Chapter 181 The Witch
"Same sentiment, our branch is under the jurisdiction of this United Sugar Company, so we have to come. Why do you have to come here, Professor Deidara?"
"It's not just because of funding. Scientific research costs money. If there are no results, we can only ask the rich for some sponsorship."
Annick nodded to express his understanding. Scientific research does cost money, and Bruguet's scientific research only focused on engineering results and did not reward theoretical progress much.
"Oh, Professor Deidara, do you have a way to quickly separate fuel that is lighter than kerosene from oil?" Annick happened to meet a chemistry professor, and Annick thought of Jack who wanted to build an internal combustion engine on the Poseidon, so he simply asked for him.
ask.
"Light? A common method is to use multiple distillations to separate them with different boiling points. Why are you interested in chemistry?"
"Yes, I have a friend who wants to make an internal combustion engine using lighter fuel."
"Perhaps you should ask some physics professors here for advice. They are better at engines than I am."
"No, no, I'm only responsible for thinking about the fuel issue for him, and he will think about it himself."
"We can talk in detail."
Deidara breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that the police had not found the coachman Jeffrey whom he wanted to assassinate. Otherwise, killing people in prison would be beyond the challenge of his abilities.
Unless you follow the example of the bomber last month, dig a tunnel directly under Jeffrey's room, and then blow him up to the sky along with part of the prison.
This broom star policeman seems to be really interested in chemistry. Not only can he understand chemical formulas, but he also understands the concept of calorific value. Maybe in the future, he will have to learn to distinguish these rumors on his own.
"There, my prey." Eva searched for Didalana in the hall, rejecting the invitations of several distinguished guests.
"Mr. Cornell, may I make a random request tonight?"
"Of course, Mrs. Eva, as the most beautiful guest tonight, I can prepare it for you even if you want freshly roasted calf." Connell said exaggeratedly.
Eva smiled lightly after hearing this. "Mr. Cornell's words are so sweet. There is no need to roast the calf. There is still an empty seat at that table. I want to sit there." Eva pointed to a round table in the middle, which was exactly
The location of Annick and his gang.
"That table is all from Eggsburg University. It turns out that Mrs. Eva likes knowledgeable people. No problem. I will arrange for someone to show you the way now."
"Okay, thank you for your generosity."
"You're welcome, have fun."
Cornell watched Mrs. Eva leave.
"The fox's prey is someone on this table. The probability of two policemen is not high. There are five people participating in the competition. According to the size, they should be the professor next to the broom star. Monkey? The one with the highest IQ among the five masks.
An assistant professor does have a lot of pride."
Cornell has locked down two opponents tonight, and the remaining shooter is still waiting for news of the invitation.
"Can I sit here?"
A voice interrupted Annick and his thoughts about future energy.
A woman, a beautiful woman. Annick made a judgment at first glance. She has a curvy figure and fair skin. The only thing that feels a little inconsistent is that she is dressed more like her two sisters, which is not in line with her age.
It hurt, it seemed like my left foot had been stepped hard by Irena.
"Of course, there is still one missing." Annick came back to his senses.
"Then sir, could you please move to the left?"
The beautiful woman in front of her seemed to have taken a fancy to the old senior next to her.
"Of course." After Annick said this, he moved his seat a big step to the left.
"Brother, you really have no charm at all." Irena said in a low voice.
"Eat melon, eat melon." Annick really picked up the pumpkin pie and started eating it.
"Long time no see, Mrs. Eva." Deidara smiled bitterly.
"It didn't take long. Could it be that Mr. Deidara understands my thoughts?" Eva posted directly.
"I don't know much about this. I'm sorry that my eyes feel a little uncomfortable recently. I need to put in a drop of eye drops."
"Do you need help?" Eva said softly and silently, and Annick felt that the air was filled with sweetness.
"I can do it myself." Deidara refused decisively, then found a bottle of potion disguised as pure water, and gave himself a few drops. He then put on the sunglasses he had already paired in his bag.
"Mr. Deidara, do you think you don't think I'm good-looking enough?"
The sweetness of honey in the air turned into the sourness of vinegar. Eva looked like she was about to cry, and started to purr.
"No, I'm afraid of light, just afraid of light."
What a vulgar dog food plot, Annick complained in his heart.
Irena poked at the side and said, "Who is this beautiful woman who is posting backwards?"
Irena rolled her eyes at her brother, and then whispered.
"Brother, please stop looking. This is a socialite from Eggsburg. Her two ex-husbands are a wealthy businessman and a baron."
Two ex-husbands? Annick nailed the point.
"Ex-husband?" Annick asked.
"My ex-husband was said to have died of a heart attack due to overindulgence in his old age."
It's a little suspicious that he had a heart attack, but facing such a heart-beating woman, it makes sense to indulge in excessive sexual pleasure.
It's just that Professor Deidara is hiding as if he's seen a ghost. What's the inside story?
"This Lady Eva has a bad reputation because her husbands died one after another?"
"Not only that, many people are saying that any man she likes will be manipulated by her like a puppet on strings, so she has the nickname of a witch who manipulates people's hearts."
After listening to Irena's words, Annick suddenly thought of mind control. I don't know if the witch controls people's hearts purely through charm and means. Or if she has some kind of super power.
Checking the time, it was six-thirty in the evening. Annick decided to go out and get some fresh air. There should be half an hour before the dinner.
"I want to go out for some fresh air. Senior, I want to come with me." Seeing Deidara being pressed harder and harder by the witch, Annick decided to give him a hand.
"Okay, Mrs. Eva, please lend me." Looking at Eva who was about to sit on his lap, Deidara stood up like a drowning man grabbing a straw.
"Then let me go too."
"No, no, Mrs. Eva, I don't think it's convenient for you where we are going. After all, there are differences between men and women. Going out to freshen up is just an elegant way of saying going to the bathroom." After Annick said this, he pulled out Deidara, and the two of them were left alone.
And escape.
Annick could still feel Eva's hateful gaze behind her.
"Thank you, I feel like I will become a prisoner of the witch if I stay any longer." Deidara thanked him at the door of the bathroom, then took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and put it in his mouth.
"Old senior, you don't like this witch? Then why does she cling to you?" Annick asked smoothly.
"If this is an ordinary beautiful woman, I can accept it even if she is scheming, but this is a witch, a deadly kind." Deidara took a deep breath and then coughed.
"By the way, you smoke." Deidara coughed and handed one over.
