A Scientific Urban Detective

Under the effect of "Bullet Time," everything before Lin Wuming's eyes slowed down. What he needed to do was no different from before—stack up defenses to block the bullets. Moreover, he even had the mind to adjust his telekinetic barrier into the shape of slanted armor, attempting to deflect the armor-piercing round.

Similarly, while "Bullet Time" was still in effect, Lin Wuming seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

—Even in this slow world of "Bullet Time," telekinetic blocks rained down on the enemy.

In normal time, all of this happened too quickly. Before Hunter Three could even understand what was happening, he felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train, suffering violent impacts all over his body simultaneously, and losing consciousness in an instant.

Swish!

The flow of time returned to normal.

Lin Wuming happened to see the enemy collapsing to the ground.

He didn't dare relax, still "bared his fangs and brandished his claws" warily for a while, and only after confirming that the enemy couldn't get up again did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Similar to his battle experience with Honey-sweet Hornet last time, during "Bullet Time," his mind was highly stimulated—or rather, in a state of high-speed operation and calmness. Therefore, apart from fighting and solving the immediate problem, there were no "distractions" like fear or panic.

But when the crisis was resolved, and he exited "Bullet Time," returning to normal, Lin Wuming finally began to feel waves of lingering fear.

—Just kidding, the enemy had genuinely shot at him!

For someone who grew up in a peaceful era, they might not have the opportunity to encounter real bullets in their entire life, except perhaps during military training organized by the school. Let alone experience being shot.

For Lin Wuming, although both were lethal weapons, the combination of firearms and bullets had a far greater impact than cold weapons like knives and swords.

Even if the actual power of this bullet wasn't necessarily stronger than the initial spikes.

—Come to think of it, back in the hospital, Dr. Yamamoto's assassination weapon was also a handgun, wasn't it?

This forced Lin Wuming to once again warn himself—the enemies targeting him were a group of thugs who didn't hesitate to use firearms! They really wanted to kill him, leaving no room for negotiation. He had to be more careful and take it seriously.

However, although Lin Wuming was already aware of this rationally, it was still the first time he had been hunted down, so he always had a sense of unreality, naively thinking it wasn't a big deal.

It was like not finishing homework in school, or not completing work on time at work. When facing teachers or bosses, one would indeed feel scared; but it was only limited to feeling scared. Things would always pass, and after a night's sleep, a new day would come.

However, being hunted down and silenced was a completely different matter. After death, one couldn't see the sun of the next day, and there was no chance to start over.

After understanding this, a sense of terror originating from instinct would surge into his heart.

This time, he was facing not some third-rate gang, but real killers wielding凶器!

Using his telekinesis, he picked up the enemy's handgun and examined it closely.

—This is a real firearm!

Lin Wuming reminded himself again to realize the seriousness of the matter. He immediately decided that he no longer intended to continue "adventuring" alone. He should call for support immediately.

Lin Wuming took out his phone and called Ruiko Saten for help.

However, the call didn't go through—the phone showed no signal.

This shouldn't be a problem in a place like Academy City. Lin Wuming knew that he hadn't escaped the enemy's encirclement!

—The communication signal was blocked!

Putting away his phone, Lin Wuming once again looked around. He didn't find a fourth person.

In this area, besides Lin Wuming himself, there were only the two enemies lying on the ground.

Lin Wuming moved to the thug's side and found that he had lost consciousness and fallen into a coma. But in fact, the wound on his neck wasn't deep. If treated and bandaged in time, it shouldn't be fatal.

Because when he was attacked, the thug's neck was still wrapped with a "collar" formed by telekinesis. It was this thin telekinetic barrier that saved his life.

"Consider yourself lucky..." Lin Wuming muttered, took out the first aid kit equipped on the wheelchair, and used a band-aid and gauze to give him emergency treatment.

As for the man in the suit, Lin Wuming had no intention of helping him.

—This guy didn't hesitate to try to kill me. Even if he really died in front of me, I wouldn't feel guilty.

Confirming that this unlucky thug wouldn't die in a short time, Lin Wuming felt that he had done his best and decided not to stay any longer, deciding to leave as soon as possible.

"The enemy is in the dark, and I'm in the light, and I don't even know the enemy's specific numbers..." Lin Wuming sped forward in his wheelchair. "Leaving here as quickly as possible and running to a crowded street will be a success."

This empty area was obviously abnormal. It should have been designated as a battlefield by the enemy and cleared, right?

Then, as long as he could break through the battlefield designated by the enemy, he could force the enemy's plan to fail and give up chasing him.

Under the propulsion of telekinesis, the wheelchair under Lin Wuming could speed like a racing car.

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

Even with the strength of a Level 3 telekinetic ability, lifting the wheelchair for short-distance flight wasn't impossible.

Lin Wuming's speed was considered conservative at this time, because he also had to be distracted to deal with other enemies who might be lurking, and couldn't fully accelerate.

Facts proved that Lin Wuming wasn't just worrying unnecessarily.

Just as he decided to further accelerate, he suddenly felt that the scenery flying backward beside him had slowed down.

Without warning, Lin Wuming once again entered "Bullet Time."

Lin Wuming was very fortunate that "Bullet Time" was a passive ability and didn't start according to his subjective will.

Instead, as long as an attack that could indeed threaten his life appeared, this special state would automatically trigger.

Just like this time, after entering "Bullet Time," Lin Wuming immediately widened his eyes and carefully observed, and finally discovered the object threatening his life.

In the upper left ten o'clock direction, about fifty meters away from him, there was a bullet in flight.

Even under "Bullet Time," it was approaching at a relatively fast speed—in this slow-motion playback, even almost stagnant world, a "normally moving" object was very conspicuous.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Wuming was able to discover this moving little black dot in the distance and determine that it was also a bullet.

Another enemy launched an attack!

Lin Wuming's vision followed the trajectory of the bullet in reverse, and the extension line eventually converged on a high-rise building three hundred meters away.

—Sniper!
