Chapter 702: Misplaced identity

The original owner of this body had long since died—because in a sense, he was “himself,” Lin Wuming could clearly feel this.

While mourning in his heart, Lin Wuming's mood was also a little complicated.

Looking down at Kobayashi, who was lying on the bed and heading towards his final demise, Lin Wuming finally shook his head silently: “No matter what, it’s not bad news for me.”

Shokuhou Misaki also said at this time: “In my opinion, Senior Wuming is Senior Wuming! So there’s no need to worry too much. For Our, everything is actually the same as before, it has never changed.”

“That’s true.” Lin Wuming smiled. He was just suddenly emotional, and he wouldn't be shaken by it. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s also a good opportunity to say a complete goodbye to him—from now on, I am truly myself.”

Hu Feng Toumi, by the bedside, also nodded, then showed a thoughtful expression and asked, “Speaking of which, Senior Wuming, your Nen—can it still be activated normally?”

esper ability is the embodiment of “Personal Reality,” and Lin Wuming’s Nen was a esper ability he already possessed before he crossed over, it was Kobayashi’s “legacy.”

Now that Kobayashi had truly passed away, what about his Nen…

Lin Wuming raised his hand to feel it, and nodded slightly: “The Nen is still there, it doesn’t seem to be affected… Huh?”

As if receiving some kind of hint, Lin Wuming suddenly froze: “That’s right, I can directly interfere with reality with my Nen!”

As he spoke, in Hu Feng Toumi’s line of sight, a faint phantom suddenly appeared—just above Lin Wuming’s hospital bed, where Lin Wuming’s “spiritual body” was located, the air distorted, vaguely outlining a human figure.

Feeling the special disturbance of the indoor air, the other people in the room also looked up and noticed the blurry, fleeting figure.

“What is that? A ghost?” Shirai Kuroko gasped, seemingly frightened, but then her eyes lit up as she looked over, “‘Hospital Ghost’? I haven’t heard of this urban legend for a long time.”

“Haruue! Don’t talk nonsense at a time like this!”

Beside Shirai Kuroko, Shokuhou Misaki quickly tugged at her clothes, reminding her softly: “Look at the atmosphere, Haruue!”

“No wonder Shokuhou, you’ve been looking at the ceiling…” Just then, Misaka Worst also said, “So Senior Wuming is there?”

“Yes… Yes… It… is…” The air in the room vibrated, making strange and noisy sounds, with faint words seemingly mixed in.

Lin Wuming tried to “speak” by vibrating the air, but the result was not very successful.

His efforts to appear by distorting the air were also very difficult, and in the end, he could only create a blurry ghost…

To be fair, Lin Wuming didn’t feel his Nen had weakened, it was just… a little “unfamiliar.”

After all, he currently had no body, but was a pure spiritual consciousness. In this situation, how to activate a esper ability based on brain computing power was already a mystery.

Rather, it was already a miracle that Lin Wuming could still activate his Nen. He really couldn't ask for more.

The girls in the ward immediately became excited, surrounding Hu Feng Toumi and pressing her for confirmation of Lin Wuming’s condition.

For a time, Shokuhou Misaki was busy dealing with them and had no time to attend to Lin Wuming.

So, Lin Wuming took the opportunity to continue trying, thinking that he should at least be able to stabilize his figure and establish stable interaction with others.

However, the more anxious he became, and the harder he tried, the more his success rate declined.

After several attempts, let alone a clear and stable image, even the initial “ghost” could not be formed; he just stirred up gusts of cold wind in the room.

“…” Eventually, even Lin Wuming himself felt speechless.

He was a Level 5 Telekinetic User, yet his performance was worse than an initial Level 3!

“Don’t… don’t be discouraged, Senior Wuming!” Shokuhou Misaki seemed to have finally dealt with the matters around her and had the energy to communicate with Lin Wuming again. “I think Senior Wuming is just not familiar with his current special state, which is why he can’t unleash his full power! As long as he adapts a little more, there will be no problem!”

“This kind of adaptation to a special state… I’d rather not have it.” Lin Wuming complained, “I… Huh? Shokuhou, you…”

Lin Wuming suddenly felt something strange and immediately looked down at Hu Feng Toumi.

“Mm-hmm, as expected of Hu Feng Tong Xue, she’s really cool, even holding the remote control looks cool.” Shokuhou Misaki’s voice sounded in Lin Wuming’s consciousness—just like when she used to speak directly in Lin Wuming’s mind.

“Even though they are both blonde beauties, they are indeed two different styles.”

Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be using Lin Wuming’s “perspective” to observe her current appearance.

As if looking in a mirror, Hu Feng Toumi suddenly struck a few poses on the spot, leaving the girls around her bewildered, not knowing what this Queen was doing.

“Senior Wuming, turn your head and look at the others too.” As if controlling a camera’s perspective, Shokuhou Misaki said.

Lin Wuming did not refuse—due to the Angel Fall incident, he also needed to re-familiarize himself with everyone in the ward.

“Runzi-jie!”

Hu Feng Toumi suddenly spoke: “I’m thirsty, can you buy me a bottle of water…”

Noticing a water dispenser in the corner of the ward, she quickly changed her words: “I want to drink strawberry milk, can you buy that for me?”

Kazakiri Hyouka, of course, would not refuse this small request from the “Queen.”

“I understand, Queen, please wait a moment. I remember there’s a vending machine in the lobby on the first floor… Does anyone else want a drink? I can buy them all at once.”

Misaka Mikoto looked around and asked everyone with a smile.

“So she’s Kazakiri Hyouka? No wonder…” Lin Wuming was a little speechless.

No wonder Shokuhou Misaki suddenly wanted to order her around.

It wasn't being willful, she just simply wanted to see Misaka Mikoto running errands for her, right?

Using Lin Wuming’s perspective, Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be wearing special glasses, able to see through the truth behind the “Angel Fall” effect.

Because of this, she discovered a special kind of fun.

“So Haruue is in my body now?” Then, finding her own figure in the ward, Shokuhou Misaki exclaimed, “Our skilled way of playing with the handheld computer is also very cool!”
