A Scientific Urban Detective

Infiltration and finding weaknesses in defense systems have always been the specialty of Tsurigane Teahouse. With prior reconnaissance and the "insider" assistance of Ao Hoshi Suzuran, she was able to find the "backup system" more easily.

Moreover, Tsurigane Teahouse had cleverly made a distinction—she only cut off the control system of the "AIM diffusion field interference device" without touching the other functions of the system. As a result, the prison guards hiding in the secret room were completely unaware, only finding it strange—why were Lin Wuming and the others not affected?

As Lin Wuming and his companions arrived at the entrance of the secret room, they happened to encounter the unfortunate president and chief researcher of the Alpha Space Research Institute, and they also noticed the huge blood arrow on the ground.

Forced to act, the prison guard captain activated another mechanism.

A special setup originally designed to suppress large-scale prison riots—hypnotic gas.

In an instant, potent hypnotic gas filled the corridors of the entire building…

Because the gas was silent and sudden, only Kobachi Mitsubachi was alerted immediately.

"Careful, something's wrong!" But Kobachi Mitsubachi only had a premonition of danger, without knowing where it came from.

Immediately afterward, the president and chief researcher of the Alpha Space Research Institute both collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Then, Lin Wuming, who was sitting in a wheelchair and had the lowest "altitude," suddenly felt drowsy—the hypnotic gas was seeping out from the cracks in the floor and walls, spreading gradually from the bottom up.

Having learned a lesson from being drugged before, Lin Wuming was very vigilant against such hypnotic attacks.

Realizing the source of the danger, Lin Wuming immediately held his breath and then, centered on himself, pushed out a psychic barrier to isolate all the hypnotic gas.

Of course, the girls around him were also included in his protection.

"Is it poison gas?" Misaki Shokuhou covered her mouth and nose, frowning as she asked, "I'm having trouble breathing."

"There's nothing wrong with the air itself," Lin Wuming said. "I've already isolated the poison gas, but the side effect is that the air around us will be relatively thin."

That's why it feels like it's hard to breathe.

But this wasn't a big problem. Lin Wuming manipulated his telekinesis to form a "telekinesis acceleration cannon" barrel, extending it hundreds of meters away—already reaching outside through the ventilation duct at the end of the corridor.

Not firing a "telekinesis acceleration cannon," but simply using it as a ventilation pipe, was enough to provide them with plenty of air.

"Don't move yet, Misaka."

Misaka Mikoto was already flashing with electricity, about to launch a counterattack, but Lin Wuming stopped her.

Right now, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Even if Misaka Mikoto's attack is powerful, it's meaningless if she can't find the enemy.

"Lure the enemy out first." Lin Wuming used telekinetic blocks to send his voice directly to the girls' ears.

Kobachi Mitsubachi reacted the fastest, decisively falling over with her wheelchair, pretending to be poisoned and unconscious.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto and Misaki Shokuhou followed suit, falling onto Lin Wuming's wheelchair.

Keisaku Misaki couldn't help but roll her eyes, too embarrassed to join in the fun, so she slowly sat down against the wall.

As the concentration of hypnotic gas in the air gradually increased, it changed from transparent and colorless to a pure white gas like smoke.

Soon, it covered the entire corridor.

Under the cover of this "thick fog," the enemy finally appeared.

The prison guards, wearing gas masks, walked out of their hiding secret room, holding weapons, and surrounded Lin Wuming and his companions.

At the same time, the automatic robot system equipped in the prison building was activated, and these "robot guards" surrounded them from another direction.

It was a clear attempt to wipe out Lin Wuming and his companions in one fell swoop.

"Wuming-senpai, you're so thoughtful!" Misaki Shokuhou exclaimed admiringly, "Did you expect to encounter this situation?"

Obviously, the enemy didn't know that the two Level 5s, "Railgun" Misaka Mikoto and "Mental Out" Misaki Shokuhou, were by Lin Wuming's side.

Otherwise, there was no way they would have used this method to throw themselves into the net.

The prison guards encountering "Mental Out" and the robots encountering "Railgun" were both meaningless acts of suicide.

"I didn't expect this, but it can be considered a pleasant surprise." Lin Wuming said.

The purpose of his arrangement of Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto "not participating in this operation" was simply to avoid causing excessive attention from all parties.

After all, the two Level 5s acting together with him was too eye-catching, which would make many things inconvenient.

The result, of course, need not be said. The prison guards and robot forces were completely annihilated, silently.

Those who didn't know might have thought that the prison guards were also hypnotized by these hypnotic gases.

Lin Wuming didn't even have a chance to make a move. He only needed to maintain the "barrier" around them to ensure they could breathe normally.

Kobachi Mitsubachi, who didn't get a chance to attack, was a little dissatisfied. She drew her sword and looked around, wanting to find a few enemies who could still move, but found nothing.

"How boring…" Kobachi Mitsubachi complained, pouting.

Completely opposite to the girl's mood, the prison guard captain's heart was half cold.

As the commander, he didn't rashly go out and directly participate in the battle, and thus survived.

However, due to the cover of the "thick fog," he didn't see clearly what happened.

He only knew that his subordinates were inexplicably wiped out.

He didn't know what strange superpower Lin Wuming used…

Yes, until now, he still hadn't thought that Misaka Mikoto and Misaki Shokuhou were on the scene.

"Captain, what do we do?" a subordinate prison guard asked again, "The AIM diffusion field interference device outside seems to be失效了, and there seems to be a very strange esper among the enemies."

The prison guards thought this surprise attack would easily capture Lin Wuming and his companions, so they brazenly launched the attack.

Unexpectedly, it turned into this situation…

What if Lin Wuming and his companions sent a signal and summoned the outside guard forces?

"Things have come to this…" The prison guard captain gritted his teeth. Since he was already in a situation where he couldn't back down, he could only go all the way to the end. "We can only kill them first!"

He didn't originally plan to cause casualties—that way, there would be no way to explain to the guard forces—but he couldn't care too much at this point.

At that time, he would just say that someone was breaking into the prison, triggering the prison building's automatic defense system, resulting in accidental deaths…

After making up his mind, the prison guard captain ordered: "Activate the ultimate weapon 001!"
