A Scientific Urban Detective

Watching Miyu Aiwaku's departing figure, Misaki Shokuhou also started walking, going in the opposite direction.

"That's why I hate dealing with this girl..." A long sigh.

We could be communicating normally, but for various reasons, it's turned into this kind of rivalry...

It's like I'm not receiving intelligence, but digging it out of her.

"Seriously, if I knew it would be this troublesome, I might as well have just gone directly to find that Kaibi Gokusaimei myself!"

Returning to the Third Research Lab, Misaki Shokuhou immediately arranged for a researcher to call Lin Wuming.

Out of caution, Misaki Shokuhou avoided calling herself as much as possible.

"Ah, it's going through, it seems Wuming-senpai's phone service is back to normal," the female researcher muttered.

Lin Wuming's voice came from the other end of the line: "What's up?"

"Well, nothing for the moment~" the female researcher said—I wonder if Wuming-senpai can guess it's me calling?

However, it might be better if I'm not discovered.

Misaki Shokuhou manipulated the female researcher to speak on her own: "Regarding the dark side 'School'—what do you know about this name?"

She instinctively felt that Lin Wuming, who knew the "original plot," should know some useful information.

"Huh?" Taken aback by the sudden question, Lin Wuming was a little unsure of the other party's intentions, but he still said some generally accepted things.

"If it's the 'School' I've heard of, the leader is Kakine Teitoku, the number two ranked Level 5, 'Dark Matter'. Other information is currently unclear, but his subordinates may include a telekinetic and a mental ability user; small in number but highly skilled."

"Eh..." Misaki Shokuhou was secretly surprised, "Level 5?"

Thank goodness she noticed in time, otherwise, if she suddenly encountered a Level 5 obstructing her, her actions might be completely ruined!

—But what's going on? This wasn't in the memory information!

Misaki Shokuhou carefully recalled the memory information about the "Artificial Intelligence Project," for which she had specifically gone to see Lin Wuming; after repeatedly confirming that she had grasped all the relevant information without any omissions, she formulated the plan.

Why did a dark side "School" suddenly appear, and with "Dark Matter" at the helm!

—Could it be that Wuming-senpai, this "time-traveler," caused a butterfly effect?

Misaki Shokuhou was inwardly alarmed, but at present, she was truly fighting alone, with no reliable allies by her side, so she could only suppress these things in her heart, prepare to gather more information, and then make plans.

No one knew the threat of Level 5s better than Misaki Shokuhou, because she herself was the best proof.

Misaki Shokuhou hasn't been able to confirm whether she has been promoted to Level 5, but the strength she has shown is already enough to destroy the entire research institute on her own.

If she wasn't pursuing perfection, and didn't have too many concerns and things she wanted, she could have quietly shut down the "Artificial Intelligence Project" completely long ago.

Her "Mental Out" is best at this kind of thing.

Putting herself in his shoes, as a true Level 5 esper, Kakine Teitoku's "Dark Matter" is even better at direct combat, so he should also be able to destroy this research institute on his own—literally destroy it.

"If there's a head-on conflict, I'll definitely lose," Misaki Shokuhou thought, "After all, I'm not good at fighting..."

And she can't ask Wuming-senpai for help, although Wuming-senpai is very good at fighting, but Level 3 is still too far from Level 5.

Misaki Shokuhou made a decision in her heart—this time, she can't let Lin Wuming directly intervene, just like when she rescued Dolly last time, let him be on standby outside.

Because there is "Dark Matter" Kakine Teitoku among the enemies, Level 5 can only be dealt with by another Level 5.

"How annoying, the trouble is too great, why is this happening?" Feeling heavy, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

...

At Yomikawa Aiho's house, Lin Wuming put down his phone.

"'School', Kakine Teitoku... this is troublesome," Lin Wuming said to himself.

Although he was a little confused by the sudden phone call at first, after he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, he understood.

—It's Misaki Shokuhou.

Even though her voice changed, he could easily hear the style of the Queen Bee from her tone and way of speaking.

Perhaps to show her identity, Misaki Shokuhou didn't hide it in this regard.

"What's wrong with School?" Touma Kamijou asked beside him, "Don't tell me you're really going to enter that butler school like Tetsuzou-sensei said?"

"What nonsense, there's no such thing," Lin Wuming shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the name of a dark side organization called 'School'."

"Dark side? Why would they come up with such a name? It's so strange."

"Who knows," Lin Wuming said, "But after all, it's just a code name, it's not important. What's important is that the leader of 'School' is Level 5."

"I heard what you said just now, it's 'Dark Matter' Kakine Teitoku, right? I didn't expect a dignified Level 5 to actually join the dark side..."

Touma Kamijou suddenly paused, and then said, "Kakine Teitoku, will he become our enemy?"

"Maybe," Lin Wuming nodded, frowning tightly.

Because Misaki Shokuhou didn't call him personally, he still had a glimmer of hope—perhaps these were just his guesses.

After all, in the original plot, there was no dark side "School" in the "Artificial Intelligence Project" incident.

But then again, there wasn't a "time-traveler" character like himself in the original plot either.

Perhaps... no, it's highly likely that his existence led to some kind of butterfly effect, causing the development of events to exceed the original plot.

"Sigh..." He sighed deeply, "Let's prepare for the worst."

Lin Wuming calmly accepted this reality. After all, this situation was already within his expectations—from the moment he traveled to this world, the existence of "Lin Wuming" had already irreversibly changed the so-called original plot.

Because of his activities, "Kuroyoru Tech," parts of the "Artificial Intelligence Project," and illegal experimental institutions such as "Explorer" were destroyed in advance, and children such as Ryuusou Chigusa, Dolly, and Shiratsuyu Kuroko, who would have died in the original plot, survived and were saved.

"There must be gains and losses, there's no way I can have all the good things." Because he was prepared, Lin Wuming was quite calm.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the plot change would directly bring Kakine Teitoku into the mix!
