A Scientific Urban Detective

Lin Wuming himself didn't care about his ability level test results, after all, this was something he had expected. He was currently sitting quietly in the passenger seat, watching Huangquan Chuan Aihui drive.

Huangquan Chuan Aihui still looked apologetic, saying as she drove, "I'm really sorry, Wuming, I didn't expect such a big commotion. If I had known, I would have had the test done secretly like last time."

Strictly speaking, this ability level test was a task assigned to Huangquan Chuan Aihui by her superiors, ordering her to take Lin Wuming to school for the test. She had no choice.

After all, as mentioned before, there were too many people concerned about this matter!

"Emergency! Emergency!"

Before Lin Wuming could respond, a call suddenly came from the car radio—as a security guard, Huangquan Chuan Aihui's car also served as a "police car", so it was equipped with the security forces' full set of communication equipment.

Huangquan Chuan Aihui perked up, instantly switching to security guard mode.

"...A street brawl has occurred in the district, and someone is dead! Repeat, someone is dead! Please send nearby personnel to provide support immediately!"

"That's the downtown area, right?" Huangquan Chuan Aihui said in surprise upon hearing the address coordinates.

In broad daylight, in a peaceful world, a street brawl was already bad enough, but it actually resulted in a death!

This was the first time Huangquan Chuan Aihui had encountered such a situation since becoming a security guard!

"Please report the number of deaths. Are there any injuries? I'm arranging for an ambulance," someone responded on the radio.

Remembering that there were children in her car, Huangquan Chuan Aihui subconsciously wanted to turn off the radio. But when she thought about how the "children" beside her were Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi, she felt that this case didn't seem like much.

"One dead, no injuries," the officer at the scene responded. "The problem is the suspect…"

The officer at the scene paused. "The suspect is emotionally agitated and likely to resist arrest violently!"

"Requesting support! Requesting support!" the officer suddenly shouted. "The suspect is an esper! It's Accelerator! It's that Accelerator!"

Thump!

Lin Wuming forcibly opened the car door and jumped out.

"Wuming!" Huangquan Chuan Aihui exclaimed as she turned her head.

But Lin Wuming's actions had repeatedly demonstrated that his movement efficiency in complex urban terrain was much faster than a car.

Even Huangquan Chuan Aihui's car.

Of course, that was assuming Lin Wuming could accurately find the route.

Just as Lin Wuming forcibly opened the door and jumped out, the car door on the other side of the back seat was also opened, and Hu Feng Toumi also jumped out of the speeding car—without hesitation!

Hu Feng Toumi didn't perform any landing techniques, letting herself fall to the ground.

But before that, an invisible telekinetic force lifted her up by the waist, then raised her into the air.

There was no communication or hesitation, only the tacit understanding and trust accumulated over time and experience.

"That's the benefit of being action-oriented. No matter how reckless the actions, they can be perfectly coordinated without hesitation," Shokuhou Misaki said, leaning out of the car window and looking at the sky, with a hint of envy.

"Hey, don't you jump out of the car again!" Huangquan Chuan Aihui said nervously.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I'm the brains of the operation," Shokuhou Misaki replied, while using the remote control to aim at the two in the air. "So impatient, they don't even know the location of the incident."

With that, she transmitted the location just reported on the car radio to Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi's minds.

After doing all this, Shokuhou Misaki patted the back of the driver's seat and urged, "Teacher, drive quickly! This time, Senior Wuming is serious! If we don't hurry, there might be big trouble!"

Hearing that the culprit who committed a street brawl and directly killed someone was actually Accelerator, Lin Wuming couldn't sit still.

In that instant, Lin Wuming would rather be the murderer himself than hear Accelerator's name in this situation!

Accelerator must not kill!

This was Lin Wuming's biggest insistence and hope at the moment. It was also the most crucial and important part of his plan.

To perfectly solve the "Level 6 Shift Project", the only method Lin Wuming could think of was to start from the source and directly get Accelerator to refuse to participate in the experiment.

To this end, Lin Wuming decided to start from two aspects. The first was the armband ranking system, to help Accelerator build confidence and give him a reason and excuse to reject those challengers.

In this way, Accelerator would not have the urgent motivation to be promoted to Level 6.

The other aspect was "limiting the killing", specifically "not killing"—through hints and guidance, admonishing Accelerator not to kill.

This was a backup measure, in case something like "historical correction force" existed in this world, leading to Accelerator eventually agreeing to participate in the "Level 6 Shift Project"... then Lin Wuming hoped he would still remember the restriction of "not killing".

As long as Accelerator was unwilling to personally kill the Misaka sisters, then there was still room for redemption.

But now!

"It's all ruined! Everything is completely ruined!" Lin Wuming gritted his teeth, not daring to say it out loud.

Because this matter was very suspicious, it was as if... someone was taking countermeasures against his plan!

In this situation, wary of the Stargate network or other messy technologies and equipment that were not mentioned in the original plot, Lin Wuming certainly did not dare to reveal any information.

"Wuming, is the problem serious?" Hu Feng Toumi also frowned, looking at him with some concern.

This was the first time she had seen Lin Wuming show such an expression.

"Of course it's serious, it's absolutely terrible!" Lin Wuming said, "If that guy Accelerator really killed someone…"

"So what?" Hu Feng Toumi retorted with some disdain. "According to your previous description, Wuming, someone must have provoked Accelerator first. This counts as self-defense, right?"

And also—Hu Feng Toumi didn't say it directly—it was "just killing someone", honestly, Lin Wuming had no right to criticize others in this regard.

—And also, if Accelerator, who had only killed one person, was viewed like this by Wuming, then what about herself, who had more blood on her hands?

"It's different," Lin Wuming shook his head with a wry smile. "If that guy Accelerator really started killing, then I'm afraid I really wouldn't have another chance to win against him…"

Lin Wuming revealed his true feelings, which was also a reason that could be made public.

…

"So, even you, Lin Wuming, think that this guy was killed by yours truly?" Accelerator lowered his eyes, looking expressionlessly at Lin Wuming, who had rushed over.
