Don't overthink it. It's definitely not due to an excess of hormones during puberty; it's simply a desire to change one's mind.

But it was just a thought. After seeing the subtle distortion of light on the other person's outstretched palm, Misaki Shokuhou quickly suppressed the stirring in her heart.

Putting everything else aside, once this infinitely simplified version of the "singularity" is unleashed, it will be something that the current few powerful users controlling it cannot withstand. After all, she herself had "personally" used this ability once before and had a very clear understanding of its power.

“I understand. I will do as you ask to control the researchers at the Ability Research Institute and find the experimental data you need. However, I may not be able to accomplish your other goal.”

Raising an eyebrow, before Lin Yi could ask any questions, Misaki Shokuhou quickly explained as if afraid he might misunderstand: "I've heard of that organization called the 'Transmigrator Alliance' many times. Not only have they approached me, but I've also approached many of those 'transmigrators' and used my abilities to influence them... Everything was normal when I was controlling them, but once I chose to read their memories and minds, incomprehensible phenomena would occur."

By intercepting a small portion of the superpowered individual's "thought" reaction when she left, Lin Yi was certain that she had not deceived him, and he was not too disappointed at the moment: if the "Transmigrator Alliance" spanning many story worlds could not even do this level of information blockade, it would probably have been wiped out long ago, let alone survived until now.

"Just do your best to find the whereabouts of the other superpowered individuals."

Feeling the gradually weakening "pedestrian dispelling" barrier effect around me, it's already quite good that it lasted this long without the support of a "magic" system. Maybe I should try a different method next time.

Si Lingmeng covered the zero-flowing stream and left with a final order: "Those rats are yours to handle."

Before Misaki Shokuhou could react, she was propelled into the sky and disappeared under the force of the repulsive field. Not far behind where Lin Yi disappeared, the espers finally saw those sneaky figures that had suddenly appeared.

Gritting her teeth, and overwhelmed by the humiliation of being forced to follow orders after a defeat in battle, the Queen of Tokiwadai took out a "remote control" and pressed a button in the direction of one of the people.

----------------segmentation----------------

Industry specializing in surgery.

Admittedly, if the main body were here, even if it knew nothing about a system, it could still "master" it with a large amount of information and energy. The problem is that Lin Yi only has one information body now, and it is a simplified version of the information body, carrying only the seeds of two rule systems.

Compared to wasting a lot of time and energy without necessarily succeeding, it is obviously more efficient to directly hand over this kind of intelligence gathering to "experts" like "psychological mastery". Just like Lin Yi, who had just arrived in this world, did not start developing his abilities without knowing anything about this world, but instead obtained a complete database from the Ability Research Institute before taking action.

Compared to "non-professionals", "professionals" are always more efficient.

The power of the "whole" is far greater than that of the "individual".

At least within the framework defined by humans.

As for what lies outside the framework... opinions vary.

P.S.: Cultivating immortality late at night, boundless joy!

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 571 Singularity Reversal (11)

For any transmigrator, going against the positive characters in this world is not an obvious choice.

Firstly, doing so might offend other characters in the story, causing one's position in this story world to deteriorate; secondly, it would interfere with the "rules of the game" that every transmigrator is subject to.

Just as that "veteran" from the previous world said, when a transmigrator becomes hostile to the main characters in the current storyline world—even if it's not a fierce battle, but merely maintaining an antagonistic stance—it will weaken the transmigrator's own abilities.

Even more seriously, once the transmigrator engages in battle with a positive character in the current storyline and injures them, this weakening will accelerate exponentially.

Alternatively, one could simply kill a large number of positive characters in the story world, just like Lin Yi did at the end of the previous story world. In that case, the result would be that all of one's abilities would be completely wiped out.

For similar reasons, even after the official start of the story in this world, the "Transmigrators' Alliance" of Academy City, despite their unbridled interference and disruption of the plot, actually didn't provoke many of the more important characters. Most of their interactions were with less important "supporting characters," and these exchanges were mostly verbal rather than physical. Very few were foolish enough to actually challenge them, and those few are probably already down and out due to their significantly weakened abilities…

In comparison, those who actually had more contact with these important plot characters were actually plot characters from other plot worlds who were hired by the transmigrators, such as the Hulk bloodline mutants and the Armed Detective Organization who were previously commissioned by the transmigrators to compete for the "Index to Forbidden Books".

Because they come from another story world and are not transmigrators, they will not be punished by the rules even if they attack the characters in this world's story. In a way, this reduces the extent to which transmigrators can damage the story.

It's important to understand that while the number of transmigrators in Academy City may seem small, their power, if truly unleashed, is something no organization or group within the city can contend with. Otherwise, the "Transmigrators' Alliance" wouldn't have been able to treat certain areas of the city as "concessions" and act with impunity.

This situation is also closely related to Lin Yi's current predicament.

On the one hand, as a member of the "Transmigrator Alliance," Lin Yi still carries the identity of a "transmigrator." Although it is unknown whether the "administrator" still recognizes him as such, as long as the other party has not explicitly excluded Lin Yi, the local forces of Academy City will have to take his identity into consideration when taking action.

On the other hand, Lin Yi also has the identity of a "plot character".

Yes, after receiving the "Absolute Ability User Project" proposed by the forces within Academy City, Lin Yi transformed from a "third party" like most transmigrators into a character who was actually involved in the "plot". After all, according to the "tree diagram designer's" plan, Lin Yi needed to make contact with more than 50% of the high-level ability users and 100% of the super-powered users in the entire Academy City. Someone who makes contact with so many important characters in the plot, no matter how marginalized, will inevitably play a relatively important role in the "plot".

Not to mention that during this process, you will constantly come into contact with and clash with other characters in the story...

Having acquired this "plot character" status, even though the transmigrators coveted Lin Yi's two S-level abilities, they had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​directly competing for them, unless they wanted to be whittled down in the process and then easily dealt with by other contenders.

In this light, Lin Yi's current position is actually the best protective layer. The interference from the "transmigrators" blocks the covetousness of the "plot characters," while the interference from the "plot characters" prevents the actions of the "transmigrators," forcing them to take steps that influence other plot characters and indirectly interfere with Lin Yi's plans.

The question is, is the reality really that good?

With his raised palm open, the thick ice wall in front of him was directly pushed down by the powerful repulsive field. Even though the ability user hiding behind him tried his best to dodge, he could not avoid all the falling ice blocks. In the end, he was buried under the ice blocks he had created with a miserable scream.

Lin Yi lowered his hand and silently felt the feedback that the strength of his power within his body had weakened slightly.

The time was the day after dealing with the first "psychic: Mental Mastery," and the location was still District 7.

Following the "tree diagram designer's" plan, after dealing with the first superpowered individual, Lin Yi began to sweep through all the level 4 and above ability users in this school district, following its instructions. While obtaining more and more combat data, he had to accept a reality: his abilities were getting weaker and weaker.

This is an inevitable phenomenon.

Even Level 1 Ability Users are considered part of the "plot characters" in this Academy City, let alone Level 4 Power Users or even Level 5 Superpower Users. Even if these plot characters do not appear frequently in the story, they do play a role in the background of the story.

Once categorized as a "positive character," Lin Yi, as a "transmigrator," will inevitably encounter the same situation as other transmigrators when fighting against them: weakened abilities.

Although the degree of weakening of their abilities was much less than when they were reduced by one-fifth in just a few minutes during their previous battles with the male protagonist and the fire mage, the sheer number of these ability users was overwhelming.

Even though Lin Yi had intentionally chosen a fighting style that would cause the least damage to these ability users (just like when dealing with "Mental Control"—if it weren't for the possibility of his ability being greatly weakened, Lin Yi could have completely ignored the opponent's narrow attack range and crushed him to death under the ruins with a "Shinra Tensei" from the sky), the weakening of his ability was still unavoidable.

After completing the battle data collection on one superpowered individual and eleven powerful individuals in the Seventh School District, Lin Yi's perception confirmed that his ability strength rating had indeed decreased from LV5 to LV4.

"...We've had plenty of battles where we grew stronger, but this is the first time we've grown weaker."

Looking up, Lin Yi saw the superpowered individual who had once again blocked his way after moving the unconscious ice-elemental user to safety.

She did nothing, only looked in this direction with disgust.

But just by facing that gaze, Lin Yi felt his abilities, which had already dropped to LV4, begin to weaken again... Is it no wonder that he is the person that the transmigrators say has replaced the original "female protagonist" and become the "true female protagonist"?

The academy's second superpowered individual.

"Railgun".

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 572 Singularity Reversal (12)

If we were to name the person in Academy City who most loathes the "Level 5" project, it would undoubtedly be Misaka Mikoto, a direct participant in it, for a very simple reason.

The so-called "Absolute Ability User" project only had "two" true participants: "Accelerator," ranked first, and "Railgun," ranked third.

Just like what Lin Yi is doing now, the previous "Absolute Ability User" project also involved collecting a large amount of combat data from ability users to obtain ability evolution models. However, Accelerator, whose theoretical potential is only rated A among transmigrators, does not need to fight other ability users to obtain data. He only needs to keep eliminating one "individual".

That "individual" is "Railgun"—a clone of Misaka Mikoto, who is also a Level 5 esper.

In order to complete this "Absolute Ability User" project, the research institute directly extracted and cloned tens of thousands of weakened copies of "Railgun" from the genetic cells of "Railgun" for "Accelerator" to use in sabotage battles. In this way, they obtained the data model that would allow "Accelerator" to become an "Absolute Ability User".

It's easy to imagine how furious Misaka Mikoto, the originator of all these clones and merely a teenage girl, was about this situation. However, the power from Academy City rendered her powerless to stop it all from happening, at least until the transmigrator actually intervened in the plot...

So, what happens after the time traveler officially interferes with the plot?

Because Lin Yi was still in the underground research lab at that time, he was unable to witness the scene of the transmigrators fighting for the more than 20,000 copies of the "Railgun", but at least one thing he was certain of.

"It seems I haven't done anything to incur your hatred?"

Looking at the superpowered individual in front of him who made no attempt to hide his disgust for him, Lin Yi asked in a puzzled tone, "Instead of saying that my appearance should be more beneficial to you, shouldn't it?"

If the "plot" had continued as it was, the "Level 5" project, which originally targeted Accelerator, would have continued until the protagonist defeated him. However, Lin Yi's appearance completely changed the "plot"—at least the part about the "Level 5" project.

After the "tree diagram designer" obtained Lin Yi's ability data and directly listed him as the first development target, the "absolute ability user" project, which was originally aimed at "Accelerator", was directly stopped. This indirectly saved many clones that would have been killed or destroyed by him. In this regard, Lin Yi believed that his existence should be considered beneficial to her. Even if he did not have any expectation that she would be grateful or repay him, he should at least not have such a repulsive attitude.

Soon, Lin Yi knew where this superhuman's attitude came from.

“'Singularity Reversal'... Your behavior is no different from 'Accelerator', no, it's even worse than his.”

Under the sway of her will, electricity began to crackle around her body. Misaka Mikoto stared directly at Lin Yi with an unwavering gaze: "We both did this plan, we both gained power by sacrificing others... Is it really that important? To become an 'Absolute Ability User'!"

Lin Yi was speechless at the accusations made by the superpowered individual before him.

—Another level of "speechlessness".

Rubbing his temples, Lin Yi roughly understood: "Perhaps I've misunderstood, but what is your purpose in appearing here now?"

"Stop you!"

With a righteous and resolute tone, and without a trace of confusion in her eyes, the girl declared, "In the past, I used all sorts of excuses to escape reality, but now I will no longer run away. This time, I will use my own strength to completely end this ridiculous plan!"

In that instant, Lin Yi was certain: she was sick.

Moreover, her illness is quite serious. As for the source of the illness, it is not hard to guess. In the entire Academy City, only those transmigrators who know her better than she does could cause such a big change in her thinking, without the original protagonist having any contact with her.

"Let me ask you a question: what grade are you in this year?"

Although it was a bit strange, her basic courtesy as a student led her to answer: "Second year of middle school."

"Yes, I understand."

—Since it's just chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), then nothing is strange about it.

Raise your hand forward, thumb and middle finger overlapping—

"Snapped."

The next moment, as if realizing something, Misaka Mikoto suddenly leaned her body back, and in the rapidly flashing light, an extremely small "black dot" appeared and disappeared in front of her head in an instant.

"...Was there a conflict?"

With a slight frown, Lin Yi abandoned his plan to continue using "micro singularities" as a means of attack.

As an S-class ability user, "gravity" and "repulsion" not only have output volumes far exceeding those of other abilities, but another key element is their ability to "distance".

Although he was downgraded from LV5 to LV4, Lin Yi was still able to create a force field within a 500m radius centered on himself.

In terms of sheer killing efficiency, creating a miniature field directly in the enemy's head or heart would be far more efficient than unleashing a "Shinra Tensei." The problem is, this world does not operate according to simple physical rules.

Although they may seem like simple "force fields" and "electric currents," they are actually projections of the individual realities of the two into the objective world. If they don't come into contact, it's fine, but once they do, they will clash on another non-scientific level. Trying to bypass the individual's personal reality and directly interfere with the matter in her body will cause a conflict, resulting in the ability being delayed, weakened, or even completely ineffective.

If Lin Yi were still at LV5, he would have been somewhat confident in completing the construction of the miniature field before the opponent could detect it. However, after being reduced to LV4, he would be somewhat inadequate to deal with a LV5 superpowered individual.

However, this is also good. While ending the battle directly with a miniaturized field is effective, the result is that the "true heroine" in front of us dies and Lin Yi's abilities are greatly weakened.

Since we can't end the battle this way, let's try a more "gentle" approach...

After assessing the minimum required power level to deal with other superpowered individuals, Lin Yi made a decision.

—At least, we need to leave room for LV3 level to handle "vector operations".

PS1: Cultivating immortality late at night... I feel like I'm about to fall into the demonic path.

PS2: Good children should go to bed early.

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 573 Singularity Reversal (13)

According to the information gathered by the transmigrators, "Railgun's" ability is mainly manifested in the manipulation of strong currents. Correspondingly, abilities such as bioelectricity and weak currents may not be nonexistent, but at least judging from her performance in the "plot," she is in an awkward position where she has hardly used them. Perhaps this is because this ability is not her forte, but for Lin Yi, it is definitely good news.

This means he doesn't need to worry too much about electrostatic interference at the biological level.

As for manipulating strong electric currents, this character's ability is used in roughly the following way—

"Railgun!"

Utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, the game coin is launched at an initial velocity of three times the speed of sound. Because the user can use their own electromagnetic force to correct the flight trajectory and accelerate the game coin during launch, unlike ordinary bullets, the railgun continuously accelerates before hitting the target, thus possessing extremely high accuracy and destructive power.

If one were to suddenly face such a "massive" attack without knowing anything about this ability user, they might be at a loss. Unfortunately, while the transmigrators may not know much about the abilities of other ability users, their understanding of this "true female protagonist" is, in some ways, even deeper than that of the woman herself.

This includes the Railgun's firing rate of 8 rounds per minute and a bullet impact distribution of 18.9mm; the fact that she can only use game coins to activate this ability because using other types of coins would reduce the initial velocity; the fact that the Railgun can generate wind pressure that damages the surrounding area, so it cannot be avoided by precise dodging; and the fact that the effective killing range of this attack is only 50m.

Therefore, facing the scorching orange beam of light in front of him, Lin Yi quickly created a gravitational field behind him and a repulsive force surface in front of him in the instant before the attack arrived, thus retreating from the effective attack range of the orange beam of light before it could reach him.

It was clear that the superpowered individual was somewhat bewildered by Lin Yi's "predictive" actions, but he quickly realized that it was probably due to intelligence support from other superpowered individuals or ability research institutions.

This situation did not frustrate her; on the contrary, it made her even more certain of her judgment.

"Compared to your 'Accelerator,' as the new 'Level 5' successor, your performance is far inferior to his!"

Noticing the abnormal tremors of the surrounding "gravel," Lin Yi decisively detached himself from the ground, pulling himself up several meters to a height: "For example?"

The superpowered individual, who was about to use the "Iron Sand Sword" to control Lin Yi, froze – this was the second time this had happened; before the attack even began, the opponent seemed to know his intentions and immediately moved out of range.

If this "plot character" could join the Transmigrator Alliance, he would probably understand why things are like this.

Iron Sand Sword: By manipulating electromagnetic force, it can collect all the iron sand in the soil within a 200-meter radius and use magnetic force to move the iron sand according to its will.

The "iron sand sword" formed by electromagnetic force is like a black whip or a long knife. It can extend tens of meters in the air and produce a sound that is like amplifying the sound of bees' wings hundreds of times.

A massive quantity of iron pellets, manipulated by energy sources such as electromagnetic forces, vibrates like a high-speed electric chainsaw. This rapidly vibrating iron pellets, like an electric chainsaw, can cut through objects and can be used in close combat or defense. Furthermore, manipulating the iron pellets to fly in all directions, transforming them into a storm of rapidly vibrating, slender assassination needles, can attack the opponent from all 360 degrees.

However, like the "railgun", its attack range is also limited.

Similar information was obtained by almost every transmigrator. It might work to deal with the original character, but it would be wishful thinking to use it against a transmigrator who knew her inside and out.
