A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1180 Everything is under control

As if finding it amusing, Misaki Shokuhou stared intently at Lin Wuming's face.

—As expected, for someone with such an awkward personality as the nameless senior, a straight-up attack is still the most effective!

Misaki Shokuhou knew exactly why she was reacting—her little complaint had worked.

Although this was not Misaki Shokuhou's original intention, and the thoughts that just poured out were just complaints and grumbles, although they were indeed her true feelings, Misaki Shokuhou never truly lost her mind.

On the contrary, that confession was more of a strategy to shake the overly rational, nameless senior.

What Lin Wuming didn't know was that the entire "experiment" process, which seemed thrilling, was actually under Misaki Shokuhou's control.

From the moment they first met, Lin Wuming was completely unguarded against Misaki Shokuhou's "psychological control," and this has remained true ever since... It's not that Misaki Shokuhou is boasting, but despite Lin Wuming's strength, she could completely manipulate him if she wanted to, and there's no possibility of breaking through this manipulation.

After all, the two of them were too familiar with each other. So familiar that Misaki Shokuhou knew every aspect of Lin Wuming, and she didn't even need to activate "Mental Control" to know what he was thinking. So familiar that Lin Wuming was subconsciously defenseless against Misaki Shokuhou.

In their special state, as long as Lin Wuming is still human, even if he advances to become a Level 6 Absolute Ability User, he will still be unable to escape Misaki Shokuhou's control.

Just now, in Lin Wuming's own perception, he once again experienced a breakthrough in his superpowers. But in reality, it was just that Misaki Shokuhou seized the opportunity and released him from his restraints when he was most tense and desperate, allowing him to activate his Nen ability normally. It was a fake "breakthrough in limits".

Everything was under Misaki Shokuhou's control.

Having experienced it firsthand more than once, Misaki Shokuhou was more familiar with the "bullet time" state than Lin Wuming had imagined.

This time, through the connection of "memory mapping", Misaki Shokuhou was also able to use the "bullet time" state to exert extreme control over the entire experimental process.

Misaki Shokuhou's "Mental Control" is essentially a superpower of "manipulating water flow"—manipulating the water flow within the human body.

It's somewhat unbelievable that the strongest psychological and mental superpowers are indirectly controlled by manipulating the flow of water within her brain; therefore, Misaki Shokuhou is also adept at micro-manipulation.

As she pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced her temple, Misaki Shokuhou enveloped the bullet in a layer of water.

While it can't truly stop a bullet, it can at least delay it slightly.

In "bullet time" mode, even an extra microsecond can be a significant amount of time.

Misaki Shokuhou believed that even for such a brief moment, Lin Wuming could pull her back from the brink of "death".

On this point, Misaki Shokuhou believed him even more than Lin Wuming himself.

Of course, even so, there is still an element of gambling; if she is not careful, Misaki Shokuhou will still face the risk of serious injury or even death.

This is why Lin Wuming felt lingering fear and even some annoyance.

After the "man-made crisis" was resolved, Lin Wuming immediately took Misaki Shokuhou and Ellie, who had been implicated, to the hospital.

Because it concerned Misaki Shokuhou's life, Lin Wuming went all out, even developing an application technique to teleport with the two girls.

After his Nen ability was "reactivated," Lin Wuming's Nen and mental abilities were in a highly active state. The feeling of being "omnipotent" was even clearer, to the point that Lin Wuming himself felt somewhat fearful. —So… the "experiment" was a success?

This thought crossed Lin Wuming's mind.

However, upon closer analysis, it seems there's no fundamental difference from before. He hasn't actually advanced to become a Level 6 Absolute Ability User; as for the feeling of "controlling everything" and "omnipotence" from his Nen ability, he had already sensed it during his recent battle with Archangel Gabriel, so it's nothing new.

The results of the "experiment" seem to be far less than expected.

Lin Wuming sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of loss. Not only had he failed to achieve anything, but he had almost dragged Misaki Shokuhou down with him…

On the way to the hospital, Misaki Shokuhou ignored everything else around her and just stared intently at Lin Wuming's face, observing him carefully.

—From appearance to inner thoughts.

Was the "experiment" successful?
Misaki Shokuhou has a different opinion on this point.

Of course, because this "experiment" was too special, with no precedent and no reliable theoretical basis to support it, even Misaki Shokuhou could not provide any convincing evidence that Lin Wuming's strength had been improved.

Looking back at the entire "experiment," it becomes clear that rather than being an experiment based on "scientific thinking," it was more like a mystical ritual decided on a whim.

Or to put it more bluntly, this is a "lie" carefully woven by Misaki Shokuhou.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Wuming's abilities did not undergo any fundamental changes; after all, apart from lies and convincing acting skills, they did not invest anything else.

However, as a "psychic," Misaki Shokuhou believes in the power of thoughts and spirits, and also believes that lies have the ability to distort the real world.

It's important to understand that Lin Wuming's "bullet time" is triggered by a "fatal crisis," and the so-called "fatal crisis" is inherently a very subjective and serious matter.

Combined with "thought mapping" and "psychological control"... Misaki Shokuhou finally gained the power to change the real world.

—The nameless senior's strength has definitely improved, and he has become even stronger!

Misaki Shokuhou stared intently at Lin Wuming, and even after arriving at the hospital and lying on the hospital bed, she still did not look away.

Seeing the girl's unwavering determination, the experienced and knowledgeable doctor of the underworld could only sigh and say nothing more.

After all, Misaki Shokuhou was quiet and seemed to be in good condition, only staring at Lin Wuming's face, which did not hinder his diagnosis.

After the initial diagnosis, Misaki Shokuhou was moved to another room and underwent a comprehensive physical examination using various instruments.

Of course, Lin Wuming accompanied her throughout the entire process, never leaving her side. Even though Misaki Shokuhou didn't speak or express anything through telepathy, they had spent so much time together that Lin Wuming could understand some things implicitly.

—For example, right now, Misaki Shokuhou wants me to be by her side…
