A Scientific Urban Detective

After all, Mugino Shizuri didn't possess "Ability Tracking" and hadn't had time to communicate directly with Takitsubo Rikou, so she wasn't particularly aware of the situation below. She didn't know that below was an ultra-high-rise indoor space with a height of fifty meters.

In Mugino Shizuri's estimation, the underground space shouldn't be too high. If it was only a dozen meters, she could withstand it with her physical abilities; if she used the "Meltdowner" beam to cushion the fall, it would be even safer.

Therefore, until the last second before the actual fall, Mugino Shizuri was fearlessly outputting her power.

It wasn't until she caught sight of the ground forty or fifty meters below that Mugino Shizuri realized things were not good.

At the same time, Accelerator seemed to have had enough of her one-sided attacks.

Raising his hand, Accelerator directly grasped a "Meltdowner" in his hand.

Even a quantum superposition of electron clusters should have a method of破解 after being hit so many times.

This time, instead of deflecting the attack, he returned the "Meltdowner" the way it came, reflecting it back towards Mugino Shizuri's face!

The precision of the shot was even higher than Mugino Shizuri herself, who wasn't good at precise manipulation.

The near-light-speed attack was impossible for Mugino Shizuri to react to—even though it was originally her own attack.

She wanted to do something, but in an instant, her mind went blank. Even if she subjectively wanted to do something, there was simply no time to put it into practice.

No one knew the power of "Meltdowner" better than Mugino Shizuri herself.

To put it this way, before encountering Accelerator today, anyone or anything facing "Meltdowner" had only two outcomes—either they dodged it and weren't hit, or they were hit and annihilated.

Survival or destruction, one or the other, with no middle ground.

This was an iron rule that even Mugino Shizuri herself couldn't escape.

Just as she felt certain she would die, Mugino Shizuri suddenly felt her consciousness "come alive," and things that were originally "too late" suddenly became possible.

Her usually lacking "precise control" became miraculously smooth—in the nick of time, she fired another "Meltdowner," accurately hitting the attack reflected by Accelerator.

The two "Meltdowner" beams intersected in the air, then both changed direction. The attack that was originally certain to hit ended up flying past Mugino Shizuri's hair.

At the same time, Mugino Shizuri seized the opportunity to fire a five-shot "Meltdowner" barrage downwards, using the resulting slight recoil to slow her descent as much as possible.

Despite being startled, Mugino Shizuri eventually landed safely.

During this period, she even over-performed, launching a fierce attack on Accelerator, forcing him to focus on resolving the "cave-in crisis" and rescue the people below, leaving him no time to interfere with her landing...

"Takitsubo… is that you?" After her feet firmly touched the ground, the "miraculous" feeling on Mugino Shizuri also dissipated.

Mugino Shizuri knew very well that it wasn't her own over-performance, but simply the assistance of a companion.

After using "Body Crystal," Takitsubo Rikou's superpower seemed capable of doing such things.

—Just now, it was as if Takitsubo Rikou and Mugino Shizuri had joined forces to manipulate "Meltdowner." Takitsubo Rikou's addition made up for the original lack of precision, resulting in that amazing burst of power.

If it were Mugino Shizuri alone, it would have been impossible to do such a thing.

In other words, Takitsubo Rikou had just saved her, in various ways.

The fighting spirit in Mugino Shizuri's heart finally completely dissipated. She had to once again face the enormous gap between herself and Accelerator.

Just now, even with Takitsubo Rikou's assistance, she still hadn't been able to cause Accelerator even the slightest bit of trouble.

During the process of falling from "upstairs," the reason why Accelerator didn't continue to add attacks was because he was focusing his main energy on resolving the "collapse crisis" and rescuing the people below.

Realizing this, even if Mugino Shizuri was proud and conceited, she had no face to continue relentlessly launching challenges...

Lin Wuming saw a tall, beautiful girl descend from the sky and land directly opposite him.

Although it was their first meeting, he could guess the other party's identity from the emerald green beams that had been shooting around overhead.

"Mugino Shizuri." Lin Wuming looked up at the dome again. At the edge of the huge hole, there seemed to be a few small heads looking down.

Their eyes met in the air, and Lin Wuming immediately spotted Kinuhata Saiai.

—It seems that "Item" has been dispatched in full force.

"Do you guys have a mission?" Lin Wuming asked.

Reminded by him, Mugino Shizuri remembered that she had come with a mission.

Just then, she looked down at her feet and saw a blonde girl collapsed on the ground, wearing a Tokiwadai Middle School uniform—very conspicuous in this environment.

"Who is she?" Mugino Shizuri asked.

"Nunnerywood Kōji Maple, the leader of the organizers of this underground arena," Lin Wuming introduced.

"Oh, so she's the one who dared to impersonate us?" Mugino Shizuri grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, "In that case..."

Emerald green light flashed, and Mugino Shizuri directly blasted out "Meltdowner" without explanation, the target being Nunnerywood Kōji Maple at her feet.

Although the "Fake Item" was indeed their mission target, Mugino Shizuri's actions at this moment were undoubtedly out of anger.

She was already angry at the existence of "Fake Item," and she had just been defeated miserably by Accelerator, unconvinced. At this moment, she discovered that the leader of "Fake Item" was right at her feet...

Suddenly, old and new grudges surged into her heart, and she mercilessly launched a fatal attack!

But just as the light lit up, Nunnerywood Kōji Maple, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes and waved her hand.

The trajectory of "Meltdowner" was deflected, and it shot towards Lin Wuming!

The flow of time slowed down, entering "Bullet Time"... but it wasn't until a while later that Lin Wuming realized this.

Because in his subjective view, the speed of "Meltdowner" didn't have a clear "slow-motion" trend as it usually did in "Bullet Time," but was as fast as a bullet in normal time!

Before Lin Wuming could react, the emerald green beam had already arrived in front of him!

The psychic barrier in front of him was useless, and he didn't even feel it being broken, as if it didn't exist from the beginning.

Lin Wuming knew that he absolutely couldn't block the pure destructive attack of "Meltdowner." Moreover, the near-light-speed attack speed had already exceeded the response limit of "Bullet Time."

—Ah, so unlucky!

Lin Wuming only had time to sigh in his heart.
