A Scientific Urban Detective

Hearing Misaki Shokuhou's exclamation, Lin Wuming remembered a key question: "What about Saidan Aimi and Kiyama Harumi? What are they doing now?"

Judging by the looks of it, Kiyama Harumi's experiment has obviously entered its final climax.

Because the current situation is more serious than Lin Wuming expected—at least the scale of "Level Upper" is larger than in the original story—Lin Wuming is a little worried that this incident will unfold in some way beyond his expectations.

Lin Wuming has already planned that once the situation gets out of control, he will cut off the fuel supply and directly find Kiyama Harumi to solve the problem.

Misaki Shokuhou's expression turned serious: "In fact, they've already gone missing, the two of them."

Because it's already summer vacation, and they don't need to show up at school every day, Saidan Aimi's whereabouts have become even more mysterious.

In recent days, even core members of the Saidan faction like Wulili have rarely known the whereabouts of their leader.

"What's even more troublesome is," Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Mikoto Misaka beside her, "I received a message—the dark side 'ITEM' seems to be hunting down members of the Saidan faction."

"The dark side 'ITEM'?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but be surprised, "How did Saidan Aimi provoke them?"

"Who knows?" Misaki Shokuhou shrugged, "Could it be that the Board of Directors noticed this and sent a professional team?"

In Misaki Shokuhou's opinion, the dark side is obviously more efficient than the security forces in handling similar problems.

However, because the dark side organizations can't be brought to the table, they are generally only used to deal with those equally shady things; as for events that have already attracted public attention, it is inconvenient to let the dark side organizations handle them.

Mikoto Misaka is concerned about another matter: "Speaking of Saidan Aimi, can she beat 'Atom Breaker'?"

In terms of closeness, Mikoto Misaka is obviously more concerned about Saidan Aimi, who is also a student of Tokiwadai Middle School.

Moreover, in Mikoto Misaka's opinion, Saidan Aimi has no conflict with her side, so there is no problem in standing on her side.

Although Saidan Aimi, who can use multiple abilities, is also very powerful, compared with a real Level 5 super power user, there is still a certain gap after all.

"We can only wish her good luck." Misaki Shokuhou seemed much more indifferent, even though she and Saidan Aimi are still allies in name, "However, with Saidan Aimi's wisdom and scheming, we shouldn't need to worry."

In contrast, her focus is on the "dark side's dispatch" itself, rather than whether Saidan Aimi will go to war with a Level 5.

As for Lin Wuming… Lin Wuming had no thoughts, just kept nodding, indicating that he "knew about this."

There was no way, at this moment, Lin Wuming's reaction to external things was much slower, because he was concentrating on resisting the "erosion" of "Level Upper."

Psychokinesis is one of the largest types of abilities in Academy City, so in the "sea of consciousness" of "Level Upper," there are countless AIM diffusion field ripples of psychokinetic abilities.

As a Level 3 Strong Ability User of Psychokinesis, Lin Wuming is really easily "instinctively" attracted to it and integrated into that vast collective consciousness!

Fortunately, Lin Wuming is not a simple Level 3 Strong Ability User. Although he can only maintain it for a brief moment, he has indeed reached the peak of Level 5.

In addition, he was mentally prepared, so he was able to resist it to some extent.

"Wuming-senpai?" Misaki Shokuhou paid close attention to Lin Wuming's situation and couldn't help but look over worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Actually, not so good." Lin Wuming didn't hide it, and responded with a forced spirit, "Is the effect of 'Level Upper' so overbearing? Or is it that Kiyama Harumi has really started the final step?"

Lin Wuming felt that the attraction of that "sea of consciousness" was getting stronger and stronger, and even he was about to be unable to resist it.

However, Lin Wuming didn't intend to resist to the end from the beginning. On the contrary, he had long wanted to throw himself into it and find out what was going on.

"Queen!" Just then, Runko Honami suddenly broke into the room and said in a hurry, "Wulili and Kiyomizu Nazuki of the Saidan faction have been kidnapped!"

"Kidnapped?" Mikoto Misaka was the first to react, "Who dares to kidnap our school's students?"

"According to the description," Runko Honami said, "it's people from the dark side 'ITEM'."

"So what exactly is going on?" Mikoto Misaka was also confused, "Why is 'ITEM' appearing in this topic?"

"It seems we can't wait any longer." Misaki Shokuhou made a decision, "Runko-nee, do you know where they are now?"

"Yumiya is tracking them." Runko Honami nodded.

"Then, Wuming-senpai…" Misaki Shokuhou turned to look.

"Go," Lin Wuming nodded, then walked to the bed and fell headfirst on the bed, "I'm leaving too, don't worry…"

After saying that, Lin Wuming gave up all resistance and let his consciousness plunge into that ocean.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Wuming-senpai?" Mikoto Misaka was suspicious and even wanted to reach out to test Lin Wuming's breathing.

But she was slapped away by Tomimi Kohachi, who was guarding beside her: "Wuming is fine, don't make a fuss."

Mikoto Misaka chuckled twice. In fact, they had already discussed the action plan and expected Lin Wuming's current situation.

Her reaching out was just imitating a subconscious action from a TV series. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a bit ominous.

"Alright, don't waste time here, let's go save people first!" Misaki Shokuhou urged, "Those crazy women from 'ITEM' don't know how to show mercy!"

Misaki Shokuhou doesn't care about Saidan Aimi's safety, but she can't ignore the other students of Tokiwadai Middle School.

After all, in Misaki Shokuhou's opinion, these are likely to be members of her faction in the future.

Moreover, Misaki Shokuhou has a hunch that as long as they find "ITEM," they will likely be able to get in touch with the core of this "Level Upper" incident.

So the girls left the apartment in a hurry, went to join Yumiya Iruka, and prepared to save people.

However, this time Misaki Shokuhou and the others misunderstood the dark side "ITEM" somewhat.

The "ITEM" quartet did receive a mission request and were seriously investigating the related incidents caused by "Level Upper." They had to find out the truth and solve it before the situation became uncontrollable…

Kidnapping students from Tokiwadai Middle School was not their original intention, but with Mugino Shizuri's temperament and personality, once she discovers that a student from Tokiwadai Middle School is related to the case, or even the suspect, she will not care about the face of the Tokiwadai Group at all.

The dark side organizations were originally used as white gloves to do this kind of thing that easily offends people.
