Chapter 258 - 258: Secret Of Limiter

Two sports cars were racing through the roads that were surrounded by tall trees on both sides when Lucifer heard a noise.
"She's coming to her senses. That's good," he muttered as he noticed the woman slightly moving.
"Ouch."
Ayn slowly opened her eyes to notice that her head was aching as if it was going to blow up. She was initially in a daze as she remembered what had happened.
How did she get in a car from inside the Dome? Was she captured?
She understood that the first thing she needed to do was get out of the car. It was evident she was captured as she remembered her head being hit. As for the people in the car, they didn't seem like her team members.
"Little girl, I know what you're thinking. Don't use your powers if you don't want to suffer," Lucifer softly whispered in Ayn's ears.
As Ayn heard the threatening tone, she realized that she was with the enemies. Not only that, they even made her sit on their lap? How lewd were these people to take advantage of this situation, she wondered.
She decided to use her powers and stab the guy who made her sit on his lap. Since she was so close to him, she found it simple. All she needed was to make an Ice Knife to stab the person.
She slightly raised his hand to call forth her powers.
"Arghhhhh!"
A loud scream echoed in the car, which even went outside as the windows were open. Fortunately, they weren't in a city, so no one heard the scream.
The scream soon stopped as Ayn lost consciousness again.
"I did warn her. She can't blame me now," Lucifer said as he shook his head ignorantly. "At least she'll try to be careful next time. If she's not stupid enough."
He again started looking outside.
The cars continued zooming through the cities as six more hours passed before Ayn gained her consciousness again.
But this time, she didn't make a noise. She believed it was Lucifer who had shocked her as he probably noticed that she was about to attack.
She didn't know that it was an automated process because of the bracelet that was on her wrist.
This time her plan was to attack before Lucifer could even know that she was up.
She subtly tried to call forth her power again as she kept her eyes closed and her breathing uniform.
"Arghhhh!"
Another scream echoed inside the car, but the windows happened to be closed this time which drowned most of the noise.
She again lost consciousness.
"I guess I overestimated her intelligence last time. She's not really smart, is she? It doesn't matter. I removed the limitation of only three shocks. She can try as many times as she wants," Lucifer muttered softly.
As the journey continued, Ayn once again woke up. This time, she didn't try to create a knife but used all her powers to freeze Lucifer.
"Arghhhh!"
With a loud scream, she again lost her consciousness.
"It's like a repeat telecast at this point. Why doesn't she understand? Shouldn't you explain to her how it works? She's probably thinking that you're shocking her, I believe. If she knew it was automated, she wouldn't try to do it," Jiang reminded Lucifer.
He had noticed the problem. She wasn't an idiot, after all; at least that's what he assumed.
"How can I tell her? She's trying to be sneaky. Before I even realize she's up, I hear her screams. As soon as she stops being sneaky and getting hurt, I can try to get through," Lucifer replied lazily.
"But I'm not in a hurry. She can take as much time as she wants in tasting the shock," he further said.
"That shock sounds scary. To make someone like her lose consciousness, how does it work?" Jiang asked, frowning.
"The basic principle is simple actually. When it attaches itself to a person, it studies them to understand their body sequencing at that point, setting that at the initial point."
"When a person tries to use their powers, their body sequencing changes. The bracelet notices it and shocks them. As for the intensity, it's just enough to make them unconscious," Lucifer explained.
Even he was confused about how it worked when he had regained his memories because, according to his information, it shocked when a power was used. But his decay was working all that time. He was never shocked for that.
His decay never stopped. So he was curious why it didn't shock him. Thus, he took a bracelet with him to study and understand.
It was only after studying a bracelet when it wasn't being used did he realize what the trick was.
The only reason it didn't shock him was because his decay was active when he wore the bracelet.
That's when the bracelet set point zero of his body sequencing, and it considered that decay to be normal.
He believed that's why the bracelets were given in the auditorium since that was the place where everyone was relaxed and simply sitting.
So no one was going to use their powers when wearing the bracelets to fool the limiter regarding their normal body sequencing. Unfortunately, they didn't expect Lucifer's power to be active even then.
The academy kept it a secret from everyone else so no one could bypass this at the orientation. Even he wouldn't have ever known if he hadn't investigated an ownerless bracelet.
...
Two sports cars entered the city of Kensington in the middle of the night as they advanced towards the Mansion of Jiang, moving through the empty roads.
They entered the Estate, which was being taken care of by the guards that Jiang had called for. Unfortunately, no servants were here yet. Only one guard was here who sat at the main gates of the Estate.
The two cars stopped at the entrance of the mansion inside the Welling Estate. Jiang was the first person to step out as he yawned.
"Finally, we're back!" He exclaimed as he took off the wig and the beard that he was wearing. His skin was already itchy after having that for so long.
He walked over to Lucifer's side and opened the door before he helped him get Ayn out.
Lucifer also stepped out as he yawned. "Does feel good to be free of the weight. She's pretty heavy."
"You shouldn't comment on the weight of a woman. From my personal experience, I can say it can turn pretty bad," Jiang told Lucifer, laughing.
"Enough talking. Open the gates for me," Lucifer said as he picked up Ayn in his arms again.
