A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 982 Rational Analysis

Through Feng Zhan Binghua's invitation, Lin Wuming discovered that the "Imaginary Number Zone" was an unexpectedly suitable channel for his "psychic clone" tactic.

First, through this experiment, Lin Wuming confirmed that his "clone" could move freely in the Imaginary Number Zone; second, due to the special nature of the Imaginary Number Zone, it would be much easier for the "clone" to move there—air does not exist in the Imaginary Number Zone, since the NPC citizens living there do not need to breathe anyway.

The Wind Slash Ice Flower skill can adjust the environment of the imaginary number region, such as eliminating air or even directly switching coordinates.

The Imaginary Number District is a city constructed from AIM diffusion fields. Its basic elements are various AIM diffusion fields, or rather, the superpowers of nearly two million Ability Users in Academy City.

Therefore, the virtual number region is essentially a collection of all superpowers; any superpower can be disassembled and reconstructed through specific operations.

The "Space Envoy" series of abilities are no exception.

Kazakiri Hyouka would often suddenly disappear and then reappear in other places without warning, which was actually due to the unconscious effect of her "space master" ability.

However, back then, Feng Zhan Binghua was clueless and could only passively drift with the tide, appearing wherever the space moved; but now, in order to be able to stay stably in the real world, or even stay stably by Lin Wuming's side, Feng Zhan Binghua has put a lot of effort into studying the characteristics of himself and the Imaginary Number Zone.

Ultimately, she successfully deciphered the application method of the "Space Envoy" series of abilities—of course, such abilities are only applicable within the imaginary mathematics region, but due to her own special properties, it is possible to switch coordinates within the imaginary mathematics region and then reappear in the real world at the corresponding coordinates.

The whole process was somewhat cumbersome, but she did achieve free movement within the Academy City.

In terms of range of movement, even a Level 4 esper like Kihara Awaki is far inferior to Kazakiri Hyouka. Perhaps only a Level 5 esper among the "space users" could achieve such a wide range of movement.

Lin Wuming's clones can utilize the movement system developed by Feng Zhan Binghua to achieve rapid deployment throughout the entire city.

Of course, this process requires Feng Zhan Binghua's cooperation—Lin Wuming is ultimately not a resident of the Imaginary Number District, and the true master of this place needs to grant him the corresponding permissions.

Kazan Hyoka herself was of course willing to help, but Lin Wuming still didn't want to add too much trouble and burden to her; so he adopted a compromise solution - he selected some specific coordinates in advance in the Imaginary Number District and asked Kazan Hyoka to set them as permanent "teleportation points". With the help of these teleportation points, Lin Wuming's clone could quickly move between important locations in the twenty-three school districts of Academy City. After leaving the "teleportation point", he could use "high-speed movement" to complete the last leg of the journey.

This approach combines speed and convenience, making it a pretty good solution...

Without any intention of hiding anything, Lin Wuming enthusiastically explained his plan.

Because this plan aims to improve Lin Wuming's ability to deal with a large number of low-quality enemies, but does not fundamentally improve his own strength, even if the information is leaked, it will not have any impact.

From the perspective of Aleister's chairman, he would likely be very supportive of Lin Wuming's plan.

—Anonymous senior, you don't actually think you can get away with this, do you?

—What…what did I do to get away with it?
Lin Wuming was stunned for a moment.

—While the current atmosphere seems pretty good, don't forget, the side story individual and Kazakiri Hyouka are "enemies." —Isn't calling them enemies a bit of an exaggeration?
—That's why they put it in quotation marks, and they even put subtitles in the senior's mind... But the fact that the two of them are rivals is not an exaggeration at all!
Lin Wuming smiled bitterly to himself. Although he didn't deliberately manipulate the topic, he did have some intention of diverting the girls' attention.

That's why he talked at length about his plan to improve his skills and the specific steps involved, in order to prevent the girls around him from having a conflict due to a lack of topics to discuss.

—It seems that even the nameless senior knows why Misaka and I are unhappy today; and Tiger Bee and Shirai, although they are not here now, they also have considerable dissatisfaction.

The problem, of course, lies with these two new transfer students.

Of course, Lin Wuming knew even better that the real problem lay with himself.

Misaki Shokuhou and the others already knew about the extra chapter and Kazakiri Hyouka's transfer to this school last week. Logically speaking, although they were unhappy, it shouldn't be as serious as it is now.

But why did Lin Wuming invite the two of them to this empty classroom for a "secret talk" after school?

—I don't deny your accusations, but there are reasons for them, and I have a clear conscience!

Lin Wuming quickly explained that it was precisely because he had a clear conscience that he would treat the two transfer students normally, without giving them special treatment, being overly close to them, or deliberately distancing himself from them.

In Lin Wuming's view, since Misaki Shokuhou can directly read his true inner thoughts, there is no need for him to put on airs and distance himself from or even reject the extra characters and Kazakiri Hyouka.

Moreover, his academic discussions were indeed purely academic discussions—in terms of ability development, he could not avoid Kazakiri Hyouka and Misaka Network.

—Well, of course I know everything the Nameless Senior said, and I believe he wouldn't lie to us… In fact, I've never doubted the Nameless Senior in this regard. It's just…

Misaki Shokuhou snorted coldly—unhappy things are just unhappy!
Lin Wuming smiled bitterly. It had nothing to do with reason; it was purely a matter of emotional perception, and that was the most troublesome thing.

—No, you're wrong, Anonymous Senior. It's based on rational analysis!

Misaki Shokuhou immediately retorted—of course, she believed the nameless senior was telling the truth. You have a clear conscience and only considered them ordinary classmates or friends, but…

Misaki Shokuhou stared intently at Lin Wuming, radiating an unusual charm and charisma. Every word she uttered seemed to be questioning the depths of his soul.

—Before this, the nameless senior had the same attitude towards me, Misaka, Tiger Bee, and Shirai-kun: friends and partners, not lovers.

—The seniors at that time were also sincere and did not lie.

So, can people assume that the extra characters and Kazakiri Hyouka might have the potential to be "officially recognized" in the future?
