A Scientific Urban Detective

"By the way," Mitsuari Ayu asked casually, "Do you want me to keep this a secret for you? Although my ability level isn't as high as Misaki Shokuhou's, we can still hide it from her prying eyes if we work together."

"Shokuhou…" Kiyama Harumi said, "Why would someone as dazzling as her pay attention to me?"

"…" Mitsuari Ayu was speechless, but what made her even more helpless was that she realized Kiyama Harumi's words… made sense.

"In short, are you planning to announce that you've joined an dark side organization?" Mitsuari Ayu asked again, "If you don't mind others knowing, then forget it, but if you plan to keep that secret identity, I can help you."

"Okay, please help me, Mitsuari-san!" Kiyama Harumi said decisively.

It wasn't that she really wanted to keep it a secret—such things didn't really matter to her. Kiyama Harumi simply didn't want to reject her close friend's suggestion.

Moreover, the 'ritual' of having a secret shared between herself and Mitsuari Ayu, her close friend, was very appealing to Kiyama Harumi.

Misaki Shokuhou didn't know that behind her back, Mitsuari Ayu had already gathered her own faction.

She was busy with Hōjō Ayatsuji's transfer to a new school.

Because the Shokuhou Faction hadn't truly been established yet, and she didn't have any reliable helpers, she had to do most things herself.

After visiting Kazakiri Hyouka and Yuuri Chiya at the hospital, Misaki Shokuhou hurried to Dr. Sakurai's ward to finalize Touma Mitsuko's entry into Tokiwadai Middle School.

Because Dr. Sakurai strongly agreed, nodding repeatedly, Touma Mitsuko couldn't refuse the arrangement even more.

Misaki Shokuhou was very satisfied with this.

After finishing these tasks, she hurriedly left the hospital to meet Hōjō Ayatsuji. After all, the person involved definitely needed to know in advance and prepare for such a thing as transferring schools.

"I feel like…" looking at the girl's hurried figure, Lin Wuming said, "Misaki Shokuhou seems very busy."

"She is indeed very busy. You can tell at a glance, right?" Touma Mitsuko said.

Compared to Teacher Toomine Eri, the nominal "guardian," Misaki Shokuhou was the real leader who ran that household.

Having a rare "reunion" with Dr. Sakurai, Touma Mitsuko had accumulated many things she wanted to say.

Lin Wuming tactfully excused himself and left, giving the time and space to the two who were like mother and daughter.

Because he had taken leave today and didn't have to go to Judgment (Anti-Skill) activities, he had plenty of time.

After leaving the ward, Lin Wuming didn't know how to spend the remaining time for a while.

So he wandered aimlessly around the hospital.

Although it might sound a bit hellish, this hospital was like his second home to Lin Wuming. In less than two months since transmigrating to this world, Lin Wuming had been hospitalized twice, accumulating more than half a month; other than Kiyama Harumi's apartment, he spent the most time in the hospital ward.

Let's just say, Lin Wuming wouldn't even get lost in the hospital anymore!

At this moment, walking alone in the hospital corridor, Lin Wuming really had a feeling of "coming home."

Even the doctors and nurses he met along the way would greet him.

Although Lin Wuming, who had face blindness, couldn't distinguish who they were, it didn't prevent him from smiling and returning the greeting.

Even many patients here knew Lin Wuming—as his "second hometown," his "hero" legend seemed to continue to spread in this hospital.

Soon, Lin Wuming knew the reason.

Because the "test subject" children rescued from the illegal research institutions were all receiving treatment in this hospital. They were the eyewitnesses of the incident and also Lin Wuming's most loyal group of fans.

"It's Wuming-senpai! Good morning, Wuming-senpai!"

Just like that, as soon as he turned a corner, two girls walking towards him cheered happily.

To be precise, one girl was "walking," while the other girl was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed.

For a moment, Lin Wuming inexplicably had the illusion of seeing "himself."

—Not long ago, he was also using a wheelchair for mobility.

Due to face blindness and not being good at remembering names, Lin Wuming felt that he couldn't call out the names of these two girls, so he prepared to smile and return the greeting as before, and muddle through with a few words of small talk.

But looking closely as he approached, Lin Wuming found that he actually knew them.

To be precise, he knew the black-haired girl who was pushing the wheelchair.

Kouzurui Ringo—the female lead of a certain spin-off work of the original.

She was also a fairly important character, so Lin Wuming remembered her appearance.

Looking at the blonde girl sitting in the wheelchair, he knew without guessing that it was Ryugo Chisa.

Kouzurui Ringo's best friend, who died tragically in the "Dark May Project" in the original plot, becoming the "key" to induce the outbreak of Kouzurui Ringo's potential.

But now, because of Lin Wuming's intervention, Ryugo Chisa had survived. Although she couldn't fully recover temporarily due to her severe injuries, she looked to be in good condition now, and her whole person was much more energetic.

For Kouzurui Ringo and Ryugo Chisa, Lin Wuming was literally a "lifesaver."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Therefore, unlike the other rescued children, the two of them not only admired Lin Wuming as a "hero," but also sincerely thanked him for saving their lives.

Because Ryugo Chisa had already fainted from her serious injuries and lost consciousness when she was rescued that day, and Kouzurui Ringo's spirit was also very unstable, and she was worried about her friend, she had no time to take care of other things around her, so she basically didn't have any decent communication with Lin Wuming; and after being rescued, Lin Wuming didn't come to the hospital to visit them.

So the two girls didn't have a chance to properly say thank you to Lin Wuming.

This time, finally having the opportunity to see the real person, the two girls immediately happily gathered around, bowing very solemnly to Lin Wuming to express their gratitude.

Lin Wuming had nothing to do anyway, and he inexplicably liked Ryugo Chisa in the wheelchair, so he made an exception and stopped to chat with the two girls.

Mainly to inquire about the current situation of the test subjects of the "Dark May Project"—those two hundred or so children.

He didn't know how their situation was, how they were doing.

After rescuing the children from the underground space that day, Lin Wuming didn't care about them anymore.

One was that Lin Wuming was not good at and didn't like dealing with those complicated and trivial matters, and he didn't want to bother taking care of so many children.

The second was also to "avoid suspicion," actively keeping a distance from those children, preventing unnecessary trouble from targeting him because he was too high-profile.

It was also to prevent the trouble he caused from involving these children—what if guys like Kihara Gensei used these children as hostages to coerce him?

But now, he had retired from the position of "hero," and as an ordinary student and Judgment (Anti-Skill) member, it should be no problem to talk a little about the children's living conditions.
