A Scientific Urban Detective

“If it's for special training, you can tell Yellow Springchuan-sensei directly. She shouldn't object,” Torafushi Mitsu easily accepted Lin Wuming's explanation and suggested.

“No, no, no,” Lin Wuming shook his head repeatedly. “Sensei would definitely care a lot. She would never accept something like pulling the trigger on myself.”

Torafushi Mitsu tilted her head and thought carefully, then nodded: “Yes, you’re right.”

—Thinking about it from another perspective, Sakurai-sensei wouldn't allow me to shoot myself in the head either, right?

“Then…” Torafushi Mitsu released her hands, stood up, and walked around the wheelchair. “Wuming, show me the results of your special training.”

Just in case, Torafushi Mitsu decided to witness it once with her own eyes.

At the same time, she had already taken out the black ribbon, ready and waiting—if she discovered that Lin Wuming might fail, she would take action to knock down the bullet!

Lin Wuming didn't refuse. After reloading the bullet, he was familiar with it after doing it once or twice. Without needing to build himself up mentally, he directly pulled the trigger towards his forehead.

Noticing that Torafushi Mitsu was ready to draw her sword, Lin Wuming used multiple layers of telekinetic barriers to block the bullet.

Then, the moment he escaped "bullet time," he waved his hand and grabbed the bullet.

“Look, I succeeded.” Lin Wuming opened his palm and stretched it out to the girl.

A delicate bullet head lay quietly in his palm.

Putting away the ribbon, Torafushi Mitsu clapped her hands: “Wuming is amazing!”

But honestly, it was more of a polite gesture. This girl didn't think it was anything too impressive.

It wasn't that Lin Wuming's performance wasn't impressive, but Torafushi Mitsu saw through his "trick."

As an expert who could split bullets with a sword, Torafushi Mitsu's dynamic vision was very sharp. A bullet with a speed of only a little over 100 meters per second wasn't something she couldn't see clearly.

Therefore, Torafushi Mitsu clearly saw just now—the bullet Lin Wuming shot at himself stopped in mid-air first, and then he reached out to grab it.

To those who didn't know the truth, it looked like Lin Wuming caught the bullet with his bare hands, which was very intimidating. But for Torafushi Mitsu, who had already seen through this trick, it felt a bit redundant, more like a small action done to show off.

“Also…” As if wanting to show off his results, Lin Wuming flicked the bullet in his hand and pulled the trigger again.

—To what extent can the telekinetic acceleration cannon in "bullet time" be accelerated?

In five seconds of subjective time, less than a millisecond in reality, the bullet underwent a hundred meters of violent acceleration, reaching a speed that Lin Wuming couldn't understand.

The moment it left the hundred-meter vacuum track formed by telekinesis, the small bullet crashed into the “air wall,” instantly blooming into a beautiful flower formed of “molten iron.”

Then, this “molten iron flower” transformed into countless tiny droplets and scattered outwards.

Leaving "bullet time," Lin Wuming only saw a cluster of tiny light spots suddenly explode on the lake in front of him, followed by a thunderous roar and a large splash of water in the center of the lake.

It was as if a bomb had exploded in the center of the lake.

“Is Wuming imitating the Explosion Man?” Torafushi Mitsu complained.

But it was undeniable that using a bullet weighing less than ten grams to create such a powerful explosion, and doing it in such a short time—Lin Wuming's combat power had indeed improved considerably.

Simply from the perspective of destructive power, not to mention Level 5, it was at least comparable to Level 4 Metoha Kouma.

“In that case, maybe I can scare him a little?” Lin Wuming nodded.

Lin Wuming remembered that he still had a duel with that guy Accelerator. Although he couldn't expect this evolved version of the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" to hurt the other party, he could at least scare him...

There was no way around it, Accelerator's strength was so heaven-defying that any normal attack was meaningless to him.

“Accelerator?” Torafushi Mitsu immediately guessed who Lin Wuming was referring to.

Lin Wuming didn't hide the fact that he had a duel with Accelerator. Many people at the underground arena heard their conversation at the time, and it couldn't be hidden at all.

Perhaps because she had a clear and accurate understanding of the strength of Level 5, or perhaps because she had absolute confidence in Lin Wuming; in short, Torafushi Mitsu wasn't worried about this “duel.”

“Wuming, are you preparing to challenge that No. 1?” Torafushi Mitsu asked.

“It can only be said that I'm ready to admit defeat, right?” Lin Wuming said with a wry smile.

He knew very well, what capital did he have to confront Level 5 head-on? And it was that Accelerator...

Even if he had mastered the technique of actively activating "bullet time," which was equivalent to obtaining a skill similar to "time stop," he wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that he was invincible.

The real reason Lin Wuming thought he could "challenge" Accelerator was actually to hone his new skills through his battle with him.

After all, other than Accelerator, there didn't seem to be a second practical opponent who would allow Lin Wuming to bombard him with the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" without any scruples, without worrying about causing deaths.

In addition, Lin Wuming realized that Accelerator's temper and personality weren't as twisted and perverted as in the original work, and his favorability with him seemed to be pretty good. If it was just a friendly match, he shouldn't kill him, so it could be said to be the perfect “sparring partner.”

—Kakine Teitoku might also have such overwhelming strength, but his relationship with him and his “School” wasn't too good, so he probably wouldn't agree to be this “sparring partner.”

In short, it was a win-win situation, and Lin Wuming didn't plan to easily let go of this opportunity for a duel.

“Also,” Lin Wuming hesitated, “Torafushi…”

“What's wrong?”

“I want to go alone for the duel with Accelerator,” Lin Wuming said.

Since who knows when, Torafushi Mitsu seemed to be bound to Lin Wuming, always by his side, inseparable.

Although Lin Wuming had gotten used to this mode of getting along and didn't find it inconvenient, there were times when he didn't want Torafushi Mitsu to follow him too closely.

“Why?” the girl asked back as if it were a matter of course. “I won't hinder you.”

—Afraid you'll impulsively provoke Accelerator; don't want to be seen by a girl in a miserable and embarrassed state...

These two reasons lingered in Lin Wuming's mind, and in a sense, they were both true. But the problem now was, which reason would Torafushi Mitsu accept?
