A Scientific Urban Detective

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to see me, but...

The sudden turn of Akimi Erika's head to look at her made Misaki Shokuhou's heart jump, but she quickly realized that Akimi Erika could never see her, but he could deduce her position and movements from the details of the surrounding environment.

With the brainpower of a Level 5, as long as you have a little bit of decent observation skills, it's not difficult to do this...

Suppressing the tension in her heart, Misaki Shokuhou moved to the side as gently as possible.

She wasn't very scared, but instead felt a sense of relief.

"Finally, something is unfolding according to what I expected..." Misaki Shokuhou muttered softly, quickening her pace and running towards the other end of the corridor.

"If you really couldn't detect my position, that would be a headache." Misaki Shokuhou became a little bolder and shouted, "Hey, come and chase me!"

The air vibrated, and Akimi Erika keenly captured the details, looking up at the corridor.

"Good~ Good~ Don't launch a large-scale attack casually, be sure to come after me personally..." Misaki Shokuhou continued to run forward.

Although she was not good at fighting, Misaki Shokuhou also had her own goals and pursuits.

She wanted to lure the enemy's strongest combat power away from the battlefield, so he wouldn't interfere with Lin Wuming and Maya Awaki.

"This is all I can do, I'll leave the rest to you, Wuming-senpai!" Misaki Shokuhou prayed in her heart, "And Maya Awaki, just this once, please be safe and sound!"

The chase between Level 5s began.

Misaki Shokuhou sacrificed the chance to directly harm Akimi Erika, using her only strong psychological suggestion to create the effect of "psychological stealth."

Akimi Erika prepared himself, protecting his mind, no longer easily disturbed by "Mental Out", and then inferred Misaki Shokuhou's whereabouts by observing the clues in the environment.

Misaki Shokuhou used this point to deliberately create false clues to mislead the other party, and incidentally make up for her lack of mobility...

The chase progressed slowly but methodically.

If there was a third person on the scene who saw this scene from an observer's perspective, they would definitely think that these two people were playing a game of hide-and-seek, right?

And it was still the most clumsy version - Akimi Erika turned a blind eye to the girl who was always swaying in front of him, repeatedly missing and hitting the attack in the wrong direction.

It looked like an older brother playing with his younger sister...

But only the parties involved knew the danger involved.

Especially Misaki Shokuhou felt it the most, because she was indeed "dancing on the tip of a knife", and if she was not careful, she would be hit by "Dark Matter" - with her frail body, even if she only took one hit, she would be either dead or injured.

But Misaki Shokuhou also knew very well that Akimi Erika was not serious, the other party was just testing, or "playing" with her.

Otherwise, with the ability of "Dark Matter", he could have used a large-scale carpet bombing attack to turn everything around into powder - she would definitely not be able to avoid such an attack.

But on the other side, Akimi Erika was also wary of Misaki Shokuhou's "Mental Out."

Unlike most superpowers that are straightforward and can be directly used in battle, psychological and mental superpowers are too secretive and strange, making them really hard to guard against.

Even if Akimi Erika had taken countermeasures against psychological interference, he couldn't be sure that it was really foolproof.

After all, the other party was also a Level 5, and it wouldn't be worthy of the Level 5 rank if they could be restrained so easily.

Therefore, the two sides were wary of each other, maintaining a tacit understanding, and the chase presented a balanced trend on the premise that neither of them was serious.

In the end, even Akimi Erika was unwilling to risk his life against another Level 5 for such a "private request."

While this Level 5 chase was in full swing, Maya Awaki, who had left earlier, also went to the experimental site according to Misaki Shokuhou's instructions to meet up with Junko Hokaze and the others.

She was to replace Misaki Shokuhou, who could not be present, to pay attention to the experimental process, and could immediately take action to save the situation in case of an accident.

Although Maya Awaki was not a member of the "Ideal Capability" of the Second Research Institute, no one was surprised by her appearance because she had been showing up there frequently recently and playing with the children there, plus the effect of her superpower "Awakening."

Maya Awaki was like an idle bystander, staying alone in a corner and staring at the experiment in front of her...

At the same time, Lin Wuming and Toru Hachi also came all the way to the depths of the research institute.

Lin Wuming's arrival seemed to cause a considerable degree of panic among the members of the research institute, not only ordinary researchers, but even people in security uniforms fled in panic.

There was no momentum of the armed security guards of "Kuroyoru Technologies" and "Underground Exploration" at all.

This made the two people, who had been tense and ready to fight at any time, somewhat disappointed.

Later, the people in the research institute avoided them in advance, so that the two of them could not see a single person along the way, let alone encounter any decent resistance.

"Let's go upstairs next." Lin Wuming said, "The largest laboratory here is on the second floor."

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Toru Hachi nodded and followed into the stairwell.

The internal map of "Artificial Atelier" had already been mastered by Misaki Shokuhou, and was instilled into Lin Wuming's mind when they last met.

Therefore, Lin Wuming belonged to exploring with his own map this time. But he, who had the attribute of being a road idiot, did not dare to be careless at all. He strictly followed the map route and repeatedly compared and confirmed it before finally arriving at this stairwell.

"Is it just going to the second floor?" Toru Hachi couldn't help but complain, "We just passed three elevators and an emergency passage. There are plenty of ways to go to the second floor!"

"Cough!" Lin Wuming coughed, "This is the shortest route I planned. It's safer to follow the route."

"Wuming, your road idiot is hopeless..." The girl rolled her eyes and complained.

The two stepped on the stairs and walked to the second floor - under the lift of telekinesis, Lin Wuming's wheelchair walked on the stairs as if walking on flat ground.

"...Wuming, is it okay for you to walk like this?" Toru Hachi couldn't help but put her hand on the back of the wheelchair, worried that it would slip backwards.

Because he was walking uphill, Lin Wuming's wheelchair tilted back almost forty-five degrees, looking shaky and likely to overturn at any time.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's very stable." Lin Wuming said.

He could completely support the weight of a wheelchair and his body.

He said half-jokingly: "Even if a few more people ride on it, my wheelchair will not overturn. Unless..."

Unless he encountered an attack falling from above.

But he couldn't finish this sentence - because there was really an attack coming.

The stairs on the upper floor suddenly collapsed, and you could see bricks falling down at an abnormally high speed.
