A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 595 Get involved
Late at night, in the "Girls' Dormitory" of Family Side.

Misaka Mikoto also chose to stay overnight today and once again borrowed Dolly and Dolly's room here.

It was already one in the morning. They played downstairs until very late before returning to the girls' dormitory to wash up and rest.

After all, the downstairs was Teacher Huang Quanchuan's home, and as students, they really didn't feel comfortable playing all night - although from the looks of it, it was Huang Quanchuan Aiho herself who wanted to stay up late playing games...

"Shokuhou, do you think that Wuming-senpai is a little abnormal?" Misaka Mikoto, who couldn't sleep, went against her usual behavior and took the initiative to run to Shokuhou Misaki to chat.

"Huh? What's wrong with Senior Wuming? Why didn't I notice it?" Shokuhou Misaki reflexively became sarcastic - are you the one with "psychological control" or am I the one with "psychological control"?
Misaka Mikoto had long been accustomed to his attitude, her brain automatically blocking out those meaningless tones: "Look, hasn't Wuming Senior always been very busy? Especially in the past semester, he has always been immersed in seclusion and training to improve his strength. He rarely has time to spend with us. But now..."

To be precise, it was yesterday, after the start of summer vacation, that Lin Wuming suddenly seemed to have more time. He seemed to finally be willing to spare a lot of time to spend with them.

For Misaka Mikoto, this development is of course a good thing, and she is very happy to see it.

But deep down, there's always a lingering sense of unease—as if...something else is about to happen.

Misaka Mikoto hated this feeling because she had a similar feeling when she experienced the "sisters" incident.

——Nameless Senior is hiding some secret, and Shokuhou Misaki definitely knows it!
"You actually found out!" Shokuhou Misaki looked at the electric shock user at the door with surprise.

"You really do know..."

"No, I don't know." Shokuhou Misaki immediately denied it, then explained, "I wasn't lying to you. Maybe I relied too much on my superpowers, so I didn't notice these details..."

Shokuhou Misaki frowned and seemed to start thinking and recalling seriously.

"No way, you didn't know?" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed.

"I've already told you, I'm not some pervert who'd pry into other people's minds anytime, anywhere." Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes. "Especially Wuming-senpai. Aside from communicating and sharing information, I definitely won't pry into his inner thoughts."

"Eh~~Really?" Of course, Misaka Mikoto couldn't completely believe what he said.

"Of course it's true." Shokuhou Misaki sneered, "Suppose, for example, someone saw that Wuming-senpai had a problem with his taste and ultimately chose you instead of me..."

Shokuhou Misaki pointed at Misaka Mikoto, then at herself: "When the time comes, I can't guarantee that I won't do something..."

"Don't do unnecessary things!" Misaka Mikoto said quickly, "Using super powers to cheat is too despicable!"

"Oh, don't worry. I told you it's just a 'hypothesis' and a 'what if'." Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "The truth is, for such a low-probability event, there's no need to use super powers to cheat."

Misaka Mikoto slammed the door angrily and returned to her room.

——Why is it that every time I want to talk to her about something serious, it always ends like this...

While having a headache, Misaka Mikoto decided to go and ask Lin Wuming in person tomorrow... this morning!

It saves me from guessing here or listening to Shokuhou Misaki mumbling riddles!
After teasing Misaka Mikoto and successfully angering her, Shokuhou Misaki lay back on the bed contentedly: "Well, I have to have a good chat with Wuming-senpai tomorrow."

Shokuhou Misaki didn't lie just now. She really didn't notice Lin Wuming's absent-mindedness.

However, Shokuhou Misaki knew the reason why Lin Wuming had changed.

At the end of the day – summer vacation is here, and the plot of the original story has already begun in full swing!
Lin Wuming claimed that he didn't want to interfere with Kamijou Touma's "story" because he was worried about hindering his growth. But the reality was that even though he knew what was going to happen and had the ability to do something about it, he still had to restrain himself from doing anything - which was also very uncomfortable.

"Nameless-senpai is such a jerk! If you really care, just go and see for yourself, or even intervene." Shokuhou Misaki actually had a different opinion. "If Kamijou Touma is truly the destined savior, then even if Nameless-senpai steals his growth experience points, it won't hinder him from saving the world."

However, Shokuhou Misaki still chose to respect the choice of Wuming Senior, and strictly speaking, Wuming Senior's approach was the most reasonable and safest, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But humans are ultimately emotional creatures, and the optimal solution in theory isn't necessarily the best answer in practice. Therefore, Shokuhou Misaki decided to have another good chat with Lin Wuming and offer some of her own ideas for consideration.

Because they had a lot of thoughts, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki didn't sleep very deeply that night and woke up early in the morning.

After they finished washing up, they met in the living room.

Teacher Yuanfeng Ye Li is preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

However, Misaka Mikoto had other plans and naturally prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.

Shokuhou Misaki agreed with this: "Anyway, Wuming-senpai must have prepared some for us, so it would be a waste if we don't go."

As expected, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki happily enjoyed a delicious breakfast - if they could ignore the two drunk women lying together on the sofa in the living room next to them, this morning would be perfect!
Lin Wuming brought out the sobering soup from the kitchen and was about to give it to Huang Quanchuan Aihui and Tetsuzo Zuiri.

But Shokuhou Misaki stopped her, "Wuming-senpai, let's talk."

Shokuhou Misaki pointed toward the balcony.

Junko Hokaze kindly took over the task of making the sobering soup and taking care of the two drunkards.

Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki came to the balcony, and Misaka Mikoto and Tomi Touma, who noticed this scene, also followed automatically.

Seeing this, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't stop it - they couldn't hear the real "conversation" anyway.

However, before Shokuhou Misaki could start to persuade her, Lin Wuming exclaimed, "Huh?"

The three girls reacted quickly and immediately looked in the direction Lin Wuming was looking.

Because it was daytime, the visibility was good.

So the three girls saw a figure looking towards them on the rooftop of an office building two kilometers away.

"Is it that female magician?" Misaka Mikoto immediately remembered.

"What does that woman want to do?" Hufeng Toumi sensed danger - they were being targeted!
"Ah~ I can't escape it after all." Shokuhou Misaki gave up her original advice. As it turned out, the nameless senior had already been involved in the plot.

——It’s better this way, so Senior Wuming doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.

"It's come to this..." Lin Wuming turned around, "If you don't mind, let's go together. Kamiya Kaoru asked me to come over and meet you."

The location was in the office building where Kamiya Kaoru worked. She used lip reading to make the invitation - as if she believed that Lin Wuming could see her lip movements clearly.
