A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 162 Memory Lock
"Why are you here?" Seeing Shokuhou Misaki guarding the door, Tiger Bee Toumi took a step forward.

"Of course it's because of something~" Shokuhou Misaki looked at Lin Wuming, "It's important, I have to have a good chat with Senior Wuming~"

Shokuhou Misaki looked into Lin Wuming's eyes and silently mouthed "Misaka Sister".

"..." Lin Wuming didn't know how much information she had dug out from his mind, but it was obvious that the matter concerning "Misaka Sister" was something he could not ignore.

While silently chanting "Occlumency" in his mind to deceive himself, Lin Wuming said, "Well, it is indeed necessary to exchange information. Come in and have a drink, Shokuhou-san. What do you think, Tiger Bee?"

Hufeng Toumi didn't say anything, but just opened the door and walked in first.

Then, Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming also entered the room.

Lin Wuming walked to the kitchen as usual to prepare tea and snacks to entertain the guests.

"Wuming," he was stopped by Tiger Bee Toumi, "Does the information you want to exchange have anything to do with me?"

Lin Wuming shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

"In that case," Tiger Bee Toumi pushed him towards the living room and headed to the kitchen, "I'll make some tea. You can go exchange information with Shokuhou Misaki."

Tiger Bee Toumi acted as if he didn't want to interfere or eavesdrop on the conversation.

Lin Wuming wanted to say, "It's okay if you listen together," but after all, it was related to "Misaka Sisters", and it was not information that could be leaked easily, so he gave up for the time being.

Back in the living room, Shokuhou Misaki was already sitting in the most comfortable spot on the sofa. She knew this apartment as well as the three other residents.

Lin Wuming didn't care about her attitude - after all, she was the queen, so it was normal for her to be a little willful.

He picked up the canned drinks that Yomigawa Aiho had bought and placed on the table, opened one for Shokuhou Misaki and handed it to her.

"So, what happened today, Shokuhou-san?" Lin Wuming asked.

"Well," Shokuhou Misaki took the drink and glanced at it, "today at the hospital, someone came to negotiate with me on behalf of the General Council. She said her name was Kihara Yui."

There are many characters in the Muhara clan, but no matter how many of them there are, they are very troublesome. So when Lin Wuming heard the surname "Muhara", he already knew something was wrong.

But when he heard the full name of Kihara Yui, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't remember who this person was.

This is not surprising, after all, Kihara Yui's official appearance in the original work is relatively late, and he doesn't have many roles. Most of the time, he plays the role of a mastermind.

However, in terms of threat level, Kihara Yui is one of the most difficult to deal with.

Apart from anything else, the "hover loop" that Chairman Aleister used to collect intelligence was Kihara's only research result.

——Standing in the short circuit?
Shokuhou Misaki caught the key words again, and then understood them in depth. When she looked at the familiar environment around her, her eyes changed.

"What a nuisance! This damn place is..." Shokuhou Misaki muttered softly, clutching her forehead. "Anyway, I've made a pact with that Kihara Yui that no information about Dolly will be leaked. In exchange, I and all the children who leave the 'Career House' will be guaranteed safety."

"Senior Wuming, you and I are not allowed to leak any relevant information," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Any information."

"…Who is Dolly?" Lin Wuming understood and asked. "She's one of the girls Wuming-senpai saved. It's okay if you don't remember her—in fact, it's just as well this way," Shokuhou Misaki replied with a straight face.

But at the same time, she was also complaining in Lin Wuming's mind: "It's too fake. Senior Wuming's acting is too stiff, isn't it? No one will believe that you really don't remember Dolly..."

After learning about the "hover loop", a monitoring device that could be considered a bug, Shokuhou Misaki immediately decided to move all important communications into her mind and use her superpowers to communicate.

"Anyway, Wuming-senpai, don't worry too much for now. I've already made it up—using the excuse of face blindness," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Wuming-senpai, just be careful in your daily life and don't mention anything about Misaka Sisters."

"I understand." Lin Wuming nodded and answered directly in reality.

"Also," Shokuhou Misaki put down the canned drink in her hand and took out the remote control from her bag, "just in case, I need to put a little lock on Wuming-senpai's brain to prevent other telepaths from snooping into your inner thoughts."

Lin Wuming fell silent. Honestly, even knowing Shokuhou Misaki wouldn't harm him, facing a superpower like "Mind Mastery" that could directly alter memories and thought patterns, he still felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, I won't touch Wuming-senpai's memories. I'll just add a 'firewall' on the outside, so that other psychic users can only see Wuming-senpai's superficial thoughts," Shokuhou Misaki explained. "If Wuming-senpai learns to control the content of his superficial thoughts, it will be enough to deal with most situations."

——This is much more reliable than that "brain occlumency"...

Shokuhou Misaki complained in her heart.

Of course, on the surface, she did not expose Lin Wuming's self-deceiving efforts.

Shokuhou Misaki did come to see Lin Wuming for something important, but this important matter was very brief and could be explained in just a few words.

The tiger bee honey was brewed into tea, and when I came to the living room, the "Please report the exchange" was over.

"It's so bitter!" After taking a small bite, Shokuhou Misaki's face suddenly fell.

Green tea without sugar does taste bitter.

The kitchen at home has always been managed by Lin Wuming, but Hufeng Toumi cannot be said to be completely incompetent in cooking skills. However, since the guest is Shokuhou Misaki, it doesn't matter and he can just do things perfunctorily.

Just grab a handful of super double tea leaves, then add hot water, and the pot of tea is ready.

This tea was originally bought by Lin Wuming himself. It was his own hobby. Of course, he was already accustomed to and could enjoy the bitterness and sweetness of tea.

But for a little girl like Shokuhou Misaki, she would definitely not like this "bitterness of adults".

The reason was that Toumi herself didn't like this kind of tea. Like Shokuhou Misaki and the others, she usually added sugar and milk to flavor her tea, even when making black tea.

"Forget it, Senior Wuming should drink this tea by himself..." Of course, Shokuhou Misaki saw through Tiger Bee Toumi's little thoughts at a glance, but she didn't care.

After all, this is someone else's home ground, and Tiger Bee's attack power is indeed sharp. There is no need to conflict with this petty girl.

He casually pressed the remote control and locked Lin Wuming's memory information before he realized it.
