A Scientific Urban Detective

“I also have additional conditions.” In response, Kihara Unique also made a new request, “Lin Wu Ming—a direct participant in the rescue of the clone, he is also a hidden danger. I hope you can delete his relevant memories to prevent information from leaking from him.”

Shokuhou Misaki deliberated, she originally intended to pretend to agree, anyway, she would be the one operating it, and there was a lot of room for maneuver.

But on second thought, Academy City has more than just one esper with mental abilities. Even if others are not Level 5, they can still judge whether Wu Ming-senpai has forgotten the relevant information.

If she agreed, the other party would definitely send someone to test and check Wu Ming-senpai's memory.

At that time, the fact that she didn't delete Wu Ming-senpai's memory might be exposed; but the worst thing is that Wu Ming-senpai's identity as a 'transmigrator' might also be tested!

Rather than that, it's better to nip their intention to test Wu Ming-senpai in the bud from the beginning.

“No can do, people don’t randomly tamper with other people’s memories, especially people’s friends—this is a principle and a bottom line.” So Shokuhou Misaki flatly refused.

“Principles and bottom lines?” Kihara Unique smiled dismissively.

“Heh, even if you are from the Kihara family, you still can’t truly understand us Level 5s.” Shokuhou Misaki also sneered, “We Level 5s have already stood on the dividing line between humans and non-humans. If we don’t find something to maintain our humanity, we will become monsters.”

“Not abusing superpowers is people’s bottom line~” Shokuhou Misaki’s eyes sparkled, and she said meaningfully, “And~ Wu Ming-senpai is very bad at remembering faces. His face blindness is already hopeless. As long as you slightly change your hairstyle or clothing, he probably won’t recognize Dolly, right?”

Kihara Unique said, “Not recognizing her doesn’t mean he won’t leak secrets.”

“It seems you don’t understand him at all. Wu Ming-senpai is not interested in the rescued children,” Shokuhou Misaki shook her head and continued, “In the end, he has never visited them, has he—those children in the 'Dark May' plan? Similarly, he will not be interested in exploring the secrets of Dolly. Don't worry, people can supervise Wu Ming-senpai at any time, and once information is leaked, people will take care of the aftermath.”

Kihara Unique just nodded casually in response to her answer: “Okay, this level of willfulness is not a problem. You are Level 5, an expert and actual executor in the relevant field; anyway, no one can supervise you, so just handle it yourself.”

“But remember,” Kihara Unique earnestly instructed, “If things get out of hand, it won’t do anyone any good.”

Kihara Unique really didn't care about this, she just gave a perfunctory warning.

Because her real purpose has been achieved—the first-hand data of Level 5 'Mental Out' has indeed been collected, and she has personally experienced the effect of this superpower.

This is very valuable!

The reason why Kihara Unique volunteered to take on this task and risked coming to face Shokuhou Misaki in person was for her superpower.

—Using the name of 'Kihara' and the Board of Directors as a deterrent, coupled with appropriately releasing a trace of goodwill… is enough to ensure that Shokuhou Misaki will not directly perform forced brainwashing or mental manipulation on herself.

While maximizing her own safety, she also maximized the collection of information about the other party's ability.

This is Kihara Unique's purpose. It is also an upright scheme, even if Shokuhou Misaki sees through it, it doesn't matter—she can't abandon her superpower, and she doesn't care about Kihara Unique's data collection work.

—In the end, if 'Mental Out' was such an easily cracked superpower, Kihara Gensei, that old fellow, wouldn't be so cautious.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and the ward fell into a brief silence.

Kihara Unique took the lead in getting up, and without even saying goodbye, she walked straight out of the door and left.

“...Rude woman.” Shokuhou Misaki was stunned for a while before confirming that Kihara Unique had really left—she really just came to reach a verbal agreement?

Feeling a little absurd, but Shokuhou Misaki didn't find any other problems for a while, so she decided to discuss future countermeasures with Lin Wu Ming after returning.

The good news is that Kihara Unique and the Board of Directors she represents really have no interest in Wu Ming-senpai. Even if Wu Ming-senpai has made considerable achievements and obtained the title of 'Hero', he is still insignificant in the eyes of those real big shots who rule the city, and it is no different from children playing house.

“Well, that’s good. At least the next action should be smoother… if that woman’s promise is really effective.” Shokuhou Misaki also walked out of the ward, preparing to continue her planned itinerary.

...

“Wu Ming-kun, let’s exchange phone numbers, so we can contact each other at any time if something happens.” After finishing all the activities for today, Uiharu Kazari took out her phone and said proactively.

“Okay, no problem.” Lin Wu Ming also quickly took out his phone.

Hozuki Touma next to him didn't speak, but took the lead to come to Uiharu Kazari and showed her number first.

“Yes, yes, I’ve written it down.” Uiharu Kazari quickly completed the registration, and then called back, “This is my number…”

After the three exchanged phone numbers, when they walked out of the Judgment headquarters building, the sky outside had already turned dark. However, the street lights and neon lights on the buildings still illuminated the city at night, even more prosperous than during the day.

“Unknowingly, it’s so late…” Uiharu Kazari sighed.

After finishing the afternoon's internship patrol, the three returned to headquarters to deal with some necessary paperwork.

The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Mainly because the three of them are all newcomers, they have a lot of various forms and documents that need to be learned and filled out, which took a lot of time.

By the time all the procedures were completed, it was this time.

“Sorry, I insisted on filling out all the forms today, which is why it’s dragged on until now.” Uiharu Kazari put her hands together and took the initiative to apologize.

“It’s okay, Uiharu-kun, it’s not too late now.” Lin Wu Ming comforted.

Anyway, Yomikawa Aiho has to work the night shift today, so there is no need to rush home to make dinner, so Lin Wu Ming's time is also quite ample.

“Do you have a curfew where you live?” Uiharu Kazari asked again.

“Not really,” Lin Wu Ming shook his head, “But the building is full of security teachers. If I go back too late, it’s easy to get caught and lectured.”

“Eh? Security teachers!” Uiharu Kazari said in surprise, not knowing what she thought of, and didn't dare to continue asking, “Sure enough, it’s not good to keep you two any longer. I’ll treat you to dinner next time; it’s getting late today, so hurry home!”

Originally, according to Uiharu Kazari's plan, she also planned to invite these two new "colleagues" to have a meal together after "get off work" to deepen their relationship.

But suddenly realizing that these two are the focus of the security forces' attention, she didn't dare to act rashly.

As half a senior, she can't "corrupt" these two juniors on the first day, otherwise, the security teachers probably won't let her go...

After all, Uiharu Kazari herself has a "dark history".
