A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1163 Come and Help, Lin Wuming
"You've been really busy today, Lin Wuming." Accelerator, who had finally managed to corner Lin Wuming, couldn't help but sigh. "I need your help with something."

Lin Wuming was somewhat surprised that Accelerator was asking him for help? This was a very rare occurrence.

However, he quickly guessed the reason: "Is it for the final signal?"

“That’s right.” Accelerator nodded.

Indeed, apart from the final signal, it seems there is nothing else that could make Accelerator so concerned, even to the point of actively seeking help from others.

I remember that Accelerator chose to go to Siberia to participate in the battle in order to find a way to save the Final Signal.

"Have you found a way to treat the final signal?" Lin Wuming asked curiously.

To be honest, Lin Wuming had systematically studied magic, and even received personal guidance from Aleister; it's just a pity that his talent in "magic" was really not that great, and in the end he couldn't achieve anything other than "suicide".

However, just as amazing as he is in the original work, Accelerator, through battles with magicians and angels and information on a parchment, somehow managed to create his own "magic" without any formal instruction.

It can only be said that this first-place genius truly deserves the title.

In the past few days, the signal has improved a lot. On the surface, it looks no different from usual, and it seems that there is no problem without treatment.

But the hidden dangers still exist. We didn't know about them before, but now that we do, we certainly can't let them continue to go unchecked.

“I’m planning to conduct treatment tonight,” Accelerator said. “I hope you and your lovers can be there to support me.”

"We'll go." With no reason to refuse, Lin Wuming readily agreed, then asked, "But what exactly do you need us to do to provide support?"

“Nothing needs to be done,” Accelerator shook his head. “Just have yourselves there, just in case.”

When it came to the Final Signal, Accelerator was extremely cautious, striving for absolute certainty. Besides himself, Accelerator trusted only Lin Wuming and the others to unconditionally protect the Final Signal, so naturally, he had to call them all in.

"And..." Accelerator added, "You are the ones who truly saved the Misaka Sisters, and you should have been there too."

“We should be thanking you for this,” Lin Wuming said, while notifying the others via email, “We’ll be there on time tonight.”

When school was over, Accelerator left early to prepare for his "treatment" that evening.

Lin Wuming also planned to leave with him, but was stopped by the extra individual.

The extra chapter describes how Lin Wuming's motives for transferring to a certain high school were impure. Some time ago, she was forced to be hospitalized due to an attack by the wind from the front. After recovering and being discharged from the hospital, Lin Wuming did not come to school for various reasons.

Since she no longer had a primary purpose for coming to school, the extra character naturally chose to skip class. She was already a "delinquent" in the Misaka group, and now it was even more reasonable for her to become a delinquent.

However, since Lin Wuming attended school as usual today, she also came to school.

After school, he grabbed Lin Wuming's arm and used electromagnetic force to hold the wheelchair in place, preventing him from leaving with Accelerator.

"Stop fooling around. We'll be treating the final signal later, and you've already received the news," Lin Wuming said. "We can go together."

“Nameless, you really don’t understand romance at all.” The extra character shook his head. “Don’t worry, the real treatment time is at midnight, there’s still plenty of time.”

"so late?"

"It's magic after all, it requires observing celestial phenomena and lunar phases, so it seems to have specific time requirements." The extra individual shrugged. "So there's plenty of time, let's go now!" "Don't worry, I'm just a guide, the one who really wants to find you is..." The extra individual said as he pushed the wheelchair towards the school gate, "Ah, they're here!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, "Mama Meiling, I brought Wuming!"

Waiting outside the school gate was Misaka Misuzu—Lin Wuming couldn't refuse this invitation.

Misaka Misuzu bought a car and was driving it to pick them up.

The carriage was filled with the sweet smell of cream. Misaka Misuzu handed over a small piece of cake: "Try it."

Lin Wuming took it: "It tastes very good. Auntie, did you really open a cake shop?"

"It's a bakery; they make bread and steamed buns too." Misaka Misuzu started the car. "Come on, let me take you to the shop."

While driving, Misaka Misuzu introduced her bakery.

“…It was originally a fully equipped bakery, but because of its remote location and the fact that it was surrounded by delinquents, the original owner had always wanted to sell it,” Misaka Misuzu said. “But that’s not a problem for us, since it’s a shop specifically for the sisters and we don’t plan to serve other customers.”

The Misaka Sisters are normal girls too, and it's perfectly normal for them to like sweets.

However, their special status and large numbers have brought considerable inconvenience.

If you find a cake you like, you have to draw lots to select someone to buy it, and the quantity is very limited, which is far from enough to satisfy everyone.

Although all Misaka Sisters can share memories, including the taste of the cake, through the "Misaka Network," for normal humans, the perfect enjoyment still comes from personally tasting it.

Misaka Misuzu adored her suddenly appearing daughters. To solve this problem and provide all her sisters with plenty of cakes and desserts, she decided to open her own bakery.

“…Of course I can’t handle it all by myself, but luckily we never lack helpers,” Misaka Misuzu continued.

Providing desserts for 10,000 people is no small feat. Even if some of the Misaka Sisters occasionally don't want cake, they will choose other desserts.

So Misaka Sisters have been taking turns helping out at the store, which in a sense can be considered "self-production and self-sales".

As mentioned at yesterday's gathering, both Hufeng Tomi and Shirai Kuroko had helped out at the store.

"I've heard that you're a great cook, so I'm counting on you today!"

Misaka Misuzu finally revealed her purpose: she had come specifically to recruit Lin Wuming to help out at the shop.

Lin Wuming asked, "Was it Misaki Shokuhou's suggestion?"

Misaka Misuzu paused for a moment: "Shokuhou-san? She did mention that you're good at cooking, but Mikoto mentioned it too, and so did Tora-chan who came to help the other day—all the girls around you say so, so... But Shokuhou-san did mention asking you to come help out at the shop."

Among the girls, only Misaki Shokuhou has negative practical skills and can't help in the kitchen, so Junko Hokaze has to help while she chats and provides emotional support.

Looking back now, Misaka Misuzu thinks that Shokuhou Misaki emphasized Lin Wuming's cooking skills to cover up her own embarrassment.
