A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 338 You Go and Deal with It

Just as Kihara Suta revealed to Amei Akai not long ago, the plan against Accelerator had been underway for a long time.

It was still due to that reason. Because of Aoi Ao's recent desperate all-in behavior, the "mass production type ability user" plan collapsed earlier than expected, so Kihara Suto had to take over the project team in advance to maintain the situation, which resulted in a lot of preliminary preparations not being completed.

Among the tasks that Kihara Suta assigned to Amagi Aoi, the most important one was to track and observe Accelerator's status and evaluate when the next plan could be officially carried out.

Not long ago, Tian Jing Yaxiong handed this task over to his trusted assistant.

And now, the trusted assistant responded that there was a deviation in the plan.

"From what I've observed, Accelerator doesn't seem to be mentally worn down or in a state of instability," said his trusted assistant. "Although some challengers have stepped forward to challenge him, he's ignored them all. With his vector manipulation, those challengers can't even get close to him, let alone challenge him."

The prerequisite for challenging Accelerator and wearing down his spirit is that Accelerator must respond to these challenges.

Even if the challengers are all ants, dealing with them still requires energy, especially without causing any casualties.

However, once Accelerator figures it out and decides to ignore these challengers, they won't even be considered "ants".

In front of level 5's "vector operations", they simply "do not exist".

Accelerator, who was in this posture, naturally did not suffer from any mental wear and tear.

"This is different from what Kihara agreed to!" Amagi Yaxiong shouted immediately, "There must be something wrong!"

He hurriedly asked for details and regretted not going there to investigate in person.

"I took a video." The trusted assistant was very meticulous in his work; or perhaps he was worried that he would be punished for failing to complete the task, so he made extra preparations in advance.

The video itself is nothing interesting. It's just a scene where a bunch of bad boys yell at Accelerator, then rush up in a crowd, and then get bounced away and lie on the ground groaning and wailing.

The whole process takes less than a minute.

"The same thing happened four times," the confidant added. "I only had time to film the last one, so I think the plan went awry."

Tian Jing Yaxiong stared at the video content with a serious expression.

The first task assigned by the new boss was messed up...

That's the pervert of the Kihara clan!

"Accelerator..." Amagi suddenly noticed something, "Is that an armband on his arm?"

After pausing and zooming in, the words "Number One in the World" written in black on a white background on the armband came into view.

"what is this?"

"It's said that it's a badge awarded to Level 5s by Academy City to show their strength." The trusted assistant also did some research. "Accelerator is number one, so his armband says 'Number One in the World'."

"Academy City... when did this system come into being? What's the point of it?" Aoi Ao was confused. This armband seemed to only specifically indicate the ranking of Level 5. Other than that...

"It really doesn't mean anything more. But," the trusted assistant recalled what he had observed today, "Accelerator seems to like this armband and the title of 'Number One in the World' very much, and..."

"And what?"

"Accelerator seems to have used this as an excuse to reject those challenges and ignore all challengers."

"Huh? Is that true?" "Yes," the trusted assistant nodded. "Accelerator's exact words—I didn't record them, but they are indeed what he said—you minions, if you want to challenge me, at least get the armband for second place first!"

The trusted assistant imitated in the most arrogant tone possible.

"What a mess, letting these trash challenge the second place...that 'Unreal Matter'? He actually came up with that!" Tian Jing Yaxiong complained.

Unlike Accelerator, who hadn't yet taken the plunge, Kakine Teito, the leader of the Anbu organization, was no good. If anyone was so foolish as to seek him out, they would likely end up with nothing left.

But after complaining, Amagi Ao frowned even more tightly - if Accelerator really maintained this attitude... wouldn't the experimental plan fall into a vicious circle?

——How can it be such a coincidence? I just accepted the new project and encountered such a weird situation. There must be someone trying to make things difficult for me!

Tian Jing Yaxiong gritted his teeth and said, "Who on earth came up with this idea? This is a plan aimed at us!"

"There are rumors," the trusted aide whispered, "but they're just rumors. It's said that that 'hero' proposed to the higher-ups the idea of ​​creating these ranking armbands."

"Hero? Lin Wuming?!" Tian Jing Yaxiong was shocked.

Absorbed in his research project, he wasn't interested in news from the outside world. However, he had a detailed understanding of the information regarding Lin Wuming.

After all... Tian Jing Yaxiong himself knows best whether the "mass production of ability users" plan they are doing is an illegal experiment.

During the time when the accident happened in the factory, Tian Jing Yaxiong was under a lot of pressure.

"How is he related to that guy? I just took over this project, it's impossible for him to react so quickly?" Tian Jing Yaxiong said nervously.

But he changed his mind and realized that Lin Wuming was taking action against Accelerator, and even if the person he was dealing with was Kihara Suta and not himself, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.

But now that I am in the same group as Kihara Suto, I can’t let my guard down!
"I think..." Seeing his president start to have wild thoughts, the trusted assistant couldn't help but say, "Lin Wuming shouldn't be targeting us."

"Hmm? Do you have any evidence?"

"Uh... that's just a rumor," the trusted assistant said, a little embarrassed. "It's said that these armbands are a backdoor that Lin Wuming left for himself. Inspired by the underground arena, he set these armbands to not consider ability level, but only strength."

"So what's the point?"

"He wants to be number one in the world," said his trusted assistant. "This isn't just a rumor, it's a fact. A week ago, a duel broke out between Accelerator and Lin Wuming. It was over the 'Number One in the World' armband."

"Since then, Accelerator has refused all challenges, citing his 'Number One in the World' armband as an excuse."

"Lin Wuming, this guy is really haunting us!" Tian Jing Yaxiong exclaimed.

Tian Jing Yaxiong felt relieved when he knew that Lin Wuming was not targeting him, but the problem objectively existed and had to be solved eventually.

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just a level 3," Amagi Ao said disdainfully, "Why would he compete with a level 5 like Accelerator for first place? That's just nonsense!"

"Yes, President, you are right!"

Tian Jing Yaxiong nodded and said to his confidant, "You, find a way to deal with it. Make that guy give up this unrealistic idea and cancel this damn armband system!"

"what?"

The trusted assistant left the lab with a puzzled look on his face – what does “find a way to deal with it” mean? Is this something I can handle casually?
