A Scientific Urban Detective
#15 - Housing issues
The "Telekinesis User" superpower of Level 3 meant that Lin Wuming was destined not to be able to wreak havoc and become the "strongest," but it was very suitable for daily life. It also fit Lin Wuming's life plan of "lying flat."
"What's wrong, Lin Wuming? You don't look so good. Does your wound hurt?" Hubachi Tomitsu suddenly asked.
Lin Wuming came back to his senses and shook his head, "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about the future."
"You really should think about it carefully," Izumikawa Aiho nodded in agreement. "Your life has just begun. Although you have experienced a lot of hardships before, please believe that after suffering comes happiness. Your future life will definitely be beautiful and happy."
"Thank you for your comfort, Teacher," Lin Wuming said. "I think so too."
Hubachi Tomitsu, however, looked serious and ruthlessly poured cold water on him, "We can't be careless yet, right? After all, the real mastermind behind the assassination hasn't been found yet. That Dr. Yamamoto was just a soldier pushed out to carry out the task. If his commander hasn't been eliminated, he will probably continue to send more assassins."
Hearing this, Lin Wuming and Izumikawa Aiho both looked serious.
Izumikawa Aiho showed a helpless expression, "Unfortunately, Hubachi is right. Dr. Yamamoto accepted the commission on an anonymous website. He doesn't know who the client is; and that website has also been cancelled... Now we can't find any clues. I'm very sorry, Wuming-kun, you are indeed still in danger."
The reason why Izumikawa Aiho came to visit so frequently was also to protect Lin Wuming and deter potential assassins.
Lin Wuming thought for a while and asked, "Has the research institute I was in before been investigated?"
"There is no research institute," Izumikawa Aiho said.
"Huh?"
"Your file information is blank," Izumikawa Aiho explained. "Your last address was in the orphanage. Unless you can recover your memory, we can't find any clues about the research institution."
"That's not normal," Lin Wuming said.
"Of course it's not normal," Izumikawa Aiho shrugged. "Everyone knows that your information was deliberately deleted—and it was only after it was confirmed that you had amnesia that they started to act, but they were quick enough and deleted it thoroughly enough."
"Where do I still have my previous memories..." Lin Wuming said with a wry smile. His transmigration didn't inherit too much of the original owner's memory information.
Izumikawa Aiho nodded, not doubting his words, because a psychological superpower user had already diagnosed him—Lin Wuming had indeed lost his memory.
The research institution he was in before probably also got this information, so they took measures to delete the file information.
In this way, Lin Wuming's experience in the past year has become blank, unknown to anyone.
After a moment of silence, Izumikawa Aiho spoke again, "Wuming-kun, what are your plans for the future? I asked the doctor, you can be discharged from the hospital next week to recuperate at home. Do you want to continue to be hospitalized for treatment, or go through the discharge procedures?"
"So soon?" Lin Wuming was a little surprised.
It takes a hundred days to recover from a fracture. He thought he would have to stay longer.
However, Lin Wuming's own healing speed was relatively fast, and the treatment methods in Academy City were more advanced. It was already slow to control the injury to the point where he could be discharged and recuperate on his own in a week.
In fact, this was already Izumikawa Aiho deliberately prolonging the hospitalization time, considering safety issues.
"Go home..." Lin Wuming pondered, and thought about his current account balance, "Are there any good student apartments you can recommend?"
Academy City is a city where students are the main citizens. In addition to some boarding schools, other students can apply to rent student apartments alone after entering junior high school.
The rent is also very cheap. Even a Level 0 scholarship is enough to maintain basic living needs if you are not picky.
Lin Wuming is not short of money now, so he also has some pursuit of quality of life, and naturally wants to live a little better.
He couldn't be more suitable to consult the security teacher since he was unfamiliar with the place.
What he didn't expect was that Izumikawa Aiho suddenly said, "Wuming-kun, why don't you move into my house? The apartment I rent is quite big."
"Ah?" Lin Wuming almost jumped up again.
In terms of psychological age, Lin Wuming and Izumikawa Aiho are closer—they are "peers."
And if she changed out of that navy blue uniform, Izumikawa Aiho would actually be a beauty above average.
Such a beauty suddenly extended an invitation to "live together," which really made him feel a little dazed.
"Is it necessary to do this?" It was Hubachi Tomitsu who first raised the question. She was so close to Dr. Sakurai, and she currently lived alone in a student apartment. "Doesn't this city encourage students' ability to live independently?"
"It's to protect Wuming-kun," Izumikawa Aiho explained. "The apartment I rent is actually a dormitory building dedicated to the security forces. The residents inside are all teachers from the security forces. Because of the shift schedule, there are people in the building 24 hours a day, and all kinds of security systems are available. It can be said to be one of the safest places in Academy City."
Izumikawa Aiho counted the advantages of her residence like a salesperson: "To put it a bit exaggeratedly, the level of security is almost comparable to the Chairman's windowless building."
"Is it that powerful?" Hubachi Tomitsu said.
"Of course," Izumikawa Aiho nodded confidently. "In the end, our security forces are more powerful. Generally, no one dares to cause trouble there."
Hubachi Tomitsu listened as if she was listening to a story, not quite believing it; but Lin Wuming knew that Teacher Izumikawa Aiho was not exaggerating.
The security forces are the official violent law enforcement agency of Academy City. They are usually used not only to deal with and suppress superpower crime incidents, but even occasionally go out for cross-border strikes.
Although the security forces are volunteer forces composed of teachers, they are actually a "quasi-military organization" in Academy City. Coupled with the blessing of Academy City's high-tech equipment, their combat power is self-evident.
Unless a Level 5 superpower goes crazy and comes to attack, there is almost no force that can capture the security forces' dormitory building.
In terms of safety alone, Izumikawa Aiho's apartment is impeccable.
"However, is it really necessary to be so cautious?" Lin Wuming said, "Since I have indeed lost my previous memories, then the enemy doesn't need to pester me anymore, right?"
During these days in the hospital, he hadn't encountered any new attackers.
"Just in case," Izumikawa Aiho said seriously, "No one knows if your memory will suddenly recover. Those criminals definitely don't want to take this risk. Once there is a chance, they will probably choose to silence you."
