A Scientific Urban Detective

Misaka Mikoto, moving at high speed in mid-air, quickly noticed the problem—there seemed to be some kind of "repulsion" between herself and Lin Wuming, making it impossible to close the distance between them to within fifty meters.

Stepping on clouds of iron sand and flying at high speed, Misaka Mikoto felt a little anxious.

Although she had mastered special "flying skills," she rarely operated like this—after all, iron sand wasn't exactly a stable foothold.

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto felt as if she was really stepping on clouds to fly, feeling like she had nowhere to borrow strength from.

Without a stable foothold, she naturally couldn't fully exert her incredibly powerful electromagnetic force, and was pushed away by Lin Wuming's limited output of telekinetic power, always maintaining a distance of less than thirty meters that couldn't be reduced—that's right, she could only manage to close the distance to this point even with all her efforts.

Seeing that the two were about to fly all the way to the downtown area, Misaka Mikoto, aroused by her competitive spirit, couldn't care too much and finally let go.

Powerful superpowers interfered with reality, and the AIM diffusion field detection equipment in the nearby research institute began to alarm.

Misaka Mikoto used her superpowers to induce free electrons in the atmosphere... a real "lightning strike" was generated.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder, a bolt from the blue struck Lin Wuming head-on.

"!" Even Misaka Mikoto was frightened by her own attack, and was immediately worried about Lin Wuming's condition.

But looking down, she found Lin Wuming sitting in his wheelchair unscathed.

The ground around him was scorched black, making Misaka Mikoto wonder if she had missed.

"Eh? Too cunning!" Misaka Mikoto immediately reacted—it wasn't that she had missed.

Two nearly two-meter-long metal rods extended from the back of Lin Wuming's wheelchair, pointing to the sky like antennas, and several iron chains were dragged to the ground from under the wheelchair—forming a simple lightning protection device.

When using electromagnetic force to pull the wheelchair earlier, Misaka Mikoto felt that there were many benign conductors on Lin Wuming's wheelchair, which were easy to operate.

But now it seems that these benign conductor materials were precisely prepared to resolve her electric shocks!

You could even see many thin branches, only a dozen centimeters long, popping out of the wheelchair, forming a Faraday cage to protect Lin Wuming inside as much as possible.

Of course, such a setting is definitely not safe, and anyone with a little electrical knowledge who sees the "lightning protection device" on this wheelchair would probably be driven mad.

But Lin Wuming didn't care, because he was a telekineticist. In addition to these external equipment, his telekinetic power could also provide a final layer of protection—a film made of diamond sand covered Lin Wuming's body surface, isolating his whole body from the outside, so that even if there was a leakage, it wouldn't be fatal.

That's why Misaka Mikoto exclaimed "cunning."

But at the same time, she also realized that she didn't have to worry about accidentally electrocuting Lin Wuming to death.

So, the corners of Misaka Mikoto's mouth turned up, revealing a happy smile.

Then, more and more intense electric shocks bombarded Lin Wuming more and more wantonly!

—Although it's Misaka Mikoto, she's obviously not normal in this state!

Lin Wuming wailed inwardly while struggling to support himself.

At this time, he somewhat understood Touma Kamijou's feelings in the original work, but the difference was that Lin Wuming didn't have such a convenient ability as "Imagine Breaker."

—Even if I prepared a lightning protection device in advance, its effect is limited!

However, on the other hand, Misaka Mikoto at this time seemed to be addicted to releasing lightning and bombardments, forming path dependence. This attack mode was full of a feeling of venting emotions, and lacked too much ingenuity.

Before the lightning protection device was penetrated, Lin Wuming even had some time to observe the surrounding situation.

Because of Misaka Mikoto's indiscriminate bombardment, the surrounding environment was filled with powerful and chaotic electromagnetic fields.

Wherever the two fought, all electrical equipment failed one after another, with minor cases of tripping and circuit breaking, and serious cases of component overload and burnout, triggering a series of small explosions and fires.

"Almost..." Seeing this scene, Lin Wuming's eyes lit up, he nodded secretly, and looked at the girl opposite him again.

"Mikoto..." Lin Wuming manipulated a small piece of telekinetic block and sent the words directly to Misaka Mikoto's ears, "Continue to maintain this electromagnetic interference, and then listen to me—also, stop attacking me, I can't hold on anymore!"

"Eh?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned.

"Don't stop, don't make extra expressions!" Lin Wuming said quickly.

At the same time, Lin Wuming gave up fighting and spread all his telekinetic power around...

In order to find a suitable opportunity to explain all the truth to Misaka Mikoto, Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki did not hesitate to go to great lengths to formulate this troublesome action plan.

—Using the chaotic sound and light interference on the battlefield during the fierce battle, as well as the double filtering of telekinetic power and electromagnetic force, to eliminate the "Stagnant Air" around the two, forming a clean, unmonitored ideal chat room.

Then take the opportunity to tell Misaka Mikoto all the truth about the "Mass Production Ability User Project" and the "Absolute Power Evolution Project."

By vibrating telekinetic blocks, a series of "voice packs" can be transmitted to Misaka Mikoto's ears at the fastest speed. Although to normal people, it is just a series of sharp and harsh high-frequency noises, I believe that with Level 5's intelligence and brainpower, she should be able to understand this information...

Therefore, Lin Wuming had previously taken the initiative to cooperate and push the situation towards the "battle" path.

What made Lin Wuming fortunate but also helpless was that in the battle with Misaka Mikoto, except for the time when he used the Dellinger pistol, he never entered the "bullet time" state throughout the whole process, so he couldn't exert 100% of his strength and was very passive in the fight.

But on the other hand, Misaka Mikoto didn't take it seriously... at least she didn't mean to kill herself.

However, this is very good, Lin Wuming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the development of the situation was in line with his expectations. Next, just tell her...

Just then, an accident happened!

Lin Wuming didn't know exactly what happened, but he felt a chill down his spine, as if something terrible was about to... no, had already happened.

Because he possessed "bullet time", Lin Wuming often took the initiative to "seek death."

Therefore, he was very familiar with "fatal crises."

—The feeling at this moment is undoubtedly a "fatal crisis", but it is a hundred times stronger than those he has experienced in the past!

It can no longer be regarded as a "fatal crisis", but rather the Grim Reaper directly driving up to him and putting the scythe on his neck!

After an unknown amount of time, or just a moment, Lin Wuming finally realized—he didn't know when he had actually entered the "bullet time" state again.

But this time the "bullet time" was completely different from the past—in short, it became slower!
