A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 654 Interference with Reality
Shokuhou Misaki had already introduced how to use the "collar electrode" during the call just now; so Lin Wuming took the "collar electrode" and put it on without any hesitation.

"Fingerprint unlock, long press for two seconds to turn on?" Lin Wuming touched the device's switch, "That takes a bit long..."

Although he has not yet entered the "bullet time" state, in order to cope with the current harsh environment, Lin Wuming is now operating his telekinesis in milliseconds.

That's why he almost didn't speak a word just now, because his speaking efficiency was too low and unbearable.

But now, the two-second boot time...

I guess when designing the boot mode, Dark Souls directly borrowed the common modules available on the market, so it takes these two long seconds?

In order to equip this "collar electrode", Lin Wuming's original fighting rhythm has been disrupted, and the two seconds of startup time now makes things even worse.

Because of a moment of distraction, Lin Wuming's mental barrier was pierced by a wheel-sized meteorite, which crashed down between the two wheelchairs.

Gravel and rain splashed everywhere, and Kamijou Touma, who was closest to them, became the victim...

"Unfortunate!"

Despite his habitual wailing, Kamijou Touma reacted without delay, already crouching down and curling up, using the wheelchair's structure as much as possible to block the debris. Aside from being soaked by the rain, he wasn't actually injured.

The moment the mental barrier was breached, Lin Wuming knew that the situation was not good. He did not care about anything else and released all his mental power.

The invisible mental power spread out in all directions with Lin Wuming as the core.

Although the strength of telekinesis is limited, it can still provide protection from wind and rain.

Even the more destructive meteorites and lightning were delayed for a moment...

This "moment" is what we want, and the "collar electrode" is finally activated!
——There is no special feeling.

This was also the first time Lin Wuming used this, so he couldn't help but wonder if something went wrong.

"Senior Wuming, the signal channel is stable, ready to access the system."

It was a very strange feeling. Misaka Mikoto's voice sounded directly in her mind for the first time - almost like a telepathic call with Shokuhou Misaki.

No wonder there was no reaction just now, because Lin Wuming was now inside Misawa Academy, a "different world" created by the alchemist. It was not an easy task to establish a connection with the "Misaka Network" outside.

And this was the first time for Misaka Mikoto, who was acting as a signal relay, to perform such an operation.

——The hardware is turned on, so next we need to open the software, right?

Lin Wuming had no time to complain, and quickly used his telepathic ability to prepare to hold on for some more time.

But this time Lin Wuming didn't have to wait.

Just as he spread out his telekinesis, Lin Wuming felt his consciousness being "pulled" as if he were suddenly brought into another world...

The separation of body and consciousness gave Lin Wuming a special feeling similar to that of a third-person observer.

——Just like when I used the "Fantasy Hand" before.

At the same time, Lin Wuming's released mental power replaced his body... to be more precise, it replaced his original five senses.

These telekinetic powers have limited strength, but they are perfect signal collectors.

Sound, light, electricity...all kinds of signals were captured by telekinesis and fed back into Lin Wuming's mind as information intelligence.

Telekinesis is an "all-powerful ability", and Lin Wuming's telekinesis is good at fine manipulation, so the accuracy of his information collection has exceeded the level of most laboratories.

However, under normal circumstances, Lin Wuming would not be able to process such overly detailed information, so in most cases he would filter it out as useless noise.

But now it’s different…

—The channel was established, and data was uploaded. After being relayed and amplified by Misaka Mikoto, the information gathered from the "magic realm" appeared in a powerful manner above Academy City.

Next comes the normal working process of the "collar electrode".

"Misaka Network" received the information, transferred it again, and entered "tree diagram designer".

Before this, Shokuhou Misaki specifically applied for all the computing power resources of the "Tree Diagram Designer" in the name of Lin Wuming.

So the "tree designer," operating at full power, gets the information and starts calculating.

——Calculation completed, data downloaded.

Then go through the same process in reverse and return to Lin Wuming's mind.

At this time, the "magic field" around Lin Wuming has been transformed into a series of parameters and formulas that can be understood by the scientific side through calculation.

——Unlocking the "Superpower Catalog", parameter comparison, secondary calculation...

“What…what happened?” Kamijou Touma’s eyes widened.

Even someone like him who was destined to have no "superpowers" could feel that something was happening.

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but step back to prevent his "Fantasy Breaker" from interfering with Lin Wuming's actions.

A short yet long second passed.

Lin Wuming opened his eyes, and everything around him was calm.

"Wow!" Kamijou Touma, who witnessed the whole scene, couldn't help but exclaim.

Everything within about ten meters around them suddenly became calm - the strong wind stopped, the rain disappeared, and the other messy flying objects were also frozen in mid-air.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and everything in this area remained as it was at that moment, frozen in place...

But this miracle only lasted for a short time.

In the blink of an eye, disaster once again swept towards them with terrifying momentum.

Lin Wuming was not surprised by this.

After all, what he just did was still just to counter each move and resolve the "phenomenon" around him.

—When encountering strong winds, it slows down the airflow; when encountering rain, it heats it and turns it into water vapor; when encountering hail or meteorites, it reduces their kinetic energy...

—If the ground beneath your feet cracks, use your telekinesis to pinch it together; if magma gushes out, let it cool and solidify...

Each one was a trivial operation, even if it could be done with only level 1 Nen ability; but countless trivial operations were carried out simultaneously...

In the end, the "miracle" just now happened.

Lin Wuming really doesn't understand magic, nor can he understand the principles of magic.

But one thing is certain - the so-called magic is, after all, a means of "interfering with reality."

Almost like a superpower, actually.

Since everything will eventually be reflected in the real world, what Lin Wuming has to do is very simple.

——Just interfering with the real world, which is exactly what people with super powers have always done.
