Chapter 138: The Glittering Golden Hour (3)
Cecily and Hina stealthily followed the researchers who had captured the butterflies into the facility.Since the facility was also where they had often visited to create Molumolu, sneaking in wasn't difficult.However, the underground laboratory now felt significantly different from when they were creating the artificial demon Molumolu.
━Grrrrrr, Kongkong!━Gaaaargh-!
Ferocious wolves with sharp teeth, massive crocodiles, and horrific bird-like creatures snarled behind their cages, their eyes bloodshot with fury.They appeared ready to tear through the bars and viciously bite into the necks of people.
Not only such creatures, but the laboratory was also filled with poisonous substances marked with skull symbols everywhere.How could the lab that made the plush Molumolu change so drastically in just a few days?
"Look, Hina. There are tons of butterflies captured!"
Cecily pointed to a large container hidden behind a massive desk.
Just as Cecily had said, butterflies were trapped inside the transparent glass, easily numbering over a thousand.
What could they possibly want to do with all these butterflies?Filled with curiosity, Cecily surveyed her surroundings more closely.Soon, researchers wearing beak-shaped gas masks appeared from somewhere and began murmuring to each other as they looked at the butterflies in the container.
"We've caught quite a lot. How many?""1,227, sir.""That's impressive. A large number indeed.""We've captured most of the ones flying around Freesia by now. I wonder where all these butterflies came from?""That's not what's important right now. It's what we can do with these butterflies. They're each a bundle of energy. With this amount... we could power all of Freesia's facilities for a year."
