A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 108 Communication in the Department of Psychology
Umi's ability is "Psychological Regulation," currently a Level 3 Strong ability. This ability allows her to freely adjust the distance between people.

In simpler terms, it can be roughly understood as controlling others' "favorability" towards oneself. By adjusting "favorability", even strangers can instantly become Umi Miku's "closest person" the moment they meet.

It was by utilizing this ability that Umi Mukusai was able to easily sneak into today's tea party and mingle with Yujian Rulu and the others.

Even though none of the girls present knew her.

and so……

"How do you know my name?" Yu Cai Haimei asked again.

Then, she suddenly stopped and did not move closer to the other person.

——Who is this girl?
After careful recollection, Yucai Haimei was surprised to find that she could not find any information about this girl!
You know, before this mission began, Toshizo had already provided the personal information of all the experimental subjects in the institute. At least the basic information such as name, age and appearance was available.

Just now, Yucai Haimei carefully recalled all the information she had seen, but found that there was no information about this doll-like girl at all.

"Hehe..." The girl chuckled twice, waved her hand, and turned away. "Do you know, classmate Yucai Haimei, there are ghosts in this research institute~"

Yu Cai Haimei's face turned pale. She didn't believe in ghost stories or anything like that, but the "doll girl" in front of her was even scarier than the so-called ghost!
——Because “psychological rules” don’t work for her!
Yucai Haimei's feet seemed to be filled with lead, she stood there motionless, not trying to catch up with the girl.

"This research institute is very unusual! We must re-evaluate the difficulty of the mission!"

When the "doll girl" disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor, Yucai Haimei did not chase after her. Instead, she turned around and ran to the office. She wanted to report the matter to her boss.

Mitsuari Ayu drew her fingers on the wall while strolling down the corridor with a swaying step.

"Jakusai Umi, and two other companions, belong to the Anbu organization 'School', and were hired by Tongdong Shunzo to protect this experiment - how do you think this information is? Are you satisfied, Soki-chan~"

As he spoke, the camera of the mobile phone in his other hand was already pointed at the other side of the corridor.

The girl with blonde hair and starry eyes leaned against the wall, holding the remote control in one hand and taking precautions.

"Is there no more specific information? Like information about her two companions?" Shokuhou Misaki complained.

"I can't help it. After all, I'm just a small and weak level 3. I don't have the powerful superpowers of Souki-chan~" Mitsuari Ayu narrowed her eyes, "I'm so sorry~"

"Tsk!" The other party was basically imitating her way of speaking, which made Shokuhou Misaki very annoyed - because she knew best what kind of mentality she had when she used such a pretentious tone.

"That's why I don't like dealing with this guy!"

She didn't lower her voice, just wanting the girl opposite to hear her.

Mitsuari Ayuu smiled cheerfully, "If you want more information, I'll have to ask Souki-chan to come in person~"

"Hmph, knowing the name of the organization and one of its members is enough!" Shokuhou Misaki said, "I'll find the rest using my own methods."

"Eh~~" Mitsuari Ayuu stretched out her tone, "So, is the method for Fuki-chan to go and ask that hero?"

"!" Shokuhou Misaki shook violently, "You, you, what are you talking about! What hero..." Her voice quickly dropped.

"Oh no, isn't this completely exposed?!"

Even if she calmed her mind immediately, it was too late.

Although the two were now "talking" face to face, if there was a third person present, in his eyes, it would appear that Shokuhou Misaki and Mitsuari Ayu were just chatting about some ordinary topics about dinner and games, just like what ordinary students would talk about when they met by chance.

Because both Shokuhou Misaki and Mitsuari Ayumu possess psychological and psychic abilities, they are able to use their unique "encrypted call" method.

——Using words as a carrier, directly convey each other’s thoughts.

In short, this is a kind of "telepathy" ability that does not directly "invade" the other party's mind.

Because they were users of the same esper, despite the difference in their abilities, they could resist each other's effects. Even a Level 5 Shokuhou Misaki couldn't forcibly control Mitsuari Ayumu's mind with "Mind Control" if she was on guard.

In addition, the relationship between them is by no means harmonious, so it is certainly impossible for the other party's mental power to "invade" her brain.

Therefore, after mutual compromise, the method finally arrived at was this form of "dialogue through the air" that does not interfere with the other party's brain.

Just like the transmission of e-mails, each party sends an "information package" containing the content of their own thoughts to the other party in the form of a "conversation", and then the other party "decompresses" and reads it personally - thus completing the communication.

Although it is cumbersome, it is essentially still a form of spiritual communication. Given their super powers, efficiency will not be greatly affected.

It is a great way to communicate while balancing confidentiality and convenience.

The only drawback of this approach is that it is easy to reveal one's true emotions during rapid communication.

Mitsuari Aiyu smiled happily, "This is the communication method you personally decided on. It seems you still haven't mastered it enough!"

It was because she was too surprised that Shokuhou Misaki revealed her flaw.

"You can't possibly read my true thoughts," Shokuhou Misaki said, "so, I can only infer—you've also seen the news reports outside."

"There's also insider information from the researchers." Mitsuari Ayu didn't deny it, but added, "And now it's no longer speculation, it's confirmed fact."

"Yes, and I confirmed it myself." Shokuhou Misaki said self-deprecatingly.

"It's hard to imagine that people like you and me could truly trust someone," Mitsuari Ayu said. "Or has he become your puppet?"

Shokuhou Misaki raised an eyebrow, then immediately laughed. "No, the same trick won't work again. Give up this pointless temptation, Mitsuari Ayu!"

"Really? Bye then. I'm going to go back and rest." Mitsuari Ayu waved her hand and walked away.

—Well, he finally showed his flaws. It makes me curious, how could someone like you truly trust him? I wonder who he is... that hero.
