A Scientific Urban Detective

"Of course. Lin Wuming is a famous hero recently. Anyone who has seen the news reports should recognize Senior Lin Wuming, right?" Misaka Mikoto said with sparkling eyes. "However, since you don't use a wheelchair, Senior, I hesitated for a few seconds."

"To have my name remembered by the 'Railgun' herself is truly an honor," Lin Wuming said with a smile, extending his hand to shake hers, officially introducing himself.

"'Railgun'?" Misaka Mikoto tilted her head while shaking his hand. "What's that? I haven't participated in any research related to railguns."

"..." Lin Wuming then remembered that the name of the superpower 'Railgun' and Misaka Mikoto's signature move of the same name wouldn't be officially established until after she entered Tokiwadai Middle School.

"Never mind," Lin Wuming waved his hand. "Consider it a slip of the tongue. By the way, why was Misaka chasing that girl earlier?"

Lin Wuming had no choice but to use the previous topic to divert Misaka Mikoto's attention.

Reminded by him, Misaka Mikoto also came back to her senses, remembering the most important thing at hand.

"Right, Senior Lin Wuming, quickly tell me about that girl..." Misaka Mikoto suddenly shook her head again, sighing in resignation. "Forget it, it seems I won't be able to catch up."

--Although I've gotten to know Senior Lin Wuming, it's clear that he doesn't completely trust me.

Misaka Mikoto noticed that Lin Wuming hadn't revealed the purple-haired girl's name, probably because he was worried that she would cause trouble for her.

"Could it be that my being a Level 5 is really that scary?" Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt a little dejected. "I just wanted to ask that girl about someone..."

Yesterday, Misaka Mikoto heard from her classmates that someone had seen 'herself' in this area—albeit disguised with a wig.

Moreover, there was more than one eyewitness.

This made Misaka Mikoto very concerned, because she knew very well that she hadn't gone out shopping at all yesterday.

And the "disguise" and "long-haired wig" were even more absurd. Misaka Mikoto immediately pointed out that her classmates were mistaken or playing a prank on her.

Because Misaka Mikoto also had many eyewitnesses in the student apartment, her classmates quickly and automatically corrected the rumor, saying that they had encountered a "girl who looked very similar to Misaka Mikoto."

At that time, someone even secretly took a photo and sent it to Misaka Mikoto as evidence.

Although the photo was a bit blurry and only barely captured a glimpse of a profile, at first glance, it was indeed a girl with a very similar face to her. Misaka Mikoto fell silent...

The surprise and shock only lasted for a short time, and Misaka Mikoto immediately thought of a terrifying possibility.

--The DNA map that I was tricked into voluntarily donating a few years ago...

There have always been rumors that my DNA map was being used for various illegal research; especially after I was promoted to Level 5, there were even more rumors that research institutions were manufacturing military clones based on me as a template!

Of course, urban legends are not credible, and most are just some vague and exaggerated rumors.

But Misaka Mikoto had also personally investigated, and she could at least confirm that her DNA map was definitely not used to treat muscular dystrophy, as those swindlers had initially said.

Now, a girl who looks exactly like her suddenly appears, making it hard for Misaka Mikoto not to suspect—is that her clone?

Therefore, feeling concerned, Misaka Mikoto decided to come and investigate in person.

After casually answering her classmates' inquiries, she also inquired about the location where they encountered the girl who looked like her, and today she came to search.

As a result, she found nothing all morning...

Of course, Dolly and Keikaku indeed were on this shopping street. Just like yesterday, today the two of them sneaked out to play while the doctors and nurses weren't paying attention. Keikaku had just earned a large sum of money and was worried about not having a place to spend it.

Dolly had been in the laboratory since she was born, and even when she changed places, she was transferred between different research institutions, and she had no chance to come into contact with the outside world. Keikaku wasn't much better; she had some experience of shopping and playing, but not much, and she spent most of her life in the research institute.

This determined that the two girls were easily attracted by the interesting world outside, and then secretly sneaked out to play for two consecutive days.

Dolly kept her hair long, changed her hairstyle, and wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses. At first glance, she could already be distinguished from Misaka Mikoto, so there was no need to worry too much about being noticed about her relationship with Misaka Mikoto.

However, they didn't expect to meet Misaka Mikoto's classmates yesterday. As classmates, they were more familiar with Misaka Mikoto than others, and they were not deceived by Dolly's simple disguise, and "saw through the truth" at a glance...

Of course, Dolly and Keikaku were unaware of this and were still immersed in the joy of going out to play.

Unlike in the original work, in addition to being imprisoned in a small dark room for a period of time, Keikaku had not been corrupted due to mental breakdown. On the contrary, her friend Dolly successfully survived and escaped from that terrible illegal experimental institution with her and gained freedom, and she was too happy to be true.

Moreover, they also have Misaki Shokuhou, an extremely reliable friend, responsible for managing all the complicated affairs, so that Keikaku, like Dolly, is well protected.

She didn't show the shrewdness and competence that she did in the original plot when she planned to attack the 'Building Without Windows'.

In the end, Keikaku herself was just a thirteen-year-old girl.

Therefore, when shopping, she was easily attracted by things that interested her, and when she turned around, she found that she was separated from Dolly!

While searching anxiously, Keikaku suddenly saw a girl who looked exactly like Dolly. Although the details such as clothing and hairstyle were different from Dolly, under the circumstances, she didn't care so much, and rushed forward and grabbed the girl.

Under the excitement, Keikaku's body movements were faster than her brain's thinking reaction. In fact, before she grabbed the girl, she had subconsciously realized that she had mistaken the person--

"I finally found you... Ouch!" Keikaku realized that she had mistaken the person, and her whole body went numb.

It wasn't an illusion. At that moment, Keikaku did see a wisp of electricity flashing between the girl's hair...

A similar scene had also been seen on Dolly—but now her body had just been adjusted, and she couldn't use her superpower at will until she was completely recovered.

--Damn, I met the real deal!

Keikaku cried out inwardly.
