A Scientific Urban Detective

Lin Wuming wanted to enter the arena and fight. From the moment Kurozuma Mairyu found him, this thought had been growing in Lin Wuming's mind.

Furthermore, the so-called "life-threatening danger" was, in Lin Wuming's opinion, a false proposition. Unless a Level 5 personally entered the arena, he wouldn't die, regardless of the outcome.

Lin Wuming even had the mind to imagine that if he barged into the arena and fought his way to the end, becoming the champion… there probably wouldn't be a more "disruptive" act than that, right?

Lin Wuming silently advanced along the corridor, and before long, he saw another masked person.

"Stop!" The other party immediately called out to him, "You are… from the upper-level handling department. What are you doing here?"

Lin Wuming couldn't help but look down at his own attire, muttering, "How did they know?"

After all, in Lin Wuming's view, his current outfit was no different from the person in front of him.

"Hmm…" After pondering for a moment, Lin Wuming said, "I'm going to the arena."

"Huh?" Because Lin Wuming's attitude was too calm and frank, the masked man didn't detect any threat. "But the person you're responsible for…"

"There was a bit of an accident, so I have to go down below," Lin Wuming continued.

"Tsk…" The other party shook his head. "Screwed up, huh? Good luck."

As he spoke, he actually opened the passage to the lower levels.

Lin Wuming also felt a little confused, completely unsure of what the other party had imagined.

But he couldn't be bothered to care so much, as long as he could continue forward.

Lin Wuming continued down the passage, quickly realizing that it was longer than he had expected.

After walking several hundred meters, he finally saw the first turn.

This area probably extends beyond the indoor theater, right?

Lin Wuming finally realized that the real "underground arena" was not located at the place advertised on the secret website. That place was, at most, just an entrance or a "transfer station."

"How troublesome. Are those rich people really willing to go through so much trouble to watch a match?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain.

"Of course! The more troublesome it is, the more sought after it becomes!" Suddenly, someone responded to Lin Wuming's words.

At this point, Lin Wuming wouldn't be easily frightened anymore.

Operating in the enemy's lair, he had been mentally prepared to be discovered at any time from the start.

Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Wuming didn't see a figure.

Or rather, he didn't see the expected "figure"—logically, whoever was speaking should be "humanoid," right?

But in Lin Wuming's field of vision, there was only a jagged "machine."

It was like a monster dwelling in this narrow and limited underground tunnel… More accurately, it should be a terrifying serpent, a monster snake with sharp thorns on its head!

The deep roar of the engine was particularly clear in this underground passage, even causing echoes in the deeper tunnels.

The so-called "serpent" was, in the end, just a motorcycle with a terrifying appearance.

However, in this straight and unbranched underground tunnel, a motorcycle with sufficient horsepower was the most terrifying weapon!

Just as Lin Wuming realized this, the motorcycle engine in front of him roared cheerfully, flying towards Lin Wuming like a cannonball!

Although it was a "motorcycle," whether it was due to special design or excessive power, it wasn't confined to moving on the ground; halfway through, it directly drove onto the wall, performing wall-running.

The speed easily exceeded 100 kilometers per hour!

This guy wants to kill me!

Lin Wuming saw the enemy's intention at a glance. This straightforward approach wasn't hard to guess.

"Fight, or retreat temporarily?" Lin Wuming pondered.

Fighting head-on with a high-speed motorcycle in this completely inescapable environment… Even if he wanted to fight, it shouldn't be done this way.

Lin Wuming's psychic barrier might… no, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the enemy's impact.

"No wonder they built such a long tunnel underground…" Lin Wuming thought to himself.

This was probably prepared for this guy, right?

Because she was completely wrapped in riding "armor" that looked quite high-end and sturdy, Lin Wuming couldn't see the enemy's true face.

But looking at her unique equipment and appearance, it wasn't hard to guess that this person was likely a cadre—or even one of the organizer's "fake prop" four.

"So… retreat?"

If he used his psychic abilities to move in the air, Lin Wuming's speed wouldn't be slow at all, and he could probably get rid of the motorcycle's impact.

"But…"

But Lin Wuming had decided to fight, to make a big scene. If he chickened out after encountering the first enemy, it would be too unreasonable.

So Lin Wuming hardened his heart, stood still, and took a stance to withstand the impact!

The motorcycle driver originally intended to "kill the enemy," so naturally she wouldn't hesitate at all upon seeing this, and crashed into him decisively.

Bang!

The next moment, she felt the vehicle beneath her shake violently, as if the wheels had hit something…

But she knew very well that her vehicle was the result of the latest technology development in Academy City—the "Dragon Knight" intelligent motorcycle.

Even when speeding on the Gobi Desert, this situation wouldn't occur.

So it could only be the "intruder" in front of her who was playing tricks.

She didn't panic. This level of disturbance couldn't interfere with the motorcycle's driving. The assisted driving system could perfectly resolve this "unexpected" situation…

In the next instant, the motorcycle lost control, the front was knocked off course by a huge force, and the vehicle crashed into the wall next to it, rider and all.

Or rather, it shouldn't be said that it "crashed" into it, but that it violently scraped against the wall.

Driven by the enormous inertia of the motorcycle, it slid for more than ten meters, with sparks and lightning all the way, before finally stopping.

"Unsafe driving brings tears to loved ones," Lin Wuming said unceremoniously, using his psychic abilities to grab the driver's head and smash it against the wall a few times with practiced skill.

Only when the rather sturdy helmet shattered, revealing a face full of blood, did Lin Wuming finally let go.

After thinking about it, he pulled her off the motorcycle and threw her aside; then he took out a small steel ball from his pocket.

Psychic Acceleration Cannon, blasting this dangerous offending vehicle into scrap metal with one shot.

Don't be fooled by how decisively this one enemy was dealt with, but in that instant just now, Lin Wuming did enter "bullet time"—the enemy's motorcycle impact brought Lin Wuming a "fatal crisis."

But it was precisely by using this time that Lin Wuming forcibly interfered with the enemy's control of the motorcycle with his psychic abilities.

Lin Wuming's psychic ability only had half a ton of output. Although it was impossible to directly block the motorcycle, it was more than enough to seize control of its front.

Thus, the scene just now occurred: the motorcycle scraped against the wall, while Lin Wuming took the opportunity to dodge to the opposite direction, avoiding the attack.

Confirming that this enemy had no chance of rising again, Lin Wuming continued forward.

Since there are enemies blocking the way, it proves that I'm going in the right direction!
