A Scientific Urban Detective

Yes, the reason why Misaka Mikoto was so determined to get the "truth" from Lin Wuming—even though she had already guessed that the "clones" did exist—

was entirely because this girl considered Lin Wuming to be a companion and confidant on "her side."

Therefore, even if the "truth" was outrageous, she could accept it as long as Lin Wuming told her personally.

In other words, it could also be understood that Misaka Mikoto subconsciously judged that she could not accept that "truth" alone, so she subconsciously wanted to find a companion to share everything with.

However, Lin Wuming seemed to have completely failed to understand the girl's feelings, and always refused and avoided the issue very decisively.

Not only was he unwilling to tell her the truth, he even told Misaka Mikoto to "investigate it herself."

This made Misaka Mikoto furious. Of course, she knew that she could investigate it herself, and she also had the corresponding strength and technology.

But the problem is…

"What should I do if I really find something?" Misaka Mikoto manipulated more and more iron sand, like a black sandstorm sweeping towards Lin Wuming.

That's right, what the girl was worried about was never "not finding" anything, but what to do if she "really found" something.

Unlike in the original work, Misaka Mikoto discovered the existence of the "Sisters" when it was already too late—at that time, nearly ten thousand Misaka Sisters had already died tragically in the "Absolute Ability Evolution Project."

In that situation, Misaka Mikoto was instantly forced into a desperate situation—because an irreversible tragedy had already been caused, she could only choose to bear everything alone.

But the situation is different now. All Misaka Mikoto knows is that her genetic map was taken to create her clones, and only Dolly and Tolly have been exposed.

What Misaka Mikoto cannot accept is only that the "clone" experiment itself violates ethics and morality, and that she doesn't know how to face Dolly and Tolly.

However, Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming's cautious and tight-lipped behavior made her have more ominous associations.

Originally, according to urban legends, Academy City was secretly forming an army of clone superhumans—only two people are far from being an "army."

This is the part that Misaka Mikoto dare not face.

A pair of "twin sisters" that have been disguised by Shokuhou Misaki is easy to explain, but what if more people who look exactly like her appear? How should she explain it to her friends, classmates, and family?

"So, hurry up and tell me that this is all fake!" Under excitement, Misaka Mikoto manipulated the iron sand to use "Sand Waterfall Burial" on Lin Wuming.

The absolute difference in mass made it impossible for Lin Wuming to directly confront the iron sand that surrounded him from all directions.

But—

Bang!

Lin Wuming took out his Derringer pistol and shot himself in the head.

"Bullet Time" was activated, and the flow of time in Lin Wuming's perception suddenly slowed down. Misaka Mikoto's iron sand became "slow-flying" in his eyes.

Therefore, Lin Wuming used the time difference to fully mobilize his only ten liters of diamond sand to defeat them one by one.

For a time, it created the illusion that he actually had a lot of diamond sand.

After a period of closed-door training, Lin Wuming became more proficient in the application of his telekinesis and "Bullet Time." Now, he can completely resolve Misaka Mikoto's "Sand Waterfall Burial" within one "Bullet Time," and even have the strength to counterattack…

However, Lin Wuming's "Bullet Time" did not last long, because Misaka Mikoto suddenly saw Lin Wuming raise his gun to "commit suicide." In surprise, she quickly used her electromagnetic force to stop the bullet from flying.

Before Lin Wuming could save himself, Misaka Mikoto had already taken the lead in saving him—this also inadvertently cracked Lin Wuming's next offensive.

Lin Wuming originally planned to use the time difference created by "Bullet Time" to launch a counterattack.

But now, he can only create distance first.

Taking advantage of the breakthrough opened by the previous round of explosion, Lin Wuming took the opportunity to manipulate the wheelchair to retreat rapidly.

Misaka Mikoto's rescue just now was a subconscious conditioned reflex. She immediately realized that it was impossible for Lin Wuming to suddenly shoot himself in battle—it must be some kind of fighting method of his.

Although this method is very strange, it is not uncommon for superhumans to use various props and methods to cooperate with the use of their abilities.

After figuring this out, and to prevent Lin Wuming from really having a breakdown or accidentally shooting himself to death, Misaka Mikoto manipulated electromagnetic force to forcibly take the miniature pistol from Lin Wuming's hand.

Lin Wuming did not resist, allowing himself to be disarmed, and even actively discarded the Derringer pistol.

And took this opportunity to expand the distance between the two to fifty meters.

Misaka Mikoto suddenly became alert—this distance is almost the maximum range of her "Railgun!"

The coin, as a projectile, will burn out due to severe friction with the air within a distance of fifty meters. After more than fifty meters, there may not even be much metal jet left.

Similarly, Misaka Mikoto's usual electric shock can't exert much power at this distance—unless she is willing to kill and directly increase the power, with the determination to kill Lin Wuming with a real "lightning strike."

On the other hand, Senior Lin Wuming—his ability test data is not difficult to find—his telekinesis has an effective range of more than 100 meters, and the projectiles of "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" can be accelerated to 100 meters before they start to melt.

Senior Lin Wuming's other combat methods of telekinesis can also stably exert their effects beyond 100 meters…

In other words, Senior Lin Wuming has an absolute advantage at a distance of more than fifty meters!

Misaka Mikoto immediately took action after figuring this out in an instant.

She soared into the clouds, manipulating the iron sand clouds to chase Lin Wuming; at the same time, she also manipulated electromagnetic force to capture the wheelchair under Lin Wuming's seat and pull it towards her.

The output of Level 5 is extraordinary. Lin Wuming's telekinesis cannot resist, so he can only watch the distance between himself and Misaka Mikoto getting closer and closer.

It feels like a terrifying demon king is approaching, which is really exciting.

But Lin Wuming did not sit still—he pushed his telekinesis towards Misaka Mikoto, pushing her away from him.

His telekinesis cannot resist Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic force, but it can still push a girl weighing less than fifty kilograms.

With one pull and one push, the two are like two magnets repelling each other, maintaining a distance that is difficult to shorten, and moving at high speed in low altitude…
