It was early morning now.

Fang Zheng held the steering wheel and looked at the street scene in front of him. The morning breeze blowing in from the car window was a little cold, but it was certainly not a problem for Fang Zheng.

The problem is...

"This is Lupin, Professor Moriarty, how are the preparations going on your end?"

"Everything is going well...By the way, can't you use a different name? Riko?"

"Oh, how can you say your real name? What if it's eavesdropped?"

In this small world, how could God eavesdrop on my personal terminal... I want to see who can be better than the little angel...

Hearing Riko's complaints on the other side of the communication terminal, Fang Zheng sighed silently. At the moment, they were not in the Academy City, but in the city where Riko studied at Butei High School. Fang Zheng was woken up by Riko early this morning, saying that she had locked onto the actions of the "Butei Killer" based on the intelligence, and asked Fang Zheng and Frenda to cooperate. So Fang Zheng yawned and went through the portal with Frenda who hurried over, and then came to this city.

Frankly speaking, this was quite a novel thing for Flanda. However, after witnessing Fang Zheng's instant kill of Lv5 Atomic Disintegration, Flanda realized that Fang Zheng was obviously not just an ordinary researcher. In addition, she herself was a user of spatial ability, so this degree of spatial transfer - well, it was understandable.

"Okay, okay, I'm ready here too...Frenda won't be a problem either."

"Don't call her Flanda, call her Irene Adler! Professor Moriarty!"

"…Okay, okay, Irene is ready too, Lupin."

Fang Zheng felt like he was playing role-playing games with a child. He really didn't expect that Lizi would have an interest in this area.

but……

"To be honest, I was really surprised that you agreed."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head to look at Flanda beside him. Flanda was no longer dressed in her usual attire. She was wearing a lace uniform and miniskirt, black stockings and a cape. She looked like a Cosplay character.

By the way, Riko made this outfit herself.

"Don't you dislike going to ANBU? I thought you would refuse when Riko invited you."

"This is different, Professor Moriarty."

Unlike Fang Zheng, Flanda was obviously very interested in this game. She looked at Fang Zheng with a smile and then stretched out a finger.

"Phantom Thieves are so cool. Just think about it. In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, stealing treasures in ways that no one could imagine. How cool and romantic! On the other hand, if you join the Anbu, the mission is dangerous, and you might die silently in a corner. I don't want to become like that. You see, if a beautiful girl like me joins the Anbu, I might be cut in half at any time. That would be very tragic, don't you think?"

To put it simply, Phantom Thieves can show off, but Anbu can only die.

Fang Zheng silently summarized what Flanda said... Well, I have to say, what she said was really correct.

"By the way, are you really okay?"

To be on the safe side, Fang Zheng still asked. Although Frenda's ability level is Lv4, the same as Shirai Kuroko and Yuuki Yume, the biggest reason why she was rated as Lv4 is because her ability is a very rare trait even among space ability users. However, when it comes to convenience, she is definitely incomparable to Shirai Kuroko who can teleport anytime and anywhere.

So even though Frenda looked eager to try, Fang Zheng was still a little worried. After all, a person with special abilities would definitely be the strongest in terms of abilities, but that was not necessarily the case beyond that. For example, if the electric shock was ineffective, Misaka Mikoto would be just an ordinary little girl. The same was true for Shokuhou Misaki. She was pulled over by him and held in his arms and could do whatever he wanted without being able to resist. She was simply weak except for her abilities.

Therefore, Fang Zheng also doubted Flanda's fighting ability.

Upon hearing this, Flanda immediately became unhappy.

"Don't underestimate me, Professor Moriarty. I am at least Level 4. Moreover, even without using my abilities, a mere Butei Killer can be easily captured by me!"

"Okay, then I'll see what you can do."

Fang Zheng just shrugged his shoulders in response to Flanda's answer, not taking it too seriously. He was watching over her anyway, and he would just have to clean up any problems himself.

"However, you should try not to use things in Academy City, so as not to be caught by others."

"Don't worry, Professor Moriarty, you can rely on me to do the job!"

As she spoke, Flanda smiled and stuck out her tongue at Fang Zheng.

However... Fang Zheng was not at all reassured.

But never mind. It doesn't matter.

"In short, you have to be careful and try not to leave any biological information about yourself. You are different from Riko..."

At this point, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of Feng Riko again. Even he had to admit that after developing Riko's potential, Fang Zheng discovered that Riko's ability was too buggy.

As mentioned before, Riko's ability is to manipulate her body and transform it into any material and shape. But in fact, it's more than that. Now, Riko can extract the DNA data of others and copy them, thus "transforming"!

This is not just a simple mask of human skin like many thieves do, but a complete copy from the inside out, including the complete change of irises, fingerprints, DNA and other biological data. In other words, if Riko steals something, it doesn't matter if she leaves fingerprints, hair and blood at the scene, because these can all belong to someone else!

Fang Zheng now understood why Lupin had become such a famous thief. With his ability, even in modern times, it would be impossible to control him with just technology. Magic would be necessary.

If it were decades ago, when technology was antique, then the other party would definitely be able to come and go as they please...

But Flanda is different. As a Level 4 powerful person, her information is recorded in the library of Academy City. If something is left at the scene, people can find a comparison and catch you immediately.

This is no longer the era of solving cases through reasoning.

And at this moment, Riko's voice came again.

"Professor Moriarty, target locked, set off immediately!"

"Okay, okay, you have the final say."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng yawned and stepped on the accelerator.

Then, the sports car sped out.

Fang Zheng had learned from Lizi about the cause and effect of the incident. Not long ago, a Butei High School bus was hijacked by Butei killers. Butei killers did not hijack the bus literally by sending a few big men with guns. Instead, they called the Butei High School students on the bus and told them that a bomb was installed on the bus, and once the speed of the bus slowed down, the bomb would explode.

So now they couldn't stop and could only keep moving forward.

This is hijacked in a sense.

but……

“I feel like this feels so familiar…”

After listening to Riko's story, Fang Zheng instinctively thought of an episode of Detective Conan... If this is the Shinkansen, then the bomb must have been placed on the railroad tracks.

But the school bus...

"It must be on the chassis of the car."

Flanda answered confidently.

"If it were me, I would never put it in the car because it would be easily found. It's also impossible to put it on the roof. The chassis is the best choice. Besides, the car is moving fast now. They can't stop and get under the car to defuse the bomb, right?"

"Why do you think about these things all day long when you have nothing to do?"

Fang Zheng glanced at Flanda unhappily - as a LEVEL 4 powerful person, can't you use your intelligence and talents where it should be used?

"Is there any way to undo it?"

When Riko heard this, she also became worried. She could control her body to turn into a ** or something and attach it to the chassis of the school bus, which was not difficult, but as for defusing a bomb... this was beyond Riko's skill range.

"Of course, it's a piece of cake for me, but let's first see what the bomb looks like... Professor Moriarty, take me over to have a look."

"no problem."

At this moment, the Butei High School had already called the police, and the police quickly cleared the surrounding vehicles. After all, it was the morning rush hour, the time for school and work. If the school bus exploded in a densely populated area, it would not only be the people on the bus who would die. But Fang Zheng also had his own way. Since the school bus was driving randomly according to the instructions of the Butei killer, the police could not completely block it, so Fang Zheng just had to drive a car and follow it not far away.

In fact, after Fang Zheng drove his sports car onto the highway, they soon saw a school bus speeding on the viaduct in the opposite direction.

At this moment, the school bus was speeding on the viaduct, and on its left and right sides, there were three unmanned Ferraris following closely behind. On these three Ferraris, one could even see installed Uzi submachine guns, which were obviously remotely controlled.

"Oh wow, it's actually true!"

Seeing this, Franda widened her eyes in excitement. She had only seen this kind of scene in movies before, and had never experienced it in person!

"There are no police nearby... but that's not surprising."

Fang Zheng took a quick look and found that the police cars dared only follow from a distance. This was normal. After all, the other party could remotely control the bomb, so they must have asked the police not to take action, otherwise it would explode directly. In this case, the police had no other choice but to block the road and follow.

"Okay, don't think about those things. Did you see the bomb? What do you think? Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, Professor Moriarty."

As she spoke, Franda took out a monocular telescope and looked carefully under the school bus. Then she immediately nodded.

"No problem, I can do it!"

"Hmm? What are you going to do? Do you want me to take you there?"

"unnecessary."

Frenda shook her head smugly.

"Professor Moriarty, all you have to do is drive your car in front of that school bus. Leave the rest to me. I will blow it up with a bomb!"

"……Um?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng and Li Zi were stunned.

"Are you an undercover agent sent by the monkey? Which side are you on?"

Using a bomb to blow up a bomb to defuse a bomb... Fang Zheng has never seen such a bizarre bomb disposal method in his previous life or in this life.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine! Trust me!"

Flanda looked very confident. Fang Zheng had nothing to say about this. He could only...

"That makes sense...not right, Lupin, what do you think?"

"Can you really do this? Fran... No, Irene?"

"certainly."

In response to Riko's question, Frenda raised her head triumphantly.

"Who do you think I am? I am a Level 4 powerful person - 'Curved Guidance' Flanda Severon! This is a piece of cake for me!"

That's your spatial ability, not your explosive ability...

Hearing this, Fang Zheng silently complained in his heart.

If it comes to explosive abilities, he would be more confident in Huihui and Louise.

But even without Franda telling him, Fang Zheng had already learned the true nature of her ability. Unlike the stupid researcher in the research institute before, in fact, when Franda used her ability for the first time, Fang Zheng detected the original form of her ability through his personal terminal - that was the Möbius strip.

This is why Franda's ability allows her to collect and release items at will, and why she cannot use the ability on herself.

But no matter what, this has nothing to do with explosions... After all, that's obviously your hobby, right?

"Then let's do as you say! I believe you! As long as you can disarm the bomb, I can retrieve it. Maybe I can find some clues to catch the Butei killer!"

Since Lizi had made the decision, Fang Zheng naturally did not ask any more questions. He turned the steering wheel and rushed through the highway intersection at a super fast speed, and then followed Lizi's instructions to the road outside the viaduct exit. Then, Flanda reached out her hand, touched under her skirt, and took out a few palm-sized rabbit dolls.

Fang Zheng: “……???”

Such a big thing was taken out from under the skirt?

Although Fang Zheng knows that this is Flanda's ability, can't you come up with a better way to express it?

However, before Fang Zheng could say anything else, Flanda just casually threw the dolls out of the car window, and then... closed the window.

"Is that all?"

"It's over."

Flanda smiled and made a V sign to Fang Zheng.

"Don't worry, Professor Moriarty, look at me!"

What else can Fang Zheng say about this?

I can only watch.

Shortly after Fang Zheng drove past the exit of the viaduct, he saw the hijacked school bus also speeding down from the viaduct, and the Ferrari following behind it did not change at all.

But just as the school bus and the Ferrari drove off the highway, suddenly, an unimaginable scene happened.

"boom!!"

The doll that Franda threw into the bushes suddenly exploded, and then the fragments of the explosion flew out and pierced the tire of one of the Ferraris. The Ferrari with a flat tire suddenly lost its direction, slid to the side, and hit another Ferrari heavily. Then, the third Ferrari that was originally hanging behind was also unable to dodge and directly collided with the first two. Then, accompanied by the sound of explosion, the three valuable Ferraris turned into fireballs.

At the same time as the three Ferraris exploded, several other puppets thrown by Franda also exploded suddenly, and then fragments flew everywhere. They hit the tires of the school bus directly, causing the school bus to skid and twist wildly, and then the body of the bus shook violently and stopped in the middle of the highway.

No one saw that at this moment, the bomb on the chassis of the school bus also stopped and began to flash wildly.

In just a few seconds, it was enough to turn the entire school bus into a fireball.

However, at this moment, the last rabbit doll under the bomb suddenly began to expand.

"Bang!!"

The violent airflow impact directly punched a hole in the chassis of the school bus, and then the bomb was seen twisted and deformed and flew into the air. Its signal light began to flash wildly, and it was about to explode. At that moment, a figure fell from the sky, and her long silver-white hair stretched out like an angel's wings, wrapping the bomb that was about to explode.

Strangely enough, the bomb that was about to explode immediately became silent after being wrapped, as if it was completely dead.

At this time, the frightened students in the school bus looked up and saw a petite figure wearing a strange evening gown, a top hat and a cloak, standing on the roof, looking at them with a smile.
