Strangely, Theresa was not afraid of horror games with scientific elements, but if they involved ghosts or spirits, she would not even dare touch them.
Perhaps that was what made the principal so adorable.
Theresa processed the information Zhao Bai had provided, then could not resist hitting pause. The corpse's jawless face froze in the middle of the screen.
"Are you kidding me?"
She said, "Are you trying to bully me...? You actually came up with such a stupid excuse to brush me off. Do you believe I'll dock your pay?!"
"I'm not that easy to fool!"
Theresa got angry for the first time in a long while, leaving Zhao Bai torn between laughter and tears.
Everything he had said was absolutely true.
Although she was angry, Theresa did not impose any punishment. She merely told him to resolve the matter within three days, or she would withhold the counterintelligence budget, and Zhao Bai would have to cover the wages of the maid and security guard himself.
That was absolutely unacceptable!
Quantum Ghosts
Lying in bed, Zhao Bai sank into thought.
How to let Theresa know there was a Titan in the warehouse was an incredibly difficult task.
Zhao Bai knew the principal's personality well. She was timid yet stubborn, so getting her to take a look inside the warehouse herself was absolutely impossible.
Have the Titan come out on its own?
That was too dangerous. It was clearly the product of a quantumization experiment, an assassin weapon—the legendary Titan Daddy. Even without a weapons system, it could tear him apart with those Titan Overlord Fists alone. And Zhao Bai could not possibly imagine that pile of metal lumps as ingredients.
Difficult. The most difficult problem in history.
Amid endless hesitation, Zhao Bai suffered from insomnia for the first time.
Sleep had an enormous impact on one's sense of taste. As a responsible chef, he would never permit such an indulgent lifestyle. Even if he could only take a short nap, he had to ensure as much rest as possible.
But this time was different. Until four in the morning, when the morning mist began to rise, Zhao Bai could not close his eyes.
In a daze, a red-haired girl appeared before him.
White stockings, glasses, twin ponytails, mechanical arms.
There were too many appealing elements for anyone not to like her.
The girl wore a ferocious expression as she floated at the ceiling, her body semi-transparent like a projection, existing independently outside the space-time of reality.
The moment she appeared, Zhao Bai gave up on the idea of calling Theresa over.
With the red-haired girl floating about like that, the principal would definitely mistake her for a ghost and faint from fright. Besides dealing with the mysterious quantum ghost, Zhao Bai would also have to look after the unconscious, defenseless Theresa, cutting his combat strength in half.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Bai asked, but the red-haired girl did not answer. She merely examined him on her own.
The girl said, "Your weapon can directly affect quantum weapons and pull them back into the real world for a short time. All the research we worked so hard on for years was actually inferior to a weapon casually drawn by a chef?"
Zhao Bai read anger and disbelief on her face.
