A Scientific Urban Detective

Sha Dan Shan had no intention of hiding anything. Since she had chosen to attend Shokuhou Misaki's tea party, she was mentally prepared to share information.

Yesterday, Sha Dan Shan learned from Director Sherbin's dying "words" that the person who ultimately took away Wu Lin Ye Xiao was someone named "Kihara GenX."

Lin Wuming immediately thought of the name "Kihara Gensei" and blurted it out subconsciously.

At the time, Sha Dan Shan, who was emotionally agitated, was already flustered. Upon hearing this name, she didn't bother to think too much and turned to run out, searching for Kihara Gensei.

Fortunately, Kihara Gensei was a very famous scientist, highly respected in the scientific community, and with high exposure.

Information and intelligence about him could be said to be the easiest to find among all the "Kihara."

Sha Dan Shan successfully found Kihara Gensei's research institute through internet searches.

Then she went straight to the door.

Although her actions were rushed this time due to the suddenness of the matter, and she didn't have time to prepare too many "tokens," Sha Dan Shan couldn't bother with so much. It was even more impossible for her to suppress her impatience and go back to make thorough preparations before investigating.

Moreover, the "tokens" hidden in the belly of the panda doll were already enough to cope with most situations.

With just one coin and a remote control, Sha Dan Shan could recklessly invade most places.

Including this research center belonging to the "Kihara" name.

Just as Sha Dan Shan had expected, she successfully infiltrated the research center, almost effortlessly.

However, it was not until she went deep into the building that Sha Dan Shan belatedly noticed—there were pitifully few people here.

It was clearly still a working day, but along the way, she hadn't encountered a single living person.

The lights in the corridors were also turned off, completely giving the impression that it was already "closed."

Just as Sha Dan Shan was wondering if the research center was on holiday today, she suddenly noticed someone approaching…

It was a young woman in a white coat, seemingly a researcher here.

Having finally encountered a living person, Sha Dan Shan certainly wasn't going to let her go, so she prepared to go forward and inquire about information.

Possessing the remote control, she had no scruples and appeared openly, walking towards the female researcher head-on.

"You are… a student?" The female researcher also seemed startled, looking at Sha Dan Shan with suspicion, "Why are you here?"

Sha Dan Shan ignored her and directly raised the remote control, aiming it at her.

Although she didn't know what this suddenly appearing female student was going to do, it seemed like she was about to activate some kind of superpower, so Kiyama Harumi vigilantly sidestepped behind the corner of the corridor.

Sha Dan Shan clicked her tongue inwardly, because it was indirect use of "Mental Out," Shokuhou Misaki's phantom sight was blocked by the wall corner, causing the ability to miss.

She chased after a few steps, preparing to continue activating her superpower.

Just then, alarms suddenly blared in the corridor.

Sha Dan Shan believed that the female security guard had actively triggered the alarm device, so she took the initiative to attack even more aggressively, wanting a quick resolution.

However, a strange "noise" suddenly rang out, and Shokuhou Misaki's phantom beside her dissipated very simply.

Accompanied by a severe headache and dizziness, Sha Dan Shan staggered, falling to the ground with great unwillingness, gradually losing consciousness…

"Damn… careless… this kind of place… jamming device…"

In her fading consciousness, Sha Dan Shan saw the female researcher reappearing, walking towards her.

……

When she regained her consciousness again, gradually waking up, Sha Dan Shan instantly became alert.

She didn't feel bound, and there didn't seem to be the "noise" of the "AIM diffusion field interference device" in her ears.

Her situation… was actually not bad?

Sha Dan Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief and cautiously opened her eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling.

Nearby, there was the sound of intense keyboard tapping—was it that woman?

Sha Dan Shan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman sitting in front of a computer, writing something, with her back to her.

What was more concerning was that the woman was wearing a strangely shaped helmet on her head, with cables extending out from the helmet, connected to a machine next to it.

"You're awake?" Without turning her head, the female researcher seemed to be able to see behind her, "There are energy drinks on the cabinet next to the bed, drink it."

Sha Dan Shan didn't move.

"Although you fainted because of the jamming device, you also have symptoms of hypoglycemia." Kiyama Harumi turned around, "You should take better care of your body, Sha Dan Shan."

The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shūbā!

Seeing that the other party could call out her name, Sha Dan Shan wasn't surprised. Her identity wasn't a secret, and as the leader of the Sha Faction, she was quite famous, often giving media interviews because of her enthusiasm for charity.

As long as you search online a little, you can recognize her.

Picking up the drink on the bedside table, Sha Dan Shan suddenly acted, throwing the drink bottle out, trying to launch an attack in the process.

However, the drink bottle failed to break free as desired, and even seemed to be firmly glued to her hand.

And Sha Dan Shan herself felt suppressed on the bed by an inexplicable force, unable to get up!

"Calm down, Sha Dan Shan." Kiyama Harumi said calmly as she turned around, "We are not enemies."

—It's psychic power!

Sha Dan Shan was no stranger to this feeling.

"Are you a psychic?" Sha Dan Shan couldn't help but ask.

Her panda doll and other "tokens" had been taken away by the other party and were not by her side; but Sha Dan Shan had still decided to launch a surprise attack just now, because she was sure that the other party was unprepared and couldn't possibly be an esper.

—Because this female researcher was clearly an adult.

But she didn't expect that she was actually a psychic.

But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. Academy City has been established for so long, and it's normal for the early espers to grow up and become "capable adults."

However, based on inertia, people will still subconsciously think—adults cannot be espers.

"No." Unexpectedly, Kiyama Harumi shook her head in denial, "I am not an esper, I am just an ordinary person."

Kiyama Harumi didn't hide anything, she pointed to the strange helmet she was wearing: "This, I named it the 'Ability Manifestation' device. The psychic power I exert is achieved through this device, simulating the AIM diffusion field fluctuations of a psychic."

After saying that, Kiyama Harumi released the psychic power that was suppressing Sha Dan Shan. This was actually her way of demonstrating her strength—in order to allow Sha Dan Shan, this level 4 esper, to listen to her properly and avoid unnecessary fighting.
