A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 264 Genius Hacker
"Why don't I follow the example of Senior Lin Wuming and directly destroy that underground arena?" Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up, and she felt that she had come up with a good idea.

Anyway, as a level 5 superpower, it shouldn't be difficult for me to be a "hero", right?
There is no need to worry about how to "call the police" anymore. With your own abilities, you can solve this case yourself!
Having made up her mind, Misaka Mikoto was in a good mood and immediately decided to return to the dormitory to recuperate and show her skills tomorrow night!
At the same time, at the Discipline Committee Headquarters Building.

A discipline committee member hurriedly knocked on the door of the chairman's office.

"Good news, Chairman!"

The chairman, who was reviewing a mountain of documents, looked up, stroked his forehead, and said, "Calm down. Don't get so jumpy. You'll scare me."

In the past two days, due to the series of bomb attacks against the Discipline Committee members, every time someone knocked on the door hurriedly, it brought bad news, which made the chairman a little nervous.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time! But this time it's good news, seriously!" the girl who came to report the news said quickly, "We found the location and time for this season's Underground Arena competition!"

The chairman raised his head abruptly and put down his pen. "Are you sure? Where? When? How did you get this information?"

"It was discovered by a child who was undergoing training. She broke through the firewall of the secret website and found this information from their server."

"Hacker? When did we have such a talented kid?" the chairman asked in surprise. "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"That child has serious academic imbalances and failed the first round of assessments, so he's still receiving preliminary training."

Primary training mainly focuses on physical fitness and athletic ability training. As soon as the chairman heard it, he knew what the so-called "biased" meant.

"What's that kid's name? Don't waste her time on things like elementary training," the chairman said. "Special matters require special treatment. Talent like this should be allowed to fully utilize their strengths."

"Hatsuharu Shikiri is still a fifth-year student. It's a good opportunity to arrange for her to start training and officially become a discipline committee member next school year."

It was also when Hatsuharu Shiori was receiving training at the headquarters that she heard others mention fragments of "underground arenas" and "secret websites" in their conversation.

Because there were some parts in the conversation that interested her - keywords like "website" and "firewall", Hatsuharu Shiori was a little concerned and took the initiative to ask a few questions.

Although there was no particularly valuable information, for Hatsuharu Shiori, it was enough to confirm a few key words, and she could look up the rest herself.

Without bragging, Hatsuharu Shiori thinks she is quite good at doing internet searches.

And the facts also proved her judgment. It was not difficult to break through the firewall and enter the secret website of the "underground arena". For Hatsuharu Shiori, it was no different from when she usually logged in to browse the official website of the Discipline Committee.

It is worth mentioning that Hatsuharu Shiori noticed that she was not the first person to hack into the secret website - before her, another mysterious hacker had already broken in.

The reason why Hatsuharu Shiori felt that the invasion process was not difficult was largely because someone had helped her solve most of the troubles in advance.

However, that "colleague" seemed a little impatient and not careful in his work. After getting the information he wanted, he left in a hurry.

It was Hatsuharu Shiori who kindly helped cover up and repair the situation to prevent the organizers of the underground arena from discovering that their website had been hacked.

—If they were to become alert and change the match schedule or location, that would be troublesome. Thus, under the careful protection of Hatsuharu Shikiri, the secret website returned to its former tranquility. No matter who checked, no trace of a stranger would be found.

Despite having done something that was enough to attract a personal meeting with the Chairman, Hatsuharu Shikiri herself did not have any special feelings.

For her, it was just a piece of cake and not worth mentioning.

Of course, being able to be exempted from a lot of assessments as a "special technical talent" - especially physical fitness assessments, and being directly selected as a discipline committee member really made Hatsuharu Shikiri overjoyed.

Watching the girl, wearing a garland, leave the office with a smile on her face, the chairman clasped his hands together, pressed his index finger between his eyebrows, and said in distress, "So, what should I do next?"

Because the Discipline Committee has various types of special talents, this situation often occurs - they sometimes get key intelligence earlier than the guard troops.

However, since the Discipline Committee members do not have the power to enforce the law outside the school, according to convention, they usually share intelligence with the security forces as soon as possible so that the security forces can take action as soon as possible after receiving the intelligence and arrest the suspects or solve the case as soon as possible.

But this time...

"I feel a little unwilling to hand over the information to the guard troops like this..." the chairman muttered to himself.

Based on the existing intelligence, it can be determined that the "explosion demon" cases that began last night are directly related to the "underground arena".

In the "Explosion Demon" case, their discipline committee members suffered heavy losses and pressure.

In order to avoid the attack of a "bomber", the discipline committee members were even forced to make the shameful concession of "hiding their identities".

The members of the Discipline Committee are selected from students who have gone through multiple rounds of screening and are excellent in all aspects.

They are excellent, but also young and energetic, and they value "honor" and "dignity" the most... How easy is it to ask such a group to swallow such a breath?
To be honest, the current chairman is under a lot of pressure. Even though the "exploder" has been arrested, the emotions of the majority of the discipline committee members have not been appeased.

To say something that is not so in line with the "Discipline Committee Code", in fact, most of the Disciplinary Committee members are not satisfied with the move of handing over the "explosive demon" to the guard force.

They all knew that the security guards were always tolerant of minors, even juvenile offenders.

Absolute tolerance towards students. As long as they don't make serious mistakes, everything can be forgiven and tolerated - this is also the overall characteristic of Academy City.

Although generally speaking, this unspoken rule is beneficial to the majority of students and citizens; especially for those with high-level abilities.

The discipline committee members themselves are actually one of the biggest beneficiaries of this unspoken rule.

But on the other hand, this unspoken rule can sometimes be very annoying, like now!
