A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 812 Theristina's Plan
After hearing Aleister's words, Kihara shook his head and then lit a cigar.

Aleister's reasons sounded plausible, but...

If we don't limit ourselves to the role of "chairman," perhaps Aleister would also be a typical "Kihara."

As the man who created this city and built the superpower system, even if that wasn't his intention, he wouldn't deliberately prevent the birth of Level 6.

It's just shifting all the blame onto Mr. Kihara Gensei.

Of course, Mr. Kihara Gensei didn't mind.

The vibrations stopped as the two were talking.

“You can leave now,” Chairman Aleister said. “Take good care of the guests you invited.”

“What guest?” Kihara’s brainstem was not surprised at all—there was indeed no secret in this city that could be hidden from the man in front of him. “Kihara Kagura is a citizen of Academy City. He has not defected.”

“So far, there has been no defection,” Chairman Aleister corrected. “Do you really think I don’t know about his underhanded tactics?”

However, just as Kihara's brainstem said, at least so far, Kihara Kagura has not committed any actual acts of betrayal, which is why Chairman Aleister has tacitly allowed him to return to Academy City.

Anyway, every Kihara is bound to cause trouble and engage in all sorts of underhanded tactics. If you really take it seriously, I doubt many Kiharas are truly innocent.

Aleister didn't bother to argue about it.

“So…” After Kihara Brainstem left, Aleister muttered to himself, “There’s one more person—Theristina, what are you doing right now?”

……

hum~~
Periodically released electromagnetic pulses sweep across the area where the drive armor is located, artificially creating a "clean zone".

Theristina sat in the cockpit of her powered armor, munching on candy with a hint of boredom.

Electromagnetic interference is bidirectional. In order to ensure the interference frequency, Theristina specially modified the "Railgun" launcher originally mounted on the machine into an electromagnetic jammer.

In any case, according to Lin Wuming and Misaka Mikoto, FIVE_Over technology has matured, especially the replica of the "Railgun", which has reached the level of mass production. There is no point in keeping this "outdated" weapon.

This is good, at least we can block the monitoring of "hanging loop".

Theristina hadn't actually done anything wrong, but she had to keep it a secret from Chairman Aleister.

What she really wanted to guard against was Kihara Yuichi, or more accurately, Kihara's brainstem, that golden retriever.

Kihara, who was forcibly promoted from an ordinary golden retriever, is the most unique member of the Kihara clan, even among the Kihara brainstem.

Of course, the other Kiharas didn't see anything wrong with this and didn't care about the difference in species. Instead, it proved that Theristina was not up to par and could not be considered a true Kihara.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. It doesn’t matter if it’s a cat or a dog, as long as it gets vaccinated properly. I don’t mind spending time with it occasionally,” Theristina muttered. “The real problem is its attitude.”

The Kihara clan are all exceptionally intelligent and cunning individuals, making dealing with them an extremely tiring and even dangerous experience.

Especially when you have ulterior motives, you must avoid direct contact with them to prevent your plan from being exposed and ultimately failing!
Judging from the current situation, Therese is no doubt that she has her own purpose. She is not simply cooperating with Lin Wuming and his group to fight against her grandfather, Kihara Gensei.

Of course, the reason of "opposing Kihara Gensei" cannot be said to be entirely false, but it can only be said that this was one of Theristina's objectives. She used Lin Wuming and the vast power surrounding him. Otherwise, Theristina's own strength would not even be enough to make Kihara Gensei take her seriously.

"That little girl, Misaki Shokuhou, is indeed very capable, but ultimately she's too arrogant and too young." Theristina knew that she had successfully deceived Misaki Shokuhou's mind-reading ability.

Or rather, Theristina used the advantage of information asymmetry to employ a calculated strategy to get Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou to choose to cooperate with her.

After all, Therese did not intend to harm them, and the two sides were indeed in a relationship of "mutual exploitation"—Lin Wuming had been clear about this from the beginning.

However, Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou underestimated Theristina's ambition and scheming.

After all, she was Kihara Gensei's granddaughter, and Theristina knew that her grandfather's next research target was Lin Wuming.

Therefore, as long as we find a way to provoke a conflict between Lin Wuming and Kihara Gensei, the subsequent developments will naturally follow.

Grandpa will definitely take the opportunity to start the experiment and directly target Lin Wuming!

Once this process begins, Theristina's goal has been achieved, and she no longer needs to do anything else.

All we need to do is stay out of the way, or find a good spot to observe how things unfold, and then wait for both sides to resolve the situation completely...

The biggest risk was that during the recent summer festival, the golden retriever suddenly approached Lin Wuming and they talked about something.

Theristina also knew that Kihara Brainstem's interest in Lin Wuming was actually influenced by Kihara Kagura. In a sense, it could even be said that it went to see Lin Wuming on behalf of Kihara Kagura, who was not yet in Academy City at the time.

This is a very dangerous sign. Kihara Kagura, Kihara Brainstem, and Kihara Yuichi, who unconditionally stands by Kihara Brainstem's side...

This means that a considerable number of members of the "Kihara Clan" are on Lin Wuming's side.

Regardless of their true purpose or whether they have ulterior motives, since they have now chosen to stand on Lin Wuming's side, they may expose Theristina's intentions to Lin Wuming.

Even if her little thoughts were exposed, it wouldn't matter—given Lin Wuming's temperament, he probably wouldn't care much, right?

All he needs to do then is figure out how to deal with those troublesome girls around him.

But Theristina was still unwilling to take the risk.

—As long as we get through today, it won't matter if those boys and girls get angry or upset after this is over.

Suddenly, the shaking stopped.

Although it only lasted for a few seconds, the strange and powerful tremor left a deep impression on Theristina.

The sudden cessation of the vibration startled her awake.

Immediately opening the cockpit, Terestina, standing on the rooftop of the high-rise building, gazed in the direction of the 20th school district.

"It's over. No Level 6 was created." Theristina smiled. "Grandpa failed, and Lin Wuming... didn't really succeed either. I won!"
