A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 687 Trap
When we entered the building, the front desk was empty, and there was no staff on the entire floor.

"Has this place really been captured?" Lin Wuming also muttered, "Tsk, what a hassle."

If it weren't for the inexplicable "threatening phone call" just now, Lin Wuming would not have come here in person to check the situation, and of course he would not have to face such a difficult problem at the moment.

"There's no other way. Let's go upstairs." Lin Wuming sighed, "We can only search each floor."

"Maybe," Tiger Bee Toumi looked at the ground beneath her feet, "it's underground?"

Based on past experience, people like to hide illegal experiments in underground facilities.

If the Study Group wants to cause trouble, it seems normal for them to keep their secrets underground.

"That makes sense." Lin Wuming nodded, "Then let's find the stairs leading underground first."

"Wuming," Tiger Bee Toumi asked as they walked, "Are you really not worried about them?"

Because he knew Lin Wuming very well, Hufeng Toumi could clearly feel that Lin Wuming was not very anxious at the moment.

"Don't worry." Lin Wuming said calmly, "They are two Level 5s, plus two Level 4s, Hokaze Junko and Shirai Kuroko. On paper, their strength is twice as strong as ours."

As Lin Wuming moved forward, he released his telekinesis to issue a warning.

In fact, he was almost certain that the target of the phone call just now was himself.

—Someone wanted me to come here.

But it is still unclear what the purpose of that mysterious man is.

Anonymous reporting? Or a collateral damage?
Lin Wuming's reputation as a "hero" has been around for a long time. When it comes to matters related to illegal experiments, he is indeed a "knife" that is easy to borrow.

On the other hand, Lin Wuming's enemies can also use this to plot against him.

I just don't know what the situation is this time.

"Is that so?" Tiger Bee Toumi responded nonchalantly, observing her surroundings warily. "After all, it was Wuming who wanted to come. After all, you're not the kind of person who's willing to just hide in the back and watch a fight."

"So in your minds, I am such a restless person?" Lin Wuming complained.

To be honest, if he could really follow his heart, Lin Wuming would not want to get involved in those troublesome things from the beginning.

"What if," Tomi Tomi suddenly asked after a while, "What if what was said on the phone was true, and something really happened to Misaka and Shokuhou, what would Wuming do?"

"..." Lin Wuming first showed a helpless expression, thinking that the tiger bee was making some groundless assumptions.

But when he turned around, he met the girl's gaze staring straight at him.

—Ah, this girl is serious.

Lin Wuming was shocked, and then subconsciously began to think seriously.

"If it's true..." Lin Wuming frowned and found that he couldn't imagine such a scene.

In the original plot, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki are the heroines. They may encounter difficulties and may even fail temporarily, but they will definitely succeed in the end.

Of course, as the protagonists, no matter what difficult situation they encounter, their lives will not be in danger - this is a matter of course.

So Lin Wuming never thought about the worst situation at all.

But... now this is not an original story, but the real world.

The cruelty of the real world is that anything is possible.

"If that's true..." Lin Wuming muttered expressionlessly, "then everything would be turned upside down..."

Hearing Lin Wuming's answer, which seemed like he was talking to himself, Hufeng Toumi seemed very satisfied and stretched out his hand to Lin Wuming with a smile. Just as his fingertips were about to touch Lin Wuming's face, Hufeng Toumi's eyes sternly changed his action and grabbed Lin Wuming's collar.

The girl's slender arms tensed instantly, outlining the beautiful lines of muscles. In an instant, she burst out with tremendous strength, and was about to throw Lin Wuming behind her.

Lin Wuming's reaction was even faster. He didn't bother to continue playing the role of a disabled person. He jumped up from the wheelchair at the first moment, followed the strength of the girl's arms and threw himself into her arms, knocking the tiger bee honey away.

However, the girl still held on to Lin Wuming's collar tightly and refused to let go, stubbornly wanting to retreat with Lin Wuming.

"Electricity!" Immediately afterwards, Tiger Bee Toumi shouted loudly.

At the same time, her face was illuminated by a dazzling light.

With these two clues, even without looking back, Lin Wuming knew what was happening behind him.

So Lin Wuming kicked without thinking and kicked his wheelchair away.

Because of his previous battle with Misaka Mikoto, Lin Wuming specially modified his wheelchair into a material with top-notch conductivity, and through the special setting of the tires, he achieved good grounding.

In other words, it is a "lightning rod" with reliable performance.

At this time, this lightning rod really played a role.

There was a crackling sound of electric current behind them, but neither Lin Wuming nor Hufeng Toumi was hurt by the electric shock.

"Run!" Lin Wuming shouted, "I'll cover your retreat!"

Tiger Bee Toumi did not respond, but the stubbornness in his eyes conveyed a clear signal.

Lin Wuming felt helpless, but he didn't try to persuade him much.

At a critical moment of life and death, there is no time to argue about such things!

That’s right, Lin Wuming encountered a real life-and-death crisis for the first time in a long time.

"Ability Reduction" - In this city, there is a device specifically designed to restrain people with special abilities.

Especially nowadays, "capacity reduction" is almost standard to a certain extent in important facilities.

This is a no-brainer, yet often overlooked setting.

After all, until the "capacity reduction" device was optimized and upgraded last year, it was a complex and large device that was not suitable for widespread deployment. So under normal circumstances, there was no need to consider encountering this threat.

Study Group is the equipment supplier of the guard force and is involved in illegal experimental research. Therefore, from any perspective, it has the ability and motivation to produce a new type of "capability reduction" after the equipment is upgraded.

After entering the building, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi automatically entered combat mode, with their respective abilities fully ready to go.

Lin Wuming even used his telepathic ability as a radar, spreading it around to detect the enemy situation.

In this situation, his telepathic ability suddenly went out of control, and of course Lin Wuming noticed it at the first moment.

Similarly, Tiger Bee Toumi also realized that his "Absolute Penetration" suddenly became ineffective.

So, the two made the same judgment and took action almost at the same time - trying to throw the other out of the range of influence of "decreased ability".

But if you calm down and think about it carefully, there may be no point in doing this.

Now that they have fallen into the trap, how could the enemy let them escape so easily?

It was obvious that the coverage of the "reduction in ability" was such that it was impossible for the two of them to escape by just throwing each other.

In this case—Lin Wuming decisively turned around and protected the girl behind him—then he had no choice but to accept the challenge.
