A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 750 Escape
The earth shook violently, emitting a low, mournful wail. The people underground felt as if the sky was collapsing and everything around them was crumbling, giving off a sense of "the end of the world."

With no time to spare for anything else, Lin Wuming used his Nen ability to hold down the culprit, Sherry Cromwell, while pulling Shirai Kuroko into the safer passage ahead.

“Nameless senior! There are more behind…” Shirai Kuroko still remembered the six trapped citizens.

But clearly, given their current predicament, they can only hope for the best. After all, the room where they are trapped has a very sturdy structure and should be able to hold out for a while longer.

Moreover, not to mention that Lin Wuming's current situation is also terrible. Successfully entering "bullet time" means that he is indeed facing a "fatal crisis".

Unlike pistol bullets, Lin Wuming currently has no way to control magic at will.

Therefore, Lin Wuming once again suffered the damage caused by the backlash.

Not only was he bleeding from all seven orifices, but now blood was seeping from every pore of his body, giving him a profound understanding of how Tsuchimikado Motoharu felt when he forcibly cast a spell.

Even under these circumstances, Lin Wuming still did his best to unleash his Nen ability behind him to protect the shop room where the six trapped people were located to the greatest extent possible.

"Nameless senior, stop right now, I'll take you out!" Shirai Kuroko couldn't stand it any longer and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

At this moment, Lin Wuming was covered in blood, looking so tragic that one worried he might die from his injuries at any moment.

Just then, a low, dense buzzing sound came.

Shirai Kuroko's eyes lit up: "That voice... it's Onee-sama!"

Sure enough, the next moment, countless iron filings mixed with all sorts of other metal objects swarmed in.

Under the control of electromagnetic force, these tiny metal particles converged into pillars, powerfully supporting the already crumbling underground passage.

Seeing this, Lin Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mikoto... I'll leave the rest to you..."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell backward with peace of mind.

"Nameless senior!" Misaka Mikoto arrived from afar, riding on a cloud of iron sand, just in time to witness this scene.

Although rationally she knew that Lin Wuming would be fine—at most, he would be injured and need to be hospitalized, but there was absolutely no danger to his life—she still had a sense of fear of cardiac arrest.

Without thinking twice, Misaka Mikoto sped up and pounced.

However, before that, Shirai Kuroko, who was closer, had already teleported behind Lin Wuming and used her body to support him.

After checking Lin Wuming's pulse, Shirai Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief: "Thankfully, Senior Wuming is alright."

"You call this nothing serious?" Misaka Mikoto rushed over and hurriedly took out a handkerchief, trying to wipe the blood off Lin Wuming's face.

However, a small handkerchief was like a drop in the ocean compared to the bloodstains all over Lin Wuming's face.

“Big sister, please calm down,” Shirai Kuroko said. “You’ve spent more time with the Nameless-senpai, so you should know that this situation is very difficult for him…”

As she spoke, Shirai Kuroko was somewhat speechless: "For Mumei-senpai... well, it should be considered something like everyday food?"

“How can you say that…” Misaka Mikoto immediately retorted, but then paused, sighing helplessly, “What you said does seem to make sense…”

Just then, the earthquake suddenly stopped, and everything returned to calm, as if the earth-shattering commotion was just an illusion.

“More important than this,” Shirai Kuroko quickly pointed to the fallen mage Sherry Cromwell not far ahead, “Don’t let that woman get away, she’s the culprit!”

Misaka Mikoto turned her head to look, and at the same time, she flicked out a bolt of electricity from her bangs.

Shirley Cromwell shuddered, then remained completely still.

"Onee-sama!" Shirai Kuroko looked over in horror. "You wouldn't have... " "What nonsense are you spouting! Misaka Mikoto glared at her. "She's not dead. I was very careful with my strength! It's just... weaker than I expected..."

Misaka Mikoto muttered, "I thought the enemy who could push the nameless senior to this point must be really powerful."

She was prepared for the enemy to struggle or even retaliate, so she went a little too far.

“That woman has already been defeated by the Nameless Senior,” Shirai Kuroko said. “And the Nameless Senior’s injuries… were self-inflicted.”

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto immediately realized, "I see, so the nameless senior really did forcefully use magic?"

This morning, Misaka Mikoto received the latest information about Lin Wuming from Shokuhou Misaki and Tohmi Tohmi, learning that he had been persuaded by Chairman Aleister to study magic.

Then, based on their understanding of Lin Wuming, they knew that once they learned a new skill, Lin Wuming would definitely find an opportunity to use it.

However, no one expected this opportunity to come so quickly.

"Quickly take the nameless senior to the hospital!" Misaka Mikoto said hastily. "As long as we leave him with Dr. Gekota, everything will be fine!"

As she spoke, she manipulated the iron sand around her again, preparing to carve a tunnel directly to the ground from here.

“Oh right, are there other people trapped here?” Misaka Mikoto said. “Let’s take them with us.”

Misaka Mikoto appeared here to rescue those trapped.

At this moment, the girl who had been ignored all along woke up.

"Hmm... Huh? Here..." The girl was greatly surprised when she saw the tragic and terrifying scene before her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh, right, and this girl!" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed, as if suddenly remembering something. "Are you alright?"

An urgent notification just came from above: someone has mistakenly entered this collapsed area and ended up trapped underground.

Now it seems that this is the girl.

"Don't worry, we'll be out soon," Shirai Kuroko reassured the girl.

Although the other person looked to be about the same age as me, as a disciplinary committee member, I have an obligation to help and take care of ordinary citizens.

If it weren't for the injured Lin Wuming and the important intruder Shirley Cromwell, Shirai Kuroko would definitely have taken this girl away first under any other circumstances.

"Wait a moment, I'll open one now..." Misaka Mikoto gathered iron sand, turning it into a giant drill.

Just then, a sound came from the soil above.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko exchanged a glance and quickly led Lin Wuming and the girl to step back.

Sure enough, a moment later, a ray of light shone down from the cave entrance.

With the hum of the motor, more and more clods of earth fell down.

"Attention everyone down here, something big is coming down."

A woman's voice echoed through the underground space via loudspeakers.

Immediately afterwards, a machine with cherry blossom paint jumped down from the cave entrance, its nearly three-meter-tall form almost filling the underground passage.
