A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 10 The time traveler is exposed!

—Even though it was an accidental injury, and even though I've generously forgiven him and said I won't pursue any responsibility... those are just polite words! Aren't you Japanese the best at reading the air? Please understand! At least find me a new roommate and keep this guy away from me!

Lin Wuming was complaining wildly in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was in an unfamiliar place, an orphan, and had no one to rely on. If he didn't keep a low profile at this time, he might get into trouble...

——That’s not right. I have traveled through time and even have super powers. I am no longer the humble worker I used to be. Why should I be so cautious?
Lin Wuming suddenly realized that after all this time, he had been reading the air!
Besides, I am only a child of eleven or twelve years old now. I can just say whatever I want to say. Children speak without restraint.

"Lin Wuming, do you know the girl just now?" At this time, Hufeng Toumi suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear, asking the same question again.

Lin Wuming could almost feel the hairs on his left side standing on end. His body was deeply impressed by the terrifying nature of this girl.

Even though I know rationally that this girl won't attack me again... maybe?

Resisting the urge to use telekinesis to send her flying, Lin Wuming said, "That girl just now? It's better to say I know her name than to say I know her. I know her, but she may not know me."

"Is she famous?" Hufeng Toumi seemed to have entered the normal chat mode and asked casually.

"Shokuhou Misaki is a psychic ability user." Lin Wuming thought for a moment and added, "She's said to have the potential to become a level 5, so she's quite famous."

Shokuhou Misaki's qualifications shouldn't be a secret, right? As Lin Wuming spoke, he turned back to observe the expressions of the doctor and the security teacher.

Just in case, I have to give a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't explain how I, an experimental subject imprisoned in an illegal research institution, know such a person.

Sure enough, except for the tiger bee, no one else showed any surprise.

After all, Shokuhou Misaki is the "advisor" hired by the guard force, so how could they not know her basic information?

"Level 5... is that so awesome?" Tiger Bee Toumi also turned around to look at the girl who had walked away, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"He just has the qualifications, but he's probably not level 5 yet." Lin Wuming added quickly.

"I'm level 4." Tiger Bee Toumi suddenly said.

"Sure enough..." Lin Wuming was not surprised. After all, the other person was able to defeat him easily, so it was normal for him to have a higher ability level.

"However," Lin Wuming thought of another concerning issue, "Why is Shokuhou Misaki in the hospital?"

She didn't look sick or injured.

Thinking carefully, Shokuhou Misaki was wearing a white long gown, similar in style to a patient's hospital gown.

Could it be... A nonsensical guess suddenly emerged in Lin Wuming's mind - could this be the base of the "Cai'an's House"?

But then he shook his head and dismissed this unreliable guess.

"Lin Wuming, you really care about that girl." The voice of Tiger Bee came from behind again.

"I'm just a little concerned. After all, she's a psychology expert." Lin Wuming said, "Don't you care about her too?"

"I just feel a little unhappy with her."

"Don't attack them!" Lin Wuming said quickly.

"How is that possible? I'm not the type to hurt innocent people..." Feeling that it was a bit unmanly to say that in front of Lin Wuming, Hufeng Toumi quickened his pace, pushing the wheelchair forward at high speed. "So, are we going back to the ward or to the restaurant?"

"The restaurant is fine. Thank you for your hard work." Lin Wuming rubbed his brow with telekinesis, feeling exhausted. After being interrupted like this, it seemed that he had missed the opportunity to ask for a roommate change...

"Your Majesty...are you addressing me like that?" Shokuhou Misaki, sitting in the car after leaving the hospital, recalled the moment when she met Lin Wuming just now.

To be honest, Lin Wuming's logically consistent self-explanation really opened her eyes.

If she hadn't confirmed it repeatedly, she would definitely think that Lin Wuming was deliberately performing a monologue for her!

The gains from this meeting were greater than expected. Furthermore, there was credibility.

Putting aside other things, at least the existence of Chairman Aleister and the "Kihara Clan" mentioned by Lin Wuming is something only the most knowledgeable people would know about. Compared to them, most of the illegal laboratories in Academy City are not worth mentioning, and are even just low-level institutions working for them.

From this point alone, it can be confirmed that there is indeed real material in Lin Wuming's mind.

"The so-called time traveler, could it be that his superpower is related to time?" Shokuhou Misaki also made a reasonable guess.

Otherwise, how could he know that he would join the "Talent Workshop" and eventually become level 5?

Although Lin Wuming misjudged the time and thought that she had not yet entered the "Talent Workshop", it was precisely because of this deviation that it further proved that Lin Wuming had the "correct" information.

In the second half of the encounter, Lin Wuming tried to get away with it by "playing dumb", but in fact, it did not cause any trouble to "Psychological Control" at all.

Instead, Shokuhou Misaki saw through him without any resistance...

If it weren't for the limitations of level 4's "mental control" and "reading speed", she would have read the entire series of works such as "A Certain Magical Index", "A Certain Scientific Railgun", "Phantom Sisters", etc. in just that one encounter.

With this quick glance, Shokuhou Misaki only had time to glimpse part of what Lin Wuming was thinking about.

But even this was enough to surprise her and take her time to digest.

However, due to the preconceived first impression, the image of Lin Wuming's "delusional" nature always lingered in Shokuhou Misaki's mind.

Therefore, she could not completely believe the information she obtained from Lin Wuming's memory.

"First of all, according to the information he provided, Academy City will have seven Level 5s in two years, and I rank fifth in 'Psychological Mastery'..." Shokuhou Misaki was a little dissatisfied with this ranking.

In other words, they were dissatisfied with the "A Certain Scientific Railgun" which ranked third.

For some unknown reason, in Lin Wuming's memory information, another girl, Level 5 "A Certain Scientific Railgun" Misaka Mikoto, occupies a particularly large proportion.

"A year later, that girl named Misaka Mikoto and I will both enter Tokiwadai Junior High School, one of the top five prestigious schools. It seems that with this as an opportunity, we are like tied together and are always mentioned in the same breath..." Shokuhou Misaki pinched her chin as she recalled the memory information she had just seen.

Of course, this statement was actually embellished by Shokuhou Misaki without authorization.

In fact, in Lin Wuming's memory information, "Shokuhou Misaki" is actually an accessory of "Misaka Mikoto"; every time Misaka Mikoto is mentioned, he will "incidentally" remember that there is another level 5 queen in Tokiwadai Middle School. Of course, her presence is not very high.

"It's as if Misaka Mikoto is the heroine...but she's just a girl who can only randomly emit electric shocks and flick coins!" Shokuhou Misaki determined that this memory information was definitely inaccurate.

"And..." She looked down and saw the flat ground, and she could see her lower abdomen directly.

Then compare it with the image of himself as an adult in Lin Wuming's memory...

"How could a normal human being grow at such a rate? This is just his delusion as a boy!" Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but complain.
