Since Aria was so direct, Fang Zheng's answer was of course straightforward.
"I refuse."
What I like most is to say NO to those self-righteous people!
"Why?!"
Faced with Fang Zheng's straightforward answer, Aria was dumbfounded.
"I'm a researcher, not a detective, and I have no interest in playing detective games. Also, when you ask someone for something, at least make it look like you're asking."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head. Although Aria's voice sounded similar to the few people Fang Zheng had met before, this character was even worse.
Although Shana is a little bit arrogant, she is still willing to put on a good face when it’s time to be obedient.
Minase Iori is also a young lady, but idols are a service industry. If they can't even smile, they would have been kicked out and went home long ago.
Louise was a little arrogant, but considering her past, it was understandable, and she wasn't always so rude to others.
But this Aria in front of me is really... too rude.
Is that the tone you use to beg someone?
"you……"
"What are you talking about? You can't even speak and you want help from others? Don't dream. I have no interest in you. And I have no interest in playing detective games either."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting Aria's angry look.
"Shirai, take this guy away, I'm still busy."
"OK."
Shirai Kuroko nodded helplessly. She didn't know what to say. To be honest, Aria's attitude just now made her feel uncomfortable. Although Shirai Kuroko was a pure pervert in front of Misaka Mikoto, she was still very polite in front of other people. After all, Tokiwadai is full of young ladies. People who don't even know manners can't get in.
But Aria was too rude in Shirai Kuroko's opinion. When someone gives you advice, you should at least say thank you. But he kept saying "you, you, you", not to mention how old you are. Is it right to talk to an adult like this? At least use the respectful title of "sir".
It is normal to make people angry with such disrespectful attitude.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Aria couldn't hold back her expression, stamped her feet angrily, and turned to leave. Kuroko also hurriedly said goodbye to him and chased after him.
"You're really stupid. How can you become an A-rank Butei?"
Only after Aria left did Fang Zheng shrug his shoulders, then looked at Frenda and Riko who were acting like good kids, while Riko smiled slightly.
"So she is the defective one."
"Defective?"
"That's right, Mr. Fang Zheng, you should also know the story of Sherlock Holmes. Then you should also know that Sherlock Holmes is not a single person, right?"
"You mean Watson?"
"That's right."
Riko giggled and snapped her fingers.
"Every generation in the Holmes family has such a 'partner', but Aria doesn't, so she has always been regarded as a defective product in the family. To be honest, I didn't expect that she would actually want you, Mr. Fang Zheng, to be her partner. It really shocked me. I thought you would agree."
"I have no interest in this self-conscious little brat."
Fang Zheng snorted. Although Aria's past might be worthy of sympathy, so what? Louise was much worse off than Aria. After all, Aria was still an A-rank martial arts detective, while Louise had always been zero. That was it. Louise had not been twisted and deformed to this extent.
"Really?"
However, what Fang Zheng did not expect was that at this moment, Lizi came over with a smile and stuck to Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, why don't you teach her a lesson? It would be great to turn a disobedient puppy into a loyal hound."
"Have you been playing any indescribable games recently?"
Fang Zheng glanced at Li Zi. He knew that Li Zi's favorite games were those for beautiful girls, and they were all for adults...
"Isn't it good? Even though Aria has no breasts and no butt, at least it's acceptable."
"Not interested."
Fang Zheng shook his head. If he was willing to educate someone like Shana, then Fang Zheng had no interest in someone like Aria. Especially after the conversation just now, Fang Zheng said that he would find a chance to remove the No. 312 substance from Aria's body when she left Academy City, and he was too lazy to care about other things.
"So who are you interested in, Mr. Fang Zheng? Flanda?"
"Wait, what does this have to do with me?"
Flanda jumped up when she heard her name.
"Riko, are you going to sell me out?!"
"Isn't it good? Don't you like Mr. Fang Zheng very much?"
"Although I like it, but...how should I put it...the result is that in a word...that..."
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng also raised his head, looked at Flanda carefully, and nodded.
"Well, Flanda is indeed very cute, much cuter than that little girl just now."
“Hey? Hey hey!!”
Hearing this, Franda's face suddenly turned red, while Fang Zheng laughed, stood up and walked to Franda, then pressed the wall behind her and slowly approached.
"Mr. Fang Zheng...?!"
"How about it, lovely lady, would you like to spend a wonderful evening with me?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out his hand and gently lifted Flanda's chin. Flanda was already dizzy at this moment. Seeing this, Riko curled her lips.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what era are these lines from? They are no longer popular."
"So what do you think we should say?"
"Hehehe, cute little sister, don't scream. No one will come to save you if you scream. Come and have fun with us..."
"ah--!"
Hearing this, Flanda screamed, turned around and rushed out the door, while Fang Zheng straightened up and stared at Riko silently.
"After you go back, delete all the games on your hard drive!"
"Hey? That was bought for me by Mai Lu!"
“…”
Well, we found the culprit!
The work day is over.
Fang Zheng had already learned from Shirai Kuroko that Aria had left Academy City, so he could take action against Aria. In fact, Fang Zheng had already told Riko to prepare for the next move, and then he would go out in person to try to resolve the matter in the shortest possible time.
I just don't know how many of the 312 substance there are... Fang Zheng also found time to visit the short-haired girl named Rei before, but he found out helplessly that Rei herself did not have the 312 substance. She just had come into contact with that thing and was therefore contaminated with the aura of the goddess's power.
This will make it difficult to find it, after all, the "Volume of Confessions" cannot investigate things related to the goddess's divine power... Well, maybe I should really consider Riko's suggestion and try imprisonment and torture?
It feels like something is not right...
While thinking, Fang Zheng bought a bottle of drink from the vending machine. However, just as he opened the drink and was about to drink it, suddenly, a discipline committee member came over.
"Excuse me, sir, is this bag yours?"
"Bag?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the bag in the discipline committee member's hand. It was a very ordinary black leather bag and didn't seem to be anything special.
"Yes, this bag was just placed near the shelf in the supermarket. It is very likely that it was lost by a customer... Is this your bag? Or do you know who this bag belongs to?"
"Well... it's not mine, and I didn't notice it."
"Really? Sorry to bother you."
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the discipline committee member bowed and went to ask other guests. However, at this moment, suddenly... Fang Zheng felt a strange aura.
He could feel that the space inside the briefcase began to twist and change, and was accelerating rapidly!
"Hello."
Fang Zheng turned around and hurriedly called out to the discipline committee member. However, at this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded from not far away.
"Get away from that bag, it's a bomb!"
"Why?"
Faced with this sudden reminder, the discipline committee member was also startled and instinctively threw away the briefcase in his hand. However, his action would not bring any changes to everything. Soon, Fang Zheng saw that the briefcase suddenly compressed and deformed as if it was absorbed by something. At the same time, a figure appeared in front of the discipline committee member. She raised her hand, and it seemed that she wanted to stop what was about to happen.
But at this moment, Fang Zheng grabbed the man's shoulder.
"Okay, let me do it."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng extended his hand.
The next moment, the briefcase that was about to explode suddenly stopped, and then the whole process twisted and deformed again. Fang Zheng stared at the briefcase and snorted coldly.
At the same time, the leather bag that was about to explode quickly returned to its original shape and fell to the ground.
"Okay, done."
Seeing the bag restored to its original state, Fang Zheng clapped his hands and looked to the side. Only then did he realize that the person standing there was a girl who looked about the same age as Misaka Mikoto and the others. She had long amber hair and golden green and purple eyes. She looked quite pretty, but...
Is there such a person in Academy City?
Judging from her looks, this girl should obviously be a "protagonist", but Fang Zheng thought carefully about the animations he had watched, such as Toaru Majutsu no Index and Choden, and there didn't seem to be such a person in them?
Fang was thinking about this question, and the girl was also staring at him with wide eyes in surprise. She certainly knew what the scene just now meant, but because of this, the girl was extremely shocked by it. Because it simply violated the common sense of this world and completely surpassed the changes in the dimension!
"Umihara-san!"
At this time, another familiar voice sounded. Fang Zheng turned his head and saw Shirai Kuroko appear out of nowhere, then looked at the girl.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
The girl shook her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"It was this gentleman who prevented the explosion..."
"Mr. Fang Zheng?"
At this moment, Shirai Kuroko also saw Fang Zheng and was stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
"Buy a bottle of drink."
Fang Zheng shook the drink bottle in his hand, then looked at the briefcase.
"So this is the void explosion incident you've been investigating recently?"
"Yeah...lucky you're here...no explosion?"
"I reversed the process. Now you go look around and you should be able to find the criminal."
"I see. What are the characteristics of the criminal?"
"The one who fainted is him. After all, I forcibly stopped the use of his ability. He should have fainted directly due to the backlash of his ability."
“Haha…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's indifferent answer, Shirai Kuroko sighed helplessly.
"I really hope you can be gentler, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"Should we be gentler on people who try to carry out terrorist attacks in public?"
"I'll go right away."
At this moment, Shirai Kuroko no longer argued with Fang Zheng about this issue, and hurriedly called the other two discipline committee members, and then hurriedly left the supermarket. Since the other party used his ability nearby, it should be easier to find him.
Watching Shirai Kuroko leave the supermarket, Fang Zheng took a sip of his drink. At this time, the girl also bowed to him respectfully.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir."
"No, I'm just doing this for fun... huh?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
From the outside, the girl in front of him was just a very beautiful girl. But Fang Zheng could see a completely different soul in this body, and the radiance that connected it - this radiance he had only seen in one other person.
That is Shajo Aika.
Come to think of it, the Yoji family in the Type-Moon world once wanted to use the fusion of yin and yang, the absolute unity of men and women to create an existence that connects the roots - I didn't expect to see the results of their theory in this world, which is really surprising.
This is really interesting.
At this time, Shirai Kuroko also came back.
"We've found him. Luckily, he just fainted due to the backlash of his ability..."
"Are you sure it's the criminal?"
"Confirmed."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, Shirai Kuroko nodded.
"We found an aluminum spoon and a can in his bag, as well as a dug-up doll. He was caught red-handed. He definitely won't be able to escape this time!"
Having said this, Shirai Kuroko looked at the girl.
"But Kaihara-san, you really gave me a scare by running out like this."
"Do you know each other?"
Hearing Shirai Kuroko talking to the girl, Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously, and Shirai Kuroko nodded, then coughed and began to introduce them.
"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Kaihara Kyono. She is a classmate of my sister and me."
