A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 56: Meeting Shokuhou Misaki Again
"Shokuhou..." Lin Wuming's heart tightened. The image of the beautiful girl with blonde hair, starry eyes and a plump figure immediately popped up in his mind. Then it was immediately updated to her current appearance with the body of a child. "Why is she here..."

But on second thought, it's not surprising. Even though she's not level 5 yet, Shokuhou Misaki is undoubtedly one of the strongest psychic users in Academy City. It's natural to ask her for help with psychological and spiritual matters.

A girl with shining blonde hair walked into the ward. Lin Wuming didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the room seemed brighter.

If you don't count the scars on her face, Hufeng Toumi is also a beautiful blonde girl. Objectively speaking, her hair color is the same as Shokuhou Misaki's. At least Lin Wuming can't tell the difference between the two colors. But for some reason, Hufeng Toumi's blonde hair doesn't give people the illusion of "lighting up the room"...

Lin Wuming’s mind was filled with wild thoughts.

"...A strange guy." The blonde girl with starry eyes, Shokuhou Misaki, couldn't help but roll her eyes and make such a comment.

"!" Lin Wuming came back to his senses instantly, and quickly cheered up, ready to deal with this somewhat troublesome situation.

"You guys take your time chatting, I won't disturb you~" Tiezhuang Zhuili said with a smile, as he left the room and closed the door.

Only Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki were left in the ward.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

Lin Wuming was a little nervous. While trying his best to control his inner thoughts, he observed the girl in front of him, trying to judge through clues whether she had mastered the complete "mind reading" skill.

Although it was just Lin Wuming's wishful thinking, he felt that before being promoted to level 5, even Shokuhou Misaki would not be able to read the thoughts in other people's minds at will, right?
—Right, Shokuhou Misaki?

Shokuhou Misaki blinked, an innocent smile on her face: "This is the third time we've met, Lin Wuming-senpai!"

——Hmm... Can't you really hear my thoughts?
"Senior?" Shokuhou Misaki tilted her head, then as if she had thought of something, she took out the remote control from the bag at her side.

Seeing this, Lin Wuming quickly coughed and said, "Shokuhou Misaki, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Does she need a remote control to perform mind reading? Since I can't see any flaws, I'll just leave it at that.

Lin Wuming nodded secretly.

"Mumaki-senpai is now a hero of Academy City!" Shokuhou Misaki narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly, "If possible, could you sign an autograph for me?"

After taking back the remote control, Shokuhou Misaki took out a notebook and a pen from her bag.

"You're too kind," Lin Wuming said, then raised his tightly bandaged hands, "and I can't write now."

"It's okay. I heard that Senior Wuming is a very powerful telekinetic user. Can you sign with your telekinesis?" Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be well prepared.

Lin Wuming did not refuse.

After receiving the signature, Shokuhou Misaki nodded with satisfaction. "Although it's not handwritten, I can see that the lines are smooth and the pen is steady. Wuming-senpai's mental state seems stable as well, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Huh? So the evaluation has already started?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise.

"Of course," the girl continued with a sweet smile. "It started the moment I walked in. Don't worry, Senior Wuming, I admire heroes like you, so I'll do my best to speak well of you and try to reduce the time required for psychological counseling!"

"Yes, thank you very much." Lin Wuming nodded repeatedly. Shokuhou Misaki's psychological evaluation seemed to be over quickly, but she had no intention of leaving.

"Senior Wuming, do you still remember Ryugo Chika and Kanringo?" Shokuhou Misaki suddenly asked.

"Of course, how are they?" Lin Wuming was stunned for a moment, then asked.

Since he was hospitalized, in order to keep a low profile as much as possible, he did not deliberately inquire about the whereabouts of the escaped children.

"The situation isn't very good," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Ryugo Chika's injuries are too severe, so she's still receiving treatment in the emergency room, but she's out of danger."

"It's still too slow..." Lin Wuming murmured.

"Your self-blame is completely unnecessary, Mumei-senpai," Shokuhou Misaki said. "You're the hero who saved this girl! You should be proud of it!"

"Even if you say so..."

Shokuhou Misaki interrupted him and suddenly asked, "Wuming-senpai, do you regret your actions this time?"

"No, of course not." Lin Wuming said decisively, "Besides, I don't intend to be a hero."

Ultimately, Lin Wuming's primary purpose in launching the operation was to protect himself and eliminate the enemies that threatened his safety. As for saving those children, it was just a matter of following the trend.

"Senior Wuming," Shokuhou Misaki took a few steps forward, almost right in front of Lin Wuming, her eyes sparkling. "I want to ask you, if there are other girls who need to be saved, are you... willing to continue to be that hero?"

——Taintangfang?
Lin Wuming's heart tightened. Judging from her age, Shokuhou Misaki should be in the experimental room at this time. That was also a very famous illegal experimental institution in the original work.

Could it be... that Shokuhou Misaki is asking me for help?

But seeing that she can still move freely and even work for the security force openly, it doesn't seem like she is in trouble.

Moreover, in the original plot, after being promoted to level 5, Shokuhou Misaki directly used her superpower "mental control" to secretly control the research institute without encountering any danger.

"Ah, Wuming-senpai, please don't misunderstand me," Shokuhou Misaki said quickly, as if suddenly remembering something. "I'm not in trouble and want to ask for your help. I simply admire you and want to see you active as a hero again~"

"Is that so..." Lin Wuming nodded and said, "If necessary, I don't mind helping others within my ability."

"That's great!" Shokuhou Misaki said happily, "Wuming-senpai is the hero who saved the unfortunate girl. So, next time there's a girl who needs saving, remember your identity!"

The girl's eyes were bright and she stared directly into the pupils of the boy in front of her - she didn't directly activate her superpowers, but she planted a psychological hint, just in case.

Even though she has mastered the art of mind reading, Shokuhou Misaki still finds it difficult to understand the boy in front of her—a strange boy who calls himself a "time traveler."

She didn't know Lin Wuming's true thoughts and attitudes, and she didn't dare to trust his memory information easily. So, since their last encounter, she had never met Lin Wuming again.

It was not until this time that I saw the news of Lin Wuming's "heroic deeds" on TV - he single-handedly destroyed the illegal experimental organization "Dark May Plan" and rescued more than 200 experimental children.
