A Scientific Urban Detective

The researcher, still holding the stun gun, was locked in place by Ringo Kakei's gaze. The latter had realized his situation was dire, but he was so intimidated by the ferocity of Lin Wuming and Toumi Hachisuka, the infamous duo, that he could only stand there, knees trembling, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Wuming looking at him.

– Is this person still that worthless 'Incompetent'?

The male researcher thought.

At the same time, his hand, against his will, grabbed the stun gun and pressed it hard against his thigh.

"Ah!!!"

The intense electric shock made his whole body convulse, but held in place by telekinesis, he stood unsteadily, repeatedly pressing the stun gun against himself.

"What's that blood on her head?" Lin Wuming noticed the strands of Nagare Komazome's hair that were dyed red.

Then, he noticed the metal protrusion at the end of the stun gun, like a window breaker.

So, the male researcher raised the stun gun again and slammed the end of it hard against his own head…

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Lin Wuming was returning all the torment Nagare Komazome had suffered to this abuser.

"Lin Wuming!" Toumi Hachisuka came over, supporting Ringo Kakei.

"Sorry, it will be over soon," Lin Wuming promised.

Seeing Nagare Komazome's miserable state deeply affected Lin Wuming. In his agitation, he chose this method of revenge.

It wasn't because of anger or some sense of 'justice'; what surfaced in Lin Wuming's mind… was fear.

– If I were the one experiencing all this, what a painful and miserable experience it would be?

He knew that Lin Wuming's body was originally an experimental subject in this research institute, and such an experience was not impossible—if he hadn't awakened his superpower, if he had been captured again…

Because he was afraid that he would also suffer such cruel torture, Lin Wuming reacted so violently.

To alleviate this fear, he didn't hesitate to violate his own principles and decided to kill this abuser without thinking.

And in the most brutal way!

In the end, this was also a kind of stress reaction.

Toumi Hachisuka could understand his reaction.

"I'm not here to rush you," Toumi Hachisuka shook her head—these scum, you can torture them however you like.

Compared to the Rakshasa-like Toumi Hachisuka, Ringo Kakei was much more simple and kind.

Although she was the victim, she couldn't bear to watch the male researcher wailing and screaming in agony.

However, her kindness ended there. Children who grew up in research facilities were generally precocious, but not so naive and foolish as to plead for the researcher.

"Little Lin… Nagare Komazome, she…" Ringo Kakei hesitated.

What she really cared about was the safety of her friend Nagare Komazome. Rather than torturing bad guys, she preferred to seize the time to treat her friend.

"I know, it won't take too long," Lin Wuming promised.

With a snap, the male researcher's cervical spine was broken, finally freeing him from his pain.

Having completed his revenge, Lin Wuming looked around, searching for something that could serve as a stretcher. They needed to carefully and safely transport the seriously injured Nagare Komazome up.

"Lin Wuming!" This time, Toumi Hachisuka directly grabbed the wheelchair, turned Lin Wuming to face her, and stared straight at him. "Is this the end of your revenge?"

"Yes," Lin Wuming nodded, looking at the girl in front of him, somewhat puzzled. "The armed personnel here have all been wiped out. Later, we'll destroy the laboratory and database here, and the 'Dark May' plan can be said to be over."

Toumi Hachisuka immediately raised her eyebrows, revealing a dangerous expression, her murderous aura seeming to overflow.

Lin Wuming felt a layer of goosebumps all over his body, and couldn't help but recall the girl's terrifying nature.

"Is… is there still a problem?"

He remembered that Toumi Hachisuka had joined him this time with the goal of revenge; could it be that her revenge was not yet over?

"What are we going to do with these people?" Toumi Hachisuka pointed to the white-coated researchers behind her.

Of the thirty-seven researchers present, only the male researcher from earlier had truly been dealt with… and the unlucky Director Kinoki who had led the way at the beginning. As for the others, apart from some fright, they had not suffered any other harm.

"They don't have any power to resist or threaten us," Lin Wuming said.

"So?" The girl's eyes grew colder.

"…" Lin Wuming said, "Hand them over to the security forces and put them in prison… how about that?"

With a helpless sigh, Toumi Hachisuka reached out and stroked Lin Wuming's cheek, then ran her fingers over his earlobe to his jawline, neck…

It was as if, no, in fact, she was grabbing Lin Wuming's neck.

"Lin Wuming, when are you going to stop being so naive?" The girl's pair of emerald eyes emitted infinite power. "What do you think will happen to these people after they are arrested?"

"Even I know," Toumi Hachisuka said, "In this city, they are not criminals, but 'researchers,' so-called high-tech talents."

"Perhaps they will be temporarily imprisoned? But before long, they will be rehired. And because they have participated in plans like 'Dark May,' as experienced personnel, they will inevitably be used for the same things again…"

"I know," Lin Wuming also showed a helpless expression.

Even Toumi Hachisuka, this little girl, knew this. Lin Wuming, having "lived two lives," how could he not see it?

But this was no longer a problem he could solve alone, nor could it be solved by quickly killing a few or dozens of people.

Illegal experiments and human test subjects, these malformed existences, are the inevitable products of Academy City's special environment.

As long as various researches targeting superpower development are still being conducted, or even as long as Academy City exists, the same tragedy will be repeated again and again.

As the original work shows, even people as powerful as Level 5 espers cannot escape this fate.

"So? Because it's meaningless, you've decided to give up resisting, and let these murderers continue to run rampant, and in a few months… no, even a few weeks, start harming other children again?" Toumi Hachisuka questioned coldly.

Lin Wuming shifted his gaze, but the girl forcibly pinched his cheeks and turned his face back.

"Lin Wuming, I'm disappointed… what are you still afraid of at this point?" Toumi Hachisuka said, "Or are you unwilling to get your hands dirty? Then I'll do it!"

The ribbon in Toumi Hachisuka's other hand was stretched taut: "As long as you nod, give me an order… or are you unwilling to even give such an order?"

"No," Lin Wuming sighed deeply, "I'll do it myself…"

Closing his eyes, and then opening them, Lin Wuming had made a decision.
