A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 720 Mysterious Attacker

"So who is this person this time?" Lin Wuming's face was gloomy. No one would be in a good mood if they were disturbed during a date.

Not to mention a fatal attack that was intended to kill him.

Shokuhou Misaki was of course also angry, but after noticing Lin Wuming's anger, she immediately changed her mood and began to try to comfort him.

——It's not wise for both of them to fall into a state of rage. Even if it is to deal with enemies lurking in the dark, they must remain calm.

"Wuming-senpai, you..." Shokuhou Misaki suddenly noticed the sand curtain beside her and asked curiously, "Do you always carry so much adamantium with you?"

"Actually, it's not too much." Lin Wuming took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Now these are microscopic particles with a diameter of less than one micron. If they gather together, they won't take up much space."

Rather than calling it "sand grains", it would be more accurate to say it is "dust".

Without Lin Wuming's telekinetic control, these particles would not even be able to cause any macroscopic physical damage.

Therefore, one can imagine how strong the defense of the barrier formed by them is - it is not much better than air.

But it was this light "barrier" that blocked the attack that could have caused a "fatal crisis" to Lin Wuming!

The mysterious enemy and the bizarre attacks cast a shadow over the hearts of Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki.

No matter how confident they were in their strength, they were in no mood to continue their "date" under such threats.

"Shokuhou, I'm sorry..." Lin Wuming had just opened his mouth when the girl in his arms pointed her finger at his lips.

"This isn't something to apologize for," Shokuhou Misaki said, "because Mumei-senpai didn't do anything wrong."

Even though Shokuhou Misaki was the most disappointed person, she still knew the priorities.

"It's a shame..." Shokuhou Misaki looked down, "It's just right. Those people following us can come in handy."

……

Shirai Kuroko activated "space movement" again, taking Misaka Mikoto and Tiger Bee Toumi and jumping to the rooftop of another building.

"What just happened?" Tiger Bee Toumi noticed the uncharacteristic behavior of the two people in the sky. "Wuming seems to have... used diamond dust?"

"That's Wuming-senpai's battle tool, right? Why would he use that on a date?" Misaka Mikoto was also puzzled. Then, as if she had thought of something, she muttered guiltily, "Could it be that he realized he was being followed, so he's preparing to fight?"

"You're right, Misaka-san~" Shokuhou Misaki's voice came from not far away, "Wuming-senpai is very angry, so he plans to teach you a lesson!"

"Ah!" Misaka Mikoto was startled.

Not only her, even the usually calm and composed Tiger Bee Toumi couldn't help but tremble.

The three girls' first reaction was to look up at the sky.

"Don't look, Wuming-senpai and I are not there." Shokuhou Misaki sat on the bench on the rooftop, playing with her usual remote control in her hand.

The three girls who were stalking looked at the remote control with some fear...

Misaka Mikoto wasn't afraid, but she felt particularly guilty. "Wu...Wuming-senpai, is he really angry?" Misaka Mikoto said tremblingly. "He even gave up his date just to catch us?"

"How is that possible..." Shirai Kuroko suddenly complained.

She was the first to notice something unusual: "Just now, Senior Wuming used the Diamond Curtain. Did...something happen?"

"Your reaction is quite quick." Shokuhou Misaki glanced at Shirai Kuroko with some approval. "Indeed, there was a small accident. Wuming-senpai was attacked just now..."

As she spoke, Shokuhou Misaki raised her hand, presciently silencing the exclamations of the girls before her. She continued, "As you can see, Mumei-senpai's response was immediate, so he wasn't hurt."

"So what about Wuming Senior now..." asked Misaka Mikoto.

"Going after the enemy," Tiger Bee Toumi answered on behalf of Shokuhou Misaki. "Long-range sniping? Wuming has often encountered this kind of attack before. According to his habit, he will definitely not let the enemy go."

"Huh? We meet each other often..." Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Shokuhou Misaki shook her head. "Don't get your hopes up yet. The enemy this time was very cautious, using the crowd as cover. Neither Wuming-senpai nor I could find any trace of him."

So just now, Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki split up into two groups, and Lin Wuming tried to hunt down the attacker alone; at the same time, in order to ensure Shokuhou Misaki's safety, he left her at the place where Shirai Kuroko and the others would pass by and meet up with them.

"How dare they attack Wuming Senior!" Misaka Mikoto was filled with righteous indignation, "Let's go catch the bad guys too!"

In order to carry out today's tracking operation, Misaka Mikoto temporarily obtained the authority to command the "Misaka Army", which can now be used to find people.

"The problem now," Shokuhou Misaki said, disapproving of her decision, "is that we don't have any information about the enemy. Even if we mobilize more people, we don't know where to start."

Just as the girls were discussing, they saw Lin Wuming suddenly appear at the edge of the rooftop.

"The operation failed." Lin Wuming shook his head helplessly. "The search efficiency is too low without any target. As expected, no suspicious objects were found."

"But we can't just leave it alone, right?" Shokuhou Misaki said. "Damn, we still lack intelligence. Otherwise, we could at least issue a city-wide wanted notice."

In fact, with Lin Wuming's current power and influence, he can issue a wanted order at any time, but as Shokuhou Misaki said, without any definite clues, there is no point in issuing a wanted order.

——If that doesn't work, try using the "external brain"...

Shokuhou Misaki secretly swore in anger that as long as she didn't care about the consequences, it was not impossible to find it - it was just looking for a needle in a haystack, and she could indeed do it!
The reason why she cared so much was because it triggered Lin Wuming's "bullet time", which eliminated the possibility of a prank, but was indeed an attack with murderous intent!

Regardless of whether this attack was aimed at Lin Wuming or Shokuhou Misaki, it just happened to be blocked by Lin Wuming... For Shokuhou Misaki, it cannot be overemphasized.

As for Misaka Mikoto, Tomi Hufeng and the others, they simply felt that the matter of "Lin Wuming being attacked" should be taken seriously.

In public, Lin Wuming is a senior executive at the "director" level; in private, he is the most important person to them, so it is only natural that he should be treated with the highest standards.

However, Lin Wuming ultimately rejected the girls' proposal to start a war.

"You guys go back first, and leave the rest to me." Lin Wuming said.
