Chapter 021

"Another room that's much uglier than this one." Just as Devitt spoke, accompanied by the sound of a door opening, Cook entered with a group of people. He glanced at the three inside and smiled faintly. Finally, his gaze landed on Professor Lin. "Professor Lin, I'm here to get your previous speculative report. Today is the last day, don't mention anything about your decades of senior researcher status if you miss the deadline."

"Cook!" Archie, already uncomfortable, couldn't help but clench his fist upon hearing this. "How can you talk like that?"

Professor Lin, in his nineties, dedicated over sixty years to scientific research. Many researchers, including frontline military doctors like him, were once his students. Archie, being a student, knew what kind of person Professor Lin was - a dedicated researcher on the frontline of science. Professor Lin remained unmarried and childless, devoting his life to countless breakthroughs in pathology for the empire. However, when it came to wielding power, he likely couldn't match Cook with just a single finger. So, Archie couldn't help but wonder how much injustice Professor Lin had faced in the hands of those who only cared about power when he wasn't present.

"Ah, what do you mean by how I talk? I'm just worried that Professor Lin might not remember well, so I came to remind him in person. Isn't that considerate?" Cook looked inexplicably at Archie and continued, "Besides, you better clarify, these two rooms were ultimately secured by me for Professor Lin. Why are you throwing a fit here without knowing the details?"

Archie was choked by Cook's unyielding attitude. "I-"

"Enough, don't argue here. This is not the place for your quarrel," Professor Lin waved his hand. "I've already written the report; you'll receive it later. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

After saying this, Professor Lin looked back somewhat worriedly at the creatures. Many of them were sensitive to disturbances due to neural toxins, and even a slight impact could trigger strong reactions. Their wounds were often self-inflicted in response to stimuli.

As expected, Cook's loud speech had already agitated many creatures. Professor Lin frowned, and at this moment, Cook continued to talk in his ear, "Professor Lin, how could I have nothing to do? We've encountered a marshal. We've known each other for over a decade, you know."

Before Cook could finish his sentence, Devitt, who had been looking strange since earlier, and Archie, whose expression had also become odd, noticed that Cook's voice had lowered. Meanwhile, the creatures behind them continued to be restless, and Professor Lin, who noticed the situation, was momentarily stunned.

"Cook?" Professor Lin turned his head, his gaze moving strangely among the group that came in with Cook, finally returning to Cook. "Did you spray perfume?"

Wen Jin, witnessing this, saw Cook's face distort slightly when Professor Lin asked this question. He quickly buried his small face in Devitt's arms, secretly smiling mischievously.

He probably did spray it. The little spell didn't consume much of his energy, but it could produce an extremely foul odor. He used to use this trick to tease those insensitive human beings. Don't underestimate this smell; it could last for more than a week or even half a month.

The fragrance used by human beings on the mainland of the wilderness was generally milder, so it usually worked with just one use. He didn't expect the people in this world to create such a strong fragrance, but what was the use of it? It still couldn't escape the fact that it smelled bad wherever it went.

But this smell... indeed seemed a bit stimulating.

Being extremely frugal, Wen Jin didn't use magic again. Instead, he buried his little nose deeply into the folds of Devitt's arms, relying on the faint fragrance on the latter to free his nose, while his gaze couldn't help but wander around, full of doubt.
