Torami Toumi was like a machine that suddenly cut its engine, abruptly ceasing all movement.
In fact, deep down, Torami Toumi had already realized from the start that Lin Wuming was not the killer. That's why she subconsciously held back when she attacked, deliberately avoiding his vital organs.
However, the shock of Dr. Sakurai being killed was too great, preventing her from thinking calmly. For a moment, she was completely dominated by surging rage, needing to do something to vent her fury—Torami Toumi was already not mentally stable to begin with.
Upon closer inspection, it wouldn't be hard to see that Dr. Sakurai's wounds were penetrating injuries, more likely caused by a gun or a stabbing attack. Lin Wuming... being unarmed, it would be difficult for him to inflict such injuries.
Torami Toumi, suspended in mid-air by Lin Wuming's psychic power, stopped struggling.
"...Let me go!" she said, lowering her head.
Immediately, the restraining force on her body vanished, and she dropped from the air.
Torami Toumi had expected Lin Wuming to gently "carry" her over to Dr. Sakurai, but instead, she was instantly set free.
She adjusted her stance and landed lightly, but inwardly she shook her head.
—Trusting me not to attack again? His vigilance is too low! He wouldn't survive a second day on the battlefield like that...
She turned to look and saw Lin Wuming slumped in his wheelchair, his own body also profusely bleeding.
"Ah, damn it!"
Torami Toumi immediately panicked. Lin Wuming had acted so aggressively just moments ago that she had forgotten the fact that she had stabbed him seven times.
She leaped forward, shattered the emergency call button on the wall with a kick, and then quickly moved to check Dr. Sakurai's injuries.
She found that the wound on Dr. Sakurai's abdomen was being sealed by an invisible force, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
As for the wound located on her chest, because Lin Wuming hadn't managed to find its exact location immediately, he hadn't had time to apply emergency sealing, and it was still oozing blood.
Torami Toumi stared at Lin Wuming again, her expression growing increasingly guilty.
Once she was free from the control of her anger, she was actually a very reasonable person.
—This boy, Lin Wuming, is actually Dr. Sakurai's savior!
Thinking about what she had just done to the person who saved the doctor's life, Torami Toumi felt even more remorseful. After applying emergency bandaging to the doctor's wounds using the gauze she carried in her pocket, she rushed over to Lin Wuming, ready to give him first aid.
Just then, the nurses finally arrived.
Hearing the nurses' and doctors' surprised or panicked cries from outside the door, Lin Wuming finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He could finally stop using his psychic power to seal the wounds...
To be honest, Lin Wuming was genuinely surprised that Torami Toumi had given up the fight so quickly and calmed down so fast.
The proof was that the flow of time around him returned to normal; he had exited the "Bullet Time" state.
—The fatal crisis was over.
But equally, once the combat state was lifted, the suppressed pain and the feeling of "aftershock fear" surged over him like a tide, instantly drowning him.
During the fight, adrenaline and other chaotic hormones were secreted frantically, making him oblivious to pain or fear.
But now... never mind the wounds on his chest, his left leg and right hand were inadvertently moved and shattered their casts during the intense struggle, adding injury to injury.
Worse, now that he was thinking clearly, he belatedly realized how terrifying Torami Toumi was.
Her aura was fierce, her attacks were sharp, and her entire presence was as strong as a demon!
Looking closer, what was the weapon in her hand? It was clearly just an ordinary medical gauze bandage!
Being able to pierce through bed boards and other objects, and even Lin Wuming's Level 3 psychic barrier, with just a bandage... it was obvious this must be the effect of her superpower.
What kind of terrifying superpower was this? Could this girl be a Level 4 Great Ability user?
What made Lin Wuming even more afraid was Torami Toumi's madness. Facing her directly, he could clearly feel that this girl was truly a ruthless character who dared to kill and take a life!
In comparison, Lin Wuming, though older in psychological age but having always lived in a peaceful environment, was undoubtedly far more indecisive—he wouldn't even hurt someone without extreme hesitation, let alone kill.
Unlike this girl, who, without a word or a second thought, stabbed seven holes into someone. This kind of action plan was enough to make Lin Wuming avoid her at all costs!
Therefore, when he saw Torami Toumi trying to approach him, Lin Wuming was frantic. Even though he rationally knew the girl was likely trying to give him first aid, his physical instinct was intensely fearful of the violent presence that had just harmed him.
If he hadn't needed to maintain the psychic seal on Dr. Sakurai's wounds, Lin Wuming would surely have fled without hesitation.
Fortunately, the hospital doctors and nurses finally arrived at the crucial moment, effectively rescuing Lin Wuming.
The nurses were stunned by the horrific scene in the room, but their professional instincts immediately kicked in, and they began transporting Lin Wuming and Dr. Sakurai to the emergency room.
Torami Toumi tried to follow but was blocked outside.
She paced outside the emergency room door for a while, then suddenly groaned, covering her face and slowly sliding down the wall to sit on the floor.
"What have I done..."
After a long while, footsteps approached—two adults stopped near her.
"Torami, regarding the attack on Dr. Sakurai and Lin Wuming-kun, as the first witness, we hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
The people who had arrived were two Judgment officers in dark blue uniforms.
Torami Toumi sighed heavily, hitting the back of her head against the wall, and said self-deprecatingly: "Fine, I admit I did it... I mean, I stabbed Lin Wuming. But I don't know who attacked Sakurai-sensei."
She explained: "Lin Wuming returned to the room earlier than I did, and I mistakenly thought he was the killer, so I attacked him in a rush."
The Judgment officers weren't surprised by her answer. The officers responsible for this area were generally aware that the girl was emotionally and mentally unstable, prone to impulsivity and anger, and possessed formidable combat abilities. This action wasn't unexpected.
"We will address your issues later," the officer said. "Now, please state where you were and what you were doing when Dr. Sakurai was attacked."
"In the cafeteria," Torami Toumi replied. "We were about to have dinner, and Sakurai-sensei said she was going up to call Lin Wuming. Later, I felt she was taking too long, so I also came up to look for her."
"Through the window?"
"Yes, it's a shortcut; it's faster," the girl said as a matter of fact.
"The room is on the sixth floor!"
"The window ledge is wide, and there are external air conditioning units. It's not difficult to climb."
