Upon hearing Kaltsit's words, Closure's eyes lit up.
As Rhodes Island's chief engineer, she was indeed busy, but in Closure's eyes, nothing was more important than metal lifeforms.
Even if she had to turn one day into 25 hours, she would do it willingly.
"I'll go with you. Kanna entrusted that little guy inside to me earlier. Without me to guide you, it might be shy." The Doctor, feeling that he shouldn't stay here much longer, saw Closure already eager to leave and go to that house to see Magnemite, so he spoke up.
"Good, good, good! Kaltsit, I'll take the Doctor and go ahead..." Before Kaltsit could react, Closure, as if receiving an order, pulled the Doctor and rushed out of the office like the wind.
With the Doctor leading the way, Closure entered the room that made her heart race.
To Closure, the somewhat oddly shaped Magnemite was so cute, so alluring. Her fervent gaze startled the Magnemite, which had been born less than half a day ago. When Kanna transferred its ownership to the Doctor, it had felt a slight reluctance, but now, hiding behind the Doctor, it couldn't help but tremble.
"Hehehe, little one, don't worry, I'm not a good person... bah, a bad person. Come here and let big sister have a good look!" Closure, with shining eyes, found Magnemite hiding behind the Doctor, so she shoved the Doctor aside and then, with a flushed face, extended her 'demonic' claws towards the seemingly weak and pitiful Magnemite.
"Be careful... Kanna said that Magnemite will release an electric shock when startled..." Seeing Closure's actions, the Doctor remembered Kanna's words and immediately warned her.
However, his warning was a step too late. Just as Closure's hands were about to touch Magnemite, its taut string suddenly snapped. Following a crackling sound, a non-African Closure appeared before the Doctor.
"Are you... alright?" Looking at Closure, who had just coughed out a puff of black smoke and seemed to have a transparent object about to float out of her head, the Doctor cautiously rubbed her cheek.
"Cough, cough, cough! I'm fine, hiss! I didn't expect this little guy to be so strong!" After a few coughs, Closure finally regained her senses.
Looking at the Magnemite, which was still vigilant and constantly sparking with electricity, Closure finally retracted her sinful little hands.
"Magnemite, don't be scared. This is Closure, your... caretaker from now on. She's a good person and won't harm you." The Doctor pulled Closure behind him, then carefully walked to the still-tense Magnemite. After seeing it gradually relax, he spoke.
Upon hearing the Doctor's words, the electricity on Magnemite's body gradually disappeared. Then, like a kitten just getting to know humans, it slowly moved towards Closure with caution.
At this moment, Closure also dared not make any sudden movements, fearing that too much movement would provoke it and she would experience another round of electrotherapy.
As the Magnemite got closer and closer, eventually resting by her hand, Closure cautiously reached out and touched it.
"It should accept me now, right?" After swallowing, Closure asked the Doctor.
Although she wasn't sure if this metal lifeform had the same habits as them, considering its intelligence was not bad, if it was willing to approach without actively attacking, then it should have accepted Closure. "That should be the case. Magnemite's food is different from ours. Kanna said it feeds on electricity..."
"It's fine, little guy. I'm in charge of all the power facilities on Rhodes Island. If you follow me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury." Not to mention that Magnemite's food is electricity; even if it wanted to eat a full Manchu-Han Imperial Feast from Yan every meal, Closure's personality would ensure she found a way to get it.
After hearing Closure's words, Magnemite floated onto her shoulder.
Reaching out to pat the Magnemite beside her, Closure's dark face revealed a satisfied smile.
"Can I take it outside?" Closure pointed towards the door.
"Of course you can, but don't forget how to publicize it," Doctor said, stepping aside.
"Don't worry, I, Closure, will protect it well." While stroking Magnemite, Closure skipped out of the room.
Early the next morning, Kanna, sitting in the car, seemed a little nervous. After all, with Empress Dowager Kaltsit's power, Amiya would surely inform her of such a big matter.
Although she had already written a report on everything she could think of regarding Magnemite, if Empress Dowager Kaltsit insisted on keeping her to inquire about the situation, she would be helpless.
At this moment, Kanna seemed a bit restless. Blue Poison, beside her, thought Kanna was just excited about her first field mission as a leader.
When the convoy's supplies were fully allocated, Amiya walked through the passage. Seeing Kanna's somewhat flustered expression, she felt like laughing. Kanna had caused the trouble, yet Amiya and her team had lost many brain cells because of it.
"Don't worry, Doctor Kaltsit isn't here. Your mission this time is primarily to train your team's operational capabilities, so it won't be easily canceled."
Amiya extended a finger and lightly flicked Kanna's forehead, releasing a little bit of the anger from working late into the night.
"Then are we ready to depart?" Kanna asked Anto, the Vice Captain (vice-captain) beside her.
"Uh, isn't that Miss Nian not here yet? Aren't we waiting for her?" Anto pointed to the team with a speechless expression after hearing Kanna's words. She had reminded Kanna earlier that Nian hadn't arrived, but Kanna, too nervous about her own matters, hadn't listened.
Kanna looked around and indeed did not see Nian. She scratched the back of her head, "Sorry, my mistake. Let me ask where Nian is."
Kanna hurriedly opened her personal terminal and contacted Nian, only then realizing that Nian had just picked up Kanna's weapon and was rushing towards the gate.
"Then everyone, check your equipment again. If you haven't forgotten anything, get in the car. Once Nian arrives, we'll depart immediately!"
According to Nian's description and her speed, it would only take a few minutes for her to arrive. Kanna turned and said to the remaining team members.
Everyone checked their luggage and equipment again, and after confirming everything was in order, they got into the cars.
"Sorry, there was a small accident. But your weapon has been successfully forged." Even before Nian's figure was visible, her clear voice came from the other end of the passage.
Everyone looked over and saw Nian, holding an exaggeratedly large sword, running quickly towards the gathering point at the gate.
