Chapter 258
"Could it be... Masaka?!"
"Is she having an affair with the doctor?"
Wendy felt like she had discovered something incredible, and her mind started racing with all sorts of wild imaginings.
Just then, she suddenly smelled a strange, foul odor.
"Ahhh!" Wendy immediately covered her nose.
"This... feels like it drifted out of the doctor's lab."
"Could it be... could it be that evil, eternally spinster doctor?"
"What kind of inhumane experiments are they conducting now?!"
"Wendy, who values justice, will absolutely not allow it!"
"I want to go check it out!"
"What happened!"
Chapter 280 Let me see!
Doctor Mei's laboratory.
There's a reason why Wendy calls MEI's lab "Evil Doctor's Lab."
While steampunk and cyberpunk styles are popular online and in some games, what happens when these styles are applied directly to reality?
It's not certain that many people will like this.
The reason is simple.
Because it's unsafe!
Even in the steam age, steam doesn't just appear out of nowhere. High-temperature steam poses serious health risks.
A light burn can cause scalding, while a severe burn can kill a person.
The kind of thing where steam seems to rise from nowhere, the parts whine and vibrate, and the components aren't tightly connected. This scenario means you might face parts flying out of nowhere, steam billowing out, or even explosions caused by excessive pressure in certain areas.
No one would enjoy working in this kind of environment.
Similarly, you see protruding wires, an open chassis cover, strange tools whose purpose you don't know, and piles of uncommented code.
How many people would be willing to work with someone like that?
Therefore, a comment made by a certain expert from the Strategic Deception Bureau about airplanes also applies here.
"Isn't this lab beautiful? Beautiful?! Then it's a good lab."
These kinds of labs, which are unsightly but functional, and seem designed for only one person, often have a rather negative impact.
Isn't that what the villain's lab in the movie, the stereotypical villain's lab, looks like?
The equipment was of unknown purpose, the code was incomprehensible with no comments or only 0s and 1s, the lighting was dim, and the wiring was so messy that it would make any PC builder scratch their head.
If it weren't for Wendy's strange, slightly subtle scent!
She would never want to come to a place like this!
It felt like stepping on a landmine; I had to be extremely careful with every step.
To avoid accidentally stepping on or crushing anything, which would be bad!
Wendy cautiously followed the scent she could smell, groping her way little by little until she reached a small door.
A small door.
The small, beige wooden door, with a touch of Japanese style, looks extremely ordinary.
"Huh?!" Wendy said in surprise, "This... this kind of thing actually exists in the Evil Doctor's laboratory?"
"Could there be some secret hidden here?"
It feels like there's some secret being hidden here!
It's like...
It's like...
Um...
'The Goddess's private garden?'
Suddenly, an idea popped into Wendy's mind: the Goddess's private garden. A place you finally arrive at after overcoming countless obstacles, crossing mountains and valleys, and passing through numerous checkpoints.
It's like a fantasy world in a dream, full of warmth, beauty, and all sorts of wonders you can and can't imagine.
Its existence is just like this wooden door—exquisite and warm.
It felt like we were from a completely different world from this laboratory.
Wendy was really curious.
She quietly pushed open the door.
"Wow~"
Just like the Goddess's private garden that only exists in dreams, a world completely different from the laboratory was presented to Wendy.
The sound of a wind chime accompanied the opening of the door.
Ding ding ding~
It was crisp and refreshing, carrying a hint of summer heat and the coolness of a gentle breeze.
A pleasant fragrance wafts towards you.
Yes...
"It smells like pastries!"
It's a snack!
These are snacks!
Wendy swears on her honor that this smells like a truly delicious dessert. It smells so good!
Wendy stepped through the wooden door.
She even saw several butterflies fly past her face, bringing with them the fragrance of flowers and grass.
Oh!
This is a completely different place from that laboratory.
Every flower and every potted plant is placed in the perfect spot, filling this not-so-large place with a warm and natural feeling.
Wendy felt relaxed just by standing there.
"Oh~ I never imagined that Evil Doctor's lab would have a place like this!" Wendy muttered to herself, "That's true~"
"Even if the Doctor is evil, she's still a woman~"
"That's true~"
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut with a loud thud, startling Wendy. She felt as if her soul had been ripped away by the sound! But before she could fully recover, a chilling sensation pulled her back to reality.
"Oh?"
A voice.
A simple "oh" was enough to send shivers down Wendy's spine.
"You said..." the voice said calmly and displeasedly, "Who are you calling the Evil Doctor?"
Wendy felt as if she had fallen into an icebox, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, as if... no words could describe the almost desperate feeling she was experiencing!
This...
This was something that was previously discussed secretly behind someone's back.
Now the person in question has heard it directly!
This... this... this...
What should we do?
"I was talking about the maid!" Wendy immediately attributed the title to someone, saying, "I absolutely did not say anything about 'Evil Doctor' or anything like that."
"They're clearly talking about the 'evil maid'! That witch always has that smirk on her face."
"But he's actually a smiling tiger, he's definitely the kind of person who's sarcastic and unsavory."
"A wicked maid with a belly full of evil intentions."
"Is that so?" MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "In some ways, you might be right."
"Rita is indeed a rather dangerous woman."
"She is a key member of the Blade of Unending."
"And I believe it," MEI said with a wicked grin, "Wendy, you definitely don't want to know what the Blade of Unending is for, and of course you don't want to be targeted by the Blade of Unending."
"Especially that Rita."
To be honest, this was the first time MEI felt that Wendy's intuition was quite accurate.
Although Rita always appears gentle, warm-hearted, speaks softly, and is quiet and well-behaved, she is the image of an excellent maid.
But actually, that girl is quite wicked too!
Otherwise...
Otherwise, why don't you bring the Silly Goose with you?
I just wanted to have some tea and snacks with her.
"Doctor?" Seeing that the doctor didn't seem to care, Wendy immediately smiled shamelessly and asked, "Is this part of the lab as well?"
"Of course, what else did you think?" the doctor retorted.
"I built this place too."
This was obviously built by a PhD.
More accurately, it was Mamiya who created it.
However, although it was created by Mamiya, it still has all the necessary functions.
When MEI discovered that the things Mamiya made were all for show, looking good but actually unusable, while the things MEI made looked strange but were actually usable.
MEI then put into practice what she had done at the hospital.
She created the core components.
Then you can just put a shell over it.
This arrangement conveniently eliminated the awkwardness of Mamiya and MEI's DIY projects.
Although this is a little troublesome.
But it's still better than nothing, right?
"Speaking of which, how did you end up here?" MEI walked around Wendy to her tea table, poured herself a cup of milk tea, and took out a few cream puffs.
Oh, oh, oh!
Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief!
My mouth was watering uncontrollably!
This!
This... this!
This is it! This is the taste!
Dessert!
