Chapter 213: Undercurrents in Academy City
That night, Shangguan Yuhe and Krulu found the young security guard that Jixiong Shetani had mentioned.
After some rude actions, Shangguan Yuhe also got the information he wanted.
Tristina Kihara Leflein is the current leader of the Advanced Rescue Team (MAR) and the director of its affiliated research institute.
However, this is only the identity that she is known to the public. As can be seen from the "Kihara" in her name, she comes from the Kihara family, the family of the famous mad scientist Kihara Gensei.
According to Shangguan Yuhe's memory, this guy is the inventor of the ability reduction device. She is also the granddaughter of Kihara Gensei and a lunatic.
And there was something on her that Shangguan Yuhe wanted...
The next morning, in the 18th School District, MAR Headquarters.
The team members checked in one after another, but after a while they found that Captain Kihara, who always arrived early, was nowhere to be seen.
"what!"
A clear scream broke the silence of the early morning, sweeping away the team members' drowsiness from waking up early.
"What happened?"
A group of team members ran to the place where the sound came from, wanting to find out what was going on.
Arriving at the storage room where the screams came from, everyone entered and was surprised at the scene in front of them.
Captain Taylor Stina was lying in the utility room with a bruised face.
Needless to say, this was done by Shangguan Yuhe and Krulu. After all, she was the captain. In order to prevent the council from knowing, the two did not choose to kill Tristina. Shangguan Yuhe's physical conversation method successfully persuaded her to hand over what Shangguan Yuhe wanted.
What Krullu and Shangguan Yuhe didn't know was that from that day on, Tristina not only fainted at the sight of blood, but also was afraid to look people in the eye, causing her to suffer from severe psychological trauma.
Also on this day, summer vacation begins!
Because most of the students in Academy City are from outside, they all live in dormitories even during holidays, so there is no difference between summer vacation and ordinary weekends, and the relaxed atmosphere of Academy City has not changed much.
If I have to say there is a change, it is that there are a lot more people on the streets compared to when I was in school.
Shangguan Yuhe and Krul were just feeling bored when Shangguan Yuhe received a message from Accelerator.
"Ok?"
Seeing Shangguan Yuhe frowning and Krululu giving him an inquiring look, Shangguan Yuhe showed the content of the information to Krululu.
"The experiment has been accelerated. One party asked me to go to him now. There will be no interval days in the future."
After reading the message, Krul couldn't help but feel curious.
"Why did the experiment speed up right after the summer vacation? This must be the intention of the higher-ups. What do they want to do?"
Shangguan Yuhe shrugged.
"Who knows? I was planning to get to know the leader today. Index should have arrived in Academy City by now. But saving my 'sisters' is more important."
Krul nodded, then suddenly froze, frowned, and asked, "Come to think of it, you sent a message to Mikoto yesterday afternoon, but she didn't reply? If she knew about this, would she just ignore it?"
Shangguan Yuhe was stunned.
Yes, his own clone was used for experiments. How could he remain calm and not ask about it?
But not to mention the phone calls, he didn’t even reply to a single message. Something’s wrong. It’s absolutely wrong!
Shangguan Yuhe found the message sent to Misaka Mikoto on his mobile phone.
Already read?!
There is a question! Unless Misaka Mikoto has lost her phone, I will definitely reply as soon as I see it!
If Clulu hadn't reminded him, he would have ignored it.
After hesitating for just half a second, Shangguan Yuhe decided to call Misaka Mikoto to ask about the situation.
The call was connected almost instantly after it was dialed.
"Hello, Mikoto?"
"Hello, Shangguan Yuhe."
Shangguan Yuhe narrowed his eyes slightly. It was a man who answered the phone! After looking at Krululu, Shangguan Yuhe put the phone on speakerphone.
"who are you?"
Shangguan Yuhe asked tentatively.
The other party chuckled.
"Why don't you take a guess?"
Shangguan Yuhe was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly with some uncertainty.
"Aleister?"
"You really know of my existence."
Aleister's tone became calm, as if he was relieved that his suspicions had been confirmed.
"Shangguan Yuhe, Krulu Cepesi, I noticed you two from the first time you met Accelerator. The credentials you two used to enter Academy City were very clean and without any basis."
Shangguan Yuhe was not worried and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Oh? Then what should we do? We won't be wanted by you, right?"
Aleister responded.
"If you don't have any dangerous intentions, I will naturally not interfere with your daily lives in Academy City. However, you two have made friends with two Level 5 esper users as soon as you arrived, and you know about my existence, which makes me feel even more uneasy."
The phone was already set to speakerphone, and Krul asked, "So what's your attitude?"
"Since you two have no record of developing abilities in Academy City, you are most likely born with abilities. Even in Academy City, there is no absolute way to advance to level 5. I would like to know the purpose of your visit."
Aleister sorted out the logic and also reminded the two not to try to make excuses.
Shangguan Yuhe behaved very casually.
"As people with special abilities, we naturally have to integrate into our own group. Apart from the magic side, we are also the science side. Places outside of Academy City do not welcome us. Is it normal for us to come to Academy City?"
This reason is simple and pure, and because of this, Aleister does not agree with this statement very much.
"I never thought you knew about the existence of magic."
His doubts grew even more.
"If you two have good intentions towards Academy City, I warmly welcome you on behalf of the Board of Directors, but please try your best to abide by the rules of Academy City."
Shangguan Yuhe immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
"We are the most disciplined!"
Crowley seemed to think so as well and nodded in agreement.
Aleister was speechless. What these two guys did last night made them lose all credibility.
"Is the purpose of your talking to us just to warn us?"
Shangguan Yuhe felt that it shouldn't be that simple, but Aleister asked back.
"Didn't you call?"
Shangguan Yuhe didn't expect that an intellectual, rational and old-fashioned man like Aleister would make such a joke.
"Speaking of which, the information you sent to the Railgun was also intercepted and tampered by me. The experiment on the first evolution cannot be known to her so early. Please keep it confidential."
"you……"
Shangguan Yuhe wanted to ask more questions, but a female voice came from the phone.
"Hello? Yuzuru, what are you calling about?"
It was Misaka Mikoto's voice.
Shangguan Yuhe was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Nothing, I just heard about the Fantasy Hand and wanted to ask what happened."
