A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 255 Accelerator's Troubles

It was precisely because he was annoyed by those mentally abnormal challengers that Accelerator chose this remote and deserted path, and then unexpectedly met Lin Wuming again.

In comparison, Lin Wuming seems so precious - he is the only "normal human" among the people Accelerator has met recently who can communicate with him.

No matter what, at least it was certain that Lin Wuming would not challenge him so stupidly - Accelerator felt much more relaxed and continued to move closer to Lin Wuming's position.

There was even a hint of a smile on his face.

Lin Wuming was in a complicated mood. He didn't know what the strongest superpowered person across from him was thinking, but he was certain that at least he had no ill intentions at the moment, probably...

But, that was the notorious Accelerator after all, even though he knew he had no ill will towards him...

As Accelerator got closer, Lin Wuming became more and more nervous and alert. His telekinesis was highly active, and the telekinesis around him seemed to be boiling, waving its fangs and claws, ready to strike.

It's like facing a tiger, instinctive fear is inevitable.

At the moment when he was about to touch the edge of Lin Wuming's mental power, Accelerator stopped and stretched out a finger to probe forward.

Snapped!
Lin Wuming felt that a strand of his mental power was bounced away for no reason - "vector operation", without any sign, a 180-degree reversal happened in an instant!

"You..." The smile on Accelerator's face froze, "You also want to challenge me?"

As the smile faded, Lin Wuming inexplicably felt that Accelerator seemed to be in a very lost mood.

But this is not the point - Lin Wuming is not good at observing people's words and expressions - the point is that the crisis alarm sent by his body instinctively is becoming more and more obvious.

The pale young man in front of me is indeed an extremely dangerous tiger!
Lin Wuming took a deep breath and forced himself to remove the mental barrier in front of him.

"You're number one, number one in the world!" Lin Wuming said. "No matter who it is, anyone with even a little bit of strength and ambition would want to spar with you, right? After all, who in the martial arts world doesn't aspire to be number one?"

"Huh? So," Accelerator asked bluntly, "you're one of those idiots who want to get that title?"

"No, I know myself well." Lin Wuming waved his hand. "It only takes a moment for masters to fight, and the winner can be decided within a single move. In that moment just now, I already saw the gap between us."

"Hmph, was that your challenge just now?" Accelerator's expression eased slightly.

"I've already said it, it's not a challenge, it's a competition." Lin Wuming said seriously, "The two are different."

"Oh? What's different?"

"The purpose is different, so the specific forms of expression are different." Lin Wuming tried hard to recall all the background information about Accelerator in his mind, while trying to do a psychological analysis and character profile of the living and powerful superpower in front of him.

"The purpose of the challenge is to defeat you and seize the title of number one in the world," Lin Wuming explained. "Sparring is a form of communication—making friends through martial arts, seeking advice from those who are stronger, or making progress together with those of the same level. The goal is indeed to improve oneself and overcome one's own shortcomings... Of course, the ultimate goal is still to be number one in the world, but that will come later." "So," Accelerator nodded, a thoughtful look on his face. "Lin Wuming, did you just ask me for advice?"

——Guessed it right!

Lin Wuming cheered in his heart that he had successfully calmed the tiger and stroked its fur.

"I am a member of the 'Dark May' project." Lin Wuming said.

The "Dark May" project aims to use Accelerator's personality intelligence and input it into the subject's brain, hoping to enhance the subject's personal reality and ultimately achieve the ultimate goal of artificially increasing their ability level.

It can be said that the source of all this is Accelerator. All the subjects who participated in this experiment were essentially learning and imitating Accelerator.

Therefore, it is understandable that Lin Wuming, as a survivor of the "Dark May" plan, wants to learn a thing or two from Accelerator and witness the true power of the genuine "Vector Operation".

Accelerator nodded and accepted this statement. Although he was not interested in the affairs of the outside world, since it concerned his own personality information, he had heard of the "Dark May" plan to some extent.

"So you're the victim of that experiment," Accelerator said, looking at Lin Wuming in surprise. "But, I don't see that your abilities have been affected by me."

"After all, we don't have the same system capabilities at all, and who knows the exact principle of that experiment at this point?" Lin Wuming said, "Don't worry, I was just curious, so I tried it a little. As I said before, who doesn't want to experience the charm of the world's best?"

"Oh, number one in the world..." Accelerator sneered disdainfully, "I don't care about this kind of ranking made by others without authorization."

"But this is a fact," Lin Wuming said. "Number one in the world objectively exists, and you, Accelerator, are the undisputed number one in the world... At least, I can't think of anyone more suitable for this position than you."

"It's useless even if you praise me like that." Accelerator said with a strange expression, "Besides... if those idiots could learn to think like you, it would be much easier..."

Perhaps it was because he hadn't met someone with whom he could communicate normally for too long, or perhaps Lin Wuming had indeed gained his trust, Accelerator finally couldn't help but vent out all his troubles and complaints in one breath.

Honestly, Accelerator doesn't need recognition, flattery, or praise from others. The only thing he wants is for those stupid "challengers" to be a little more rational, face reality, and stop bothering him.

After hearing the little troubles of this "number one in the world" and "strongest superpower person", Lin Wuming felt something in his heart.

In the original story, Accelerator was persuaded to participate in the "Absolute Ability Evolution" plan in order to evolve from "the strongest" to "invincible".

——In Accelerator's opinion, the title of "the strongest" is naturally meant to attract others to challenge, and its ownership can only be determined after a battle; while "invincible" means that the winner has already been decided before the battle begins, and it is indisputable and cannot be refuted.

In other words, Accelerator's real purpose in attacking Level 6 was to "stop the war" and make all those who tried to challenge him give up and stop bothering him.

Although this purpose was distorted after he actually participated in the experiment.

But at this point in time...it seems like we can do something!
