A Scientific Urban Detective

Seeing those pure white "feathers" drifting towards him, Lin Wuming was even more nervous than Touma Kamijou.

After all, Lin Wuming knew the power of these "feathers," so he certainly wouldn't let them touch him.

However, these "feathers" were in a very special state. They seemed to be just images, without substance. Lin Wuming's telekinesis swept over them, but it was difficult to interfere with these "feathers."

Kanzaki Kaori and Misaka Mikoto's attacks were also ineffective against these "feathers."

—If it really comes down to it, I'll have to retreat. According to the original plot, these "feathers" shouldn't exist for too long. If I can't afford to provoke them, can't I at least avoid them!

"Wuming-senpai————" Misaka Mikoto's尖叫声suddenly came from his ear. She seemed really anxious this time, even her tone was distorted...

No, it wasn't Misaka Mikoto's voice that changed, but...

"Bullet Time?" Lin Wuming came back to his senses and realized that the environment around him had become "frozen."

"What's going on? Am I in a life-threatening crisis again?" Lin Wuming was a little dazed.

—Except for the duel with Kakine Teitoku, it seemed like it had been a long time since he had entered "Bullet Time"!

As expected of the main story of the original work, the danger factor is no joke!

Now that things had come to this, Lin Wuming calmed down instead.

In "Bullet Time," the one thing Lin Wuming didn't lack was time. He could slowly find the source of the life-threatening crisis and then resolve it...

Soon, Lin Wuming found the culprit behind all of this.

As expected, it was a "feather."

At some point, a pure white feather had quietly appeared above Lin Wuming's head, even touching the hair on his forehead.

An indescribable feeling spread throughout his body from the top of his head. Lin Wuming's body and instincts were sending out sharp alarms, reminding him that a "life-threatening crisis" had arrived.

It was hard to say whether hair was part of the body, but the feather's magic did transmit through the hair—this mechanism might be valid in the magic side.

Lin Wuming decisively decided to cut off the hair that had been contaminated by the feather.

But before Lin Wuming could take action, a sharp blade of light cut through "Bullet Time," cutting off a strand of hair from his forehead first.

Lin Wuming glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a thin steel wire slowly retracting into Kanzaki Kaori's hand.

As expected of a Saint who is skilled in swordsmanship, her attack speed is so fast that it's suffocating!

Lin Wuming couldn't help but want to applaud and praise, but he found that he couldn't move—he was still in "Bullet Time," and the life-threatening crisis had not been resolved!

Even worse, the "feather" above his head had disappeared!

Lin Wuming felt his thinking begin to slow down, and his brain became numb...

—I'm sorry, Touma Kamijou, I'll cover all your medical and nutritional expenses!

After sincerely apologizing in his heart, Lin Wuming grabbed Touma Kamijou, who was half-lying at his feet.

Then, he forcibly twisted Touma Kamijou's body, using inertia to swing his "Imagine Breaker" towards the top of his head.

Pa!

Maybe it was just his imagination, but Lin Wuming seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

—But it definitely wasn't his skull, after all, it had been strengthened with telekinesis.

This time, he could finally confirm—"Imagine Breaker" was also effective against "Bullet Time."

This was the first time Lin Wuming had escaped from "Bullet Time" in this way, but at the same time, the strange feeling of erosion in his brain suddenly disappeared.

Even after Touma Kamijou's right hand had moved away, Lin Wuming did not enter "Bullet Time" again.

—Life-threatening crisis, successfully resolved.

It could be said that this was the closest Lin Wuming had come to "death," apart from the last time he was attacked by "Dark Matter."

Letting out a long breath, Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel his legs weaken, staggering backwards.

Misaka Mikoto rushed forward and hugged Lin Wuming, using her body to support him.

"Thank you..." Lin Wuming didn't have time to feel lingering fear and quickly looked ahead.

For some reason, the feathers that had been falling and chasing after Touma Kamijou had all disappeared.

After waiting for a while, everything was calm, and no other strange magic effects appeared.

It seemed that this incident had finally come to an end.

...

In the long-unvisited hospital room, the frog-faced doctor Heaven Canceller looked over with a smile: "It's been a while. If I calculate correctly, it's been quite a while since you've been back, Lin Wuming. Do you miss this place?"

"Don't jinx me, doctor," Lin Wuming said. "If I could, I wouldn't want to see you in the hospital!"

"It's right not to want to see a doctor," Heaven Canceller nodded. "Only a happy life without illness or disaster doesn't need our doctors' intervention."

"Can we pause the idle chat?" Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but interrupt the two's pointless conversation. "Doctor, please explain Wuming-senpai's condition first!"

Misaka Mikoto was staring at Heaven Canceller's face. Hearing Misaki Shokuhou's protest, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, how is Wuming-senpai now?"

Mitsuari Ayu was silent, but also cast a concerned gaze.

"According to the test results," Heaven Canceller said, flipping through the information in his hand, "and based on my personal experience, Lin Wuming's physical condition is completely normal, without any illness or injury. Compared to two years ago, he's like a different person, as healthy as can be."

Heaven Canceller said with emotion: "And you sit in a wheelchair every day. How did you train to get this physical fitness that's comparable to an athlete's?"

"So," Lin Wuming automatically skipped the irrelevant topic and confirmed again, "that is to say, the incident that happened last night didn't cause me any harm?"

"Yes," Heaven Canceller nodded seriously. "There is no damage—at least within my range of experience, I haven't found any problems."

Then, the famous doctor rarely showed a hint of hesitation: "Except for..."

"Except for this strand of hair," Lin Wuming raised his hand and touched a strand of white hair on his forehead.

Judging from the location, it was the strand of hair that was touched by the "feather" last night and became contaminated.

He remembered that these few strands of hair were clearly cut off by Kanzaki Kaori's superb slash, close to the scalp.

But for some reason, when everyone came back to their senses, they suddenly realized that this strand of hair on Lin Wuming's forehead had grown back.

The reason why it was recognized at a glance was because this strand of hair had turned white for some unknown reason.

The same color as the feathers at the time, even giving people the illusion that it was "emitting a faint white light."

"Yes," Heaven Canceller also looked emotional. "Except for these few white hairs."
