A Scientific Urban Detective

"Now that everyone's here, let's get out of here quickly," Lin Wuming said hurriedly, seeing that the girls were all safe and sound. "Don't worry, the security forces should be arriving soon. Once you leave this building, you'll be safe and free!"

"They really came, Hero!" Just then, a petite girl with light blue hair cheered and rushed forward happily.

Then, Hufeng Toumi grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back, "Wuming is still injured, don't mess around!"

The girl—Egorolei Axe—laughed "Wahahaha," but she didn't look disappointed or scared.

As if to protect her, another light blue-haired girl pulled Egorolei Axe back, "Forgive Egorolei's impulsiveness, she has always liked and admired heroes."

Shirakage Sekka stepped forward and said, "Alright, let's leave here quickly. We can talk about anything else after we're safe."

Lin Wuming nodded, "That's right, let's get out of here quickly. Stay close to me and don't get separated."

Hufeng Toumi suddenly said, "Where's that girl? She's suddenly gone!"

The one who disappeared was Tsurigane Saryou.

"Saryou has things to do, don't worry about her," Haruake Uimi said. "We'll leave first, and she'll meet us outside."

They had their own plans, and considering Tsurigane Saryou's strength, Lin Wuming didn't dwell on it and led everyone out along the fastest route.

Of course, Hufeng Toumi was actually the one leading the way. If Lin Wuming had to find his own way, unless he jumped out the window, he would probably wander around this unfamiliar building for at least half an hour before finding the way out.

On the way out, they were surprised not to encounter any resistance. The occasional enemies—armed security guards and researchers—were lying in pools of blood, motionless.

"Don't look," Lin Wuming said quickly, taking into account the emotions of the other three girls.

But the reminder came too late, and the bloody scene was witnessed by all five. Somewhat unexpectedly, Haruake Uimi and Shirakage Sekka remained unusually calm, not at all frightened by the bodies on the ground.

As for Egorolei Axe, she spent most of her time in an abnormal mental state, either immersed in her own fantasies or looking at Lin Wuming with a silly grin, completely oblivious to the bodies on the ground.

Hufeng Toumi was even more accustomed to such scenes. Not only was she not afraid, but she even took the initiative to go forward and examine them.

"They're all dead," she said, returning with a natural expression. "Don't worry about them."

"Let's get out of here," Lin Wuming said with a frown.

Even though he had "personally" killed many people, Lin Wuming still felt uncomfortable with human corpses and instinctively didn't want to approach them.

The five-person team continued to move forward in silence. As they got closer and closer to the door, the encounters with corpses became more and more common. When they reached the first floor, the strong smell of blood had filled the entire space.

Everyone looked terrible, and even Hufeng Toumi frowned, "A lot of people have died."

"Have they really turned on each other to this extent?" Lin Wuming was a little surprised.

You should know that along the way, although he and Hufeng Toumi had knocked down and injured many people, they had not actually killed anyone. So the only possibility for the dead here was that they had killed each other in internal strife.

"No," Hufeng Toumi said, shaking her head after returning from another examination of the bodies. "A considerable number of people were killed by sharp weapons, mostly with their throats or temples pierced. The technique was skilled and decisive, and they even made sure to stab them in the heart… The person who did this was a professional."

She concluded, "This was a one-sided massacre. Most of the dead were those who had been knocked down by us earlier and were unable to fight."

"Knocked down by us…" Lin Wuming leaned forward slightly to examine the bodies and found that they did indeed have stab wounds from Hufeng Toumi's rapier.

"Who killed them?" Lin Wuming muttered to himself.

But in reality, he already knew. Besides the Koka ninja who was not present, who else could it be?

—Another ruthless killer! She's just as ruthless as Hufeng!

Lin Wuming thought to himself, but Tsurigane Saryou was currently an ally on his side, so there was no need to dwell on it too much. Besides, it seemed that there was really no need to worry about Tsurigane Saryou's safety.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first," Lin Wuming urged again.

Although the crisis had been resolved, this place was unsuitable for lingering on another level.

After grasping the situation, the group of five no longer lingered and ran out of the research institute in one breath.

Unsurprisingly, outside the research institute, a convoy of police cars and ambulances was on standby.

A security force led by Kamikazari Konori was preparing to storm into the research institute to find people.

Seeing Lin Wuming in a wheelchair appearing at the door, Kamikazari Konori breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she carefully observed Hufeng Toumi and found that she didn't have any blood on her, so she felt even more relieved.

"They actually brought them out…" As for the other security guards behind her, they focused their attention on the other three girls behind Lin Wuming.

Just by looking at their attire, they knew that these were children who were test subjects in the research institute.

Two slightly older girls carried a smaller girl, following Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi as they ran out of the research institute—this scene immediately reminded people of the "Black Moon Technology" case not long ago.

Obviously, this time, Lin Wuming had also rescued the victimized children from this "Boundary Exploration" research institute.

"These children are…" Kamikazari Konori asked, then immediately noticed Egorolei Axe, who was clearly in an abnormal state. "Doctor! Come and check on this child!"

After handing the three rescued children over to the other security guards, Kamikazari Konori refocused her attention on Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi, "Are you two alright?"

Getting closer, she could smell a strong bloody scent, which made Kamikazari Konori's heart rise again.

"We're fine," Lin Wuming shook his head, then looked back, "But the situation inside…"

Before he could finish speaking, they heard a loud bang from inside the research institute.

At the same time, a violent explosion occurred in a room on the fifth floor of the building. Flames and shockwaves shattered the glass and shot out of the window.

"…" Lin Wuming looked up at the scene above.

"Call the fire brigade quickly!" Kamikazari Konori shouted back, "Control the scene, the others follow me in to search for trapped personnel."

"You two," Kamikazari Konori said sternly, looking at the two young boys and girls she was responsible for taking care of, "Wait in my car, and don't go anywhere until I get back!"
