A Scientific Urban Detective

At the instant she pressed the remote control and activated "Mental Out", Misaki Shokuhou finally personally experienced the world within Lin Wuming's consciousness – the world in a "bullet time" super-accelerated state.

It was impossible to objectively describe whether it was fast or slow, and even more impossible to describe whether Lin Wuming perceived it as an instant or an endless expanse… "Time" itself had lost its meaning, becoming an existence beyond human reason and understanding.

Under the "pollution" of such indescribable perception and feeling, "Mental Out's" self-preservation instinct was triggered, and Misaki Shokuhou subconsciously severed the mental link with Lin Wuming.

Then she lost consciousness and fell backward.

Seeing this, Mikoto Misaka and Tomitsu Hachisu quickly reached out to support her.

Lin Wuming had not yet woken up, but Misaki Shokuhou had fainted again, causing chaos at the scene.

Fortunately, after the doctor's diagnosis, Misaki Shokuhou was just in a normal coma and would recover after a good rest.

This relieved the other girls, and they hurriedly put Misaki Shokuhou on the nearby hospital bed.

"How is Shokuhou?"

At this moment, Lin Wuming's voice sounded in the air.

People looked towards the treatment pod, where Lin Wuming, who was immersed in energy fluid, had already opened his eyes.

Because he was in the liquid, Lin Wuming couldn't speak normally.

However, he used his Nen ability to vibrate the air, making his voice heard.

"Wuming-senpai!" Mikoto Misaka released Misaki Shokuhou and rushed towards the treatment pod, "You're finally awake!"

"Yes, I'm awake," Lin Wuming replied in a calm tone, without the slightest hint of having just recovered from a serious illness, "It seems I've been unconscious for a very long time."

"Not too long, about a week," Tomitsu Hachisu said, "I'll inform Yomikawa-sensei right away, she's also very worried about you."

Lin Wuming nodded, not having time to check his physical condition, and asked again, "What's wrong with Misaki Shokuhou?"

"To wake you up, she seemed to enter your consciousness and do something," Hound Dog explained, "But I don't know what happened, the result was that she suddenly lost consciousness and fainted."

"I see," Lin Wuming immediately guessed the reason, "She did successfully wake me up, without her, I'm afraid I would have been unconscious for who knows how long…"

"Will Misaki-chan be okay?" Yuri Chiya asked from the side.

"With her ability, she should be fine," Lin Wuming said, "She just saw some… phenomena that exceed the common sense of reality."

Although Lin Wuming was clear about what had happened to him, he couldn't describe it in words. Even if he did, most people probably wouldn't believe it, and the people who would believe it were probably the mad scientists of the Kihara family… that would be even worse.

After a pause, Lin Wuming continued, "Let me out first, and then, if it's convenient, tell me what happened in the past week."

After such a long "thinking" in the world of thought, Lin Wuming also guessed the truth of the attack on him.

——"Atom Smasher", FIVE_Over.

Because the last thing he saw at the scene of the ruins was a powered suit, not Mugino Shizuri herself.

In that case, it was not difficult for Lin Wuming to guess that he was being targeted again, and it was likely the same group of people who hired the "Bio-Era" snipers to assassinate him last time, and who attacked Tomitsu Hachisu afterwards.

Although there was no direct evidence yet, Lin Wuming felt that the mastermind was the "Level 6 Shift Project"!

After all, besides them, Lin Wuming felt that he hadn't offended anyone else recently – Shunsen Kutsugi had already been caught.

Since they had already dispatched a powerful weapon like FIVE_Over, Lin Wuming was very worried that they would do other more drastic things – such as attacking the people around him.

Like the last time they attacked Tomitsu Hachisu.

Even in the real world, a week of unconsciousness was already a long time, long enough for anything to happen.

Because he saw Tomitsu Hachisu, Misaki Shokuhou, and Mikoto Misaka were all here, Lin Wuming was slightly relieved, but he was still worried about the situation of others.

"Don't worry, Wuming-senpai," Mikoto Misaka said, "Everyone is fine. Rather, now is the time for us to launch a major counterattack and find trouble with others."

When Lin Wuming came out of the treatment pod, washed up, and ate his first meal in the past few days, he finally learned from the girls' narration what had happened since he had been unconscious.

"In other words," Lin Wuming frowned as he ate, "The retaliatory actions you have taken these days are not essentially different from the revenge I carried out half a year ago because Hachisu was attacked – although the momentum is huge and the results seem remarkable, they have not touched the root."

"This…" Mikoto Misaka hesitated, "But Shokuhou-san said that we have reached the limit and attacked all the targets that can be attacked!"

"Shokuhou-san said that, I understand." Lin Wuming nodded.

Misaki Shokuhou meant that the targets that Mikoto Misaka could reasonably attack had been attacked. The next "revenge" should be completed by Lin Wuming himself.

After all, in name, their actions this past week were revenge for Lin Wuming being attacked and assassinated.

Although Misaki Shokuhou had quietly stuffed a lot of private goods into it – including some related facilities of the "Mass Production Ability User Project" into the scope of the attack, she couldn't make it too obvious.

The main thing was that there was no way to directly explain it to Mikoto Misaka, let alone explain it to the Anti-Skill forces.

These kinds of things could only be done with the help of Lin Wuming's reputation – such as acting first and reporting later, and suddenly raiding a seemingly harmless research institution.

The reputation Lin Wuming had accumulated in the early stage, and the persona he had built up, were to play a role at this time.

"How is Shokuhou's condition?" Lin Wuming was also very clear about his role, so he asked again. If possible, he still wanted to communicate with Misaki Shokuhou directly.

Just like how Misaki Shokuhou liked to come to Lin Wuming to "refresh" her memory and information, Lin Wuming also relied on the real-time information Misaki Shokuhou had – information exchange was secondary, it was more about seeking a certain certainty, that is, seeking peace of mind.

"The doctor said there is nothing serious, but I am afraid she will not wake up for a while," Tomitsu Hachisu said, "Wuming, what terrible things are in your brain?"

"Nothing." Lin Wuming shook his head, "It's hard to explain in words."

After eating a long-awaited proper meal, Lin Wuming didn't stop and was ready to leave the hospital in his wheelchair.

The things that should be done still had to be done. Since Misaki Shokuhou couldn't wake up for a while, there was no need to delay any longer. Time was of the essence.

In fact, when Misaki Shokuhou woke up Lin Wuming, she had already sent the information she had investigated to his brain. Even if there was no way to directly communicate with her, it would not affect the next action.

Lin Wuming already knew which places to go to for "personal revenge"!
