A Scientific Urban Detective

#530 - Ocean of Consciousness

In a metropolis with a population of two million, people fainting for various reasons every day shouldn't be a problem; but if a large number of people suddenly fall unconscious at the same time, that's another matter.

Because it happened so suddenly, and to prevent even greater chaos and panic caused by the spread of information, both the security forces and Judgment immediately implemented information control.

Even members of these two major organizations themselves may not know about these things.

It was when Shirai Kuroko was “browsing” the internet that she accidentally noticed this information and passed it on to Saten Ruiko as a warning.

As for Lin Wuming, he was qualified to know this classified intelligence, but conversely, because his current status was too transcendent, neither Judgment nor the security forces took such matters to "bother" him.

“Saten Ruiko, how are you feeling now?” Putting away his phone, Lin Wuming looked at the girl in front of him again.

“I feel terrible,” Saten Ruiko said listlessly, “but it's probably all psychological? In fact, my body doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable anywhere.”

As she spoke, she stood up and jumped, mockingly saying, “If it weren't for the fainting, I should be very happy right now.”

Saten Ruiko stretched out her hands, and she could see faint air currents stirring in her palms, quickly creating a miniature whirlwind.

“Rising air current…” Lin Wuming said subconsciously.

“Eh? It's just a normal air current,” Saten Ruiko said with a smile, “It's my first time personally using a superpower, because I'm a Level 0, I couldn't even produce the slightest movement before.”

Just like Saten Ruiko said, if she didn't know the side effects of the "Level Upper," she would probably be very happy.

“Why? I finally got a power, but now I'm going to faint, and I don't even know if I'll wake up,” Saten Ruiko said, almost crying in frustration, “It's just teasing me.”

“It really works.” Lin Wuming on the side said with emotion.

“Wuming-senpai?”

Lin Wuming quickly came back to his senses: “I mean, if there were no side effects, that 'Level Upper' is indeed a good technology.”

“I know that,” Saten Ruiko said, but making such an assumption was completely meaningless now.

“So, Wuming-senpai, can I be saved? Can the students who have already lost consciousness and fainted wake up?” Saten Ruiko looked at Lin Wuming with a hopeful expression.

“Don't worry, this is Academy City, even if you lose consciousness, there will definitely be a way to wake you up,” Lin Wuming said confidently, “So don't worry, things will get better.”

After comforting Saten Ruiko, Lin Wuming simply helped the girl get a hospital bed so she could wait for the fainting to happen with peace of mind.

Then, after copying a copy of the "Level Upper" from Saten Ruiko's hand, Lin Wuming returned home and immediately called Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto.

As for Kohachi Mitsuya, she spends more than half of her time in this house every day, so there was no need to notify her specifically.

There was nothing else to do, just to tell these girls that he was going to use the "Level Upper," so don't be too nervous if he suddenly fainted too.

By the way, he also asked Kohachi Mitsuya to "protect" him.

While waiting for Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto to arrive, Lin Wuming took the time to understand the current situation.

Only then did he realize that the incident caused by the "Level Upper" was far more serious than he had expected.

According to the latest statistics, more than five thousand students with "unexplained fainting" were directly related to the "Level Upper." And this is just the cases that have been discovered.

Moreover, this number is still rising.

You should know that in the original work, Kiyama Harumi only kidnapped ten thousand brains.

But now, the number of people who have fainted is rapidly approaching the ten thousand mark!

There is reason to believe that Kiyama Harumi has launched the final "all-out attack"!

So Lin Wuming didn't wait any longer, said hello to Kohachi Mitsuya who was guarding him, and directly used the "Level Upper."

As a slightly noisy sound entered his mind, Lin Wuming inexplicably had a feeling—as if his "consciousness" had detached and had the ability to act independently.

In unscientific terms, it was like "astral projection."

Immediately afterwards, his "consciousness" touched a larger "consciousness group" and, guided by this voice, flowed into this "ocean of consciousness" like a river flowing into the sea.

In an instant, countless abilities unfolded before Lin Wuming's "eyes."

After a moment of愣, Lin Wuming realized that what constituted this ocean were countless "formulas" and AIM diffusion field ripples.

And "formulas" and AIM diffusion fields are the two foundations that constitute superpowers.

“How many people are there here…” Lin Wuming murmured, looking around at the endless ocean around him.

Although it was his first time coming to this place, Lin Wuming instinctively knew that the ocean of consciousness was definitely composed of more than just the mere ten thousand people mentioned in the original work!

The latest novel is first published in 6⊥9⊥Book⊥Bar⊥⊥!

“…Wuming-senpai? Wuming-senpai! Wake up!”

The calls in his ear gradually became clear, awakening Lin Wuming from the magnificent spectacle before his "eyes."

Lin Wuming didn't faint, he just saw a brand new scene at the "consciousness" level, so he was a little distracted.

Coming back to his senses, he saw Shokuhou Misaki waving her hand in front of his eyes, trying to get his attention.

At the same time, Misaka Mikoto in the distance was ready to use an electric shock—if she couldn't wake up Lin Wuming, she would probably have to use a more brutal method.

“Don't worry, I'm fine,” Lin Wuming said quickly when he saw this.

“Wuming-senpai, you're too impatient!” Shokuhou Misaki complained, “Couldn't you wait even ten minutes! You actually used this before we arrived…”

“Yeah, yeah,” Misaka Mikoto nodded repeatedly, “Knowing there was danger, why were you so reckless!”

Lin Wuming said, “Don't worry, from the current point of view, the risks are controllable.”

Shokuhou Misaki didn't say a word and directly pressed the remote control at Lin Wuming.

Just now, seeing Lin Wuming's soul traveling beyond the heavens, not knowing what his consciousness had seen, Shokuhou Misaki didn't dare to peek easily, to prevent the last situation from happening again.

But now there were not so many concerns…

“Wow…” After only taking a quick glance, Shokuhou Misaki decisively withdrew from Lin Wuming's consciousness, “Wuming-senpai, what the hell kind of place did you go to?”

“What kind of monster did Saten and the others create!”
