Chapter 284: Doll Expo (2)
The Sehee Research Institute courtyard, bathed in warm noon sunlight, bustled with researchers gathering to enjoy lunch with their mini Reapers, as usual.
The researchers chatted while examining the Triceratops golden statue that had suddenly appeared in the middle of the courtyard.
“Why is there suddenly a Triceratops golden statue here?”
One researcher asked curiously.
“Maybe Director Sehee installed it?”
Another researcher nearby proposed the most likely hypothesis.
It was a reasonable guess, as most such absurd occurrences at the institute were Sehee’s doing.
Besides, Sehee was probably the only one who could acquire such a large chunk of gold.
Just then, Sehee and Seoah slowly walked in among the researchers.
Upon seeing the Triceratops golden statue, Seoah’s expression immediately soured.
She whipped her head toward Sehee with a “surely not” expression.
Sehee shook her head with an expression full of indignation.
Though no words were heard, Sehee’s expression seemed to shout “It wasn’t me!”
But unfortunately, perhaps because Sehee lied too often normally, Seoah didn’t look particularly convinced.
Hehe.
I watched this scene from under the cozy shade created by the Triceratops’s frill.
Kyu.
Beside me were a Red Reaper and a white Hungry Ghost forcibly held by that Red Reaper.
The Red Reaper was striking a pose like an artist framing a landscape, facing the Triceratops golden statue.
For whatever incomprehensible reason, it held a pipe-shaped flame in its mouth and a flame-made chisel in its hand.
After observing the Triceratops for a while, the Red Reaper struck an excessively affected pose.
Then, with a bold motion, it thrust the chisel into the white Hungry Ghost.
Kyuhinghing!
The Red Reaper seemed to be trying to carve the white Hungry Ghost’s nape to create a Triceratops frill.
But perhaps because it used too much force, the flame-made chisel pierced straight through the white Hungry Ghost’s neck.
Ah!
As the Red Reaper panicked with an expression of having made a mistake, the white Hungry Ghost seized the opportunity to flee.
And as always, a chase began between the fleeing white Hungry Ghost and the seemingly delighted Red Reaper.
