A Scientific Urban Detective

"Explosion Magician" Metokoba Kama—how many "high-pressure vessel" bombs can she actually make?

Lin Wuming wondered inwardly.

These soda can-sized "bombs" already at his feet couldn't be dealt with by detonating them in advance—they were too close!

In haste, Lin Wuming only had time to raise a psychic barrier, but he didn't have high expectations for this hastily constructed defense.

Fortunately, however, he didn't enter "bullet time" this time—which meant it wasn't a fatal crisis.

Of course, even worse, Lin Wuming also discovered a flaw in "bullet time," which was that this golden finger could only help him escape death, but not prevent him from getting hurt.

It was a case of "death can be avoided, but suffering cannot be escaped."

Strictly speaking, even "death" must be avoided through one's own efforts, which is really inconvenient…

This time, it might just be the enemy's unintentional act, creating a bunch of crippling but not fatal attacks, successfully exploiting the bug in "bullet time," but in the future, someone might actually use this bug against him!

Lin Wuming wasn't naive enough to think that his "bullet time" would never be discovered.

—He had to find a way to fix this flaw!

However, before considering those things, the most important thing was to deal with the current predicament…

The power of the explosion wasn't enough to be fatal, so Lin Wuming stood in front of Hu Feng Toumi, raised a psychic barrier, and prepared to take the hit head-on.

Just then, very suddenly, a figure appeared next to Lin Wuming.

In the literal sense of "suddenly appearing."

According to the feedback from the psychic radar deployed around him, until just now, there was no third person here besides himself and Hu Feng Toumi.

But in the blink of an eye, it actually…

"Space manipulator?" Lin Wuming thought inwardly; only space manipulation could do something like this, right?

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Wuming saw this suddenly appearing figure adopt an exaggerated stance, firmly planting his feet, and throwing a straight punch forward.

"Strong Fist!" The boy shouted, exhaling, and accompanied by a shout, the air in front of him roared, and was actually compressed into an almost substantial state.

The high-pressure air mass from the explosion was also directly smashed by this punch, turning into a gust of wind blowing forward…

Crisis averted!

"Move Point Cannon!" Lin Wuming immediately guessed his identity.

Academy City's theoretically strongest psychic, the seventh-ranked Level 5, "Move Point Cannon" Gunha Sogiita!

Of course, strictly speaking, Gunha Sogiita is a "Gemstone" ability user with an unknown principle. His superpower can't be considered a "psychic," but because it's impossible to classify, it's categorized into the broad category of "psychic abilities" due to its similar form of expression.

This guy's superpower is unpredictable, and it can even be said to be not "scientific" at all, but rather quite idealistic. If it's him, then suddenly appearing as if by teleportation can be understood.

Although he didn't know why Gunha Sogiita suddenly appeared, he had helped him a lot, and Lin Wuming was very grateful to him.

Before Lin Wuming could thank Gunha Sogiita, he saw a window on the third floor next to him being smashed, and a figure jumped out of the window.

Without hesitation, Lin Wuming used his psychic ability to grab at the figure.

Pa pa!

Only a few explosions were heard, and Lin Wuming felt his psychic ability being bounced away.

Because it was coordinated with Lin Wuming's offensive, Hu Feng Toumi's rapier also missed, only hitting a denim jacket.

The figure landed, without slowing down at all, and rushed straight towards them.

Gunha Sogiita shouted, "Good!"

He threw another unadorned straight punch.

The attacker was also highly skilled and bold, not dodging or evading, and also threw a palm to meet it.

"Be careful!" Lin Wuming quickly reminded, while pulling Hu Feng Toumi back.

The attacker—that is, the "Explosion Magician"—wasn't fighting barehanded; in her palm, she was holding a small sphere.

It looked like a paper ball folded from paper.

But under the "Explosion Magician's" ability, as long as it's a container, it can become the most dangerous bomb.

Boom!

The power of this explosion even exceeded Gunha Sogiita's expectations. He wasn't injured, but he was blown away by the oncoming blast wave.

"Hmph!" This time, Hu Feng Toumi's rapier accurately hit the target.

But unfortunately, the opponent reacted very quickly, dodging to avoid vital points in time, only a wound was cut on her shoulder.

The "Explosion Magician" grunted, not giving Hu Feng Toumi a chance to continue attacking, and waved her hand to scatter a handful of mini capsule bottles.

Seeing this, Lin Wuming immediately used his psychic ability to bounce away these capsule-sized containers.

After a burst of firecracker-like explosions, the "Explosion Magician" had taken the opportunity to escape into the distance.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Lin Wuming was about to chase after her, but suddenly his hair stood on end, and he felt a burst of unease.

Without time to think, he quickly used a psychic barrier to block his body.

This wasn't "bullet time," but it was a sense of crisis from his body's instinct.

—Not fatal, but enough to injure him.

Boom!

The ground under his feet suddenly exploded, and even with the psychic barrier blocking it, he was still broken through by the strong airflow.

Lin Wuming only felt as if his legs had been hit hard by a hammer, and his whole body was lifted up a bit by the shock wave.

—He didn't see any "containers"!

Lin Wuming then realized that the "Explosion Magician's" ability didn't necessarily require a physical container. This was probably her trump card.

"Metokoba Kama!" Lin Wuming shouted loudly.

The figure in front paused almost imperceptibly, then plunged into the shopping mall.

"Damn it, she got away! She really has no backbone!" Gunha Sogiita didn't know when, but he came to Lin Wuming's side.

He looked very frustrated, and slammed his fist hard on his head, making a crisp "dong" sound.

"Wuming, do you want to continue chasing?" Hu Feng Toumi asked.

"Forget it, the other party has burrowed into the crowd, and we may not be able to find her." Lin Wuming shook his head and stood still, "It would be troublesome if we pushed her too hard and she wreaked havoc in the crowd."

"At least, we have confirmed her identity and general ability information," Lin Wuming looked at the ribbon in Hu Feng Toumi's hand again, "and her DNA information."

The identity of the culprit has been confirmed, and all that remains is to find her and catch her.

In Lin Wuming's opinion, as long as the target isn't a Level 5, it shouldn't be difficult for the security force to locate and catch a culprit.

"It's a pity, but the other party uses explosive attacks, and it's true that we can't fight her in crowded places." Gunha Sogiita also agreed, "It's rare to fight alongside you, a hero, but we failed to catch the bad guy, it's really embarrassing!"

Although Gunha Sogiita kept blaming himself, Lin Wuming always felt that he was teasing him.
