor theater building...

Three giant "light orbs" with a diameter of more than half a meter surrounded Mugino Shizuri, blasting deadly "light beams" towards the ground below.

"Meltdowner," among all the Level 5s, the purest destructive superpower.

Even underground facilities sturdy enough to withstand bunker-buster bombs were equally vulnerable to "Meltdowner."

Unlike Accelerator, who completely ignored the rules, the four members of "ITEM" had honestly followed the instructions on the "walkthrough", and only entered the indoor theater after answering all the passwords correctly.

But as the "walkthrough" mentioned, no waiter appeared to take them down to the real "Underground Arena."

Of course not, because of Lin Wuming and Kurozuma Wataru's activities, the entire "Underground Arena's" operation was already in chaos.

The organizer, "Fake ITEM," had been repeatedly defeated by Lin Wuming, and the leader, Fujirime Komichi Maple, was still fighting fiercely with Lin Wuming, causing the entire organization to be in a state of leaderlessness.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, how could anyone come to welcome a few girls?

The long wait without being greeted finally caused Mugino Shizuri, who had been holding back her anger, to explode completely.

Originally, they had planned to "sneak in," so they patiently followed the "walkthrough," but then they discovered that the "walkthrough" was simply a lie. How could a dignified Level 5 tolerate this?

Just at this moment, an unexplained "explosion" suddenly occurred on the other side.

Mugino Shizuri's eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to fire "Meltdowner."

As for the direction of attack, there was no need to worry at all.

"It's deeper underground," Takitsubo Rikou licked "Body Crystal," and her whole body seemed to be shimmering with a hazy light. "In addition to Lin Wuming's fluctuations, there is also an ATM diffusion field fluctuation that I have never seen before—they are fighting."

"There's no mistake, it's there!" Frenda was eager to try with a bomb in each hand. "In the end, a strong attack is useful!"

Kinuhata Saiai, as the dedicated bodyguard, was very concerned about Takitsubo Rikou's current state: "Takitsubo, are you... okay now? I feel like her condition is super weird!"

"I'm fine, it's just a side effect of the new equipment," Takitsubo Rikou said nonchalantly. "Be careful, the esper on the other side of the building, his fluctuations are very strong..."

After a pause, Takitsubo Rikou continued: "Like Mugino, he is a Level 5!"

Mugino Shizuri's eyes instantly became sharp.

"In the end, other Level 5s have come too?" Frenda said. "Could it be 'School'?"

"Hmph! No matter who he is, let's complete the mission first." Mugino Shizuri felt a sense of crisis. This was their "ITEM's" mission, and if it was intercepted by other dark side organizations...

"Ah!" Takitsubo Rikou suddenly exclaimed again.

"What's wrong now?" Mugino Shizuri asked.

"So many fluctuations..." Takitsubo Rikou said, "Suddenly, many espers above Level 3 are approaching nearby!"

Mugino Shizuri said nothing, and the light of "Meltdowner" around her became even brighter.

It seems that there are more people trying to steal our business than expected! Now is not the time to delay.

What Takitsubo Rikou didn't say was that just now, she seemed to have detected the fluctuations of a third Level 5...

Led by Mugino Shizuri, the members of "ITEM" jumped into the underground tunnel and advanced all the way to the location of the Underground Arena.

The successive actions of the two Level 5s, Accelerator and Mugino Shizuri, caused a huge commotion, and the entire district was in an uproar.

The security forces and Anti-Skill members who had already deployed manpower and were ambushing in plain clothes in the vicinity, couldn't wait for the signal in the original plan, and simultaneously surrounded the center of the incident.

"Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck..." While chasing after Accelerator, Hamazura Shiage shouted that things were going badly.

As expected of a Level 5? With one move, they caused such a huge wave, pushing things to a completely uncontrollable point...

At this moment, Hamazura Shiage couldn't care too much. While running, he took out his mobile phone and called his boss, Komaba Ritoku, who was still waiting in the restaurant.

"...In short, the current situation has completely exceeded Hattori's plan... I... Damn it, I can't control so much, I'm going down first!"

After briefly explaining the situation on the phone, Hamazura Shiage seemed to have made some kind of determination, and suddenly hung up the phone and went silent.

Komaba Ritoku clenched his phone. Of course, he also heard the huge explosions coming from the direction of the indoor theater, and also saw the suddenly noisy and chaotic crowd and streets from the restaurant window.

Now is not the time to stick to the original plan!

His small giant-like body suddenly stood up, put the counted change on the table to pay the bill, Komaba Ritoku didn't say a word, and strode out of the restaurant.

The streets outside were indeed in chaos, but not panic—a few explosions were not enough to make the citizens of this city panic.

The chaotic crowd even included many people who wanted to go and see what was happening.

However, they were immediately stopped by the security forces and Anti-Skill members who were already prepared.

As a result, some people approached the center of the incident, while others were persuaded to return by the security forces and Anti-Skill members in front, and the two groups of people squeezed each other on the surrounding streets, resulting in the vortex-like chaos in front of them.

Of course, relying on his burly body and fierce face, Komaba Ritoku was able to move freely through this chaotic crowd.

Komaba Ritoku was tall and stood at least a head taller than the surrounding students and citizens, making him stand out from the crowd and particularly conspicuous.

In addition, he was moving firmly against the tide in a chaotic crowd, advancing towards the indoor theater, which immediately attracted the attention of the security forces who were maintaining order.

"Yomikawa-sensei, is that the child you are looking for?" Someone immediately sent the message to Yomikawa Aiho.

"Komaba Ritoku! It's him!" Yomikawa Aiho recognized the escaped convict at a glance. "Where is he? I'm coming over!"

Although many things had happened, Yomikawa Aiho had not forgotten her original purpose.

Cases must be dealt with one by one. Many colleagues are already responsible for the Underground Arena, so Yomikawa Aiho decided to focus on arresting the "escaped convicts" trio first.

A few minutes later, Komaba Ritoku, who was breaking through the waves in the crowd, saw Yomikawa Aiho waiting in front of him.
