A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 962 Special Achievements

The reason Lin Wuming is willing to be alone today and act as a strategist instead of personally leading the charge as before is that he wants to catch the "big boss" hiding behind the scenes.

After all, in today's major riot, the number of enemies was large, but their quality was not very high. In short, they were just a bunch of small fry, which really made Lin Wuming not interested in taking action himself.

In contrast, Lin Wuming was more interested in the mastermind behind everything who orchestrated and planned this massive riot.

Regardless of whether that person's individual combat strength is strong or weak, he is definitely someone that Lin Wuming should personally deal with.

Lin Wuming mobilized all his connections and did his best to suppress the riot, with the ultimate goal of forcing the culprit to reveal his true colors.

As a result, Lin Wuming operated swiftly and decisively in this hastily assembled command center, eliminating all the suspects involved in the riot in one fell swoop.

Until the last tech spy suspected of stealing classified data from the research institute was arrested, the so-called mastermind behind it all was nowhere to be seen.

"..." Lin Wuming was so speechless that he even felt like laughing.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off personally going to the front lines to fight a battle and arresting a few Class A suspects myself.

"Nameless Senior?" Seeing Lin Wuming suddenly laugh, Misaka Mikoto stepped forward with some concern and asked, "Are you... alright?"

"Are you too tired?" Shirai Kuroko asked worriedly.

Although Lin Wuming did not participate in the battle at all, the mental and physical effort required to command such a large-scale operation was enormous, and just watching from the sidelines was exhausting.

After all, when commanding a real war, there is a ready-made command system available. In technologically advanced places like Academy City, there is even a complete command system to assist in command.

This time, Lin Wuming and his group, however, fabricated a large-scale crackdown operation that spanned the entire city, relying solely on telephone communication and what they literally meant by "connections."

In this operation, Lin Wuming's importance is beyond doubt; without him as the core node, this scheme simply could not have been put together.

This is precisely why Lin Wuming bore the greatest pressure.

The official agencies, the guards and the disciplinary committee, are fine, but the armed groups of powerless individuals and the secret organizations are different. These unruly guys may only be willing to obey orders and cooperate with the operation because they are giving "Lin Wuming" face.

If conflicts or even clashes break out between these organizations, only Lin Wuming can mediate and coordinate.

At the busiest times, Lin Wuming didn't even have enough mobile phones for himself, and he had to borrow the guard unit's professional communication system to alleviate the problem.

Therefore, although Lin Wuming himself did not think it was a big deal, and even felt a little bored, in the eyes of others except Misaka Mikoto, the pressure and workload Lin Wuming was facing at that time were outrageous.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, not tired at all." Lin Wuming shook his head, then sighed, "It's just... a little boring."

"Boring...?" Kofumi Miwa was immediately dumbfounded. Kofumi Miwa herself felt like she was about to collapse from exhaustion, while she only needed to contact Kurozuma Watari and indirectly handle matters related to the armed group of powerless individuals. Compared to that, her workload was already very low.

“Don’t forget that the nameless senior is a Level 5,” Misaka Mikoto reminded him. “Don’t underestimate the brains of us Level 5s.”

That's right. The reason Misaka Mikoto wasn't surprised was because she was also a Level 5, so she was able to assess that the previous action hadn't put too much pressure on a Level 5's brain.

Conversely, because she was very familiar with Lin Wuming, Misaka Mikoto also noticed that Lin Wuming's emotions were not right.

—Even though they had won, or rather, won completely, the nameless senior didn't seem very happy... no, it would be more accurate to say he seemed dissatisfied.

Misaka Mikoto was surprisingly able to empathize with the emotional state that Lin Wuming was exhibiting at this moment.

—Are you feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled because you didn't have the chance to do it yourself? I understand that feeling!
"Alright!" Lin Wuming shook his head, quickly composed himself, "Now that the incident has been resolved and all suspects have been apprehended, let's... disperse and go home."

Lin Wuming clapped his hands and announced the disbandment of the temporary command center.

After all, it was just a makeshift team that Lin Wuming put together on a whim, so disbanding it only required a word from Lin Wuming.

But at this moment, the guards in the meeting room who were responsible for assisting Lin Wuming looked hesitant to speak. They wanted to call Lin Wuming back—how could they not hold a meeting to summarize after just commanding such a large-scale operation?

Unlike Lin Wuming, who was completely indifferent to the matter, the guards were well aware of just how shocking everything that had happened that afternoon was.

It can be said that if it weren't for Lin Wuming, such a special person, they might never have seen such a scene.

Before this, they had never imagined that they, as guards, could actually work together with those delinquent youths. They could even cooperate well with those arrogant and unruly secret organizations. It was truly a miracle!
Unfortunately, Aisui Huangquanchuan was not here at the moment, and the other guards were somewhat lacking in confidence when facing Lin Wuming.

If the nickname "Nameless Director" had a somewhat mocking connotation before today, representing an empty promise without real power, then after being tempered by this incident, Lin Wuming's status as a "director" is now a well-deserved and prestigious title.

In fact, strictly speaking, probably no other director has a stronger influence and personnel mobilization ability than Lin Wuming!
Faced with such a powerful figure, the guards couldn't find a reason to keep him around, except to facilitate their debriefing meeting...

"Ah, Professor Yomi Kawakami, you're back." Misaki Shokuhou's voice suddenly came from the conference room door.

Misaki Shokuhou greeted Aiho Yomikawa with a smile, and then informed her of what had happened there through "Mental Control".

—Huh? A debriefing meeting?
Huang Quanchuan Aihui was taken aback for a moment—there was indeed such a habit, but that was a customary practice within our guards, and it wouldn't apply to Lin Wuming.

Aiho Yomikawa is not a Level 5, nor even a superpowered being, so she cannot understand the extent to which a Level 5's brain can process information.

Based on her own experience, Huang Quanchuan Aihui felt that her Lin Wuming must be exhausted this time.

So, let's put all those debriefing meetings aside!
