After all, the prototype of the “Collar Electrode” was originally intended for Accelerator's use — to ensure that Heaven Canceller could create equipment with the same effect as in the original work, Misaki Shokuhou naturally provided information and intelligence that closely matched the original version.
Misaki Shokuhou feigned innocence, “I thought that with the doctor's discerning eyes, he would definitely be able to tell that this was equipment customized for the nameless senior — I did say that those materials were ‘for reference only,’ after all.”
Heaven Canceller simply smiled. He had indeed seen through Misaki Shokuhou's intentions long ago, and he didn't refuse her request, creating the “Collar Electrode” and even optimizing it specifically for Lin Wuming; however, due to time constraints, the targeted optimization hadn't reached perfection.
Otherwise, how could Lin Wuming have mastered such precise brain-related instruments and equipment so easily?
Now, Heaven Canceller specifically said these words mainly to warn Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou — not to be too reckless.
“Brain injuries are really troublesome. Even I have illnesses that I can't cure,” Heaven Canceller said seriously.
Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou nodded in agreement, admitting their mistake.
After Heaven Canceller left the ward, Misaki Shokuhou stuck out her tongue towards the door.
“That sly doctor, he clearly wants to know what happens after Nameless Senior uses the Collar Electrode, yet he's lecturing us here.”
When he left just now, Heaven Canceller conveniently retrieved the “Collar Electrode,” saying he was preparing to improve and upgrade it.
Lin Wuming said, “He is Heaven Canceller, after all. It's okay to be lectured a few times.”
Showing some respect to a true big shot who can save lives doesn't hurt, especially for someone like Lin Wuming, who often needs to be hospitalized.
“Let's not worry about that for now,” Misaki Shokuhou moved closer to Lin Wuming, staring at him intently. “Nameless Senior, how are you feeling now?”
“To be honest, not good,” Lin Wuming frowned. He knew very well that there was no point in hiding or lying in front of this girl. “It seems I overdid it at Misawa Cram School just now. Now, as soon as I think about activating my ability, I get a headache.”
“Headache…” Misaki Shokuhou also frowned tightly. “I guess we should call the doctor back.”
“No need,” Lin Wuming quickly stopped her. “The doctor already knew about this, that's why he warned me like that. Don't worry, it's just a normal headache.”
“Normal headache?”
“It's like…” Lin Wuming thought for a moment. “Like using your brain intensely for three days and three nights without sleep, something similar to that?”
Misaki Shokuhou's expression was subtle. “Has Nameless Senior had such an experience before?”
“Yes, I have,” Lin Wuming nodded. “When I was rushing to write my thesis.”
To develop his psychic abilities, Lin Wuming specialized in microscopic physics. Although he hasn't obtained his degree yet, he has actually published his papers.
“So that's when it was,” Misaki Shokuhou also realized. “So, that means Nameless Senior's symptoms… aren't really that serious?”
“Yes,” Lin Wuming said. “I think I just need a good night's sleep.”
“Then hurry up and sleep!” Misaki Shokuhou immediately pounced over, pushed Lin Wuming onto the bed, and then covered him with the blanket. “Rest early and recover quickly! I'll sing a lullaby…”
“Uh, there's no need to rush,” Lin Wuming said with a wry smile. “I was just making an analogy. I'm not really sleepy right now…”
Misaki Shokuhou smiled and picked up the remote control. “So, I'll sing a lullaby for Senior~”
— Is it really a “lullaby”?
Lin Wuming complained inwardly, and then his consciousness slowly sank into slumber.
Seeing Lin Wuming's head turned to one side, emitting even breaths, Misaki Shokuhou reached out her finger and poked his cheek.
After confirming that Lin Wuming was really asleep, the girl adjusted the blanket for him.
“Good night, sweet dreams~”
Looking down at the boy's peaceful sleeping face, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly seemed to lose the strength supporting her body and slowly slumped to the ground.
Leaning on the bedside, the girl let out a long sigh, “Damn it, I almost messed up…”
This time, her decision to let Lin Wuming use the Collar Electrode without permission almost backfired and harmed him.
The warning from Doctor Heaven Canceller just now was not alarmist.
Lin Wuming had been warned too many times, so he just felt that it was no different from those warnings in the past and didn't take it to heart.
The main reason she was so eager to let Lin Wuming sleep and recuperate was to help him recover his health as soon as possible.
In this way, the mistake she made would be equivalent to being erased.
“As long as Nameless Senior recovers his health, then no one will know my mistake…” Misaki Shokuhou tapped her head. “Oh dear, I forgot to ask Nameless Senior how the ‘Collar Electrode’ worked!”
If the experiment was successful, then this adventure would be worth it…
“Queen, why are you sitting on the ground?” Ruiko Sagara and the others entered the ward and immediately saw Misaki Shokuhou sitting by the bed.
Seeing Lin Wuming, who was already asleep on the bed, Ruiko Sagara was immediately shocked, “Nameless Senior, he…”
“He's just asleep,” Misaki Shokuhou quickly said. “The doctor said he needs to rest.”
As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou struggled to get up from the ground.
Ruiko Sagara quickly went up to help her.
“Nameless Senior, he really…”
“He's really okay!” Misaki Shokuhou said. “If something really happened, I would have summoned all the doctors here already.”
“Yeah, yeah, that's true.” Dolly and Polly walked forward together, then each stepped aside, revealing the girl hidden behind them. “Shokuhou-chan, we brought the person here.”
Mikoto Misaka… no, it should be said, the Misaka sister who had taken off her military night vision goggles — those night vision goggles were now in Dolly's hands.
She had disguised herself as Mikoto Misaka to sneak in — mixed in with Misaki Shokuhou's faction, all wearing Tokiwadai Middle School uniforms, she wouldn't be discovered.
“Misaka 10031, Misaka reports her number.” This Misaka sister seemed a little taciturn, but she wasn't afraid. She remained calm and composed.
