A Scientific Urban Detective

The enemy once again used their spatial ability to escape before Lin Wuming arrived; but with the previous experience, Lin Wuming found the enemy's location even faster this time.

Two more "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannons" were fired, and Lin Wuming pursued relentlessly.

Of course, he couldn't let go of a group of dangerous assassins. Lin Wuming himself wasn't afraid of their assassination methods, but others around him might not be so lucky. Even Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, the two Level 5s, could easily fall victim to a sudden "nitrogen poisoning" attack.

As Lin Wuming chased after them, the enemy jumped to the top of another high-rise building...

Racing against a "Spatial User" wasn't a wise choice, but it wasn't entirely without a chance of winning.

After all, a "Spatial User" was also an esper, also a human—and since they were human, they would make mistakes.

Especially with an ability like "Spatial Manipulation," which required extremely precise calculations, the demands on the esper's quality were even higher.

Even someone as strong as Kihara Tsumuri could develop psychological trauma from her superpower, and other Spatial Users probably couldn't avoid it either.

Lin Wuming repeatedly firing the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" wasn't aimless. Although the distance between him and the enemy had exceeded the effective range of the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon," whether or not he could hit the enemy wasn't important. His real purpose was to create psychological pressure on the enemy's Spatial User, forcing him to make mistakes or even preventing him from continuing to use his ability!

Sure enough, after several rounds of pursuit, the "Corpse Eater Squad" was indeed starting to struggle.

"Material Transposition" was pale, relying entirely on the captain "Oxygen Manipulation" to support his body from collapsing: "He's too fierce. What kind of target did we set our sights on this time! Isn't that guy disabled? How is his mobility so terrifying!"

"After all, he's not using his legs to move. He's flying!" the captain said.

"Captain, we can't keep going like this," the Spatial User said in a low voice. "My mind can't handle it anymore; I can't carry four people."

"We'll split up and escape," the captain "Oxygen Manipulation" immediately said loudly. "After escaping, regroup at headquarters!"

With that, she and "Material Transposition" disappeared on the spot, replaced by several sandbags falling to the ground.

"Damn it, they abandoned us and ran away!"

"Illusionist" immediately cursed.

"Magician" also looked unsightly.

The reason why the "Corpse Eater Squad" was divided into "Suffocation" and "Illusion" groups was mainly because—the two members of the "Suffocation" group were their own people, in addition to their different combat styles.

Although "Oxygen Manipulation" was the only Level 3 in the team, as the captain, she possessed absolute authority and status within the organization.

And "Material Transposition" was her confidant and the core of the team. Almost all of the "Corpse Eater Squad's" tactics revolved around the "Material Transposition" ability.

As for the "Illusionist" and "Magician," they were simply reserve members used to enrich the team's tactical options—they could be abandoned and replaced at any time if necessary.

Of course, finding two Level 4 Great Esper again would probably not be easy, so the captain wouldn't abandon them unless absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, the current situation was an "absolutely necessary" emergency.

At this time, the "Illusionist" and "Magician," trapped on the roof with no way to escape, could only fight with their backs to the wall.

Facing the aggressively pursuing Lin Wuming, "Magician" abandoned defense and fired cone-shaped "earth spikes" in a suicidal manner.

The result, of course, was that Lin Wuming easily blocked them with telekinesis.

As for the "Illusionist's" illusions, Lin Wuming ignored them from the start—as long as he didn't rely on vision but used telekinetic scanning, he could easily "see" through the truth.

Lin Wuming, of course, also saw that these two people were left behind to cover the retreat.

In that case, the other two who escaped were even more important!

Lin Wuming naturally couldn't let them go.

Looking at the two below who had already fallen into despair, Lin Wuming didn't waste ammunition on them, nor did he want to make the scene too ugly—if soft targets like humans were hit by the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon," they would probably be utterly destroyed.

There was no need to use such violent means against these two enemies who had already lost their will to resist.

Lin Wuming suddenly felt that the "earth spikes" he had just captured were very handy, so he used these slender cones to replace the steel balls and fired them out.

The two enemies screamed as they were nailed to the ground, but at least they were left with their lives.

Lin Wuming ignored them and instead packed up all the remaining "earth spikes" to chase after the other two.

After the previous experiment, Lin Wuming discovered that these "earth spikes" were surprisingly suitable for his "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon."

Perhaps due to the properties of the ceramic material, their high-temperature resistance was excellent, and their hardness was first-class, able to withstand the violent acceleration of the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" without shattering. They were truly perfect projectiles.

With these "earth spikes," Lin Wuming's "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" could break through the hundred-meter effective range limit and fly a greater distance with a more stable trajectory...

Lin Wuming aimed at the two enemies who had already escaped five hundred meters away and fired the ammunition he had just acquired.

Not long after Lin Wuming left, Kakine Teitoku flapped his white wings, bringing Tagiri Ringo and Ryugo Chigo down from the sky to the roof where "Magician" and "Illusionist" were.

"Wow!"

Seeing the two people nailed to the ground like dead fish, Ryugo Chigo exclaimed and quickly turned her head away, afraid to look again.

Although Tagiri Ringo also frowned, she was surprisingly adapted to this bloody scene.

Rather, this scene was very much in line with her inherent impression of Wuming-nii.

You know, Lin Wuming had done even more excessive things in that basement back then.

"Tsk, consider yourselves lucky that you're still alive." Kakine Teitoku shielded Ryugo Chigo's view with his wings while pulling out the earth spikes from the enemies' bodies and using "Dark Matter" to fill their wounds, which could be considered the most basic first aid.

"No, it should be said that you're too unlucky to have accepted this commission." Kakine Teitoku shook his head. "If it weren't for the employer's request this time, I wouldn't bother saving you."

"Sch... School..."

The two, regaining their breath, recognized Kakine Teitoku's signature pure white wings.

Combining that with his previous words, the "Illusionist," who had been in the dark world for a long time, suddenly understood something and murmured, "So, we were caught up in the struggle between those big shots above?"

"Yes." Kakine Teitoku nodded. "And it's the kind where your death would be in vain."

"Illusionist's" face was unsightly.

"Don't be angry," Kakine Teitoku said with a look of schadenfreude. "Your companions will be joining you soon... Ah, I caught another one."

Kakine Teitoku looked into the distance: "I hope that guy is still alive too."
