Stepping onto the stairs, the group arrived at the Museum entrance and saw a blue-purple-haired man wearing a monocular lens standing by the door, scolding an orange-haired boy about the same age as Nobita and his friends.
"Kurt, where did you go to slack off again? Recently, many tourists have complained to me. Are you really not working seriously?"
"Curator... I..."
The boy named Kurt bowed his head, secretly pondering what excuse to use to prevaricate.
His guilty eyes slightly shifted, and he happened to see Nobi Hiroshi walking towards them.
The invitation in Doraemon's hand immediately caught his attention.
"Curator, it seems like guests have arrived. Let's talk later!!!"
Kurt was granted a reprieve, and the man saw this and punched him on the head, saying, "You brat, don't mess up again later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man retracted his fist, full of disappointment, and quickly urged Kurt to change into his work uniform. Then, with a warm smile, he walked towards Nobi Hiroshi and the others.
"Oh, hello, esteemed guests."
"I am Curator Frakes. Welcome to the Secret Gadget Museum. May I check your invitation, please?"
Frakes bowed slightly, humbly taking the invitation from Doraemon's hand to check it, and returned it to him after confirming it was correct.
"I'm a guide working here. My name is Kurt Hartman. Hello, everyone."
Taking off his jacket and putting on his guide uniform, Kurt's youthful face was filled with shyness. After a brief exchange with them, he didn't expect to be a natural hard worker at such a young age.
"Curator, actually, we came to the Museum because we're looking for something."
"Because my friend's bell was stolen by someone, I used the Sherlock Holmes set to investigate and found the name DX. Do you know this person?"
Nobi Hiroshi said straightforwardly.
"Phantom Thief DX!"
Their entire bodies were suddenly struck by lightning. Kurt and the Curator were both very shocked.
After a moment of stunned silence, Curator Frakes spread his hands and said, "How could I not know! Our Museum was invaded by him a few days ago, and even the enlarging light that was originally in our Museum was stolen by him!"
After a long complaint, the middle-aged man encountered the most significant career crisis of his life.
Regardless of whether it was the future world or the original world, a magical law has always remained unchanged: the consistent positive performance of the Sakura Police Department in punishing criminals.
Not to say they were useless, just that they tried their best.
"Wahahaha, let me tell you guys, Phantom Thief DX is really amazing."
"Not only did he beat a large group of police officers, but he also smoothly left with lightning speed. It was so cool!"
With stars in his eyes, the part-timer stood beside his boss, making sarcastic remarks. Kurt vividly described what happened that day.
He only closed his mouth reluctantly when the Curator's murderous glare descended upon him.
"I still have matters to attend to. Since you have come all this way, why not visit the Museum while you are looking for the bell?"
"Kurt, do a good job."
Curator Frakes left after saying that, giving Kurt a cold look before he left, and made a "you know" gesture.
"Hiss~"
The latter felt a chill down his neck from being stared at and silently led the guests into the Museum.
"Wow, what a huge place!!!"
Stepping over the threshold, Xiao Fu looked around at the countless space doors and exclaimed repeatedly.
Even a young master who had seen a lot of the world reacted like this, so there was no need to mention the others.
Except for Gian, who needed to be mentioned separately, after all, any floor tile casually picked up from here would be a hundred times cleaner than his room.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so surprised. This is just the entrance hall."
"That super large and memorable Secret Gadget in front of us is the initial anywhere door. All the previous anywhere doors are here, and we can go to various branch Museums through the anywhere door."
Pointing to the steam anywhere door, which was tens of meters high in the center, Kurt forced a smile.
Today's guests were a bit special, their eyes revealing a clear ignorance, as if they were products not belonging to this era.
"Excuse me, who is this person?"
Shizuka stopped and pointed to the statue next to the initial anywhere door. A glowing orange hexagonal object floated in his hand like a jewel.
"Oh, that person? He's Dr. Hartman, the scientist who developed all-metal and led the Secret Gadget's development a big step forward!"
Kurt said unequivocally, his confident tone containing deep pride.
"Ultraman?"
"Ahem, Kurt, I remember your name also has Hartman, right?"
Nobi Hiroshi pulled the small hand in his palm and asked Kurt.
"Um... actually, Dr. Hartman, he's my grandfather."
Shrinking his neck, Kurt's weak answer gave the group a small shock.
Nobi Hiroshi's eyes flashed with suspicion. It was too strange for Kurt, who had the identity of "my Secret Gadget founder grandfather," to be a guide in such a place.
"Wow, so that's how it is."
"Then Kurt, you must also be able to make amazing Secret Gadgets, right?"
Shizuka smiled innocently.
"Th-that's... that's for sure..."
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you a gadget I developed myself. It will definitely be preserved in this Museum in the future."
Kurt took out his four-dimensional pouch and pulled out a pair of flying boots with wings attached to the soles.
"Hehe, it's Goo Goo Goo. Now let me demonstrate the function of this gadget!"
Putting on the flying boots, Kurt snapped his fingers, and Goo Goo Goo instantly opened its eyes, flapping its wings wildly like a mad bird, sticking to the ceiling and jumping for joy.
"Ah!!!"
Waving his arms, Kurt, who was performing a bicycle kick, couldn't control Goo Goo Goo at all.
With a loose shoe, Kurt handsomely landed face-first, his two bare feet stiffly pointing towards the sky.
The flying boots flew far away from home, their whereabouts unknown.
"Hahahaha, his grandfather is such an amazing scientist, but as a grandson, he can only make these useless gadgets."
Pointing at the blushing Kurt, Gian laughed loudly, completely maximizing his inconsiderate behavior, leaving no room for himself to retreat.
The high-level player Xiao Fu also chimed in, "Hehehe, useless gadget, useless gadget!"
With the wife following the husband's lead, the child was completely ruined.
"I... I will invent super amazing gadgets one day and collect them in this Museum. Just you wait and see!"
Kurt's face was red with anger, and as soon as he finished speaking, several ladybug-like flying objects landed on Nobi Hiroshi and the others' chests, turning into different colored badges.
"Kurt, what exactly is this?"
Nobi Hiroshi tugged at the badge attached to his chest, finding that it couldn't be unfastened at all.
"Nothing, this is a transmitter, used to prevent tourists from getting lost."
"Because the Museum is really too big, when it first opened, several people got lost and trapped every day."
Kurt took out a locator, and the screen showed different colored dots, allowing them to observe everyone's real-time location.
"Trapped! Is it that dangerous here?"
Hearing this, Xiao Fu's legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Of course," Kurt said, "so everyone needs to be careful. Even if I have a locator, I can't guarantee everyone's safety."
Kurt walked up to Xiao Fu, his eyes hiding an inexplicable deep meaning, deliberately exaggerating the danger. Even Fat Tiger, his accomplice, couldn't help but gulp.
