A Scientific Urban Detective

"Target broke free from the illusion, switching to backup plan A!"

However, this was also within their expectations. After all, this time's target was the recently famous 'suspected level 5', 'nameless board member' Lin Wuming. It was normal for him to be more difficult to kill than previous targets.

Therefore, the 'Illusionist' on the rooftop did not panic and continued to activate his ability, rearranging the illusion.

"Magician, it's up to you!"

"OK, give me two seconds!" The companion next to him made a gesture, then kicked over the large flower pot beside him, spilling the soil inside.

Under the 'Magician's' control, the soil floated into the air, taking shape and then compressing and hardening, becoming as hard as high-temperature fired ceramic.

These were slender and sharp cones, with even a glaze reflecting on the surface, making them appear very sharp.

Under the 'Magician's' control, these cones fell towards Lin Wuming...

To stop his falling body, Lin Wuming ignored the scene before him and crashed towards the wall!

Of course, there was no sensation of colliding with the wall at all; his body passed through it.

But such a realistic illusion still made people involuntarily tense up, subconsciously preparing to meet the impact.

This is a human instinct, difficult to completely avoid.

The enemy seemed to have seized this 'weakness', taking the opportunity to unfold a 'roller coaster' scene before Lin Wuming's eyes...

Although Lin Wuming knew rationally that his body had not moved an inch, the rapidly receding scene before him would inevitably create the illusion that he was 'riding a roller coaster'.

"They really have all sorts of strange abilities." Lin Wuming simply closed his eyes, cutting off the enemy's interference at the source.

At the same time, Lin Wuming released his telekinetic tentacles to observe the surrounding environment in place of his vision.

There are four official members of the 'Ghoul Squad'. As a professional 'assassination' organization, their abilities are also specifically tailored for assassination.

The four of them can be roughly divided into two groups, distinguished by their 'working methods'—'Oxygen Manipulation' and 'Matter Transposition' are the 'Suffocation Group'; 'Illusionist' and 'Magician' are the 'Illusion-Kill Group'.

When the 'suffocation' attack failed, the 'Suffocation Group' retreated and decisively changed to an 'illusion' attack. Using 'Matter Transposition' to grab Lin Wuming and throw him directly into the 'secret room' illusion, but in reality, it was letting Lin Wuming fall from a thirty-story building.

The 'Ghoul Squad's' style is like this. If not necessary, they never like to directly kill the target 'with their own hands'.

Instead, they prefer to use methods such as 'suffocation' and 'falling' to disguise it as accidental death.

This makes the cleanup work very simple, and they can even simply not clean up. Even if the guard force investigates, it is difficult to determine whether the victim died from 'homicide'.

However, Lin Wuming successively resolved their two attacks, with both 'suffocation kill' and 'illusion kill' failing.

Therefore, the 'Magician' decisively took action, no longer pursuing the 'undetectable' execution of the mission target, but chose mission priority, killing the target at all costs!

The 'Magician's' ability is level 4 'No-Fire Kiln', which can manipulate mud or sand, constructing it into any shape, and compress and harden these mud shapes, without the need for high-temperature firing, yet can make it reach a hardness comparable to ceramic.

Because the materials are almost readily available, and the operation is simple and quick, his 'No-Fire Kiln' can continuously produce high-strength ammunition, and its lethality should not be underestimated.

The 'Magician' has therefore become the last insurance of the 'Ghoul Squad'—once the 'assassination' is not smooth, he will be sent out to change the assassination to a strong kill!

Paired with the 'Illusionist's' level 4 great ability 'Visual Deception', their combination has been invincible since their debut!

This time is no exception. Lin Wuming is trapped in the 'roller coaster illusion' constructed by 'Visual Deception'. Although this is only a deception aimed at vision, the key is that even if he knows that this is a false image, under the overly strong and realistic visual stimulation, even just seeing such a scene, it is inevitable that he will be affected!

It's like watching a highly realistic 3D movie. Even if the audience is mentally prepared, they will still instinctively react when encountering thrilling scenes.

For the 'Illusionist' and 'Magician' combination, this is enough.

They do not seek to completely deceive the target with illusions, nor do they hope to directly kill the target through illusions; as long as the target is slightly disturbed by the illusion, becomes more sluggish, and fails to detect the conical 'earth thorns' shot in front of them in time, that is enough.

But they did not expect that Lin Wuming had already seen through the 'illusion' trick and made targeted countermeasures—closing his eyes and not looking.

And the telekinetic tentacles he released in place of vision launched a carpet search of the surrounding space.

Then, as expected, the telekinetic tentacles captured a hard object flying towards him.

"Found it!"

Lin Wuming opened his eyes. In the intensely moving background environment, two earth-colored slender cones were very abruptly stuck in a position not far in front of him, somewhat out of place with the surrounding 'roller coaster' scenery.

The latest novels are first published on Six Nine Book Bar!

Although these cones are very hard, the kinetic energy contained in them is very limited, and they are easily blocked by Lin Wuming's telekinetic tentacles.

—It seems that the enemy's ability is only to create such cones, and does not include launching them.

It can be further inferred that these cones are flying according to inertia; that is to say, as long as the trajectory of their flight is reversed, the enemy's location can be found!

Lin Wuming took out a small steel ball.

Just at this moment, the 'roller coaster illusion' in front of him suddenly dissipated!

Lin Wuming was finally able to see the real environment he was in—suspended in mid-air in the 'mid-mountain' position of a high-rise building, more than ten meters away from the roof.

Moreover, in addition to the two cones captured by the telekinetic tentacles, there were more conical spikes constantly falling from the roof!

But fortunately, Lin Wuming had not actually left the 'bullet time' state, so he had such ample time to see all of this clearly.

You must know that this is actually just the 'Illusionist' adjusting his tactics, switching 'illusions' in order to launch a new round of attacks.

Converted into time, I am afraid it is only less than a millisecond, which can hardly be regarded as a 'flaw'.

Unfortunately, in Lin Wuming's eyes at this time, a millisecond is long enough.

The two figures on the roof, 'frozen' there like sculptures, were perfect targets.

Therefore, 'Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon', fire!
