A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1175 The Girl Who Pulled the Trigger

Ellie has now transformed from an assassin into a normal person, no longer "ready to die" as before; normal people should be afraid of these reckless madmen.

“Nameless senior, he might really die…” Ellie couldn’t help but speak, but before she could finish, she was stopped by a look from Misaki Shokuhou.

Under the control of "mind control," Ellie found herself silenced and unable to utter a single word; moreover, she lost control of her body and could not move.

Lin Wuming calmly nodded: "I know the risks involved, but since we've come this far, I also want to explore my limits."

To be precise, it's the limit of "bullet time." As his strength increases, the number of truly threatening "fatal crises" for Lin Wuming decreases, and now even if he wanted to die, it wouldn't be so easy for him.

This is the real reason why Lin Wuming is so fearless—because it's really hard to die.

Until Lin Wuming saw Misaki Shokuhou pull a Dellinger pocket pistol out of her bag...

Lin Wuming recognized it at a glance; it was the same model as the pistol he used to use.

"Shokuhou, what is this?" Lin Wuming felt a sense of unease.

Turning his head again and glancing at Ellie's panicked and helpless expression, Lin Wuming realized that something about this "experiment" seemed to be different from what he had expected.

Why bring a gun?

"Of course it's for the experiment, Nameless Senior~" Misaki Shokuhou awkwardly checked the pistol and loaded it with bullets.

"Huh? You wouldn't be planning to..."

Lin Wuming originally thought that the method of the "experiment" would be the same as when Ellie tried to assassinate him before, using "thought mapping" to instill the image of death into his brain, thereby creating the effect of assassination.

But judging from the current situation, Misaki Shokuhou isn't planning to use the "death images" from Ellie's memories; instead, she intends to "kill them on the spot."

"What's so surprising?" Misaki Shokuhou asked calmly. "Didn't the nameless senior prepare for an adventure?"

“I was indeed prepared, but…” Lin Wuming pointed to the gun in the girl’s hand, “I don’t know what you’re going to do with it?”

"Is that even a question? Of course it's for experimentation." Misaki Shokuhou prepared herself. "With Nameless-senpai's current strength, there's no need to worry about this kind of weapon, right?"

Lin Wuming was indeed not afraid of the small pistol, but seeing Misaki Shokuhou holding it made him feel a surge of tension.

Misaki Shokuhou didn't explain much, but simply waved to Ellie beside her.

At this moment, Ellie was already under the control of "Mental Control," so she walked over without any resistance. She grabbed Lin Wuming's wrist with her left hand and held Misaki Shokuhou's left hand with her right hand, and then activated her ability "Thought Mapping."

In the case of direct physical contact, "Thought Mapping" takes effect immediately, and its effect is amplified under the influence of "Mental Mastery" at level 5.

Having become familiar with Misaki Shokuhou, Lin Wuming was finally able to confirm her plan—although it was somewhat unbelievable, this girl seemed to be planning to "seek death" herself!

Lin Wuming wanted to stop her crazy behavior, but found himself speechless.

Like Ellie, Lin Wuming also fell under the control of the Queen Bee.

“Nameless Senior~” Misaki Shokuhou extended her right index finger and touched Lin Wuming’s lips. “You trust him too much. He really has no defenses at all.”

Lin Wuming, a Level 5 psychic and currently one of the strongest espers, was easily controlled by Misaki Shokuhou, just like an ordinary person. —No, you're mistaken, Shokuhou!
Lin Wuming shouted in his heart. Although he couldn't speak, he knew that Misaki Shokuhou could hear his thoughts.

—This is my experiment, and I'm the only one who needs to take the risk! You've got it wrong…

Misaki Shokuhou did hear it, but she ignored it and instead raised her pistol, aiming it at her temple.

—Shokuhou, it's no use doing this! Even if we connect through "memory mapping," I'll be fine, but you really will die!
Lin Wuming was extremely anxious and completely panicked.

He realized that what Misaki Shokuhou had said was true; he was indeed completely unprepared for "psychological control."

Not only can't they speak or move, but even their Nen abilities have been "sealed."

In other words, he was unable to stop Misaki Shokuhou's crazy actions.

"Nameless senior, don't worry about her yet. If you don't get serious, you really will die," said Misaki Shokuhou. "She's acting with genuine killing intent, so please be careful!"

Misaki Shokuhou's killing intent seemed genuine, and her determination was unwavering.

Under the horrified gazes of Lin Wuming and Ellie, the Mad Queen pulled the trigger...

……

The girl calmly pulled the trigger, a crisp gunshot rang out, and was immediately absorbed by the thick snow around her. Silence returned once more.

The bullet left the barrel and hit the target 300 meters away accurately in the blink of an eye, without the slightest deviation.

Achieving such accuracy using an old-fashioned rifle that is not equipped with a scope and only uses iron sights is commendable.

The girl grabbed the Mosin-Nagant rifle and left the sniper position with standard tactical maneuvers, winding her way through the trenches until she quickly returned to a forward position.

"What were the results?" the commander asked.

The commander, dressed in a Soviet winter uniform from World War II, was also a young girl, and she looked exactly like the sniper girl.

"Target hit, but unfortunately, Misaka's hands remain unstained today," Misaka replied with a sigh. The sniper, Misaka, patted her beloved gun.

"Puppet again? But that's not a bad thing; it's good that no one was killed," Commander Misaka said. "The Nameless Senior didn't like us killing people."

“Nameless senior…” Sniper Misaka made herself a cup of instant coffee. “I heard we’re going to implement a rotation system? Everyone will take turns exchanging mission territories with their comrades back home. Misaka is trying to find out the latest information.”

“We obtain the same information through the Misaka Network, so there’s no need for you to ask me anything.” Commander Misaka shook her head. “I don’t know more than you do.”

“But now we’re out of contact, aren’t we?” Misaka sighed, reflecting on the unpredictability of life. Hugging her hot cup for warmth, Sniper Misaka lamented, “I wonder if the Supreme Commander and Onee-sama have noticed that 293 of us here are without internet access.”

“We’ll find out. Reinforcements might already be on their way,” Commander Misaka said. “Maybe it’s Onee-sama and the Nameless Senior who will personally lead the charge.”

"If only it were them," Misaka prayed with anticipation.
