Chapter 875: Don't Run Away!
Lin Wuming complained in his heart—of course, this was actually him fantasizing to escape reality.
Lin Wuming was well aware of his current predicament; the feelings of Shokuhou, Hu Feng, and Misaka were all genuine, and they had already become a tangled mess.
Now, a Shirai Kuroko was added to the mix. Although Lin Wuming himself hadn't noticed, according to Shokuhou Misaki, this girl's feelings had already developed to an 'irreversible' point!
Facing the converging gazes of the girls, Lin Wuming only felt the sense of being cornered growing stronger.
“What happened? The atmosphere feels very serious,” Misaka Worst’s voice suddenly came from beside him.
This grown-up Misaka, wearing A Certain High School’s uniform, walked over with Kazakiri Hyouka.
Misaka Worst was clearly not completely ignorant; her undisguised expression showed that she was intentionally making an appearance at this moment to stir up trouble.
“You’re here too…” Misaka Mikoto sighed heavily, “Isn’t it messy enough here?”
Misaka Worst, however, snorted coldly: “If we don’t show up, we’ll probably be forgotten, won’t we? We clearly confessed face-to-face and declared Our sovereignty. Shokuhou, you’re too cunning; you clearly don’t intend to give us a chance.”
As 'competitors,' Shokuhou Misaki’s attitude towards Shirai Kuroko was completely different from her attitude towards the two of them, which naturally displeased Misaka Worst, so she decisively intervened.
Kazakiri Hyouka, on the other hand, had an expression similar to Hu Feng Toumi’s, seemingly uninterested in these chaotic matters.
As if showcasing her uniform, Kazakiri Hyouka spread her arms: “It doesn’t matter. No matter what, Our physical distance with Lin Wuming won’t change; the fact that I and Lin Wuming are the same kind won’t change.”
“You’re really persistent,” Misaka Worst said.
“It has always been so,” Kazakiri Hyouka pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a sharp white light. “The atmosphere is very tense.”
The atmosphere was certainly tense. The two of them, ignoring everyone else, sang in harmony and brazenly intruded into this group, pushing the already tense atmosphere to a new climax.
“Sure enough, it was a mistake not to settle it yesterday,” Shokuhou Misaki murmured to herself.
Among everyone present, Shokuhou Misaki’s direct combat power was the weakest, but hearing her soft whispers, everyone else’s hearts tightened, as if feeling some huge threat, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
Misaka Mikoto and Hu Feng Toumi had already entered a battle-ready state, and Shirai Kuroko was also silently calculating, preparing for Space Movement.
Feeling like they had stirred up a hornet’s nest, Misaka Worst and Kazakiri Hyouka finally stopped.
In terms of Level, the two of them should be the lowest among the people present; however, they still showed no reverence whatsoever.
“I am an AIM Diffusion Field aggregate; I’m not afraid of Level 5,” Kazakiri Hyouka turned to her ally. “What about you?”
Misaka Worst laughed heartily: “I am a collection of malice; I represent the desires of all the Misaka Sisters, so how could I lose?”
“You…” Lin Wuming realized that the situation was rapidly spiraling towards the worst possible outcome.
“Lin Wuming Senior, I don’t care anymore,” Shokuhou Misaki said, raising her remote control as if drawing a sword. “So all the pressure from now on is on you.”
—This battle is inevitable; find a way to deal with the aftermath!
“Damn it!” From the teaching building in the distance, Yun Chuanqin Ya observed the situation on the playground through binoculars. Although she couldn’t hear the sound, she understood lip-reading, so she could roughly piece together the scene.
“Do you really have to start a war here?” Yun Chuanqin Ya complained through gritted teeth, “Can that Lin Wuming guy really handle them?!”
She had clearly forgotten the fact that she herself was also stirring up trouble and watching the show.
“This is bad, this is bad,” Yun Chuanqin Ya observed nervously, “I thought Shokuhou Misaki would be more rational, but I didn’t expect her to be the first to flip the table… Is she still an immature little girl after all?”
But then again, if a Level 5’s Mental Out goes out of control, its destructive power will indeed exceed her expectations!
Cold sweat trickled down Lin Wuming’s forehead. He knew the situation was critical because of Shokuhou Misaki’s rampage; the other girls had also disregarded everything else and were caught in an imminent battle.
—I must do something to resolve this crisis!
But Lin Wuming also knew that at this moment, anything he did would be wrong.
The timing was wrong, and it was too late!
At this moment, Lin Wuming was like sitting on a powder keg; even the slightest bias would cause a huge explosion!
Lin Wuming knew he had to make a choice, but in this situation, he precisely couldn’t make a 'choice.'
The bitter fruit of repeatedly avoiding real problems finally appeared, and Lin Wuming finally pushed himself into a corner where there was no retreat—avoidance is shameful, and useless…
In fact, the reason Lin Wuming was so invested in this Level test, giving it far more attention than usual, was largely a form of 'avoidance.'
He wanted to drag this troublesome issue out for as long as possible, hoping to gain a moment to breathe and think.
Perhaps there’s an element of sophistry in saying this, but Lin Wuming was indeed very 鈍 to the feelings of the girls around him—after all, from the beginning, he hadn’t considered these little girls as potential romantic partners…
By the time he realized their feelings, it was already when the girls were directly attacking him.
And by this time, it was too late; Lin Wuming had already lost the space to make a 'choice.'
The silence and obviously abnormal atmosphere here finally attracted the attention of the many onlookers behind them.
Or rather, they had been paying attention to Lin Wuming’s situation from the beginning, and they could more or less tell that Lin Wuming seemed to be caught in some kind of love triangle.
However, because the parties involved were all high-Level ability users of Level 5 and Level 4, no one dared to disturb them for a while.
But now, the situation was clearly escalating further.
This was the Level test site, surrounded by various detection instruments.
From a certain moment just now, almost all instruments showed obvious abnormal data fluctuations.
Combined with the atmosphere among the group of girls over there, it was not difficult to imagine that a esper ability war could break out at any moment!
Kazakiri Hyouka’s figure flickered—the repulsive fluctuations of the AIM Diffusion Field in this area affected her.
Her sudden flicker was like lighting a fuse; the AIM Diffusion Fields of the other girls instantly erupted, so intensely that they directly interfered with reality.
Space was distorted as a result, and Shirai Kuroko’s expression was solemn; she had to temporarily change the parameters and correct the coordinates for Space Movement.
Lin Wuming’s mind went blank—or rather, there were too many thoughts, making him unable to make any effective decision.
So his body moved on its own…
He raised his derringer and pulled the trigger against his temple.
