Drop your weapons and follow our instructions, or I’ll open fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His provocation riled them up again, and they cursed and yelled once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a dozen more people ran out of the bungalow, and some of them were especially trigger-happy. “Ah! Cops! Go to hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them raised his gun and fired at Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galvanized by how gutsy he was, the man’s colleagues raised their guns and shot at Luke too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distracted by Luke, nobody noticed that Selina had moved Miss Jenny to their car thirty meters away. Selina was also talking on the police intercom. “We’re under attack by a group of armed thugs. There are more than thirty of them. We need backup. Repeat, we need backup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the backseat, Miss Jenny observed the battle through the windshield in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Selina was done, Jenny finally asked in a trembling voice, “You’re not going to help your partner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina didn’t look at her, but simply observed their surroundings with the cameras on the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke himself had installed those cameras. There were twelve of them on the left, right, top and bottom of the car, leaving no blind angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glass was bulletproof too, and the important parts of the car had a double layer of bulletproofing. Luke had modified the engine using Bell’s and Tony Stark’s abilities, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to power this bulletproof car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there was no reason for Selina to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now in the driver’s seat. If anything went wrong, this car itself would be a great weapon that could kill a lot of people when it was fast enough – it would be much more effective than shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Luke’s signal had indicated that he didn’t need her help for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had already slipped away from the Ford SUV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the simple test he had performed that morning, his Strength was now twelve times that of a regular person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with his Dexterity, which was four times that of a regular person, he was able to dash twenty meters in two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the environment for a moment, he confirmed that he was safe with his Sharp Nose. He chose a few possible locations for cover, then raised his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guys who were busy shooting and yelling cried and collapsed with bullets in their legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The WD-36 gangsters were stunned, with no idea what happened. How had that boy shot their people when he was hiding behind a car?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke took out a mirror and looked into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised that none of the gangsters were facing his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He craned his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two gangsters screamed and fell, gripping their legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had the instincts of a super shooter, he wouldn’t need to aim at all, and would be able to hit a couple of targets using the instinctive reactions of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instincts could only be nurtured with both talent and experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had enough Strength and Dexterity, but he had no experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, it might be better for him to add 20 to Mental Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To activate a number of super abilities, it was a prerequisite that all his basic attributes reach 20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physical Outburst and Curve Shooting from the female shooter Rebecca, for example, demanded 20 Mental Strength as a prerequisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to level up and increase his Mental Strength. He only needed one level-up for that, anyway. Thinking that, Luke looked at the confused WD-36 gangsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, he had killed the gang’s third in command. Could he wipe out the top two leaders of the gang in this quest to reap experience?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the case that Elsa gave him could be closed. After all, if WD-36 was completely destroyed, it wouldn’t be able to sell weed in Beverly Hills anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Luke looked at the gang members in his mirror, and craned his head again when nobody was looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhhhhhh!” This time, it wasn’t just the victims of his gunshots, but several of the other more high-strung gangsters also screamed before they fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was lost for words. Why are you running when you haven’t been shot yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cries were so loud that some neighbors opened their windows to see what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke could only switch positions and hide in the flowers and grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the plants as cover gave him more time, and he hit another four gangsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the gangsters seemed to finally realize what was going on. They yelled and looked for cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, however, had moved to a different location. Hiding in a tree behind the bungalow, he smiled at the stupid gangsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had taken down a dozen of their colleagues before they finally realized that they needed cover. Clearly, they had slow reflexes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lousy performance wasn’t surprising, however, since these gangsters only took advantage of ordinary people or other gangsters who weren’t any stronger than they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, Miss Jenny asked in shock, “Wait, is this all the work of Detective... Luther?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina glared at the rich girl in the rearview mirror and said, “His name is Luke, not Luther, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Jenny said awkwardly. “Well, I was too scared just now, and I didn’t quite catch his name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina chuckled coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny couldn’t help but shiver at the sound. She asked, “Can I borrow some clothes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina rolled her eyes and searched in a box, before she threw something into the backseat. “There’s nothing but this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny said, “Isn’t this too small?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Selina had given her was a common towel that was fifty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide – it could only serve as a short skirt at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she ward off the cold with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “We usually leave our house dressed, not like you coming out naked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Jenny argued timidly, “Actually, I didn’t come out willingly; they kidnapped me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, just a minute.” Selina did find it outrageous to just give her a towel.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e637d601724956f6668ca03728289f6f81f9623d46327b1d5c9d87ca4a4fc1b","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-229","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-227",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
