A Scientific Urban Detective

Within “Talent Manufacturing Factory,” Kakine Teitoku's plan was an open strategy, not kept secret from the executives. Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou naturally obtained this information.

Based on this, Misaki Shokuhou went a step further, she was also inciting the researchers to implement the experimental plan—she wanted to play it for real, not a simulated experiment for “luring the enemy deep,” but a real experiment on "Ideal Ability."

Thanks to the urgent preparations over the past three days, all preparations for the final experiment have been completed, basically meeting the minimum requirements.

Forcing it to proceed wasn't impossible. It's just that the success rate of the experiment would be ridiculously low, and Shunsa Domyouji would never agree to such a thing.

But this was the effect Misaki Shokuhou wanted. She didn't hesitate to add fuel to the fire, pushing the experiment to the extreme—thereby exposing the essence of the "illegal experiment" in advance, making Lin Wuming's intrusion reasonable.

Thus, around the rationality of Lin Wuming's intrusion, Kakine Teitoku and Misaki Shokuhou successively slammed on the accelerator, speeding up the "Ideal Ability" all the way to the final step.

This was also the reason for the argument between Mayuri Mitsuari and Misaki Shokuhou just now—to persuade Mayuri Mitsuari to cooperate with her, Misaki Shokuhou revealed her plan completely.

Misaki Shokuhou's plan had considerable risks, and the cost was the lives of the girls who were the experimental subjects.

Misaki Shokuhou must possess sufficiently strong confidence and control to ensure that the plan proceeds according to her design.

Even knowing that she was a powerful Level 5, Mayuri Mitsuari still couldn't accept this behavior of gambling with her friends' safety as chips.

Misaki Shokuhou didn't explain too much to Mayuri Mitsuari—because she and this girl had not yet established the kind of relationship where they could trust each other, and explanations and persuasion through words alone were meaningless.

To put it bluntly, Misaki Shokuhou didn't dare to fully trust Mayuri Mitsuari; as one of her kind, no one knew better than Misaki Shokuhou herself how untrustworthy someone who was accustomed to manipulating people's hearts could be.

Similarly, she didn't expect Mayuri Mitsuari to understand and trust her.

And the biggest reason why Misaki Shokuhou risked pushing for the final experiment of "Ideal Ability" was that she wanted to pursue a perfect ending.

As a Level 5 esper, as a "prophet" who had seen the plot of the original work, as the guardian of these children, the future members of her faction, Misaki Shokuhou demanded that she must be perfect.

She wanted to save everyone here, leaving no regrets, and not giving up on anyone.

Including Yuuri Chiyo.

In the Second Research Lab, there was a girl who had never appeared in front of everyone—Yuuri Chiyo.

Because she suffered from a serious illness, she could only stay in her own private room all day long and couldn't move around freely.

But Yuuri Chiyo and her superpower "Astral Buddy" were the true core of the entire project. The research on "Ideal Ability" was all centered around Yuuri Chiyo.

In Lin Wuming's memory information, Misaki Shokuhou had seen the plot content of the “Phantom Sisters” arc. So she knew that "Ideal Ability" was the key to saving Yuuri Chiyo.

Unlike Shunsa Domyouji's plan, he wanted to obtain a complete "superpower", and the requirements were naturally more stringent.

But what Misaki Shokuhou wanted was just to "cure Yuuri Chiyo". To her, "Ideal Ability" was more like a powerful but one-time "wishing machine."

The difficulty of achieving it was undoubtedly much lower.

Besides, what Misaki Shokuhou needed wasn't to complete the "Ideal Ability" experiment immediately. In this operation, what she really wanted was to collect data and accumulate experience.

It didn't matter even if the experiment failed. What was important was to observe the entire process of the experiment with her own eyes.

As long as she grasped these key information and research data, she could completely recreate this experiment with her own power after destroying "Talent Manufacturing Factory."

Just like in the original plot, she could develop "Indian Poker" herself and re-conduct the "Ideal Ability" experiment to cure Yuuri Chiyo's illness...

Of course, there was no need to reveal these things to the enemy.

Kakine Teitoku only needed to know that the current development of the situation was in line with his expectations!

Misaki Shokuhou stuck to the wall, moving sideways little by little.

On the corridor in front of her, the pure white humanoid finally completed its shaping. It strode away with its fixed feet, its speed increasing a lot.

Misaki Shokuhou tightly gripped the remote control, but didn't aim it at the humanoid in front of her.

Because that wasn't Kakine Teitoku himself, and "Mental Out" couldn't directly affect this clone.

“You're really cunning. The dignified 'Dark Matter' actually doesn't dare to show his true face...” Misaki Shokuhou forced herself to remain calm, while constantly probing with words.

“You're also a Level 5, 'Mental Out'. We are existences of the same level. This degree of caution is precisely a sign of valuing you.” The pure white humanoid trembled the air as it spoke.

Misaki Shokuhou narrowed her eyes, trying to eliminate the interference of these "noises." A pair of starry eyes shone brightly.

“Ah, finally~ caught you!”

Everything has traces. In the eyes of Misaki Shokuhou, who possessed the superpower "Mental Out," the so-called "traces" were "memory information."

Not only humans, but in fact, animals, plants, and even inorganic matter and the natural environment also have their "memories"—usually the information attached to them.

Through her superpower, Misaki Shokuhou could see those information like a "flashback."

It was because she realized that her superpower could do this kind of thing that Misaki Shokuhou dared to confirm that she might have become a Level 5.

The reason she discovered Kakine Teitoku's clone hidden on the floor just now was because she saw new "memory information."

However, this kind of operation was limited to “reading information” and could not operate on these information—and operating on these information was meaningless.

During the conversation just now, Misaki Shokuhou had been reading the memory information attached to the pure white humanoid, trying to find Kakine Teitoku's location.

Her efforts worked, and the results were better than she expected—she directly "touched" Kakine Teitoku's mind...

Because the clone used a "wired connection"—under its feet, there was a "cable" directly connected to Kakine Teitoku's main body hidden in the dark.

Because of this, Kakine Teitoku could have a real-time conversation with Misaki Shokuhou like this.

The essence of this cable transmission was a kind of "memory information."

Misaki Shokuhou found it, read it, and then tracked it, finally finding Kakine Teitoku's main body all the way.
