A Scientific Urban Detective

"Well done, Misaka Mikoto!"
Seeing Touma finally find his way, Lin Wuming contentedly bid farewell and left.
The rest is for Touma to explore on his own.
Just as planned, Lin Wuming didn't want to get too involved in the magic side of the original story.
At most, he would observe in secret, and help Touma when necessary, to prevent him from dying prematurely...
After all, the main story had already begun, and the nurturing of the "savior" was imminent.
"Wuming-senpai, is it really okay to leave them alone?" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but ask on the way home.
Moreover, because she didn't see the perfect resolution of the incident, Misaka Mikoto still felt very concerned.
"This is fine," Lin Wuming said, "This is an internal affair of the magicians. Touma was chosen by them. As for us... we are all high-level espers in Academy City, so it's best not to get too close to magicians."
"Eh? That doesn't sound like Wuming-senpai's style at all," Misaka Mikoto said, "I thought Wuming-senpai would help people to the end."
In Misaka Mikoto's view, the actions of the Anglican Church towards Index could be considered a kind of "illegal human experimentation," right?
"The real world is very complicated, Misaka," Lin Wuming said, but his eyes met Misaka Mikoto's expectant and trusting gaze.
"But don't worry, I'll be patrolling around here these days. If anything unexpected happens, I'll rush over as soon as possible."
"I'll go with you!" Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up and she said immediately.
——Wuming-senpai, you're just spoiling her...
Shokuhou Misaki silently rolled her eyes.
——Ahem, it's not really spoiling, I was planning to observe in secret anyway. When necessary, I really want to save that unlucky Touma, at least prevent him from losing his memory again.
Originally, some of the incidents that Touma used to gain experience were taken by Lin Wuming. If he has to delete his account and start over... I'm afraid he really won't make it in time for the Third World War in a few months!
By the way, Lin Wuming also wanted to save the innocent satellite "Weaver One" in the sky, and the "Tree Diagram Designer" on board.
Technology itself is innocent. You must know that the "Tree Diagram Designer" is the most powerful supercomputer in Academy City; it can even accurately predict the weather within Academy City—it's like a "Laplace's demon" in a specific area.
Such a powerful computer was inexplicably destroyed by a "stray bullet" at the beginning, which was a very unjust death.
Therefore, Lin Wuming planned to pay close attention to the situation at the safe house. When "Dragon's Breath" appeared, he would intervene in time to prevent it from hitting the "Weaver One" in the sky.
To this end, Lin Wuming specially retrieved the orbit of the "Weaver One" satellite after returning home, and calculated its relative position to the safe house in conjunction with the map.
At that time, he only needs to destroy the foothold under Index's feet to indirectly control the shooting trajectory of "Dragon's Breath".
It may be difficult to make it accurately hit a certain target, but it will be much easier to make it avoid a certain target.
In the following days, Lin Wuming kept in touch with Touma every day to keep abreast of the latest situation of Index.
Perhaps because it was not the last moment, the "collar" on Index did not activate, so Touma couldn't find a magic circle to destroy for a while, so he could only stay by Index's side as much as possible and continue to wait.
By the way, he also continued to try to find the magical traces of the culprit. During this period, in order not to miss any suspicious magical traces, Touma had been punished by Index many times for crimes such as "being a pervert", and his head was full of bite marks every day.
Of course, there was no need to tell Lin Wuming these details on the phone...
"It seems like another peaceful day today." Misaka Mikoto stood in the alley and looked in the direction of the safe house.
A group of delinquents were lying on the ground beside her, and some people's hands and feet twitched from time to time, showing what kind of attack they had been knocked down by.
"You really never get tired of this," Lin Wuming shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene, "Be careful not to be complained about again."
Lin Wuming was not obsessed with the functional difference between ordinary citizens and disciplinary committee members, as long as Misaka Mikoto was happy. Anyway, she now controlled her strength well, and those who were electrocuted would not even have any sequelae, just suffer a little.
"It's not my fault for taking the initiative to cause trouble!" Misaka Mikoto quickly explained, "It's all their fault!"
She pointed to the delinquents at her feet and said: "Today, a classmate came to me and cried, saying that she was molested by delinquents when she went out to play... it's this group of people!"
"Your classmate... is she okay?" Lin Wuming asked.
Although the young ladies of Tokiwadai Middle School are all high-level espers above level 3, they are particularly naive and slow in some aspects because they are ignorant of the world, and it is indeed easy to suffer losses.
Especially the freshmen who entered school this year—because factional struggles have almost ceased to exist, this year's freshmen have not even cultivated the most basic "fighting spirit".
"Don't worry, those young ladies are just innocent, not really stupid," Misaka Mikoto said, "It's always okay to run away when they encounter danger. And these gangsters only dare to do evil in these dark corners, and they don't dare to chase them out."
The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!
Misaka Mikoto originally planned to "challenge" the delinquents, and this time she had a justifiable reason, so it was even more impossible to let them go.
Lin Wuming naturally did not have any good feelings for the delinquents—or armed powerless groups.
It is undeniable that there will be special cases like "Big Spider" among them, but on the whole, they have all been reduced to "gangsters", and you can imagine that they can't be good people.
Therefore, Lin Wuming just symbolically reminded Misaka Mikoto, and never really stopped her behavior.
"It's getting late, it seems like another calm day today." Lin Wuming looked at his phone, then looked in the direction of the safe house, "Where are you planning to stay today?"
Misaka Mikoto said with a look of regret: "Back to the dormitory, it seems that I have done too much recently and have already made the dormitory supervisor unhappy."
The fact proves that the dormitory supervisor who rules the entire dormitory building actually knows everything, but sometimes she will cooperate and turn a blind eye.
But doing too much, such as not returning to the dormitory for several days in a row, I am afraid that it will really touch the dormitory supervisor's inverse scales.
"And it's really a bit too much to always trouble Kuroko," Misaka Mikoto said, scratching her head.
"Don't you bring food back to her? That's even," Lin Wuming said with a smile.
In the days since the summer vacation began, although she didn't stay at Family Side every day, Misaka Mikoto ate dinner at Aiho Kiyama's house every day.
In order to express her gratitude to Shirai Kuroko, Misaka Mikoto specially asked Lin Wuming to prepare an extra portion of dinner and bring it to Shirai Kuroko when she returned to the dormitory.
"Because Kuroko said that she is very interested in Wuming-senpai's cooking," Misaka Mikoto said, "This is just a small effort for me, the real person to thank is Wuming-senpai, it has nothing to do with me."
