A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 941 Enemy Invasion
"No way, even Accelerator is in trouble?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise after hearing the chairman's words. "What kind of enemy are you having him deal with?"

Could it be another formidable enemy like the one behind the water? Otherwise, Lin Wuming found it hard to imagine what kind of enemy could possibly cause Accelerator trouble.

"There's no need to worry too much about that. The target isn't actually that strong," the Chairman said. "It's not comparable to the monster you faced yesterday. The real problem lies in their numbers and their stealth."

It turns out that the chairman suddenly received intelligence in the early hours of this morning, with clues proving that "opposition forces against Academy City" had infiltrated the city and were waiting for an opportunity to cause damage.

Moreover, as intelligence gathering became more complete, it was discovered that these invaders were not just looking for minor trouble—they were so arrogant as to want to assassinate the council members, and even the chairman of the Aleister Council was in their assassination plot!

Faced with such a heinous suspect and criminal plan, even though it falls under the jurisdiction of the guards or even the secret service, the chairman decided that he could not stand idly by.

Fortunately, she has an ace up her sleeve, which is probably more powerful than the guards and secret service.

Accelerator was also extremely bored. He only went to school to experience life, and whether he attended classes or not didn't really matter to him. He just wanted to help the disciplinary committee handle some tricky cases and change his mood.

Of course, most importantly, Accelerator was always consciously or unconsciously imitating Lin Wuming when he was experiencing life.

The chairman discovered this and made full use of it—as long as Accelerator was given the same status and treatment as Lin Wuming, this strongest superpowered person would not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Lin Wuming had known about these things for a long time, but he also felt that he should find something for Accelerator to do.

—It's better than him suddenly going berserk or becoming obsessed with challenging me to a duel.

“However, this time I misjudged the situation,” the chairman explained. “This suspect is weaker than I expected, but more cunning, possessing a kind of ‘wisdom of the weak.’ Accelerator, the ‘strongest,’ doesn’t align well with them and cannot unleash his true power.”

The difficulty of the mission is not defeating the enemy, but finding them.

After a full day of running around, Accelerator has apprehended fifteen suspects—no mistake, they are indeed all real intruders, but an unknown number of accomplices are still hiding in the shadows…

Just as Accelerator's patience was about to run out, he received news that Lin Wuming had recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so the Chairman immediately sought him out.

Supporting Accelerator and uncovering the suspects who intended to assassinate the council members—this was the task the chairman specifically entrusted to Lin Wuming.

Ultimately, what the chairman really values ​​is Lin Wuming's intelligence network—to put it more bluntly, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, both Level 5s.

Compared to Accelerator, Lin Wuming's biggest advantage is that he has connections with other Level 5s, which can be fully utilized when necessary.

Lin Wuming didn't think that Chairman Aleister would be in any danger. It was hard to say whether those assassins would be able to enter the "building without windows" and see Chairman Aleister with their own eyes.

In contrast, the "ordinary board members" are in great danger.

The person most likely to be successfully assassinated is undoubtedly the most approachable and least secure Director Okinawa.

"Send all the information over, and I'll help you process it," Lin Wuming said.

Ignorance is bliss. It's clear that the enemy had no idea what kind of monster Chairman Aleister was, which is why they shamelessly proposed the plan to "assassinate the chairman."

However, precisely because of their ignorance, these individuals are likely to act without restraint, easily causing unnecessary damage and casualties. Therefore, capturing them as soon as possible and minimizing losses is of utmost importance.

After accepting the task, Kofumi also got up.

“Although Hu Feng isn’t here,” Kofumi Miwa looked at Shirai Kuroko, “Shirai is here, so it’s a perfect three-person team again—I’ll join in.”

“Me,” Misaka Mikoto raised her hand and said, “I’ll help too.”

“Of course,” Lin Wuming said. “Didn’t you hear what the chairman meant just now? The reason he asked me to take action was actually to borrow your and Shokuhou’s abilities.”

As he walked towards the door, Lin Wuming said, "By the way, Mikoto, can you contact your sisters?"

“Yes, I can,” Misaka Mikoto nodded. “What do you need them for?”

“Checking the progress,” Lin Wuming explained, “I need to know how Accelerator is doing, but if I ask him directly, he might get angry.”

"That's quite possible..." Misaka Mikoto put herself in her shoes and thought about it—if she failed to complete her mission and then Shokuhou Misaki came to help... she would definitely be very unhappy!

"But why look for the younger sisters?"

"Just a guess," Lin Wuming shrugged. "Accelerator's popularity is even worse than mine; and for investigation missions like this, you can't do it alone, you need an intelligence network. The intelligence network that Accelerator can use... after thinking about it, there's only one, right?"

The Misaka Network—a massive network comprised of ten thousand Misaka Sisters scattered throughout Academy City. If you want to search for a specific target, there probably isn't a more convenient and user-friendly system than this.
—Except for the Aleister Chairman's "Hanging Loop".

Furthermore, Accelerator has an inexplicable connection with the Misaka clones, and seems to always encounter all sorts of strange "Misaka Sisters".

“And even if Accelerator doesn’t rely on the Misaka Network,” Lin Wuming added, “it doesn’t prevent us from using it.”

As mentioned earlier, Misaka Networks is indeed a very reliable tool for searching for specific targets.

Misaka Mikoto nodded in agreement, then took out her phone to make the call.

"Lin Wuming, Lin Wuming, please wait!"

The four of them had barely walked out of the teaching building where the activity room was located when they saw a man in a suit and tie hurriedly following them.

"Lin Wuming, and Misaka Mikoto, please give me a few minutes!"

"Who are you?" Misaka Mikoto frowned as she looked over.

“I am a member of the Daihasei Festival Operations Committee,” the man in the suit showed his work ID. “Excuse me, I’m sorry to take up a few minutes of your time.”
