A Scientific Urban Detective

“Forget about them for now, it doesn't matter if that guy behind us is the hero or not, we need to figure something out!” Hamazura Shiage shouted, slamming on the gas pedal.

In this narrow and cramped terrain, he had already pushed the car's speed to its limit. Even with Hamazura Shiage's driving skills, there was no way to accelerate further.

Hattori Hanzō was also in a dilemma, he didn't have any good way to effectively stop the opponent's pursuit.

Even 'fighting,' the ultimate solution, had already been tried, and the best-case scenario was a 'stalemate.'

But the problem was, they weren't here to duel, so what if they won?

The most important thing now was to escape! If they didn't want to be caught by the security forces, they couldn't waste time on meaningless battles.

Hamazura Shiage was also well aware of this, which was why he was able to quickly calm down, not be blinded by hot-bloodedness, and refuse to disengage from the fight.

“Hamazura, just drive,” Hattori Hanzō said, narrowing his eyes as he carefully observed Lin Wuming, “I'll figure something out.”

For some reason, Hattori Hanzō had a strange feeling—that Lin Wuming didn't seem to be going full speed when he was chasing them.

After chasing to a certain distance, he didn't continue to close in, maintaining the same speed as the sports car.

——Is he wary of my shuriken?

Hattori Hanzō guessed in his heart.

——But after the fight just now, Lin Wuming should also know that the power of my shuriken is actually limited, as long as he puts up a telekinetic barrier, he can easily block all attacks.

——And the only truly threatening ninja tool is the short arrow hidden in my sleeve. But the number of those is limited, and even with Lin Wuming's telekinesis, he might be able to defend against them if he's serious.

——On the other hand, we can't block his terrifying attack from just now at all…

But no matter what, it was true that the other side wasn't in a hurry to start a fight. Since that was the case, Hattori Hanzō was happy to maintain this tacit understanding.

On the other side, Komaba Ritto also keenly noticed this.

“Wuming, why aren't you chasing after them!”

“We're already going very fast,” Lin Wuming explained, “I have to devote most of my attention to avoiding traffic accidents. So, this speed is already the limit.”

Lin Wuming wasn't lying, their speed had indeed reached a limit—unless Lin Wuming's telekinetic ability was upgraded to level 4, it would be difficult to have any qualitative improvement.

If it was just Lin Wuming flying alone, he could indeed go faster; but because he was carrying Komaba Ritto, he was spending a lot of energy to prevent her from being thrown off at high speed.

“Don't rush,” Lin Wuming patiently advised, “Just maintain this distance and continue chasing. They're thieves, and we're the police, so chasing them like this is naturally more advantageous to us.”

Having been out of combat for a long time, Komaba Ritto also exited her 'combat state' and became more receptive to what others said.

“Okay,” the girl nodded, “Just don't let them get away.”

As she spoke, Komaba Ritto picked up a shuriken she had found and cut her uneven hair flat in one go. This also served as a way to replenish 'ammunition' for the upcoming battle.

“What a pity,” Lin Wuming said.

Komaba Ritto's blonde hair was actually very beautiful, even if she didn't deliberately dress up, it was still difficult to hide her natural beauty.

Komaba Ritto herself didn't care much about it, she kept her hair this long so she could use it as a combat weapon in situations like this.

For Komaba Ritto, the length of her hair only needed to be enough to cover the scar on her right face.

However, after hearing Lin Wuming's regret, Komaba Ritto thoughtfully stroked her hair: “I'll find a way to prepare some spare weapons.”

Actually, Komaba Ritto had also been overwhelmed by the chaotic battle situation today. Usually, her belt buckle contained single-digit steel needles.

With the addition of 'absolute penetration,' these ammunition reserves were actually enough.

After all, one steel needle could take down an enemy, unless a large-scale war broke out, this ammunition would be enough to end a battle.

But she didn't expect to encounter an enemy who could dodge her attacks today!

——That boy just now was definitely not a normal person, because dodging my flying needles was no easier than dodging bullets at close range.

Even the most seasoned warriors rarely had the skill to do that.

“Just who is that guy?” Komaba Ritto couldn't help but ask.

“Although they can't make progress in terms of superpowers, they reach the pinnacle in other fields—there are characters of this type too,” Lin Wuming said, “That guy might be a ninja, look at the shuriken he uses…”

Just as the two of them were following the pink sports car not too closely, this narrow and cramped alley finally came to an end.

Komaba Ritto perked up: “The exit is ahead, be careful not to let them escape!”

The latest and most complete novels are at 6⊥9⊥book⊥吧⊥⊥first⊥release!

At the same time, Hamazura Shiage also became excited: “The exit is ahead, I'm going to shake them off in one go! Everyone hold on tight!”

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw a heavy truck rushing out of the alley exit.

The huge tires, nearly as tall as a person, directly crushed the front of the sports car into a flat surface!

In the face of this sudden change, Komaba Ritto and Hattori Hanzō reacted quickly, simultaneously grabbing Hamazura Shiage by the collar and pulling him out of the car with them.

Hamazura Shiage was stunned by this sudden accident, allowing his two companions to save him.

The airbags popped out almost touching his face, he felt like he had been hit in the tip of the nose by a weak punch.

The slight pain brought Hamazura Shiage back to his senses.

“Eh?!!!!!” He screamed, “What? Help! This is attempted murder, this heavy truck!”

“It's not murder!” Yomikawa Aiho leaned out of the heavy truck's window, carrying a single-soldier rocket launcher similar to an RPG on her shoulder, “Don't worry, I won't hurt you…”

As she said this, she pulled the trigger.

With a 'poof' sound, high-pressure gas launched the ammunition from the launcher.

This special 'shell' split open in the air, unfolding a ten-meter square net, almost completely blocking the alley, and covering the three of them in one fell swoop!

This net was a capture tool specially equipped by the security forces, and with the high-tech support of Academy City, it was endowed with extremely strong physical properties.

Even Komaba Ritto, with his natural superhuman strength, couldn't tear open this net for a while; the small knife carried by Hattori Hanzō couldn't cut through this special material that resembled a rubber tire.

Even better, this net was also attached with some kind of sticky liquid, the three people caught in the net were like prey caught in a spider web, the more they struggled, the more they were stuck.

In just a few short seconds, by the time the three of them reacted and knew they couldn't struggle so randomly, they had already been bundled into a large ball by this net.
