A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 912 The dust has settled
Looking calmly into Lin Wuming's eyes, Houfang Zhishui showed no signs of wavering or frustration at her defeat.

At the same time, blood-red light exploded on his body again. Both Tiger Bee's "Absolute Penetration" and Kanzaki Kaori's "Only Flash" had exceeded the defensive limit of the water behind him.

The bullet, controlled by Misaka Mikoto, finally broke through her defenses and embedded itself in her body.

The water behind seemed oblivious to the pain in his body, looking at Lin Wuming—"Next time, we'll..."

"Next time?" Lin Wuming scoffed, "Do you think there will be a next chance?"

"Of course, there are." The figure of the water behind suddenly dimmed.

The firepower attack suddenly missed, and Kanzaki Kaori once again unleashed "Only Flash," but could only manage to slash an afterimage.

It's either a double or an illusion again; no wonder the other party is so calm and composed. However, being forced to use such a desperate escape technique also means that the water behind them has been driven into a corner.

Lin Wuming took out the last small steel ball from his storage compartment and looked ahead. His gaze was unfocused, simply taking in all the scenery before him.

The stealth magic of the water behind him was indeed powerful; Lin Wuming couldn't find a trace of it. As for telekinesis scanning, it was too inefficient and unsuitable for such a large-scale search.

But it doesn't matter—Lin Wuming blinked, starlight twinkling in one of his pupils.

“Found it, Nameless Senior!” Misaki Shokuhou said, marking the target’s location in her field of vision.

"You've been a great help... Misaka, do it!" Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to transmit his words directly to Misaka Mikoto's ear.

The "Psycho-Acceleration Cannon" roared out, and at the same time, Misaka Mikoto's "Railgun" also fired, following the trajectory of the cannonball.

Like an eagle shot down by a hunter, the figure of water behind him appeared out of thin air and fell down from mid-air.

"I've already told you, you're no match for us," Lin Wuming muttered to himself.

Throughout the entire battle, the only attack that Misaka Mikoto truly dodged was her "Railgun"; as for other attacks, including Lin Wuming's "Psychic Acceleration Cannon," he always chose to meet them head-on.

Clearly, in his judgment, the "railgun" was the truly threatening attack.

Therefore, this decisive final blow was delivered by Misaka Mikoto.

Silence enveloped the battlefield; apart from the drones that continued to converge in the distance, the entire battlefield seemed to have come to a standstill.

Even Lin Wuming was filled with doubt and suspicion, wondering if the battle was truly over.

Misaka Mikoto, who delivered the final blow, looked completely bewildered: "Did I hit him? Is he alright?"

Misaka Mikoto has used the "Railgun" to attack people before, but this is the first time she has actually hit a target.

The "railgun" is too powerful; using it to attack soft targets like the human body would easily result in a horrific outcome, leaving no trace of the victim.

Misaka Mikoto didn't want things to get so bloody and brutal. But, the guy behind her, Shui, seemed completely unharmed—had he really been hit?
In the end, Kanzaki Kaori, without any hesitation, personally stepped forward to the side of the water behind her and squatted down to examine it.

She gently shook her head, then stood up, gave Lin Wuming a thumbs-up, and shouted, "He has lost consciousness and can no longer fight. Lin Wuming, you have won!"

—Losing consciousness, which means not dead yet?
Lin Wuming clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of a combination of a saint and the right seat of a god, his vitality is really strong!
The girls behind him finally cheered, high-fiving and hugging each other in celebration.

Lin Wuming got up, abandoned the wheelchair which had been reduced to a pile of parts, and went to Zhishui's side.

Behind them, Shui lay motionless on the ground with her eyes closed, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Right in the center of his chest was a charred wound the size of a bowl; through the wound, one could see the ribs and the deep red internal organs—this must be the result of that "railgun" shot.

“The Right Seat of God, the Water of the Rear—the ruler of blue, water, the moon, and the rear,” Kanzaki Kaori murmured, then looked up at the sky. “The moon is full tonight; he must have received a great blessing as well.”

—Not only that, there's also the factor of the Virgin Mary's constitution.

Lin Wuming thought to himself, "Looking back now, the water behind us really had the advantage in today's battle."

Under the moonlight, it was indeed visible that the injuries on Zhi Shui's body were healing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Lin Wuming's heart stirred, and he switched to the perspective of his mental scan to look over—sure enough, the moonlight enveloped the surface of the water's body behind him, and together with his body, they were moving in the same rhythm.

As the moonlight gradually merged into the water behind him, his injuries healed at an accelerated pace.

This self-healing efficiency is almost on par with Junko Hokaze!
Seeing Lin Wuming staring silently at the water behind him, Kanzaki Kaori became somewhat nervous: "Lin... Wuming? You don't mean to kill him, do you?"

When facing a formidable foe, eliminating the threat completely and leaving no future trouble is a common practice in the industry. Kanzaki Kaori has her own principle of "not killing," but she also knows that she cannot apply the same standard to others.

Just look at the battlefield before you and you'll know—the fighting is so fierce that Lin Wuming and the water behind him are now locked in a life-or-death struggle, so it's only natural that Lin Wuming wants to kill the enemy now.

However, Kanzaki Kaori learned of the identity of the Rear Water from the Knights Commander, and for the sake of the Anglican Church she served, she was still somewhat unwilling to see him perish.

"Hmm?" Lin Wuming, his eyes fixed on the interplay between the water and moonlight behind him, replied without looking up, "Kill him... Do you want to kill him? To avenge the Knight Commander?"

"No, no, no," Kanzaki Kaori quickly shook her head, "Now that we've already defeated the Rear Water, it's better to capture them alive rather than kill them."

At this moment, Shirai Kuroko moved here with the Tiger Bee Honey Space, and Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki also rushed over on their Iron Sand Clouds. After a fierce battle, Shokuhou Misaki had no strength left to continue traveling, and the battlefield terrain was so badly damaged that it was not suitable for a lady to settle down.

Seeing the tragic state of the water behind her, Misaka Mikoto breathed a slight sigh of relief—thankfully, she was still alive!

But then he became wary—after being attacked by their concentrated firepower in turn, and even taking a hit from his own "railgun," he was still alive! And his injuries didn't even seem that serious... Was this guy really human?

"Your Holiness, we're...we're late?" At this moment, Kenmiya Saiji and the Amakusa-shiki finally arrived at the scene.
