Chapter 814: Loss of Nen
Lin Wuming decided to sever ties with his Nen, which had already been 'Angelicized'.
He didn't know the principle behind it, but he instinctively realized there was a way to completely rid himself of this troublesome 'Angel'.
The moment he made the decision, Lin Wuming felt a sudden blur before his eyes, as if he had gained another perspective.
—The perspective of the 'Angel' opposite him.
Lin Wuming saw himself; a strand of white hair on his forehead glowed brightly as he made a downward chopping motion.
The 'Angel' let out its final wail, and under the attacks of 'Railgun' and 'Absolute Penetration', its body lost its form, transforming into boundless Nen that spread out in all directions like a fierce wind.
Lin Wuming knew he could seize the opportunity to recover this Nen—without the 'Angel' interfering, he would have sole control over his Nen.
Unfortunately, Lin Wuming, no longer in 'Bullet Time', didn't have enough time to recover the lost power.
Lin Wuming only managed to grasp the very last bit.
If converted into a numerical value, Lin Wuming had probably fallen back to Level 3 or even lower now.
“Tsk!” Lin Wuming shook his head helplessly, but he wasn't particularly disheartened.
When he decided to cut ties with the 'Angel', he had already mentally prepared himself to completely lose his Nen.
But the loss of Nen was only temporary; the fact that Lin Wuming was a Telekinetic User hadn't changed, so he only needed a period of recuperation to eventually recover his original strength.
Retaining even a portion of his power now was an unexpected bonus.
Lin Wuming stood suspended in the air amidst the strong wind, looking in a certain direction.
“I noticed you a long time ago!”
Using the Nen in the environment that he couldn't recover in time, Lin Wuming projected his consciousness into an office building at the end of the street.
“Kihara Gensei, we finally meet.” Lin Wuming greeted him.
Kihara Gensei was in a bad state at this moment; due to the successive violent tremors and the 'Angel's Wail' earlier, the old man had fallen to the ground, and his body was cut by broken glass, bleeding profusely and looking very miserable.
“Heh heh, what a pity.” Kihara Gensei still said with a chuckle, “Just a little bit more, and you could have become Level 6, the first scientific-side Angel.”
Lin Wuming stared at the old man lying on the ground for a moment, then turned and left directly: “I'll call an ambulance for you.”
Withdrawing his consciousness, Lin Wuming himself also landed back on the ground.
At this moment, the three girls on the ground were in a tense standoff.
Specifically, the atmosphere between Killer Ellie and Hu Feng Toumi was tense.
As for Misaka Mikoto, since she missed the scene where Killer Ellie launched her attack just now, she didn't immediately develop hostility towards this pathetic girl.
“Calm down, Hu Feng Tong Xue, I'm Shokuhou Misaki.” Killer Ellie quickly said, afraid that if she spoke too late, she would take a few sword strikes.
“I know.” Hu Feng Toumi snorted, “Get out of her body quickly, be careful not to get caught in my crossfire!”
“We can't let this child die!” Shokuhou Misaki said, “Her ability...”
“Of course I know her ability, that's why I must deal with her quickly!” Hu Feng Toumi said.
Now that Shokuhou Misaki had possessed her, it was certain that Killer Ellie's ability was no longer entangling Lin Wuming.
That's why Hu Feng Toumi wanted to quickly eliminate her, to prevent her from activating her ability again and taking Lin Wuming as a 'hostage'.
“Spare her, she won't and can't harm Senior Wuming anymore.” Shokuhou Misaki said, “Besides, her ability is useful.”
Hu Feng Toumi frowned, hesitating, but hearing Lin Wuming's footsteps behind her, she finally loosened the ribbon in her hand.
Shokuhou Misaki also breathed a sigh of relief: “That's great... I can't rush over right now anyway, so I'll just borrow this child's body.”
“Shokuhou?” Lin Wuming came somewhat reluctantly before Killer Ellie.
This girl was being controlled by Shokuhou Misaki—anyone familiar with her could probably tell, right?
At least Lin Wuming could faintly see stars twinkling in Killer Ellie's pupils...
“Senior Wuming, you...” Shokuhou Misaki also immediately noticed Lin Wuming's abnormality, “What's wrong with you?”
Hu Feng Toumi and Misaka Mikoto immediately followed, ready to support Lin Wuming from left and right.
Lin Wuming shook his head, declining the girls' help, and continued to ask Shokuhou Misaki: “Shokuhou, do you know Kihara Gensei...”
“I know, he's over there.” Shokuhou Misaki pointed to the office building at the end of the street, “But he...”
But that Kihara Gensei was a fake, a substitute who had been made up and brainwashed, and even he himself believed he was Kihara Gensei.
However, such a method, of course, couldn't deceive Shokuhou Misaki, an expert in the psychological and mental fields.
That's why Shokuhou Misaki left so decisively just now, without doing anything to that 'Kihara Gensei'.
Lin Wuming nodded: “I know he's fake. But we still can't let him go, Shokuhou, delete all his memories from today, then call an ambulance for him.”
“I understand.” Shokuhou Misaki nodded, “But Senior, you...”
“I'm fine,” Lin Wuming shook his head, “At least there's no life-threatening danger.”
As he spoke, Lin Wuming's body stumbled forward.
Shokuhou Misaki cried out in surprise, quickly spread her arms, and prepared to catch the falling boy.
But she was timely caught by Misaka Mikoto and Hu Feng Toumi, one on each side.
“Thanks, also help me call an ambulance.” Lin Wuming said with a wry smile, “The experience just now was too stimulating, it seems there are some after-effects.”
“Leave it to us.” Misaka Mikoto said, then urged, “Shokuhou, you hurry up and get busy, don't let the enemy escape!”
Shokuhou Misaki raised an eyebrow, but then looked down at her current body—it had been a long time since she had the experience of being able to see her own feet.
“Well, fine.” Shokuhou Misaki reiterated, “Don't kill this child, her ability is really useful!”
With that, Shokuhou Misaki transferred her consciousness again, returning to 'Kihara Gensei'.
According to Lin Wuming's request, she deleted the memories of this poor substitute.
Of course, Shokuhou Misaki didn't just simply delete memories, but openly left a message, telling him that he was used by Kihara Gensei, and the truth of today's events; however, according to Lin Wuming's request, all specific details involving the 'Level 6 Evolution Experiment' were deleted.
Shokuhou Misaki could guarantee that even if Kihara Gensei, that old fox, used 'Mental Out', he wouldn't be able to recover the memories she deleted!
—He wouldn't get a single piece of experimental data!
As for how effective this would actually be, Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki didn't have much hope, they could only say they did their best and left the rest to fate.
After all, the enemy was hidden and they were exposed, so it was difficult to take any effective countermeasures against the enemy in a hurry.
