A Scientific Urban Detective

“Speaking of which, how strong is Senior Wu Ming now?” Misaka Mikoto suddenly asked.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but turn her head to look—in the direction two blocks away, where a building should have stood, but it had been demolished just a moment ago.

And it was demolished thoroughly, the entire building almost pulverized into dust.

The whole process only took a few dozen seconds.

Misaka Mikoto had also deduced it in her mind—if she were to do it, she probably wouldn't be much more efficient than Senior Wu Ming, and it wouldn't be as thorough.

“What I did was actually quite limited,” Lin Wu Ming explained, “The main force was actually Accelerator. After all, tonight's mission objective was to demolish that building.”

Honestly, Lin Wu Ming knew that his strength had not actually improved qualitatively, but only in terms of skill proficiency. If he had to demolish that building alone, it would probably take a lot of effort, right?

“But improving proficiency is also an important form of strength improvement,” Misaka Mikoto said, nodding to herself.

—It seems that the method I chose is indeed effective.

This semester, Misaka Mikoto has not stopped her training and practice.

However, Misaka Mikoto was not as lucky as Lin Wu Ming to find a suitable opponent.

Her superpowers, whether it's electric shock, lightning strikes, or her signature Railgun, are all extremely dangerous and potentially fatal skills that can easily kill someone.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to encounter an opponent that requires her to go all out.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto had to find another way, looking for other breakthroughs…

Inspired by Lin Wu Ming's fancy applications of telekinesis, Misaka Mikoto realized that her "electromagnetic force" could actually be used in many ways.

For example, as long as she can control the current and voltage well, she can completely paralyze the enemy's combat power without harming their lives—which is actually the principle of a stun gun—but under Misaka Mikoto's control, the person hit will not only not die, but will not even leave any side effects…

This way, she can repeatedly grind monsters.

—The delinquent youths in the Seventh District are gradually disappearing, and it's not just because of Lin Wu Ming's deterrence.

It can be said that Misaka Mikoto is now quite experienced in cleaning up mobs.

…

After leaving Family Side, Misaka Mikoto did not return to the dormitory immediately.

—Anyway, she had already asked Shirai Kuroko to help cover for her, as long as she gets back before midnight.

After a semester of cooperation, Shirai Kuroko's skills in dealing with the dorm supervisor have become more and more proficient.

Even because Shirai Kuroko is a space user, it has become more convenient for Misaka Mikoto to enter and exit the dormitory building in the middle of the night.

“Let's go a little further tonight,” Misaka Mikoto thought to herself.

After all, it is already difficult to find a worthy opponent near the Seventh District!

…

Unlike Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki and Himegami Aisa were not in a hurry to leave—they lived here.

Shokuhou Misaki also did not return to the girls' dormitory upstairs, but occupied Aiho Yomikawa's sofa and squeezed next to Lin Wu Ming to watch him play games.

Himegami Aisa was on the other side, operating another gamepad and fighting Lin Wu Ming.

Shokuhou Misaki is not good at this kind of intense video game, and has no interest in it, she just stays by Lin Wu Ming's side.

This makes it easier to communicate.

Lin Wu Ming had long adapted to the skill of "multitasking", operating the gamepad while talking to Shokuhou Misaki in his mind.

“…Senior Wu Ming, so you really don't plan to do anything about this?” Shokuhou Misaki asked.

Because it was direct communication of mind and thoughts, Lin Wu Ming knew that this girl was referring to the matter of encountering Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl Magnus today.

To put it more bluntly, it is the plot involved in the first volume of the original story—the main body of "A Certain Magical Index" Index Librorum Prohibitorum, and the matter of the original protagonist Kamijou Touma.

As two people who knew the plot of the original story in advance, Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wu Ming were like "prophets" at this moment, and could use the advantage of information to do many things.

However, it seems that Lin Wu Ming has no intention of taking action at present.

“Yes, I just plan to watch the show from the sidelines,” Lin Wu Ming responded, “I don't intend to intervene actively.”

“Worried about Chairman Aleister?”

“That guy probably saw it long ago, right?” Lin Wu Ming chuckled, “No, it has nothing to do with this. I just… decided to intervene as little as possible in Kamijou Touma and the magic side's related events.”

Although Lin Wu Ming was already undergoing special training to counter magicians, Accelerator was not a true magician after all, and Lin Wu Ming was not sure how much the experience he gained from him could play a role.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Of course, these are secondary,” Lin Wu Ming explained, “The real reason I don't want to intervene is—this world needs a savior. But obviously, there is and can only be one savior, and that is the original protagonist Kamijou Touma.”

“Senior Wu Ming is my savior!” Shokuhou Misaki said without thinking.

“Thank you for your compliment,” Lin Wu Ming smiled, “But it's different, I'm referring to a real, more macro "savior"—the person who saves the world in the literal sense.”

It's not that Lin Wu Ming is humble, it's just that in this world, "world-destroying crises" are also terrible disasters that exist in the literal sense, and there is more than one.

Although Lin Wu Ming is already level 5 and has a life-saving golden finger like "bullet time", in the end, the limit of what he can do is only "save his life"—only save his own life.

Not to mention the whole world, if the "world-destroying crisis" really comes, he can't even protect the girls around him.

The only one who can save the world is Kamijou Touma.

Or more precisely, "Imagine Breaker".

That will be a high-end battlefield where "world-destroying level" and "law level" powerhouses fight against each other, which is far from being able to be intervened by a mere level 5.

On the science side, apart from the "scientific angel", perhaps only the real level 6 is qualified to participate in that battlefield.

“According to the original plot, I can probably deal with all the magic side enemies before Fiamma of the Right appears,” Lin Wu Ming said, “But if I really do that, I'm worried that Kamijou Touma will not get the experience he deserves, and thus grow.”

Without so many mobs and mid-bosses accumulating experience, when the Third World War comes, let Kamijou Touma deal with Fiamma of the Right directly…

Then I'm afraid I can only pray that his right hand is strong enough.

After carefully considering the original plot, Shokuhou Misaki nodded in agreement, although she still had some disagreements in her heart: “Senior Wu Ming is right. Although I'm very unwilling, but sure enough…”

In reality, Shokuhou Misaki also frowned, just thinking about the villain characters who appeared in the later stages of the original story makes people feel disgusted.

It's like letting an elementary school student do a college entrance exam paper, even if they have seen the answers in advance, they still can't do it. Even copying the answers may not be clear!

This is not something that can be solved by so-called "prophets", or knowing the plot of the original story in advance.
