A Scientific Urban Detective

Due to her personality, Yumiya Liger couldn't integrate into that group. She usually relied on her sister, Yumiya Nyx, as a bridge to maintain minimal communication with others.

Yumiya Liger was already used to this and didn't mind—as long as her sister was by her side, everything was fine.

But now, after this "escape operation," her sister, Yumiya Nyx, had been "taken away" by Lin Wuming!

Yumiya Liger saw that after confirming their safety, all the rescued girls surrounded Lin Wuming, excitedly talking about something.

This was actually a normal scene, since Lin Wuming was indeed the one who rescued them and succeeded. It wasn't strange for the girls to express their gratitude.

Moreover, they had heard of Lin Wuming's "heroic" reputation through urban legends and other channels. Now that they saw the "hero" in front of them, they were like fans meeting their idol, so it was inevitable that they would be a little excited.

Not only Yumiya Nyx, but even Miya Aiyu, who was best at hiding her emotions, joined in the fun and made a scene around Lin Wuming.

It was just a celebration ceremony after escaping and gaining freedom.

However, in Yumiya Liger's eyes, the scene in front of her was distorted into a picture of "her sister abandoning her for Lin Wuming…"

This wasn't even a misunderstanding; it was just Yumiya Liger's one-sided delusion and self-suggestion.

But at the time, it made her feel like she was at a dead end, unable to breathe.

Then, when she saw Kakine Teitoku making harsh remarks to Lin Wuming, she immediately felt that she had found an ally to fight against Lin Wuming…

Hearing her explanation, the three members of "School" felt it was absurd. If Kihara Umi had not repeatedly questioned and confirmed it, they definitely wouldn't have believed such a clumsy reason.

But well, in Academy City, especially in the world of the dark side, there were all kinds of strange people with mental problems or extreme ideas.

Yumiya Liger's idea, although not very logical, wasn't entirely impossible.

"Alright, your interview is considered passed," Kakine Teitoku said. "Go back first. After the incident subsides, we will find you."

Seeing that she was recognized, Yumiya Liger was very happy and obediently returned the way she came.

For a moment, Yomikawa Aiho and Kihara Umi were speechless again: "That child… doesn't know what politeness is."

"Well, at her age, it's normal not to know, right?"

Kakine Teitoku said, "Who said it was politeness?"

"Eh? Boss, do you really want to recruit her?" Kihara Umi asked in surprise.

"Why not? She has talent and is obedient," Kakine Teitoku said. "She's a good choice."

"Then just take her away directly," Yomikawa Aiho said.

Kakine Teitoku shook his head: "Now we need to distance ourselves from this incident. Yumiya Liger is one of the parties involved. Disappearing directly will cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover…"

Moreover, Kakine Teitoku still didn't fully trust Yumiya Liger. She was, after all, someone from Shokuhou Misaki's side, so he needed some time to observe.

Yumiya Liger returned to the front of the "Production Facility" and searched around among the increasing number of security forces, but couldn't find her sister, Yumiya Nyx.

Not only that, but Shokuhou Misaki and the others were also gone.

——As expected, I was abandoned?

Although it was wrong of her to leave secretly, the fact that the others left without noticing… still made Yumiya Liger very disappointed.

"Because Fūhō Runko and Yuri Chiya's conditions were relatively bad, they went to the hospital first," a familiar voice suddenly came from her ear.

Because she assumed that no one would pay attention to her, Yumiya Liger realized after a while that someone was talking to her.

Turning her head, it was indeed a girl she knew.

"Miya Aiyu?" Yumiya Liger was a little disappointed that it wasn't her sister, Yumiya Nyx, but she was also a little happy that it was a companion after all.

"Nyx-chan was also asked to go for a check-up because she directly participated in the battle," Miya Aiyu saw through her thoughts. "So I stayed behind to wait for you."

"You also directly participated in the battle, why…"

"I didn't want to ride in the same car as Shokuhou Misaki, so I volunteered to stay behind," Miya Aiyu explained. "Liger-chan, we are very similar."

"…" Yumiya Liger was pleasantly surprised, but her expression became even more restrained. "Thank you…"

Miya Aiyu didn't ask where Yumiya Liger had gone just now, but took her hand and walked forward together.

"There's no ambulance…" Yumiya Liger murmured after searching in the crowd for a long time.

At this time, the outside of the "Production Facility" was surrounded by layers of vehicles.

Various types of police cars, fire trucks, and media interview vehicles that came after hearing the news… but there were no ambulances.

"Because there are still many other people inside the research institute," Miya Aiyu said. "Even ambulances from outside the Second District have been dispatched, but it's still too late to transport the patients. We can only wait a little longer."

The "Production Facility" didn't just have the few girls who escaped; in fact, there were more staff members.

Due to the experimental accident and the attack of the rampaging AIM diffusion field, the staff members were either unconscious, transformed into black smoke monsters and were eliminated, or remained unconscious after the black smoke dissipated.

After a search by the security forces, more than two hundred unconscious people were carried out of the building, occupying a large amount of medical resources.

"We can go to the hospital ourselves," Yumiya Liger fanned her nostrils. "I can find them."

"Hmm… it feels like it would be hard to go by ourselves," Miya Aiyu was very reluctant.

"Miya-san, Yumiya-san," At this time, someone called out to them again.

"Lin… Wuming-senpai?" Miya Aiyu was surprised to see the figure sitting in the wheelchair. "Why are you still here?"

"Cooperating with the security forces' investigation," Lin Wuming said.

According to the on-site statistics, at least 240 staff members of the "Production Facility" were unconscious, but according to the registered list, there should be nearly 300 staff members.

More than forty people were missing.

In this situation, the so-called "missing" was almost a euphemism for "death."

Considering Lin Wuming's notorious reputation, it wasn't strange that he was listed as the primary suspect.

Of course, those "missing people" were actually eliminated by Kakine Teitoku in the black smoke monster state.

In fact, the security forces had also obtained relevant information through the surviving surveillance cameras. Lin Wuming's remaining was only to serve the purpose of cross-checking evidence.
