— — Not enough distance, no time to touch the target!
Killer Ellie's heart tightened. If she couldn't touch Lin Wuming's body, then her ability couldn't be activated, and the assassination couldn't be completed.
At this moment, Misaka Mikoto manipulated the convenience store's metal shelves to surround her from all directions, and Killer Ellie was completely defenseless against it.
Just as Killer Ellie was despairing, she saw Misaka Mikoto suddenly turn around, simultaneously redirecting all the manipulated electromagnetic force behind her.
The metal shelves immediately clattered to the ground.
Outside the convenience store, a heavy truck was rumbling towards them, its target unmasked.
Lin Wuming had already taken out the steel ball.
“Leave it to me!” Misaka Mikoto shouted, “Wuming Senior, be careful with that girl!”
Compared to the heavy truck crashing in, Misaka Mikoto truly felt that the girl behind her was more terrifying.
It was only a truck of a few tens of tons. Misaka Mikoto easily forced it to stop by manipulating electromagnetic force.
The goods loaded in the truck's compartment continued to fly forward due to the immense inertia.
It was large bags of cement, non-metallic, electromagnetic force ineffective!
“Such a trick…” Misaka Mikoto sneered. Under the control of powerful electromagnetic force, the truck's compartment was violently torn apart, and the metal components were reassembled to form a wall, blocking the incoming cement bags.
Before Misaka Mikoto could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed a figure leap out of the truck's cab.
Judging by her build, she should be a female. She somehow cut open the cement bags above her head.
The next moment, large patches of cement dust scattered down, like a sandstorm, rushing towards the convenience store entrance.
“Wuming Senior, she's mine!” Misaka Mikoto hastily said, then rushed forward.
Or rather, Misaka Mikoto was actually “dragged” by the enemy.
Using the cement dust as cover, the enemy manipulated the cement to form tentacles, which wrapped around Misaka Mikoto's waist, then dragged her over.
As for the other “tentacle,” it was blocked by Lin Wuming's Mind Power Barrier, so it failed.
As expected of the legendary “Hero”—the clone looked towards Lin Wuming.
“Catching Misaka Mikoto is enough.” Kihara Pathology's voice sounded in her ear, “Take her away, separate her from Lin Wuming!”
The clone didn't hesitate and quickly left the battlefield with Misaka Mikoto.
“Wuming Senior, don't worry, I'll be right back!” Misaka Mikoto shouted loudly, while electricity surged, and countless iron sand converged into a beam, cutting back towards the enemy.
“Indeed, Our guess was correct.” Seeing this, Lin Wuming nodded slightly, as if he had anticipated it.
In fact, ever since Shokuhou Misaki left the group and acted alone, Lin Wuming and his companions had already been mentally prepared.
The enemy—assuming the mastermind was indeed that old man Kihara Gensei—was deliberately dispersing their forces.
The lineup of three Level 5s working together was too formidable, even the “Kihara” would probably not want to face opponents of that caliber directly.
However, if it was “just a single Level 5,” that was another matter entirely.
Twenty minutes ago, Mental Out left first, and now Railgun was drawn away by a new enemy who suddenly appeared.
Thus, facing Killer Ellie, there was only her original assassination target, Incomplete Telekinesis Lin Wuming, alone!
“Only one person, good opportunity!” Killer Ellie whispered.
Before this, Killer Ellie was unaware of the existence of such “helpers,” but that didn't stop her from seizing the opportunity.
She was, after all, a “killer,” and this was professional instinct.
Killer Ellie walked straight forward, reaching out as if to touch Lin Wuming's face.
Seeing this, Hu Feng Toumi, who had been standing silently behind Lin Wuming, raised her eyebrows.
…
“So, Misaka was also drawn away?” Shokuhou Misaki toyed with the remote control in her hand.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Kazakiri Hyouka nodded, “Misaka Student sent a signal according to the plan.”
Kazakiri Hyouka showed the “signal” in her phone's email—a gekota avatar.
“Now it can be confirmed that the girl named Killer Ellie is indeed the killer.” Shokuhou Misaki pressed the remote control against her chin, “The enemy went to such lengths just to create a one-on-one situation between her and Wuming Senior.”
“One-on-one?” Kazakiri Hyouka let out a surprised sound, “But…”
“But~” Shokuhou Misaki interrupted, “Ignoring Hu Feng Tong Xue will lead to a huge loss.”
“Exactly,” Kazakiri Hyouka deeply agreed, “If you underestimate Hu Feng Tong Xue, it's probably not just a simple loss—it might even cost you your life!”
…
“Do you really think I don't exist?” Hu Feng Toumi expressionlessly retracted the blood-stained ribbon, allowing the girl in front of her to fall to the ground.
Killer Ellie's face showed unconcealed astonishment, but then she revealed a relieved smile, her body losing all strength, slumping down and falling at Lin Wuming's feet.
A sword in her chest, blood gushed out, quickly soaking the wheels of the wheelchair.
Lin Wuming looked down at the girl on the ground, then turned to Hu Feng Toumi.
“I warned her, but she ignored my warning and kept trying to get closer, didn't she?” Hu Feng Toumi quickly explained.
To be honest, Hu Feng Toumi didn't think this girl could truly threaten Lin Wuming—she even doubted whether this killer could break through Lin Wuming's Mind Power Barrier!
In other words, there was no need to make the scene so bloody and unsightly.
Hu Feng Toumi also knew that Lin Wuming always disliked her indiscriminate killing.
“But this killer is too bizarre. I couldn't risk it, so…” Hu Feng Toumi added by way of explanation.
Just looking at the tragic deaths of the men in suits in the store, one knew that this girl was by no means as harmless as she appeared, and she also didn't know what methods she used or what bizarre abilities she possessed…
In such a situation, the safest method was, of course, to not give her any chance to act and directly kill her.
“I'm not blaming you.” Lin Wuming said, “I just find it a bit incredible.”
“Incredible?”
“A bit unreal,” Lin Wuming said, “The enemy—this killer fell too quickly and too cleanly.”
One must know that Lin Wuming was prepared for a big battle, but before he even made a move, the enemy had already fallen…
The enemy went to great lengths to draw away Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto, but in the end, it resulted in this, which truly felt anticlimactic.
“Wuming, she's actually still alive.” Hu Feng Toumi glanced at the girl in the pool of blood, “Just now, this fellow ignored my warning and rushed forward, which ironically allowed her to dodge the fatal vital spot.”
