A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 323 Duel, VS Accelerator!

Lin Wuming told Misaka Mikoto all the information he knew about "atomic collapse"; as for more information, unfortunately, Lin Wuming was unable to provide it, even though he was a time traveler.

After all, the time traveler is just someone who has read the original work and knows some of the plot, but he is not a physicist.

In terms of understanding of "electrons" and electromagnetic force, Lin Wuming is probably not as good as the junior high school girls of Tokiwadai Junior High School, let alone the strongest electric shock user Misaka Mikoto, so he didn't say much and let Misaka Mikoto handle it herself.

After all, wrong intelligence is often worse than no intelligence.

After finishing the instructions and sending Misaka Mikoto away, Lin Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The mission is almost complete," Lin Wuming said. "It's time to meet Accelerator."

Although he had asked the chairman to investigate Sogiita Gunba's school information, it seemed that there would be no news for a while. Lin Wuming simply did not delay any longer and decided to send out the "Number One in the World" armband first.

On the last weekend of summer vacation, Lin Wuming arrived at an abandoned factory in the tenth school district as promised.

Accelerator had already been waiting here, his pale figure standing out even at noon on a hot summer day.

I made an appointment with Hufeng Toumi and asked her to wait nearby while I would be done "soon".

Then, Lin Wuming drove his wheelchair alone to the "battlefield".

"You finally came."

Lin Wuming thought for a moment and said, "I shouldn't have come."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Accelerator glared at him unkindly. "You still want to refuse after all this?"

"No, don't worry about it," Lin Wuming waved his hand quickly, "No one wants to fight a battle they can't win, right? But don't worry, I'm here to end this matter today, and I won't run away."

Accelerator was finally satisfied. "According to your request, there's no one nearby, and no facilities are in use. We can have a free-for-all."

"That's good," Lin Wuming nodded, "but before we start, please let me introduce this to you."

As he spoke, Lin Wuming took out the "Number One in the World" armband from the storage compartment on the armrest of the wheelchair and introduced the meaning and rules of the armband.

"…Take it. This is issued in the official name of Academy City," Lin Wuming handed the armband to Accelerator, "It's a recognition of your strength and status."

Accelerator didn't take it, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, what's the use of this."

"This is a crucial credential that anyone who wishes to replace you and become number one in the world must fight for," Lin Wuming said. "From now on, unless you are willing to challenge them yourself, only those holding the 'Second Fan' armband will be eligible to challenge you. You can now have a much quieter time."

"Heh, is there really anyone who would follow such rules?" Accelerator expressed his doubt.

"As long as you abide by the rules yourself," Lin Wuming said, "because you are the strongest, you can use the power of the rules. It will be fine to ignore or teach a lesson to those who don't follow the rules."

In other words, the entire game rules set by Lin Wuming were based on Accelerator's absolute strength. As long as he, the "number one in the world," continued to abide by the rules, then everyone else would be forced to follow them.

"That sounds like it makes sense." Accelerator nodded in agreement.

Accelerator is absolutely confident in his own strength, or rather, he would never admit that he is incompetent in front of Lin Wuming.

"In that case..." Lin Wuming, with a look of triumph, extended his hand again, signaling the other party to take the armband. Accelerator remained indifferent.

"?" Lin Wuming looked over in confusion.

"This should be the spoils of victory after the duel, right?" Accelerator said.

"No, no, no, this armband is different from the duel between you and me." Lin Wuming explained, "Don't worry, I will end this battle properly."

Accelerator grinned. "Lin Wuming, you just said you'd follow my rules! So, put away your armband. After I win, I'll naturally take the title of 'Number One in the World'!"

“…” Lin Wuming had a complicated expression. After thinking for a while, he put away the armband.

——Rounding it off, I am now the “best in the world”, so it’s not a loss.

Back off a little, create some distance, and prepare for battle.

Accelerator's expression gradually became serious.

Lin Wuming was a little worried, but he couldn't help but remind him, "Accelerator, don't forget, the outcome of this duel was determined from the beginning, so don't hold your hopes too high!"

"It's so annoying. Why are you, a hero, so fussy?" Accelerator said impatiently.

He no longer had any hope for this duel and even felt a little regretful.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wuming raised his right hand, holding a delicate and small pistol.

"Tsk, is this your fighting style?" Upon seeing this scene, Accelerator could no longer hide his disappointment, his expression full of sarcasm.

Lin Wuming had already been showing weakness and "surrendering" prematurely before the battle began, which was already very disappointing. Now he pulled out a pistol, ready to fight with the help of modern weapons...

Accelerator suddenly felt like he had misjudged the person and was extremely disappointed.

But just as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Wuming pointing the gun at his temple.

"Huh?" Accelerator exclaimed in surprise.

You wouldn't just commit suicide just because you can't win, right?

"Accelerator," Lin Wuming said as he prepared himself. "Although you probably don't need to, I'll still remind you—the battle has begun."

Pull the trigger and the bullet fires.

"Bullet Time" activated!
Lin Wuming caught a glimpse of the bullet flying "slowly" in the air from the corner of his eye, estimated the time, and then manipulated the small steel ball to use the "telekinesis acceleration cannon"!
Since the distance between him and Accelerator was very close at this time, there was not enough space for the small steel ball to fully accelerate.

There was no other way, so Lin Wuming had to control the small steel ball to circle around himself and accelerate a few times before blasting it towards Accelerator.

Even so, the power of this "telekinetic acceleration cannon" is still considerable.

But the result was not unexpected at all. When the blazing metal jet approached a certain position near Accelerator, it suddenly bounced back along the same path as if it were rewound.

No, it was not "returning along the original route", but it made a trajectory correction and aimed directly at the center of Lin Wuming's chest; moreover, the speed was even faster than before!
