Seeing the look of terror on Subject 03's face, Will immediately went on high alert.
This was the first time he had ever seen Subject 03 look so horrified after using his psychic ability.
Before, whenever Subject 03 used his psychic ability, it wouldn't be long before the mission target came here of their own accord.
But now, something was clearly wrong with Subject 03.
What on earth had happened?
At the thought, Will's expression turned grave.
He raised his pistol and signaled for the three or four burly men around him to stay alert.
They had to be ready for whatever danger might come.
A few minutes earlier, on Lynn's end.
He had just set off toward the spot where the Black woman had been when he realized he could no longer sense her location.
There were only two possible explanations.
Either his genjutsu had been broken, or the Black woman was dead.
"Looks like the mastermind has realized something's wrong."
Lynn strode forward, the corners of his lips lifting into a cold smile.
"When I find you, you'll—"
Before he could finish, he felt something trying to burrow into his mind.
"A psychic Mutant?"
Lynn's heart tightened.
That needle-pricking sensation in his mind could only mean one thing: a psychic Mutant was attacking him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Mangekyō Sharingan in Lynn's eyes began to glow with an eerie light.
The next moment, in a blood-red space, he saw a pale, slender young White man.
"W-where is this?"
Subject 03, the Mutant who had been about to take control of Lynn, frowned at the blood-red space around him.
This didn't seem to be a person's mental world...
"You're the mastermind?"
Lynn appeared in front of Subject 03 in an instant.
Subject 03's expression changed dramatically, and he stumbled backward.
"Who are you? And where is this?"
"Who am I?" Lynn chuckled. "Where is this?"
"You were trying to kill me, you mutt, and now you're asking where you are?"
Looking at Lynn's eerie, scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan, Subject 03 felt as if countless needles were stabbing into his skull.
An intense pain surged through his brain.
His pale face filled with horror.
"No... How is this possible?!"
Subject 03 was shaken to the core. He stared at Lynn, unable to believe his eyes.
"How can you have a psychic ability?"
"A psychic ability?" Lynn shook his head. "What if I'm just strong-willed?"
"How is that possible?" Subject 03 said in a panic.
In all his years, he had never seen a Mutant without psychic powers resist his mental intrusion through sheer willpower.
How could this man in front of him do it?!
"So this is what a psychic ability feels like?" Lynn sensed the man opposite him.
He could tell the other man wasn't physically in front of him. He existed as a kind of magnetic field.
It reminded Lynn of a theory from his previous life.
A person's mind and soul were, in fact, both composed of the natural magnetic fields around them.
Perhaps once he reached Magnetic Field Rotation—or obtained the Magnet-Magnet Fruit—he could truly understand all this.
But for now, he needed to deal with these people.
Lynn looked up at Subject 03.
In almost the same instant, Subject 03's mind fell into the illusion Lynn had created.
Inside the illusion, Subject 03 felt his arms and legs being pulled up and tied in place.
"What is this place...? Woof?!"
He raised his head, but before he could get a word out, he realized his head had turned into a dog's.
He couldn't even speak. And when he looked at the men in front of him, they seemed enormous.
Four muscular men, wearing very little and exuding a certain philosophical air, approached at a leisurely pace.
Their faces wore malicious smiles as their bold gazes roamed over every inch of Subject 03.
Powerful music also blared throughout the space.
Subject 03: "..."
In almost an instant, his forehead was beaded with cold sweat.
"D-don't come any closer!!!"
In just a few seconds, Subject 03 felt as if he had lived through an entire lifetime.
It was as though he had fallen into some terrifying hell.
The four burly men toyed with him in every way imaginable, putting him through all kinds of torment.
He couldn't tell reality from illusion.
The four men used all sorts of vulgar moves and disgusting objects to torment and humiliate him without end.
The ordeal left Subject 03 deeply scarred, body and mind.
He even felt as if his lower half had been crushed.
There wasn't a single part of his body left unscathed.
Seeing Subject 03 trapped in the genjutsu, Lynn began to sense his surroundings, following the magnetic field to find where Subject 03 was.
A person's magnetic field was connected to the condition of their body and all sorts of other factors.
Everyone's magnetic field was unique. As long as Lynn followed the psychic Mutant's magnetic field, he would be able to find where those people were.
"Found you."
Once he had located them, Lynn shot off as a blurred shadow.
BOOM!!
The iron security door was kicked off its hinges.
It flew through the air, tearing through it with a fierce whoosh as it hurtled into the room.
One of the burly men was blown apart in an instant, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The thick stench of blood filled the air.
Will had been keeping his eyes on Subject 03, watching for any sign of trouble.
The sudden turn of events left him stunned for a moment.
He turned his head and saw a tall, pitch-black figure standing in the doorway.
A sense of foreboding welled up in Will's heart.
Could this guy... be their mission target?
Lynn left Will standing right where he was, planting a Genjutsu Seed in him before leaving.
From that man, Lynn had learned about some of the base's missions and other information.
So he had left behind someone who could talk, intending to send him back to the Black Skull's headquarters.
Lynn didn't expect the man to be able to take down the Black Skull, but at the very least, he could make life difficult for those damned mutts.
After all, they had hunted him down so many times. If he didn't fight back, wouldn't that make him a coward?
And from Will, Lynn had also found out about another Mutant Research Base under the Black Skull.
There was something he needed at that base.
The Tesseract.
As Lynn was thinking, a hazy mist began to gather around him.
His viewpoint shot upward in an instant, rising above New York, then beyond the entire Earth, until he arrived in the Unknown Land.
The other three Lynns appeared there as well.
"Why are we back again? Which of you got stronger?"
One Piece Lynn scratched his head.
He had been hiding with Penny in the Sabaody Archipelago, waiting for the Kid Pirates to show up so he could take them out.
Then he had found himself transported to the Unknown Land.
Marvel Lynn nodded and said,
"My Electric Current Drive has reached 300,000 volts, and I can already sense some changes in the magnetic field. I'm not far from Magnetic Field Rotation."
DC Lynn added, "I've cultivated Primordial Unity to the Great Completion stage, and my Perfect Realm seems to have improved."
Naruto Lynn said, "I haven't changed much. I've been keeping Uchiha Sasuke with me, and we're almost at the Land of Lightning."
Seeing how quickly the others were progressing, One Piece Lynn nodded.
"Since we've all made progress, let's not waste any time. We should share right away."
