Chapter 145: An angel that almost died from starvation…
Academy City, inside a research lab…
“Chief! It’s bad ya’ll!”
An elderly guy dressed formally frowned when he heard this voice. He shouted back at the voice with annoyance.
“What’s the ruckus! Don’t you know I hate being disturbed?!”
The guy that got yelled at sheepishly said.
“But chief, s.h.i.+t’s going down!”
“What in the world happened?”
“The military clone samples are all gone!”
“Oh?”
The elder flinched and then he dismissed him with a few waves of his hand.
“Then let it be, just get the guys downstair to clone some more.”
“But…. But chief, the DNA sample is gone as well!”
“What!”
The elder is finally surprised.
At the same time, across Academy City, more than 5 firms under the
same name as this research lab encountered the same issue as well. The
sisters living there disappeared along with the DNA samples as if they
were spirited away without a trace!
When the researchers found out and reacted to the situation.
Investigations through various mean were conducted for instance through
replaying CCTV footage or other investigative methods all led to no
results.
After that, the other researchers conducting the same research heard
about the ones that got hit with this event and they all did a roll call
of the sisters. Upon finding out that not a single one of their sisters
had gone missing, the researchers all released a sigh of relief.
Soon, the researchers begun their search through the sisters, or
rather through the Misaka network. If they want to locate the other
sisters, the most effective method would be asking these sisters.
To their surprise, the sisters revealed that the other sisters got kidnapped by a strange thief.
The researchers all got really furious. To a scientist, getting their
research materials looted is probably the most infuriating issue ever.
In fact, some of the researchers are so mad their eyes got red.
When they asked the sisters what the thief looked like they all couldn’t answer.
The reason is quite simple, they would only use vague terms like
thief and monster to refer to the kidnapper. According to them, they
didn’t know how to describe the perpetrator.
When asked to track the other sisters down via MISAKA network, they said the connection got severed.
However, they are sure of one thing. There is some plot going on behind the scenes that involves the sisters.

Academy City: School district 7..
There’s a very special building here that stands out like a sore
thumb, it has no windows and although it in the central area of school
district 7, there doesn’t seem to be human activities in the 10 meter
radius of the building….
Within the building, in a room br.i.m.m.i.n.g with sci-fi feel, lined with
countless test tubes filled with mysterious yellow liquid that connects
the ceiling and the floor, there’s a white haired man floating upside
down in a tube while wearing a green hospital gown…
He is the general superintendent of Academy City, the mastermind behind almost everything that happens in this city, Aleister!
In front of him, numerous projections are currently playing, being
replayed over and over. It’s unknown whether or not it’s because the
owner is not satisfied with what he is seeing but the projections kept
replaying…
Being displayed over and over is the research labs in uproar after
the sisters and DNA samples disappeared. After a bit of time, the
displays stopped and disappeared. Aleister closed his eyes and by doing
so, the surrounding fell into silence. A single barely audible sentence
broke the silence…
“A thief… is it…”

While the upper echelons of Academy City is busy tearing out their
wig, the perpetrator behind it all is walking on the street like he owns
the joint. He toured around with intrigue like he’s fresh off the boat.
The citizens of this city could never understand his feelings. When
he first arrived, the System f.u.c.ked up and decided to make him out to be
