A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 409 Misaka Mikoto's Anger

Seeing that Misaka Mikoto actually restrained her love for Quata and wanted to get information from him, Lin Wuming knew that this girl was serious and he could no longer fool her.

However, all this was within Shokuhou Misaki's expectations - Misaka Mikoto had indeed come to her to "gather" information.

Silent, Lin Wuming did not speak immediately, but steered the wheelchair forward; Misaka Mikoto did not stop him, but after a moment of hesitation, she quickly followed.

As if sensing something from the suddenly tense atmosphere, Misaka Mikoto realized that perhaps Lin Wuming already knew what she wanted to ask without her having to speak.

"Has Shokuhou-san called you to tell you?" Misaka Mikoto suddenly asked.

"Shokuhou? No." Lin Wuming shook his head. "We don't often communicate via mobile phones. We usually meet in person."

Although it was basically Shokuhou Misaki who came to her.

The main purpose is to maintain confidentiality.

Because what Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming were planning couldn't be communicated over the phone. Even if they were to talk face to face, it would be a completely confidential "in-brain meeting" through Shokuhou Misaki's "psychological control."

After hearing this, Misaka Mikoto suddenly sighed: "As expected, you two have a very close relationship."

The two of them walked all the way to the vicinity of the city park, and Lin Wuming finally stopped.

Misaka Mikoto also stopped and said, "Remember that purple-haired girl with twintails? Wuming-senpai, you still haven't introduced her to me."

"But it's no longer necessary," Misaka Mikoto said. "Keisaku Kandou is my classmate now. I've already met her. And Dolly and Peach, I've also met them."

"So," Lin Wuming looked at her, "what are you going to say?"

"Dolly and Dolly, who are they?" Misaka Mikoto stared at Lin Wuming's eyes, then sighed, "Forget it, I'll just ask directly - are they my clones?"

Lin Wuming remained silent and did not answer.

Misaka Mikoto seemed to have flipped a switch, and her emotions became more and more excited: "So they are, right?"

"I have no comment on this." Lin Wuming shook his head.

Lightning crackled across Misaka Mikoto's body.

What Lin Wuming said was that he had no comment, not that he didn't know - this attitude and answer were exactly the same as Shokuhou Misaki's!
Misaka Mikoto felt that she had been deceived by the two of them.

It is not difficult to tell from their behavior that their clones do exist, and they have known about it for a long time, but they just refuse to tell themselves!

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto became more and more emotional, and her whole body was like a broken transformer, with electric flashes all over her body.

"It's clearly something related to me, why didn't you tell me!" Misaka Mikoto shouted, "Or, are Wuming-senpai and Shokuhou-san also part of that experiment..."

"Meiqin!" Lin Wuming interrupted her.

The brown-haired girl also realized something, and suddenly pursed her lips and swallowed the rest of her words.

Sometimes, speaking out loud will cause irreversible consequences.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Lin Wuming saw the red vending machine in the park and suggested, "Have a drink to calm down. It's my treat."

This time, Lin Wuming brought enough cash with him.

Sitting on a bench and sipping her drink, Misaka Mikoto spoke again: "As expected, they are my clones, right?"

Then, Misaka Mikoto muttered to herself about the time when she was a child and someone cheated her out of her genetic profile. This was a nightmare that she hadn't been able to shake off, but recently, due to the rise of rumors, this nightmare suddenly became concrete.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment." Despite this, Lin Wuming could only give such a cold and official response.

This time, Misaka Mikoto was very calm, because Lin Wuming's answer was almost equivalent to acquiescence.

So, she continued to ask, "You have known about this for a long time, right? When did you find out?"

"Sorry, no comment."

"Ah, it was during last summer vacation, right? Because that's when Muming-senpai and Shokuhou-san met." Misaka Mikoto also did her homework specifically.

"Sorry, no comment."

"Also, Tiger Bee-san also mentioned to me that you guys have been secretly planning something. It must be related to this matter, right?"

"Sorry……"

"Can't you say something else besides this?" Misaka Mikoto drank her drink and crushed the can in her hand.

The negotiation fell through, and due to Lin Wuming's parrot-like answer, Misaka Mikoto's anger, which had finally subsided, rose to its peak again.

"I can't say," Lin Wuming shook his head, "and don't guess anymore. There's no benefit in doing so."

Lin Wuming also drank the drink in his hand in one gulp: "It will be troublesome too."

Misaka Mikoto stood up and said, "This is my business! Why shouldn't I know?"

The girl said angrily, "And you told me not to guess? If you were willing to tell me the truth, why would I be guessing randomly here?"

The girl suddenly moved closer to Lin Wuming and stared at him closely: "So that's how it is... You're being threatened!"

For example, a gag order or something like that—urban legends like these were not uncommon in Academy City and were logical.

"Stop guessing," Lin Wuming said helplessly, "You can investigate on your own, don't come to us."

That’s all I have to say. In fact, Misaka Mikoto’s guess was basically correct, and she even pointed out what Lin Wuming and the others were plotting.

But since it was a conspiracy, how could it be easily revealed? Lin Wuming naturally refused to admit it.

——At least he couldn’t be caught leaking it out from his own mouth.

Feeling the genuine disdain in Lin Wuming's tone, Misaka Mikoto fell silent.

"'You guys'... I'm the one directly involved!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt that Lin Wuming was a bit annoying today. He didn't have the usual leniency and tolerance as a senior and friend.

It was as if... he was deliberately trying to make me unhappy.

——Perhaps, Wuming Senior does have his own difficulties? He usually behaves like an adult, so he also has all kinds of troubles like adults?
That being the case...

Misaka Mikoto stood up straight, took two steps back, and took a deep breath.

"Alright, consider this an order not to reveal any relevant information," Misaka Mikoto said. "Then we'll have to use slightly tougher measures!"

The pupils of this strongest electric shock user seemed to flash with lightning. "Let's duel, Wuming Senior! If I defeat you, the information you know will be my trophies. Tell me everything! That way, no one will blame you."
