A Scientific Urban Detective

Under the command of Junzo Kurudou, "Artificial Workshop" went into a state of maximum alert—which also meant entering the final preparatory stage before the official start of the experiment.

Ordinary, low-level researchers didn't feel anything special, and weren't even aware that Lin Wuming was about to come knocking; and even if they did know, they wouldn't be afraid, because in their minds, they weren't conducting illegal experiments, so of course they wouldn't fear the "hero's" sanctions.

The ones who were truly nervous were the nine executives, Kurudou Junzo's confidants, who knew the truth about "Ideal Ability" and knew that they were conducting a genuine illegal experiment—the children participating in the experiment were actually "sacrifices" prepared for the birth of "Ideal Ability."

And thinking about Lin Wuming's glorious achievements and the nickname "bane of illegal experimental institutions"...

Their colleagues at "Black Moon Technology" and "Exploring Frontier" were cautionary tales!

Total annihilation, not a single survivor—that was the final fate of those two research institutions, all the researchers and security personnel were killed by that ruthless little devil!

Indeed, in related fields, Lin Wuming's reputation was surprisingly loud, one could say he had a "fierce reputation," a bloodthirsty maniac with the blood of hundreds on his hands!

In fact, in the "Exploring Frontier" Research Institute incident, Lin Wuming didn't kill anyone. Even Toramitsu Hachi, who was with him, only stabbed a few people but didn't take any lives.

The one who really ruthlessly killed and slaughtered the entire research institute was the ninja girl Chazumi Tsurigane.

The subsequent investigation by the guard forces also confirmed this.

However, in urban legends and gossip, all these "achievements" were attributed to Lin Wuming.

Who told Lin Wuming to have a criminal record? And he did directly participate in related events. Plus, he's been very popular recently and highly topical, so he naturally attracts such rumors.

For similar reasons, the truth about "Exploring Frontier," like "Black Moon Technology," was sealed by the guard forces.

Chazumi Tsurigane's existence and deeds were hidden and not exposed to public view.

Instead, Lin Wuming's "glorious deeds" were spread—he became the "hero" who once again rescued the children trapped in illegal experimental institutions and killed all the bad guys.

In the short month since his "debut," Lin Wuming had destroyed three large research institutes in a row, rescued many children who had become experimental subjects, and killed many participants in illegal experiments.

This "hero's" title was forged with blood and glorious achievements.

So, the executives of "Artificial Workshop" were naturally very worried that they would follow in the footsteps of their colleagues and be sanctioned and killed by that "hero."

—And looking at the attitude of the guard forces towards Lin Wuming, it's likely that even if these "bad guys" died, it would be in vain, and Lin Wuming wouldn't be sanctioned in any way.

Thinking of this, they felt a burst of despair.

—Is the plan made by the president really okay? He said he hired an Anbu organization, including even Level 5 superhumans, enough to kill Lin Wuming...

However, no one except Junzo Kurudou himself had ever witnessed the power of a Level 5 superhuman.

When it came to their own vital interests, the executives were more willing to believe that Lin Wuming, who had hundreds of kills to his name, was more powerful.

And to take a step back, even if the Anbu organization could eventually kill Lin Wuming and eliminate this threat, who could guarantee that Lin Wuming wouldn't take a few people with him as he struggled in his dying moments? Or that the aftershocks of the battle wouldn't randomly take a few unlucky people?

You should know that even the aftershocks of a battle between high-level espers are not something ordinary humans can withstand.

Because they were terrified, the nine executives grouped together in twos and threes to discuss countermeasures.

"...What? We're conducting illegal experiments?" Another researcher accidentally overheard the executives' conversation and was immediately shocked. "But the president said that Ideal Ability has no harm..."

"Do you believe that yourself?" One executive coldly exposed the truth. "Stop deceiving yourself. Besides Yeri Tooyama, that stupid woman, who here is truly completely unaware?"

The researchers who gathered around fell silent. Indeed, as the executive said, everyone working at this research institute was not innocent—except for Yeri Tooyama, the newly graduated and newly hired woman.

However, unlike the executives, the other ordinary researchers did not have access to the most core confidential information for confidentiality reasons, which objectively led to their "ignorance."

But in reality, everyone was an experienced professional researcher. Everyone knew what the research institute was doing, what it wanted to do, and how it treated the children, but they just didn't make it clear.

As for Yeri Tooyama, it can't be said that she was the last bit of conscience in the research institute, but a role was actually needed to take care of and comfort the experimental subjects, so they chose to deceive her as well—this was considered standard practice in similar research institutes.

The newest novel is first published on [Liǔ][Qiǔ] [Shū][Bā]!

New researchers were directly responsible for taking care of the experimental subjects, and after experiencing such a "baptism," they would become professional and experienced researchers...

Many people in the research institute had actually gone through this, so this familiar atmosphere easily reminded them of their past experiences, and they naturally guessed some of the truth.

In addition, when Lin Wuming broke into "Artificial Workshop" last time to rescue the two girls in the first research lab, the staff in the research institute were subjected to group psychological suggestion to surround Lin Wuming; then they were subjected to another layer of psychological suggestion from Misaki Shokuhou, which strengthened their impression of Lin Wuming as a "killing maniac."

So at this moment, when they thought that Lin Wuming was about to come to their door again, not only the executives, but even these ordinary staff members panicked subconsciously.

What to do? What to do!

Panic spread quickly through the crowd like an infectious disease, superimposed on each other, and rapidly expanded in people's sighs and complaints.

The ordinary staff of "Artificial Workshop" didn't know the whole truth, so in their minds, the reason for suddenly starting the experiment early was to avoid Lin Wuming's interference, make a surprise attack, and complete the entire project.

But they didn't expect that Lin Wuming's information would be so well-informed that he had already arrived at the door...

"We must start the experiment immediately!" At this moment, one of the executives suddenly said.
