A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 747 Underground Maneuvering

After Deringer's pistol malfunctioned and he was unable to actively enter "bullet time" mode, Lin Wuming simply switched to "warrior" class in the face of the approaching stone giant.

Lin Wuming was confident that he could smash the stone golem into pieces with just his two fists!

Just as Lin Wuming was about to engage in close combat, "Ellis" cooperated perfectly. It simply took a step back, then pounced forward again, swinging its arms in a sweeping motion.

Bang!
Another violent collision ensued.

Debris flew everywhere as "Ellis's" right arm collapsed, turning into scattered stones.

At the same time, Lin Wuming also felt a faint numbness on the right side of his body due to the violent impact—after all, he was still just a mortal, and it was by no means a wise choice to go head-to-head with the stone man.

Although in the end, Lin Wuming was unharmed, while the other side lost an arm.

But opposite them were puppets made of mud and stones. Raw materials that could be found everywhere gathered together, and in the blink of an eye, new arms grew back.

Shirley Cromwell also calmed down and remembered the advantages and characteristics of "Ellis".

It's just a head-on war of attrition; "Ellis" will not fear any opponent.

Similarly, Lin Wuming also calmed down.

—Now is not the time to play around. We need to deal with the enemy as soon as possible and end this chaos.

"Ellis" came running over and once again monotonously swung his arm.

"Nameless! You too, become that sand giant from back then and flatten it!"

Feng Zhanbinghua suddenly appeared behind Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming pulled her backward and jumped to avoid the enemy's attack.

"When did you..."

But considering the current characteristics of Wind Slash Ice Flower, he swallowed back his original question.

"What are you doing here?"

In the original story, it was Kazakiri Hyouka who sacrificed herself to restrain the stone giant "Ellis," creating the conditions for Kamijou Touma to finally defeat Sherry Cromwell.

But now, Feng Zhan Binghua has almost become a different person, and Lin Wuming no longer needs anyone's help.

"Because I can't stand it anymore!" Feng Zhan Binghua said. "Wuming only needs to transform into the same state as last time to easily defeat this guy. Why waste time here?"

The last time... was during the "Angel's Fall" incident, when Lin Wuming's "soul left his body," and he took the opportunity to transform into a sand giant to fight against the angel's "divine power."

It was precisely because of the special circumstances at that time that Feng Zhanbinghua firmly believed that Lin Wuming was her "kindred spirit".

Indeed, if we could recreate that situation, defeating this stone giant in front of us would be a piece of cake, right?
After all, Lin Wuming at that time was capable of confronting "divine power" head-on.

but……

"Unfortunately, I can't do it." Lin Wuming shook his head helplessly, raising his hand to block the enemy's attack again.

With such a powerful combat mode, how could Lin Wuming not try to reproduce it afterward?
However, they all failed.

Ultimately, it would be difficult for Lin Wuming to recreate that complete "out-of-body" state.

With the complete departure of Ms. Kobayashi, Lin Wuming and this body are now one in spirit and flesh, making him a complete human being.

Because his soul was bound by his body, he could no longer fully immerse himself in manipulating the Stand as he had last time.

Feng Zhan Binghua was somewhat disappointed, but she quickly cheered up: "It's okay, I can wait. I believe Wuming will succeed!"

With that, she clenched her fists and stepped forward: "Leave this to me now!"

"Huh?" Lin Wuming looked over in surprise.

“Nameless, you need to prepare before you can launch a full-force attack,” Feng Zhanbinghua said, her long hair and skirt fluttering wildly as if a current of air surged around her. “You can prepare now, but I’ll hold it off until then!” The stone giant “Ellis” assumed a defensive stance, ready for battle.

"Come on! Let me see your strength!" Feng Zhanbinghua shouted fiercely without any fear.

But there was no response from the other side.

Lin Wuming suddenly looked at a certain spot on the wall and used his mental power to push away the soil and rocks there.

A large hole appeared in the wall, leading directly to another underground passage next door.

Shirley Cromwell has disappeared.

No wonder "Ellis" remained motionless; it had indeed turned into a true "stone statue."

The instant Feng Zhan Binghua appeared, Shirley Cromwell realized that the situation was unfavorable to her!

Lin Wuming was already difficult to deal with, and now with the addition of a mysterious girl whose abilities were unknown... Sherry Cromwell saw no chance of winning.

So she decided to leave first.

We should at least wait until they separate before trying to defeat them one by one.

Upon seeing the hole in the wall, Lin Wuming chased after it without hesitation.

Feng Zhanbinghua's figure flickered, as if she were using spatial teleportation, moving alongside Lin Wuming.

After entering the adjacent passage, Lin Wuming discovered that Sherry Cromwell had not run far; instead, she had turned around and was looking in his direction.

Lin Wuming then noticed that the surrounding walls and ground were covered with white stripes and runes.

"Bye-bye." Shirley Cromwell smiled and waved in their direction.

Subsequently, the passageway collapsed.

The collapsed soil and building debris served as the best obstacles, and the massive volume of earthwork was impenetrable even to the telekinetic acceleration cannon.

After confirming that the passage was completely blocked, Shirley Cromwell finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that killing Lin Wuming will require further consideration..." Shirley Cromwell muttered to herself.

She suddenly frowned, as if she had heard something unusual.

“Someone… is calling for help?” Sherry Cromwell muttered, looking in the direction the sound came from.

As you approach, amidst the ruins, you can indeed hear a girl crying.

"Did it fall from above when the collapse just happened?" Shirley Cromwell looked up. "But you're lucky, you don't seem to be seriously injured."

Shirley Cromwell was prepared; she was there to start a war, so she wouldn't hesitate to kill when the time came.

On the other hand, apart from those few selected targets, she had no intention of indiscriminately killing innocent people.

Manipulating the soil, Shirley Cromwell rescued the crying girl from the collapsed rubble.

The girl, who looked only eleven or twelve years old and was still a primary school student, was curled up in a ball, holding her head and sobbing softly.

Shirley Cromwell frowned. She realized that the girl wasn't crying because she was frightened.

It seems to be because of a headache.

She clutched her head, groaning in pain and fear.

"No...no, don't go!!!"

The ground trembled violently as the girl screamed.
