A Scientific Urban Detective

Back to a few minutes earlier…

Council Member Sherbing was staring blankly at the screen wall in front of him.

Due to the cameras installed on the robots being destroyed along with the units, these small screens lost signal one by one, turning into blue screens.

Council Member Sherbing's face was illuminated with a blue glow.

The situation outside couldn't even be described as a "sudden turn for the worse"; in fact, because Lin Wuming's movements were too fast, so fast as to be unreal, Council Member Sherbing believed that it wasn't his FIVE_Over corps being completely annihilated, but rather the radio waves transmitting the real-time monitoring images being infected by Misaka Mikoto.

However, among the hundred-plus machines, there were always a few that captured key information—their "final moments" images before being destroyed by unknown attacks.

The development of the situation… seemed to be somewhat beyond his expectations…

Cold sweat couldn't help but seep from Council Member Sherbing's forehead—he felt like something was wrong.

Even just a minute ago, Council Member Sherbing was still full of confidence, without a doubt that his FIVE_Over corps would wipe out the invaders in one fell swoop. The only thing he needed to worry about was how to give Chairman Aleister a reasonable explanation afterward. After all, if one or two Level 5s died, there had to be an explanation…

Council Member Sherbing had proactively engaged Lin Wuming and the others, and was confident in killing them.

You see, when he received the information from the Juvenile Reformatory's "Ultimate Weapon 001," Council Member Sherbing was both surprised and delighted.

Although he was initially taken aback by the actions of those arrogant little brats, Council Member Sherbing immediately realized—

That if things continued to develop in this way, he could justifiably get rid of Shokuhou Misaki!

The girl who was assessed as "most likely to become the true Eternal Princess."

He wouldn't need to go to great lengths to concoct conspiracies and tricks like he did four years ago, and he wouldn't have to deal with the pressure from the Tokiwadai Group; this time, the girl was at fault first, she provoked him first!

Therefore, Council Member Sherbing believed that he had ample reason to counterattack in self-defense; and that "the dignity of superiors cannot be violated," making the other party pay the price of their life, was also justified.

On the other hand, his development of the "Mental Stinger" type FIVE_Over was not going smoothly. This ability had very poor compatibility with the project, and it seemed completely impossible to "mechanize and generalize" it.

If skills like "mind reading" and "mind manipulation" didn't have some practical use, Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Out" would probably be the most worthless ability—similar to that seventh-ranked one.

In Council Member Sherbing's view, it probably wouldn't matter if one such research subject was lost.

At most, he just needed to spare Lin Wuming's life. After all, he was a popular figure in the Anti-Skill and Judgment, and he was also helping Chairman Aleister with his work. If he died, it would probably be troublesome…

Council Member Sherbing had planned everything well and gathered ample combat power for this.

Even if the FIVE_Over might not be as good as a real Level 5 in terms of performance, as long as there were enough of them, it wouldn't be a problem.

He didn't believe that the one hundred and twenty-five FIVE_Over units he had manufactured with a large investment of resources would be unable to defeat a mere two Level 5s…

…

"Hmm…" Shokuhou Misaki tapped her chin with the remote control. "How should I put it? This guy's mediocrity really exceeded my expectations…"

"Mediocrity?" Himegami Aisa casually asked as she used her fingernails to cut off the bandage already stained red with blood.

The other end of the bandage turned into a sharp sword, piercing Council Member Sherbing's chest and pinning him to the chair.

However, Council Member Sherbing, who was completely in a state of hypnosis, seemed to have completely forgotten the pain. He was just like he was asleep, quietly closing his eyes, without saying a word.

"In short, this guy has been trying to deal with us within the framework of rules," Shokuhou Misaki shrugged.

"Rules? What rules?" Lin Wuming asked.

"Rules that he unilaterally imagined—" Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "For example, that the two Level 5s on our side can't beat a hundred FIVE_Over… or something like that."

"In other words," Lin Wuming nodded, "Council Member Sherbing doesn't have a correct concept of Level 5—he doesn't know how powerful Level 5s are."

Otherwise, anyone else who knew the situation even slightly would never say such a thing.

Similarly, Lin Wuming also discovered that Council Member Sherbing didn't know how terrifying Chairman Aleister was.

The main reason Council Member Sherbing was wary of Chairman Aleister was simply because the other party was the "Chairman," while he was just a "Council Member." It was simply a difference in status and position.

In Council Member Sherbing's concept, he wasn't incapable of going up against Chairman Aleister now—with the successive success of the two major projects of "mechanizing and generalizing super powers" and "automating the secondary industry," he didn't lack power, wealth, influence, or technical strength, and he even had a FIVE_Over army. What was there to be afraid of?

That's why Shokuhou Misaki said he was just an "ordinary person bound by the framework of rules."

Until Himegami Aisa single-handedly charged to the top floor and pinned him to the chair, Council Member Sherbing didn't realize what was happening. Instead, he felt like he was under hypnosis, and everything he was seeing was just an illusion…

"I can't believe that the one who plotted against Musashino Yozuru four years ago was a guy like this…" Shokuhou Misaki muttered.

"By the way," hearing Shokuhou Misaki's words, Lin Wuming quickly asked, "What happened to that Musashino Yozuru in the end? Is she still alive?"

In addition to satisfying his own curiosity, this question was also related to Sandan Sento's next actions.

"I don't know." Shokuhou Misaki shook her head, her face also full of doubt. "Although this guy did order Musashino Yozuru to be executed, he didn't witness the scene himself, and no one seems to have verified whether his subordinates carried out the order…"

In addition to Council Member Sherbing himself, there were also his secretary and team of staff on this floor. Information obtained from them showed that something seemed to have happened to the organization that used to work for them, specializing in eliminating people.

Just when they accepted the task of "dealing with Musashino Yozuru."

Therefore, there is currently no evidence to prove that Musashino Yozuru is indeed dead.

The newest novel is first published at Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

"Is this also considered good news?" Misaka Mikoto said with deep emotion, "After all, no bad news is good news!"

The reason Sherbing plotted against Musashino Yozuru back then was because she threatened his position as "Council Member."

Since Musashino Yozuru had lost the title of "Eternal Princess" after a series of conspiracies and plans, and was even expelled from school, she had lost her threat.

Council Member Sherbing naturally wouldn't care about her anymore, so he didn't care about her life or death.

"Damn it, the clues are broken again!" Shokuhou Misaki said frustratedly.
