A Scientific Urban Detective

As if setting a flag, Lin Wuming's words were barely out when they were attacked from directly above—the staircase above them suddenly collapsed. Large chunks of flooring, bricks, and other debris rained down.

Being on an incline, Lin Wuming was looking up, watching the scene unfold helplessly.

The moment the collapse occurred, he felt the flow of time around him slow down—a deadly crisis had once again activated his "bullet time" state.

Lin Wuming's spirit lifted. With no time to be afraid, his Nen ability rampaged wildly.

His Nen ability had a clear weakness—limited output, capable of affecting a maximum of about five hundred kilograms of mass at a time. However, the debris falling on him far exceeded this weight.

But Lin Wuming didn't panic. Under the effects of "bullet time," the world appeared to him in super slow motion, at two-thousandth of its normal speed, giving him ample time to do more with his limited resources.

—He just needed to ensure that each piece of debris weighed less than five hundred kilograms.

Lin Wuming began to use his Nen to deflect the falling rubble.

Beside him, Tsubame Hachimitsu reacted quickly, thrusting her sword upwards.

Her attack was indeed lightning fast—to Lin Wuming, her attack speed was like an ordinary person swinging a sword, not fast, but not slow either.

But keep in mind that Lin Wuming was currently in "bullet time," where his subjective time flow was two-thousandth of normal!

This even made Lin Wuming suspect that Tsubame Hachimitsu's superpower wasn't a Level 4 "Absolute Piercing," but a self-accelerating "Instant."

However, a closer look revealed that Tsubame Hachimitsu's body was also almost "frozen" in place, with only her wrist and fingertips moving—controlling the ribbon-formed rapier with minute movements, unleashing a series of fierce thrusts.

Thus, Lin Wuming watched as Tsubame Hachimitsu shattered a suitcase-sized slab of flooring into dust with a flurry of strikes!

—If this girl's target wasn't reinforced concrete, but a human body…

While marveling at this, Lin Wuming used his Nen to deflect all falling objects that could threaten them.

Then, the attackers revealed themselves.

Above the stairwell, at about the third-floor level, the heads of a young man and a young woman were peering down.

An expression of disbelief had just appeared in their eyes, seemingly surprised that their attack had been thwarted.

Lin Wuming didn't recognize the two, but in this situation, it was obvious that they were the enemies attacking him.

In that case, there was no need to think further—retaliate!

Lin Wuming randomly picked up a few fist-sized chunks of brick and threw them at the two above.

With the deadly crisis averted, Lin Wuming exited "bullet time," and the flow of time in his eyes instantly returned to normal.

He heard several whooshing sounds, and even Lin Wuming himself couldn't see the trajectory of the bricks he threw.

Then, a series of impacts blended together, the bricks shattered into dust, and fell like rain.

As a Nen user, Lin Wuming immediately realized—they had hit the enemy's Nen barrier!

"Nen user! Yobou Banka!" Lin Wuming immediately identified the boy upstairs.

Tsubame Hachimitsu let out a soft cry, the ribbons wrapped around her palm loosened, and the black rapier extended, reaching upwards!

Immediately after, two exclamations came from above.

Lin Wuming confirmed again—the Nen barrier couldn't stop Tsubame Hachimitsu's "Absolute Piercing"; not just his own, but not even a Level 4 Nen barrier.

"Well done!" Lin Wuming cheered loudly.

Then, he hesitated—should they retreat or press on? At this moment, the enemies were high above, occupying the high ground, and they were clearly prepared for an ambush, so it was hard to guarantee that there were no other traps.

Pursuing them was definitely risky…

But Tsubame Hachimitsu was much more decisive.

"Wuming, send me up!"

"Quick!" the girl snapped.

Lin Wuming immediately activated his Nen, lifting the girl's body and sending her upstairs.

At the same time, the enemy girl—Gokui Umi—actually jumped down from above, rushing towards Tsubame Hachimitsu!

However, her falling speed wasn't fast, not a free fall. Obviously, like Tsubame Hachimitsu, she was also using Nen to assist her.

The two girls met in a narrow encounter in mid-air.

This should have been a situation that was absolutely favorable to Tsubame Hachimitsu—she only needed to thrust her sword once to end the battle.

But Tsubame Hachimitsu seemed to be in a daze, and didn't move for a long time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gokui Umi boldly approached and hugged Tsubame Hachimitsu's waist; then, a huge lateral thrust suddenly appeared, forcibly breaking through Lin Wuming's Nen and pushing Tsubame Hachimitsu towards the second-floor platform.

This was Yobou Banka's Level 4 Nen ability!

His Nen output was measured in tons, which Lin Wuming couldn't contend with.

Coupled with Gokui Umi's cooperation, the two of them pushed Tsubame Hachimitsu out of the second-floor stairwell.

Immediately after, Yobou Banka activated his Nen again, destroying the stairwell shaft and sealing off the path to the second floor.

The opponent was indeed a more experienced and skilled Nen user than him. Without the "bullet time" boost, Lin Wuming was almost unable to fight him in all aspects!

In a flash, their strongest combatant—Tsubame Hachimitsu—had been separated from the battlefield by the enemy.

The current situation was that the original two-on-two fight had been split into two battlefields—Lin Wuming and Yobou Banka, two Nen users, were one group, and Tsubame Hachimitsu and Gokui Umi, two girls, were the other.

Lin Wuming wasn't particularly worried about Tsubame Hachimitsu's side—if they really fought seriously, that girl was much stronger than him! Her "Absolute Piercing" was so sharp that her opponents would definitely not have a good time!

Although Gokui Umi's "Psychological Ruler" was also a very troublesome superpower, it could only protect herself at best, and it would be difficult to harm Tsubame Hachimitsu.

On the other hand, his side… was going to be a difficult battle!

A higher-level user of the same type of superpower, Yobou Banka was a Level 4 Nen user, and the combat power of the "School," second only to Kakine Teitoku.

This was probably the strongest opponent Lin Wuming had encountered since his transmigration!

From the previous contest, it was not difficult to see that Yobou Banka was indeed a much stronger Nen user than him. If he didn't have "bullet time" to fall back on, Lin Wuming probably wouldn't have been confident in facing such a powerful enemy.

But now…

Lin Wuming took out the small steel balls from the storage box on the armrest of his wheelchair—he was just afraid that you wouldn't be able to kill him!
