A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 9 Shokuhou Misaki's unexpected discovery

This was the second time Shokuhou Misaki had seen Lin Wuming.

Yesterday, she had come to the hospital for the first time to check Lin Wuming's memory. At the time, Shokuhou Misaki had seen him as a hapless person who had suffered an unfortunate accident and ended up with amnesia and paranoia.

However, just one day later, when she saw Lin Wuming again, Shokuhou Misaki discovered that there were many more interesting things in his memory.

"What does 'traveller' mean? Does he know me? Why does he think I'm level 5? It's obviously going to take a while before I can get promoted, and I shouldn't have leaked any information to anyone outside." Because she took a closer look at Lin Wuming, Shokuhou Misaki immediately discovered a lot of interesting information.

But just as she herself assessed, her "mental mastery" had only just stabilized at level 4. She couldn't yet freely read the deep memories of others, and could only peek into their ongoing mental activities and shallow memories.

——If it is really as Lin Wuming believes, after I become level 5, I will probably be able to easily read other people's inner thoughts, right?
Shokuhou Misaki was just curious, but she didn't quite believe the memory information she saw from Lin Wuming.

Academy City is a place full of intrigue, calculations and conspiracies. What you see is not necessarily the truth. Even other people’s inner thoughts may be another lie.

It is precisely because of her superpower of "mental control" that Shokuhou Misaki knows that lies do not have to be told. Some people can even deceive herself who has the ability to read minds - even if she reads their memories, she will only get lies.

But Shokuhou Misaki also felt that Lin Wuming was also a victim of illegal experiments, so he wouldn't deliberately deceive her. Perhaps he had other sources of information.

——We need to contact him again. We need to find out the source of his information...

Shokuhou Misaki thought to herself.

She had been deliberately concealing her true ability level. In the eyes of the researchers in the "Talent Workshop", she was still at level 3, in the process of making a charge towards level 4. Little did they know that her "mental mastery" had already been successfully upgraded last week, and she was still making rapid progress, making a push towards level 5!

Shokuhou Misaki, who is able to see through people's hearts, has long seen the ill intentions of the researchers around her, and she knew from the beginning that the "Cairen's House" is essentially an illegal experimental project.

In order to protect herself and at the same time use the resources of the experimental institution to continue developing her superpowers, Shokuhou Misaki chose to conceal her true ability level from the outside world.

Her actions were successful, and her true strength has not been discovered by anyone to this day.

However, the boy in front of her directly identified her as level 5, which naturally made her feel concerned.

——Could it be that there is some unknown person or organization that has been secretly observing me?
For Shokuhou Misaki, who advocates secrecy, this is undoubtedly a huge destabilizing factor that must be eliminated!

Level 4 "psychological control" still has many limitations. If you want to obtain more intelligence, you must get close to the target person on a real level.

So, Shokuhou Misaki chose the right time, and when Lin Wuming left the meeting room, he "happened" to pass by the corridor at the door.

The two met face to face and their eyes met again.

But this time, when Lin Wuming recognized the girl in front of him, he immediately became alert.

—Oh no! It's Shokuhou Misaki!
But then he thought again and felt that there seemed to be no point in being so nervous.

When Lin Wuming realized that he had met Shokuhou Misaki, he had already prepared himself for the current situation. As long as his background was not known by Chairman Aleister or the lunatics of the "Kihara Clan", he, an ordinary level 3 telekinetic user, would be safe and could lie down easily.

——Shokuhou Misaki... No, the Queen will not harm herself!

Lin Wuming firmly believed this, and... after feeling relieved, he even had the spare time to carefully look at the girl walking towards him.

—Hmm, she's still the young Queen, and she's able to move freely around the hospital. She probably hasn't joined the "Talent Ward" yet, right? So, we can conclude she's still only a Level 3 user with strong abilities. And since she doesn't have a remote control in her hand, she probably can't read my thoughts yet...

Thoughts like these flashed through his mind. Lin Wuming cleared his mind, gave Shokuhou Misaki an empty smile, and passed by her.

"……Fool!"

This time, the sound came clearly and unmistakably from my ears.

Lin Wuming seemed not to hear and drove his wheelchair straight forward.

——Sure enough, yesterday must have been an illusion. She can't transmit her voice directly to my mind yet, so she has to speak normally. Although I don't know why she scolded me... Or maybe she wasn't talking to me?
Lin Wuming silently analyzed the situation, and by the time he remembered to respond, he and Shokuhou Misaki had already distanced themselves from each other and walked away.

Turning around, he saw the blonde girl politely bowing and greeting the doctors and security teachers, with no intention of looking at him at all.

Lin Wuming felt even more that his judgment was correct.

"Student Lin Wuming, do you know that girl?" Before he knew it, Hufeng Toumi had approached behind him and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair.

Lin Wuming's whole body was tense, his mind ability entered the first level combat readiness state, and the wounds on his body felt a sharp pain because of the sudden tense muscles!
Because of his telekinetic ability, Lin Wuming didn't need anyone's help pushing his wheelchair; but just now, because he was distracted thinking about Shokuhou Misaki, he moved a little slower, and was mistakenly thought to be tired.

"I'll push you away," Tiger Bee Toumi said, "Although it's a bit late, let's go to the restaurant for dinner..."

She paused, as if thinking of something, and said, "Or, I'll take you back to the ward first. If you want to eat anything, I'll bring it to the ward for you."

The doctor and security teacher behind also knew that the girl wanted to make up for her mistake of accidental injury, so she took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of Lin Wuming. So they did not stop her, but just told them and helped them change to another ward.

Lin Wuming really wanted to reject the girl's kindness, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

The reason was simple—he was afraid of provoking this crazy woman, and then getting upset and stabbing him in the back.

Just now in the conference room, I heard the doctors and security teachers say that this girl named Hufeng Toumi is "mentally unstable" and suspected of having mania.

Lin Wuming was very suspicious that she was hospitalized to treat her mental illness.

Moreover, Hufeng Toumi seemed to be very familiar with the doctors and security teachers, and the adults behind her had no intention of stopping her.

What's scarier than a madman with explosive strength? That's a madman with a background!

Anyway, at least Lin Wuming couldn't understand and didn't dare to ask easily why the hospital and the guard force agreed to put Tiger Bee Tou Mi in the same ward with himself.

　Thank you Ye Hanhua for your support!!
