Chapter 755 Ability Body Crystal Sample

"You've misunderstood. I just wanted to talk to Lin Wuming," Theristina explained. "The reason I was lingering at the door is because Lin Wuming is still resting, and I didn't want to disturb him by barging in."

She had given this explanation many times, but the two girls in front of her ignored it completely, so Theristina could only place her hopes on Lin Wuming.

"Alright, Tiger Bee, don't be so tense," Lin Wuming said, getting up from the hospital bed and walking over. "Captain Theristina, what can I do for you?"

"It's just a field investigation." Theristina chuckled dryly. "I have some questions for Lin Wuming about the details of yesterday's case in the underground streets."

“Perfect timing, I also have something I’d like to ask the captain,” Lin Wuming said.

To be fair, Therese's visit was entirely reasonable. As a member of the guard force and the leader of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team," she certainly had the reason and the right to conduct an investigation.

However, Theristina had only recently returned, and given her special status, it was inevitable that she would feel somewhat alienated from the overall atmosphere of the "Guards Force" organization.

It's important to understand that as a massive organization covering the entire city, there are inevitably many unspoken rules that exist only in tacit understanding among everyone.

For example, regarding the special existence of "Lin Wuming"—his relationship with the guard force, and how to deal with him...

No one has yet given Theristina any advice on such matters.

Although Lin Wuming is a "student" and the guard is a "teacher," the only person who can truly face Lin Wuming as a "teacher" is probably his guardian, Huang Quanchuan Aihui.

Previously, Captain Haiya was quite assertive, but ever since Lin Wuming obtained the title of "Nameless Director," which was tacitly accepted by the council, even Captain Haiya completely gave up on continuing to track and investigate him.

Not to mention, Lin Wuming also has a group of "personal guards" around him - a powerful group with strength, wealth and influence, mainly composed of the young ladies of the Shokuhou faction.

Even though Lin Wuming himself is not difficult to get along with, the "defense circle" surrounding him is very troublesome.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the task of dealing with Lin Wuming is handled by Huangquanchuan Aihui. After all, Huangquanchuan Aihui is not only the guardian of Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi, but also has a good relationship with Shokuhou Misaki, and is considered to be someone who can exert effective influence on them.

At this moment, Theristina, who was being closely watched by several girls, finally understood why her colleagues had shown such subtle expressions when she said she was coming to find Lin Wuming to investigate the situation.

—Tsk, is this a way to suppress newcomers? To make me look bad here?

Theristina rolled her eyes inwardly, but she wasn't particularly nervous.

Because her purpose in coming here was indeed official business; she wanted to investigate the specific circumstances of yesterday.

Even if that "psychological controller" were present, they couldn't accuse me of anything.

After the fierce-looking girl lowered her guard, Theristina finally breathed a sigh of relief and gained a better understanding of Lin Wuming.

Putting everything else aside, he at least had considerable control over his personal guard. Quite capable, no wonder his grandfather noticed him so early on.

Theristina is not a teacher in essence; she grew up on the "dark side" and therefore doesn't particularly care about things like "face."

After all, in the "real world," strength determines everything, and the strong have the right to act recklessly. Once the guard was lifted and she was free to move around, Theristina acted as if nothing had happened, pulling a candy box from her pocket.

“Very good, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Let’s have a good chat, Lin Wuming.”

With a clattering sound, a bright yellow, flat, round candy fell into my palm.

Theristina picked up a candy, popped it into her mouth, and continued shaking the candy box.

"Want one?" she asked, looking at the boys and girls in the room. "But the taste is random, you know."

"No, no need." Lin Wuming shook his head. "Let's get started quickly."

“That’s true,” Theristina nodded, took out her tablet to prepare to take notes, “First of all, regarding yesterday’s incident, after investigation, there are still some unclear points, so we need to ask Lin Wuming, one of the parties involved, to confirm them.”

As she spoke, Theristina glanced at the girls in the ward: "To save time, I'll get straight to the questions. First, about that intruder..."

Lin Wuming has always been patient and cooperative with the guards' investigation, and he has been open and honest about everything he knows, as long as it does not involve his own secrets.

This surprised Theristina. She had thought that today's investigation would just be a formality, but she didn't expect that it would actually yield results!

Theristina has just returned from studying abroad and is in the midst of a rapid career advancement after joining the guard unit. Her desire to make a name for herself is genuine.

Therefore, she was very satisfied with Lin Wuming's cooperation.

Just as the other party was about to finish asking his questions, Lin Wuming suddenly spoke up, saying, "Captain Therista - Analysis of the Law of Berserk: Detonation Experiment."

The woman's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

With a splash, after pouring out another candy, Theristina said, "After all, I've never hidden my identity... It's not surprising that you were able to find out about that experiment. But I'm not trying to deny it, that experiment—aside from the fact that my grandfather was in charge of it—didn't actually have much to do with me. I wasn't even a member of the project team."

“But you are the first subject of the ‘Ability Crystallization’ experiment,” Lin Wuming said.

“Well…” Theristina spread her hands, “According to the standards of ‘heroes,’ I, as the experimental subject, should be considered a victim, someone who needs to be saved, not someone to be punished, right?”

"Don't worry, there won't be any attacks," Lin Wuming said. "However, I need the ability crystal I obtained in that experiment back then—as the first test subject, you should still have it, right?"

"Huh?" Theristina was stunned. She hadn't expected that what Lin Wuming wanted was that.

In an instant, Theristina's mind raced—the legendary "hero" Lin Wuming wouldn't suddenly mention the power crystal without reason; he must have discovered something...

Moreover, Theristina did indeed retain a sample of the original ability crystal.
