A Scientific Urban Detective

Faced with the complaint relayed by Yun Chuanqian, Lin Wuming was speechless. After all, it came directly from Misaka Mikoto's alma mater, so there was no way to refute it…

"But that's not the main reason." Unexpectedly, Yun Chuanqian changed the subject, "After all, Misaka Mikoto didn't just start doing this. Do you know why it suddenly attracted attention now?"

"Because as time goes by, the accumulated cases increase, so naturally more people pay attention to it?" Lin Wuming guessed casually.

"Stupid! Slow!" Yun Chuanqian reprimanded unceremoniously, "How could it be because of this reason? You still haven't adapted to your position, student Lin Wuming."

"You have to remember, student Lin Wuming, as long as we are willing, we can seal the information with a single order—even if Misaka Mikoto eliminates all the delinquents in Academy City, it won't attract any attention!"

Lin Wuming did not doubt that the girl in front of him had this ability: "So why is it?"

With another long sigh, Yun Chuanqian looked over at him with disappointment: "Student Lin Wuming, you, this hands-off shopkeeper, must not have read the report given to you by Yun Chuanju, right?"

Having expected this scene, Yun Chuanqian directly threw out the tablet she brought: "After a year of specialized training, the 'Sisters' have initially acquired the basic qualities to integrate into social life, so starting from the beginning of this month, they have begun to go out in batches."

According to the curriculum training plan, 10,000 Misaka Sisters are divided into several groups and dispersed in batches to conduct "social practice."

Through the meticulous planning of the Misaka Network, it is ensured that only 500 to 1,300 Misaka Sisters are active outside at any time, and they are scattered in different corners of various school districts in Academy City.

In this way, even if they all have the same face and wear the same clothes, they will not attract people's attention.

Even if two or three Misaka Sisters occasionally appear in the same place, people will only think they are "biological sisters" and will not associate them with "replicas."

This distribution density is carefully designed to ensure maximum efficiency while preserving the secret of the "Misaka Sisters."

The premise is that they don't do anything too eye-catching—like, massively attacking delinquent groups…

But now, although the Sisters are abiding by the rules and obediently carrying out "social practice" according to the requirements of the course, they can't stand the fact that one Misaka is too active.

Misaka Mikoto's activities of cracking down on delinquent teenagers have subtly produced a linkage effect with the "social practice" of the Misaka Sisters, and have been accidentally noticed by the citizens.

The only thing worth celebrating is that so far it is Misaka Mikoto who has been exposed, not the "replicas", which is relatively easier to explain.

However, this has also sounded the alarm, after all, no one knows when someone will notice the existence of the Misaka Sisters.

Therefore, Yun Chuanqian came specifically to remind Lin Wuming.

"Okay, I know the situation." Lin Wuming nodded and said, while also sighing in his heart—as expected of Misaka Mikoto, she really hasn't changed at all.

But the good news is that the current Misaka Mikoto is not as obsessed with "challenging the strong"—specifically, "Imagine Breaker" Touma Kamijou—as she was in the original work.

The proof is that last night, no area in the seventh school district experienced a major power outage.

"I'll contact Misaka Mikoto right away and advise her. Is there anything else here?" Lin Wuming asked.

"No, just take care of your Misaka Mikoto." Yun Chuanqian reiterated and emphasized again, then shrugged, "I wish you a pleasant summer vacation."

"I hope so." Lin Wuming didn't have much hope for this.

Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl Magnus have already arrived in Academy City, and calculating the time, Index should also be making her debut today.

The plot of the first volume of the original story has finally begun…

Just thinking about the timeline from now on, Lin Wuming felt a burst of suffocation.

The only good news is—those are all events that Touma Kamijou needs to face, and he only needs to watch silently from the sidelines, and at most help out when necessary.

Leaving the Judgment office, Lin Wuming looked up at the sun that had almost risen to its highest point, thought for a while, and turned to walk towards the school cafeteria.

Although today is already the first day of summer vacation, Aiho Yomikawa still needs to work overtime as always, and the girls all have their own arrangements, so there is no one at home now, and everyone has only agreed to have dinner together in the evening.

So, Lin Wuming planned to be a little lazy for today's lunch and solve it in the school cafeteria.

On the way to the cafeteria, he called Misaka Mikoto to ask about her recent activities.

It's a pity that the call didn't go through.

"Could it be that she is in the middle of a fierce battle?" Lin Wuming muttered.

When Misaka Mikoto is violently discharging electricity, she will generate a strong electromagnetic field, at which time her mobile phone will not receive a signal.

So, Lin Wuming turned to dial Last Order, asking her to help find Misaka Mikoto's whereabouts.

Last Order commands 10,000 Misaka Sisters in Academy City. Because of "social practice", hundreds or thousands of Misaka Sisters are active everywhere in Academy City at all times, making them the best informants.

Last Order was not in the Family Side girls' dormitory at this time either. Unable to bear the loneliness, she would run outside whenever she had the opportunity.

Fortunately, nowadays the "residential areas" of the Misaka Sisters are also spread throughout various school districts in Academy City—the Board of Directors came forward and generously allocated nearly two hundred idle facilities of various sizes to the "Misaka Corps" as bases.

In order to cultivate the personality of each Misaka Sister, these bases are also designed in different styles and themes.

Last Order's favorite thing to do now is to visit and play in different bases, just like going to different themed amusement parks.

Today, Last Order is in a "Misaka House" not far from Family Side, with more than eighty Misaka Sisters living there, which is a very lively place.

Last Order and the Misaka Sisters responded positively to the request made by Lin Wuming, seemingly treating "finding Big Sister" as a game, and all the Misaka Sisters in the entire base were dispatched to start searching…

Because it was an order issued by the highest command tower, the Misaka Network actively made adjustments and re-planned today's "social practice" courses to prevent these Misaka Sisters who were planning to go out from being noticed by ordinary citizens.

"I always feel like they're having a lot of fun over there," Lin Wuming muttered to himself as he put away his phone.

But he didn't care too much about them.

Nowadays, the Misaka Sisters are able to take care of themselves. Just like Yun Chuanqian evaluated, Lin Wuming has indeed become a hands-off shopkeeper…
