A Scientific Urban Detective

Lin Wuming unleashed a "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" at his enemy, a strike launched with the resolve to kill. After all, they had made their intentions to kill him clear, so he naturally had no reason to hold back.

But unexpectedly, the enemy's reaction speed was astonishing. Faced with Lin Wuming's sudden counterattack, they were still able to mount a defense in time...

In "Bullet Time" mode, Lin Wuming could clearly see a large amount of soil gathering in front of the two enemies on the rooftop, then solidifying and rapidly transforming into a sturdy earth wall.

Keep in mind, this was all happening in super-accelerated time. If it were normal speed, this earth wall could probably be considered to have formed 'instantaneously,' right?

The earth wall, formed at the critical moment, managed to block Lin Wuming's cannon, and what astonished him even more was the wall's hardness.

Lin Wuming's "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" collided head-on with the wall, producing a crisp sound of metal clashing against metal. The small steel balls, still not melted, struck as if hitting steel armor!

Or rather, like a pebble shattering glass, the enemy's defensive 'earth wall' shattered into countless small pieces with a crisp breaking sound—the wall exhibited strength and performance far exceeding what 'soil' should possess.

To make a comparison, it was more like some kind of specially hardened ceramic material—the kind specifically used to manufacture tank armor.

Lin Wuming's "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" was indeed powerful, but in a head-on collision with 'tank armor,' it exhausted all of its kinetic energy. Apart from the flying armor fragments, it failed to inflict significant damage on the enemies hiding behind it!

It was obvious that this 'military-grade armor' earth wall was some kind of superpower effect.

Lin Wuming immediately realized—it wasn't just the 'earth wall'; the conical 'earth spikes' that had been fired at him earlier must have been made of the same material.

With the 'lethal crisis' averted, Lin Wuming deactivated "Bullet Time" mode.

However, before that, he seized the last bit of time to launch another "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon."

However, having taken a hit, the enemy also realized the power of this attack and had long since retreated and dodged. They wouldn't dare to stay in place and directly withstand Lin Wuming's attack.

Therefore, Lin Wuming's second "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" completely missed its target. And by the time he flew to the rooftop, the two enemies had already disappeared, leaving only scattered soil...

Using the "No-Fire Kiln" to generate ceramic armor was the "Magician's" most prized defensive technique.

Since his debut, he had relied on this move to block many attacks. Because he had never fought a Level 5, his "Absolute Defense" had never been broken.

This was also why he dared to use his defense to directly withstand the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" earlier.

Although he already knew about Lin Wuming's ultimate technique from the target's intelligence, he didn't take it too seriously because he was confident in his powerful defense.

The result...

Although his "Absolute Defense" did block Lin Wuming's attack, it was also the first time he had witnessed "Absolute Defense" being violently destroyed at close range!

In addition to the enormous psychological shock, the "Magician's" body was also severely damaged.

—Who said that blocking a 'cannonball' head-on would leave you unscathed?

The enormous kinetic energy carried by the "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon" didn't just disappear; it was transferred.

The ceramicized, hard barrier shattered into countless fragments, like a fragmentation grenade exploding at close range. Each fragment transformed into a terrifying, potentially lethal weapon.

The "Magician," who was close at hand, was peppered with fragments all over his face. If he hadn't erected a second defensive barrier in time, he probably would have been riddled with holes.

Now, how could he dare to be careless? He no longer cared about his pride and dignity and loudly called for his companion to rescue him...

When Lin Wuming launched the second "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon," the "Magician" was repelled by the shockwave from the previous blast, which happened to allow him to avoid the attack. Immediately afterward, he didn't dare to continue fighting and decisively fled.

Among the "Corpse Eater Squad's" four members, there was a Level 4 spatial ability user called "Material Transposition." It was he who had rescued the "Phantom Kill" duo from the rooftop of the building at the critical moment.

According to their usual training procedure, when faced with a strong counterattack from the assassination target, the "Magician" volunteered to stay behind and cover the retreat, while "Material Transposition," hiding in the rear, rescued the "Illusionist" as soon as possible and sent enough soil to the "Magician" as raw material for his ability.

Originally, according to their expectations, the "Magician" should have been able to hold back the target with his powerful defense, allowing the "Suffocation Kill" team in the distance to launch another round of attacks. No matter how fierce the target was, they definitely wouldn't be able to withstand such a series of attacks.

But they didn't expect that the first one to fail would be the "Magician!"

After directly withstanding a "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannon," he felt pain all over his body. Even if he was told that all of his ribs were broken, the "Magician" probably wouldn't be too surprised.

In a panic, the "Magician" decisively called for help from the rear, asking "Material Transposition" to rescue him.

So, when Lin Wuming arrived on the rooftop, he only saw soil all over the ground—these were all the effects of "Material Transposition's" ability activation.

"They escaped?" Lin Wuming frowned.

He had been inexplicably ambushed—and the enemies had almost succeeded—how could he let such dangerous enemies escape?

"As expected of professionals; they're quite skilled at escaping," Lin Wuming stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking around.

Lin Wuming knew a little about the superpower category of "spatial ability users"—mainly by referring to Shirai Kuroko's "Teleportation" from the original work.

Regardless of the type of "spatial ability," almost all of them had the same limitations—they had to use their abilities within their line of sight or have sufficient understanding of the surrounding spatial environment beforehand.

Otherwise, if they made a mistake and moved themselves or someone else into a wall, causing a physical 'clipping' phenomenon, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, the enemy's spatial ability user was likely in a place that could be directly seen with normal vision.

Standing high and looking down, Lin Wuming surveyed the surrounding environment.

As expected, he saw several figures escaping on the rooftop of another building about three hundred meters away.

Without hesitation, Lin Wuming launched two "Telekinetic Acceleration Cannons" in that direction, then took to the air and chased after them.

A straight-line distance of three hundred meters was just a blink of an eye for Lin Wuming.

But unfortunately, the enemy had a spatial ability user.

When Lin Wuming arrived, he only saw two air conditioner units that had been violently torn down and used for "Material Transposition" on the rooftop. As for the "Corpse Eater Squad's" four members, they had already moved to the rooftop of another building.
