Chapter 1865 Hey, did you hear? Two scientists landed themselves in the hospital while doing researc

"Advisor, what's that thing you're holding?"

When Higashi Kotaro saw the strangely shaped pot in Gu Chen's hand, he immediately frowned and asked curiously.

"It looks really strange, and it's quite dirty too."

Like Higashi Kotaro, Shiratori Saori leaned her head close to the pot, staring with wide eyes, and asked curiously.

"This is the legendary magic pot that seals the magic pot spirit, Makin."

Looking at the two curious children in front of him, Higashi Kotaro and Shiratori Saori, Gu Chen raised the pot in his hand and explained.

"Magic pot?"

Kotaro Higashi and Saori Shiratori tilted their heads at the same time and said in unison.

Beside them, Akiko Go, upon hearing Gu Chen's words, also wore a strange expression and said, "Magic Pot Elf Makin? Isn't that a character from a children's picture book?"

Upon hearing this, Hideki Go recalled the time when Go was a child, and he and Akiko Go took turns telling Go bedtime stories to lull her to sleep.

Among the bedtime stories they told was one about the magic pot spirit, Makin.

"Yes, but to be more precise, the magic pot spirit Makin sealed in this pot is the prototype of the magic pot spirit Makin in all the children's picture books on the market. The publishers also created those children's stories based on the legend of the magic pot spirit Makin."

Gu Chen nodded and said.

"So...we can summon Makin and have him grant our wish?"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Kenichi's eyes lit up as he looked at the magic pot in Gu Chen's hand, as if he couldn't wait to snatch it from Gu Chen's grasp.

"Kenichi, that won't do!"

However, before Shiratori Kenichi could put his idea into practice, Shiratori Saori had already punched him on the head, forcibly dispelling the unrealistic idea in his mind.

"It hurts... That was so violent. I don't know how Kotaro-nii-san fell for you."

Kenichi Shiratori, who had been punched by Saori Shiratori, immediately covered his head and then angrily started arguing with her.

"What?! Kenichi, don't run! Today I'm going to show you what it means to be an elder sister like a mother! Kotaro, don't stop me!"

As expected, upon hearing Kenichi Shiratori's words, Saori Shiratori immediately went berserk and chased after him, determined to teach him a lesson.

Kenichi Shiratori, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and immediately started circling around the group.

It's so lively with everyone chasing each other.

"As for this, I've decided to keep it sealed in the Earth Defense Force's warehouse for safekeeping."

Gu Chen smiled as he watched the Shiratori siblings playfully fighting, and Higashi Kotaro trying to break them up. Then he explained his solution for dealing with the magic pot to everyone.

No one had any objections to this. Although Xiang Hui was very disappointed that she had not been able to witness the power of the magic pot, she did not cry and make a fuss about seeing the magic pot spirit, Majin.

Soon, following Gu Chen's notification, the UGM team members who arrived at the ski resort took the Magic Bottle back to headquarters for safekeeping.

After this little incident, Gu Chen and the others spent a whole day enjoying the ski resort, then took a relaxing hot bath and sauna at the hotel, completely unwinding.

In contrast to Gu Chen and the others who were relaxing, Kaji Yoichi and the others from the UGM headquarters' science department felt extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

……

"Kaji, you're really something. I never thought you actually figured it out."

Dr. Aoyama slumped back in his chair, his weary gaze falling on a special machine on the lab table. He then let out a sigh of admiration at Yoichi Kaji beside him.

Although it was meant as praise, Dr. Aoyama's tone didn't convey any real admiration, and there was no sign of anger in his voice.

"I didn't expect this either..."

Yoichi Kaji, standing to the side, was in the same state as Dr. Aoyama, equally listless and lifeless, as if the machine in front of him had drained all his energy and spirit.

After he finished speaking, the laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

Logically, after the experiment was successful, Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama, as the experimenters, should have been excited and happy. However, in reality, the two of them looked completely listless and had no joy at all.

After a long silence, Yoichi Kaji's voice rang out again: "The anticipated side effects have occurred, and their severity seems to exceed our initial expectations."

Dr. Aoyama did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Judging from his appearance, he didn't even seem to want to nod. However, he knew that his current state was not normal, so he forced himself to give a response to Kaji Yoichi's words.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Kaji Yoichi sighed heavily, forced himself to stand up from his seat with willpower, then walked to the laboratory door and slowly pressed a button next to the door.

Immediately, a rapid alarm sounded at the experimental center, and the medical department also received an emergency rescue order.

After doing all this, Kaji Yoichi did not return to his seat. Instead, he sat down on the floor, leaned against the wall by the laboratory door, and lowered his head without saying a word.

As for Dr. Aoyama, he remained completely still throughout, as if he had become withdrawn and did not want to interact with the outside world.

Soon, the laboratory door was opened from the outside, and Dr. Iwamoto, Mitsuhiro Itsuki, and a group of medical staff rushed in.

"Kaji! What happened?! Why did you press the emergency button?"

When Mitsuhiro Ichika rushed into the laboratory, he saw Yoichi Kaji sitting on the ground. He immediately squatted down anxiously, grabbed Yoichi Kaji's shoulders with both hands, and asked loudly with concern.

However, when faced with Mitsuhiro Ichika's concerned questions, Yoichi Kaji simply looked at Mitsuhiro Ichika quietly, without saying a word, just staring at Yoichi Kaji silently.

"Dr. Aoyama? Dr. Aoyama?!"

On the other side, Dr. Iwamoto also came to Dr. Aoyama and called out to him several times, but did not receive the slightest response from Dr. Aoyama.

"Doctor, quick!"

Upon seeing this, Mitsuhiro Ichika immediately realized that Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama were in trouble, and his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted to the medical staff.

Before long, Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama were lifted onto hospital beds by medical staff and rushed to the medical department for examination.

Although neither Yoichi Kaji nor Dr. Aoyama appeared to have any external injuries, their reactions were extremely unusual.

"What exactly happened?"

At this moment, Mitsuhiro Ichika's expression became unusually serious. He watched the medical staff leave with Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama, and then turned his gaze to the unidentified machine on the experimental table.

His intuition told him that it was that machine that had turned Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama into what they were now.
