A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1094 Potential Changes
"Fuse Wind Cutter" is finally completed, but it took nearly four days longer than originally expected.

Because Kazakiri Hyouka was required to maintain self-awareness while ensuring the safety of the final signal and the Misaka Sisters themselves, and to avoid any side effects—it's not surprising that the experiment didn't go smoothly under these preconditions.

Although it only took five days in reality, the entire experiment involved the power of three Level 5s and the entire Misaka Network, as well as the full cooperation of Chairman Aleister—such a configuration was quite exaggerated.

Success is a given; it's just a matter of time.

"It's good that it's successful," Lin Wuming said. "It can be used for events that happen later."

Misaki Shokuhou nodded, then her expression suddenly turned serious as she asked earnestly, "Nameless Senpai, are you... pursuing death?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Lin Wuming looked surprised.

Misaki Shokuhou pointed to her eyes: "Because I saw it with my own eyes, Nameless-senpai, you seem to be getting more and more proactive lately."

As a transmigrator who has strayed into the storyline, Lin Wuming seems to have accepted reality and is becoming increasingly proactive in getting involved in the original plot; he has even taken over many events that should have belonged to the true protagonist, Kamijou Touma.

This made Misaki Shokuhou see signs of danger and feel increasingly uneasy.

It's important to know that initially, her and Lin Wuming's plan was to live a low-key life, stay away from the main storyline of the original work, and be ordinary students and citizens until world peace...

Even if one focuses on improving their strength, the initial intention is still to gain the means to live a stable life in this world.

Lin Wuming wanted to survive the future Third World War and the subsequent Demon God's World Destruction Crisis, so he wanted to raise his strength to the corresponding level; but that didn't mean he would personally rush to the front line to deal with those events.

“I…that’s what I used to think.” Lin Wuming nodded, a look of reminiscence on his face.

Although only two years have passed, looking back now feels like a lifetime ago.

This is not an exaggerated rhetorical device, but a fact, because "bullet time"—Lin Wuming himself could not calculate how long he spent in his own subjective time.

It can only be said that time changes many things, and plans can't keep up with changes; along the way, there are many things that Lin Wuming cannot change or fight against.

“Nameless senior…” Silence was meaningless to Misaki Shokuhou. “I admit that the power of change is inevitable, but—the current nameless senior has gone too far!”

Misaki Shokuhou looked serious. In her opinion, Lin Wuming seemed to be showing signs of wanting to take on everything himself.

This is bad; the risks are too great, and the situation is completely out of control, far exceeding their initial plans...

—Therefore, we must remind the nameless senior before things get completely out of control!
Even so, Misaki Shokuhou felt it was too late.

“I admit, Shokuhou, you’re right. However…” Lin Wuming frowned and thought for a moment, “We also agreed that the original plot is only for reference and we can’t rely on it too much.”

“That’s right.” Misaki Shokuhou nodded.

“But I think it’s more reassuring to have your own destiny in your own hands,” Lin Wuming said. “Therefore, taking appropriate initiative is also necessary.”

"Huh?" Misaki Shokuhou tilted her head and drawled, "Is this the arrogance of the strong? Ever since becoming a Level 5, Mumei-senpai has become increasingly arrogant. She can't trust anyone else anymore."

“You’re right, Shokuhou,” Lin Wuming admitted directly. “Besides you, I really can’t completely trust anyone else. It concerns our lives and future, and only by doing this can I feel at ease.” “Our future…” Shokuhou Misaki raised her hand to cover the corners of her mouth, then shook her head and sighed, “Actually, I haven’t gained your complete trust either, Senpai. I’m not good at fighting, so when it comes to fighting, Senpai trusts others more, right?”

"If you put it that way, you're not wrong..."

"Reject it right now!" Misaki Shokuhou retorted.

Lin Wuming simply smiled.

Lies are meaningless in front of Misaki Shokuhou, so Lin Wuming never hides anything from her.

Misaki Shokuhou sighed again in her heart—it was because of this that she felt inexplicably guilty towards the nameless senior, to the point that she had no choice but to tacitly acknowledge his ambition for the Crystal Palace.

Now I rarely even have the chance to be alone with an unknown senior.

To prepare for this time alone, Misaki Shokuhou went to great lengths to get Tomi and Kuroko Shirai away.

In the end, after meeting the nameless senior, they ended up talking about the same inexplicable topics!

—Love, oh love! What I want is love! I don't need it to be super romantic, but at least it has to be a normal relationship!
However, when facing Lin Wuming, Misaki Shokuhou would always steer the conversation towards topics such as plot discussions and plans for dealing with major future events.

Because she can read Lin Wuming's mind, Misaki Shokuhou can't be as willful or unreasonable as other girls; she can only force herself to remain calm and rational.

"Shokuhou, what's wrong?" Lin Wuming's voice startled the girl. "What are you thinking about? Is there some other trouble?"

"No, Nameless Senior." The girl looked up and smiled sweetly. "I'm just praying that these troublesome events will pass as soon as possible."

"Yes, that's what I'm looking forward to too," Lin Wuming said with emotion.

—Having traveled through time, I also long for a leisurely and enjoyable life.

“I also look forward to that future, Nameless-senpai.” Misaki Shokuhou stepped forward and reached out to touch the medical pod, as if she wanted to caress Lin Wuming’s face through the glass.

“Don’t worry,” Lin Wuming also raised his hand and pressed it against the inside of the glass. “My injuries are troublesome, but not serious—they are all within the scope of this medical pod’s capabilities, according to the diagnosis…”

Lin Wuming glanced at a small screen at the edge of his field of vision, then continued, "It will take less than forty-eight hours to fully recover."

“Forty-eight hours…” Misaki Shokuhou sighed, “We’re going to miss the closing ceremony.”

The Daihasei Festival is still in full swing, but the closing ceremony will be held at this time tomorrow.

Tomorrow night, there will be a grand celebration, including a fireworks display and a carnival parade; for a more upscale event, there will also be various dances...

If it weren't for the series of unforeseen events that followed, Misaki Shokuhou had originally planned to hold a joint dance between the two schools. Unfortunately…
