A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 262 Misaka Mikoto in Action

"What's wrong? You all look very happy." Huang Quanchuan Aihui came out after paying the bill and saw Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi chatting animatedly. "Are you satisfied with tonight's dinner?"

"About that," Lin Wuming said, "but the more important reason is that I have a clear goal for the future."

"That's right, Wuming has finally cheered up and wants to make progress!" Tiger Bee Toumi also looked relieved.

"What do you mean by wanting to improve... Wuming has always performed very well," Huang Quanchuan Aihui couldn't help but smile. "Or rather, he performed a little too well, which is a bit worrying."

"You're too kind, Mr. Huang Quanchuan." Lin Wuming said modestly, "I'm really still far from that."

……

"Lin Wuming, Hufeng Toumi, Gufa Meiwei...are the discipline committee members all such outstanding talents?" Misaka Mikoto recalled today's somewhat unusual experience.

Even for Misaka Mikoto, who has already reached level 5, today's experience was truly wonderful.

——The only regret is that I didn't have the chance to fully demonstrate my strength. When I fought directly with that "explosive demon" Mito Takami, I was not there!
Otherwise, given Misaka Mikoto's strength and personality, she should have given him a proper duel. She was also confident that she could defeat the "explosion demon."

As if feeling very sorry about this, Misaka Mikoto sighed and pressed the button on the vending machine.

With a clang, the metal can fell into the access port at the bottom.

Misaka Mikoto chose a can of sugary carbonated soda. Consuming sugar can make people happy and replenish energy. It is one of her favorite drinks.

The girl opened the pull ring with a "puff" sound, stood in front of the vending machine, and took a big gulp of the drink with her head tilted back.

"Huh!" Seemingly satisfied with the texture and taste of the drink, Misaka Mikoto nodded and turned to leave.

Although drinking this kind of beverage at night is not a healthy lifestyle habit, Misaka Mikoto doesn't care about these details.

As a top "electric shock user", she never needs to worry about problems such as fat accumulation and being overweight.

Similarly, Misaka Mikoto never worries about the safety of a beautiful girl walking alone at night.

In fact, at this moment, her location was not very good - this was a relatively remote neighborhood, and the people active at this time were basically groups of bad boys.

Shortly after Misaka Mikoto walked away, several high school-age boys came to the vending machine and prepared to buy drinks.

"Hmm?" Misaka Mikoto, who had walked less than five meters, suddenly stopped and pricked up her ears. "Underground Arena? I think I heard a familiar term..."

The boys behind me who looked like bad boys were chatting while buying drinks, and the keyword "underground arena" came up in the topic.

Regarding the "serial bombings" that occurred today, the final investigation showed that the suspect Mito Takafu Ise was related to an organization or event called "Underground Arena".

These were the messages that Misaka Mikoto "accidentally" heard from the guard unit's communications.

Of course, since Misaka Mikoto was not "eavesdropping" intentionally - she just accidentally overheard the electromagnetic communication signals around her because her superpowers were too strong - the information Misaka Mikoto could know unintentionally was very limited. At best, she knew that Mito Takagama was related to the "underground arena".

But precisely because of this, when she suddenly heard the keyword "underground arena", Misaka Mikoto immediately thought of the "explosion demon" Mito Takagama, and then she recalled today's experience and the three new members of the discipline committee - especially the legendary "hero" Lin Wuming.

"Ah, speaking of Lin Wuming," Misaka Mikoto suddenly remembered something, "I have something to ask him!" - the girl with purple hair and twin tails, the girl who was suspected of knowing clues about her own "clone".

Speaking of which, it was to investigate clues about "clones" that Misaka Mikoto went to the commercial street today to investigate.

However, his attention was diverted by a series of "explosion-related" events. When he came to his senses, he was already enthusiastically investigating the case with them.

"I have to remind Senior Lin Wuming to introduce me to that girl with purple hair and twin tails." Misaka Mikoto muttered as she remembered something important.

While she was talking to herself, a few boys in front of the vending machine were still continuing the previous topic. It was not just urban legends they heard from others, but also pure imagination and speculation. In short, they described the legendary "underground arena" with details, as if they had really witnessed it with their own eyes... no, even participated in the competition in person.

Misaka Mikoto glanced over there, then simply stopped and leaned against the wall, drinking her drink and listening to the conversation over there.

Although it was just a few adolescent boys bragging and talking nonsense, Misaka Mikoto was able to capture some valuable keywords -

Underground arenas, secret websites, live broadcasts, super firewalls... and so on.

Misaka Mikoto's eyes were bright, like a cat whose curiosity was piqued.

"Hmm, that seems very interesting!"

With a crackling sound, the empty can was flattened in his hand by an invisible force, and then squeezed into a tight metal ball...

"I say, do you have any more specific and detailed information or clues? About that underground arena and the secret website?" Smiling, Misaka Mikoto walked over and asked the teenagers questions directly.

Sizzle, sizzle...

The dazzling lightning flashed, making the dim streets at night flicker and seem less stable.

Two minutes later, Misaka Mikoto left the street with a can of drink she had just bought.

"I see, I see..." Misaka Mikoto found an Internet cafe and logged on.

Ever since becoming a level 5, Misaka Mikoto has discovered that there is another "world" in her eyes - a network formed by electronic data flows, a cyber world.

Although she taught herself all the relevant knowledge, it is undeniable that Misaka Mikoto has now become a top hacker.

Even the databases of banks or the General Council could not stop her from snooping.

Therefore, the secret live broadcast website owned by the "underground arena"...

"There's absolutely no way you can stump me!"

With a crackling sound, a tiny electric current shot out from her fingertips and flowed along the cable into the computer host.
