A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 509 Illusion Deception
"The target breaks free from the illusion, switching to backup plan one!"

However, this was also within their expectations. After all, the target this time was the recently famous "suspected level 5" and "unknown director" Lin Wuming. It was normal that he was more difficult to kill than previous targets.

Therefore, the "illusionist" on the roof did not panic, but continued to use his abilities to rearrange the illusion.

"Magician, it's up to you!"

"OK, give me two seconds!" The companion next to him made a gesture, then kicked over the large flowerpot next to him, and the soil inside spilled out.

Under the control of the "magician", the soil floats into the air, is shaped in mid-air, and then compressed and hardened, becoming a hardness comparable to high-temperature fired ceramics.

These are slender, sharp cones, and even the surface has glaze reflections, making them look very sharp.

Under the control of the "magician", these cones fell towards Lin Wuming...

In order to stop his falling body, Lin Wuming ignored the scene in front of him and crashed into the wall!

Of course, there was no feeling of hitting the wall at all, and his body passed through the wall.

But such a realistic illusion still makes people involuntarily tense their nerves and subconsciously prepare for a collision.

This is human instinct and it is difficult to completely avoid it.

The enemy seemed to have seized this "weakness" and unfolded a "roller coaster" scene in front of Lin Wuming...

Although Lin Wuming knew rationally that his body had not moved at all, the scene of rapidly retreating in front of him inevitably gave him the illusion that he was "riding a roller coaster."

"He really has all kinds of weird abilities." Lin Wuming simply closed his eyes to block the enemy's interference at the source.

At the same time, Lin Wuming released telekinetic tentacles to observe the surrounding environment instead of vision.

There are four official members of the "Corpse Eater Corps". As a professional "assassination" organization, their abilities are also specialized for assassination.

The four of them can be roughly divided into two groups, based on their "working methods" - "oxygen operation" and "matter exchange" are the "suffocation group"; "illusionists" and "magicians" are the "illusionary killing group".

The "suffocation" attack had failed, so the "suffocation team" retreated and decisively switched to the "illusion" attack. They used "matter exchange" to capture Lin Wuming and threw him directly into the "secret room" illusion, but in reality, he fell from the 30th floor of a building.

This is the style of the "Corpse Cannibal Corps". Unless necessary, they don't like to kill the target "with their own hands".

Instead, they tend to use methods such as "suffocation" and "falling" to disguise accidental deaths.

In this way, the aftermath work will become very simple, or even unnecessary. Even if the security forces investigate, it will be difficult to determine whether the victim died of homicide.

However, Lin Wuming resolved their two attacks one after another, and both "suffocation" and "illusion killing" were ineffective.

Therefore, the "magician" took decisive action and no longer pursued the execution of the mission target "without a trace". Instead, he chose to prioritize the mission and kill the target first at all costs!
The "Magician"'s ability is the level 4 "Fireless Kiln Factory". This ability can manipulate clay or sand, construct it into any shape, and compress and harden these clay shapes. It does not require high-temperature firing, but can achieve a hardness comparable to ceramics.

Because the materials are readily available and the operation is simple and quick, his "fireless kiln factory" can continuously produce high-strength ammunition, the lethality of which cannot be underestimated. As a result, the "magician" has become the last resort for the "corpse-eating army" - if an "assassination" fails, he will take action, turning the assassination into a forced kill!

Combined with the "Visual Deception" ability of the Level 4 "Illusionist", their combination has been invincible since their debut!

This time is no exception. Lin Wuming is trapped in a "roller coaster illusion" constructed by "visual deception". Although this is only a visual deception, the key point is that even if you know that this is a false image, under the overly strong and realistic visual stimulation, even if you just see such a scene, you will inevitably be affected!
Just like watching a highly realistic 3D movie, even if the audience is mentally prepared, they will still react instinctively when encountering thrilling scenes.

For the combination of "Illusionist" and "Magician", this is enough.

They did not seek to completely deceive the target with illusions, nor did they hope to kill the target directly through illusions; it was enough as long as the target was slightly disturbed by the illusion, became a little dull, and failed to notice the conical "earth spikes" shot in front of it in time.

But they didn't expect that Lin Wuming had already seen through the trick of "illusion" and took targeted countermeasures - closing his eyes and not looking.

The telekinetic tentacles he released instead of vision conducted a carpet search of the surrounding space.

Then, as expected, the telekinetic tentacles caught the hard object flying towards them.

"found it!"

Lin Wuming opened his eyes. Against the backdrop of intense movement, two earth-colored, slender cones stood out abruptly not far in front of him, somewhat out of place with the "roller coaster" scenery next to them.

Although these cones are very hard, the kinetic energy contained in them is very limited and can be easily stopped by Lin Wuming's telekinetic tentacles.

——It seems that the enemy's ability is only to create such a cone, but not to launch it.

It can be further inferred that these cones are flying according to inertia; that is to say, as long as we reverse their flight trajectory, we can find the enemy's position!
Lin Wuming took out the small steel ball.

Just at this moment, the "roller coaster illusion" in front of him suddenly disappeared!
Lin Wuming was finally able to see his real environment - he was suspended in the air halfway up a tall building, about ten meters away from the roof.

Moreover, in addition to the two cones captured by the telekinetic tentacles, there are more cone-shaped spikes falling from the rooftop!

But it was a blessing in disguise. Lin Wuming was actually not out of the "bullet time" state, so he had so much time to see everything clearly.

You know, this is actually just the interval when the "illusionist" adjusts his tactics and switches "illusions" in order to launch a new round of offensive.

Converted into time, it is probably less than a millisecond, which can hardly be considered a "flaw".

Unfortunately, in Lin Wuming's eyes at this moment, one millisecond was already long enough.

The two figures on the rooftop, "frozen" there like sculptures, were perfect targets.

So, "Telekinetic Accelerator Cannon", bombard!
