A Scientific Urban Detective

Ignoring his bizarre question, Sawtooth grabbed a chunk of broken brick and hurled it at Lin Wuming.

Under the effect of his 'Fulcrum Weapon' ability, the brick accelerated to break the sound barrier, creating a deafening boom.

However, the moment it was launched, the brick's speed began to decrease rapidly in an abnormal fashion.

Far from being supersonic, the brick slowed down visibly, like a bullet fired into water, and gradually turned into a cloud of dust mid-flight…

Behind the collapsed wall was another room, which appeared to be the arena's medical room based on the decor. But it was clear that the organizers had never actually used it for 'treatment,' instead using it more as a morgue for storing corpses.

The room reeked of strong disinfectant and an overpowering stench of decay.

Retreating into the room, Lin Wuming plopped down on the only place to sit—a mobile stretcher bed.

As the battle intensified, Lin Wuming had to concentrate, so he didn't want to further distract himself by manipulating his Nen to support his injured legs and maintain his normal standing and walking.

The best solution was to find a place to sit down and focus his Nen on the fight.

The stretcher bed was the perfect choice—it could support his body, and it had four wheels for mobility… just right.

Lin Wuming felt a strange sense of familiarity. But he had no time to think about it—the enemy had already started throwing bricks!

Lin Wuming had already witnessed the power of the girl's brick attacks. The destructive force was astonishing, and it was a powerful attack that had to be taken seriously.

Entering a state of serious engagement, Lin Wuming's Nen was fully released, instantly filling the room.

Before the enemy could act, Lin Wuming's Nen had already locked onto the brick in her hand.

Then, as she launched it, he began to reduce the speed of the projectile.

Lin Wuming's Nen barrier had limited strength, but that didn't matter. Nen barriers could be stacked—if one wasn't enough, he'd use two, then three, four, five…

Lin Wuming now had ample time and space to stack Nen barriers, enough to reduce the enemy's impressive attack to nothing.

In the end, the enemy's brick projectile traveled less than two meters before being smashed into powder by the dozens of layers of Nen barriers.

As his Nen flowed with his will, Lin Wuming launched a Nen impact the moment Sawtooth's vision was obscured by the dust.

This move was essentially pushing a Nen barrier out to strike the enemy, which was particularly effective against soft targets like the human body.

Sawtooth reacted quickly, perceiving the attack trajectory through the dust that hadn't yet settled in the room, and making a perfect parrying motion.

Even the intangible Nen impact was blocked firmly by her.

But Lin Wuming's Nen impact could be fired continuously, and after deflecting several attacks, Sawtooth was finally hit.

Launching Nen blocks directly was more convenient and efficient than throwing stones.

For a skilled Nen user, the frequency and speed of attacks were also much faster than normal attacks.

Therefore, in this 'projectile' duel, Lin Wuming emerged victorious.

The battle situation was instantly reversed, but Lin Wuming felt a little disappointed.

—In the end, can I only be a 'Nen user'?

At this moment, Lin Wuming finally had the mind to reflect on his current state. Sitting on a mobile stretcher bed to concentrate… isn't that a wheelchair in a way!

So, in the end, the most suitable combat state for me is actually 'wheelchair mode'?

He looked down at his legs and hands again—when it comes to real battles, this mortal body is indeed useless!

"What kind of wheelchair war god am I…" Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain.

Realizing that the battle situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Sawtooth decided to run.

—This intruder is too strange, beyond my ability to handle. I must ask Maple to take action personally.

Lin Wuming couldn't let the enemy escape so easily. He manipulated his temporary wheelchair to chase after her, continuously applying Nen barriers to block her escape route.

Sawtooth broke through the obstructing Nen barriers one after another, inevitably slowing down her speed, and making her increasingly anxious.

She knew that the Nen user behind her was responsible, and if the previous battle hadn't left her feeling defeated, she would have turned around and fought him again!

In Sawtooth's eyes, the man behind her was simply a psychologically twisted sadist!

He pretended to be weak at first, just to fool her! He was simply toying with her!

Now that he was tired of playing, he finally revealed his ferocious true colors…

In her panic, Sawtooth suddenly tripped and staggered.

Trained in various ukemi techniques, she supported herself with one hand, using the momentum to get up… but her hand seemed to press on some material of unknown composition, causing her to slip and fall to the ground.

Immediately afterward, countless attacks landed on her body. Sawtooth felt like she was being ganged up on by a large group of people, and before she could resist, she was knocked unconscious by a 'flurry of fists'…

After knocking the enemy unconscious, Lin Wuming finally stopped. He jumped off the stretcher bed and went to Sawtooth's side.

Although this girl was a good fighter, her defense seemed to be at the level of an ordinary person. When she couldn't parry, even the most ordinary Nen impact could effectively strike her.

Lin Wuming still didn't know what her superpower was in the end.

"And, another unknown person…" Having defeated two enemies in a row, but not even knowing their names, Lin Wuming couldn't help but shake his head.

However, since they were enemies, there was no need to know them. He could just defeat them.

But Lin Wuming at least knew that this person was not the enemy leader, Niregaki Koji Maple.

"However, if this trend continues, will it be the enemy leader's turn next?" Lin Wuming muttered to himself.

It felt like playing a side-scrolling game, first fighting the minions, then the executives, and finally the enemy's big BOSS.

Putting the unconscious enemy on the stretcher bed, Lin Wuming took her out of the private arena and walked back along the underground tunnel.

If he wasn't mistaken, this seemingly straight tunnel should have other forks.

"I wonder if there will be a third enemy executive waiting for me on the way…" Lin Wuming speculated.

According to the information Lin Wuming had, the enemy 'Fake Props' had four main members. If the two people he had defeated earlier were members, then there were two left.

Besides the leader, Niregaki Koji Maple, there should be another high-ranking executive.

Lin Wuming didn't mind continuing to fight.

If it really went this smoothly, this 'Underground Arena' case might be declared closed directly.

Recalling when he and Kurotsuma Wataru divided the work not long ago, Lin Wuming strongly requested to 'make a scene' at the arena to attract the enemy's attention.

As a result, he somehow ended up in this bizarre place, fighting two of the enemy's executives.

As for the real 'Underground Arena,' Lin Wuming hadn't even seen a shadow of it.

"Those masked people must have provided false information!" Lin Wuming speculated, "Knowing that we were going to disrupt the competition, they deliberately pointed us in the wrong direction, so that we would face the enemy executives' attacks… that must be it!"

Thinking of this, Lin Wuming was a little worried about the situation on Kurotsuma Wataru and Hattori Hanzo's side.

They must have been exposed as well. Perhaps the enemy leader, Niregaki Koji Maple, was dealing with them!

I wonder if Kurotsuma Wataru and Hattori Hanzo can hold on…
