A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1 Falling and Crossing

A strong feeling of falling swept over my whole body, accompanied by equally strong panic and astonishment, as well as severe pain in the back of my head.

In 0.001 seconds, Lin Wang understood two things——

One, I traveled through time and replaced a certain unlucky guy in this world;
Second, this unlucky guy seemed to have "jumped off a building".

Lin Wang was falling from a high altitude at this time!

The reason he was "jumped from the building" was because he felt a heavy blow to the back of his head—but it didn't matter, because in two or three seconds, his brief journey through time would come to an end...

The cause and effect of the matter are meaningless unless you can fall from a height of dozens of meters and miraculously survive.

My body was tumbling uncontrollably in the air, and I could see it getting closer and closer to the ground. Perhaps it wouldn't take more than two or three seconds, just a blink of an eye, and everything would be over...

Maybe it was the legendary revolving lantern phenomenon, but it felt like time had slowed down, giving him plenty of time to let his thoughts wander.

But this is still meaningless. Apart from prolonging the despair of waiting for death, it does not help to solve the current desperate situation.

Unless a miracle happens and one suddenly awakens some ability to save oneself - such as the ability to fly.

Of course it's impossible! Even if I had a time travel gift pack, I couldn't use it in such a short time!
Suddenly, as if in response to his inner voice, a surge of "power" suddenly emerged from his body. A stream of "qi" emerged from his dantian, flowing through his limbs and bones. Lin Wang suddenly felt as light as a swallow and as powerful as a feather. It was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened up, and he felt as if he had achieved divine power.

I felt omnipotent—this was a life-or-death moment. What kind of magical skill had I mastered? So… had I traveled to a martial arts world?

Because I was reading martial arts novels before "traveling through time", so this development is reasonable...

Unfortunately, Lin Wang searched his memory and found that the original owner of this body did not seem to have learned any martial arts skills. But it didn’t matter. With such powerful internal strength, he wouldn’t die from the fall, right?
He couldn't believe that even though he had obtained the golden finger of time travel, he could still die so easily!
Anyone who has read martial arts novels knows that "internal force" can be released externally, which means that he has the reverse thrust that can be used to save himself.

Perhaps because his potential was stimulated between life and death, Lin Wang mastered the technique of "releasing internal force" without any instruction.

The powerful "internal force" surges in the body and finally gathers in the hands and feet.

Looking at the ground getting closer and closer, he tried his best to stay calm, imagining his limbs as "gun barrels" or "jet engines", blasting out energy towards the ground.

efficient!

Lin Wang's body seemed to be lifted up by a force, and then as if it hit an invisible barrier, the downward momentum suddenly slowed down.

But the threat was not completely eliminated. Slowing down just once was far from enough. The remaining speed was still enough to kill him, but he would only be reduced from a pool of flesh to a state where he could barely keep his body intact.

It doesn’t matter, it’s still about ten meters from the ground, which is enough time for two more “reverse thrust and deceleration”!

Ensure a safe landing.

But at this moment, after confirming that he could be saved, Lin Wang finally had the leisure to pay attention to other things...

For example, right below where he fell, there happened to be a pedestrian passing by.

The brain completed the deduction in an instant and slowed down twice as planned, which would just be the right time to use that unlucky guy as a blanket!

——He is just a child. At first glance, he looks like he is less than ten years old. If he is hit by me falling from the sky, even if I have reduced the speed to a safe level, I am afraid he will be in great danger, right?
Unfortunately, when I fell, I was so focused on saving myself that I didn't even scream, so I wasn't noticed by the pedestrians downstairs. What should I do?
Without the slightest hesitation - since he already had enough power to change the status quo, he must not implicate other innocent people!
So, Lin Wang adjusted the direction of his "internal force" spray twice in a row, causing his falling trajectory to deviate slightly, just enough to miss the innocent passerby boy.

But the price is...

Click click click...

The crisp sound of bone fracture can be heard particularly clearly. Is this what is called "bone conduction"?

This somewhat nonsensical thought first came to Lin Wang’s mind.

The limbs that hit the ground first to act as a cushion were all broken, and the internal organs were probably also ruptured and bleeding, right?
The only good news is that he did not implicate any innocent passers-by.

Besides, at least at this moment, I am still alive!

Finally, I survived!
"You..." A voice came from above. It must be the boy who was almost hit. But judging from the voice, he didn't seem to be panicking at all. "You...are you stupid?"

"Huh?" I didn't understand what the child was saying. Unfortunately, due to his serious injuries, I was unable to look up and see his face clearly.

"Why are you hiding?" the boy said, not disguising his disdain. "If you hadn't suddenly changed your trajectory, you wouldn't have ended up like this, right?"

Lin Wang tried hard but still failed. He felt something warm on his cheek against the ground - it was his own blood. He was lying in a pool of blood.

From this angle, only the boy's feet could be seen. A pool of blood flowed along the ground, but somehow it avoided his unusually clean shoes.

This was not normal - perhaps because he had not yet recovered from the state of "near-death revolving lantern", his mind was unusually calm, and he had not felt the severe pain from his body for a long time. He even had the leisure to pay attention to these insignificant details.

——Come to think of it, this boy’s hair is also pure white. Is he a foreigner?
Because his thinking was still in a state of accelerated pace, many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but in reality, his response was not slow.

"Because this is my own business, and I can't hurt innocent people by mistake." He stated his reasons bluntly.

"Oh, are you looking down on me?" Unexpectedly, the boy's tone was extremely arrogant. "Why would I care about a mere 40 kilograms of material? I was thinking of saving you, but who knew you'd be so clever..."

— He's young, yet boasts a lot. Considering this is a martial arts world, though, it's not impossible. The child's size and white hair perfectly fit the description of a martial arts master.

Lin Wang had no time to care about these things: "First... let's not talk about this for now. If it's convenient, how about calling an ambulance for me?"

The tension gradually faded, the effect of adrenaline seemed to be fading, and the horrible pain was setting in. To be honest, he really didn't want to face such torture!

"Someone's on the phone," the boy said. "Don't worry, it doesn't look like you'll die."

"Then, could you please knock me out?" he asked quickly. "I feel like I'm living a life worse than death."

Perhaps because of the inner strength that had just awakened, his spirit was extremely excited and he had no intention of fainting at all!
An ambiguous sneer came from above his head, and then Lin Wang lost consciousness as he wished.
