This time, Fang Li noticed Shirayuki Hoshigami's gaze.

Moreover, Fang Li sensed an unusual seriousness in Shirayuki Hoshigami's gaze.

This puzzled Fang Li.

What exactly is wrong with this child?

He was so overly serious before, and now he's become so mysterious. How am I supposed to react?

Compared to Shirayuki Hoshigami, Mumei's willfulness and Alisa's aloofness are much easier to deal with.

At least, Fang Li, Fang Li the personalities of the two girls, knew how to deal with them.

But Fang Li was truly confused about Shirayuki Hoshigami.

This made Fang Li realize something.

That is, the reason why I was able to do relatively well in the Instance World in the past was largely due to my understanding of the original work.

Even in the previous world, Fang Li entered a timeline a year before the original story, before the plot had unfolded. However, his familiarity with the characters and the world allowed Fang Li to find ways to cope to a large extent, rather than being completely confused like he is now.

"Won't the same thing happen again in the future?"

After all, Fang Li will have to travel between different Instance World in the future, and he will inevitably encounter situations like this one, entering worlds that are somewhat unfamiliar to him.

"Therefore, we can't always rely on the advantage of being prescient; we need to cultivate our ability to respond to unexpected situations."

From this perspective, Fang Li's entry into the Armed Detective High School might also be something to be thankful for.

Because, in response to the increasingly serious and escalating criminal incidents, what the armed police need to cultivate most is this kind of emergency response capability.

In addition to these, all sorts of other abilities need to be developed.

This was a timely help for Fang Li.

Having realized this Fang Li decided to stop waiting and instead take the initiative.

"Um, Hoshiga-san is Miko, right?" Fang Li looked at Shirayuki Hoshigami and asked tentatively, "If you're Miko, why would you want to become a military detective?"

This time, it wasn't Shirayuki Hoshigami who answered Fang Li's question, but Kinji Touyama.

"The Miko of St. Gala Shrine are quite different from Miko of ordinary shrines." Kinji Touyama glanced at Shirayuki Hoshigami, lowered his voice, and said to Fang Li in a somewhat furtive tone, "The Miko of St. Gala Shrine are armed Miko. It is said that the Miko there can use a superpower called Kido Art."

"Superpowers?" Fang Li looked at Shirayuki Hoshigami in surprise and asked, "Do you know how to use superpowers?"

"It's not such an amazing ability." Shirayuki Hoshigami quickly shook her head and waved her hands, saying somewhat reservedly, "I am still a cultivator, and one of the reasons I came to the Armed Detective High School is to improve my abilities."

This is not just something I said casually.

Superpowers do exist in this world.

Moreover, this is no longer a secret.

At least in the world of Armed Detective Agency, superpowers are already common knowledge.

For example, Armed Detective High School has a special department that trains armed detectives who can use superpowers.

Superpower Investigation Research Department.

Collectively referred to as S-Lab.

This discipline has a wide variety of students who know how to use powers that transcend human cognition.

For example, magical powers are also part of the training in this discipline.

Besides the Armed Detective High School, other countries also have various facilities for researching superpowers.

Detectives who can use superpowers are called Super Detective.

Since Shirayuki Hoshigami is able to use superpowers and applied to the Armed Detective High School, it's only natural that she would join the S-Lab Institute.

"Miko who can use superpowers?" Fang Li asked Shirayuki Hoshigami, half inquiring and half out of curiosity.

"Xingjia, could you show me a little bit?"

"Exhibit... exhibit?" Shirayuki Hoshigami was a little confused.

"I think you'd better not look," Kinji Touyama said, still looking like he wanted to avoid it at all costs. "That's a completely different world from ours. If you go too deep into it, you'll definitely become abnormal."

"Please." Fang Li Kinji Touyama with an annoyance, "You're already in this school, do you really expect your life to be normal from now on?"

Kinji Touyama was immediately speechless.

"Of course, I was just a little curious." Fang Li's tone shifted slightly as he turned to Shirayuki Hoshigami and said, "If there's anything inconvenient about it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"...No, that's not it." Shirayuki Hoshigami hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have made a decision and said, "In that case, I will perform divination for you."

"Divination?" Fang Li was taken aback.

"It means divination," Shirayuki Hoshigami explained. "The Kido Art of St. Gala Shrine are not suitable for use in public, but it should be fine for divination."

With that, Shirayuki Hoshigami sat down directly on the spot.

"Hey!" Kinji Touyama panicked immediately.

That's only natural.

This is the entrance to the Armed Detective High School.

It would definitely be an eye-catching thing if a beautiful girl like Shirayuki Hoshigami suddenly sat down at the school gate.

Putting everything else aside, the students from the Armed Detective High School around them were already looking over with some surprise.

Under such circumstances, how could Kinji Touyama not panic?

On the contrary, Shirayuki Hoshigami herself did not pay any attention to the situation around her. Her Yuiyui appearance just now had completely disappeared, replaced by a serious and solemn demeanor like that of a priest.

Immediately, Shirayuki Hoshigami said to Fang Li in a serious tone, "Please sit down."

"Okay." Fang Li nodded without any hesitation and sat down in front of Shirayuki Hoshigami.

Now, it's impossible for them not to attract attention.

What are those two doing?

"A freshman?"

"That girl is quite cute."

"And who is that boy?"

The students around them began to whisper among themselves, stopped in their tracks, and started to gather in a crowd.

Meanwhile, Kinji Touyama had already sneaked away.

And so, Fang Li and Shirayuki Hoshigami sat facing each other at the school gate in front of the entire student body, ignoring everyone else.

Immediately, Shirayuki Hoshigami took out a deck of cards.

"This is Shrine Maiden Fortune Cards. The Miko of St. Gala Shrine use these cards as a medium to perform divination magic."

Shirayuki Hoshigami seemed to have completely changed, exuding a sense of holiness, like a dignified Saintess, devoutly arranging the cards in her hand into a star array.

"So, what would you like to have divined?"
