Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

"Me?" Night Crow was surprised, "I don't have the ability to fight."

"You don't need to fight, just follow behind and eat melons." Eve explained.

"Ah?" Night Crow was even more surprised.

"Anyway, you did provide a lot of valuable information to Team 7." Eve explained, "So the branch director here decided to take you to eat melons."

"By the way, you can also help obtain some specific information, right?" Night Crow complained.

"Yes." Eve admitted frankly, not feeling embarrassed.

Night Crow thought for a moment and asked, "When will we act?"

"Tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock."

"So urgent?"

"It's better to act sooner rather than later." Eve said, "The super energy factory itself is not easy to deal with. A laboratory of such a large scale must not be on the same level as those small terminal laboratories that can be abandoned at any time. It would be bad if they get wind of something and evacuate in advance."

6 o'clock in the morning...

Wandering between sleeping in and eating melons, Night Crow hardened his heart and nodded suddenly and said, "Okay, I'll go too! If I don't get up by then, remember to take me with you."

"Okay." Eve nodded.

At this time, Lei, who didn't know when to stop "facing the wall", suddenly interrupted and said, "Can you take me with you too?"

"Of course! You are the 'party', and I originally planned to take you with me." Eve said, waving to him, "I brought some special nutrition blocks, come and try them, they are also for recipe testing, this time they are all vegetarian."

"Oh..." Lei got down from the sofa and sat down at the dining table.

Eve simply picked up the plastic basket and poured all the translucent, colorful gel blocks onto the table. Finally, she picked up a notebook and a pen and urged, "Come on, start with the ones you think are the most delicious."

Lei leaned over and sniffed the table for a while, finally picking up a piece of emerald green, unwrapped it and took a bite without much interest.

"Huh?!" He exclaimed in surprise, and then his eyes lit up and he ate the palm-sized nutrition block in two or three bites.

Eve wrote down in her notebook while thinking.

...

A table of gel-like nutrition blocks were quickly eaten by Lei.

Seeing this, Night Crow quickly asked the question he had been curious about for a long time: "So, has Lei's diet range been roughly defined?"

"Yes." Eve nodded, "Prefers food with rich vitality, regardless of meat or vegetables. In addition, it has some characteristics of plant monsters. Many of those nutrient blocks just now are actually solid plant culture media with different formulas..."

"..." Lei, who was holding the black tea, suddenly felt that the high-quality black tea in his hand was not fragrant at all.

"Puff!" Night Crow laughed unceremoniously.

Eve's eyebrows curved slightly, and a smile hung on her lips: "Don't worry, they are all specially made in the laboratory, without farmyard manure, very clean."

"..." Lei silently lowered his head and drank a sip of black tea.

——Even if that's the case, it's very strange!

Slowly swallowing the black tea in his mouth, Lei's mind suddenly floated across the figure of the "other self". He asked inexplicably: "Just now, the first green piece I ate, was it a plant culture medium?"

"Yes." Eve nodded.

"...Can you give me more?" Lei asked with a smug look.

"Of course." Eve agreed readily, "This solid plant culture medium is actually the product of an old gardening company in the other world. It is very popular with plant life... Spread them in flower pots and use them to grow flowers and vegetables."

"..." Lei's eyes were a little straight.

As if she didn't notice Lei's unnatural expression, Eve smiled and continued to talk:

"This 'Shapray Gem Green Nutrient Block' was only used for potted gardening at first. Later, a famous half-plant-like mutant publicly said that it was delicious, which unexpectedly led to a trend..."

"After that, the gardening company that produced the 'Shapray Gem Green Nutrient Block' simply established another subsidiary to specialize in the production of 'edible plant culture medium', both solid and liquid. The brand name is called 'Gem Green'. I will send you the official website link now."

"Well, I have two large boxes at home. I will send you one box later." The girl added, probably considering Lei's financial situation.

"..." Lei held the empty cup and continued to drink tea with his eyes fixed.

"Hahahahaha——"

Night Crow finally couldn't help laughing and fell down, hitting the table with his wings.
