A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 2: Urban Martial Arts? Academy City!
"How's the child doing?"

Outside the hospital's emergency room, a long-haired woman in a navy blue uniform—security guard Aiho Yoizumikawa—asked in a low voice.

Beside her were two other guards in the same uniform, and two doctors in white coats.

"The fractures in the hands and feet are quite severe, and the internal organs are ruptured to varying degrees, but not seriously. Apart from that, everything is normal," commented the male doctor.

"everything is normal?"

"Considering he fell from more than forty floors, it's a good thing he only sustained this level of injury," the doctor shrugged. "It's simply a miracle."

"Could it be because of that child's help?" one of the male guards said, "After all, he's the first among the Level 5s. His abilities should be able to..."

"It wasn't him," the doctor shook his head. "If he had done it, the child wouldn't have been injured at all. However, he was able to intervene in the subsequent treatment of the injury. Thanks to him, the child showed no symptoms of blood loss at all."

The female guard lamented, "But that Level 5 has a bad personality. He's completely refusing to cooperate with our investigation. It's such a headache..."

"After all, they're level 5s, so it's normal for them to have some personality. In this city, they naturally have all kinds of privileges..." Yomikawa Aiho said, "I'll find a way."

"As expected of Senior Huang Quanchuan, he's truly reliable!"

Through the one-way glass, you can see the scene in the ward. The boy who had a "fall accident" not long ago is receiving treatment in the ward.

"Have you found out his identity?" Aiho Yomikawa asked again.

The two guards under her command looked at each other and uttered a word: "The group that removes the coarse and retains the fine..."

"Really..." Yomikawa Aiho sighed deeply, "I guess so... an abandoned child."

"The plans in the 'library' are almost completely blank," the female guard said. "Even the name is blank..."

"blank?"

"Yes, the registered surname is Xiaolin, and the first name is blank," the female guard said. "According to the notes, the child's nickname in the orphanage is Xiaolin Nana..."

"Nana? A girl?" Aiho Yomikawa asked in confusion.

"No," the female guard shook her head. "It means the number seven—he's the seventh nameless abandoned child taken in by the orphanage. And his last name comes from the fact that the cardboard box that contained the baby had the words 'Xiaolin Fruit Industry' written on it..."

"It's really... casual!" said Aiho Yomikawa.

"According to the notes," the female guard continued, "the director of the orphanage planned to wait until they grew up before deciding on their names, so they left the names blank during the registration process..."

"What about the orphanage?"

“It closed down a year ago due to poor management.”

"He was caught up in some illegal experiment, wasn't he?" the male guard speculated. "He ran into a corner while trying to escape today and was knocked off a building—there's evidence of a severe blow to the back of his head."

"That building..." Yomikawa Aiho asked with a frown.

"We've checked. It's just an ordinary office building. Everything is normal—" the female security guard said. "At least on the surface, we can't find any flaws."

"It seems like we can only ask this unfortunate yet lucky little guy directly." Huang Quanchuan Aihui looked at the ward again. "Also, arrange for someone to protect him. I'm worried that someone will try to silence him."

The female doctor, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Regarding this, I have some unfortunate news. This child may have lost his memory. He seems to have no recollection of the past. He has some problems with both his memory and mental state."

"Is it because of the injury on the back of your head?"

"That possibility can't be ruled out," the female doctor said. "But there's some good news—we tested the strength of his AIM diffusion field, and it's basically confirmed that his ability level should have reached level 3. It's precisely because of this powerful ability that he survived the fall, right?"

"Level 3 powerful ability...what type is it?" asked Aiho Yomikawa.

"It's not clear yet. This requires specialized equipment." The doctor shook his head. "Based on my experience, I think it's more likely to be a telekinesis."

Huang Quanchuan Aihui nodded: "This is indeed good news."

Level 3 can already be considered a "high-level ability user". In this city with the theme of "superpower development", ability level means almost everything.

A Level 3 with strong abilities and a Level 0 abandoned child with no abilities were treated with completely different levels of respect. At least, when applying for a guard unit to protect him, saying that it was for a Level 3 could save a lot of trouble.

"Then I'll go in and chat for a while." Aiho Yomikawa nodded.

……

It seems that he really has lost his memory, not pretending - Huang Quanchuan Aihui sighed inwardly. As a senior security guard, she has her own set of skills in observing people's words and expressions. It is almost impossible for her to tell whether the person opposite is lying or not.

With a soft sigh, Huang Quanchuan Aihui showed a gentle smile and looked at the boy lying on the hospital bed: "Don't be afraid, and don't be nervous... Do you still remember your name?"

"Hmm..." The boy frowned, as if recalling something, "Number 007."

After traveling through time, Lin Wang did not inherit too many memories of the original owner. He only vaguely remembered that others called him "007" - and this was a memory he retained because it was related to the famous movie series in his previous life.

--serial number?
Yomikawa Aiho and the two guards behind her exchanged a glance, each with a hint of pity. It seemed they were indeed victims who had escaped from an illegal research facility, stripped of their names and marked only by numbers.

"According to your identity file, your last name is tentatively Kobayashi," Yomizukawa Aiho said, "As for your given name... it's still unknown."

"Wuming?" Lin Wang's eyes lit up. As a martial arts world - even if it is a modern urban martial arts world - what name could be more appropriate than "Wuming"?
He even planned to learn erhu after his injury healed...

"No, I mean you don't have a name, but you can give yourself one." Yomikawa Aiho hurriedly explained and told him the reason.

"That's perfect, my name is Lin Wuming!" Lin Wang - Lin Wuming said immediately.

"No problem," Yomikawa Aiho nodded, "I'll help you with the relevant procedures. Please have a good rest from now on."

I originally wanted him to cooperate with my investigation, but it turned out that the child really had amnesia, so Yomikawa Aiho didn't want to continue disturbing and irritating him.

She decided to come back to visit Lin Wuming in two days, after his injuries had stabilized a little and he could leave the intensive care unit, to see if he could recover some of his memory.

As a result, two days later, Lin Wuming's memory certainly showed no signs of recovery.

Huang Quanchuan Aihui could only continue to urge him to rest well and heal his injuries, and then left with some disappointment.

However, Lin Wuming felt that his injuries had recovered well. Perhaps it was because he had awakened his "internal force", and his body's self-healing ability had also been enhanced?

In short, he can be transferred to a general ward for recuperation and treatment.

Just as Lin Wuming was preparing to transfer to another ward, he did not realize that someone was observing him behind the one-way glass.

This combination is rather strange. The two men in white coats do not look like doctors in the hospital; the two men in black suits and sunglasses have serious expressions, and their muscles under their clothes are almost bursting. One of them is observing the surroundings vigilantly, while the other focuses his main attention on a little girl in front of him.

"Mr. Cao Qi," asked one of the older men in the white coats, "Is this boy lying? Has he really lost his memory?"

The girl with blonde hair and sparkling eyes had a bored expression. "He wasn't lying. But rather than amnesia... it's more like a delusional explosion, right? He doesn't even remember this is Academy City. Instead, he insists on believing it's some modern world of samurai and ninja."

"His brain is definitely damaged." Another younger man in a white coat nodded with satisfaction. "Looks like there's no need to seal it up—doing something like this under the noses of the security forces is indeed a bit tricky."

The old man glanced at him and said, "Be careful, you are so open-mouthed. To be honest, I regret coming to help. Let's go back, Cao Qijun."

The blonde girl seemed not to hear anything and obediently followed the old man and left.

At the same time, the door of the intensive care unit was pushed open and a nurse came out pushing a wheelchair.

Lin Wuming was sitting in a wheelchair and just passed by the old man and the girl who were coming towards him in the corridor.

In this situation, it is hard not to notice the exquisite and beautiful girl.

——It turns out that starry eyes really exist in reality!
Lin Wuming couldn't help but think in his heart.

--Fool!
The girl's crisp scolding voice came.

Lin Wuming quickly turned around, but found that no one else seemed to have heard the sound just now.

He couldn't help but wonder, was I hallucinating?
