A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 764 Re-entering the Scene
"We'll talk about opportunities to shine later," Lin Wuming said with a wry smile. "We've wasted a lot of time here."

"Ah, that's right!" After being reminded, Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized this. She quickly checked the time and then showed a "Oh no" expression.

"Don't worry, big sister," Shirai Kuroko reassured calmly. "Everyone knows you're accompanying Mumei-senpai on a tour, so no one will rush you."

"Huh? Won't this attract even more attention?!" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed. "No, I have to go out and show my face."

Even if it's just a self-deceiving cover-up, Misaka Mikoto has to do it. After all, she's not shameless enough to openly "abandon public duty for private matters."

"Nameless senior, I'm sorry to keep you company, I'll come find you soon..." Misaka Mikoto said as she hurriedly ran out of the dormitory.

“You shouldn’t run away at a time like this… Onee-sama!” Shirai Kuroko looked helpless, then turned to the others, “Please leave first, I’ll take Mumei-senpai out using spatial teleportation last.”

Because people have already started to notice this dormitory, in order to make sure this "disguise" is not in vain, Lin Wuming must not be discovered leaving this dormitory.

After the other girls left one by one, Shirai Kuroko closed the door, then walked to the window and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain to observe outside.

"Good, there's no one outside."

To ensure Lin Wuming's new image was completely solidified, Shirai Kuroko suggested that he simply leave the Seventh School District Student Dormitory and re-enter the scene with a new identity.

“Oh, right, here you go,” Shirai Kuroko said, pulling a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses from her bag and handing them to Lin Wuming. “The senior from the drama club said that glasses are the most convenient disguise tool, as they can effectively change the contours of one’s face.”

Lin Wuming readily agreed and took the glasses, putting them on.

Then I subconsciously frowned – the prescription was too strong, and I felt a little dizzy.

"These are actually Senpai's spare glasses, so they have a prescription," Shirai Kuroko quickly said. "But with Nameless Senpai's Nen ability, he should be able to adjust the refractive index of the lenses, right?"

“You’re right, it’s been adjusted to non-prescription lenses.” Lin Wuming nodded. The moment he discovered the lenses had a prescription, he used his Nen ability to fill in the lenses and make them flat.

After examining the area again and confirming there were no flaws, Shirai Kuroko stepped forward, grabbed Lin Wuming's arm, and activated "Spatial Teleportation".

After moving around several times, the two arrived at an intersection outside the dormitory area.

Immediately afterwards, Shirai Kuroko took a new invitation from the pocket of her maid outfit: "Next, please re-enter, Nameless Senpai. Don't worry, I'll be there to meet you. See you later!"

Clutching the new invitation, Lin Wuming shook his head: "I came so early today, but after all that trouble, I'm back to square one..."

She looked down and checked her outfit again—luckily, men's clothing itself has fewer styles, so even though it was a theatrical costume, it didn't look particularly strange on her at this moment.

At most, it's just a bit more solemn and magnificent than other visitors.

After calming himself down, Lin Wuming strode towards the dormitory area.

Then it was immediately exposed.

At this moment, in addition to the female students responsible for greeting guests, two more security guards were stationed at the entrance of the dormitory for students in the Seventh School District to maintain order.

Yomikawa Aiho and Tetsuzo Satsuri.

Leaving aside the fact that Huang Quan Chuan Ai Sui was Lin Wu Ming's guardian who had been with him day and night for nearly three years, how could she not recognize him just because of a simple disguise?
However, Huang Quanchuan Aisui immediately realized what was going on, so she didn't expose Lin Wuming's disguise and just pretended not to know him.

Lin Wuming nodded to her, then showed her the invitation and entered the room.

"Whose young master is that?" Ironclad Sculptor didn't recognize Lin Wuming as expected. "It's the first time I've seen a visitor dressed so formally." "Ahem," Huang Quanchuan Aisui coughed twice. "You'll find out later. Don't get distracted. If something happens here, it could easily escalate into a major incident."

“That’s true,” Tetsuya Tsuri wholeheartedly agreed. “After all, those dressed as maids today are all genuine young ladies.”

Despite his disguise, Lin Wuming, dressed in a magnificent formal suit, still attracted attention in another way.

Fortunately, Shirai Kuroko appeared in time and cleverly led Lin Wuming away from people's attention.

Soon, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki also gathered, forming a fairly large group in the corridor.

"I guess we still need a bit of subtle hinting," Misaki Shokuhou said, waving the remote control. "Otherwise, as long as he sees someone walking with us, the nameless senior will still be recognized, right?"

The only boy who could be with Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki is Lin Wuming.

However, Misaki Shokuhou didn't go too far. According to Misaka Mikoto's theory, she didn't want to ruin today's rare visit experience.

Misaki Shokuhou only intervenes to drive away anyone who tries to disturb them.

As for the maids who watched the show from the sidelines without interfering, Misaki Shokuhou didn't care.

For Lin Wuming, being surrounded by a crowd made it difficult to feel any sense of participation.

However, Lin Wuming didn't care. For him, the "Midsummer Festival" was all about participation, and the specific content of the visit was secondary.

In this situation, it seems more interesting to observe the reactions of the girls around you.

Just as Lin Wuming's side was chattering and making a lot of noise, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Because they were acting as tour guides, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, who were the main speakers, suddenly fell silent, as if they had something stuck in their throats.

At the other end of the corridor, a young woman in business attire was walking towards them with five or six children who were not yet ten years old.

This is the person that Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko respect the most—the dormitory supervisor of the seventh school district.

The dormitory supervisor's glasses reflected a cold glint as he silently watched them.

The smile on Misaka Mikoto's face had completely frozen, and she even seemed to be petrified.

The dormitory supervisor's gaze swept over the others, finally settling on Lin Wuming.

"Misaka-san."

"Yes, I am here!"

The dormitory supervisor sighed softly, "Although it's a bit disappointing, I hope you won't forget your responsibilities."

"Yes...yes! I'll go prepare right away!" Misaka Mikoto said sullenly.

Today, she's not only a "maid" who needs to entertain visitors, but she also has to perform on stage later, so she really can't be too careless.

As if remembering something, the dormitory supervisor asked again, "By the way, Misaka-san, do you have a younger sister?"
