A Scientific Urban Detective

#71 - Escape without a fight

"Fight! Even if we turn the 'liquified human figure' into a hedgehog, we must carve a bloody path and take Dolly out!"

Faced with the crowd blocking his way at the door, Keisaku Kanzaki made up his mind and immediately took action.

Just then, two researchers wearing oval-shaped mental protection devices rushed over.

Keisaku Kanzaki knew they were Shokuhou Misaki's "subordinates." Not knowing why Shokuhou Misaki had sent them, he paused his preparations to launch a "do-or-die attack."

Mental protection devices were a well-known feature of "Artificial Manufactory," so the security guards on the scene did not stop them when they ran over, even making way for them.

"It's them!" One of them squeezed through the crowd and exclaimed dramatically, "'The Vicious Couple'! What are they doing here!"

"Oh no, hurry back and notify the others to evacuate," the other one responded loudly, like singing an aria, "That boy is a mass murderer! He killed hundreds of people at 'Black Moon Technologies'! How come he wasn't locked up in a juvenile detention center!"

After rushing over to take a look, the two of them turned around and ran back the way they came, shouting and yelling.

"I heard 'Black Moon Technologies' was involved in illegal experiments, so their people died for nothing. Not only was that boy not punished, but he was even interviewed on television!"

"We don't have any illegal experiments here, so why is this evil star targeting us?"

"Could it be that the other two research labs are messing around and attracted them here?"

"…"

The two of them had rather loud voices, so almost everyone clustered near the door heard their call and response.

Immediately, many people cursed inwardly—who's messing around? It's clearly your Third Research Lab that's the most suspicious, dressing up like aliens all day!

However, their conversation really woke everyone up—that's right, the young man and woman surrounded in the middle are not ordinary people. They really dare to kill!

And they have a criminal record. The rumors of 'Black Moon Technologies' haven't died down yet!

In fact, the staff at "Artificial Manufactory" all knew very well that large research institutions in Academy City were more or less related to "illegal experiments." No one could claim to be completely clean.

Although they didn't directly participate in those experiments, and theoretically shouldn't know about them, they still heard some gossip and rumors since they worked under the same roof.

Putting their hands on their hearts, no one dared to say they were really that innocent.

—Perhaps they could argue with the security forces or a judge, but the person in front of them would directly kill, and was at an age where they were easily impulsive. They probably wouldn't give anyone a chance to explain, right?

Realizing this, the crowd surrounding the door quickly dispersed, faster than when they arrived.

The research institution executives mixed in with the crowd didn't continue to stop the crowd from collapsing. Rather, they were the most eager to escape.

Ordinary employees had only heard rumors, but as core members of the project team, they had seen first-hand investigation reports, including photos of the scene.

So they had the greatest understanding of how terrifying Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi, the "Vicious Couple," were.

Moreover, they knew best that their "Artificial Manufactory" was indeed conducting "illegal experiments!"

It was a perfect collision. It wouldn't be strange if Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi blocked the door and started killing.

—Damn it, what was I thinking just now, running over to surround these two evil stars?

The crowd scattered in a panic, regretting only that they weren't running fast enough.

"What's going on?" Hu Feng Toumi drew her sword and looked around. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were empty, and not a single person was to be seen.

Being blocked at the door for several minutes had almost completely exhausted Hu Feng Toumi's patience. If Lin Wuming hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have drawn her sword long ago and skewered everyone who dared to block her way into candied haws.

"Don't worry about so much. It's a good thing that the enemy took the initiative to escape, saving us from using force," Lin Wuming said. "Go and bring Dolly out quickly."

Lin Wuming knew that Shokuhou Misaki was inside this building, so he had the patience and confidence to wait.

Sure enough, without him having to do anything, the crowd blocking the door quickly dispersed automatically.

Lin Wuming believed that this was Shokuhou Misaki's handiwork.

As a transmigrator who knew the plot of the original work, Lin Wuming even trusted her ability and strength more than Shokuhou Misaki herself at this point in time.

Inside the door, the security forces trying to forcibly capture Dolly also fled together—after all, the security forces had the highest mortality rate in the "Black Moon Technologies" case.

The rest of the way was unimpeded. Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi entered the room and saw Dolly and Keisaku Kanzaki.

The situation took another unexpected turn. Keisaku Kanzaki hadn't reacted yet, and was stunned in place with an incredulous expression.

Lin Wuming came to the side of the stretcher, stood up, and looked at the tea-haired girl lying on the stretcher.

The latest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!

"I finally saw the real person…" he couldn't help but sigh.

Although it wasn't Misaka Mikoto herself, it was also the zeroth Misaka Sister, which could be considered fulfilling a wish to some extent.

"Lin Wuming, do you know this girl?" Hu Feng Toumi asked.

"Academy City's third-ranked Level 5, the strongest Electromaster," Lin Wuming said. "I only know this much information… I barely know her, I guess?"

"No, that can't be considered knowing her at all!" Hu Feng Toumi retorted, a relaxed smile on her face. "But how could a dignified Level 5 end up in this state?"

"Probably because she's not the original," Lin Wuming said. "The name Dolly is already a clear indication."

However, Hu Feng Toumi, who grew up in a war-torn area, didn't seem to have grasped the biological common sense of "the name of the world's first cloned sheep."

She didn't dwell on it, but pushed the stretcher: "This child's condition is very bad. We must send her to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible!"

"Yes, please save Dolly!" Keisaku Kanzaki came back to his senses and also pushed the stretcher out.

At this time, the follow-up main force finally arrived.

In addition to the police cars with flashing lights, there were also many ambulances—this was prepared in advance by the security teachers who were worried that there would be another fierce conflict here.

A convoy of more than twenty police cars of different specifications and five ambulances drove in mightily.

At the same time, seeing the ambulances arriving, Lin Wuming and the others also pushed the stretcher towards the road.

Seeing the wheelchair at the entrance of "Artificial Manufactory," the first car in the convoy suddenly skidded to a stop, and Yomiikawa Aiho opened the door and rushed down.

"Wuming, Hu Feng! Are you alright!" Yomiikawa Aiho looked at her two wards with concern.
