It was currently early in the morning.
Fangzheng held onto the steering wheel and looked at the scenery ahead of him. The morning breeze blowing in through the window was a little chilly, but it was not a problem for Fangzheng.
The problem was....
"This is Lubang, Professor Moriarty. How are the preparations going on your side?"
"Everything went well … Anyway, can't you change your name? Riko? "
"Aiya, how can you say your real name? What if you're being eavesdropped on! "
Who the hell can eavesdrop on my personal terminal in this tiny little world.... I'd like to see who's more capable than my little angel....
Listening to Riko's complaints on the other side of the communication terminal, Fangzheng sighed silently. They were not in the campus city, but the city of the Military Detective High School where Riko was studying. Early in the morning, Fangzheng was woken up by Riko. She told him that she had locked onto the movements of the Military Detective Assassins based on the intelligence and requested for Fangzheng and Frenda to cooperate. Hence, Fangzheng yawned and hurried over to the teleportation portal together with Frenda and arrived in the city.
Frankly speaking, this was quite a novel thing for Frenda. But after witnessing Fangzheng's instant-kill of a level 5 'Atomic Collapse', Frenda realized that Fangzheng was obviously not just an ordinary researcher. Furthermore, she was a spatial ability user, so she could understand a spatial shift of this degree.
"Good, good, good. I'm ready too. Frenda is ready too."
"Don't call me Frenda, call me Irene Adler! Professor Moriarty! "
".... Alright, alright, Irene is ready too, Lubang."
Fangzheng felt like he was role-playing with a child. He really did not expect Riko to have such an interest.
But....
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to agree."
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned to look at Frenda beside him. She was no longer dressed in her usual attire. Instead, she was wearing a lacy uniform and miniskirt, along with black stockings and a cloak. She looked like she was participating in cosplay.
Incidentally, this set of clothes was made by Riko herself.
"I thought you didn't like going to the Black Ops? I thought you'd reject Riko's invitation as well. "
"This is different, Professor Moriarty."
Unlike Fangzheng, Frenda was obviously very interested in this game. She grinned at Fangzheng and stuck out a finger.
"How cool would a Monster Thief be? Think about it, in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of the public, using a method that no one could think of to steal a treasure. How cool and romantic is that! On the other hand, the missions in the Black Ops are dangerous, and they might die silently in a corner. I don't want that to happen. You see, a beautiful girl like me, if I were to join the Black Ops, who knows when I might be cut into two. That would be very tragic, don't you think? "
To put it simply, the Rogue could show off, but the Black Ops could only die.
Fangzheng silently summed up Frenda's words.... Well, he had to admit that she was right.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
To be on the safe side, Fangzheng still asked. Although Frenda's ability level was the same as Shiroi Kuroko and Danxi at level 4, the main reason she was rated as level 4 was because her ability was a very rare characteristic even among spatial ability users. But in terms of convenience, she was definitely no match for Shiroi Kuroko who could teleport anywhere and anytime.
Therefore, although Frenda was eager to try, Fangzheng was still a little worried. After all, she was an ability user. She was definitely the strongest in terms of ability, but that was not necessarily the case. If Misaka Mikoto's electric shock was ineffective, she would be an ordinary little girl. The same was true for Bee-Eater Cao Qi. She could not resist when he pulled her into his arms and did whatever he wanted. Other than her ability, she was nothing but trash.
Therefore, Fangzheng was very suspicious of Frenda's combat ability.
Frenda was not happy when she heard that.
"Don't underestimate me, Professor Moriarty. I'm still a level 4. Besides, even if I don't use my ability, a mere detective killer is still a piece of cake for me!"
"Alright, let's see what you're made of."
Fangzheng only shrugged at Frenda's reply. He did not take it to heart. After all, he was here to watch over her. If anything happened, he just had to deal with it himself.
"But try not to use anything from Gakuen Metropolis as much as possible in case someone catches you."
"Don't worry, Professor Moriarty. You can count on me!"
As she spoke, Frenda stuck her tongue out at Fangzheng with a grin.
However... Fangzheng was not at ease at all.
'But forget it. It doesn't matter. '
"All in all, you have to be careful. Try not to leave behind any biological information about yourself. You're different from Riko..."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng could not help but think of Riko. Even he had to admit that after unlocking Riko's potential, Fangzheng realized that Riko's ability was like a bug.
As mentioned before, Riko's ability was to manipulate her own body and transform it into any material and shape. But that was not all. Riko could now extract DNA data from others and replicate it to "transform"!
It was not as simple as wearing a human skin mask like many robbers did. It was a complete replication from the inside out, including the iris, fingerprints, DNA, and other biological data. In other words, if Riko went to steal something, it would not matter even if she left fingerprints, hair, and blood at the scene, because they could all belong to someone else!
Fangzheng finally understood why Lu Bang became such a famous robber. With this ability, even in the modern era, technology alone could not stop him. He had to rely on magic.
If this was decades ago in the era of antique technology, the robbers would have been able to come and go as they pleased...
But Frenda was different. As a level 4 almighty, her information was recorded in the library of Gakuen Metropolis. If she left anything at the scene, the robbers would be able to find it and immediately catch her.
This was no longer the era of reasoning.
At that moment, Riko's voice came again.
"Professor Moriarty, target locked. Move out immediately!"
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
As he spoke, Fangzheng yawned and stepped on the accelerator.
Then, the sports car sped away.
Fangzheng had learned from Riko about the cause and effect of the incident. Not long ago, a school bus belonging to a military detective high school was hijacked by a military detective assassin. However, the assassin did not send a few burly men with guns to hijack the bus. On the contrary, the assassin called the military detective high school students on the bus and told them that a bomb was installed on the bus. Once the bus slowed down, the bomb would explode.
Therefore, they could not stop the bus and could only continue moving forward.
In a sense, the bus was indeed hijacked.
But...
"Why does this feel so familiar..."
After listening to Riko's explanation, Fangzheng instinctively thought of an episode of Detective Conan... If this was a Shinkansen, the bomb must have been placed on the tracks.
But if it was a school bus...
"It must be on the chassis of the bus."
Frenda answered confidently.
"If it were me, I would never place it in the bus because it would be easily found. I can't place it on the roof either, so the chassis is the best choice. Besides, they can't stop the bus to defuse the bomb under the bus right now, can they? "
"Why do you have nothing better to do all day and only think about these useless things?"
Fangzheng glanced at Frenda in annoyance. As a Level-4 Almighty, can't you use your intelligence where it's appropriate?
"Is there a way to defuse it?"
Riko became worried. She could control her body to turn into liquid and attach to the chassis of the school bus. That was not difficult, but defusing the bomb... that was beyond Riko's skill range.
"Of course, it's a piece of cake for me. But let's see what the bomb looks like first... Professor Moriarty, take me there."
"No problem."
By then, the military detective high school students had already called the police. The police quickly cleared away the surrounding cars. After all, it was the morning rush hour. If the school bus exploded in a densely populated area, the people on the bus would not be the only ones who would die. But Fangzheng had his own ways. Since the school bus was randomly driving according to the military detective high school killer's instructions, the police could not completely lock down the area. All Fangzheng had to do was follow the school bus from a distance.
In fact, after Fangzheng drove the sports car to the highway, they soon saw the school bus speeding on the viaduct opposite them.
At this moment, the school bus was running on the viaduct, and on its left and right sides, there were three driverless Ferraris following closely behind. On these three Ferraris, one could even see Uzi submachine guns installed, and it was obvious that they were remotely controlled.
"Wow, it's actually true!"
Frenda's eyes widened in excitement. She had only seen this kind of scene in the movies. She had never experienced it herself!
"There's no police nearby.... But that's not surprising."
Fangzheng glanced around and saw that the police cars only dared to follow from afar. That was normal. After all, the other party could remotely control the bomb. They must have asked the police not to intervene, or else they would have detonated the bomb. Under such circumstances, the police had no other choice but to lock down the road and follow the school bus.
"Alright, don't think about it. Do you see the bomb? What do you think? Can you handle it? "
"Don't worry, Professor Moriarty."
As she spoke, Frenda took out a pair of binoculars and looked under the school bus carefully. She immediately nodded.
"No problem, I can handle it!"
"Huh? What are you going to do? Do you want me to send you there? "
"No need."
Frenda shook her head proudly.
"Professor Moriarty, you just need to drive the car in front of the school bus. Leave the rest to me. I'll blow it up with the bomb!"
".... Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng and Riko were stunned.
"Are you a f * cking spy sent by a monkey? Whose side are you on? "
Using a bomb to detonate a bomb.... Fangzheng had never seen such a strange method of defusing explosives in both his previous and current life.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine! Trust me! "
Frenda was full of confidence. Fangzheng had nothing else to say. All he could do was....
"Then Riko.... no, Lu Bang, what do you think?"
"Can you really do it? Fran.... no, Irene? "
"Of course."
Frenda raised her head proudly in response to Riko's question.
"Who do you think I am? I'm a Level-4 Almighty — 'Curved Guide' Frenda Sewillen! This is a piece of cake for me! "
"That's a spatial ability, not an explosive ability, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng silently lampooned inwardly.
If it was an explosive ability, he would have more confidence in Hui Hui and Louise.
But even without Frenda's explanation, Fangzheng already knew the true nature of her ability. Unlike the stupid researcher from before, when Frenda first used her ability, Fangzheng had already detected the true form of her ability through his personal terminal — — the Möbius strip.
That was why Frenda's ability allowed her to retrieve and release items at will, and also why she couldn't use her ability on herself.
But no matter what, it had nothing to do with explosions.... Besides, that's obviously your hobby!
"Then we'll do as you say! I trust you! As long as you can detonate that bomb, I can retrieve it. Maybe we can find some clues to catch that military detective killer! "
Since Riko had made her decision, Fangzheng naturally didn't question her any further. He turned the steering wheel and sped through the highway junction. Then, he followed Riko's instructions and arrived at the exit of the viaduct. Frenda reached her hand out from under her skirt and took out a few palm-sized rabbit plushies.
Fangzheng: "....???"
How did she take out such a big toy from under her skirt?
Although Fangzheng knew that Frenda's powers were like that, couldn't she have presented it in a better way?
But before Fangzheng could say anything, Frenda casually tossed the plushies out of the car window and... closed the window.
"That's it?"
"It's over."
Frenda giggled and made a V sign to Fangzheng.
[Bookish Pavilion]
Don't worry, Professor Moriarty. Watch me!]
What else could Fangzheng say?
All he could do was watch.
Not long after Fangzheng drove past the exit of the viaduct, the hijacked school bus also sped down the viaduct. The Ferrari following behind it did not change at all.
However, just as the school bus and the Ferrari drove off the highway, suddenly, an unimaginable scene happened.
"Boom!!"
The plushies Frenda tossed into the bushes suddenly exploded. The fragments of the explosion shot out and pierced the tire of one of the Ferraris. The Ferrari with a flat tire lost its direction, slid to the side, and crashed heavily into another Ferrari. Shortly after, the third Ferrari behind couldn't dodge in time and crashed into the two Ferraris in front. In a deafening explosion, the three expensive Ferraris turned into fireballs.
At the same time as the three Ferraris exploded, the other plushies Frenda tossed out also exploded. The shrapnel flew in all directions and hit the tire of the school bus. The school bus began to skid and twist crazily before it came to a stop in the middle of the highway.
No one noticed that at that moment, the bomb at the bottom of the school bus also stopped and began to flash crazily.
In just a few seconds, it was enough to turn the whole school bus into a ball of fire.
But at that moment, the last rabbit plushie at the bottom of the bomb suddenly began to expand.
"Bang!!"
The violent airflow directly punched a hole in the bottom of the school bus. The bomb twisted and flew into the air. Its signal light began to flash crazily. Just as it was about to explode, a figure descended from the sky. Her silver-white hair stretched out like the wings of an angel and wrapped around the bomb that was about to explode.
Strangely enough, the bomb that was about to explode immediately stopped moving after being wrapped, as if it was completely dead.
At this moment, the frightened students in the school bus looked up and saw a petite figure wearing a strange evening gown, top hat, and cloak standing on the roof of the bus, looking at them with a smile.
