A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 273 Task Assignment
The "Underground Arena" is an unregulated and bloody death match. There will be only one final champion in each season, and usually only one survivor... The others will die tragically on the field. It can be said that the elimination rate is extremely high, with only one in a hundred.

Normally, it would be impossible for so many desperadoes to voluntarily participate in such a competition. Therefore, the organizers offered a sky-high bounty of up to tens of billions to attract competitors.

People who owe huge amounts of high-interest loans are natural potential competitors.

As a studio specializing in lending, it is actually not difficult to find a group of "competitors" who owe huge debts and are relatively capable in fighting.

This is the role that Kurozuma Mianliu found.

Of course, it is conceivable that their negotiations were not pleasant. After all, even the president escaped overnight and disappeared.

Kurozuma Watari appears to be very calm and composed on the surface, but when he thinks of the missing president, he can't help but feel angry - according to the investigation, his missing companion also showed signs of borrowing money from this studio.

Therefore, he was a little rough when "consulting" for intelligence yesterday... But there was no need to say such things in front of the two discipline committee members.

Lin Wuming said, "In that case, let's share what we have and exchange the information we each have."

If it is indeed as Kurozuma Mianliu said, it means that the intelligence they have already obtained is still insufficient. If they act rashly, they might really alert the enemy and cause their efforts to fail.

"Then come with me." Heizuma Mianliu pointed with his backhand.

"where to?"

"Of course, we should visit that financial studio." Kurozuma Mianliu said with a smile, "Let their second-in-command personally take us to the underground arena."

"Are you going to break into the competition venue yourself too?" Lin Wuming guessed the other party's intention.

"Yes, my companion is in danger now, so of course I, as the boss, have to go and rescue him personally." Hei Qi Mian Liu clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Also, it looks like you, Lin Wuming, are planning to go to that underground arena too?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I meant." Lin Wuming nodded.

"But, you..." Hei Qi Mian Liu's eyes swept over Lin Wuming's legs, and then she smiled again, "Forget it, you should be familiar with this situation anyway."

Anyone who has heard of Lin Wuming's deeds would not think that sitting in a wheelchair would cause him any inconvenience.

Kurozuma Mianru told her plan.

Because there are too few players who actively sign up for this season, even if the competitors who were kidnapped or abducted in advance are included, the number of players is still a bit tight.

Therefore, the role of "agents" is highlighted at this time. Even if there is no prior notification, as long as the "competitor" can be sent to the underground fighting arena through the right means, the organizer will accept him.

This is exactly how Kurozuma Mianliu planned to disguise himself as a competitor and blend in.

Moreover, in his plan, he had originally intended to bring Lin Wuming in as well, so that the two of them could "participate" together.

But now it seems that although Lin Wuming can fight well in a wheelchair, it is unlikely that he can sneak into the venue to participate in the competition - this look is too eye-catching and it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to worry." Lin Wuming patted the wheelchair and stood up. "Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not something that can't be overcome."

As he spoke, he took two steps with a normal posture, and there was nothing strange about him.

Kurozuma Mianliu also guessed that this was the effect of her Nen ability and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Perfect! This will be fine! How long can you maintain this state?"

Lin Wuming said: "If I just walk, I can walk all day long."

Heizuma Mianliu insisted on fulfilling his promise and treated everyone to breakfast before taking Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi to the so-called private financial studio.

Because they learned from Lin Wuming that the game time is tonight, so they now have plenty of time and don’t need to be so anxious.

According to the original plan, the private financial studio has prepared several "competitors", and their president will bring them with him when he goes to watch the game tonight. If the number of participants is insufficient, they can be filled in as substitutes at any time.

But since the president suddenly ran away, the matter of the contestants was left unresolved...

"But don't worry," Kurozuma Mianliu patted the studio's second-in-command on the shoulder with his large hand, "Look, don't we already have two backup competitors?"

The second-in-command, who was forced to stay, was sweating profusely. He forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "I, I understand. I will cooperate."

"Very good," Kurozuma Mianliu patted his shoulder again, "Don't be afraid, I haven't laid a hand on you. Anyway, give me the information of the participants who were originally planning to participate. We also need to dress up a little."

Unsure whether the escaped president had reported the matter to the organizers, Kurozuma Wataru decided to disguise himself as a competitor to infiltrate the underground arena. However, due to his large build, Kurozuma Wataru couldn't find a suitable replacement, so he simply chose the tallest man, put on a beard, and sunglasses, and that was it.

Then he picked someone who was similar in height and build to Lin Wuming: "Lin, you play this person."

"This..." The second in command hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"This identity cannot be used," the second-in-command replied, "This... is already taken."

"Huh? Is this guy so short of money?" Heizuma Mianliu asked in surprise.

Originally, these selected "competitors" were forced to participate in the competition. They were coerced and bribed by the former president and threatened with debt, so they had to choose to participate in the competition and risk their lives.

Now that the president has run away, no one is urging or forcing them, so of course they won't be stupid enough to run and fall into the trap.

Unless one is really desperate to get the 10 billion bonus, one will take the risk.

Although there are not many people like this, they do exist occasionally.

Regarding this, Heizuma Mianliu didn't have much to say, he just hoped that person wouldn't interfere with their plan. If the operation went smoothly tonight, then it would be considered saving this guy's life.

Lin Wuming also chose a fatter person as his disguise.

"What about me?" Seeing that the two boys had finished disguising themselves, Hufeng Toumi couldn't help but ask.

"It seems there are no female competitors this time." said Kurozuma Mianliu.

It is rare for women to participate in such a death match; moreover, Kurozuma Watari does not want girls to be involved in such a dangerous action.

Even if a fight actually came up, Hufeng Toumi, the youngest girl, would probably be the best fighter among the three of them...

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Kurozuma Mianliu was actually a rather conservative male chauvinist at heart. It had nothing to do with strength, but he instinctively opposed letting girls do dangerous things.

In this incident, the conflict and dispute between him and Gufa Meiwei was mainly due to this point.

By the way, Lin Wuming also has the same attitude - not allowing the tiger bees to penetrate the honey and enter the "underground arena".

However, Lin Wuming's reason wasn't entirely out of concern for the girls. He was afraid that the tiger bee would get in through the honey and start a massacre.

You know, among the competitors, not all of them are unforgivable sinners. In fact, the vast majority of them have no guilt - except debt and greed.

Among them, there are companions of Kurozuma Mianliu who need to be rescued.

The bee's movements are always faster than the brain's thinking. It would be bad if it accidentally hurts an innocent person...

"Also," Lin Wuming knew that the above reasons would not convince Tiger Bee to reveal the honey—even he himself couldn't convince himself. "This mission isn't too difficult. I want to try and see what I can do without you, Tiger Bee."

"Huh?" Tiger Bee Toumi was very surprised by this answer.

"Think carefully, during all the past events and adventures, Tiger Bee, you were always by my side. Although we occasionally acted separately, we were always in the same area and in the same event." Lin Wuming said, "There is no doubt that you have become my most trustworthy partner. So..."

"So you want to get rid of me and take risks on your own?" Tiger Bee Toumi asked back.

"I have to give it a try and see if I can handle all kinds of difficulties on my own..." Lin Wuming said, "As I said, this case isn't too difficult, so it's a good opportunity to give it a try."

"This... is a reason I've never heard of before." Tiger Bee Toumi said, "Since Wuming said so..."

Lin Wuming added, "Actually, I have something I want to ask of you—off-field support and guiding the reinforcements from the Discipline Committee. I'm relying on you."

In other words, under the "bewitching" of Hei Qi Mian Liu, Lin Wuming also decided to be "generous".

From the original plan, a symbolic "big fuss" turned into a real challenge to kick out the opponent.

Lin Wuming wanted to rely on his own strength - at most with the help of Heizuma Mianliu - to turn the "underground arena" upside down!
The reasons he just gave were not just to fool the tiger bees, but he really meant it.
