A Scientific Urban Detective

Without any warning, Lin Wuming collapsed in his wheelchair and fell into a deep sleep.

Similarly, Touma Kamijou also started bleeding from his nose and lost consciousness, being held by the girl behind him, who then dragged him to a bench by the roadside to rest.

"You used too much of a dose, Ryoko," the girl who appeared later said, taking out tissues to stop the blood flowing from Touma's nose. "Look at this poor boy; you've stimulated a nosebleed."

"You're one to talk, Sakura," the first girl rolled her eyes. "Quick, get the neutralizer and spray it around. It'll be troublesome if other passersby also faint."

The "perfume" on these two model girls, Sakura and Ryoko, was actually a special anesthetic. Individually, each scent was just ordinary perfume, but when the two scents mixed, they created a potent anesthetic.

"There's no helping it," Sakura said. "After all, we were warned by the higher-ups to treat the target as a Level 5. To ensure the drug takes effect, we have to increase the dosage."

Ryoko straightened Touma's body as if he were a doll, making it look like he was "dozing off on the bench."

Turning her head, she asked, "Sakura, are we just leaving this guy here?"

"Of course," the girl called Sakura leaned over to observe Lin Wuming's condition. "This guy is the mission's target—supposedly a hero. Looking closely, he's still just a big boy."

Ryoko took out a can of spray from her coat pocket and sprayed it into the surrounding air, using the neutralizer to eliminate the effects of the anesthetic.

At the same time, Sakura went to the roadside and waved down an ambulance that had been waiting nearby, sending Lin Wuming, along with his wheelchair, onto the vehicle before driving off…

She poked his face with her finger, but there was no reaction.

Then, she tapped his forehead with her knuckle, but there was still no reaction.

After that, she drew blood for samples and conducted a comprehensive physical examination…

"I say," Sakura, who had already changed into a white coat, skillfully operated the medical equipment while saying, "Did we really use too much of a dose?"

"What does it matter?" Ryoko operated other machines at the other end of the room. "Anyway, our anesthetic has no side effects. Besides, isn't it good that he's obediently cooperating with our investigation? He's the mission target, not your boyfriend. It's best to avoid him resisting violently…"

As she spoke, Ryoko suddenly exclaimed, "Was this guy returning from the battlefield, or is he a survivor of a major earthquake?"

Through the X-ray scan, it could be seen that Lin Wuming's entire body had multiple healed fractures.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to suffer so many injuries.

Even now, Lin Wuming still had many injuries that had not yet healed.

"Instead of obediently lying in a hospital bed, he's dragging his battered body around…" Sakura also clicked her tongue. "As expected, someone who can become our mission target isn't a normal person."

Ryoko came to the bedside and carefully examined the face of the unconscious young man. "Speaking of which, since the boss is so wary of this hero, why not just kill him? There are plenty of opportunities, aren't there?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary. Don't forget why we were kicked out of 'Personnel's' official membership," Sakura warned, but she didn't take any action to stop her companion.

As expected, Ryoko didn't care. She removed her medical gloves and formed her fingers into a knife—under the effect of her superpower, her five fingers did indeed become sharp blades, even flashing with a metallic gleam.

"Hey, that's not included in your mission, is it?" someone suddenly entered the room. "Don't do anything unnecessary."

"You're the one who's meddling, errand boy," Ryoko responded with an unfriendly expression.

"I'm not meddling," the person who had just entered was a noticeably younger red-haired girl, wearing a middle school girl's uniform. Facing the two fierce-looking older sisters, she showed no fear. "After all, my mission is to take him away, not a corpse."

Ryoko and Sakura both knew that the girl was telling the truth, but they still stabbed down hard with the hand blade as if to provoke her.

Of course, knowing that Lin Wuming was someone the boss had specifically requested to see, Ryoko didn't dare to really kill him. She was just trying to scare the red-haired girl.

But Lin Wuming, who was still unconscious, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

With the assistance of Nen ability, Lin Wuming's hand was as if cast in steel. Ryoko exerted force several times, but she still couldn't break free.

"When did you wake up?" Ryoko wasn't flustered, but instead asked with a sweet smile.

"From the 'meddling' part," Lin Wuming said, grabbing her wrist as he sat up, slowly surveying his surroundings.

"Let go of Ryoko," Sakura said from the side. "Someone wants to see you."

"Who?" Lin Wuming released her hand. "Is it the person who kidnapped me here?"

"You'll naturally know when you see them," Ryoko and Sakura exited the room.

Leaving only the red-haired girl and Lin Wuming here.

Lin Wuming saw his wheelchair in the corner, so he skillfully transferred himself to the wheelchair.

Only then did he look at the red-haired girl: "So, are you going to lead the way for me next?"

"Yes, I am the guide," the red-haired girl nodded, then frowned as she looked at the wheelchair. "Do you have to go in a wheelchair? You can walk, can't you?"

She had just seen with her own eyes that Lin Wuming had walked directly to the wheelchair.

"This is my mode of transportation," Lin Wuming said coldly.

Facing the enemies who had anesthetized him and kidnapped him here, Lin Wuming didn't have a good face to show them. Of course, he was even less likely to do as they asked.

"Whatever, it's about the same anyway," the red-haired girl said carelessly.

She walked over and stood next to Lin Wuming, instructing him: "Don't be nervous later, don't be afraid, restrain your Nen, don't mess around—that won't do you any good."

"Huh?" Lin Wuming looked over in surprise.

Although her tone was very unfriendly, there was no doubt that this girl was pointing out some things to pay attention to.

"I have no grudges against you, and I don't dislike your heroic side," the red-haired girl explained. "Okay, let's go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wuming felt the scene in front of him suddenly change.

Spatial movement! Lin Wuming immediately realized what had happened.

Combining this with the red-haired girl calling herself a "guide," her identity, and the person he was about to meet could be determined.

Guide, Kihara Yuiitsu, a Level 4 esper with the ability of Teleport.

And her work service object is the Chairman Aleister, who lives in the "Building Without Windows"!

Sure enough, after the scene in front of him changed, he saw a huge test tube standing in the dim space.

A "person" wearing a light green surgical gown was suspended upside down in the test tube.

The ruler of Academy City—Chairman Aleister.
