A Scientific Urban Detective

Hofun Toumi said that she was also a student who skipped grades, but it was not a problem for a twelve-year-old to be in the fifth grade, unless she had never attended school before, just like Lin Wuming now.

Combined with the scars on her face, Lin Wuming naturally judged that she was also a victim of an illegal experiment.

Noticing his gaze, Hofun Toumi shook her head and skillfully covered the right half of her cheek with her golden hair.

Lin Wuming immediately looked away. No matter how good she was at fighting, Hofun Toumi was still a girl, and it was impossible for her not to care about her appearance.

However, Hofun Toumi frowned, then flung her hair away, generously revealing her scarred face.

"Sakurai-sensei is a doctor specializing in plastic surgery," the girl said suddenly.

"I see," Lin Wuming nodded, finally understanding why Hofun Toumi was hospitalized.

No wonder she had decisively checked out of the hospital after Sakurai-sensei was injured. It turned out that her attending physician was unable to continue working.

"I remember that frog-like doctor. His medical skills are also very impressive," Lin Wuming thought for a moment and suggested.

And to be honest, Lin Wuming felt that Doctor Heaven Canceller's medical skills were definitely better than Sakurai-sensei's—even if he might not be a plastic surgeon.

Since Hofun Toumi cared so much about the scars on her face, she should just go directly to Doctor Heaven Canceller. There was no need to wait for Sakurai-sensei to recover.

"Pfft, frog-like..." Hearing Lin Wuming's description, the girl couldn't help but smile, but she still shook her head, "I know his medical skills are superb, but I only want Sakurai-sensei to perform surgery on me."

"Eh? Why?" Lin Wuming asked, following the topic.

"I only trust Sakurai-sensei," Hofun Toumi said seriously.

Then, she ate all the cake in her hand and suddenly stood up.

Grasping the hem of her T-shirt with both hands, the girl suddenly took off her clothes in Lin Wuming's surprised gaze.

Having spent some time together, Lin Wuming already knew that Hofun Toumi had a straightforward and decisive personality. But he still didn't expect her to suddenly do this.

Because it wasn't a life-threatening situation, "Bullet Time" wasn't triggered, and Lin Wuming didn't have a chance to stop her.

Even though Hofun Toumi was still a girl... No, precisely because she was still a little girl, it was even worse.

Lin Wuming immediately turned his head and closed his eyes: "What are you doing all of a sudden!"

"You're the one, what's with that reaction!" Unexpectedly, the girl also retorted unceremoniously, "Open your eyes for me. Haven't you been to a swimming pool before!"

Lin Wuming opened his eyes suspiciously, only to find that the girl was still wearing basic underwear, which, although somewhat inappropriate, was not indecent.

Just as Hofun Toumi had said just now, she was indeed developing early.

However, what attracted Lin Wuming's attention was not the already slightly undulating curves, but the hideous scars all over the girl's body.

Similar to the scars on her right cheek.

Her right half of her body was covered with scars as if it had been bombed, and many even spread to the left side of her body.

At first glance, Lin Wuming thought she was wearing a tight-fitting underwear with special patterns.

It was hard to imagine how such exaggerated scars could be left behind; and how this girl survived after suffering such terrible injuries.

"You... Did you encounter a gas explosion?" Lin Wuming asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Not gas, a landmine," Hofun Toumi replied seriously.

"Landmine? Do you mean that kind of... uh..." Lin Wuming was at a loss for words for a moment, "War equipment landmine?"

"That's right," the girl nodded, "I came to Academy City two years ago. For the previous ten years, I lived in a war-torn area—as a child soldier."

"Child soldier..."

"Yes," the girl nodded with a somewhat numb expression, "In war, people don't consider ethics. Everyone, as long as they are still alive, is some kind of war resource. Even children like us who can't even hold a gun can be useful... For example, passing through minefields."

In the absence of professional mine-clearing equipment and engineering soldiers, or simply to reduce costs, this primitive but effective method is adopted.

Those who are more particular will drive livestock through the minefield, but in the absence of humanity or even livestock, people will be asked to complete this step.

Unfortunately or fortunately, Hofun Toumi was an expert in this "work."

Because her perception was particularly keen and she was lucky enough, she was always able to survive these desperate missions time and time again, at the cost of these hideous scars all over her body.

Perhaps the commander also valued her "talent" very much, so every time she was injured, they would try their best to heal her so that she could be put into the next mission.

"Until I met Sakurai-sensei..." Hofun Toumi opened her arms, showing off her ugly body in a somewhat self-deprecating manner, but when she mentioned Sakurai-sensei, a rich emotion finally appeared on her numb face, "She went to the battlefield as an international humanitarian doctor to carry out her work, and she was the one who saved me!"

After the end of her mission cycle, Sakurai-sensei even cleared up relationships and tried to bring Hofun Toumi back to Japan. After that, Hofun Toumi showed her talent for superpowers, so she was recruited into Academy City.

"Sakurai-sensei actually came to Academy City to work in order to take care of me," Hofun Toumi said, "Her husband, Mr. Kotou, died early, so Sakurai-sensei doesn't have any children, and I don't have a mother..."

Therefore, the two of them are as close as mother and daughter. No wonder Hofun Toumi would instantly go berserk and lose her mind when she saw Sakurai-sensei being murdered.

"Sakurai-sensei said that she would make me a beautiful girl again," Hofun Toumi said, "And I only trust Sakurai-sensei!"

When other people saw her body, they would subconsciously show disgusted expressions, and then quickly turn to pity.

Although Hofun Toumi's mental will was very strong and she could ignore the eyes of others, she still had psychological shadows and would feel unhappy.

She could accept kindness, but she would never accept pity.

"I hate those women's hypocritical gazes!" Hofun Toumi said.

Although she also knew that those doctors didn't have any malice, she would always feel unhappy in her heart.

But the boy in front of her, Lin Wuming, his eyes showed surprise and panic, and even pity, but she couldn't see any disgust.

This was also why Hofun Toumi chose to be honest with him—at least, this person was not as annoying as others.

"Doctor Heaven Canceller's medical skills are indeed very impressive, and Sakurai-sensei also seems to admire him very much," Hofun Toumi said, "But he is a man, and I don't want a man to touch my body."

This was also a sequela of that unbearable experience.
