A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1026 Still have competitors?

What is that girl Shokuhou trying to do? Lin Wuming thought to himself, "Does she want to make me feel guilty so that I won't dare to kill her?"

"Ahem," Lin Wuming looked at the girl in front of him and said seriously, "You should go home quickly and be careful."

"That's a statement..." The girl in the tracksuit's eyes lit up. "Is it because there's a case?"

“No,” Lin Wuming shook his head, “it’s just that… there will be a rather intense ‘additional match’.”

As he spoke, Lin Wuming scanned the surrounding environment with his Nen ability—according to Misaki Shokuhou's habits, she should have been nearby when she performed that "possession" operation.

However, this time, Lin Wuming did not find any trace of the girl.

Lin Wuming thought to himself, "What a pity." It seems that Misaki Shokuhou has also taken targeted countermeasures.

Over the years, Lin Wuming has accumulated some experience in dealing with "fans".

Considering the strength Lin Wuming has demonstrated and his current status, his fans are generally rational and reasonable, so they won't be particularly entangled with him.

After signing her sportswear, Lin Wuming dismissed the fan who had unexpectedly intervened.

Then, as planned, they moved to the tenth school district.

Looking up, I saw that the sky was covered with thunderclouds, which accelerated the darkening of the sky, but there was no sign of rain.

It goes without saying that this must be Misaka Mikoto's masterpiece.

—This is bad, that girl is really getting serious!
Because of her straightforward personality, Lin Wuming felt that Misaka Mikoto in her current state was even more difficult to deal with than Shokuhou Misaki.

But then again, which Level 5 superpowered individual is easy to deal with?

Using electromagnetic fields as a medium and lightning strikes as an attack method, Misaka Mikoto has created a battleground perfectly suited to her by summoning thunderclouds.

Moreover, its range is extremely vast—anything covered by thunderclouds belongs to her domain.

Without special measures, Lin Wuming has nowhere to escape in this area.

However, at this moment, Misaka Mikoto's attention was not on Lin Wuming, but on another group of "accomplices".

—The Misaka Sisters, under the command of the extra individual, are preparing to launch a long-range sniping attack on Lin Wuming.

To realize this ultra-long-range, super-specification "electromagnetic cannon," the entire Misaka Network has made efforts and contributions.

The extra chapters further involve sixteen Level 3 power users who have been trained in electroshock therapy, preparing to launch a joint attack.

Such intense electromagnetic fluctuations could not possibly escape Misaka Mikoto's notice. So, it was only natural that she came looking for her.

"What...what are you trying to do?"

Misaka Mikoto also remotely created a "clone" using electromagnetic force and iron sand, mimicking Lin Wuming's "clone," and descended menacingly in front of the Misaka Sisters.

Faced with the sudden arrival of their older sister, the Misaka Sisters maintained their signature poker faces, showing no sign of wavering. As the mastermind behind this operation, the Extra Individual stepped forward without hesitation, confronting Misaka Mikoto.

"We are preparing to launch a long-range electromagnetic railgun attack on the nameless senior! Misaka will speak on behalf of everyone."

"Enough! Stop mimicking your sisters' way of speaking. You clearly don't have that weird verbal tic," Misaka Mikoto retorted. "And why did you attack that nameless senior? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Isn't this the rule you, Misaka Misaki, Touka Tomi, and Shirai Kuroko made together—to duel with the nameless senior?" Misaka asked, feigning surprise.

"What does this have to do with you?!" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but shout when she heard this. The crackling sound of iron filings rubbing together with the electric current was extremely jarring.

—You know, this duel is between an unknown senior and us "official girlfriends." The stakes are directly related to our future lives, so what are you all doing here!
Of course, Misaka Mikoto didn't say these words aloud, because she had already anticipated the other party's reply.

“How can it not concern us? Don’t forget we are also the lovers of the nameless senior!” Misaka Yoshimasa retorted righteously.

"The nameless senior has never acknowledged you, has he?"

"Big sister is too selfish! It's all because you keep such a tight rein on Senior Nameless, and you've never given him a chance to express his opinion, right?" Misaka retorted.

“This…” Misaka Mikoto shook her head vigorously, “No excuses, you’re just causing trouble!”

"Big Sister!" The extra character revealed a hollow yet holy smile, giving the impression of not an ordinary girl, but rather the Virgin Mary or an angel from a religious painting, full of compassion and love.

"Didn't you notice?" The voice of the extra character also changed, as if it had been processed by an effects processor, with countless voices intertwining and overlapping. "At this moment, I am speaking to you on behalf of the 'Misaka Sisters' as a whole. Misaka, so says."

Looking at the extra individual in front of her, and the sixteen mass-produced sisters behind her—through electromagnetic vision, Misaka Mikoto could see that the electromagnetic waves of all of them were very stable, and even showed a faint tendency to converge into one.

It is clear that what the extra individual said is true.

"No way?" Misaka Mikoto murmured, "There are still more than 20,000 opponents?"

Misaka Mikoto then realized that the "we" mentioned by the extra individual earlier did not refer to her and Kazakiri Hyouka, but to the 20,000 Misaka Sisters she represented!
The "clone" made of iron sand suddenly collapsed, and Misaka Mikoto herself came to the rooftop, where what she saw with her own eyes further confirmed her earlier judgment.

"..." Misaka Mikoto was unable to speak for a long time due to the intense turmoil caused by her complicated feelings.

Affected by the emotional fluctuations, the attack that had been locked onto Lin Wuming and was poised to strike was quietly dissipated—the thunderclouds that had been shrouding the city were gradually dissipating.

“Big sister,” the extra individual looked at her, “you must know that we are now on the same side and have a common goal—to defeat the nameless senior!” Misaka advised.

"That kind of thing doesn't need you..."

"Don't be too selfish, Onee-sama. Misaka is reminding Onee-sama, there are 20,001 people here."

"This is too much! You're bullying me..." Misaka Mikoto felt very wronged—why is it always her who has to encounter these inexplicable and troublesome things?

Misaka Mikoto's feelings at this moment were very complicated... no, strictly speaking, it was impossible to describe them with the word "feelings". She felt that her mind was in chaos, with countless thoughts and ideas tangled together.

One's own emotions, desires, and the difficulties of reality are intertwined, creating numerous contradictions that leave one at a loss.
