— Being able to treat others as if they don't exist is truly a talent.
"I'll only dare to drink it if I see you drink it."
Black Tower sneered.
Estella was immediately embarrassed.
Even though Ruan Mei took on so much of the blame, Hei Ta is still so sure he did it too?
Why should I?!
"I really didn't drug you."
Aistar didn't seem too guilty about what she said, and then drank the water in her glass in one gulp. "Ms. Ruan Mei, why don't you also testify for Ms. Black Tower? So that Ms. Black Tower won't be so wary all the time."
"..."
Ruan Mei silently drank the water in front of her.
She still needs to find Liu Bai, and doesn't have time right now...
"—!"
As soon as the water entered her throat, Ruan Mei immediately realized the problem.
Here...
Did she fall into this water when she went to get water?
"When?"
"Just as I went to get water."
Seeing Ruan Mei's gloomy expression, Hei Ta smiled with pleasure. "Yesterday's pastry powder—how was it? Not bad, right?"
"Yesterday's pastry powder—!?"
Estella immediately gave a look of unease.
"—Did you add the Love Potion?"
Ruan Mei immediately turned around and questioned Aista.
"Um...this..."
Estelle's gaze wandered.
She had already begun to feel Liu Bai growing in her mind.
Ruan Mei fell silent for a moment.
"So, Black Tower, the water you drink is different from ours?"
"Of course it's different."
Black Tower picked up the water that Estella had given him.
"But even if it's the same, so what?"
Black Tower calmly finished drinking the water beside him.
"That body is nothing but a puppet."
The Great Black Tower walked gracefully through the door, looking down at the two of them with the air of a victor.
How does it feel to reap what you sow?
However... when Ruan Mei saw the Black Tower appear in person, a strange smile appeared on her face.
"A doll?"
"of course."
Black Tower sat calmly next to the offline doll.
"Your medicine can't be administered through a doll..."
(Liu Bai? Wait, why did I suddenly think of him?)
Black Tower suddenly felt that his brain was a little out of control.
"Black Tower, you... are still so forgetful."
Ruan Mei's strange smile deepened.
"Just like your space station has a lot of abandoned dolls that are not being maintained."
"Eh?"
As Estelle heard this line, she barely managed to suppress the urge to count how many times Liu Bai popped into her mind, and with her last bit of rationality, she uttered a voice of support.
Why do I feel like you two are playing with something really profound?
"What do you mean?"
Black Tower's expression suddenly turned gloomy, just like Ruan Mei's earlier expression.
She tried to "strangle" Liu Bai from her mind, but it was no use at all.
I have this... urge to snuggle up in Liu Bai's arms and act cute.
This is absolutely not the kind of thinking she should have!
"You know my research, right... This is probably the first time I've used my research findings directly on a genius."
"..."
Research findings?
What research findings?
Is it... the bountiful region where Nguyen Mai came from?
Or is it related to breeding in subsequent research?
“I gave your doll a ‘fake life’ so that it can suffer from abnormal states just like a normal life.”
"I clearly switched bodies—"
"Do you really think the Elixir of Love is a 'medicine' in the common sense? No... that only seems to be... to be more precise, the Elixir of Love is actually a black box called a 'medicine,' and in most cases it is no different from a medicine in the common sense, but... its essence is ultimately different."
Ruan Mei's tone unusually carried a hint of mockery.
“I know how to do it, but I don’t really understand the principle behind it. You’ve felt it too, haven’t you? The love potion that Estádio gave you has already taken effect on you—because the person called Black Tower did indeed drink the potion.”
"Didn't you get off too?"
At this moment, Estád interjected, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ruan Mei's attempt to shift blame.
What is meant by "the love potion under Estádio"?
What you gave me wasn't a love potion?
"Who told you that I administered a love potion?"
Ruan Mei's expression suddenly changed, becoming somewhat frightening.
"No, isn't it?"
Estella's expression changed as well.
If it's not the elixir of love, then what is it?
"I used a laxative."
"—"
Estella never expected that Ruan Mei would administer such a simple and brutal drug.
So, was she the only one thinking of turning Black Tower into a bed partner?
Ruan Mei simply wanted to tease Hei Ta?
"laxative……"
Black Tower's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this word.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether his expression showed misunderstanding or blame.
"This couldn't possibly have been transmitted to me through a doll, could it...?"
"So...Ms. Ruan Mei, it would be best if we went to the toilet and settled down first?"
Estella also felt really pissed off.
Is a laxative the medication you should be taking?
"No, I recommend enduring it with all your might."
Ruan Mei regained her calm expression.
"Otherwise, losing one's personality would be a big problem."
"...loss of personality?"
Black Tower and Estella were both taken aback when they heard this.
then……
"What kind of laxative did you develop!?"
Both Black Tower and Estella went berserk.
"Of course, it's a personality laxative."
Ruan Mei took a deep breath. "Do you all think I'm the kind of scholar who can rely on just one trick to succeed?"
"Don't flaunt your scientific spirit at a time like this—! Could this drug be…?"
Both Black Tower and Estella felt gastrointestinal discomfort.
"It's a consciousness toxin I developed, but you can call it a curse if you want, so... it can also affect your physical body, Black Tower."
"Are you crazy?!"
Black Tower and Estella were really anxious at this point.
If I can't hold back... my image and personality will be completely ruined!
"You need to come up with a solution right now—!"
"Bear with it. After all, I don't want to kill you. This medicine takes effect slowly and its effects are reversible. Just bear with it for about an hour and you'll be fine."
"What if... what if I can't resist...?"
Estelle asked hesitantly, "Could it be...?"
Estella had some nauseating images flashing through her mind.
"No, things won't get that bad."
Ruan Mei seemed to know what Estelle was thinking, and replied calmly, "It will only cleanly expel a creation that you call a cat cake, and you can experience the cat cake's perspective for free. Afterwards, you just need to have someone stuff it back in..."
"That's enough! Stop talking!"
The Black Tower has begun to bend over.
"Who wants to become that thing?!"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what your favorite cat cake will look like."
"Please don't talk about it like you're choosing your favorite pet..."
Estella clutched her stomach and grumbled, "Thank goodness the boss hasn't been attacking from behind much lately..."

Chapter 489 The life of a genius has come to an end.
"...You guys are playing pretty hard."
After watching the surveillance footage, Liu Bai really didn't know what expression to make.
The only response to Liu Bai was a silent rebuke from the three of them.
Emerald and Mebius both facepalmed. Thank goodness this was a private occasion, otherwise they would have really wanted to pretend they didn't know these three people.
