A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 810 Two Paths of Evolution

"Shokuhou-kun?" Kihara Gensei suddenly called out, looking at Lin Wuming hovering in the air not far away, "...Has he already left?"

He was neither surprised nor delighted; in fact, he was somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Lin Wuming still maintaining his psychic storm state, Kihara Gensei knew that his plan had taken an unexpected turn, and this unexpected turn was undoubtedly caused by Shokuhou Misaki, who had already left.

According to Kihara Gensei's prediction, Lin Wuming should have already crossed that boundary and officially touched the "level 6" domain by this time.

According to his calculations, destruction should have already come—either the city or Lin Wuming himself; one of them would become a victim of this experiment.

That's the downside of hastily launched experiments; the process can't be fully controlled, and at the most crucial moment, you can only leave it to fate...

Thinking of this, Kihara Gensei felt a deep sense of regret.

Because what he originally tailored for Lin Wuming was a different plan, focusing on "Nen ability". As for the so-called "bullet time", no matter how magical its effect was, it was still just an auxiliary tool. This was actually the path that Lin Wuming took to advance from level 3 to level 5.

This path can fully utilize the characteristics of "Nen" and ultimately transform Lin Wuming into an "omniscient and omnipotent" being—this is the safest and most feasible plan.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. The incident happened suddenly, and Kihara Gensei had to adjust his plans on the spot and adopt a more radical alternative.

With "bullet time" as its core capability, it delves into the limits of superpowers within the "time" system.

The advantage of this approach is that it's quick and relatively simple to prepare; however, the problem is that it's too fast!

Lin Wuming broke through the barrier and became a Level 6 in that instant; unless one can truly "stop time," all that can be done in the face of this "instant" is to accept the outcome, whether it is Kihara Gensei or Lin Wuming himself.

What's worse, as a researcher, Kihara Gensei had no idea what had happened to Lin Wuming during this time.

Aside from futilely "witnessing" as they are now, there is nothing else they can do, let alone take action to interfere with the progress of the experiment.

That's why Kihara Gensei sighed like that.

The calculated time has passed, but Lin Wuming has not begun to evolve as expected...

Kihara Gensei knew that Shokuhou Misaki and Hayashi Mumei had taken certain actions.

But what they actually did, and what happened to Lin Wuming, was beyond Kihara Gensei's control.

—But it doesn't matter, it's the trend of the times, your struggles can only delay things by a second or two at most.

Even so, Kihara Gensei remained calm.

His plan was already working; until the trend of events was reversed, Misaki Shokuhou and Lin Wumei's actions could only buy them a little time.

Sure enough, after another long second, the situation around Lin Wuming became even more perilous.

The already chaotic Nen ability expanded exponentially, clearing out an even larger spherical space around Lin Wuming—everything within the spherical space was either bounced away or shattered before being bounced away...

The tiger wasps that had been persevering in the strong winds to collect nectar until just now finally gave way and were blown away.

Tiger Bee Toumi tried to stabilize itself by digging its ribbon into the ground, but the repulsive force was too strong, and the ribbon snapped in less than a millisecond. Tiger Bee Toumi's body flew away from Lin Wuming once more…

puff!
It felt like being thrown into a soft sand pit. The tiger wasp turned its head slightly and saw that it was surrounded by a dark mass of "sand".

—It is Misaka Mikoto's iron sand.

"What happened?" Misaka Mikoto caught the tiger bee Toumi flying backwards, looked at Lin Wuming hovering in mid-air not far away, and was full of astonishment. "I was only gone for a short while, how could this be..."

"There's no time to explain," said the Bee Honeybee, clearly unwilling to give up. "Do something quick and stop Nameless!"

—I'm just a level 4 who only knows how to kill, and there's nothing I can do in this situation.

Tiger Bee Toumi has never felt so desperate about her powerlessness. Because of the enemy's bizarre superpowers, Tiger Bee Toumi can't even do the simplest, most basic task: "killing the enemy!"

It must be admitted that only Misaka Mikoto, who is also a Level 5, can currently exert influence on Lin Wuming.

Tiger Bee Honey didn't know what had happened to Lin Wuming, but she knew that this situation couldn't continue!
Similarly, the tacit understanding developed over a long period of time allowed Misaka Mikoto to immediately seize the situation, and the vast expanse of iron sand formed a sand curtain, sweeping towards Lin Wuming in an overwhelming manner...

The dark, oppressive sand curtain collided with the invisible turbulent flow of psychic energy. Both were Level 5 powers, and for a moment they were actually evenly matched.

The long-raging psychic storm has finally been contained.

Seeing this, the tiger bee Toumi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she tensed up again—because Misaka Mikoto's expression didn't look relieved at all...

This strongest electric user made a dazzling entrance, radiating electricity, but as the Iron Sand Curtain surrounded Lin Wuming, the electricity on Misaka Mikoto's body became even more brilliant.

Tiger wasps even have to squint their eyes to avoid being burned by the electric light when trying to get nectar.

—It seems that the battle against the nameless one is not easy!

The tiger wasp turned its head to look at the "iron sand storm" in the distance.

"Oh no..." Misaka Mikoto murmured. As the party directly involved in the confrontation, she knew better than anyone how bad the situation was.

So, what exactly happened? Why did the nameless senior's abilities suddenly go berserk?
Looking down, Misaka Mikoto saw the anxious-looking tiger bee Tomimitsu on the ground, and her heart sank even further.

She knew very well that the nameless senior was in a very bad situation, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such an expression!
Aside from the nameless senior and Dr. Sakurai, there is probably no third person in the world who can make Tomiko the Tiger Bee care so much.

Unfortunately, the situation was urgent and there was no time to explain in detail, so Misaka Mikoto could only act according to her own understanding and instincts.

—Stopping the nameless senior's abilities from going berserk is always the right thing to do.

Misaka Mikoto continues to increase power.

At this moment, she was somewhat relieved—she had warmed up in advance and entered a "full-force" state when fighting the robot girl, so she was able to seamlessly switch gears and immediately unleash her strongest power. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to suppress the nameless senior in front of her!
