Chapter 121 Psychological Hints for Level 5

"~Got you!"

The moment the girl's voice rang out in his mind, Kakine Teito immediately severed the connection with his clone. His reaction was quite fast, but he was still a step too slow.

The reason why Shokuhou Misaki dared to speak and alert the enemy was because she had already done what she needed to do.

Kakine Teigu cut off the connection with his clone, activated his superpowers to provide himself with heavy protection, then connected with the clone again and immediately attacked Shokuhou Misaki!
Previously, due to his confidence and curiosity, Emperor Kakine did not kill his opponent immediately to end the battle, but instead chatted with his opponent with great interest.

After all, this was the first time he had seen another level 5, and her superpowers were strangely psychological and psychic; Kakine Teito couldn't help but feel curious.

However, no one expected that although this girl was young, she was worthy of the level 5 and actually seized the opportunity to take the lead in attacking!

Kakine Teito's understanding of "psychological control" is very limited, so he doesn't know what the other party did when Shokuhou Misaki invaded her mind just now.

However, he wasn't completely unprepared. Level 5s were the most highly developed humans, possessing immense control over their brains and consciousness.

Therefore, after using "Wei Yuan Matter" to completely isolate himself from the outside world, Kakine Teito immediately began to "self-examine" - comprehensively examining himself and eliminating all abnormal parts of his mind.

At the same time, the clone that stayed outside began to act independently. Kakine Teito referred to the robot's action mode and gave it the function of automatically executing orders.

—Attack and defeat Shokuhou Misaki.

This was the last order given by Emperor Kakine.

On the clone's pure white face, the eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of black pupils.

With its vision locked, it raised its right arm and slashed at the target using its palm as a knife.

Boom!

There was a violent tremor in the corridor, and the lights flickered on and off.

When the dust cleared, the entire wall collapsed into a pile of rubble as if hit by a battering ram.

Unless one is a person with super powers who is good at defense, no one can survive such a blow.

However, Shokuhou Misaki's body was not found under the rubble; there was not even a trace of blood.

Even with the intelligence of an automated robot, the clone knew its mission wasn't complete. So it turned its head and looked around, searching for the location of its target, Shokuhou Misaki.

But it couldn't find it, it couldn't find Shokuhou Misaki.

It was as if the attack just now had reduced her to ashes, leaving no trace at all.

After patrolling the surroundings, the clone returned to its original location and waited on standby - it was only intelligent at the level of an automatic robot, so one couldn't expect too much from it.

Two minutes later, Kakine Teiguchi completed his "self-inspection", removed the barrier around him, and immediately connected with his clone to launch another attack.

Perhaps because of his timely reaction, fortunately, Kakine Teito did not notice any mental problems.

"Huh? Disappeared?" Of course the attack failed. After receiving feedback from the clone, Emperor Kakine personally came to the scene to check.

As it turned out, there was indeed no sign of Shokuhou Misaki.

"Did he escape?" Kakine Teigu came to the edge of the ruins and squatted down to check carefully.

pat!

A small piece of broken brick fell at Kakine Teito's feet.

Without even turning his head, Kakine Teito unleashed his pure white wings and swept them in the direction of the flying bricks.

Another wall collapsed, but there was still no blood, and no sign of the girl.

Due to three consecutive powerful attacks, alarms were blaring in the corridor, and the lighting system switched to emergency light mode, showing an unsettling dark red.

Kakine Teito remained unmoved. In the flickering dim light, his gaze scanned every corner around him centimeter by centimeter.

His intuition told him that Shokuhou Misaki was nearby - she didn't run far, but was hiding in the dark and observing him.

But the reality he saw with his own eyes told Kakine Teito that there was indeed no one around him.

"Hiding?" Kakine Teigu frowned, and the pair of wings behind him were fully revealed. They glowed in the dim environment, illuminating the surroundings in every detail.

But there was still no sign of Shokuhou Misaki.

"No, I should say that I can't see you." Kakine Teito suddenly reacted and said affirmatively.

"You're so perceptive~ You're worthy of being a senior among level 5." Shokuhou Misaki responded, patting her chest with lingering fear.

That wing slash just now almost hit me!
Level 5 is truly terrifying! "Unreal Matter" is truly terrifying! Kakine Teidou is truly terrifying!

You are not mistaken. This boy really wanted to kill me and showed no mercy.

"If they weren't so vigilant, they would have been cut in half, right?" Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but complain loudly, "The ANBU are really a bunch of lunatics, killing so recklessly... Well, it seems that what Wuming Senior did when he faced the illegal experimental institution was similar."

In order to relieve the fear and pressure in her heart, Shokuhou Misaki kept talking.

The sound echoed endlessly in the corridor and spread far away...

However, Kakine Teiguchi, who was standing not far away, turned a deaf ear to him and ignored the girl walking in front of him. He was still looking around, searching for the girl.

——Kakine Teiguro could neither see Shokuhou Misaki nor hear her voice.

In short, Shokuhou Misaki set up a strong psychological suggestion for him, making him subjectively "ignore" herself.

Therefore, this absurd and weird scene was created.

Just now, Shokuhou Misaki invaded Kakine Teito's mind through the cables of her clone. Before the other party took countermeasures, she only did one thing, which was to make him actively "ignore" her.

This was the first time Shokuhou Misaki interfered with the brain of a Level 5 being.

Because she had no experience, Shokuhou Misaki was not very confident and didn't dare to make any big movements for fear of alarming the other party.

Moreover, compared to "defeating the enemy", Shokuhou Misaki is more concerned about "self-protection" and not being killed by the enemy at this time.

So her first reaction was not to attack and kill the opponent, but to defend and protect herself.

So there is this psychological suggestion.

Fortunately, Shokuhou Misaki's ability was highly effective. Kakine Teito fell for it, and even after rigorous self-examination, he couldn't rule out the psychological implications.

After all, this psychological suggestion did not cause him any direct harm.

But unfortunately, this will also be the only chance for Shokuhou Misaki to exert "psychological control" on Kakine Teigu - after being prepared, with Kakine Teigu's strength, he will not be affected again.

"As expected of a Level 5," Kakine Teito quickly grasped the situation and turned to look at her. "Shokuhou Misaki, your abilities are truly fascinating. But unfortunately, you lost your best chance to kill me—the moment you chose to defend yourself instead of attack—and you won't have another chance like this again."

What shocked Shokuhou Misaki was that Kakine Teigu's gaze was focused on her!
