A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 289 On the Arena
After nearly six minutes of fierce fighting, Kurozuma Mianliu finally defeated this round's opponent - a level 3 telekinetic user.

This was also the longest game he had played since he started fighting.

After throwing the unconscious loser out of the arena, Kurozuma Mianliu shook his head, his face full of disappointment: "I thought he would be a strong enemy, but... it turned out to be far from it!"

Hattori Hanzo knew that the part he deliberately did not make clear was still far from what Lin Wuming said!

Lin Wuming was also a level 3 telekinetic user. Although he had never sparred with Lin Wuming, Hei Qi Mian Liu was still aware of this basic information.

Moreover, during the investigation process of these days, in addition to the information about the "underground arena", he also came across a lot of information about Lin Wuming, ranging from urban legends to news reports, and even confidential reports circulated within the Anbu organization.

Therefore, Heizuma Mianliu has a relatively objective and fair understanding and evaluation of Lin Wuming's strength.

To be honest, if he hadn't been busy investigating the "underground arena" recently, Heizuma Mianliu really wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Lin Wuming.

——Hei Qi Mian Liu has a generous personality and likes to make friends with all kinds of "heroic" temperament.

Therefore, after meeting a person with the same superpowers as Lin Wuming in the arena just now, Heizuma Mianliu felt very excited but also behaved very cautiously.

This is also the reason why the game dragged on for so long - he treated his opponent as a master like Lin Wuming.

Level 3 strong ability users are indeed very powerful. Even if they have never practiced any fighting skills, they will have an absolute advantage when facing ordinary people.

But Kurozuma Mianliu is not an ordinary person, he is a master of fighting.

To put it in more professional terms, Kurozuma Watari is an excellent mixed martial artist.

If he was in the mood to compete, he could probably easily win the world championship in the junior category, right?

Facing this powerful warrior who is proficient in various fighting techniques and has rich practical combat experience, a level 3 telekinetic user seems inadequate.

After all, not every telekinetic user is like Lin Wuming, who has another trump card called "bullet time".

Kurozuma Watari spent five minutes testing the waters with his opponent, and finally figured out his opponent's background and strength; in the last minute, through flexible positioning and feints, he successfully deceived his opponent's telekinesis barrier and knocked him unconscious with a clean uppercut.

"Well, after all, Lin is special." Hattori Hanzo, who had personally fought against Lin Wuming, had a deep understanding of this. "At least his reaction speed is something this guy can't compare to."

"I don't know how that guy is doing now." Heizuma Mianliu said as he rehydrated. "If he doesn't show up again, I'm afraid I'll really have to fight all the way to become the champion..."

"Kurozuma, can you still hold on?" Hattori Hanzo asked worriedly, "There are still dozens of opponents behind us."

"We can only take it one step at a time." Heizuma Mianliu said helplessly. He also knew that such a round-the-clock battle could not last too long.

After all, his physical strength is limited. Being able to last through twenty games is already his limit, right?
"Then let's schedule the fight for the twentieth time," Hattori Hanzo said in a low voice, "If we haven't found our companions by then..."

He felt for his phone through his pocket: "Then we can only call for support."

They are SKILL OUT, but there are still two people on the ground providing support. As soon as they receive the signal, they will rush in to help.

Although this place is deep underground and the organizers must have specially shielded the mobile phone signals, Hattori Hanzo is not worried about not being able to get a signal.

Though he abandoned his school and family traditions and came to Academy City on his own initiative, the awareness and fundamental qualities cultivated since childhood as a former ninja remained undiminished. Hattori Hanzo actively embraced technology, resulting in his proficiency in the use and mastery of a wide range of high-tech equipment, which he flexibly integrated with his own ninjutsu to great effect.

During this "stealth operation", Hattori Hanzo did not carry any weapons with him, but used his ninjutsu skills to hide a mobile phone and a large number of mini base stations - a button-shaped signal repeater called a "signpost", which was a good thing that Hattori Hanzo specially bought from the black market.

Each "signpost" can relay and transmit electromagnetic signals within a range of fifty meters.

Along the way, Hattori Hanzo secretly placed these "signposts".

Therefore, even though they were underground and their cell phone signals were blocked, Hattori Hanzo could send signals to Komaba Reidu and Hamazura Shiage at any time if he wanted to.

The only thing that made Hattori Hanzo uneasy was - could those two people really fight their way all the way here to help us?
However, he thought again: since Lin Wuming had come, there would definitely be members of the Discipline Committee and even security forces to provide support. At that time, with the combined power of these two major organizations, it seemed that destroying this underground arena and rescuing the trapped companions would not be impossible...

"But..." Hattori Hanzo couldn't help but sigh, "I'm sure I'll be thrown into jail again then, right?"

"What do you mean jailed?" Hei Qi Mian Liu said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

After saying that, he rested and regained his spirits, returning to the arena to wait for the next opponent to enter.

This opponent came on the field with a samurai sword.

"The playtime is over." He pushed aside a section of the blade to show its sharpness. "Next, I will kill you!"

Kurozuma Mianliu's expression also became serious.

A well-trained swordsman with a sharpened katana poses a greater threat than someone using an unskilled Nen ability.

This was the first time that weapons had appeared openly since the start of the competition, and the emotions of the audience were once again aroused.

The noisy cheers grew louder and louder.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him..."

Soon, the crowd's voices became one, not concealing their bloodthirsty desire.

"Tsk, there's no hope." Heizuma Mianliu shook his head, "These guys really haven't made any progress at all."

At this moment, a loud bang was heard in the audience.

The shouts of "Kill him" were instantly interrupted, and everyone's attention was drawn to the source of the noise.

I saw a dark hole on the top wall of the auditorium.

Amidst the flying dust, a figure flew out of the cave!

No, there is not just one figure, there are two people!

The two of them held hands, neither of them wanting to let go, and they flew out of the hole together, falling downwards in the air...
