A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 803 Unexplained Injury

The tiger wasp's honeycomb was originally aimed at Ellie's heart, and it even anticipated her reaction...

Unexpectedly, Ellie neither dodged nor evaded, as if she hadn't seen the attack from the Tiger Bee Honeybee. She continued walking forward at her original pace, causing the Tiger Bee Honeybee's seemingly sure-fire attack to miss her vital heart by a hair's breadth.

Of course, after making the move, Tiger Bee could have fine-tuned the trajectory of the ribbon's thrust, but considering Lin Wuming's attitude, he held back.

“I know.” Lin Wuming nodded. Through his telekinetic scan, he could sense that Ellie was breathing and her heart was beating, so he knew that the female assassin was still alive. “Don’t worry about her. Let’s go and see how things are going on Mikoto’s side.”

Lin Wuming did not finish her off, nor did he call an ambulance or provide first aid; he simply left the assassin to fend for herself.

This Ellie was ultimately an assassin sent to kill him, and disregarding everything was the greatest kindness Lin Wuming could offer.

To be fair, Hu Feng Tou Mi didn't take Lin Wuming's "goodwill" seriously.

It was only because he was Lin Wuming that Hufeng Toumi would approve of him and even consciously act in accordance with this "goodwill".

But the next second, the tiger bee Toumi was genuinely glad that it had decided to "show mercy"...

The wheelchair had only turned ninety degrees when, suddenly, without warning, blood gushed from Lin Wuming's chest!
A puncture wound, near the heart!

Not only his front, but also the same spot on his back was pierced by an invisible attack, and blood gushed out.

"Nameless!" Tiger Bee Exclaimed in surprise.

The tiger wasp could tell from the honeybee's eyes that the wound was exactly the same as the one it had inflicted... no, it was the result of its own attack!

"It's her ability!"

As citizens of Academy City, Tomi and Lin Wuming reacted immediately and looked at the girl lying in a pool of blood.

Ellie's fingers twitched slightly, but she finally calmed down and regained some consciousness.

At the same time, Ellie also knew that her ability "Thought Mapping" had been successfully activated.

Although they were unable to touch Lin Wuming's body, they still met the conditions of being within one meter and maintaining that distance for more than forty seconds.

So, subconsciously, Ellie projected her current critically injured and near-death state onto him.

Tiger Bee held the ribbon in its hand taut, but dared not make a move.

It is still unclear what the killer Ellie's ability mechanism is, but based on what has been shown so far, it can be judged that Ellie can copy the damage she suffers onto Lin Wuming!

In other words, attacking her is the same as attacking Lin Wuming!
In fact, it was even more effective than directly attacking Lin Wuming.

Hesitantly, Tiger Bee felt a wave of fear wash over him—if he hadn't held back and had actually killed the assassin, would he have killed Lin Wuming as well?

"Don't overthink it. Her abilities aren't that powerful." Lin Wuming saw through the girl's thoughts and immediately said, "If she's killed directly, she probably won't have a chance to activate her abilities again."

"I was too soft-hearted," the tiger bee said regretfully.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just killed this girl and ended it all.
Now, when it comes time to finish them off, the tiger wasp, Toumi, is still hesitant and doesn't dare to really deliver the fatal blow.

"It's alright, this is fine too." Lin Wuming's tone remained calm and composed, as if he were not injured at all. "I didn't suffer any vital injuries. This kind of injury—I don't even need to go to the hospital."

As he spoke, Lin Wuming used his Nen ability to perform an emergency surgery on himself, stopping the bleeding and sealing the wound.

Soon, apart from the blood-stained clothes, there were no other signs of injury.

Even so, the tiger bees dare not relax their efforts in nectar collection.

Although Lin Wuming performed emergency surgery on himself, it would be more reassuring for him to receive proper treatment at the hospital, if his condition allowed...

Just then, a series of muffled rumbling sounds came from outside the convenience store. Lightning strikes—Misaka Mikoto's side was getting serious.

—It seems her enemies are quite formidable.

Lin Wuming thought to himself.

He really wanted to leave the convenience store and go to Misaka Mikoto's side.

Even if I don't need to help, it would be good to just watch Misaka Mikoto show off her skills.

—From that fleeting glimpse, that girl's appearance, with her black and white hair, must be Ryoko Misaki, right?

Considering her formidable physical abilities and mobility, she is likely Ryoko Misaki's "avatar"—a cyborg with a mechanical body.

Recalling the original story, the duel between that clone and Misaka Mikoto created a cool scene reminiscent of a "Gundam battle".

Lin Wuming really wanted to witness that scene with his own eyes.

but……

Lin Wuming glanced at the assassin Ellie at his feet—he probably couldn't leave this place easily at this moment.

Ironically, for my own sake, I now have to protect this assassin.

So Lin Wuming used his Nen ability to perform emergency surgery on Ellie to prevent the girl from dying from excessive blood loss.

"Such a bizarre ability, no wonder there are rumors that she is the sixth one," Lin Wuming said helplessly.

“Nameless, take her and get out of here immediately,” Tiger Bee Honey said. “I have a bad feeling about the atmosphere here.”

As the tiger bee sensed the honey, the atmosphere around her and Lin Wuming's location increasingly resembled a "battlefield."

—Without a doubt, this is a carefully laid trap by the enemy, and we can no longer stay here!

As if in response to concerns about the hornets robbing honey, suspicious figures soon appeared inside the convenience store.

At first glance, they look like delinquent teenagers who sneaked in through the back door, trying to take advantage of the chaos.

But in the current situation, anyone who is seen moving around is considered a suspect.

This time, Tiger Bee Tou Mi did not hesitate and attacked fiercely, the ribbon leaving afterimages as it stabbed towards the group.

With a loud bang, these people suddenly burst open like balloons.

"dummy?"

"phantom."

Tiger Bee and Lin Wuming spoke at the same time.

Although the two made different judgments, one thing is certain—the scene before them was caused by one or more superpowers.

The person with the ability did not directly appear.

"The information from Professor Kiyama Harumi regarding the Phantasm Master is correct," Lin Wuming said.

Not long ago, when Lin Wuming and his group were about to leave, they suddenly received a call from Kiyama Haruo.

Ms. Harumi Kiyama said she sensed that someone had rebuilt the "Fantasy Master" system and activated it, and was brewing a new "Fantasy Beast"!
Lin Wuming wasn't surprised; he could even guess that it was probably Kihara Gensei's doing. After all, a similar operation had occurred in the original story.
