A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 433 Become the Eternal Lord

"The resources you need are ready," Chairman Aleister said. He was very satisfied with Lin Wuming's high efficiency, so he was very active in fulfilling his promise. "Including the medical institutions that can help Misaka clones adjust their bodies, they have also been contacted."

Lin Wuming nodded with satisfaction and finally felt relieved.

To be honest, it was because they were waiting for the resources promised by Chairman Aleister that even though Lin Wuming and the others had found all the Misaka sisters, they still didn't dare to unseal them all.

Now, just taking care of the one thousand Misaka sisters in Warehouse No. 2 has already made Shokuhou Misaki, Misaka Mikoto and the others exhausted.

Then, Lin Wuming pinched his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lin Wuming," Chairman Aleister said gently, "Then you should go back and rest first. I'll let you know when there's another mission..."

"Wait!" Seeing that Chairman Aleister was about to summon Aoki Yuuki, Lin Wuming quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"Anything else?"

"There's another Misaka sister, the most crucial one, whose whereabouts are still unknown." Lin Wuming said, "I want information about Misaka No. 20001 - the final signal."

"Oh..." Chairman Aleister fell into a long silence before continuing, "Unfortunately, I don't know her whereabouts either."

Lin Wuming looked at him coldly, with an expression that said, "Do you think I will believe it?"

In response to his questioning, Chairman Aleister calmly explained, "Mr. Lin Wuming, you may think too highly of me. I'm actually far from omnipotent."

As he spoke, he saw the human body hanging upside down in the huge test tube suddenly shrug.

"Looking at my current state, you can tell I've given up a lot in order to extend human lifespan to its theoretical limit," Chairman Aleister said leisurely. "And the 'Hovering Loop' I rely on is actually the work of the Kihara clan. Do you understand what this means?"

"You mean," Lin Wuming said, "someone from the Muyuan clan got involved in this incident and hid the final signal?"

Chairman Aleister didn't answer, but he expressed a tacit agreement.

If someone else came here, they would probably think that Chairman Aleister was talking nonsense, right?
Lin Wuming knew the original plot, so he knew that what Chairman Aleister said was actually the truth - only in terms of the "defects of the hovering loop."

However, Chairman Aleister never gave a direct response to the question of whether a certain "Muhara" took away the final signal, so Lin Wuming could not really believe his hint.

However, the possibility raised by Chairman Aleister does exist.

At the very least, Kihara Suta is a strong suspect - after all, he is directly related to the "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan".

After knowing that he would never be able to obtain more valuable information from Chairman Aleister, Lin Wuming also lost interest in staying any longer.

"Well, I'll take my leave now. Please ask Aoki Yuzumi to come in," Lin Wuming said. "Also, if there's any news about the final signal, please let us know, Mr. Chairman."

The red-haired space user suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, took Lin Wuming away from the windowless building.

After returning to the lounge that served as a transit station, Aoki Yuuki left without even saying hello and directly activated the "Coordinate Movement".

A moment later, several girls rushed in unexpectedly.

"Wuming-senpai!" Misaka Mikoto's whole body was flashing with electricity, "Are you okay?"

Tiger Bee Toumi followed closely behind. Although he didn't say anything, his pair of emerald green eyes carefully scanned every inch of the lounge. If he found anything suspicious, he would draw his sword!

"I told you not to be so nervous," Shokuhou Misaki finally walked in, looking very relaxed. "This isn't some dangerous place. Wuming-senpai is here to complete a mission." Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but turn around and complain, "But weren't you the one who first said you were coming to pick up Wuming-senpai!"

"Huh? They said they were here to take Senior Wuming home, not to 'provide a response'~"

Amidst the two level 5s' daily argument, Lin Wuming and his group left the "transit station" disguised as an ordinary office building.

After the routine bickering, Misaka Mikoto finally remembered the important matter.

"Senior Wuming," she asked quickly, "Do you have any clues about the final signal?"

Lin Wuming shook his head: "Mr. Chairman said he didn't know either."

"Is this true?" Misaka Mikoto also expressed her doubt.

Although she didn't know much about Chairman Aleister, she had been influenced by Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki, and had inadvertently formed the impression that "the chairman was a very powerful person."

"I'm not sure," Lin Wuming shook his head, "but I think it's more likely that he's just trying to be perfunctory with me."

As he spoke, Lin Wuming sighed: "The root cause is that I'm not strong enough."

Now it is Lin Wuming and his men who need help, so of course they cannot take a tough stance against Chairman Aleister.

After all, the current fact is that all 20,000 Misaka sisters rely on the resources provided by Chairman Aleister to survive.

This is equivalent to 20,000 "hostages" being held in the hands of Chairman Aleister. Any negotiations under such circumstances will naturally be disadvantageous to Lin Wuming and his team.

"Damn it, I really have to find a way to be self-sufficient!" Shokuhou Misaki said through gritted teeth, "Looks like this is the only way!"

"What idea have you come up with?" asked Misaka Mikoto.

"You must help this time, Misaka-san. Don't be lazy anymore!" Shokuhou Misaki said, "I want to become 'Eidai-hime'!"

"What is that?" Misaka Mikoto asked with a puzzled look.

"...Misaka, you really don't know anything about factions," Shokuhou Misaki said helplessly, "And yet you're part of the most powerful faction..."

"The most powerful? Judging by the size of the faction, it's only ranked fourth." Misaka Mikoto pointed out bluntly, "And that's only if you include my supporters."

"I'm talking about potential, potential!" Shokuhou Misaki argued. "The leader is a Level 5 faction. We're the only one in Tokiwadai Junior High, right? And we have a Level 5 fighter. What's wrong with saying we're the strongest?"

"Who's the thug?" Misaka Mikoto complained, then added, "Besides, factions aren't organizations that value combat effectiveness. The key is the number of people, right?"

"Isn't this clear?" Shokuhou Misaki muttered. "Please remember this—the leader of the largest faction in Tokiwadai for at least a year, and continuing until graduation, will be called 'Eiyaro-hime'!"

"What's with this chuunibyou nickname?" Misaka Mikoto complained. "Are Hasekura-san and the others really vying for it?"

"It's said that after graduating, 'Eidai-kun' has the opportunity to become a member of the Unified Council," Shokuhou Misaki continued. "She's one of the twelve people who rule this city's highest leadership body, second only to Chairman Aleister."

Shokuhou Misaki narrowed her eyes and said, "As long as I become a director, with the resources and power I'll have, taking care of 20,000 people shouldn't be a problem."
