A Scientific Urban Detective

#440 - See you again

"Lin Wuming, your plan is very interesting," Chairman Aleister did not deny Lin Wuming's probing. "Yes, if Misaki Shokuhou can hold the position of Eternal Princess, she will receive a seat on the board."

Lin Wuming nodded slightly—Chairman Aleister's personal guarantee was the biggest gain today.

Although it was just an empty promise from him, the chairman's promise was obviously more credible than any school tradition or urban legend.

"I am looking forward to the scene of Misaki Shokuhou becoming a director," Aleister said.

"Thank you for your support…" Lin Wuming said insincerely, and then brought up the old topic again, "So, Final Signal…"

"Unfortunately, I haven't found her whereabouts either."

"Tsk, I knew it." Not surprised by this answer, Lin Wuming was not disappointed.

"I have no intention of deceiving you, Lin Wuming," Chairman Aleister explained. "You know, there are ten thousand Misaka sisters under my management, serving my plan. I don't want them to have any problems—at least on this point, my position is the same as yours."

Lin Wuming nodded to show his understanding.

"I am also arranging for people to look for Final Signal's whereabouts," Aleister continued. "The only good news now is that it can be determined that the child is still alive, and her condition should be good."

If something happened to the Highest Commander Tower, the Misaka sisters as lower-level individuals would definitely react.

Chairman Aleister and Lin Wuming both took care of half of the Misaka sisters, so they could roughly understand the situation of Final Signal through them.

Lin Wuming asked, "If Final Signal falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, can he control the Misaka sisters through that child?"

"As long as you know the method… it is indeed possible."

"It seems we must find her as soon as possible…" Lin Wuming said with a serious expression.

"Yes," Chairman Aleister agreed.

—But in the end, the most suspicious guy is still you!

Lin Wuming looked coldly at Chairman Aleister, who was hanging upside down in the huge test tube.

"If there is nothing else, you can let Teshubari Yuumi come in," but in the end, Lin Wuming didn't say anything more. "Also, I don't have time to complete the task you assigned recently—because I need to find Final Signal."

"I will provide assistance," Chairman Aleister said. "If you need anything, you can directly contact Sakura and Ryoko."

Lin Wuming stared at the figure soaking in the huge test tube for a long time—this time he still failed to find out anything.

Perhaps Misaki Shokuhou would have a way…

But without thinking, he knew that Chairman Aleister would never allow "Mental Out" to come to this room.

And Lin Wuming was not at ease letting Misaki Shokuhou come to such a dangerous place.

Leaving the windowless building, Lin Wuming sighed and drove away alone in his wheelchair.

Because Lin Wuming had been coming to submit tasks more and more frequently recently, and the girls also had their own things to be busy with, they didn't come to pick him up with a large group of people like at the beginning.

Lin Wuming walked aimlessly for a while, and suddenly found himself in the area where the game hall was located.

Opening the storage compartment on the armrest of the wheelchair, he counted his "ammunition reserves."

"Let's replenish some pachinko balls," Lin Wuming turned around and drove towards the game hall.

Because he often worked for Chairman Aleister recently, he didn't have to worry too much about the tasks directly assigned by him, and Lin Wuming could use "violent means" unscrupulously.

After repeated consumption, he didn't have many pachinko balls left.

After all, this thing is a pure one-time consumable. After each launch, it will inevitably turn into a molten metal jet, and it is impossible to recycle it even if it does not hit any target.

Familiar with operating the pachinko machine in the game hall, Lin Wuming had good luck this time and earned a lot of pachinko balls—filling his storage compartment in one go.

Lin Wuming was not interested in these games with gambling and luck elements, so he stopped when he reached his goal and turned around and left decisively.

Then, on the sidewalk in front of the game hall, he met someone he didn't expect.

"Accelerator?" In the crowd, Lin Wuming noticed the pale figure at a glance.

Although Accelerator looked like he was just passing by here, he was Accelerator after all.

So, the moment Lin Wuming saw him, he subconsciously became concerned.

At the same time, seemingly feeling something, Accelerator also turned his head, and the two's eyes met through the crowd on the street.

Immediately afterwards, Accelerator did not hesitate, and directly turned around and walked towards Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming thought for a while, since the "Level 6 Shift Project" had been declared bankrupt, and the Misaka sisters had been almost completely rescued, then Accelerator had even less reason to kill the Misaka sisters.

So, it can be said that he has nothing to do with the relevant events.

Naturally, it is even more impossible to become an enemy.

In that case, let's just treat it as a chance encounter with an acquaintance on the street, and it's okay to say hello and chat for a few words.

So, Lin Wuming relaxed and took the initiative to meet him.

"Long time no see, Accelerator," Lin Wuming raised his hand and waved, taking the lead to speak.

Accelerator looked down at him, and after a moment, he frowned and said, "Lin Wuming, you… your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Accelerator still remembered that Lin Wuming had been in a wheelchair since last year. He didn't expect that after more than half a year, he was still in a wheelchair?

"Uh…" Lin Wuming was also speechless when asked, "Although the injury at that time had healed long ago, I have been constantly injured since then… Of course I'm fine now, but the doctor suggested that I rest as much as possible and don't put too much pressure on my legs, so…"

Saying that, Lin Wuming patted the wheelchair under him.

"In other words, you are not injured now?" Accelerator said, then stared at Lin Wuming while showing a thoughtful look.

"Let's make it clear first," Lin Wuming quickly said, "Regardless of whether I'm injured or not, or what my condition is, I still can't beat you, so let's forget about duels or something."

"Tsk!" Accelerator showed a bored expression.

—So you really planned to duel with me!
