A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 673 Wuming, have I ever defeated you?
Or to be more precise, Lin Wuming and the others knew that "Misaka Network" was powerful, but they never formed an intuitive feeling about it.

After all, it's difficult for others to experience the "Misaka Network" firsthand.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the "Misaka Network" is the key element used by Chairman Aleister to set up the "Artificial Heaven".

Moreover, in the original work, the only one who plays a role is the "Misaka Network", which has less than 10,000 people left.

Now, providing support to Lin Wuming is a complete "perfect version network" of 20,000 people!
"Hmm..." After extinguishing the flame on his fingertips, Lin Wuming did not continue trying, but fell into thought.

——This is a serious situation. If Chairman Aleister knew about this...would he have already known about it?

Thinking of Chairman Aleister's great powers, Lin Wuming was still unsure.

But one thing is certain, it is better not to reveal more information for the time being before thinking through the next response measures.

——What if this is also what Chairman Aleister has in mind? What should we do next?
——What if he actually doesn’t realize this?
In the final analysis, Lin Wuming actually only has one decision to make - whether to continue to develop his "multi-talents" in depth?
As a person with super powers and a time traveler, Lin Wuming is naturally interested in "manipulating multiple super powers".

His next stage of improvement is to achieve some form of "omnipotence" - using telekinesis to imitate the effects of other abilities.

Now, there is no need to "imitate" anymore. Lin Wuming can directly activate different types of abilities with the help of this "collar electrode", the "Misaka Network" and the "superpower catalog" recorded in his brain...

Does this mean that I can change my job from a "telepath" to a "multi-talented person"?

Without a doubt, this is impossible!
Lin Wuming took off the "collar electrode" - he could still clearly tell which one was his foundation and which one was just a "game" to add icing on the cake.

If you concentrate your energy on developing multiple talents on a whim, you are missing the forest for the trees.

Just think about Kimura Haruo and Sadamang back then and you will know that “multi-talentedness” cannot beat “incomplete telekinesis” - this one thing is enough.

"But it really is... a very tempting prop." Lin Wuming was a little reluctant, but very determined to put the "collar electrode" aside and not touch it again.

……

"What a shame he didn't try again," a voice said. "It's a shame he couldn't collect more valuable data."

In a windowless building, in a room filled with giant test tubes, Chairman Aleister remained silent.

"Look, previously at Misawa Academy, we weren't able to gather any useful data due to the special force field. We could only roughly assess some possibilities," the voice continued. "Now it seems the telepath isn't very interested in this new toy—your expectations have been dashed."

“…” Chairman Aleister still did not respond, as if he did not hear the voices that filled the entire room.

"Okay, so what are you going to do next?"

"Kamijo Touma." Chairman Aleister finally spoke.

"That young man you were looking forward to has been in a very bad state these past few days," the voice said bluntly, "You miscalculated."

"Separate him from Lin Wuming," Chairman Aleister said. "If both of them show up at the same time, it will make a simple matter even more complicated."

"This... is your excuse for your miscalculation?"

"Is this an excuse? So let's do an experiment," Chairman Aleister said calmly. "Have Kamijou Touma temporarily leave Academy City, and during this time, trigger a certain incident."

After a brief pause, countless screens were instantly projected into the space in front of the huge test tube.

As if drawing a card, Chairman Aleister randomly selected a "card" and erased all other screens. "If my judgment is correct," Chairman Aleister continued, "after the two of them separate, Lin Wuming will resolve this incident with his usual high efficiency."

"Ha, you actually just want him to help you with the work, right?"

……

Kamijou Touma's situation hasn't been very good lately.

Since Kamijou Touma was forced to engage in strenuous activities before his injuries had healed, the situation was more like a "relapse of an old injury."

After examination and confirmation that the injury has not worsened, you can go home and recuperate as planned.

Therefore, Kamijou Touma was discharged from the hospital again two days ago.

He also came to say goodbye to Lin Wuming at that time, but Lin Wuming was sleeping soundly at that time, so he had to give up.

But today—just as Lin Wuming was packing his bags and preparing to be discharged from the hospital, Kamijou Touma suddenly came into his ward...

After a night of observation, Lin Wuming finally confirmed that his "condition" was no longer a problem, so he prepared to be discharged from the hospital and go home.

Then, Kamijou Touma sneaked in with a sneaky look on his face.

Although he was still sitting in a wheelchair, Kamijou Touma's movements were extremely skillful - he opened the door to a width just wide enough for the wheelchair to pass through, then turned 180 degrees, and actually arrived at the ward, and gently closed the door.

It wasn't until he heard the "click" of the door closing that Kamijou Touma seemed relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, he's saved..." Noticing that Lin Wuming was the only one in the ward and the girls were nowhere to be found, Kamijou Touma breathed a sigh of relief again, "That's great, I'm so lucky..."

In Kamijou Touma's impression, the girls around Lin Wuming were all quite difficult to deal with. If they were present...

Combined with those inexplicable rumors outside... Kamijou Touma couldn't help but shudder.

"Kamijo..." Lin Wuming looked at the uninvited guest in confusion, "What happened? Are you... being hunted?"

Seeing Kamijou Touma's miserable appearance, Lin Wuming couldn't help but ask.

So what's going on here? Is there a corresponding plot in the original storyline?
“Uh…” Kamijou Touma wanted to explain the situation, but after opening his mouth, he didn’t know what to say.

In truth, Kamijou Touma himself hadn't yet grasped the situation, and his escape here was, to some extent, a desperate move.

After all, Lin Wuming is also a "party involved"...

"That's right!" Thinking of this, Kamijou Touma suddenly had an idea. He rubbed his cheeks and tried to cheer up.

Then he looked at Lin Wuming seriously and said, "Wuming, I want to confirm something with you—please don't misunderstand me, I just want to confirm whether this is true or not—so please tell me simply and directly, 'yes' or 'no'."

"What's wrong?" Lin Wuming frowned, "Have you lost your memory?"

"It might be even worse than that." Kamijou Touma said with a wry smile, "I want to ask you, Wuming - have I, Kamijou Touma, ever defeated you?"
