A Scientific Urban Detective

“Lin… Lin Wuming?” Someone seemed to recognize the boy surrounded by them.

“That's me.” The boy in the wheelchair responded immediately.

Lin Wuming was also very troubled. At this time, he could naturally see that the vast majority of the people around him were innocent bystanders.

They had no subjective malice, and might not even know about the illegal experiments conducted by 'Talent Manufacturing'.

But at this moment, they were effectively forming an obstacle, surrounding Lin Wuming and Honey-colored Bee, and blocking Dory and Keisatsu Kanzaki's path.

After hearing the name Lin Wuming, even more people recognized him—recently, people had seen his interviews and reports to varying degrees.

“Lin Wuming, what are you doing here?” Recalling the events mentioned in the interview reports, someone finally came to their senses. “Could it be that our 'Talent Manufacturing' is also an illegal experimental institution?”

Lin Wuming said loudly, “I just received a call for help and came to pick up a girl whose life is in danger, please don't interfere with us!”

The people gathered at the entrance stirred again. The vast majority of the people present were ordinary people. Avoiding risks and staying away from trouble is human nature.

Therefore, even though the people in front of them were just two teenagers, after realizing that they did indeed have a legitimate reason, no one wanted to continue stopping them; at the very least, they wanted to stay away from this controversial place first.

“This is an important research institute, how can we let a few kids run wild?” Someone in the crowd shouted, while also encouraging the crowd not to retreat.

The surrounding human wall wriggled for a while, but ultimately did not disperse.

Lin Wuming and Honey-colored Bee exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes…

No, only Lin Wuming was helpless. Honey-colored Bee had already activated her ability, the ribbon in her hand was stretched straight, and her eyes showed no wavering.

Realizing this, Lin Wuming felt even more of a headache.

—I didn't expect to encounter this kind of obstruction… Speaking of which, what is Misaki Shokuhou doing? Her ability should be very useful in this situation, right?

Misaki Shokuhou was fighting on another invisible battlefield.

Her opponent was Gensei Kihara. To be precise, it was Gensei Kihara who was manipulating the 'Exterior Brain' using a backdoor program.

Lin Wuming's memory intelligence was correct, and Misaki Shokuhou's precautions were also correct—Gensei Kihara had indeed tampered with the 'Exterior Brain'.

The 'Exterior Brain' had been constructed and entered the final debugging stage. Just today, Gensei Kihara, who was in charge of developing this project, decided to verify his development results.

—Whether the backdoor program could be used to bypass Misaki Shokuhou's own will and allow other users to indirectly obtain the superpower 'Mental Out' through the 'Exterior Brain'.

—And, through such probing, to assess Misaki Shokuhou's current true strength.

Gensei Kihara was already suspecting that Misaki Shokuhou was hiding her true ability level; if that was really the case, did she already know the truth about the entire research project?

The 'Exterior Brain' and 'Internal Evolution' were two separately running research projects. Although these two were essentially one, theoretically, Misaki Shokuhou should not know anything about the 'Exterior Brain'.

But after all, she was 'Mental Out', even if she hadn't reached Level 5 yet, she possessed the strongest mind-reading ability in the entire city. Gensei Kihara didn't expect to be able to keep it a secret from her.

The question now was, to what extent did Misaki Shokuhou understand? To what extent had she used the 'Exterior Brain'?

From any point of view, the 'Exterior Brain' was 'Misaki Shokuhou's property', so she naturally had the highest authority over the 'Exterior Brain'.

Even if Gensei Kihara left a backdoor program during the system development process, he could only secretly 'borrow' her superpower, rather than completely usurp it; the best result was that the two sides didn't interfere with each other and 'shared' the power of this equipment.

If he was unlucky, the outsider's authority might be discovered and expelled by Misaki Shokuhou.

From this point of view, the 'Exterior Brain' project had actually failed. After all, their initial goal was to obtain a weapon that could freely use 'Mental Out'—like a gun, no matter who picked up the gun, they could fire a bullet as long as they pulled the trigger.

In other words, the original intention of the 'Exterior Brain' was a mind-reading and brainwashing device that anyone could use. The organization or individual who mastered this weapon could make full use of it to do all sorts of things.

But now, the gun had been made, but it had become Misaki Shokuhou's exclusive weapon…

In order to salvage some losses as much as possible, Gensei Kihara left a backdoor program in the system, retaining the possibility for others to 'borrow' this weapon to a certain extent.

Before the entire 'Exterior Brain' was finalized, it was necessary to conduct a practical exercise of this function.

Gensei Kihara had been paying attention to Misaki Shokuhou's movements and had always cautiously maintained a distance to avoid being affected by 'Mental Out'.

Therefore, many of Misaki Shokuhou's actions could not be hidden from this old man, including her three contacts with Lin Wuming.

For a test subject who should have been locked in 'Talent Manufacturing' to cooperate with research, this frequency was a bit too high.

So, Lin Wuming also attracted Gensei Kihara's attention.

Today at noon, Lin Wuming acted again, and his movement of driving his wheelchair all the way to 'Talent Manufacturing' was naturally known by Gensei Kihara in the first time.

Gensei Kihara was only nominally in the Third Research Laboratory 'Internal Evolution', he actually had his own research institute and research project, and didn't care about the life or death of 'Talent Manufacturing'.

But coincidentally, since he was just about to test the 'Exterior Brain', Gensei Kihara didn't mind using this opportunity to help his partner a little.

So there was the scene at the beginning, where all the employees of 'Talent Manufacturing' poured out and surrounded Lin Wuming.

If it was just Junzo Kuriba ordering and the middle-level cadres mobilizing, how could the personnel have been assembled so quickly and efficiently, and surrounded Lin Wuming so quickly and quietly?

It was just because Gensei Kihara used the 'Exterior Brain' to conduct psychological suggestion on all the staff of 'Talent Manufacturing'.

And the moment Gensei Kihara connected to the 'Exterior Brain' through the backdoor program, he was detected by Misaki Shokuhou.

Because she had Lin Wuming's memory intelligence 'spoiler', she was prepared and quickly judged the situation without panic.

“It's been verified again, Senior Wuming's memory intelligence accuracy is really high~” The golden-haired, starry-eyed girl muttered to herself.
