A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 17 Shokuhou Misaki's Actions

Lin Wuming's superpower level was inexplicably upgraded, and it was assessed that it was related to the "Dark May" plan - although it was only at the level of "possibility", the researchers present instantly perked up.

No matter what the truth is, we cannot let go of such a precious experimental subject, even if it is to obtain more budget in the future!
——After realizing this, everyone in the conference room began breathing heavily.

The middle-aged man rubbed his brow and spoke again, "So, let's carefully and thoughtfully make our final decision—how should we deal with Subject 007?"

Is there still a choice?
The project leader explicitly used the term "experimental subject" to refer to individual No. 007 - he had actually made his position clear.

All the researchers present are core members of the project. Whether for academic research or other personal interests, they are deeply bound to the "Dark May" plan.

"Then let's start the voting." The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said with a smile.

……

After a week in the hospital, Lin Wuming completed the discharge procedures and returned to his future "home" under the escort of teacher Huang Quanchuan Aihui in a police car.

Lin Wuming's injuries have stabilized. Apart from still needing to rely on a wheelchair to move around, with the help of his telepathic ability, he is almost no different from an ordinary person, at least he has no inconvenience in his daily life.

Since "solving the case" that day, Lin Wuming has not encountered the ghost chasing from the underworld again, which makes him feel a little disappointed.

However, it was also because his minor injuries were not worth alarming the big boss of the Underworld Soul Chaser; or in other words, Lin Wuming's self-healing ability eliminated the need for the Underworld Soul Chaser to take action.

After taking a look at the ward that day, Mingtu Zhuihun decisively turned around and left to treat Dr. Sakurai.

In comparison, Dr. Sakurai was the one who was really on the verge of death. Because of excessive blood loss and the delay in the best time for rescue, although she was no longer in danger of life, she showed no signs of waking up until Lin Wuming was discharged from the hospital.

Hufeng Toumi comes to the hospital to visit Dr. Sakurai every day, and also visits Lin Wuming by the way.

"Bye, I'll visit you when I'm free." Tiger Bee Toumi said this when saying goodbye at the hospital gate.

However, this was more like talking to Huang Quanchuan Aihui than saying goodbye to Lin Wuming.

"You're welcome anytime!" Yomikawa Aiho responded readily.

……

Shokuhou Misaki got up and left her room, walking towards the laboratory along the route she was already familiar with.

Because she was a talented candidate, she enjoyed certain "privileges" in the institute. For example, no one required her to get up early on time and she could sleep as long as she wanted.

It was 8:30 in the morning. At this time, the other children in the institute had already gotten up and started a new day of study or research on their respective projects.

Although the distance was a bit far, while walking in the corridor, Shokuhou Misaki could already hear the loud noises coming from the adjacent building.

"You're so serious..." Shokuhou Misaki yawned and sighed silently.

She knew who was causing all this commotion—Junko Hokaze, a member of the "Ideal Ability" project team in the adjacent Second Research Lab. She was also the highest-ranking esper in the entire "Talent Workshop"—recently promoted to a Level 4 esper.

Considering that Shokuhou Misaki herself had previously concealed her true ability level, Hokaze Junko is the only level 4 on the surface, so she has recently received considerable attention from researchers.

"That girl is a serious person herself. She's working even harder to meet this expectation, right?" Shokuhou Misaki walked leisurely, a hint of a sneer forming in her heart. "It's a pity that no matter how hard she tries, she's destined to never make it to level 5."

Shokuhou Misaki, who could easily read the researchers' inner thoughts, had long known that due to resource and funding issues, the adults had long ago given up on the plan to continue training Hokaze Junko, and had stopped her at level 4.

Yes, the development of superpowers is indeed the main goal of any research institute, but this goal is also constrained by practical interests.

Ultimately, it comes down to various resources, mainly funds, and when resources are limited, trade-offs must be made.

The "Caigongfang" is backed by "Kihara", making it a strong research institution. It has three research labs under its jurisdiction, each with the resources required to train a Level 5.

But even so, it is still impossible to cover everything, and resources will never be enough.

Just like the third laboratory "Internal Evolution" where Shokuhou Misaki was, after deciding to fully train Shokuhou Misaki, it gave up on another girl with equal talent, Mitsuari Ayu.

The situation of Junko Hokaze is similar. As the name suggests, the second research laboratory she is in, "Ideal Ability", mainly focuses on developing an "ideal universal ability", which is completely unrelated to Junko Hokaze's "Perfect Clothing".

Fanfeng Runzi's rapid progress was actually an unexpected surprise for the research institute, and it was beyond the plan from the beginning.

This also means that the training resources she can obtain are extremely limited.

In fact, the researchers who were directly responsible for managing Runko Fanfeng had known this fact for a long time, but for various reasons, no one had ever told her this cruel truth.

"What a poor thing," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Should we tell her the truth in advance so she doesn't do this anymore..."

She suddenly stopped, a thoughtful expression on her face. "In advance...why do I say that? It's as if...I've already seen the future."

In fact, Shokuhou Misaki knew the reason - Lin Wuming also saw the figure of Hokaze Junko in his memory information.

In the future... in Lin Wuming's mind, Hokaze Runko will be his best friend and subordinate. Although she has a good personality, she is a very aggressive girl. She can be said to be the future fighting force of the Shokuhou faction!

"Hmm... Shokuhou faction..." Shokuhou Misaki muttered, "Why would they bother with something so troublesome?"

Just like when I mentioned myself, Misaka Mikoto would appear (actually it was just the opposite), and the girl with curly hair, Junko Hokaze, was almost tied to me, and I could be said to be inseparable from her.

Although it is still not certain whether Lin Wuming's memory information is true or false, since she thought about it, Shokuhou Misaki decided to take a look at her possible future follower.
