A Scientific Urban Detective

Lin Wuming continuously repeated the operation of using his Nen ability to launch small steel balls, while advancing forward.

Following the same method, on the way to his destination, Lin Wuming successively defeated four waves of research institute staff.

If he hadn't consciously recovered some of the steel balls later, he would probably have been in the embarrassing situation of "running out of ammunition."

Tiger Wasp Honey faithfully played the role of a guard, not leaving Lin Wuming's side for even half a step, and therefore didn't get a chance to attack.

All the enemies encountered were knocked down by Lin Wuming's small steel balls.

"Tsk!" The girl waved the rapier in her hand unwillingly, with the urge to poke the already fallen enemies a few times.

"Tiger Wasp, they have been knocked down," Lin Wuming said, "Don't waste time on them."

In fact, the enemies knocked down by Lin Wuming were still alive. He restrained his power when he attacked—after all, it was impossible to use the "Nen-powered Acceleration Cannon" level of attack to bombard humans.

Tiger Wasp Honey had just said that it was anti-tank missile level power!

Lin Wuming simply accelerated the small steel balls and launched them. The power would not be greater than an old-fashioned black powder flintlock gun.

The armed security guards were equipped with bulletproof vests, so even if they were hit in the chest, they would not die. At most, they would break a few ribs or have internal organ rupture.

As for those white-coated researchers, Lin Wuming attacked non-lethal areas such as the limbs, so they shouldn't die either.

Lin Wuming was not really a "killing maniac" after all. He still wanted to enjoy a peaceful new life in this city, so if there was a choice, he would not choose the "killing" option.

He would even restrain Tiger Wasp Honey from killing.

In any case, "killing" is always a kind of attrition to the spirit and personality. If the attrition is too great, it is very likely that you will never be able to go back.

Tiger Wasp Honey did not attack, and a strange look appeared in her pair of green eyes: "Mercy on the battlefield is the most foolish behavior."

"This is not a battlefield, and they are not enemies…" Lin Wuming thought for a while, then corrected himself, "Okay, they are enemies, but they are not worth killing. Tiger Wasp, don't waste time and energy on them!"

"…It seems you're not completely on my side," Tiger Wasp Honey muttered to herself.

Then, as if provoking him, she flashed her sword like lightning, stabbing more than a dozen bloody holes in the enemies at her feet.

But none of them were vital points.

Lin Wuming couldn't help but gasp inwardly, feeling the seven wounds previously inflicted on him by this girl using the same technique throbbing faintly.

Even though those injuries had long since healed…

As she walked forward, Tiger Wasp Honey waved the rapier in her hand, leaving seven bloody holes in every enemy she passed.

This kind of stabbing had become an action imprinted in Tiger Wasp Honey's body instinct. Along the way, her speed was not affected in the slightest.

Lin Wuming manipulated the wheelchair to keep up.

"Lin Wuming, you didn't stop me," the girl said, turning her head because there were no more enemies to attack ahead.

"Because you didn't kill them."

"Hmph, hypocritical!" Tiger Wasp Honey said.

"Because I still want to live an ordinary and peaceful life."

"Heh, naive!"

"I would call it idealism…" Lin Wuming responded, and suddenly shouted, "Who!"

Ten small steel balls were arranged in a circle around his head, ready to be launched.

"'Hero' Lin Wuming?" A girl's voice came from above.

Lin Wuming looked up.

The smooth and flat ceiling was empty, without a single figure.

"She's over there, Wuming!" Tiger Wasp Honey pointed her rapier in one direction.

Behind an indoor potted plant used for decoration, the shadow wriggled for a while, and then a figure appeared.

This girl simply made a camouflage suit out of green leaves and hid behind the potted plant.

Lin Wuming and Tiger Wasp Honey had passed by just now, but they hadn't noticed anything.

If Lin Wuming hadn't habitually used his Nen ability as "radar" to "scan" his surroundings every so often, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this hidden girl.

But even after noticing the abnormality behind the potted plant, Lin Wuming was still deceived by the sound at the moment and looked at the ceiling.

Lin Wuming was surprised. He knew that this was not any superpower, but a pure "skill"—a ninja's skill.

"Tsurigane Saryou," Lin Wuming called out the girl's name.

Among Crocodile River Rake's companions, only Tsurigane Saryou, who came from the Koga ninja clan, could do this.

"Crocodile River told you?" Tsurigane Saryou was a little surprised. "You came earlier than I expected."

According to Tsurigane Saryou's original plan, she should have encountered the "hero" Lin Wuming, who had just arrived to respond, after she had defeated the enemies of the research institute, burned the database, and escaped with her companions.

She didn't dare to completely trust others when it came to life-and-death matters.

But she didn't expect that Lin Wuming would arrive so quickly and rush in without hesitation…

Although he hadn't killed a single person—Tsurigane Saryou had also secretly observed them for a while and found that Lin Wuming only injured and knocked down the enemies, making them lose their ability to fight.

In this regard, Tsurigane Saryou, who came from a ninja background, had a lot in common with Tiger Wasp Honey—an enemy is an enemy, and only a dead enemy is a good enemy.

Therefore, all the way, Tsurigane Saryou secretly followed behind Lin Wuming and the others, giving all the enemies knocked down by Lin Wuming a finishing blow to ensure that no one was left alive!

Lin Wuming certainly didn't know what the girl in front of him had done. His understanding of Tsurigane Saryou came entirely from the original plot—a mentally abnormal, crazy girl who longed to be killed by her master's own hands.

In addition, she was just a very capable "ordinary girl," who was not particularly special in Academy City.

At this moment, in Lin Wuming's view, whether she was a ninja or an esper, she only had one identity—an experimental subject who needed to be rescued by himself.

"Where are the others?" Lin Wuming asked, "Where are they? Is anyone injured?"

"Don't worry, everyone is safe and no one is injured," Tsurigane Saryou led the way in front. "Because we found out that you had broken in, we immediately adjusted our plan, chose to find a place to hide, and waited for rescue."

Soon after, in a utility room, Lin Wuming saw the other three girls.

Apart from being stained with some dust and looking a little embarrassed, everyone was safe and sound.

Including Shirakinu Hirumi, who should have died, was also unharmed.
