A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 688: Third-rate Electric Shock User

It is called "ability reduction", but in fact it is an interference device. The principle is to interfere with the brain calculations of the person with super powers, thereby hindering or even sealing their super powers.

To be honest, this is nothing new. It can even be said to be quite classic and old-fashioned. After all, there are only a few ways to deal with people with super powers, and it is not difficult to guess.

However, this sudden attack was like a blow to Lin Wuming...Classic and old-fashioned methods often mean stability and effectiveness.

——But I am a level 5 after all, so I should be able to deal with this kind of interference, right?
Think carefully about how I dealt with "decline in ability" before and in the original work...

Well, by sabotaging the "degraded capability" equipment.

——This method is not applicable to the current situation.

Lin Wuming was on guard against possible follow-up attacks at any time while thinking about countermeasures.

——My telepathy...isn't gone, I just can't control it properly. If I have enough time, maybe I can get used to this state...

After realizing this, Lin Wuming suddenly relaxed.

In a sense, he never lacked time.

However, when one loses the ability to read thoughts, relying solely on "bullet time" is indeed not very safe.

Due to the lack of reliable means to resolve the fatal crisis, the fake may become real.

——Is there any other way?
Lin Wuming continued to think.

Just then, a familiar-looking multi-legged robot appeared at the end of the corridor - FIVE_Over.

A "superpower generator" that imitates level 5 and can be mass-produced.

Combined with the electric shock just now, it is not difficult to imagine the capabilities of this FIVE_Over.

It should be based on Misaka Mikoto's "A Certain Scientific Railgun", right?

Previously, this robot was hidden in a corner, so it could only use relatively more flexible electric current attacks.

But now, the two sides met in a narrow straight corridor, so the attack method that the other side would adopt...

I saw the body of the robot opposite open along the central axis, revealing a straight track.

"Here it comes!" Lin Wuming said.

It's the "A Certain Scientific Railgun"!
Even though these imitations are far less powerful than Misaka Mikoto herself, the "A Certain Scientific Railgun" is inherently overpowered. Even a degraded version of the railgun is more than enough to hit soft targets like the human body.

At the critical moment, Lin Wuming buckled the "collar electrode" around his neck.

After optimization and transformation by the Ghost Chaser, the "collar electrode" has completed the entire process of powering on and connecting to the Internet at the moment the buckle is closed.

In an instant, the system started up and connected to the "Misaka Network".

Computing power resources independent of Lin Wuming’s own brain are online.

The "Super Power Catalog" opens, and you can choose your power...

Due to the tight time schedule and the fact that the main computing power was provided by the "Misaka Network" at this time, it was natural that the first ability to be launched was the "Electric Shock User".

The "electric shock user" ability between level 3 and level 4 appeared in Lin Wuming.

Zilala... Amid the noisy sound of electric current, dazzling electric light surged out from Lin Wuming's hands, heading towards the electromagnetic cannon coming from the opposite side.

—Hmm… Calm down. Electromagnetic force is also a force. Just treat it as a special kind of telekinesis. I believe it won't be difficult to operate…

Lin Wuming muttered to himself while trying his best to control the electric current he released.

The strength of his impromptu "Electric Shocker" and the opponent's degraded electromagnetic cannon, a parody of Misaka Mikoto, was determined from the very beginning. If nothing unexpected or miraculous happened, he would undoubtedly lose!

After all, Lin Wuming was using unfamiliar abilities that did not belong to him. Regardless of the strength, he had a huge shortcoming in terms of proficiency alone.

It would be great if the system could use telekinesis at this moment - Lin Wuming thought to himself.

As mentioned before, the working principle of "ability reduction" is to affect the brain of the person with ability, interfere with his computing power, and thus achieve the effect of sealing the superpower.

In other words, "decline in ability" does not affect "superpower" itself.

In other words, as long as the problem of interference in the brain's computing power is solved, it is equivalent to solving the problem of "decline in ability".

Lin Wuming’s “collar electrode” happens to be such a prop.

Put the brain power needed to activate the ability elsewhere, bypassing the scope of "capacity reduction".

In this way, Lin Wuming can continue to use his abilities.

——Just like Accelerator in the original story.

However, the ability used by Accelerator in the original work is still his "vector operation", because the "Misaka Network" is equivalent to his external brain.

In reality, Lin Wuming's brain was not damaged, so what he needed was not an "external brain", but an "auxiliary computing" device to help him better utilize the resource of the "Superpower Catalog".

The difference between the two was finally revealed at this critical moment...

At the critical moment, Lin Wuming was unable to use his most proficient mind power, and went from a first-rate mind user to a third-rate electric shock user...

But then again, this situation was actually not beyond Lin Wuming's expectations.

After all, for Lin Wuming, the most worthless thing in the entire "superpower catalog" is "telekinesis", because he himself is the best telekinetic user.

The original intention of using the "collar electrode" was to bring out the effects of other abilities, so Lin Wuming even specifically avoided the relevant information about the mind ability to prevent it from squeezing out resources.

Therefore, at this critical moment, it would not be surprising to use the "collar electrodes" to shake out any ability, but the only thing that is impossible is the ability of mind...

——Tsk, it seems I am still too conceited!
Lin Wuming reflected silently in his heart - but fortunately, at least "bullet time" can still function normally.

Facing the electromagnetic cannon coming towards him, the reason why Lin Wuming was still able to let his mind wander was simply because he had plenty of time.

Electromagnetic force is also a kind of force. As long as there is enough time, Lin Wuming can operate it as his most familiar telepathic ability.

It is not difficult.

Boom!

As the electromagnetic cannon's projectile was shot towards Lin Wuming, its flight trajectory had deviated significantly, and a slight error could lead to a huge loss. In the end, it brushed past Lin Wuming and tore a terrible scar on the wall of the corridor.

Zi la la!
The crisis was resolved, and Lin Wuming launched a counterattack in the last moment before escaping from the "bullet time".

The electric spear snaked towards FIVE_Over on the opposite side.

But the actual attack effect is almost negligible.

"Tsk!" Lin Wuming was a little unhappy. Other people's abilities are just not useful!

However, Lin Wuming had no idea of ​​switching to other abilities. Perhaps the attack effect on FIVE_Over was not satisfactory, but in the current situation, the "Electric Shocker" ability played an irreplaceable role!

——After all, “capacity reduction” refers to equipment that uses electricity.
