A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 248 Accelerator, No Solution

In recent times, Shokuhou Misaki has been running around. She tried her best and put in all her effort, but in the end she only found Dolly's whereabouts, and nothing else.

If Lin Wuming's memory information had not confirmed the existence of the "mass production of ability users" plan and the 20,000 Misaka sisters, Shokuhou Misaki would probably have been fooled and mistakenly believed that the "Misaka clone" experiment had come to an end?
But now, Shokuhou Misaki, who had already read the script in advance, would certainly not be fooled so easily.

"So~" Shokuhou Misaki looked at Lin Wuming, supporting her chin with one hand and gesturing with the remote control in the other, "Senior Wuming, do you really not remember any other more crucial information?"

Lin Wuming couldn't help but roll his eyes and complained, "You probably know better than me what's in my memory. Of course I don't know!"

"This is troublesome..." Shokuhou Misaki sighed and shook her head. "With my connections, my investigation has reached its limit. The higher-ups are definitely wary of my abilities and won't let me easily get in touch with people involved in important projects."

Although "psychological control" is powerful, it ultimately has its limits.

That's why Shokuhou Misaki came to Lin Wuming to discuss whether to tell Misaka Mikoto about the existence of the "Misaka Sisters" and bring her in to investigate together.

If "psychological mastery" is a special attack against people, then Misaka Mikoto's level 5 "electric shock user" is a top-level hacker against electrical systems and modern information networks.

In the ultra-modern metropolis of Academy City, Misaka Mikoto's influence might be even greater—as long as researchers in relevant research institutions are still using computers and the Internet to work, they will leave clues and be discovered.

"The risk is too great," Lin Wuming shook his head, rejecting Shokuhou Misaki's proposal. "If it's just to find that laboratory, it's not worth involving Misaka Mikoto right now."

Lin Wuming believed that if they joined forces with Misaka Mikoto to investigate the "Misaka Sister" incident, it would inevitably be noticed by Chairman Aleister. It was hard to say what measures he would take to deal with it at that time.

So since this is the case, Lin Wuming thinks he should save this only chance for the most critical moment - let Misaka Mikoto, the new force of level 5, play a decisive role.

"But that would be too sudden. Do you think Misaka Mikoto would be able to react by then?" Shokuhou Misaki's face was full of disbelief.

In the original story, although Misaka Mikoto's performance after learning the truth can be called courageous, it is difficult to describe it as "calm and rational"... Of course, as a party involved, it is indeed a bit too much to ask her to remain rational.

Shokuhou Misaki was very worried about what Misaka Mikoto would do when the truth was suddenly revealed and she suffered a huge mental shock.

Totally unpredictable—Shokuhou Misaki doesn't like people and things that are beyond her control.

That's why she advocated telling Misaka Mikoto the truth in advance so that she would have time to accept the reality and calm down.

"But the question is, how do you plan to reveal the truth to Misaka Mikoto while calming her down and preventing her from reacting too violently and being discovered by Chairman Aleister?" Lin Wuming asked back.

He raised his hand and waved it in front of him - with the invisible and intangible monitoring network of the "Hover Loop", any abnormal behavior could be discovered by Chairman Aleister.

Shokuhou Misaki remained silent. This was indeed a question that could not be avoided.

The reason why the two of them can now "conspire" here unscrupulously is entirely based on the superpower of "psychological control".

The "hover loop" cannot read minds.

If Misaka Mikoto is not a level 5 "electric shock user", it would be fine to tell her the truth about the "mass production type ability user" plan through "mental control".

Even if she jumped in surprise, he could control her body with his "mental control" and force her to remain calm and pretend nothing happened. Then he would have plenty of time to calm down and adjust her acting skills to deceive the surveillance cameras.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the risk of exposure.

It's a pity that Misaka Mikoto is immune to the effects of "mental control"...

So there was no way to use this safest method to establish a secret connection with her and tell her the truth.

In addition, revealing information about "Misaka Sisters" through any other means will run the risk of leaking the information.

In particular, Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki are still the targets of special attention and surveillance by their superiors, and Shokuhou Misaki has been explicitly warned not to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Misaka clone incident.

Under such circumstances, if anyone dares to speak or act recklessly, even the security forces will probably take action and punish them.

"...Damn it, she really is the person I hate the most! She's extremely troublesome in every sense of the word." Shokuhou Misaki complained.

"Looks like we'll have to take a bit of a risk and directly investigate the research and facilities related to the 'Misaka clone'!" Shokuhou Misaki said. "I already know part of the truth, so even if I dig deeper, it probably won't alert them, right?"

Lin Wuming advised: "Be careful and be cautious."

"Mumbo-san," Shokuhou Misaki suddenly stood up and walked over to Lin Wuming. "You've been so negative since a while ago. That's not like you."

"My style?" Lin Wuming smiled. "What style can I have..."

"As a 'hero', Wuming Senior, upon discovering these girls in distress, shouldn't he have taken the most proactive action to save them?" Shokuhou Misaki said. "But Wuming Senior doesn't seem to be displaying that same energy and spirit right now."

This time, Lin Wuming finally remained silent. But in the face of "psychological control", there was no point in remaining silent.

Giving up resistance, Lin Wuming answered honestly: "Because I have almost no way to deal with this matter... Whether it's the Misaka sisters or Accelerator..."

According to the original plot, the "Mass Production of Ability Users" plan and the "Absolute Ability Evolution" plan are actually one and the same; it is almost impossible to solve the former and save all the Misaka sisters, because Accelerator... has no solution!
Under Accelerator's control, "Vector Operation" becomes a nearly invincible and omnipotent superpower. Because he can control everything in this material world by manipulating vectors!
Only by introducing the element of "mysticism" and utilizing the completely unscientific power of magic can it be possible to defeat Accelerator.

Just like in the original story, Kamijou Touma's "Imagine Breaker" cannot be considered a scientific or "superpower" power in the final analysis.

The subsequent attacks that also caused Accelerator to suffer setbacks were basically all caused by "magic".

At this point in time, the "magic side" hadn't appeared publicly that frequently, so even if Lin Wuming wanted to contact it, he wouldn't have found an opportunity. Not to mention, as a person with super powers, he probably couldn't master the power of "magic" at all - even if he was a time traveler.

Therefore, we can conclude that under the "superpower" system, Accelerator is invincible!
