Chapter 39 - Chapter 39 - Yomikawa Aiho's Pursuit

In the last moment before losing consciousness, the "Hunter" leader saw the figure of a Judgment officer. He immediately let out a long sigh of relief—he was finally saved!

​Now that the Judgment force was here, even a criminal would receive immediate medical treatment. In this regard, the Judgment force always had a good reputation.

​The "Hunter" leader peacefully allowed himself to fall into unconsciousness...

​Smack!

​He was then forcibly woken up by a slap.

​"What are you sleeping for! You're nowhere near dead yet!"

​Opening his eyes, he saw a female Judgment officer staring at him, grabbing his collar.

​"Was this boy the one who beat you down!" Yomikawa Aiho showed him a photo on her phone. "Tell me quickly, how is he, and where is he now?"

​"He..." The "Hunter" leader was frightened by the woman's imposing presence. He said with a bitter face, "He left long ago. I don't know... No, they might have gone to 'Black Moon Technology.' That's the employer for this operation. I just told them everything..."

​At this point, he had no psychological burden whatsoever and confessed everything very readily.

​"Black Moon Technology? Since he still has the mind to go for revenge, he must be mostly fine," Yomikawa Aiho pondered. "What do you mean by 'they'?"

​"There's another female demon... a girl," the leader confessed honestly. "She was the one who almost stabbed me to death. Please, hurry up and take me to the hospital!"

​Yomikawa Aiho casually dropped him back onto the ground, then took out her phone to search for information on "Black Moon Technology."

​She immediately noticed the laboratory that had moved out of the building where Lin Wuming initially fell.

​Rushing to a patrol car, her partner, Tesso Tsuzuri, was surprised: "Yomikawa-sensei, did you forget something..."

​"Drive, go to this place, fast!" Yomikawa Aiho buckled her seatbelt, urging him on.

​"Eh?" Although puzzled, Tesso Tsuzuri started the vehicle. "Why are we going to this place? Did another case happen?"

​"If we don't hurry, there will be a case," Yomikawa Aiho said with a serious expression. "Those kids just won't give us a break..."

​But then she reconsidered, Lin Wuming was usually very reliable, so it must be the fault of those bad guys who tried to hurt him!

For both professional and personal reasons, as well as for the sake of her own secure life, Yomikawa Aiho did not want Lin Wuming to do anything foolish in a moment of impulse.

​The previous events could all be considered reasonable and legal "self-defense," and apart from the unlucky person shot in the head by his own side, there were no other fatalities at the scene.

​As long as no one died, the situation was still controllable.

​However, if Lin Wuming proceeded to attack the enemy's lair, it could no longer be classified as "justifiable self-defense" under any circumstance.

​Add to that the presence of Torami Toumi, a girl with an unstable mental state... Yomikawa Aiho dared not imagine how the situation might escalate!

​"I must stop them before that happens!" Yomikawa Aiho desperately urged her partner to speed up, wishing she could swap places and drive herself.

​Meanwhile, elsewhere, Torami Toumi stood on the support frame behind the wheelchair, riding it at a breakneck speed along the road, easily keeping pace with the cars beside them.

​"Yomikawa-sensei will likely find the traces we left very soon, so we must be quick," Lin Wuming said. "If she catches us, we won't be able to take revenge ourselves."

​Torami Toumi nodded in deep agreement: "Can your mental energy hold up... constantly using your superpower at such high intensity?"

​"Don't worry, because I was injured and unable to move, my psychic ability has been on constantly for twenty-four hours. I'm used to it," Lin Wuming said.

​Then, Lin Wuming asked her: "Why are you helping me? The next action is very likely a crime that violates the law, and you will be held accountable as well."

​Torami Toumi replied: "I injured you before, so I will help you. Furthermore, they are also the culprits who injured Sakurai-sensei, and I need revenge too!"

​Lin Wuming nodded, no longer trying to dissuade her.

​His enemy was a considerably large corporate entity. Relying on himself alone to carry out revenge might be insufficient, but with the addition of a powerful helper like Torami Toumi, it was different. Lin Wuming had great confidence in the girl's strength.

​Against the clock, the pair drove the wheelchair at high speed toward the headquarters of "Black Moon Technology Development Co., Ltd."

​At the same time, Yomikawa Aiho misjudged the situation and was rushing to the new address of the laboratory that moved last month.

​At the headquarters of "Black Moon Technology Development Co., Ltd.," the members primarily responsible for the "Dark May" project gathered again in the conference room to discuss matters related to Lin Wuming.

​During this time, they had collected as much information as possible about Lin Wuming's ability and conducted the most detailed research and assessment...

​Despite their efforts, due to the lack of actual sample data, they could only rely on secondhand information for their assessment. Even for a research institute specialized in superpower development, the results they could obtain were extremely limited.

​"...In short, based on questioning witnesses at the hospital, it can be confirmed that Lin Wuming's application of his psychic ability is highly refined. As long as he is conscious, he can maintain it in an almost continuous state."

​The middle-aged man giving the summary report said: "Considering his broken hands and feet, which effectively rendered him unable to move independently, this actually forced him to utilize his superpower."

​"But for someone who has only mastered a superpower for less than two weeks, such proficiency is highly suspicious," someone immediately interjected. "We have re-investigated the records of Lin Wuming, or Experiment Subject 007, and can confirm that before he left the institute, he was indeed a Level 0 Incompetent. His AIM diffusion field was almost zero, and we couldn't even determine his basic ability type, preventing any simulated training."

​In light of this, the fact that Lin Wuming quickly got the hang of his psychic ability and used it with such natural finesse was highly unusual.

​"According to the experiment records," another researcher followed up, "as the Incompetent with the lowest aptitude score, Subject 007 was the earliest to undergo the experiment—thus, the 'original' personality information, unprocessed, was injected into his brain."

​"Because there was no clear direction or differentiation, that experiment yielded no results at the time. The subject only showed mild symptoms of schizophrenia, but quickly recovered to normal. His Personal Reality also showed no changes, and it was later assessed as a failed experiment."

​The middle-aged man nodded: "It now seems that the experiment may not have failed. The reason Lin Wuming showed such high proficiency immediately after awakening his superpower is likely due to the influence of Accelerator's thought process."
