A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 254 It turns out to be him
After turning a corner, the person he had been thinking about the most, Accelerator, suddenly appeared in front of him. The fact that he was not startled was already a testament to Lin Wuming's recent improvement in acting skills and his ability to perfectly control his facial expressions.

Fortunately, Accelerator is not a "psychological master", so he cannot see Lin Wuming's true inner thoughts, and does not know that this little "telekinetic user" in front of him is planning a script of the lower class overthrowing the upper class and the snake swallowing the elephant.

Accelerator looked at Lin Wuming carefully, then took the initiative to say: "Your injury... has not healed yet?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be just finding a normal topic to chat, Lin Wuming also relaxed and reaffirmed that Accelerator at this stage could still be considered a person who could communicate normally. He did not look like the monster in the original plot who had been mentally distorted and in a semi-crazy state by the "Absolute Ability User Evolution" plan.

"Something happened. I had already recovered, but I accidentally got injured again today." Lin Wuming continued the topic.

Lin Wuming knew that he was a public figure now, so it was not surprising that Accelerator knew him.

I even felt a sense of relief - my decision to disclose my mobile phone number and become a "hero" would play a role in this unexpected situation.

No matter what, being able to communicate with Accelerator is better than getting into a fight over a disagreement...

"Injured again?" Accelerator gave a somewhat strange expression. "You, fell from the building again?"

"No, no," Lin Wuming shook his head repeatedly, then suddenly froze, "Huh? From upstairs again—how did you know I was…"

Since his first public appearance, Lin Wuming has been a classic image of someone sitting in a wheelchair. As to why he was injured and ended up in a wheelchair, it has never been mentioned in any public reports.

Why would Accelerator know this?

And it seems that Accelerator doesn't seem like his fanatical fan who would trace his past experiences in every detail...

Lin Wuming looked at the pale figure opposite him again, and suddenly noticed the pair of unusually clean and spotless sneakers on his feet.

——Are you stupid?

——Why are you hiding? If you hadn't suddenly changed your trajectory, you wouldn't have ended up like this, right?

—Hey, are you looking down on me? Why would I care about a mere 40 kilograms of material? I was thinking of saving you, but who knew you'd be so clever...

Thinking back carefully, Accelerator's voice seemed familiar; once, at the very beginning, when he had just fallen from the building...

"Ah, it was you at that time!" Lin Wuming could not hide his surprise.

I didn't expect that the first person I really dealt with after traveling through time would be Accelerator!

"So you don't even know me..." Accelerator was shocked and had a speechless expression.

"After all, I didn't see your face that day," Lin Wuming sighed, "No wonder you said that at that time..."

Lin Wuming was filled with emotion.

When he thought about how he had forcibly activated his newly awakened telepathy in order to avoid implicating innocent passers-by, changing the original perfect landing trajectory, which resulted in broken legs and arms and forced him to sit in a wheelchair for almost two months, he felt more and more that it was not worth it.

If I had known that the person below was Accelerator, why would I be hiding?

With Accelerator's ability, he would not be hurt by objects weighing dozens of kilograms falling from high altitude. Even rescuing himself would be a piece of cake.

"Okay," Lin Wuming spread his hands and said helplessly, "At that time, I had just escaped from the illegal research institute and was not familiar with the people and things outside, so I didn't recognize you at the time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have..."

Lin Wuming patted his thigh. Accelerator walked over and said, "If it wasn't a fall, then it was due to fighting? You seem to be quite active lately."

In fact, Accelerator was not very interested in the outside world. The reason why he knew Lin Wuming was only because they had a brief exchange when they first met.

After that, I occasionally heard news about Lin Wuming on TV reports, and learned that Lin Wuming now had the title of "hero".

But for many other things, such as the fact that Lin Wuming had become a member of the Discipline Committee and temporarily retired from the profession of "hero", he knew nothing about it and had no interest in knowing.

Therefore, Accelerator still believed that Lin Wuming was injured when he destroyed an illegal research institute.

"That's right," Lin Wuming nodded, "I encountered a difficult person with great abilities today."

"Great power..." Accelerator scoffed, not hiding his disdain, "Are you level 3?"

"Yes, a level 3 telekinetic user."

"Strong ability defeats great ability. Even though he was injured, it's still pretty good." Accelerator nodded, feeling that he had given a very high evaluation.

Although in his opinion, level 3 and level 4 were meaningless and all were weaklings, he still affirmed and praised Lin Wuming's "heroic act".

——Although his strength is still very weak, compared to those idiots who only use their superpowers to do evil and bring trouble to me, Lin Wuming can indeed be regarded as a normal human being who can be approached.

Accelerator is the top-ranked level 5 and the strongest esper in Academy City.

But he did not feel the slightest bit happy about getting this title, instead he felt that it was the source of endless troubles.

Since the day the rankings were announced, so-called "challengers" have been coming in from all directions.

At any time and any place, there will be inexplicable guys jumping out and trying to challenge Accelerator to seize the title of "number one".

He had also tried to communicate, using words to persuade those "challengers" to give up such reckless attempts.

But how can one say this? Among those challengers, even those with strong level 3 abilities are few and far between. In fact, the vast majority are so-called "incompetents"—the fact that they could ignore such a huge objective level gap and challenge the "strongest level 5" is inherently abnormal.

Anyone who could be persuaded with words would never have done such a thing in the first place.

It is conceivable that the "challengers" that Accelerator encountered were essentially a group of lunatics or fools.

Every day he deals with people who are simply impossible to communicate with rationally. After encountering this so many times, Accelerator almost develops autism.

So, he simply shut himself off in reality—using “vector operations” to bounce off everything around him, isolating himself from all external noise…

Even so, we must be careful not to really "kill" those stupid "challengers".

In the end, Accelerator became so fed up that he developed the habit of staying out at night and taking the most remote paths.
