Chapter 1105 The Reason for Not Killing

"I take back my previous assessment. Wind Ahead, you are even more tenacious than I expected."

As Lin Wuming spoke, he opened the medical pod and stepped out.

The blood flowing from the wound on his chest stained his robe dark. Due to excessive blood loss, Qianfang Zhifeng's gaze was somewhat vacant, but he still stared intently at Lin Wuming.

"Lin Wuming..."

The wind ahead raised the warhammer, now only half-baked, and staggered into the ward.

Behind her, Misaka Mikoto and Kakine Teitoku followed, facing each other; for some reason, they were more wary of each other than of the wind in front of them.

At the same time, Fuse. Wind Slash appeared directly in the room through spatial teleportation. In order to adapt to the indoor space, the light wings behind him gradually dissipated, and the halo above his head also turned into light particles and dissipated.

But no one dared to underestimate this special girl because of that.

...Apart from the wind in front of her, she seemed not to see these people, and walked towards Lin Wuming with determination and persistence.

"She's really tenacious," Shirai Kuroko appeared behind Lin Wuming. "Wuming-senpai, should we take her down?"

Beside Shirai Kuroko stood the expressionless Tomi, who seemed still annoyed at not being able to kill her in one strike, and was staring intently at her target.

Upon hearing Shirai Kuroko's question, everyone present except for the Wind in the Foreground looked at Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming dislikes killing—this is no secret.

Although Lin Wuming has indeed committed a considerable number of killings, it is undeniable that, based on his daily behavior, he is indeed a "pacifist" who dislikes killing; even if this is all a pretense, at least so far no one has been able to expose him.

In the heat of battle, it's one thing to lose control and kill the enemy, but given Lin Wuming's personality, he wouldn't go so far as to wipe out the enemy when he has an overwhelming advantage.

Influenced by Lin Wuming, the girls who were familiar with him consciously began to show mercy after realizing that the wind ahead had no chance of turning the tide, striving to capture the enemy alive rather than kill him.

Even Tiger Bee could only suppress the urge to strike again and complete the assassination, silently following the wind all the way to the hospital.

Only Kakine Teitoku expressed his incomprehension of this.

At this moment, the "Heavenly Punishment Technique" has been lifted, and Kakine Teitoku's true form has been activated. Having regained his peak strength, he can kill the intruder at any time and complete the mission.

Unfortunately, she was stopped by Misaka Mikoto, who arrived almost at the same time.

One side wanted to kill, the other side wouldn't allow it, and in the stalemate, the wind in front of them somehow managed to walk all the way into the hospital and stand in front of Lin Wuming.

Having fully recovered, Lin Wuming was naturally not afraid of the wind ahead. He did not stop the other party from walking up to him.

But then he didn't do anything more, and didn't even say another word.

"Has she already lost consciousness?" Lin Wuming waved his hand in front of her eyes. "You got here entirely because of your obsession."

Although the tiger wasp's honey-penetrating attack didn't hit the heart, it still created a wound that was bleeding continuously.

The wind ahead has come a long way, leaving a long trail of bloody footprints behind it. If it had taken a few more steps, it might have died from blood loss.
Lin Wuming carefully observed the woman in front of him and found that apart from the wounds caused by the tiger wasps' honeybee stings, she had no other obvious injuries.

Of course, the damage caused by the "artificial heaven" must be considerable, but it is not obvious and cannot be seen on the surface.

Lin Wuming knew what was going on. While using his telekinesis to operate the medical pod behind him, skillfully adjusting various parameters, he looked up at the door and said, "Doctor, can I borrow this medical pod for a few more days?" "Please go ahead," said Mingtu Zhuihun. "But you should know that being treated here means she becomes my patient and is under my protection."

Therefore, interrogation for information is no longer an option.

Lin Wuming nodded and used his telekinesis to pull the wind in front of him into the medical pod.

“Let’s heal her first,” Lin Wuming said, glancing at the fuse. “To ensure safety, this ward must be kept in an ‘artificial heaven’ 24/7.”

“No problem,” Feng Zhan nodded and said. “Chairman Aleister just conveyed the same message; he will support this plan.”

The Underworld Soul Chaser sighed helplessly, "You guys are becoming more and more alike... But so be it, as long as you don't harm my patients."

After saying that, the doctor waved his hand and turned to leave with a very nonchalant air.

Lin Wuming asked Feng Zhanbinghua, "You mean Aleister... what exactly does he mean?"

Lin Wuming's reason for not killing, and even saving Qianfang Zhifeng, is simple: besides his consistent "no-killing principle," the main reason is the original plot.

According to information from the original story, the reason why Wind Ahead hates modern science so much is because of an accident she experienced when she was young. She and her younger brother were both injured and lost too much blood. However, because they both had rare blood types, only one of them could be saved, and her brother tragically died.

After that, Wind Ahead became obsessed with hating "science that failed to save its brother".

For someone who had become so obsessive as to be unreasonable, Lin Wuming felt that rather than killing her, saving her in the way she hated most and letting her live was, in a sense, the best punishment.

Without violating one's own principles, one might even be able to offer redemption to the other party...

Even from a more pragmatic perspective, given that Qianfangzhifeng is a high-ranking member and top combatant in the enemy camp, keeping her alive is definitely more valuable than killing her directly.

As for Chairman Aleister's motives, they were even more straightforward.

—For the purpose of the experiment.

The Wind Ahead is the first target achievement since the "Artificial Celestial Realm" came into actual combat, and it is also a top-tier existence on the magic side—such a perfect "experimental subject" is not easy to find.

Lin Wuming asked Feng Zhanbinghua to deploy an "artificial celestial barrier" in the ward in order to prevent the wind in front of him from suddenly attacking people after regaining consciousness.

Aleister made the same request, but in order to observe the effects of this mage chieftain on the "artificial heaven" environment.

The doctor from the underworld immediately realized what Chairman Aleister meant.

But if it's just "observation," he won't say much.

None of the girls objected to Lin Wuming's decision. Hu Feng Toumi simply put away the ribbon and stood behind Lin Wuming.

Kakine Teitoku was clearly not satisfied with this outcome, but as a member of the Anbu, he had no right to continue the conflict after receiving notification of the mission's completion and all the rewards.

After glancing one last time at the woman submerged in the medical pod, Kakine Teitoku snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Considering Kakine Teitoku's dismal performance throughout the battle, his resentment at this moment is understandable.
