Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 227: Biological Disaster on the Future
"That's great, isn't it?" Rowling smiled and said, "Frank will be happy that his ideas have been recognized, and he'll be happy to be able to help others. If all goes well, the world may truly be transformed by his talent."

"That sounds like a good thing..." Klein nodded, and for a moment he was full of anticipation for such a future.

This anticipation came to an abrupt end when Klein followed Rowling to the Future.

Everything that happened before his eyes was truly fantastical. The Future was covered in fruits and vegetables far larger than ordinary plants, as well as lush green vines. Klein even saw a cow running past with a giant watermelon on its head. On a deck not far away, a pile of colorful mushrooms was besieging a sea fish with legs, while a pirate with sprouts growing out of his head was arguing with something that looked like a sunflower...

"Milk is spraying, the cannon is spraying milk!"

At this moment, Klein suddenly heard someone shouting. He turned his head stiffly and saw that milky white milk was continuously flowing out of the muzzle of what should have been some extraordinary cannon.

Klein's brain completely shut down, and he was unable to process the scene before him for a moment.

He had only one thought at this moment - could these things have been made by Frank?

It wasn't just Klein whose brain stopped functioning. Bernadette, who came with Rowling, was also a little dazed as she looked at the unfamiliar Future in front of her. She even wondered for a moment if she was in some kind of illusion.

"Queen, you are here..."

It wasn't until Cattleya's slightly flustered voice rang out that Bernadette finally confirmed that this was reality. Her heart tightened, and then her eyes fell on Cattleya. She carefully looked her up and down before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing extra was found.

"What's going on?" Bernadette couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"This..." Cattleya was obviously a little embarrassed to speak. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a few seconds before saying honestly, "Frank has been very excited since he learned that someone has recognized him. He wants to do something to welcome the Queen..."

"Then we encountered the Undead King and were forced to flee, ultimately entering this sea of divine warfare. It seemed this sea contained the remaining power of the Earth Mother, which reacted strangely with Frank's experimental creations. And that's how it all ended..."

After listening to Cattleya's story, everyone fell silent.

Bernadette's expression was a little indescribable for a moment. She probably collected herself before asking, "Where is Frank?"

"Who called me?"

Frank probably heard someone calling him and poked his head out from the other side of the deck.

Several people subconsciously looked at him, and then fell silent, because Frank did not look like a normal person at this moment, his whole body turned green.

"Frank, are you okay? I remember you weren't so green three minutes ago..." Cattleya frowned and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is just a normal detoxification reaction. I already know how to expel these forces from the body..." Frank waved his hand and said.

Then, as if to prove what he said, the tips of Frank's fingers suddenly bulged, and the bulge quickly expanded to the size of a mushroom. As the "mushroom" appeared, the green color on Frank's body faded.

A dagger then appeared in Frank's hand. He ruthlessly cut off the mushroom from the bottom and then sealed it with a glass bottle.

Yes, Guan, because this mushroom is alive, it even pops and pops in the glass bottle.

"Okay! Captain, I've done it. Now I'll go and take care of everyone!" Frank said with a hearty smile.

Facing this scene, Cattleya: ...

Klein: ...

Bernadette: ...After a few seconds of silence, Cattleya nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, go and take care of them."

Frank then left happily.

After he left, Klein suddenly turned his head to look at Rowling, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It's not that Klein can't accept some crazy ideas, but everything on the Future is beyond his expectations, which makes Klein inevitably have some concerns - is it really reliable to entrust the future of mankind to Frank?

There were two other people who had similar ideas as him.

In contrast, Luo Lin was much calmer. After his initial surprise, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, the worst that can happen is World Mushroom Day. It's okay."

Klein: ...

How could it be okay!
And what is World Mushroom Day? Don’t make puns or jokes at this time!

Klein felt like he finally understood where Jack's habit of using puns and jokes came from. It might not be something ingrained in their DNA.

By the way, do great beings also use puns?
Klein's thoughts wandered for a moment.

"Ahem..." Cattleya coughed at this time. Although she was also a little worried about the future of the world, as the captain of the Future, Cattleya felt that she needed to clear the name of her crew, at least not appear too unreliable in front of the Queen.

So Cattleya said, "It was just an accident. Normally... uh, Frank isn't usually this exaggerated, really, haha." At the end of her words, Cattleya felt a little unconfident and laughed dryly twice.

"So you're just not this exaggerated normally?" Bernadette obviously grasped the point.

Cattleya suddenly stopped talking and hesitated for a long time before she looked at Bernadette cautiously, then at Luo Lin, and finally back at Bernadette and said, "Queen, I thought you knew."

Bernadette: ...

No, she doesn't know.

"I do know something about this." Rowling said with a smile at this time.

Klein didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, let's solve the problem of the Future first, and talk about other things later." Bernadette wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't continue the previous topic, she just said.

"Okay!" Cattleya nodded immediately.

"Then I'll go and solve the problem of the Future?" Bernadette turned her head to ask for Rowling's opinion.

"Go ahead, I can help too." Luo Lin nodded with a smile.

Klein was naturally prepared to help.

With the addition of these three people, the problem of the Future was quickly solved, and the three of them, Cattleya, and Frank reunited.

"So you are the gentleman who admires me very much and wants to invite me to join the laboratory?" Frank said excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at Rowling.

"Yes, it's me." Luo Lin nodded, looked at Frank with a smile, and said, "You can first listen to the purpose of my establishment of the laboratory, and then decide whether to join."
