A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 936 Status Refresh

“Let me say it again, I am not a magician and I do not understand magic,” said the Soul Chaser of the Underworld. “I am just a doctor, so I can only make a diagnosis from a doctor’s professional perspective.”

“I trust you; you are the authority in this field,” Lin Wuming said. “So—I have fully recovered.”

"Yes," the doctor nodded. "The backlash from your forced spellcasting has completely disappeared, and you are now in excellent health."

According to the diagnosis of the doctor from the Underworld, the side effects subsided because all the residual magic power in Lin Wuming's body had disappeared.

The reason why Lin Wuming was previously trapped in a prolonged but low-intensity backlash state was mainly due to the presence of residual magic power in his body.

Lin Wuming can't really be considered a magician. The only spell he possesses is a bizarre technique used for "suicide," and it can't even be considered a complete spell.

After all, Lin Wuming didn't really want to commit suicide, so when he first designed the spell, he never thought he would actually cast it.

However, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Lin Wuming actually managed to cast the spell completely this time.

As a result, due to the incompleteness of the magic, the magical power that Lin Wuming had cultivated could not be transformed into magical effects, and some magical power remained in his body.

A little magic mixed into a level 5 superpower body... If Lin Wuming hadn't had such strong control over his body, and if the magic wasn't generated by him and not a complete "foreign object," his body would probably have collapsed from the inside long ago!

Even if Lin Wuming could control himself and forcibly suppress the magic power within his body, it was not a long-term solution. The existence of magic power was a ticking time bomb for superpowered individuals, and something bad would happen sooner or later.

Therefore, the doctor from the Underworld said that Lin Wuming was committing slow suicide—if Lin Wuming continued to use magic, causing the residual magic power in his body to accumulate more and more, it would really erupt after breaking through a certain threshold!
But now, the residual magic power in Lin Wuming's body has suddenly disappeared.

This is tantamount to removing the fuel supply from the fire, directly addressing the root cause of the problem, which is why the Underworld Soul-Chasing Doctor made the diagnosis that the patient has "fully recovered."

As for why he suddenly recovered, Lin Wuming himself knew very well—"Imagine Killer".

At noon, Touma Kamijou and Index came to visit him. It was then that Lin Wuming suddenly had a whimsical idea: he wanted to experience his "Imagine Breaker" firsthand.

Lin Wuming's purpose was simple: he wanted to test whether "Imagine Breaker" could suppress the side effects of his use of magic.

In fact, Lin Wuming didn't have high hopes; he just wanted to experiment on a whim.

The experimental results were as expected—the magic was indeed erased by "Imagine Breaker," but Lin Wuming's "bullet time" state was also erased along with it.

With all positive benefits and side effects being eliminated equally, it can be said that Lin Wuming's "experiment" was a failure and did not achieve his intended purpose.

However, there was an unexpected benefit: Lin Wuming vaguely noticed that his body suddenly felt lighter.

It was as if some kind of burden that had been pressing on the body had suddenly disappeared.

So, after seeing off Touma Kamijou and Index, Lin Wuming immediately went to find the doctor from the Underworld.

After a thorough and meticulous examination, the doctor's final diagnosis confirmed Lin Wuming's suspicions.

In the instant he came into contact with "Imagine Breaker," not only was the magic he was using and his "bullet time" state erased, but also the residual magic power within Lin Wuming's body. Indeed, his previous assessment of Touma Kamijou was accurate—possessing "Imagine Breaker" made him a quirky character.

"Imagine Breaker" eliminates all "abnormal forces" fairly and impartially—whether magic or superpowers; whether they are active or already existent, they are all erased!
This is equivalent to formatting and refreshing Lin Wuming's body.

Then, because Lin Wuming was a psychic, his psychic abilities were immediately and naturally regenerated after he lost contact with "Imagine Breaker".

Lin Wuming is not a magician, so unless he actively casts a spell, his body will not actively generate magic power like a real magician; in addition, with the assistance of Index's "Voice of Magic Breaking", the process of "generating magic power" was interrupted before he came into contact with "Imagine Breaker".

This caused the residual magic power within Lin Wuming to become like water without a source, decisively disappearing under the powerful cleansing of "Imagine Breaker." And it ceased to regenerate—until the next time he casts a spell.

"Alright, that's quite an amazing discovery, Nameless." Underworld Soul Chaser looked over with a smile.

“Yes,” Lin Wuming also smiled easily, “it’s a major discovery.”

Although no direct solution to the magical backlash was found, an indirect one was discovered.

As long as Touma Kamijou and his Imagine Breaker are still around, the side effects of magical backlash won't be a problem.

—If any residual magic appears again in the future, just go to Touma Kamijou to refresh your status.

So Lin Wuming decisively went through the procedures to be discharged from the hospital and go home—he was tired of staying in hospital wards.

There's a ton of stuff to do next, where do I have time to waste here?
Without even returning to his ward, Lin Wuming went out downstairs and left the hospital directly.

In this hospital, Lin Wuming possessed a certain "privilege"—he was a patient specifically under the care of the hospital director, Dr. Mingtu Zhuihun, so his hospitalization and discharge only required Dr. Mingtu Zhuihun's personal diagnosis.

All other procedures are omitted, otherwise it would be too cumbersome. The discharge procedures from the previous hospital might not even be completed before the patient is admitted again...

"Wheelchair..." After walking a distance from the hospital, Lin Wuming belatedly realized that something was wrong.

During last night's battle, his wheelchair was reduced to its original state of disrepair, and the new wheelchair hasn't been delivered yet, so...

"Never mind, I'm a level 5 telekinetic user anyway, so it won't be a problem if someone sees me walking on my feet." Lin Wuming didn't dwell on it too much.

Now, the "wheelchair" has become part of Lin Wuming's persona, and whether he is actually incapacitated is no longer important, nor does anyone care.

Just as Lin Wuming himself said, as a level 5 telekinetic user, it wouldn't be surprising if he could fly directly in the sky, let alone walk.

"...Nameless classmate, Lin Wuming!"

Just as Lin Wuming was deep in thought, a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Turning around, I saw a little girl running towards me. Judging from the direction she came from, she must have come from the hospital.
