A Scientific Urban Detective

Kiyama Harumi's "Multi-Skill" had gone berserk, or rather, it should be said that "Skillout" itself had lost control and run wild.

The originally formless and intangible AIM diffusion field directly interfered with reality, constructing a "body" out of thin air in the real world through different kinds of ability effects.

—An image of a human body with a slender and graceful figure and limbs.

However, it was over five meters tall, a "giant."

Its face was unclear, but from the graceful curves of its body, one could tell that "she" was probably female.

This couldn't really be named "Imaginary Beast" anymore, but Shokuhou Misaki, according to Lin Wuming's memory information, blurted out the phrase "Imaginary Beast," giving "her" a name.

Then, the battle became even more chaotic.

Misaka Mikoto and Himegami Aisa no longer hesitated and immediately attacked the "Imaginary Beast."

"So, what's the deal with this humanoid 'Imaginary Beast'?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but ask.

"It's probably my fault," Takehaya Yosai admitted decisively. "It was my consciousness that took the lead, causing this big guy to manifest, right?"

Because Takehaya Yosai was able to maintain the clarity of her "individual consciousness," she saw and recognized Saten Ruiko through Kiyama Harumi's eyes.

Then, she spent a little time realizing that Saten Ruiko had come to fight in order to rescue the children of her faction—just like her own experience and encounter!

And Saten Ruiko's enemy was a genuine Level 5, powerful, and Saten Ruiko was no match.

Worried that Saten Ruiko would repeat her own mistakes, Takehaya Yosai's emotions became more and more anxious and urgent.

At a certain moment, based on some kind of trigger, her will, with the help of the influence of this "sea of consciousness," spread to the outside world.

Takehaya Yosai felt that she had regained a "body" and unprecedentedly vast power.

So, without thinking, she launched an attack on "Meltdowner!"

"But I'm just a trigger," Takehaya Yosai added. "The ones who really made the situation unmanageable are these guys."

Lin Wuming noticed the "group" of consciousnesses not far from them.

This was the only "individual entity" in this "sea of consciousness" besides himself and Takehaya Yosai.

They were Kiyama Harumi's students.

Due to the side effects of the experiment, their AIM diffusion fields were entangled together, almost merging into the same waveform.

Therefore, they could barely be regarded as a single individual.

Similar to Takehaya Yosai's situation, these students were worried about the safety of their teacher, Kiyama Harumi. Discovering that their teacher was in danger, they went berserk, and then used the entity constructed by Takehaya Yosai to launch a violent attack.

Of course, as the third "individual" with independent consciousness in the "sea of consciousness," Lin Wuming also had a share of the blame.

Although Lin Wuming was always immersed in his own world, wholeheartedly interpreting and absorbing the information in the "sea of consciousness," since his consciousness was in it, he would inevitably contribute to the "Imaginary Beast."

Takehaya Yosai was originally an esper who could use multiple superpowers, so her consciousness was the most compatible with the "Imaginary Beast," and she could use different kinds of abilities with ease.

Kiyama Harumi's students were all elementary school students, and ignorance is fearless. As children, they didn't hold back, doing whatever they wanted, which allowed them to exert the most primitive and instinctive strength of the "Imaginary Beast."

As for Lin Wuming, he contributed his rich combat experience.

Nen abilities were originally known as "omnipotent abilities," almost equivalent to a natural "all-rounder."

Absorbing Lin Wuming's combat experience, the "Imaginary Beast" became even more difficult to deal with.

It could be said that the "Imaginary Beast" was fighting four groups of people at the same time without falling behind, and even used the contradictions between its opponents to incite infighting, which was really thanks to Lin Wuming's "rich experience."

Misaka Mikoto keenly recognized Lin Wuming's fighting style, and because she was worried about accidentally hurting Lin Wuming, she became more restrained when fighting.

On the contrary, Lin Wuming's combat experience had a considerable amount of strategies to deal with "Railgun"...

Fortunately, as Lin Wuming woke up, regained his self-awareness, and withdrew from the "Imaginary Beast," it lost its previous combat experience.

Immediately afterwards, Takehaya Yosai, who had figured out the situation, also withdrew.

The "Imaginary Beast" then lost the ability to flexibly use different abilities.

Its body also collapsed from a slender and graceful "humanoid" shape into a real "beast"...

"Before you talked to me," Takehaya Yosai explained, "I spent a lot of effort persuading these students."

As expected of a girl who had been a "big sister," she was very experienced in dealing with willful students.

At this point, the three "independent souls" that supported the "Imaginary Beast" had completely withdrawn.

The "Imaginary Beast" was really just a "beast" that obeyed its instincts. It had an extremely powerful body, but lacked the intelligence to fully utilize its performance.

With that luxurious lineup outside, it should be easy to deal with, right?

"Wuming-senpai, Wuming-senpai! Can you hear me?" Shokuhou Misaki's voice suddenly rang out.

"Misaki, thank you for your hard work. I'm doing fine here," Lin Wuming immediately responded. "Tell Mikoto, don't worry about us, just eliminate the 'Imaginary Beast'!"

"That's great!" Shokuhou Misaki seemed relieved. "I couldn't find Wuming-senpai before, which was really worrying!"

After all, this "Skillout" incident was different from the original plot, and Shokuhou Misaki was also unsure.

—I definitely can't let Wuming-senpai mess around like this again next time! It's really worrying!

While silently making a decision in her heart, Shokuhou Misaki opened her eyes and shouted loudly, "Misaka, don't waste time, quickly get rid of the 'Imaginary Beast'!"

"Finally, I can fight without restraint!" Misaka Mikoto's spirits lifted.

She clapped her hands together in front of her, and when she pulled them apart, endless electric arcs surged from between her palms.

As if the Thunder God had descended, Misaka Mikoto slowly floated up in the vast electric light.

Everyone present couldn't help but look sideways.

Just looking at the gorgeousness of the visual effects, "Meltdowner" could not compare to this scene in any way.

Mugino Shizuri's face became more and more gloomy, and she really had the urge to fire a shot to show this complacent little girl some color.

Fortunately, Mugino Shizuri had not completely lost her mind and knew that there was still serious business to attend to and it was not the time to be willful.

At this time, the "Imaginary Beast" became even more distorted, and could not even maintain its "beast form," collapsing into a huge "lump of flesh."

At the same time, it seemed that some kind of new "life" was being conceived in this "lump of flesh."
