A Scientific Urban Detective

Misaka Mikoto's long-prepared "Railgun" finally fired; almost at the same time, "ITEM" also provided assistance.

Under Takitsubo Rikou's guidance, Mugino Shizuri unleashed an incredibly precise "Meltdown Attack," first stripping away the flesh from the "Fantasy Beast's" body, revealing the "core" hidden underneath.

Immediately afterwards, the "Railgun" pierced straight through!

The powerful destructive force almost completely obliterated the entire "core"!

Finally relieved, Shokuhou Misaki wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded gently towards "ITEM."

Kinuhata Saiai returned an OK gesture; Takitsubo Rikou also waved towards them.

Mugino Shizuri snorted coldly, glared at her three companions, and then glared at Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki.

"Let's go, going back!"

"Eh? But the request..." Frenda was still concerned about the original mission, her gaze towards Shadousei.

But Takitsubo Rikou and Kinuhata Saiai covered her mouth and forcibly dragged her away.

...

"Done!" Lin Wuming cheered. Due to his special state, he had witnessed the final blow from a first-person perspective.

It was because of this that he could confirm that the "Fantasy Beast" was truly finished.

If he had hands in this state, Lin Wuming would definitely applaud and celebrate.

"Yeah, it's really great," Musashino Yozora echoed from the side.

But Lin Wuming felt that her mood wasn't too good, though he wasn't good at reading people's expressions, let alone in a situation where he couldn't even see her "face."

"You..." Lin Wuming was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shokuhou Misaki's communication.

Remembering that the most crucial step hadn't been completed yet, Lin Wuming didn't dare to be careless and immediately perked up to communicate with her.

"...Mm, mm." Shokuhou Misaki stared at the empty space in front of her—the location where the "Fantasy Beast" had been—while holding the remote control against her chin, looking thoughtful.

The girls around her didn't disturb her, because they knew that Shokuhou Misaki was communicating with Lin Wuming.

After a while, she finally seemed to snap out of it, putting down the remote control, her eyes flickering.

"How is it? Is Wuming-senpai alright?" Misaka Mikoto asked quickly upon seeing this.

"We're going home immediately!" Shokuhou Misaki said, "Wuming-senpai needs my power!"

With that, Shokuhou Misaki took the lead and turned to run.

"Hey, explain it clearly!" Misaka Mikoto hurriedly chased after her.

With Shokuhou Misaki's stamina and speed, it was impossible for her to run very fast.

In the end, thanks to Kazakiri Hyouka's support, they were able to return to the car.

There was no one else in the car, so Shokuhou Misaki finally gave an explanation.

"Wuming-senpai's consciousness is being polluted by the 'Fantasy Beast,' so he needs my help to deal with it," Shokuhou Misaki said vaguely.

The other girls in the car didn't doubt her, after all, Shokuhou Misaki was the expert in this area, and even if she wanted to explain in detail, the others probably wouldn't understand.

And everyone knew that Shokuhou Misaki would never harm Lin Wuming.

However, although Shokuhou Misaki wasn't lying, she wasn't telling the whole truth either.

Lin Wuming did ask Shokuhou Misaki to help him "deal with his memory information," but the real reason wasn't "mental pollution."

After the previous deep immersion, Lin Wuming was already immune to the erosion of the "sea of consciousness," and could even freely interpret the information within.

So this "sea of consciousness" was beneficial to Lin Wuming, a treasure trove.

What Lin Wuming wanted to do was to take this "treasure trove" for himself—of course, not to seize the AIM diffusion fields of these 20,000+ espers, but only the information and knowledge within.

But inappropriate, excessive information is also a poison. Like the original main heroine Index, the 103,000 magical grimoires recorded in her mind were undoubtedly "information with poison."

The information Lin Wuming wanted to take away now, although not comparable to the 103,000 magical grimoires, could in a sense be called the "forbidden catalog of superpowers."

Naturally, it wasn't something ordinary people could bear.

The innate settings of espers determined that unless using external means like "Level Upper," espers were destined to not be able to master a second superpower. Other superpowers' AIM diffusion fields were incomprehensible "heavenly books" to espers.

Rashly contacting them might really "pollute" their minds!

The current Lin Wuming certainly didn't care about this kind of "pollution." The problem he faced was—how to preserve this valuable information?

When in this "sea of consciousness," Lin Wuming could "grasp" all the information here; if he left this special environment and returned to his original body, Lin Wuming didn't think his brain could remember such a vast amount of information!

The newest chapters are first released at 69shu.com!

After all, he didn't have absolute memory ability.

At that time, this massive amount of information would return to his body along with Lin Wuming's consciousness, and although it wouldn't "burst" his brain, it would inevitably be quickly forgotten under the brain's self-protection mechanism.

It would be a waste.

So, Lin Wuming specifically asked Shokuhou Misaki to help him seal and store this information.

How to read this information would be discussed later, at least preserve it first!

Because she knew that this matter wouldn't endanger Lin Wuming's safety, Shokuhou Misaki appeared so calm.

After returning to the car, she became the least anxious person.

"Going back to help Wuming-senpai?" Misaka Mikoto, on the other hand, replaced her as the most anxious person. "Then hurry up, what are you dawdling here for!"

At this time, the vehicle they were in had already entered the downtown area, and encountered a bit of traffic.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't wait that long, and grabbed Shokuhou Misaki's wrist: "Let's go, I'll fly you back!"

"Let go, let go quickly!" Shokuhou Misaki quickly tapped Misaka Mikoto's hand with the remote control. "Do you want to break my arm, you muscle woman!"

"You're too weak..." Misaka Mikoto had to let go.

"Don't be so anxious!" Noticing that Komaba Toshimi, who had been silent all along, also showed a concerned expression, Shokuhou Misaki quickly explained, "Even if we rush back right away, it's useless, because Wuming-senpai hasn't woken up yet."

"Hasn't woken up yet?"

"Yes," Shokuhou Misaki nodded. "After all, you see, the 'Level Upper' system is still running."

"What!" Misaka Mikoto was shocked. "Didn't we already get rid of that monster!"

"The 'Fantasy Beast' is just a product of AIM diffusion field running wild," Shokuhou Misaki said, "It's not the 'Level Upper' system itself!"
