A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1121 Busy Misaka Misuzu

"It's only been half a month, it's not that long, is it?" Ellie said softly, her face as expressionless as ever, but her eyes held a hint of anger.

"Also, I waited here all afternoon, and even skipped class for it." She was already in the mood to complain and grumble.

Although Ellie was often bullied in the past, she was usually a well-behaved student who followed the rules and would not be absent without a reason.

But today...

"Anyway, your teacher won't say much, right?" Misaki Shokuhou retorted nonchalantly. "Excellent students can receive special treatment—you should already know that, right?"

Ellie nodded. Ever since her true ability level was revealed and the school learned that she was a Level 4 power user, her school life had taken a complete 180-degree turn.

Let alone being bullied, even if Ellie were to bully others now, the school would simply turn a blind eye.

Her living conditions have changed dramatically. The classmates who used to bully her have never approached her again, and the corridor outside the apartment has no longer been vandalized with graffiti.

However, Ellie was not particularly happy about this. In her view, the improvement in her living conditions only proved once again the fickle nature of the people around her.

This also means that if any special event occurs again, it is not impossible for people's attitude towards her to change back.

"Tsk, what a negative girl..." Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but roll her eyes.

“Sorry, I’m not a real Level 5,” Ellie said, looking at her, “so I can’t look at the world with the same calm and optimism as Shokuhou-senpai.”

With another soft sigh, Misaki Shokuhou raised her hand: "Alright, I'm not here to discuss this topic with you."

“I know,” Ellie nodded.

"So, Ellie, do you still remember the promise we made to each other back then?"

“It hasn’t been long, my memory is fine,” Ellie said. “What do you need me to do?”

“It’s the same thing as last time,” Misaki Shokuhou said. “Use your ability on the nameless senior—'Reflection of Thoughts'.”

"I'm no longer an assassin," Ellie said softly, glancing up at them.

“I know, that’s why I’m asking for your help in a personal capacity.”

"...Besides, I can't kill Senior Lin Wuming either; I already tried last time."

“Of course, that’s why I came looking for you—because you’re unkillable,” Misaki Shokuhou said.

"So you didn't want to kill Lin Wuming?"

"How could I possibly harm Senior Nameless? This is to help him improve his strength!" Misaki Shokuhou emphasized. "It's part of his training!"

"Strange cultivation method..." Ellie muttered to herself, then asked, "So what exactly do I need to do?"

"Perhaps... you need to die."

Ellie remained unmoved, as if Misaki Shokuhou were merely discussing today's dinner menu.

"My abilities have limited effect on Senior Lin Wuming. Even if I were to die, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything to him..."

“I will help you; your ability will definitely work,” Misaki Shokuhou said. “Now, all we need to consider is finding a suitable way to die.”

“A suitable way to die…” Ellie laughed self-deprecatingly, “I can’t even kill myself…” “Don’t worry, we can plan slowly,” Misaki Shokuhou said with a smile, “A death that is realistic enough, but in which no one else will die.”

Lin Wuming knew that Misaki Shokuhou was trying to improve her abilities, and that she had approached the retired legendary assassin, Ellie.

However, Lin Wuming was not optimistic about this plan. He had fought with Ellie before and knew what her "longing projection" was all about.

Ellie, a professional "assassin," can indeed kill her targets using "death impressions" from her memories. However, the "deaths" in her memories are ultimately fake—because she has never truly died.

This is only natural, since human life is only once, which theoretically makes it impossible for so-called "real death memories" to exist.

Ellie's "memory projection" couldn't actually kill anyone; it was more like an illusion or a trick to deceive the victim's brain—making them believe they were dead.

For anyone else, this level of deception would be more than enough to warrant murder.

However, this attack posed no threat to Lin Wuming, who had mastered "bullet time".

It can only be said that it was a bit better than Kihara Kagura's near-death experience.

Although he held no hope, Lin Wuming did not stop Misaki Shokuhou and Ellie's research.

Anyway, there's no better way right now, so maybe there will be some unexpected surprises? Look at how confident Misaki Shokuhou is.

However, before Lin Wuming could receive the research results from Misaki Shokuhou, he received an invitation from Aleister.

After so many things had happened, Chairman Aleister finally called Lin Wuming over again, and the two met directly.

Just then, as if it were a timed update, Misaka Misuzu found Lin Wuming carrying large and small bags.

“Nameless classmate, today I want to meet Final Signal—that elementary school-aged Misaka Sister.” Misaka Misuzu’s eyes shone with anticipation.

Ultimately, Signal has no fixed address. Being lively and active by nature, she wanders between various "Misaka Houses" and occasionally stays in the girls' dormitory on the Family Side.

But recently, she has been spending more and more time with Accelerator.

Especially during the "Fuse. Wind Slash" evolution experiment, Accelerator was so vigilant that he stayed by the side of the enemy to protect the final signal.

Therefore, at this point, the final signal will most likely still be aligned with the other party's.

Because there were other people besides the Misaka Sisters, Misaka Misuzu felt more at ease asking Lin Wuming to go with her.

“I’m sorry I can’t go with you. I have other things to do right now…” Lin Wuming said. “Accelerator is a good person, so don’t worry too much.”

"Eh! I'll go by myself?" Misaka Misuzu was a little surprised, but this was the first time Lin Wuming had explicitly refused, so he must have something to do, and it wouldn't be good to force him to stay.

Misaka Misuzu didn't hesitate for long and quickly headed towards her destination.

After spending the last few days with them, Misaka Misuzu found that the younger sisters all had very good personalities and were very polite, and she got along very well with them.

I'm sure this mini version of Misaka will be adorable too.

As for Accelerator, his willingness to protect the final signal means he's definitely a good person, just like Lin Wuming.

"So there's nothing to worry about," Misaka Misuzu encouraged herself. "It's just a regular visit."
