A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 402 Compromise and Alternatives

Both Kihara Suto and Tenjing Yaxiong suffered losses at the hands of Lin Wuming, especially Kihara Suto. Five months ago, because he sent out the hunting dog troops to kidnap the tiger bees to get honey, they failed and were wiped out instead. Even the relevant institutions involved were subsequently wiped out by Lin Wuming. The loss was huge.

The only thing to be thankful for was that only a small team of the Hound Corps was wiped out at that time, and the backbone of the organization was not affected.

However, the collapse of the affiliated organization and STUDY's decision to terminate the cooperation still had a significant impact on the Hound Force.

So much so that for a long time after that, Kihara Sudo no longer had any ideas about Lin Wuming and the people around him.

As if remembering his previous failure, Tian Jing Yaxiong quickly said, "But he has indeed been staying in that building for the past few months. And there's still no progress on Accelerator's side. Can we assume that there's actually no special connection between Lin Wuming and Accelerator?"

To be honest, Tian Jing Yaxiong has already developed some psychological trauma towards Lin Wuming, and he doesn't want to continue to oppose Lin Wuming.

Not only is Lin Wuming very powerful, the key is that he has a guard corps to back him up. Those guards seem determined to "shelter" Lin Wuming.

So much so that under the existing rules of Academy City, Lin Wuming is practically invincible in the surface world. How can anyone fight him?
Kihara Suta clenched his fists but did not raise any objections.

His Hound Corps has specialized combat plans for people with special abilities. As long as they make good plans and sufficient preparations, they theoretically have the power to suppress and wipe out Level 5!

However, in the last operation, because they were careless and underestimated the enemy, they did not make a special plan to deal with the tiger bees' honey, and as a result, their entire army was wiped out.

And now, Kihara Sudo also failed to obtain detailed information about Lin Wuming - the person who had done the most in-depth research on Lin Wuming's ability level was the old man Kihara Gensei, but he and he were in a competitive relationship, so it was impossible for him to get first-hand information from him.

Without the support of detailed intelligence, and with Lin Wuming showing strength far beyond that of a level 3, Kihara Sudo didn't dare to act rashly.

It’s not that he feels sorry for his hound troops, but if they fail again, his prestige and influence among his fellow tribesmen will be gone.

"Forget it, let's focus on the experiment first." Kihara Sudo chose to compromise temporarily.

On the one hand, it is also because after taking over the "Mass Production Ability User" plan for half a year, he has not been able to proceed to the next stage of the "Absolute Ability User Evolution" plan, which has put Kihara Sudo under considerable pressure.

You have to know that there are more than one or two people eyeing Accelerator, a top-level research resource. If you occupy the rights to develop the resources but fail to make any progress, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction.

——Dissatisfaction from "Kihara".

To be honest, that was something that even Kihara Suto, who was also a member of the Kihara clan, didn't want to face.

Tian Jing Yaxiong felt relieved, as he didn't want to go through any more trouble.

"Then..." But then he frowned again, "What about the experiment?"

Looking back, we find that the dilemma of the "Absolute Ability Evolution" plan has not yet been resolved?

After all, Accelerator refused to cooperate.

"No one can force Accelerator to do something he doesn't want to do." Akai Ao said distressedly.

Kihara Suta stared at the computer screen, as if he was looking at the other documents and information behind the news program.

Based on the data currently available, a rough mathematical model of Accelerator's abilities has been constructed. However, that data is outdated from two years ago... no, three years ago. How much validity it still holds today, only God knows.

Kihara Suta had considered taking drastic measures, but facing Academy City's most powerful esper, such measures were simply nonsense. Unless he could obtain the most detailed data on Accelerator and construct a new model, he would be in trouble.

As long as enough intelligence is collected, Kihara Suta is confident that he can defeat any target.

"Forget it, let's activate the backup plan." With a long sigh, Kihara Suta made a decision.

He didn't have time to dawdle here. Not only was there pressure from within the Kihara clan, but there was also pressure from the Unified Council... to be more precise, from Chairman Aleister himself.

The Hanged Man seemed to be very concerned about this experiment - but it was understandable. After all, it was a level 6 evolution experiment, which was definitely the highest priority in Academy City. As the founder and ruler of this city, it was normal for Aleister to attach importance to this experiment.

"It doesn't matter who it is. Just grab a Level 5 and try to turn him into a Level 6," Kihara Suta said with a hint of self-deprecation. "And by the way, use up as many of those experimental animals you created as possible..."

He looked at Akai Ao with a hint of irony - one of the pressures the entire project team was under now actually came from those mass-produced Misaka sisters.

It is not an easy task to hide 20,000 people in a city. This is close to 1% of the city’s population!

If the existence of these clones were to be exposed, even the name "Kihara" might not be able to quell the public outcry.

Tian Jing Yaxiong said quickly, "So, the backup candidates are the second-place 'Unreal Matter' and the fourth-place 'Atomic Disintegration'? I'll arrange for someone to contact them right away."

Aside from Accelerator, among the remaining level 5s, only the two who joined the Anbu organization can be used as backup personnel for the experiment.

"Go ahead and decide on the candidate as soon as possible." Kihara Suta waved his hand and told him to get out quickly.

Being forced to use someone other than Accelerator to conduct the experiment was tantamount to judging Kihara Kazuta's failure.

Of course, his mood was not very good.

Soon, a situation arose that made Kihara Suta feel even worse - Kakine Teigumo rejected the invitation to the experiment!
Because of the need to maintain confidentiality, Akai Ao did not directly reveal the matter of Misaka's clone when introducing the experiment to the two alternative level 5s.

It was only said that there was a chance for them to evolve to level 6, and the specific method of the experiment was to fight and kill the girls who were opponents.

For the sake of ranking, the first person to be looked for is the second-ranked Emperor Kakine.

Although he showed some interest in level 6, after hearing that it was an experiment abandoned by Accelerator and that it would require "killing many, many girls", Kakine Teito flatly rejected the invitation.

It even displayed its pure white wings, as if it was ready to kill any staff who came to negotiate with it if they had a disagreement.

So, Tianjing Yaxiong and his friends fled in panic.
