Chapter 808: A Miracle in the Infinite
After sending Hu Feng Toumi away, Lin Wuming himself also stood up and lunged out—if he rampaged in an open outdoor area, the collateral damage might be a little less.
Then, Lin Wuming lost consciousness, his esper ability went wild, and an endless surge of Nen exploded forth, stirring up an even more violent hurricane on the street.
At the same time, Lin Wuming’s body was also lifted by this chaotic force, looking at first glance as if he were suspended in mid-air.
This was the scene Shokuhou Misaki saw through Kihara Gensei’s perspective when she ‘descended’ from a long distance…
—It’s coming, the most crucial moment is almost here.
Seeing Lin Wuming’s current appearance, Kihara Gensei’s emotions became increasingly agitated. His eyes stared unblinkingly at the mid-air in front of him, his will so strong that even Shokuhou Misaki couldn’t make him avert his gaze for a moment.
—If Senior Wuming truly succeeds, you won’t escape either! According to you, the power that erupts at that instant is enough to destroy the entire city!
Shokuhou Misaki said, but Kihara Gensei didn’t care.
—It doesn’t matter. As long as I can witness the birth of Level 6, I will die without regrets.
—Madman!
Discovering that this was Kihara Gensei’s true thought, Shokuhou Misaki couldn’t help but curse.
—Heh heh, Shiokishi, you are not a scientist, so you cannot understand what it means to “die content in the evening after hearing the truth in the morning.”
Shokuhou Misaki was too lazy to bother with this person who had gone mad, and it was only at this moment that she finally confirmed…
“No, Our previous assumptions were all wrong!” Returning to the facility where the External Brain was located, Shokuhou Misaki’s main body said to Kazakiri Hyouka, “That old fox’s target is Senior Wuming!”
In Kazakiri Hyouka’s eyes, the Queen had only been briefly distracted for a moment, perhaps less than five seconds if counting the time.
Therefore, Kazakiri Hyouka had no idea what Shokuhou Misaki had experienced in those brief moments.
Shokuhou Misaki knew her confusion in her heart, but time was of the essence now, so without time to explain to Kazakiri Hyouka, Shokuhou Misaki continued to fully activate the External Brain.
If it weren’t for the lack of corresponding functions, Shokuhou Misaki would have loved to make the two super ‘brains’ in front of her work at overclocked speeds!
—Risking it? Of course, I’m risking it! I must stop Senior Wuming before that ‘moment’ the old fox spoke of!
Shokuhou Misaki made up her mind. With the External Brain’s enhancement, she decisively abandoned Kihara Gensei and instead lunged towards Lin Wuming.
Shokuhou Misaki was a frequent visitor to Lin Wuming’s sea of consciousness. To put it bluntly, she even understood his consciousness space better than Lin Wuming himself.
It was precisely because of this that Shokuhou Misaki was able to break into Lin Wuming’s sea of consciousness at this time.
Then, like a mud ox entering the sea, it didn’t cause the slightest ripple…
Shokuhou Misaki couldn’t make any struggle, nor did she even realize what went wrong, before she was lost in Lin Wuming’s sea of consciousness.
Facts proved that even a Level 5 esper specializing in mental consciousness was powerless when facing ‘time.’
After all, even Lin Wuming himself was also lost in his own sea of consciousness.
Or more precisely, he was lost in an infinitely extended ‘subjective time.’
Kihara Gensei’s plan succeeded; Lin Wuming’s subjective consciousness indeed fell into ‘infinite time.’
Because of the special effect of the Bullet Time ability, when facing a ‘fatal crisis,’ Lin Wuming’s subjective time flow rate would slow down until he took some action to resolve the ‘fatal crisis.’
If the root cause of the ‘fatal crisis’ could not be solved, then the Bullet Time state would continue, and the time flow rate would become even slower…
In other words, once Lin Wuming’s Bullet Time was activated, it would not stop—until he escaped the ‘fatal crisis’ and was successfully rescued.
Its theoretical basis is one of the four famous divine beasts of physics, “Zeno’s Turtle,” also known as Achilles’ Paradox.
Now, Lin Wuming’s predicament is that his body is indeed facing a ‘fatal crisis,’ only a step away from death.
But at the same time, he has lost control over his Nen, making it impossible to save himself using the Bullet Time state.
Thus, Lin Wuming could only watch helplessly as he slid into the abyss of ‘death’…
And under the mechanism of Bullet Time, it was destined that he could only infinitely approach death, but ‘never’ truly fall into the abyss of death.
As he got closer and closer to death, Lin Wuming’s subjective time flow rate was also stretched, slowing down a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times.
Ultimately, it became a kind of ‘infinity’…
Lin Wuming’s consciousness was lost in that final ‘infinity.’
And Shokuhou Misaki, after breaking into the sea of consciousness, plunged directly into this ‘infinity,’ swallowed by the concept of ‘time.’
After an unknown period of being lost and how much her soul had been ‘worn down,’ Shokuhou Misaki suddenly ‘came to her senses’ and gradually cheered up.
—Oh no, how much time has passed? Time… the concept of time no longer has meaning, right?
Because Shokuhou Misaki had a similar experience during the “Imaginary Hand” incident, she quickly understood the current situation this time and tried to regain her ‘self.’
—No matter how many times it happens, I can’t get used to it, this terrible experience… It’s truly amazing that Senior Wuming has been struggling in this kind of environment all this time!
“Shokuhou Misaki!” In a state of chaos and void, the girl uttered her own voice, “Come on, cheer up! I want to find Senior Wuming!”
Shokuhou Misaki disregarded her composure and shame, shouting her and Lin Wuming’s names loudly, occasionally mixing in bold confessions like “I love you.”
—The probability of finding Senior Wuming is already low, so shouting like this doesn’t matter. On the contrary, it can keep me awake. It’s truly a good method with multiple benefits!
“Senior Wuming! I love you!!!” Shokuhou Misaki shouted.
“Thank you.” A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, making Shokuhou Misaki’s heart stop.
No, considering the special state at this time, it would be more accurate to say “thought stopped,” wouldn’t it?
“No, saying thank you doesn’t seem appropriate in this situation.” Lin Wuming appeared behind Shokuhou Misaki. “How should I say it…”
Having also broken free from the curse named “Infinity,” Lin Wuming’s consciousness also seemed a bit out of sync.
Looking at the golden-haired, star-eyed girl in front of him, Lin Wuming thought for a moment and spoke again: “Shokuhou Misaki, I love you too.”
“!” The girl’s star-like eyes seemed to truly emit light. “It was worth it!”
Shokuhou Misaki opened her arms and cheered as she pounced forward.
