A Scientific Urban Detective

Shokuhou Misaki's sudden mention of Kaibara Gakuki caused Lin Wuming to calm down slightly—to be honest, he had almost forgotten about it.

After all, it was just a random excuse, and Lin Wuming didn't really take it to heart.

But then again, if he could really communicate with Kaibara Gakuki, perhaps it could really help him improve his strength?

Lin Wuming's feelings were half-hearted, but every time he dealt with Accelerator, his desire to become stronger did indeed become more intense. And seeking advice from the Level 4 telekinetic, Kaibara Gakuki, was probably the only feasible way for Lin Wuming to become stronger that he could think of right now.

Lin Wuming was hospitalized again. This time, although his hands and feet were not fractured, he couldn't move freely in the short term due to fractured ribs and internal organ damage.

On the second day of his hospitalization, Yomikawa Aiho brought a wheelchair that had been idle at home for only a few days to the ward.

"The autopsy results are out," Yomikawa Aiho said while delivering the wheelchair, also taking the opportunity to introduce the investigation results of yesterday's case. "The cause of death was a sudden heart attack, but the deceased had no history of heart disease, so drug induction is highly likely."

"Poisoning?" Lin Wuming said, "As expected, someone wanted to frame Accelerator."

"That's our judgment as well, someone wants to frame him." Yomikawa Aiho showed a headache expression, "But Accelerator refuses to cooperate with our investigation, and no one dares to ask him…"

"After all, that kind of thing happened." Shokuhou Misaki said, "Even Wuming-senpai, who helped him so much, was almost killed! He's really lacking in normalcy!"

Hachiwaki Toumei snorted, still looking indignant.

"But we can't relax the investigation either." Yomikawa Aiho said with a serious expression.

She also learned about the situation at the scene yesterday. It could be said that they were really only a little bit away from an irreversible situation!

Thanks to Lin Wuming's timely appearance to save the day, and for some unknown reason, attract Accelerator's attention.

Otherwise, with the destructive power that Accelerator showed yesterday, the consequences would be unimaginable if he was provoked and went berserk!

And the guy who designed to plot against Accelerator behind the scenes obviously had bad intentions. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the security forces must investigate the matter thoroughly.

Yomikawa Aiho came here today also to ask Lin Wuming about the situation. After all, Lin Wuming and Accelerator have a special relationship, which everyone has already witnessed.

Although it's hard to say whether this "special relationship" is leaning towards the positive or the negative…

"Accelerator… from what I know, he doesn't want to kill people, nor does he want to be challenged endlessly," Lin Wuming said, "Because there are too many foolish people who overestimate themselves, that's why he feels annoyed, and then becomes extreme."

"Even so, you're still helping him to speak up…" Even Yomikawa Aiho couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Because I want to win against him and take the title of 'Number One Under Heaven'!" Lin Wuming said.

"…Wuming, you're really serious about this." Yomikawa Aiho said with emotion.

After all, having personally witnessed Accelerator's strength, even his guardian, who was inclined towards Lin Wuming, couldn't say irresponsible words of encouragement like "You can definitely do it."

"Of course I know the difference in strength between me and Accelerator." Lin Wuming said with a wry smile, "That's why I have to maintain and help him as much as possible."

According to Lin Wuming's explanation, Accelerator was already so strong, so he couldn't be allowed to start killing—this would at least limit his strength, and when challenging him, even if he lost, he wouldn't be directly killed by him, and there would be another chance to come back.

"If he really gets used to killing people, then I'll really be in danger." Lin Wuming said.

"That being said, with the posture yesterday, he didn't show any mercy at all, he completely wanted to kill you." Yomikawa Aiho said.

"Didn't I survive in the end?" Lin Wuming said with a smile.

Yomikawa Aiho shook her head and left the hospital after confirming that Lin Wuming's injuries were not serious.

"Wuming-senpai." Shokuhou Misaki's voice sounded in his mind.

Lin Wuming perked up—this encrypted call meant that Shokuhou Misaki had something very important to say.

He saw the girl looking over with a serious expression: "I think, Wuming-senpai's plan is very unreliable! Completely pinning your hopes on Accelerator's conscience… it's impossible, right?"

"As expected, let me try to brainwash him and make him give up accepting that plan…"

"No," Lin Wuming rejected the girl's suggestion, "Accelerator… I don't think your ability can work on him for a long time."

Perhaps due to the effect of something like a "first-time kill," it could temporarily manipulate Accelerator's mental will, but over time, with Accelerator's strength, he would definitely be able to break the effect of "Mental Out."

In fact, it was possible that the brainwashing would not succeed from the beginning. After all, that was Accelerator!

"Wuming-senpai…" Shokuhou Misaki said unhappily, "Are you too biased towards Accelerator!"

"It's not that I'm biased towards him," Lin Wuming responded, "After all, that's Accelerator, a guy who can even understand and master magic. It wouldn't be strange to say that he can break your Mental Out, right?"

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"…" Shokuhou Misaki was sullen, "As expected, is I still too weak?"

"It should be said that Accelerator is too much of a rule breaker." Lin Wuming said.

Accelerator is completely a BUG-level existence on the science side. In the original plot, if he hadn't encountered the "real BUG" "Imagine Breaker", there probably wouldn't have been any possibility of "losing."

It's no wonder Lin Wuming would be so careful and cautious with such an opponent.

"Okay…" Shokuhou Misaki said helplessly, "In short, Wuming-senpai, it's better not to meet that guy again—every time you meet, you end up with injuries all over your body, it's really too terrible!"

"That's what I'm hoping for too." Lin Wuming said.

Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes. Being able to directly see through Lin Wuming's true thoughts, she certainly didn't believe what he said.

Not long after Yomikawa Aiho left, Kouhaku Misaka came to the ward.

After visiting the sick, Kouhaku Misaka put the backpack she had specially brought on her lap. Then she looked at Shokuhou Misaki with some concern.

"Shokuhou Misaki is someone you can trust… you know that." Lin Wuming guessed her concerns, so he said.

"Well… that's true, after all, she is 'Mental Out'." Kouhaku Misaka thought for a while and nodded.
