Ability Body Crystal!
Terestina subconsciously raised her hand to block in front of her, assuming a defensive posture—she did indeed keep a sample, and she carried it with her.
After all, that was the first and last time she participated in the experiment her grandfather presided over, and the only time she had a chance to touch the realm of level6. No matter how open-minded she seemed, it was impossible for her to truly let it go.
Furthermore, Terestina did not keep this sample purely as a memento.
Although it was finally proven that in terms of 'Superpower', she was a pathetic 'incompetent'; but as a 'Kihara', Terestina's instinct as a researcher prompted her to make this decision—since she couldn't personally become level6, then as a researcher, she would create level6, just like her grandfather was doing.
It was precisely because she held onto such hope or perhaps... ambition, that Terestina secretly kept a small sample of the Ability Body Crystal before leaving, hoping to make a comeback.
However, the corresponding plan had not yet been initiated, after all, she had just returned and hadn't found her footing yet, even if she wanted to start research, she wasn't ready.
Putting aside other things, she hadn't even found suitable test subjects yet.
The reason Terestina joined the Anti-Skill, besides this profession being a good match for her skills, allowing her to fully utilize her talents; the main reason was that Guards had the authority to directly investigate student files, making it convenient for her to find test subjects.
—Why did Lin Wuming suddenly ask for this sample? Thinking about it in reverse... could it be that he found a suitable test subject?
In many ways, the thinking behind stopping an experiment and advancing an experiment is actually very similar, because the focus of both is often the same.
'Alright,' Lin Wuming suddenly said, 'You've thought for too long, which is enough to prove that you do have the sample. Please hand it over. Kiyama Harumi Sensei is in a hurry to save people.'
'I see...' Terestina said, 'Kiyama Harumi, she hasn't given up on saving those children yet? Honestly, I really admire her perseverance.'
'That's right, she is indeed a respectable Teacher.' Lin Wuming nodded, 'Of course, her methods can sometimes be a bit extreme.'
'But...'
'Also,' Lin Wuming interrupted her and continued, 'Do you remember the girl who was with us yesterday? In a sense, the 'earthquake' that happened yesterday was because she was there. She's like a locator, capable of guiding the rampaging AIM Diffusion Field to her side, then erupting, which in turn causes various disasters.'
'AIM Diffusion Field... eruption... I see, is it some kind of collective outbreak phenomenon of RSPK syndrome?' Terestina quickly reacted.
Then she couldn't help but show delight—according to the description, that girl was undoubtedly the best test subject! With her, perhaps she could truly bear the power of the Ability Body Crystal and break through to become level6!
Lin Wuming quietly watched Terestina—she seemed to have thought of something worth being happy about, her expression changing rapidly in a short time, which was quite spectacular.
After a while, Lin Wuming turned his head to look beside him—Shokuhou Misaki was sitting side-by-side with him on the edge of the bed, playing with a remote control in her hand.
Noticing Lin Wuming's gaze, Shokuhou Misaki also looked back and nodded gently.
—Unnamed Senior, it's confirmed. This woman really hasn't changed at all~~ compared to her actions in the original plot.
In other words, although there are no schemes or tricks 'now', Terestina actually already had a plan for what to do after finding a suitable test subject.
At this moment, under Lin Wuming's intentional guidance, these plans were suddenly exposed.
Specifically, it's the development from the original anime plot—find the test subject, then take her away, and at the same time, find and take away Kiyama Harumi's students. Once everyone is gathered, the experiment can be conducted.
During this period, if needed, she would also need to defeat everyone who tried to stop her...
—I didn't expect that I could still encounter developments that match the original plot power now. It's truly touching.
Shokuhou Misaki complained, 'Although this plot point is already destined to be impossible to achieve.'
Because they were preparing to intercept it beforehand.
'Terestina, you'd better give up those unrealistic fantasies in your mind.' Lin Wuming's tone became stern, while saying this, he tapped his head with his finger, 'But please also rest assured, since the matter hasn't happened, as long as you cooperate, we won't do anything unnecessary.'
'You?' Terestina frowned, suddenly feeling a strange sensation.
When she entered the room earlier, she was indeed threatened by two girls, so she had to surrender.
The girl with the fierce face was the attacker, she felt like she could strike at any time and kill her; whereas the famous 'Railgun' and that Spatial Ability User Judgment member were much calmer and didn't show any extreme reactions...
Wait, let's sort this out again... she was threatened by two girls, so what about the other one?
In fact, she was in this room, and she had always been in front of her—she had always clearly been aware of this, but...
Terestina focused her gaze on the girl with golden hair and starry eyes sitting on the edge of the bed—look, she's right here.
But as soon as she looked away, her brain's consciousness would naturally ignore this figure.
As naturally as the mistakes humans often make—like accidentally forgetting something unimportant.
Let's sort out the information again—among the girls active around Lin Wuming, there are two level5s, one is 'Railgun', the other...
'Mental Out?' Terestina murmured to herself, as if deciphering a password. After saying this name, the impression that always slipped away from her consciousness finally solidified.
She realized that she could finally 'see' the girl right in front of her.
Immediately after, Terestina's expression turned ugly, and she inwardly cried out that something was wrong.
—No wonder Lin Wuming said those words just now. With 'Mental Out' present, she had no secrets to hide.
'I'm glad to see you understand this,' Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, 'So, I don't need to say anything more, do I?'
Terestina tensed her face, looking very unwilling.
When she decided to come here to find Lin Wuming today, Terestina actually didn't care about Shokuhou Misaki's 'Mental Out', because at that time, she truly had no secrets that needed to be hidden.
But now...
Terestina had a feeling of falling into a trap.
