A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1083: Gathering Forces

To ensure she wouldn't harbor any hostility and be attacked by the enemy's spells, Kanzaki Kaori checked again to make sure that Itsuki had no other injuries besides the "Heavenly Punishment Spell." Only then did Kanzaki Kaori put the girl down with mixed feelings and come to Lin Wuming.

"Nameless, besides the 'Heavenly Punishment Technique,' your injuries..." Kanzaki Kaori didn't finish her sentence because there were too many wounds, and she felt at a loss for where to begin.

It's not just the tiny wounds all over the body; in fact, the muscles, blood vessels, internal organs, and bones beneath the skin are all damaged to varying degrees.

The whole person was like a dilapidated building, swaying and teetering on the brink of collapse.

—A full-force attack from the "Right of the Holy" is not so easy to withstand.

It is only through Nen ability that the structure and function of this body are maintained.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't even dare to touch Lin Wuming directly, for fear that she might accidentally break him.

In her view, it was unbelievable that Lin Wuming was still alive and could remain so calm.

“The Amakusa-style team will be here soon,” Kanzaki Kaori said. “Until then, let’s try to treat them.”

As she spoke, she began rummaging through her pockets, searching for the tools she would use to cast spells.

However, given Kanzaki Kaori's rather revealing attire, she was destined not to carry too many props; this time, she was crossing the strait in her physical body, speeding all the way from England to Avignon, and in pursuit of speed, she didn't bring any extra props.

Moreover, as a saint, she really doesn't need any other fancy props besides the Seven Days, Seven Cuts, and steel wire.

Fortunately, Itsuki's travel bag was still there, and Kanzaki Kaori quickly gathered all the necessary items for the ritual.

Noticing Kanzaki Kaori's movements, Lin Wuming asked, "Are you planning to use magic on me?"

"It's treatment. Wuming, your physical condition has deteriorated to the point that it's unbearable to look at."

“I appreciate your kindness,” Lin Wuming said, “but don’t waste your energy, your magic probably won’t work on me.”

"How could that be?" Kanzaki Kaori shook her head and said, "Don't worry, although I rarely use it myself, I have mastered all the Amakusa-style techniques."

“That’s not what I meant…” Lin Wuming said, raising his head.

A strand of white hair on her forehead quietly shimmered with a halo, and tiny specks of white light could be vaguely seen floating around the hair.

"This is..." Kanzaki Kaori gasped, immediately recalling what had happened.

“This is another ‘curse’ on me,” Lin Wuming said. “‘The Dragon King’s Sigh’ is extremely domineering; it does not allow any other magic or magical effects to appear within my body.”

Not only ordinary "curses" are devoured, but healing magic is treated the same way.

Even Lin Wuming's own magic power...

In other words, Lin Wuming's situation was special. He personally cast spells only to "commit suicide," so strictly speaking, he had never successfully cast a spell.

In Lin Wuming's premonition, even if he could successfully cast the spell, he would be devoured by the "Dragon King's Sigh" residing in his hair at the final step.

It was only because the "Heavenly Punishment Technique" of the Wind Ahead was of such a high rank, belonging to the true "power of angels," that it was able to avoid being devoured.

On the other hand, Lin Wuming suspected that the reason he could still maintain normal mental activity and continue to freely manipulate his Nen abilities after being hit by the "Heavenly Punishment Technique" was also thanks to the "Dragon King's Sigh." Kanzaki Kaori stared at the white hair on Lin Wuming's forehead, lost in thought for a while, before finally deciding to give it a try and activating the magic.

The result was naturally like throwing a stone into the sea, producing no effect whatsoever.

Not only the "Dragon King's Sigh," which exists in a strange state, but even the "Heavenly Punishment Spell" poses a huge obstacle to healing magic.

The effect of the "Divine Punishment Spell" is physiologically manifested as forcibly putting a human into a state of suspended animation—there is no point in using healing magic on the dead.

Kanzaki Kaori was helpless. Soon after, the Amakusa group also arrived. After brainstorming, they still couldn't do anything about Lin Wuming's injuries or the "Heavenly Punishment Technique".

Lin Wuming himself wasn't too worried. As long as his Nen ability remained, he was confident he could maintain the stability of his body and, to some extent, overcome the state of suspended animation caused by the "Heavenly Punishment Technique," allowing him to perform minimal actions.

Of course, for ease of movement, Lin Wuming once again sat in a wheelchair—which Amakusa had found and repaired from the city's waste on his way there.

"What can we do?" The Amakusa members looked at the unconscious Itsuki with great concern. "We've tried everything, but we can't wake Itsuki up... Do we have to defeat the Wind in the Foreground to break her spell?"

Not to mention that defeating a God's Right Seat is an extremely demanding condition, even if they wanted to, it's uncertain whether they could find the Wind Ahead.

“Don’t worry too much,” Lin Wuming reassured them, “Actually, there is an even simpler and more feasible method.”

As he spoke, Lin Wuming looked up at the sky: "Kamijou Touma, if he had his 'Imagine Breaker'..."

……

"Here we are."

In the hospital's largest conference room, Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto suddenly appeared beside the podium.

After bowing and greeting the senior students who had already arrived in the conference room, Shirai Kuroko stepped down from the stage and found an empty seat.

Misaka Mikoto hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to sit down next to Shirai Kuroko.

Because she was called to do a check-up, Misaka Mikoto was delayed for a little while. When they arrived, Shokuhou Misaki and Tohmi were already there.

Moreover, not only them, but also Junko Hokaze and Maria Kumokawa appeared in the conference room.

The person in charge of chairing the meeting was none other than Yun Chuan Qin Ya!
"We're still missing a few people," said Serahi Kumokawa to Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, who had just arrived. "Please wait patiently for a moment."

"Who's missing?" Misaka Mikoto looked at the people present. "Could it be the extra characters and Kazakiri Hyouka and the others?"

“It’s them,” Yun Chuanqin nodded, “and of course, the randomly selected mass-produced clones, and the final signal.”

"Huh? The sisters? It's related to them?" Misaka Mikoto was a little surprised, then subconsciously turned around to look at Shokuhou Misaki.

"Stop wasting time," Misaki Shokuhou said impatiently, clearly already aware of what was going on. "Time is of the essence, don't drag things out any longer!"

Just then, the extra individual and Kazakiri Hyouka finally arrived.

A little while later, Accelerator and Final Signal also arrived at the conference room; as for the Misaka Sisters, five of them walked in quietly!
