A Scientific Urban Detective

Following the sound, Misaki Shokuhou walked on. Although she was heading to another laboratory that had nothing to do with her, she encountered no obstacles along the way. Whether it was the Third Research Lab “Internal Evolution” where she belonged, or the Second Research Lab “Ideal Ability” across from it, even if staff members passed by, they seemed not to see her, walking straight past.

After taking some time, Misaki Shokuhou finally arrived at her destination.

In a specially reinforced training ground, a girl was wildly swinging her fists and feet, as if practicing martial arts. However, her movements were disorganized, like an ordinary child imitating martial arts moves from TV, appearing somewhat clumsy and stiff... if one ignored the commotion caused by her "martial arts".

Each of the girl's punches and kicks stirred up gusts of wind, literally "gusts of wind." Even Misaki Shokuhou, standing outside the door, could hear the whistling sounds coming from the training ground.

Yunko Fūhō was like a human-shaped storm!

The hard armor plates laid on the ground and surrounding walls would undergo violent, visible deformation with even the slightest touch from her hands and feet, even shattering directly!

The researchers present kept their distance, not daring to approach easily.

Before seeing it with her own eyes, Misaki Shokuhou could never have imagined that a girl's slender hands and feet could unleash such terrifying power!

No wonder the vibrations and noise produced by this experiment could even be transmitted to the neighboring buildings.

However, different from the image in Lin Wuming's memory intelligence, the girl in front of her had two braided pigtails and wore goggles to prevent flying debris from injuring her eyes, making her look somewhat rustic. If one ignored her earth-shattering strength, her first impression was that of a kind and amiable country girl.

The human-shaped storm did not rage for too long before suddenly stopping without warning—the girl in the arena collapsed to the ground, groaning uncontrollably.

The researchers nearby were not surprised by this, and skillfully pushed a stretcher forward to deal with the situation.

Seeing Yunko Fūhō's painful appearance, a few images suddenly flashed through Misaki Shokuhou's mind. Although they were only short, incomplete fragments, there was indeed this image of Yunko Fūhō in Lin Wuming's memory intelligence...

Misaki Shokuhou knew what she had to do.

She walked forward as if no one else was there, telling the people surrounding the stretcher to step back. She came to Yunko Fūhō and looked down at the girl who was closing her eyes and trying to endure the pain.

Misaki Shokuhou knew that Yunko Fūhō's current symptoms were side effects caused by excessive ability activation, manifested as severe headaches.

Coincidentally, this was exactly the symptom she could handle.

“Although it can only be temporarily relieved...” Misaki Shokuhou leaned down and gently touched the forehead of the strange yet familiar girl in front of her with her own forehead.

—Just like the scene in the memory intelligence.

“Eh?” The sudden relief from the headache made Yunko Fūhō feel somewhat unaccustomed.

Opening her eyes, she saw the face of another girl close at hand.

“Eh?!!!” After being stunned for two seconds, Yunko Fūhō, finally regaining her senses, shot straight up from the stretcher like a rocket, distancing herself from Misaki Shokuhou. “D-d-don’t… don’t come near me! The power inside me will tear you apart!”

Misaki Shokuhou was startled and couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't pay too much attention to Yunko Fūhō's reaction.

“You… you need to cherish your body more. Don’t be so reckless and push yourself so hard!” Misaki Shokuhou's expression was somewhat dazed. “After all… even you yourself will be someone else’s possession in the future.”

“Eh? What… what are you talking about?” Yunko Fūhō asked疑惑ly. “Are you… Misaki Shokuhou from the Third Research Lab?”

Misaki Shokuhou waved the remote control in her hand, without explaining, and turned to leave.

The researchers nearby then surrounded her. “Yunko Fūhō, are you alright?”

“Eh? How… how did you recover so quickly this time?”

No one noticed Misaki Shokuhou, who had already walked out of the laboratory.

Yunko Fūhō had a strange feeling, opened her mouth, but didn't know what else to say.

Noticing the researchers gathering around, she quickly waved her arms to stop them from approaching. “Don’t come any closer, my power will hurt you!”

Hearing the girl's cry in the laboratory, Misaki Shokuhou narrowed her eyes slightly, her bright star-like eyes seeming to really shine.

“Verification… successful. At least this part of Lin Wuming's memory intelligence is true!” Misaki Shokuhou licked her lips, a flame rising in her heart. “Then… can the other parts also be considered true? Still need to continue to verify…”

“Also,” Misaki Shokuhou walked forward while pondering, “The last contact only saw a portion of the intelligence, still need to find another opportunity to meet with Lin Wuming~”

——First, go and build a good relationship with those children in the Second Research Lab.

Misaki Shokuhou thought in her heart——Also, Miyama Aiyu. After I snatched her opportunity for promotion, she seems to often run to the Second Research Lab, also slightly~ get along with her.

……

On the other side, Lin Wuming followed Koumori Teitoku to her residence, which was located on the thirteenth floor of Building Two of the “Family Side,” an apartment complex exclusively for security guards in the Seventh District. As a single woman's residence, the 4LDK apartment was quite spacious and luxurious.

According to Koumori Teitoku's introduction, this apartment also served as a real-world architectural experiment, and had signed cooperation agreements with many universities and research institutes, so the rent was heavily discounted; moreover, the various security systems in the building were also unreleased verification versions of new products, which would be replaced irregularly.

Therefore, even local residents might not be able to figure out what types and models of security devices were installed in the apartment.

In terms of security, it was simply impeccable.

Not only that, but in fact, even the indoor furniture and appliances were many of the latest models developed by various research institutes, specifically placed in the apartment to collect user experience.

“To put it bluntly,” entering the room, Koumori Teitoku pointed to the high-tech equipment in the room and said, “Our situation and your previous situation are not essentially different, we are all just acting as ‘guinea pigs’ for those research institutes.”

Lin Wuming didn't care so much. “The entire Academy City is a super huge laboratory, there's nothing to worry about.”

“That's true.” Koumori Teitoku nodded, she wasn't the kind of person who would care about details. “In short, from today onwards, this is your home, Wuming-kun. Don't be reserved, please enjoy your new life!”

“Yes, please take care of me from now on.” Lin Wuming sat in his wheelchair and bowed slightly to her.
