A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 620 Special Effect Doctor
"Also, don't worry," Shokuhou Misaki continued, "Only part of Wuming-senpai's memory has been deleted; the rest remains unchanged. And, based on my observations—Tiger Bee, lend me the ribbon."

Tiger Bee Toumi didn't understand what was going on, but he still took out his spare "weapon" from his pocket.

"Thank you~" Shokuhou Misaki took the ribbon and folded up the middle section. "Just like this ribbon, the folded part is the one hundred seconds of memory that Wuming-senpai lost. Strictly speaking, it wasn't deleted, but rather folded and sealed."

Shokuhou Misaki concluded, "This is a trick played by the enemy. It shows that he is not a psychic esper, but is indirectly achieving the effect of 'deleting memory' through other means. But because of this, it is even more difficult to detect."

It was as if he was explaining his mistake: "After all, Senior Wuming's memory actually had no flaws, so I didn't notice it!"

Lin Wuming asked, "So, is there a way to recover those 100 seconds of memory?"

"It will take some time to break the seal," Shokuhou Misaki said, "because we're not familiar with the enemy's methods, and it involves the brain and memory, so we can only try little by little."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Wuming nodded, "But I have a faster way."

"I knew it..." Shokuhou Misaki curled her lips. After all, the reference answer was right there, so why not use it?

After returning to the room and sitting in the wheelchair again, Lin Wuming came to the living room again: "I'm going to the hospital."

The girls present had already known that Lin Wuming's leg injury had healed, but he insisted on driving the wheelchair out of personal interest and habit, so they were used to seeing this scene and were not surprised at all.

"Are you going back so soon?" When he went out, he saw Yujian Iruka and Hojo Ayane coming down from upstairs.

"Next we're going to the hospital," Fanfeng Runzi explained.

"Huh? Senior Wuming's condition is so serious?" Gongjian Rulu looked over in surprise, "I can't tell at all."

"No, it's not serious." Lin Wuming said, "It's just that the 'attending doctor' I'm looking for happens to be in the hospital."

Just as the group was crowding out of Family Side, they saw Misaka Mikoto riding a cloud of iron sand at a brisk pace, flying very low to the ground, rushing towards them.

"Senior Wuming, how are you?" After jumping off the iron sand cloud, Misaka Mikoto quickly ran to Lin Wuming and looked him up and down nervously.

Shokuhou Misaki looked at her in surprise: "I didn't expect that you, Misaka, also discovered it?"

"What nonsense!" Misaka Mikoto snorted coldly, "Of course I could tell that Wuming-senpai was different at a glance! It's just that I had to send Kuroko back first, so I was late."

Lin Wuming was very surprised: "Is my performance that obvious? How come you can see it?"

You know, Lin Wuming has been relying on his "acting skills" to get by all these years. If his acting was so bad... wouldn't he have been discovered by Chairman Aleister long ago?
"Mumbo-san," Shokuhou Misaki said helplessly, "How long do you think we've been with you? How could we possibly hide any of your changes?"

"This... is so..." Lin Wuming suddenly felt a little guilty - if it were the other way around, he wouldn't have such a deep understanding of Shokuhou Misaki and the others.

If their situations were reversed, Lin Wuming wasn't sure if he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with them.

"Okay, let's stop wasting time here." Tiger Bee Toumi pushed the wheelchair forward, "Let's go to the hospital and find Kamijou Touma."

"The car is ready." Fanfeng Runzi waved and called the Queen's special car parked nearby.

—The reason Shokuhou Misaki and the others were able to arrive faster than Misaka Mikoto was mainly because they had a car, while Misaka Mikoto could only fly on the cloud in areas with few pedestrians and cars...

When they arrived at the hospital, Kamijou Touma was still recuperating in the hospital.

Index clearly wasn't the caring type, and with the two of them together, it was unclear who would be taking care of whom. To ensure his recovery, the hospital had specially arranged for nurses to provide full-time care. Since Lin Wuming was covering the expenses, Kamijou Touma felt no pressure.

The only thing to worry about is...

"It hurts! Let go, let me go!"

As soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I heard Kamijou Touma's screams from inside.

"Uh..." Misaka Mikoto looked at the others with a strange expression, "Should we go in later? It feels like we're coming at a bad time."

"What's there to wait for? Just knock on the door." Hufeng Toumi walked straight forward and knocked hard on the door.

“Someone’s coming in!” Kamijou Touma’s voice came from the ward again, “Hurry up and let go. I’m going to open the door!”

"Touma is injured, you need to rest well. I'll go open the door." The girl's voice followed.

"You know I'm injured... It's okay, go open the door." Kamijou Touma's voice was filled with a sense of relief.

Except for Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki who roughly guessed what had happened inside, the other girls looked at each other - the conversation in the room just now was really hard not to make people misunderstand.

"Next time we should remind them to move to a ward with better soundproofing." Yujian Iruka, who was following at the back, said to Hojo Ayane.

"Who on earth lives in there?" Hojo Ayane also looked surprised.

But the scene after the door opened made everyone outside feel relieved or disappointed.

It was just an ordinary ward, and a young man wearing hospital gown and lying on the bed.

The only unusual thing was the silver-haired nun who came to open the door - in Academy City, such attire was truly rare.

"It's Mr. Lin Wuming!" Index was startled by the large group of people at the door, but after noticing Lin Wuming, she quickly relaxed.

"Good afternoon, Index." Lin Wuming greeted, then looked up into the room, "Kamijo-san, are you okay?"

"Mumaki-kun, I'm fine..." Kamijou Touma perked up, then couldn't help but touch his forehead covered with teeth marks, "Probably? By the way, every time I see you, the scene around me becomes more and more shocking."

Lin Wuming looked back and saw that the sight of a large group of girls in Tokiwadai Junior High School uniforms appearing in the hospital corridor was indeed very conspicuous.

"They are basically all members of the Shokuhou faction...that's normal, right?" Lin Wuming thought about it and, apart from being a little conspicuous, there were no other problems.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I have something to ask you." Lin Wuming said as he drove the wheelchair into the ward.

Because the space inside the ward is limited, except for Tiger Bee Toumi who followed in as a matter of course, no one else was interested, so they waited outside the door.

"If you need me for anything, just let me know!" It was a rare occasion that Lin Wuming needed his help, so Kamijou Touma immediately patted his chest and promised.

"I want to borrow your Imagine Breaker and touch my head again..." As he said that, Lin Wuming noticed the thick bandages and plaster on Kamijou Touma's right hand.

Kamijou Touma also looked at his tightly wrapped right hand with some embarrassment.
