A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 529 Unexplained Coma Incident
Lin Wuming was of course very clear about what he was doing, and even more aware of the dangers involved, so he didn't need anyone to remind him.

But then again, even if he knew there were risks, Lin Wuming wouldn't give up so easily, right?
In the following days, Lin Wuming began to consciously search for the "Fantasy Hand".

Because he wanted to use the "Fantasy Hand" himself.

However, perhaps because of his identity as a disciplinary committee member and a "suspected level 5", Lin Wuming was unable to find any information about the "Fantasy Hand" around him.

Although the urban legend about the "Fantasy Hand" has been widely circulated, Lin Wuming has not found any valuable clues.

Similarly, Shokuhou Misaki didn't gain anything significant at Tokiwadai Junior High School.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but if there was no result, Lin Wuming would not continue wasting time.

After all, he already knew who the developer of "Fantasy Hand" was. If it really didn't work, he could just ask Haruo Kiyama or Shadanshan for a copy.

The only thing he needed to worry about was whether his "hero" would scare them both if he suddenly showed up - after all, the "Fantasy Hand" could be considered an illegal experiment.

Just when Lin Wuming was considering whether to adopt this final solution, a phone call brought a turning point to the whole incident.

——Saten Ruiko, the “urban legend” expert, called me out of the blue for some unknown reason.

Although they know each other, Lin Wuming and Saten Ruiko's relationship is not that close.

Perhaps out of awe for the title of "hero", Riri Saten rarely calls on her own initiative.

But on the other hand, once she takes the initiative to contact me, something must have happened.

Recalling the original work, Ryoko Saten was "lucky" enough to find a secret link hidden in the website, and then directly downloaded "Fantasy Hand".

Therefore, Lin Wuming has reason to believe that this time, Riri Saotome will also be equally "lucky".

"What should I do, Wuming-senpai!" As soon as the call was connected, Saten Ruiko's anxious voice came from the other side of the receiver, "Please save me!"

A call for help?

Lin Wuming was stunned - could it be that this girl was in danger?
"Where are you?" Lin Wuming asked quickly, not wanting to be careless. "Are you injured? How is your condition now?"

"Huh?" Saten Ruiko seemed stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "I'm not in any danger right now."

"...So what exactly is going on?" Lin Wuming sighed helplessly.

"But what happens next is uncertain," Saten Ruiko continued, "No, I should say, we will definitely encounter danger, right?"

"You... forget it," Lin Wuming shook his head, feeling that it was difficult to explain clearly over the phone. "Where are you? I'll come find you if it's convenient."

Half an hour later, the two met at the agreed location.

What confused Lin Wuming was that the meeting place chosen by Saten Ruiko and the girl was actually in the hospital lobby.

Although this place can be considered half of Lin Wuming's hometown, he doesn't understand why Saten Ruiko chose to meet in such a place.

"Do you have any friends in the hospital?" Seeing the haggard face of Saten Ruiko, Lin Wuming couldn't help but ask.

Although we haven't met many times, Riri Saten has always given people the impression of being energetic and cheerful. It's really hard to imagine what happened to make such an energetic girl become like this.

"Could it be..." Lin Wuming looked towards the inpatient department, "It's Hatsuharu Shikiri..."

"No, Hatsuharu is doing fine," said Ruiko Saten. "Before summer vacation started, she was approved to become a formal discipline committee member, and she goes on patrol every day with high spirits." "The reason I chose to meet her now was actually for my own sake," Ruiko Saten said with a dry laugh. "If I pass out, they can just take me straight to the emergency room—wouldn't that be convenient?"

"So what happened to you?" Lin Wuming asked.

But I already had a guess in my mind - was the sudden fainting really due to the "Fantasy Hand"?

"Senior Wuming, have you heard of a software called 'Fantasy Hand'?"

As expected, Riri Saten asked in a low voice with her head down.

It turned out that things were just as Lin Wuming guessed. In the process of pursuing urban legends, Ryoko Saten was "lucky" enough to find the most popular "Fantasy Hand".

Then, Riri Saten, who was struggling with the lack of progress in her ability level, used the "Fantasy Hand" without much thought, and later shared it with several of her good friends in the class.

But during this period, the explosive spread of "Fantasy Hand" attracted the attention of the security forces and discipline committee members.

It was soon proven that this mysterious software was directly related to the recent sudden increase in "student coma" phenomena.

As a result, it was no surprise that "Fantasy Hand" was blacklisted by the two major organizations.

Knowing that her good friend Riri Saten was obsessed with urban legends all day long, Hatsuharu Shikiri, who was already working as a discipline committee member, of course warned her immediately.

But it was too late - Riri Saten had already been using the "Fantasy Hand".

What’s worse is that some of her friends have also fallen into “unexplained coma”.

Realizing the disaster she had caused, Riri Saten didn't know how to face Hatsuharu Shikiri, and felt even more sorry for her friends.

But before all this, what Riri Saten fears most right now is her own future.

If the price of using the "Fantasy Hand" is coma, then she herself is probably not far off.

That's why she chose to stay in the hospital as much as possible.

And ask Lin Wuming for help.

When it comes to such a life-threatening matter, Riri Saten is still very clear-headed.

She knew that if anyone could save her from this desperate situation, it would definitely be the "hero" Senior Lin Wuming!
Although she felt a little sorry for Hatsuharu Shikiri, Saten Ruiko felt that even if she cried to Hatsuharu Shikiri now, it would not solve any problems, but would make Hatsuharu Shikiri worry in vain.

"Are so many people already unconscious?" Lin Wuming frowned.

Although he had begun to focus on the relevant information of "Fantasy Hand" in the past two days, he seemed to have not heard of anyone falling into a coma.

Therefore, Lin Wuming has always believed that "Fantasy Hand" is still in the early stage of spread.

"Yes," Saten Ruiko nodded, "I heard that it happened in the past few days. Many people suddenly lost consciousness and fainted."

Not only did she hear the news from Hatsuharu Shiori, but Riri Saten herself also learned about a similar situation from the website forum.

Lin Wuming quickly took out his cell phone and searched the internal system of the Discipline Committee and the Guard Corps.

As expected, starting from forty-eight hours ago, the number of students who suddenly fainted and lost consciousness due to unknown reasons throughout the Academy City has been rising sharply!
