A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 419 Suspected Level 5
The week-long investigation and revenge operation by Lin Wuming, Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki and others ended with the capture of the culprit Amagi Akai.

Although they all knew that the incident was far from over and that Tian Jing Yaxiong was just a scapegoat thrown out by the enemy, at this point, they could not continue to act recklessly for both public and private reasons.

Things like "revenge" are inherently in a gray area, and Lin Wuming's "revenge" is also wrapped in the guise of "tracking down illegal experimental institutions", plus the reputation he had accumulated before, it is barely acceptable; but if it goes too far, I'm afraid even the guards will not be able to sit idly by, right?

Besides, Lin Wuming himself still needed time to recover from his injuries and readjust to his body. If his body couldn't recover to the point where he could function normally, then it would be better for him to follow the advice of the Soul Chaser and get a full-body prosthesis...

In addition, after the last super acceleration, Lin Wuming felt that his "bullet time" seemed to have changed, and he really needed to adapt to it again.

But at the same time, he and Shokuhou Misaki became increasingly open about their investigation into the "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan."

Anyway, the truth has been revealed and Misaka Mikoto has been told, so there is naturally no need to be as cautious as before.

The existence of the Misaka sisters cannot be exposed - under the premise of adhering to this, both parties maintained the most basic tacit understanding and did not make a big deal out of it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the strength displayed by Lin Wuming is indeed strong enough to force the Unified Council and the Kihara clan to deal with it cautiously, so they want to maintain a tacit understanding.

There are two people who are clearly level 5, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, there is also a suspected level 5, Lin Wuming, plus a powerful group consisting of several level 4 and level 3.

It is no longer a matter of considering how to suppress and punish them, but rather worrying about how to prevent them from rebelling.

That's right, in the evaluations of various forces, the evaluation of Lin Wuming's superpowers is no longer the level 3 telekinesis user recorded in the library, but an ambiguous level of "suspected level 5".

The reason lies in the reports from hundreds of AIM diffusion field detection devices of different specifications and models in the Seventh District during the duel between Misaka Mikoto and Lin Wuming that day.

More than 5 sets of testing equipment that were in normal working condition that day were simultaneously subjected to unfamiliar interference fluctuations assessed as "Level " at a certain moment, so that all the experiments and test data in progress at that time were invalidated.

After investigation, it was confirmed that the phenomenon was caused by the "A Certain Scientific Railgun" Misaka Mikoto launching a large-scale lightning attack.

That was also the first time that Misaka Mikoto launched such a large-scale attack, so the relevant detection equipment was not specially shielded.

The relevant fluctuation parameters caused by the activation of super powers by several Level 5s before her have long been recorded and shielded through software algorithms, so as not to cause such large-scale interference.

This was a common practice - after all, every level 5 would cause a similar disturbance, and Academy City had developed a relatively complete set of countermeasures.

But the problem is that within one minute after the "A Certain Scientific Railgun" exploded, the second "Level 5 Intensity" fluctuation was detected.

Considering that the only one who was dueling with Misaka Mikoto at that time was Lin Wuming; and the fluctuations of the "atomic collapse" as a third-party attacker had already been recorded and filed, and would not cause interference. What's more, it was the driving armor and not Maito Shiori himself that issued the "atomic collapse" at that time... It is not difficult to conclude that the person who caused the second interference phenomenon was Lin Wuming himself!
Although there are many doubts and uncertainties, and Lin Wuming's ability level is even level 3 as endorsed by the "library" records, the data recorded by the testing equipment is also genuine and cannot be falsified.

At the very least, it is impossible that more than 700 sets of testing equipment located in different locations and institutions, which were performing different tasks at the time, came to the same wrong conclusion at the same time.

So, after learning about the duel between Lin Wuming and Misaka Mikoto that day, and that other colleagues' equipment had also obtained the same test results, in just less than a week, hundreds of different institutions and research groups rushed to submit their reports on the discovery of the "eighth level 5".

——In order to compete for the right to discover the "eighth level 5".

Although many institutions subsequently conducted various tests and investigations on Lin Wuming, both openly and covertly—a considerable portion of those tracking Lin Wuming's movements these days were actually from these research institutions—none of them noticed that Lin Wuming had once again displayed Level 5 qualifications. However, under the influence of public opinion, starting with the research institutions that submitted the reports, more and more people tacitly accepted Lin Wuming's "suspected Level 5" status...

The three level 5s joining forces are a very powerful force even in the entire Academy City!
This is also the reason why no one stepped forward to stop Lin Wuming and his team from conducting an almost unscrupulous investigation.

Of course, Academy City's Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, from another perspective, are just three level 5s, far from being "invincible."

To some people, Lin Wuming and his men are just "a little tricky" rather than invincible opponents.

Kihara Gensei was not surprised by Lin Wuming's evaluation of him as "suspected level 5". Although he was in the second school district and did not collect the fluctuation data of that day, with his ability, it was easy for him to get first-hand information.

Not to mention, he was the first person to see Lin Wuming's potential.

Although he thought Lin Wuming's level 3 ability was too low and not worth studying personally, Kihara Gensei never stopped collecting intelligence on Lin Wuming - he read through it as a pastime in his spare time.

If Lin Wuming really becomes level 5, his superpowers need to be studied, and Kihara Gensei will have the most comprehensive first-hand information in his hands.

Moreover, the other two people in that group - "A Certain Scientific Railgun" and "Psychological Mastery" - happen to be the objects of Kihara Gensei's focus and research!

If Kihara Sudo only needs to obtain the detailed ability parameters of level 5 to formulate a targeted plan to defeat them; then Kihara Gensei does have that information in his hands!
Kihara Gensei, who was in his own research institute, smiled with joy, like a fruit farmer seeing the ripe fruit in his orchard.

"Things are getting interesting now. You really can surprise me, Mr. Lin Wuming."

Kihara Gensei decided to add a research topic for himself - whether the "time-related" superpowers really exist.
