A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 754 Theristina

“Wuming needs to rest now,” Tiger Bee Honey, who had been silent until now, suddenly said. “These things… can be dealt with after Wuming recovers and is discharged from the hospital.”

“That’s true,” Misaka Mikoto immediately agreed. “Ms. Kiyama Harumi, you should go back now.”

Kiyama Haruo visibly relaxed as he led his students out of the ward.

"Thank you for your help, Tiger Bee." Lin Wuming leaned back on the hospital bed and nodded to Tiger Bee. "This matter does indeed require careful consideration."

Just now, Kiyama Harumi looked like he was waiting for the final verdict, but in reality, Lin Wuming also felt it was difficult, since he didn't know the truth of the matter and couldn't make an accurate judgment.

“She wasn’t lying,” Misaki Shokuhou said. “That girl’s situation was indeed quite unusual, and it felt… somewhat similar to the Misaka Sisters’ thought processes.”

"I see." Lin Wuming nodded thoughtfully.

"Nameless!" Tiger Bee Honey reached out and turned Lin Wuming's face towards him. "What I said just now wasn't just to appease Mushan Chunsheng and the others! Have you forgotten the doctor's advice? You need to rest now!"

Because Misaki Shokuhou knew the original storyline, she was naturally very interested in the "disorderly opening" incident.

Misaka Mikoto sympathizes with Kiyama Harumi and her students, so she is inclined to help them solve their problems.

The process of tiger bees scavenging honey is much simpler; in her view, it's ultimately "someone else's business."

If he still has the capacity, Tiger Bee is happy to help others; however, when he is overwhelmed with his own affairs, the most important thing is to take care of his own business first, especially matters concerning Lin Wuming.

After Hu Feng Tou Mi's reminder, the other girls present also came to their senses and agreed with her suggestion.

“Tiger Bee is right,” Misaki Shokuhou wholeheartedly agreed. “Nameless Senior, just rest and recuperate. As for the investigation… leave it to them! Don’t worry, we’ll get the results soon!”

Lin Wuming accepted the girls' advice and decided to stay in the ward to recuperate.

Although on the surface, his injuries appeared to have healed and he could be discharged from the hospital at any time.

However, the aftereffects of magical backlash are not so easy to eliminate.

For example, even now, Lin Wuming still feels tired and drowsy.

The advice given by the Underworld Soul Chaser is to "rest more," preferably to enter a deep sleep state.

So Lin Wuming lay down on the hospital bed and started catching up on sleep.

In the room, the girls exchanged glances, and then Misaki Shokuhou took out a remote control and pointed it at Lin Wuming.

"Well then, goodnight, nameless senior, sweet dreams~"

Press the button for powerful hypnosis.

"Alright." Misaki Shokuhou put down the remote and nodded in satisfaction. "For the next eight hours, the nameless senior will enter a deep sleep."

She had done similar things more than once, so Misaki Shokuhou was already very familiar with it.

“What we need to do next is to guard this place,” Misaki Shokuhou said, looking at the ward door again. “We can’t let any more random people or things disturb the nameless senior.”

“Leave this to me,” said Tiger Bee Honey. “I won’t let anyone in to disturb Nameless.”

“Then next,” Misaki Shokuhou nodded, then looked at Misaka Mikoto, “Misaka, let’s investigate what Professor Kiyama Harumi mentioned.”

"Huh? Me?" Misaka Mikoto pointed at herself, her face full of surprise. "Of course it's you! Isn't gathering information a perfect match for your superpower?" Shokuhou Misaki clicked her tongue. "The nameless senior is also concerned about this matter, so don't try to slack off, hurry up and work with me."

Even while in a deep sleep, Lin Wuming did not stop thinking.

Lin Wuming discovered at some point that he could maintain a certain level of thinking ability while sleeping.

Of course, in terms of thinking efficiency, it is far inferior to a normal waking state—thinking in a sleep state is like drifting on the sea in a small boat.

Although one can think, the direction of that thinking is uncontrollable, emphasizing that one's thoughts wander wherever they may.

From this perspective, it's actually more like a kind of "lucid dream".

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Now, Lin Wuming finds himself pondering the "disorderly and open" plot points from the original work.

—I never imagined that Theresa Is actually a real person!
Strictly speaking, the entire "messy open" incident is original content from the anime. Haruka Emi and Theristina are also original characters, belonging to official fan creations, and should be considered two different concepts from the true "original work".

Haruue Koi is alright, as she has at least received recognition from the original work, but Theristina is almost a completely original character, and in the main story, she only appears briefly by name.

In addition, Theristina has always kept a low profile in this world and left Academy City to study abroad at a very young age, so Lin Wuming had never even heard of her name.

But unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared at this moment...

As the original story unfolds, the key item that ultimately saves Kiyama Harumi's students—the "Ability Crystal"—is in Theristina's possession.

If this doesn't change in reality... then things are simple.

Once Theristina is found, Lin Wuming will have plenty of ways to obtain the "Ability Crystal"!
When Lin Wuming woke up, he opened his eyes.

I saw a strange woman standing against the wall, raising her hands with a helpless expression on her face.

Before her, the tiger bee Toumi held a bandage and stared at her menacingly.

On the other side, Misaki Shokuhou was also holding the remote control, glancing at her every now and then.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko exchanged glances, but in this atmosphere, they didn't say much.

The woman whom the girls were wary of was none other than Terestina Kihara Leveren, the captain of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team".

The "Kihara" in her name is inherited from her grandfather, Kihara Gensei.

However, Theristina has not yet been recognized by the "Kihara Clan," so strictly speaking, she cannot be considered a "Kihara" in the true sense.

However, in Misaki Shokuhou's eyes, this woman was, after all, the granddaughter of that old man Kihara Gensei; even based on that alone, she could not be taken lightly.

Even though she had been away from the workshop for a long time, Misaki Shokuhou never forgot about Kihara Gensei, this big trouble.

“Nameless Senior.” Upon seeing Lin Wuming wake up, Misaki Shokuhou immediately said, “This woman has been lurking suspiciously outside the ward, so we temporarily took her into custody.”

Actually, Misaki Shokuhou deliberately created trouble to detain the person. She knew that in the original story, the key to solving the problem lay in the "Ability Crystal" in Therista's possession.

In order to resolve the problem as quickly as possible, Misaki Shokuhou believed that obtaining the "Ability Crystal" directly from her was the fastest way.
