A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 753 Unresolved Events

Looking back on Kiyama Harumi's experience, it's easy to see that she was well-behaved and didn't do anything out of line again, but instead devoted herself to taking care of her students.

Misaki Shokuhou said, "Alright, instead of making wild guesses here, why don't I go visit that Harukami Emi-san again later? I should find out something, right?"

"No, no need!" someone suddenly said from the doorway. "Let's not disturb Haruue for now, let her rest properly."

The speaker was a girl dressed in a sailor uniform, with long light brown hair held back by a headband, revealing a broad forehead, and looking very energetic.

"Greetings, senior students." The girl lifted her skirt and bowed to the young ladies of Tokiwadai Middle School, imitating a gesture she had seen on TV.

Then, turning her gaze to the hospital bed, the girl smiled and said, "Long time no see, senior Wuming."

"You are..." Feeling the sudden gazes gathering around him, Lin Wuming quickly raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry, I'm not very good at recognizing people."

“Well, that’s understandable, since we haven’t actually met yet,” the girl said. “The rumors are true—the Nameless Senior rarely visits those he has saved.”

"Is it difficult..." The girl suddenly stood at attention and coughed twice.

The next second, everyone in the ward realized that the girl at the door had become a different person.

"Nameless senior." The girl spoke again, her voice sounding as if it had special effects, like many people speaking at the same time, or like she was speaking through an untuned speaker, with a peculiar electronic sound quality.

“We meet again,” the girl said, her eyes wide, but her pupils were unfocused, simply taking in everything in the room. “Now, you should remember us, right, Nameless Senior?”

“Yes.” Lin Wuming nodded with a strange expression. “I didn’t expect… it really was ‘you guys’.”

During the "Fantasy Master" incident, Lin Wuming's consciousness was once integrated into the "Fantasy Beast's" ocean of consciousness.

There, besides himself, there were two other independent consciousnesses: one was Wulin Yexiao, and the other was Kiyama Haruo's students.

As victims of the experiment, these students' consciousnesses became one, intertwined and inseparable. However, this misfortune also brought them good fortune, as they were able to survive as a whole.

"I remember you guys had already recovered, didn't you?" Lin Wuming exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, the one speaking is clearly not just the girl in front of us, but the collective consciousness of all the students.

“Aftereffects.” Kiyama Harumi, who had come with the girl, explained, “My calculations were flawed… Relying solely on the reverse calculations and simulations of the ‘Imagine Master’ system cannot truly solve the problem.”

Due to the experiment, the AIM diffusion fields of all of Kiyama Haruo's students went out of control and became mixed together.

The only way to awaken them is to reorganize each person's AIM diffusion field.

However, all the data related to that experiment has been destroyed—at least, Kiyama Haruo couldn't find it no matter what he tried.

The only result of the experiment, the "ability crystal," was easily sold off to other research institutions by Kihara Gensei because it did not meet the expected results, and its whereabouts are now unknown.

Therefore, the only method that Kiyama Haruo could think of was to use simulation calculations to reverse the experimental process at that time, in an attempt to reproduce the entire experimental process and the final result.

After obtaining the desired data, the ability database within the "Fantasy Master" system is used to help the students reshape their AIM diffusion field. Through this roundabout method, the ultimate goal of saving the students is achieved.

In the immediate aftermath of the "Phantom Mage" incident, things unfolded exactly as Kiyama Haruo had predicted; everything went as expected, and all the problems were perfectly resolved.

But gradually, things started to go wrong.

Her students would occasionally drift off into a daze, staring blankly in the same direction.

This is true even if they are in different places.

Then, when everyone was spacing out, there would be a random person who would start moving around freely.

As if sleepwalking, his reactions to other people were much slower than normal.

Even more bizarrely, once the students in this situation start to speak, it creates a "chorus effect" that sounds like many people speaking at the same time...

“As time went by, my students’ condition worsened.” Kiyama Haruo’s expression was somber. “I had no choice but to bring them to the hospital and ask the best doctors here. But…”

“I’m so sorry,” Mingtu Zhuihun followed, “To be honest, this is the first time I’ve encountered such symptoms.”

Then, according to Harumi Kiyama, around last week, her students’ conditions suddenly worsened.

Like the girl standing at the door right now, apart from her strange voice and somewhat vacant expression, she's almost no different from a normal person.

—The students' consciousness as a whole is becoming increasingly dynamic.

This means that their "individuality" is gradually fading, and they may eventually truly merge into one, becoming one consciousness!
In desperation, Kiyama Harumi had no choice but to conduct the experiment again...

Upon hearing this, Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou exchanged a glance and shared their opinions.

—It can be confirmed that it is indeed still "disorganized and open", and it is even related to Kiyama Harumi and her students.

"The special earthquake you just mentioned," Kiyama Harumi sighed and frankly admitted, "that was probably not an earthquake, but rather a rampage of unconscious abilities caused by disturbances in the AIM diffusion field... I'm sorry, but it was probably caused by my experiment."

After saying that, Kiyama Harumi looked at Lin Wuming with a resigned expression, as if waiting for the final verdict.

By now, she already knew that Lin Wuming was not an ordinary high school student on the surface, and even being a Level 5 superpowered person was not his most dazzling label.

Lin Wuming's most important identity now is "Member of the Oversight Council", "Nameless Director", and a de facto high-ranking member of Academy City.

Kiyama Harumi was still unsure how much real power Lin Wuming, this "nameless director," actually wielded, but she knew that—at least the "minor matters" she was involved in were entirely within Lin Wuming's purview.

At this moment, the future of himself and his students rested entirely on Lin Wuming's decision.

Therefore, even though he knew that Lin Wuming was not such a cold-blooded person, Kiyama Harumi still couldn't help but feel nervous.
