A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 504 The So-called "Test"

Shortly after the assassination attempt on Lin Wuming was thwarted, the security forces quickly took over the scene and searched the four "victims", and indeed found camouflaged weapons specifically used for assassination.

In this way, their identity as "killers" is irrefutable.

"So, who exactly wants to assassinate me?" Lin Wuming asked puzzledly.

After dinner, the three of them were playing games and chatting together on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Wuming took the opportunity to inquire about the news.

"The mission posted on the anonymous website seems to have a very high reward," said Yomikawa Aiho, "As for who is behind this, we can't find out."

"Can't find it?" Lin Wuming thought for a moment, "Should I hire a few highly skilled hackers..."

"That's not the problem," Yomikawa Aiho shook her head. "It's a 'truly anonymous' employer. After investigation, we found that the person who posted the task was a temporary account. Other than that, we can't find any other information."

"How could we not find it?" Lin Wuming was unconvinced. "As long as we have patience, we can always..."

"Unfortunately, we're short on time right now," Yomikawa Aiho said coldly. "That mission was posted so widely, it must have been seen by many people. Our top priority right now is to protect you, and then track down that anonymous account."

"So, is it the remnant of Director Sherbin's forces?" Lin Wuming asked.

"No, that Sherbin guy didn't leave behind any real legacy." Yomikawa Aiho shook her head. "But—the title of 'General Director' is probably a good guess."

Although there is no clear evidence, professionals from the security force have assessed that the current wave of assassinations against Lin Wuming was orchestrated by the "General Directors"!

Director Sherbin once said before his death: "I'm not the only one who doesn't want those little girls to become directors."

This statement is actually not wrong. Among the twelve general directors, Director Sherbin is not the only one who does not want to see a new person take office.

However, no one else was as anxious as Director Sherbin.

In addition, the success rate of becoming a director through the "Yongdai Jijun" channel is too low, and it is not worth wasting too much time to pay attention to it.

Therefore, only Director Sherbin, whose position is the most unstable, would specifically go out of his way to stop "Eternal Princess".

But now, unlike the "Eternal Princess" who has too many uncertainties, the "Nameless Director" has become an imminent threat!

Feeling the pressure, the governing directors will naturally take some action.

At their level, they don’t need to do many things themselves, and they don’t even need to give orders.

The people below will naturally try to figure out the intentions of their superiors and then take action.

The round of assassinations that Lin Wuming faced roughly fell into this category.

—Some of the governing council members were displeased with his sudden rise, and more than one; so their subordinates took action on their own initiative.

Because they are the top executives in charge of the entire Academy City, their will will receive the fastest and most perfect response.

Moreover, it was done in an "official" name, so it was impossible for the security forces to find out the specific identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Based on experience, they could only conclude that the mastermind behind this was directly related to the "Overall Director." "Another Overall Director..." Hufeng Toumi frowned, "Same as Sherbin from before?"

"Director Sherbin is probably the one ranked last among the twelve, right?" Lin Wuming said.

"The weakest one," Tiger Bee Toumi said thoughtfully, "So, this time the enemy is a bit troublesome."

"Don't arbitrarily label the Coordinating Director as an enemy..." Lin Wuming said with a wry smile, "I don't want to start a war with those directors again."

"The only person in this city who can say something like that," Yomikawa Aiho sighed, "is probably Wuming?"

Although he seemed to be showing weakness, the subtext in his words was full of confidence, as if he would not be afraid even if a war really broke out.

"Don't worry," said Yomikawa Aiho, "our guards will protect you. As long as you can hold on for a while, once they recognize you, they will probably give up the assassination attempt."

Everything has a price. As long as Lin Wuming demonstrates his strength and influence and survives this wave of assassinations, the other party will give up the assassination even if it is just for cost considerations.

Lin Wuming nodded, he was very clear about this principle.

Although Lin Wuming is now a "suspected level 5", he is not a true level 5 after all. Therefore, the high and mighty Governing Council would not pay much attention to him before this, and they have no clear idea of ​​his actual strength.

After all, in Academy City, there are actually quite a few people with powerful abilities "comparable to level 5".

After all, Lin Wuming is just a level 3 strong ability user and is not worthy of special attention.

Previously, Lin Wuming's reputation was mainly circulated among students and researchers. Now it is the ruling class's turn, and of course they need to re-recognize his strength.

Therefore, this round of assassinations can be regarded as an assessment of Lin Wuming by the "General Director" class. After passing it, he can be recognized and truly become a member of that class.

In the following days, Lin Wuming stayed at home, rarely going out, and except for his regular speeches, he tried to reduce unnecessary outings as much as possible. He was always accompanied by a security guard when he went out...

Of course, Lin Wuming was not a person who liked to wander around, so his life was not seriously affected.

Moreover, according to Huang Quanchuan Aihui, the guards accompanying Lin Wuming on his trip were not so much protecting his personal safety as giving people the feeling that they were trying to stop Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi's "excessive defense" in time - it could almost be said that they were trying to save the lives of those killers.

Later, the killers also realized this. The target's bodyguards were actually trying to protect the killers' lives... For the killers, this was not just a shame and humiliation, but also showed that the target was very powerful and there was no point in continuing the assassination.

After all, no matter how high the bounty is, it is meaningless if you can't get it.

After a week of assassination activities, Lin Wuming seemed to have passed the "test"...

Coincidentally, the demonstration incident was finally resolved successfully, and all the blue-collar workers were disbanded and returned to their original production and life.

Of course, there was no need for Lin Wuming to continue participating in those boring speaking events.

It happened to be the weekend, and Lin Wuming felt that he finally had the chance to spend a comfortable weekend.

However, early on Saturday morning, Lin Wuming was called out by a phone call.
