A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 697 Repeating the same trick
"In other words, Wuming is indeed still alive now?" Faced with the doctor's somewhat ambiguous answer, Hufeng Toumi confirmed again very solemnly.

"Yes." The ghost-chasing doctor nodded.

"But the diagnosis report says..." Yomikawa Aiho continued, "Wuming is already... brain dead."

"That's right." The Ghost Chaser Doctor nodded again.

"So what does this mean?" Misaka Mikoto raised her eyes, a faint flash of lightning flickering between the ends of her hair. "Could it be that Wuming-senpai is the cat trapped in the box, in a strange state between life and death?"

"It's not that mysterious," the ghost-chasing doctor waved his hand. "I've made it very clear just now—Lin Wuming's body is still alive and healthy. But his brain activity... well, to put it in a less scientific but more understandable way—his soul is dead."

Hearing the word "soul", the three girls looked at each other again, exchanging their views through their eyes. In a world where "magic" really exists, the mystical concept of "soul" also seems much more real.

"So what can we do to save him?" Huang Quanchuan Aiho didn't care about that. Her purpose was very clear - to save people.

"About this..." Doctor Hell's Soul Chaser dragged out his words. Just as the girls were about to lose their patience, he looked at Shokuhou Misaki and said, "You're the expert in the field of brain and memory. I suppose you have your own plans, right?"

"Sly old fox!"

Shokuhou Misaki spoke bluntly in the mind of the Hades Soul Chaser.

In response, the doctor just smiled as usual, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Shokuhou Misaki continued to glare at him fiercely.

——This frog doctor seemed to have sensed something, a secret about Senior Wuming... But it wasn't surprising. After all, Senior Wuming had been here too many times, so it was normal for this old fox to have gathered enough information about him.

The reason why Hades Chaser was acting so mysterious and refused to explain his illness in a proper manner was, in Shokuhou Misaki's opinion, that he was trying to hide something.

However, we still don’t know what he wants to hide and from whom.

Doctor Ghost Chaser seems to have some special mental defense measures that can block Shokuhou Misaki's "mental control" to a certain extent, making it impossible for her to read the memory information deep in her mind.

——But it doesn’t matter anymore. Since the doctor has already made a diagnosis, then my thoughts must be reasonable, right?
Shokuhou Misaki made her decision and turned to walk out the door.

"Sister Runzi!"

The other girls were waiting in the corridor outside, so they didn’t know that Lin Wuming was “dead” yet.

But seeing Shokuhou Misaki's solemn expression, he guessed that Lin Wuming's situation was probably not optimistic.

Fanfeng Runzi's expression was very nervous. Because of the Queen, she had a good relationship with Lin Wuming, so...

"Your Majesty..." Fanfeng Runzi asked cautiously, "Who is Senior Wuming?"

Shokuhou Misaki didn't answer her directly, but instead ordered, "Junko-sister, please find a way to call Yuuri Chiya over immediately."

It is already late at night, and it is usually difficult to wake up Youli Qianye at this time.

Because she likes night tours - the kind that make you feel like you're out of body.

"Is it related to the matter of Senior Wuming?" Fanfeng Runzi asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, yes." Shokuhou Misaki nodded.

"I understand!" Hokaze Junko nodded seriously, "I'll ask Yumi to go find her, I'm sure there will be results soon." In the Shokuhou faction, Yumi Iruka is equivalent to Hokaze Junko's deputy. Although she has always shown no interest in the affairs of the faction, she is also a very prestigious character because of her qualifications and abilities.

In addition, since they both come from the "Talent Workshop", Yugan Iruka is like an older sister to Yuuri Chiya, majestic and reliable.

As long as the bow and arrow enter the deer summon, there is a high probability that the "wandering in the sky" Youli Qianye can be woken up immediately.

Shokuhou Misaki nodded and said again, "Please, find Yuuri Chiya as soon as possible!"

"So..." Fanfeng Runzi became more and more worried.

"Don't worry." Shokuhou Misaki looked at her and shook her head slightly. "I took action just to avoid the worst possible outcome."

"..."

At this moment, the three junior schoolmates, Kuroko Shirai, Ryoko Saten and Shikiri Hatsuharu, were even more silent, not daring to make a sound.

They are not stupid. Just by reading the air and the atmosphere, they can tell that Senior Wuming is in danger.

——Originally I just wanted to join in the fun and have a meal cooked by the nameless senior, but who knew such an accident would happen!

Hokaze Junko walked aside to practice archery with Iruka, and only then did Shokuhou Misaki notice the three girls beside her.

"you……"

"Let's stay and accompany the seniors!" Riri Saten immediately raised her hand and said.

——If I choose to leave at this time, I will always feel disloyal.

Saten Ruiko thought.

Although the whole incident actually has nothing to do with them, since they have encountered it, they can't just walk away, right?

"It's up to you." Shokuhou Misaki held her forehead and said tiredly, "We don't have the extra energy to take care of other things right now, so..."

"Don't worry, Shokuhou-senpai," Shirai Kuroko said steadily, "We can take care of ourselves. And, if there's anything you need our help with, please let me know."

"You're so reliable," Shokuhou Misaki praised. "I'll remember that. If we really need you, we won't hesitate."

Having said that, until Yuuri Chiye arrives, all they can do is wait.

Taking this opportunity, Shokuhou Misaki briefly explained her plan to everyone.

In short, it was a plan that had been conceived before - to use Youli Qianye's ability "Ghost Body Connection" to find and awaken Lin Wuming's "soul".

Since the doctor said that Lin Wuming’s problem lies in his “soul”, then it’s better to prescribe the right medicine.

As for what to do after that, Shokuhou Misaki hasn't figured it out yet.

But no matter what, at least we have to find Lin Wuming's "soul" first, and then we will be qualified to think about other things.

——And who knows, this time, just like last time, Senior Wuming might suddenly wake up before we take action!
It is hard to say whether Shokuhou Misaki came up with this idea because she really wanted to use the "Ghost Body Alliance" to find Lin Wuming's "soul"; or she simply wanted to have a good start and hoped to replicate the "miracle" of the last time.
