Einstein

Start

Himeko

*coughs* This is strange — why would there be more dust as we go deeper? It was clean at the entrance… *coughs*

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Hang on — look, mysterious footprints again.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Oh, yeah, and they look like the ones we saw at the entrance. Probably the same person.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

And that person went ahead. Let's follow the footprints.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Oof, he/she was just wandering randomly from one room to another. Uh, the footprints ended here.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

That person must've entered this door. The electronic lock has been broken… probably on purpose.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Be careful. This can't be good.

🔇 N/A

Himeko took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

🔇 N/A

The roar of machinery hurt the two girls' ears. Mechanical arms were busy carrying and moving crates with scarlet warning signs.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Those are warning signs for explosives!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Who'd have thought this regular plant would be hiding such dangerous stuff…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Miss Himeko, I'm afraid this is not a regular plant.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua pulled off a sticky note that was attached to a barrel and read ——

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

"6% KCIO3, 65% KNO3, 25% sulfur powder, 4% carbon powder"

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

"Experimental data suggests adding a certain amount of red phosphorus improves the performance."

🔇 N/A

Himeko

These look like experimental notes…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

There's a strong gunpowder smell in the air. This production line must've been running for quite a while.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

And that thing shaped like a red bunny is definitely a bomb! Who is making such dangerous stuff here?!

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Watch out! There's a robot coming at us!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

But there's nowhere to hide… Ah, come here, Hua! I found a huge cardboard box! We can hide in… Hmm?

🔇 N/A

A head with unruly blue hair popped up the moment Himeko opened the cardboard box.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Well, hello there.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

You are… Einstein from Anti-Entropy?! What are you doing in this box?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

It's a long story. But I don't think now is a good time for me to elaborate. Look out, behind you, Miss Murata.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Huh?

🔇 N/A

But it was too late — the giant robot behind Himeko already raised its iron arm.

🔇 N/A

Machine Voice

Initiate spring-cleaning! Initiate spring-cleaning! Initiate…

🔇 N/A

The giant robot suddenly started to scream in a mechanical voice.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Spring-cleaning?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

This big boy is going to clean up this place by eliminating foreign matter.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Wait a minute… Does "foreign matter" mean…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Hoy!

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua threw a fast punch at the robot. To her surprise, it parried her attack almost in advance.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Ah… This robot is much stronger than the ones we met before. You girls run! I'll hold it off!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Running away is not an option for anyone at the moment…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

!

🔇 N/A

Countless mecha guards swarmed in and surrounded the three girls.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

When did they get here?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

The big one in front of you has been summoning nearby mecha guards. More are coming.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Oh, no… We're so screwed…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Don't worry, ladies. I came prepared — let me see… Uh, here it is.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Wait, is that a gun in your hand? This place is full of explosives. Isn't it too dangerous to use firearms here?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Which is why I've been avoiding confrontation. But now I have no other choice. Please keep your distance from me, ladies.

🔇 N/A

Einstein pulled the trigger after a deep breath, but only a dried flower came out of the muzzle.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

…

🔇 N/A

Himeko

…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Er, excuse me. I grabbed the wrong one. But in my defence, they look very alike…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Uh, should be this one.

🔇 N/A

BAM!

🔇 N/A

Flames were shot from Einstein's gun. The mecha guards all scattered hurriedly.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Now we can leave, ladies.

Einstein

Himeko

Phew. We shook them off, right?

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Yeah. We're safe for now.

🔇 N/A

BOOM!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

What was that?!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Possibly explosions in the assembly chamber. But you can rest assured that we are safe here — this plant has fireproof doors and fire extinguishing systems everywhere.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Good. Hua, you grab her left arm. Don't let her get away.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Huh? What are you doing…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua and Himeko each clasped Einstein's one arm and pinned her against the wall.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Tell us, what is Anti-Entropy plotting and making here?

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

And Anti-Entropy has something to do with all the strange things happened on this island, no?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

There must be some misunderstanding, ladies.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I am ignorant of the events taking place on this island. Frankly, I was shocked to see you two here.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

l was absolutely unaware of your presence. In fact, I only recently arrived on this island myself.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I thought Dr. Tesla and l were the only two people here. And at the moment, she must be fully engaged in work to catch the deadline, and would have no time for any conspiracy.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Work? Deadline?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

This place is a temporary plant rented by Anti-Entropy. And the story began on an unpeaceful night a month ago.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

That night, Dr. Tesla's lab had another explosion.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

She then burst into my room, and raved about a brilliant idea she just had, whereby she only needed a plant to pay off E.T. Studio's debts.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Wait a minute, what was that explosion about?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

That was not an important part of the story. All you need to know about it is that the Lobster was overcooked.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Anyway, after careful selecting and comparing, Dr. Tesla finally picked her dream plant — the rent was surprisingly low, with free round-trip tickets.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Afterward… Urn, what's wrong? The look on your faces seem to be saying "I've heard of this story before"...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Theresa…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Don't mind us. We just had some similar experience. Please continue.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Alright… Later, as the repayment date drew nearer, Dr. Tesla suddenly went missing one day.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Thankfully, I was prepared for this — I embedded a tiny transmitter in her glove earlier, so I can now track her down with this locator.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

But I encountered those intimidating mecha guards and wasted a lot of time hiding from them.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Then do you know anything about those explosives in the assembly chamber?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I wish I knew. Dr. Tesla refused to tell anyone about her product because she wanted to "debut it and impress the world".

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I've shared everything I know. Now can you release my arms?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Alright… We believe you.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua and Himeko let go of Einstein and explained their side of the story to her.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

That was what happened to us. We apologize for what we just did to you, Dr. Einstein.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

It's alright. I understand — you were worried about your fnends.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I have an idea — Dr. Tesla should have a broadcasting device at her place. If you help me find her, you can use it to contact them. Oh, and l have these for you…

🔇 N/A

Einstein reached her arm to her backpack, pulled out a gigantic bag and thumped it down on the ground.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

There will be more mecha guards ahead. Here are some weapons I found here, you can pick whichever you like.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Wha… Why would there be so many weapons in this plant? And with such ridiculous names?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I assume Dr. Tesla made quite a few toys for herself here.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

They don't look very safe…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I know… But they'll come in handy when we encounter enemies. I recommend this Swoosh & Boom to you, Miss Murata. It seems to suit you.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Uh… Okay.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

And for Miss Fu Hua, I recommend this Ruyi Scratcher, or Celestial Likey, or Firmament Plunger. They seem to suit people with mastery of Shenzhou martial arts.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

No thanks. I'm okay.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Are you sure? This Celestial Likey seems to be a perfect weapon for you…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Thank you for offering, Dr. Einstein. But I'm used to fighting with my bare hands.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Alright then. Now that we are all well-equipped, let's get going.

🔇 N/A
