A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 28 Torture
Lin Wuming never thought that there would be a day when he would be targeted by a sniper.

He was just about to use the same trick again and utilize the "armor stacking" technique to neutralize the sniper bullet, but Lin Wuming suddenly thought that the sniper was too far away from him and he lacked an effective means of counterattack.

If he didn't get rid of the sniper, then whatever he did next would be hindered by him.

So Lin Wuming changed his strategy and endured the huge load that seemed to tear his body apart. In the state of "bullet time", he used his telekinesis to forcibly move his body, avoiding the trajectory of the bullet as much as possible.

Then, he used his telekinesis to grab the tomatoes from the paper bag in his arms and moved the ball of ketchup, which had collapsed due to the high-speed movement, to the path of the bullet.

Finally, he used his telekinesis to push the wheelchair over, and the whole person fell backwards...

Looking at it at normal time flow rate, one can see a ball of red liquid bursting out from Lin Wuming's body, and then the entire wheelchair was overturned by a huge force.

Because the wheelchair suddenly fell while moving at high speed, the huge inertia caused Lin Wuming to be thrown out of the wheelchair and rolled a long distance on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

However, if you look at it from the sniper's position on a distant building, you will find that Lin Wuming finally rolled under a flower bed, just blocking the sniper's line of sight and shooting trajectory.

Lin Wuming couldn't be sure of the sniper's exact location in the building, but he could guarantee that no matter where he was in the building, he couldn't see him hiding under the flower bed.

I am temporarily safe. The reason and evidence is that the "bullet time" state is lifted and the flow of time around me has returned to normal.

Lin Wuming took out his cell phone and looked at it, but there was still no signal.

In desperation, I had to lie on the ground and observe the situation around me.

Looking at the overturned wheelchair and scattered ingredients not far away, Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel a pity - his first shopping trip ended up like this. What a pity for all those ingredients and seasonings.

"What should I do next?" Lin Wuming, clinging to the corner of the flower bed, began to think about his next strategy.

Perhaps it was because he had repeatedly verified the reliability of "bullet time", or perhaps it was because he had been attacked continuously today and had become numb. In short, at this moment, Lin Wuming no longer felt any fear or apprehension.

——If even a sniper can’t kill me, then what is there to be afraid of?

As long as that guy dares to get any closer...

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard not far away.

Lin Wuming instantly became alert.

Then I saw a man in blue work clothes running over hurriedly. Judging from the logo on his clothes, he should be a maintenance worker for the cable line.

Of course, this identity is also a disguise.

The man in blue overalls came to the scene. He was not surprised by the mess on the ground, but instead locked his eyes on Lin Wuming who was lying in the corner.

Coincidentally, Lin Wuming also turned around and looked over, and their eyes met in mid-air.

"Not dead..." The man pulled out the Taser without thinking, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

The electric shock bullet specially designed for arresting people encountered an invisible barrier during its flight and bounced back along the same path, piercing the back of the man's hand.

Without even being able to scream, the man fell down twitching.

boom!
There was a slight vibration from the flower bed behind.

The sniper in the distance also realized that Lin Wuming was still alive and continued to attack.

Lin Wuming glanced at the bullet hole some distance away—the sniper clearly didn't know his exact position, and the shot missed too far, failing to even trigger "bullet time." But precisely because of this, Lin Wuming felt the true fear of being shot.

Even with the "Bullet Time" support, to be honest, Lin Wuming still didn't dare to fully trust this somewhat baffling passive ability - because it was beyond his control, just like a scare box, no one knew when it would be triggered...

But then again, if "bullet time" were to become an active ability controlled by oneself, Lin Wuming would probably be the first to object.

After all, he has no foresight, so who knows when he will encounter danger...

Therefore, we cannot think about this matter too much, because it is a dilemma and there will never be a perfect option that completely meets our wishes.

"No, instead of dwelling on this..." Lin Wuming muttered to himself, "After all, if I hadn't encountered all these messed up things, I wouldn't have to worry about whether 'Bullet Time' is an active or passive ability, right?"

If he had a choice, Lin Wuming would rather this powerful ability never come in handy.

Instead of being triggered twice in a day like now!
How long has it been since I traveled here? I've already encountered four fatal crises!
"Damn it, I just want to lie down and relax!" Lin Wuming exclaimed.

Noticing that the man who had just been knocked unconscious by the stun gun showed signs of waking up, Lin Wuming simply grabbed him and slapped him a few times to wake him up.

"Don't look back," Lin Wuming restrained the enemy and made him sit on the ground with his back to him. He then asked, "How many of you are there? Who told you to kill me?"

The man had no intention of speaking.

Lin Wuming sighed in his heart, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Click!

"Ahhhh!!!" The man finally couldn't help but wail.

His left hand was broken, but the rest of his body was fixed firmly in place by telekinesis and could not move, so he could only twitch slightly.

"You still have four chances," Lin Wuming said with a tense face, "Say something."

"I...we don't mean to kill you!" the man finally spoke. "Our mission is to capture you alive."

"Is that sniper one of yours?" Lin Wuming asked. Judging from the trajectory of the bullet just now, he was shooting with the intention of killing him.

"He..." the man explained hurriedly, "Because the threat you presented was too great, he's willing to compromise a little. I think the employer will understand..."

"Who is the employer?" Lin Wuming asked.

"You..." The man said in a surprised tone, "Don't you know? It's the research institute you used to work in."

——How should I know...the security forces haven't found out yet.

Lin Wuming's heart moved, perhaps this was the most important information.

"Wait!" Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to drag him under the flower bed. "Tell me, what exactly is your mission?"

"You...wait, the intelligence said you lost your memory?" As if he suddenly remembered, the man realized the mistake he had made.

The man revealed an important piece of information - he knew relevant information about his employer's research institute.

This is very important for Lin Wuming, who has lost his memory.
