A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 587 Misaka Mikoto's Experience

Compared to normal school days, the cafeteria seemed much emptier today. After all, only some students who needed to make up for their lessons and those participating in club activities were in school today.

Logically speaking, Kamijou Touma is one of the students who needs extra lessons, but Lin Wuming looked around the cafeteria and did not see him.

"Forget it, let it be..." Lin Wuming didn't worry too much about it.

Just when Lin Wuming finished his lunch, he received a call back from Misaka Mikoto.

"Sorry, Senior Wuming! I didn't receive your call just now!"

"Don't worry about it," Lin Wuming shook his head, then asked, "Are you in any trouble over there?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

"So there's still a problem?" Lin Wuming asked, "Who's the opponent?"

"Wuming Senior, do you remember the two magicians we met last week?" Misaka Mikoto said, "They are really amazing, especially that girl—Wuming Senior, your vision is really good!"

"You started a fight with Shen Lie Huo Zhi?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Wuming-senpai, you have to have a little confidence in me," Misaka Mikoto said helplessly, "After all, I'm also a level 5!"

"Is the other party okay?" Lin Wuming's heart tightened - indeed, normally one would think that level 5 is more powerful.

Lin Wuming quickly added, "In a sense, they can be considered diplomats. Be careful not to cause a diplomatic incident!"

"Don't worry, we didn't actually start a fight," Misaka Mikoto explained. "I just saw those two magicians attacking a little girl, so I couldn't help but help... That woman's knife is really sharp!"

"Shen Lie..." Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel nervous, "Are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, no matter how sharp it is, her sword is still made of metal." Misaka Mikoto said, "Although I had a 'little' confrontation with them while rescuing them, they didn't seem to want to start a fight with me, so they quickly retreated."

——Is that the time when I called just now?

Lin Wuming thought to himself, as for the "little girl they were attacking" by Kamiya Kaoru and Stiyl...

"Mikoto, where's the girl you saved? Who is she?"

"She's a strange girl, and she seems to be an illegal immigrant. She calls herself Index and is a nun. Oh, and she also says she's a magician—of course, she's far inferior to those two. She doesn't actually have any magic or supernatural powers..." Misaka Mikoto said, "I think she's a little unusual, so I was planning to bring her to see Wuming-senpai so you can take a look."

"The original plan?"

"Yeah," Misaka Mikoto said with a bit of embarrassment, "She just ran away... in the W American fast food restaurant."

"Run away... Didn't you save her? Why are you running away?" Lin Wuming was also shocked.

"Yeah, I saved her!" Misaka Mikoto also looked depressed, "I even treated her to lunch, and that kid ate ten Big Macs in one go—could she have run away because she didn't have money to pay? I clearly told her I'd pay for everything."

"Okay..." Lin Wuming just felt a headache and had a strong feeling that he couldn't complain.

——If only Shokuhou were here, she would definitely understand how I feel right now!
"Anyway, let's meet up first. Where are you?" Lin Wuming asked with a wry smile.

I had originally planned to watch the entire performance of Kamijou Kaori, Stiyl, and Kamijou Touma, but unexpectedly, Misaka Mikoto stepped in first...

"I'm still at W," Misaka Mikoto replied, "I just happened to order ten more spicy chicken burgers. Senior Wuming, come and help me eat them!" "Why did you order so many burgers?" Lin Wuming complained, "And I already had lunch just now!"

"Because the child said she wasn't full..." Misaka Mikoto seemed speechless, "Could it be that her magic is to eat?"

"Forget it, I'll be there right away." Lin Wuming drove the wheelchair out of the school. "As for those burgers, pack them up and bring them to my sisters. I asked them to help find you this morning."

"Huh? What's the matter that makes Senior Wuming so anxious to find me?" Misaka Mikoto became a little excited.

"Because someone complained that you've been a little too active recently."

"Ah? Is... is that so..."

Lin Wuming shook his head, as if he could see Misaka Mikoto's dejected expression, and couldn't help but smile: "This is just a secondary reason. The specific situation will be discussed when we meet."

"Oh." Misaka Mikoto said, "Then I'll wait for you in the store - don't make me wait too long, it would be a bit awkward for me to guard so many burgers by myself."

"Don't worry," Lin Wuming looked at the route on the electronic map, "It's not far, we'll be there in ten minutes."

……

"Damn it! Can you still get lost with a fully-guided electronic map?"

Looking at the deserted and unfamiliar streets around him, Lin Wuming finally stopped his wheelchair, knowing that he could not go any further.

In fact, Lin Wuming knew the W fast food restaurant where Misaka Mikoto worked. In the last semester that just ended, in order to help Accelerator adapt to the "life of an ordinary student", Lin Wuming took him there several times.

It can be said that if Lin Wuming had not been lazy and used the navigation function of the wheelchair, he might have reached his destination by now.

But unexpectedly, the machine would become unreliable one day.

"So where is this?" Lin Wuming muttered.

For him, any route has only two states: completely familiar or completely unfamiliar. If he doesn't know it, he doesn't know it. There's no such thing as "familiar" or "roughly remembering" ambiguous terms.

"There's another possibility..." Lin Wuming became alert and entered a combat state, driving the wheelchair slowly forward. "Actually, this is a route I'm familiar with. It's just that the change in environment and atmosphere has made it unfamiliar."

In Lin Wuming's impression, this street should be very busy. Even late at night, there are many pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

But at this moment, the place was empty and there was not a single person in sight.

Although the sun is shining brightly above our heads, we feel as if we are in a den of ghosts.

There were no pedestrians or vehicles, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, as if making people forget that there was such a thing as "sound" in the world.

Lin Wuming was not unfamiliar with this feeling - in the past, when he was assassinated or when illegal experiments were being carried out nearby, the organizers would use various means to clear the area.

Considering the current situation, assassination or illegal experiments are unlikely.

Furthermore, Lin Wuming knew that at this moment, there were two magicians active nearby...
