Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

Continuing to walk forward, there is a moldy staircase, and the further you go in, the dimmer the light becomes, and a feeling like stepping into a haunted house begins to pervade the hearts of the two of them.

At the beginning, Tina was just being led away by Mei, but later, she simply stuck to Mei's body, and kept looking around, Mei even felt that her palms began to sweat.

Obviously, even with a very strong individual combat ability, Tina is still afraid of ghosts like a normal child!

In this case, speaking rashly will only scare her more.

Mei understood this, so she just held her hand tightly and passed her warmth to her, silently comforting her in this way.

"Da da……"

Finally, when Mei first stepped on the green ceramic floor tiles, the sound of footsteps began to echo in the basement.

"It's here, Tina, don't be afraid, there is still me."

"……Um!"

Afterwards, the two walked through the open door hand in hand, and stepped into the dark room.

"Senior Muroto, Mei has come to visit you as scheduled..."

As soon as the words fell, she was so surprised by the scene in front of her that she was speechless.

On the messy floor, all kinds of sundries are piled up randomly; above the head, the exposed light bulbs flicker slowly, and the dim light that emanates sets off all this as quiet and terrifying as a mortuary;

There is a whole set of horror movies with bloody covers on the table, unknown creatures soaked in formalin are placed on the shelf, various complicated formulas are written on the blackboard on the side, and there are big handles on the left and right walls the drawer...

No!That's a body storage locker!

This really is a morgue!

Is this really a place where people can live?Even the morgue doesn't have so many curious things! ?

And the owner of this basement was sitting next to the laboratory bench with his back to them, as if he didn't hear footsteps.

"Senior Muroto?" Mei called out tentatively while leading Tina slowly over.

result……

When they approached, the long-haired figure in a white coat suddenly fell to the ground.

Mei and the others looked down, and it turned out that it was - a skeleton!

"Ah!" Immediately, Tina's eyes opened wide, and she let out a lovely scream, and then immediately threw herself into Mei's arms, and buried her head deeply in her abdomen.

"Hahahaha..." Immediately afterwards, a certain Yujie who had succeeded in a prank laughed and walked out from behind the test bench with the white curtain open.

"Senior Muroto, you're scaring Tina, this prank is not funny either," Mei said helplessly, looking at the Heisi Yujie who was laughing disregarding her image.

"It didn't scare you, it's not a big problem." Sumire Muroto waved her hand in response, showing no sign of guilt.

"Senior Muroto, you..."

"And who told you to take away my important observation object quietly? This is a kind of 'reciprocity'. As the eldest lady of the thunder and lightning family, you can't even take this joke?"

"Are you talking about Mayfair? I didn't take it away, but she herself..."

"Well, the result is the same, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she sat on the laboratory bench with her legs crossed, looking like a rascal.

Seeing this, Mei couldn't do anything, after all, she had something to ask for.What's more, she understands that the other party is not that kind of arrogant person, but just playful.

There is a saying called "great wisdom is like a fool", and the child-like disposition of the other party is the best embodiment of it.

"Okay, Muroto-senpai, I apologize to you about Mayfair, but today I have other matters that need your help."

"Let's talk, but I'm not a philanthropist. Equivalent exchange is the most reasonable thing in this world, so we'll follow it."

"Well, this junior has already guessed this point." After Mei nodded, she patted the head of the girl in her arms.

"Tina, quickly say hello to Senior Muroto, Tina, Tina?"

no response.

Just when Mei wondered if she fell asleep again, the platinum-haired girl left her embrace, her face full of intoxication.

"Sister Mei, I smell my mother's scent on you... so warm, so reassuring..."

Hearing this, Mei was stunned for a while, then her face trembled, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Tina, I'm glad you said that, but... I'm still underage, mother or something, it's too..."

"Pfft! Wahahaha" Seeing Mei's embarrassing appearance, Sumire Muroto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Being regarded as a "mother" by a little girl as young as ten years old...

This is destined to become Mei's dark history.

Chapter 100 Chapter 97 The Conversation in the Basement

"Dr. Muroto, I'm Tina Sprunt. I heard about you from the professor."

After the episode, the basement began to enter the main topic.

"professor?"

Since Shengtianzi did not tell about Tina's assassination, almost no one in Tokyo knows Tina's identity, even "Japan's strongest mind" Muroto Sumire is no exception.

In this regard, Mei personally explained:

"Senior Muroto, it's your former colleague, Professor Ayn Rand. Tina is a reformed soldier of the US NEXT program, and your colleague will personally perform the surgery."

"What, what?!" Hearing this, Sumire Muroto could no longer maintain her composure.

Seeing this, Mei, who was used to seeing her nihilistic appearance, felt a little strange instead.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe Muroto-senpai? Tina, let's demonstrate."

"I understand, sister Mei."

After Tina nodded, she took out a small white ball from the pocket of her dress jacket.

【Sinfield】.

Tina's "another pair of eyes", a [thought-driven interface] that can move autonomously.

"Ding ding ding..."

With the strange starting sound, the white sphere suddenly deformed in front of several people, and flew up with a "sizzling" sound.

"This, this is Seinfield? Anna's trump card?" Seeing the sphere flying and turning in mid-air according to Tina's thoughts, Muroto Sumire looked dazed and muttered to herself.

"Senior Muroto, you really know." Regarding this, Mei showed a "so sure" expression.

However, what made her feel strange again was the subsequent emotional change of Muroto Sumire.

"Of course I know……"

The voice gradually became quieter, and Sumire Muroto, who had always been heartless and sloppy, lowered her head, clenched her hands into fists, and her knuckles turned white.

Seeing her like this, Mei and Tina looked at each other, showing puzzled expressions.

"What's wrong with you..."

"Ann!!" Facing the gaze of the two of them, Muroto Sumire suddenly raised her head, and roared angrily, "Damn it! You have fallen to such a level! Ayn Rand!!!"

"..." This time, the two people who were standing or sitting opposite each other were even more dazed.

After being silent for a while, Muroto Sumire leaned on the experimental table in self-resignation, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a wry smile with a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh, that guy, I didn't like him at the beginning, but now...hehe, it's expected."

"Senior Muroto, why are you so angry?"

Seeing Mei's puzzled look, Sumire Muroto straightened up again, expressionless.

"I should have told you before? We [Four Sages] are not only scientists, but also doctors."

"Well, you did say something like that before."

"As for Anna, it's obvious that even the minimum conscience of being a doctor has been sold to the devil! How can I not be angry?! The four of us made an oath together!!!"

"..."

Seeing Mei's silent appearance, Sumire Muroto continued:

"Have you ever seen a cursed child get sick? Have you ever seen a doctor send a healthy person into the operating room to be rehabilitated? That guy is no longer a doctor! He's a madman! A complete madman! Scum! Human scum! Rubbish!"

Hearing this, Mei looked at the silent Tina, thoughtful.

"I understand. A doctor is a sacred profession to save lives and heal the wounded. However, Professor Ayn Rand violated his duty as a doctor and the oath you made at the beginning, and sent a healthy cursed child like Tina to the laboratory for transformation , so you are angry."

"Well, that's probably what it means. But if you think about it carefully, I don't have the right to scold that guy. After all, I did something similar myself. The only difference is that I did it with the consent of the person involved. surgical."

Sumire Muroto raised Erlang's legs again, and the whole person changed back again.

However, seeing her indifferent look, Mei smiled.

"Sure enough, this junior is not mistaken, Muroto-senpai is really a good person~"

"Tch! How could you say such naive words? Come on, what are you going to ask me to do?" Muroto Sumire waved her hand with a look of impatience.

Seeing this, Mei also restrained her smile, and her face gradually became serious.

"That's how it is. Since you have worked with Professor Ayn Rand for a while, Muroto-senpai, you must have a certain understanding of [Sinfield], right?"

"Tina was originally sent by Professor Ayn Rand to carry out a mission, but she was stopped and rescued by the juniors, which made her out of the professor's control and regained her personal freedom. In the future, she plans to contribute herself to His Royal Highness and the Tokyo District the power of……"

Before Mei continued to speak, Sumire Muroto seemed to have guessed something, and interrupted:

"You want me to help her repair and maintain [Sinfield], right? That's no problem. I have no reason not to do what Anna can do."

Hearing this, Mei smiled again.

"That's great! Also, Mr. Muroto, regarding the chip implanted in Tina's brain, do you think it will become a time bomb? If Professor Ayn Rand has a way to control the chip, then Tina will Will there be any danger?"

Tina is really similar to Bronya.

When asking this question, Mei always thinks of the latter involuntarily.

As for the fact that the chip implanted in the brain controls her actions at critical moments, she has seen it with Bronya herself, so she is so concerned.

If there is such a possibility of the chip in Tina's head, Mei intends to find a way to remove it no matter what, and never let what happened to Bronya before happen again!

however……

This world is still very different from the collapsed world.

"You think too much." Faced with Mei's question, Sumire Muroto slowly shook her head.

"The current technology has not yet developed to that level, the chip that can control the mind... Heh, I don't think that guy Anna can do it, you don't need to worry at all. The neuro-like chip in her head is only used to control [the fairy] Field] is already very difficult, and it is impossible to carry other modules.”

"Huh..." After getting the answer, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, then exchanged glances with Tina and laughed.

"Tina, you don't have to worry about this!"

"Yeah! Sister Mei, I heard it."

Seeing this scene, although Muroto Sumire remained expressionless, the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her innermost feelings.

Then, she put her fist in front of her mouth and pretended to cough twice to break the atmosphere.

"Ahem! Then, should we talk about remuneration? I can repair and maintain [Sinfield] for her, and I can also pay for the materials myself. After all, I am not short of money, but I am just too lazy to go out."

Hearing this, Mei also calmed down again.

"Then, what do you want, Muroto-senpai?"

As if expecting this answer, Muroto Sumire stepped down from the laboratory table, took out a bunch of keys from the computer drawer, solemnly opened the safe under the table, and...

A small box was taken out—no, to be precise, it was a culture tank.

One of the small white fruit cores was quietly lying in the light green culture fluid, and it didn't look like anything special.

"This is?" Mei seemed to understand something.

Facing Mei's question, Sumire Muroto didn't say anything, just took the box and walked to the gate, looked around first, and closed the door after finding no one there.

Seeing her cautious look, Tina also seemed to sense something, and quietly acted as a background board beside her.

"When Rentaro was hospitalized last time, you gave me the white fruit, right?" Muroto Sumire asked as she walked over, with a rare serious expression on her face.

"Well, I gave it to you." In response, Mei nodded.
