A Scientific Urban Detective

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out." Ms. Komoe readily agreed to Kazakiri Hyouka's request.

"Thank you, Ms. Komoe!" Kazakiri Hyouka was also satisfied.

Regardless of Lin Wuming's purpose, at least he showed dedication and love for 'Gekota'. In that case, giving him a limited-edition Gekota series product would definitely be right.

–The most expensive won't exceed 10,000 yen. Spending this little money to make Wuming-jun happy and improve his image in everyone's eyes is really worth it!

Kazakiri Hyouka calculated in her heart.

As his guardian, she was quite worried about Lin Wuming.

The reason she cared so much about Lin Wuming's image was because rumors had been circulating again recently, and Lin Wuming's "terrifying reputation" was spreading secretly as an urban legend.

This made Kazakiri Hyouka very concerned, but she couldn't do anything about it. After all, this was just an "urban legend," and even the security forces found it difficult to stop its spread.

The worst thing was that this "urban legend" was actually true! Because it was the truth, it was even more difficult to deal with.

Especially within the security forces who knew the truth, this "urban legend" seemed to repeatedly emphasize Lin Wuming's brutality, constantly reinforcing his bad reputation.

This made Kazakiri Hyouka very worried. Some people, represented by Captain Hiya, had always been wary of Lin Wuming. Such an "urban legend" undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, so she tried her best to reverse and maintain Lin Wuming's image.

Speaking of which, Lin Wuming's "terrifying reputation" was originally only circulating among the investigators of the "Black Moon Technology" case. Due to the subsequent information blockade, it did not spread.

However, due to the commotion in front of the "Artificial Intelligence Workshop" not long ago, in order to help Lin Wuming out of the siege, and break through Kihara Gensei's collective psychological suggestion, Misaki Shokuhou also used collective psychological suggestion to strengthen the image of Lin Wuming as a "murderous maniac" in the hearts of the "Artificial Intelligence Workshop" employees.

Although this successfully scared away the crowd surrounding Lin Wuming, the side effect was that the fear of Lin Wuming and the impression of him as a "murderous maniac" were deeply rooted in people's hearts. It spread outward through those "Artificial Intelligence Workshop" staff members, and eventually reached the ears of Kazakiri Hyouka of the security forces…

–Now that's settled, a person who loves life, is good at housework, and likes Gekota should be able to dilute the unfavorable reputation on Wuming-jun, right?

Kazakiri Hyouka was feeling gratified for her efforts when suddenly her phone rang as if it had exploded.

"Kazakiri! Your Wuming classmate just moved out again, taking Tsuburi, that girl, with him, speeding in a wheelchair, super fast!"

"!" Kazakiri Hyouka was shocked and stopped abruptly in place in her excitement. "What? Again… and at this time of all times…"

The sudden emergency stop caused the person next to her, Tessou Tsuzuri, to wail, which also awakened Kazakiri Hyouka. She quickly asked, "Where did Wuming go? Which laboratory had an incident again?"

Kazakiri Hyouka, who was familiar with Lin Wuming, knew that Tsuburi Toumi would not go with him for ordinary requests, and Lin Wuming would not speed in a wheelchair in the street.

Lin Wuming always had a purpose. The last time he sped in a wheelchair was when he went to the "Artificial Intelligence Workshop"; the time before that was "Black Moon Technology"…

"Fifth District, 'Frontier Exploration Research Institute'." Captain Hiya's voice immediately came from the intercom. "Thank goodness we're monitoring his communications."

Kazakiri Hyouka immediately started the vehicle, turned on the siren, turned around in place, and sped away: "I'm going over there now!"

"That's it, patrol missions are suspended, and all available personnel immediately head to the Fifth District!" Captain Hiya ordered.

...

When Lin Wuming arrived outside the "Frontier Exploration Research Institute", he heard faint gunshots from inside the building.

"Has the fighting already started? It seems very lively." Tsuburi Toumi was more sensitive to gunshots, and her pair of emerald eyes stared straight at a certain position on the third floor of the building.

Lin Wuming followed her line of sight: "Is it there?"

"Yeah, more or less," Tsuburi Toumi nodded. "There aren't many gunmen, but their firepower is very fierce. Assault rifles? There really is a laboratory equipped with such weapons!"

It should be known that even the "Black Moon Technology" back then only had riot shotguns equipped for the armed security.

"It seems we're not too late." Tsuburi Toumi untied the ribbon on her hair and entered combat mode.

Tsurigane Saryou still miscalculated Lin Wuming's moving speed. His wheelchair was much faster than normal vehicles.

Because he didn't have to worry about traffic rules, Lin Wuming could accelerate unscrupulously, and arrived at his destination in just over ten minutes, saving half the time estimated by Tsurigane Saryou.

The research institute was located in a remote area, with no adjacent buildings and few pedestrians and vehicles passing by. Therefore, even if there were gunshots, it did not attract much attention for the time being.

Because of an accident, the research institute entered an emergency state, with doors and windows closed, and even armor plates raised to strengthen protection, turning the whole place into a fortress.

Tsuburi Toumi looked at the rapier in her hand, then at the armored fortress in front of her, and frowned.

"Wuming, how are we going to get in?"

"It's not difficult, just smash the door open." Lin Wuming said.

Lin Wuming looked around, but found that the nearby streets were clean and tidy, without even a trash can. He couldn't find a handy "weapon" at all.

Tsuburi Toumi also knew his plan: "Wuming, when we came just now, there was a truck on the side of the road…"

"I can't move something that heavy!" Lin Wuming said.

"Then you can't keep throwing your wheelchair, right?"

"Not necessarily," Lin Wuming shook his head. "I've made preparations."

Saying that, the storage box on the armrest of the wheelchair opened, and two small steel balls floated out of it.

Then, he manipulated the wheelchair to move back a distance until it was fifty meters away from the gate—this was the maximum distance that the mind power could accurately control.

A small steel ball floated in front of Lin Wuming's eyes.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Lin Wuming muttered to himself, "Railgun…"

Lin Wuming was not an Electromaster, so of course he couldn't manipulate electromagnetic force to eject metal coins like Misaka Mikoto.

But similar things were not impossible.

The "Railgun" was essentially just a means of throwing projectiles. Misaka Mikoto used her superpowers to manipulate the electromagnetic field and directly set up an acceleration track in the air, so that the metal projectiles could be continuously accelerated in the track, accumulating huge kinetic energy.

The biggest advantage of the "Railgun" was that as long as the projectile was in the electromagnetic field track, it could continue to accelerate, theoretically even reaching close to the speed of light!

For this reason, a small coin in Misaka Mikoto's hand would exert such terrifying power.

And mind power can certainly do the same thing as electromagnetism when it comes to throwing projectiles. Moreover, within the controllable range of fifty meters, Lin Wuming can also achieve continuous acceleration of the projectile!
