A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 232 Gas Explosion
Hufeng Toumi took the initiative to take on the responsibility of treating. Lin Wuming shrugged, but didn't refuse. He just made a mental note to leave at least a little cash in case of emergency when the scholarship was distributed next time.

Although they were treating everyone to drinks on behalf of Lin Wuming, Hufeng Toumi was not considerate enough to take into account everyone's preferences and tastes.

So, she bought five bottles of the same style of honey grapefruit tea - the sweetest one on the market - completely according to her own preferences.

Because they were very interested in this case, Misaka Mikoto and Kinuhata Moeai did not leave immediately, but chose to act together with the three discipline committee members.

Misaka Mikoto still used electromagnetic force to carry the two metal cans, large and small, which served as important evidence, floating beside her like small satellites.

Lin Wuming's telepathic ability can do the same thing, but his mind is not on this matter. He just feels regretful in his heart - he didn't bring one or two Guatai peripherals when he went out today.

It's such a pity that all the savings invested were not put to good use in time.

Back at the shopping street, the ultra-modern art piece, a metal can, floating next to Misaka Mikoto attracted a lot of attention.

"Let's send the evidence to the branch first?" Gufa Meiwei suggested. It felt a bit inconvenient to carry such a large piece of metal object around in the city.

"That's true." Misaka Mikoto nodded. The reason she insisted on carrying the two metal cans herself was that she wanted to participate in the subsequent investigation.

After all, the criminal is the dangerous and powerful "Explosion Demon". Whether it is for the pursuit of challenges and excitement or to protect the safety of Academy City, Misaka Mikoto has reason to continue to join in the fun.

However, after getting in touch with them for a while, he found that since Lin Wuming and Gufa Meiwei had no intention of refusing his help, there was no need to continue holding this "task item".

In addition, Misaka Mikoto and Kinuhata Motoa are also very interested in the discipline committee branch location, so it would be great if they have the opportunity to go and see it now.

It was the busiest time of the afternoon, and the commercial streets were bustling with people. Ordinary citizens were unaffected by the "serial bombings" and continued to enjoy their peaceful daily lives as usual.

Just on the road in front of Lin Wuming and his group, several children around elementary school age ran over laughing, kicking the cans under their feet as they ran.

"It seems that there are such games even in Academy City." Misaka Mikoto sighed.

A simple and even crude game like "Kick the Can" is quite interesting as long as the atmosphere is right.

It can be said that these are just children playing games normally. If Misaka Mikoto had not suddenly sighed, it probably would not have attracted people's attention, but Lin Wuming keenly noticed a sense of incongruity.

Kicking the can is a very common game. Although it is not recommended to play this game on a crowded road, generally no one will say anything about it.

At most, I just find the noise made by the empty can a bit annoying...

"There is no noise." Lin Wuming finally realized where the incongruity lay.

Although the boys were kicking the can, there was no expected clanging sound from an empty can. Moreover, it would be more accurate to say that the boys were "pushing" the can with their feet.

Although the boys were running and jumping all the way, the can on the ground was rolling steadily on the ground.

It was as if... no matter how hard the boys kicked it, they couldn't change its movement trend.

Tiger Bee Toumi heard Lin Wuming's words and noticed the situation over there: "That jar seems very heavy."

Indeed, just as Tiger Bee Toumi had said, the jar felt "heavy," as if it were filled with liquid... or even just liquid, perhaps a solid iron pillar. Gufa Meiwei pushed his glasses up. "There's definitely something in the jar, but that kind of structure... I've never seen it before."

Her "ability to see through things" is limited by her own knowledge and experience. Even if she can see many things, she can't recognize them.

"But the jar has been opened too much, the pull ring is open." Kinuhata's favorite also said.

The conversation between the two of them was rapid, and the children playing Kick the Can were also running very fast. Although the "solid" can never left the ground, its speed was beyond imagination and it had an unstoppable feeling, like a heavy truck, which was difficult to stop once it started.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of them.

Misaka Mikoto's bangs suddenly flashed with lightning: "You said..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the boys suddenly fly backwards as if they were hit by something.

At the same time, Kinuhata's favorite took a step forward and opened his arms to block everyone.

Seeing that everyone was alert, Misaka Mikoto stopped talking nonsense and took action.

Driven by electromagnetic force, the can brakes instantly and stops approaching.

Then, it exploded.

It was the first time that Lin Wuming witnessed the power of the "Explosion Demon"'s attack, and at such a close distance.

However, this time the "bullet time" under the fatal crisis was not triggered - because he noticed something was wrong in advance, before entering the "bullet time", Lin Wuming had already taken the lead and used his telekinesis to push away the children who were "kicking the bomb".

Similarly, after Kinuhata Zuiai approached the tank and discovered that the density of nitrogen inside was obviously abnormal, he immediately thought of this "high-pressure gas explosion" and decisively stepped forward to launch a defense.

Misaka Mikoto planned to use the same trick again and try to restrain the power of the explosion, but unfortunately, there was no metal material around to use this time, and she could no longer make a large container to seal the explosive like she did in the park.

So, it was the first time that Misaka Mikoto witnessed the terrifying power of a high-pressure gas explosion.

Not to mention the power of the explosion, the thunderous sound alone is enough to scare people with weak hearts to death.

After the explosion, Lin Wuming unexpectedly entered "bullet time". He saw with his own eyes that the highly compressed gas, as if it were real, broke through the metal can and expanded out of thin air into a white sphere with a diameter of about half a meter.

Then, the sphere expanded again, engulfing and tearing apart everything in its path, creating an unprecedentedly ferocious shock wave.

Even in the "bullet time" state, Lin Wuming felt as if the shock wave was approaching him in just a blink of an eye.

The silk flag in the front was unable to resist and its feet had already left the ground and was about to be blown away.

——How much gas is compressed in this small jar!
