A Scientific Urban Detective

Tiger Prawn Honey's ribbon suddenly straightened, stabbing out at the enemy like lightning.

Without entering "bullet time," Lin Wuming only saw the girl's hand suddenly turn into a blur, and at the same time, a large patch of blood "exploded" on the enemy!

Lin Wuming felt a faint pain in his chest. Although he didn't count clearly, he inexplicably knew that Tiger Prawn Honey had stabbed seven times in an instant—just like when she attacked him last time.

Perhaps, seven is this crazy girl's lucky number?

Lin Wuming drifted back a little further.

The sword was too fast. After retracting it, there wasn't a single trace of blood on the ribbon.

Tiger Prawn Honey stood with her sword, her posture the same as before, as if she wasn't the one who had just hurt someone.

It wasn't until this moment that the "Hunter" leader realized what had happened, and then cried out in pain.

Waiting for the "blood fountain" at the wound to finish spurting, Tiger Prawn Honey shook her hand and thrust her sword again...

Repeating this four times, in just one minute, Tiger Prawn Honey stabbed the enemy twenty-eight times in a row, without saying a word or showing any intention of "interrogation."

It seemed... just pure torture.

In shock and panic, the "Hunter" leader's mind went blank. Apart from instinctive howling, he couldn't make any other valuable reaction.

In the end, even Lin Wuming couldn't bear to watch anymore. Even though he himself wanted to kill the enemy, seeing this scene gave him an inexplicable sense of "empathy."

This also completely awakened him from his previous hysterical state.

"Hey, that's enough, don't really stab him to death..." Lin Wuming reminded softly.

In any case, it's not good to be known as a "murderer," especially when one has an absolute advantage. It's not worth gambling one's future peaceful life to harm someone.

"Hmph, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," the girl said indifferently. "Avoid the vital points and prolong his life, so there's time to force information out of him, or to take revenge."

Tiger Prawn Honey looked at Lin Wuming and said seriously, "Your vent-your-anger beating just now would have been more likely to accidentally kill him."

—A female demon!

The "Hunter" leader only had this thought in his mind at this moment—to be able to say such terrifying words in such a commonplace tone at such a young age, it was impossible to imagine how twisted her mind was.

Even Lin Wuming, as her companion, felt a burst of palpitations, let alone the "Hunter" leader who was actually being stabbed.

The "Hunter" leader realized—this female demon was serious. She was "on our side"! Even more extreme, she was born to belong to the dark world!

This female demon truly regarded human life as worthless, while the boy who was the target of this mission was more like a normal person—although he was very strong, it was obvious that he was a newbie who had never really killed anyone. He showed mercy everywhere in the previous battle and didn't dare to strike a fatal blow.

It was because he saw through this that the "Hunter" leader gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pretended to be dead, enduring Lin Wuming's repeated beatings.

He knew very well that this was the only way to both save his life and keep the secret—as long as he delayed, the security forces would come to rescue him.

Although it was embarrassing and he would be sent to prison, at least he could save his life and preserve the "Hunter's" basic reputation—he hadn't leaked the employer's information. After he escaped, he would at least have a chance to start over.

But this strategy didn't work against the female demon, because she would really kill people, and in a brutal and inhumane way!

"Stop! Stop! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!" So, he quickly admitted defeat and confessed, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

It turned out that "Black Moon Research Institute" was just a commonly used alias. The registered name of the real organization in charge of the "Dark May" plan was "Black Moon Technology Development Co., Ltd.," a subsidiary registered under a certain foreign investment group.

After learning the real name of the enemy organization, it was easy to find the location of the company's headquarters online.

It is worth mentioning that among the related news found online, one item was that an important laboratory under "Black Moon Technology" suddenly moved last month.

And the original address of that laboratory was the building where Lin Wuming first fell.

Originally, the relocation of a laboratory was just a very ordinary thing in Academy City—because there were so many laboratories, such "relocations" took place every day in this city. But with preconceived notions, one could see the problem.

"Okay, it can be determined that this is it." Lin Wuming immediately locked onto the location after the laboratory moved. "I'll go over there now."

"No," Tiger Prawn Honey objected, "I think this is likely a bait or a disposable pawn thrown out by the enemy."

She operated her phone and then showed it to Lin Wuming: "We should go here."

What was displayed on the phone map was the location of "Black Moon Technology's" headquarters.

To catch bandits, first catch their king. Lin Wuming nodded in agreement.

Tiger Prawn Honey put away the ribbon and then pushed the wheelchair that was lying on the side over: "Sit down, I'll push you."

Lin Wuming hesitated for a moment, but under the girl's bright gaze, he finally nodded and floated over in the air.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"Your injury..." Tiger Prawn Honey said suddenly, "I'm really sorry."

"No need to apologize," Lin Wuming shook his head and said vigilantly, "I know you're helping me. On the contrary, I should thank you."

Tiger Prawn Honey continued, "Today I went to Teacher Kiyama's house to visit you and even made a cake by hand."

"Eh? Is that so..." Lin Wuming was a little surprised. "Thank you."

"As an apology, I will make another cake to visit you, and I guarantee there will be strawberries on it!"

Lin Wuming was a little confused, not knowing why the girl suddenly mentioned this: "Oh, oh? Strawberry cake, I will look forward to it."

The two seemed to have forgotten the enemy lying on the ground bleeding, pushing the wheelchair and walking away while chatting.

The "Hunter" leader lay motionless on the ground. Although the people were no longer in front of him, the psychic power applied to him had not weakened in the slightest.

—Or, is it because I am getting weaker and weaker?

He became anxious in his heart. The fear of death was late in coming, but it made him less afraid.

"...So...am I still going to...die..." He regretted it a little. If he had known, he wouldn't have told the truth... No, if he had known, he shouldn't have resisted and should have confessed from the beginning.

Just as his consciousness gradually blurred, he finally caught sight of the familiar navy blue uniform appearing in his field of vision.

"...Ah..." As if relieved, he breathed a long sigh of relief—he was finally saved!
