Chapter 89: The Deception Unveiled!

Originally, the crowd hadn't noticed the appearance of Scarecrow's holographic image. They hesitated, holding their chopsticks, and didn't start eating.

However, when Scarecrow suddenly appeared, the group of T-Dolls looked up at the holographic image of Scarecrow. Through their own team's separate channel, they silently exchanged opinions and reached a consensus on the current issue.

Sorry... Scarecrow, this was probably the necessary evil they had heard of before, right? To ensure that what was cooked in this pot of red soup was really edible, they decided to let the taste-insensitive Jaeger try it first!

At the same time, to ensure the accuracy of Jaeger's verification results... it was decided to be you! Scarecrow!

"Cough cough, actually, don't be fooled by the appearance of this pot of soup, it's just because tomatoes and beets were added to it! Isn't beet soup also red? Right?!"

"Right, right, right!" Simonov began, with BM59 as his sidekick. The two of them sang and harmonized. If Renault hadn't known that his taste buds were fine, he might have been fooled by these two!

Especially you! BM59! How did a good kid like you turn bad now!?

Just as Renault was about to roll his eyes speechlessly, he felt M1911's two fingers pinching the soft flesh under his ribcage, causing real pain.

"Hmm? At first glance, it does look like beet soup, but isn't there a bit too much chili in it?" Scarecrow wasn't blind; she could clearly see the chilies floating on the surface of the pot as the soup bubbled.

"No, no! Sugar and sour cream were added here, the spiciness has already been neutralized! It's not spicy at all! Do you want to connect with Jaeger and taste it?"

"Wu wu!" M1 Garand said as she let SPAS-12 next to her cover CF05's mouth, preventing her from interrupting. If Scarecrow was scared away, there would be no one to taste the food, right?

Commander? No, no, the commander didn't count. This hot pot's ingredients were concocted by the commander and CF05 together. How could she not know the taste? They absolutely wouldn't believe it!

"Really? Then I'll give it a try. Jaeger, please." Seeing the sincere expressions of M1 Garand and BM59, Scarecrow didn't think too much and immediately nodded towards Jaeger.

"Okay, ready!" Jaeger had already taken out the connecting cable, waiting for Scarecrow's words.

And Jaeger had already obediently followed Renault's instructions and unilaterally turned off her pain feedback module.

In this way, even if she ate the hot pot ingredients, she wouldn't feel any spiciness apart from the taste of the food, since these two sensations belonged to the pain perception module in the Doll's sensory system.

"Then I won't be polite!" Saying that, Jaeger directly picked up a slice of beef from the pot and stuffed it into her mouth!

The rich aroma of beef, the tender texture of the meat, the salty fragrance, and the unique aroma of the spices!

"Mmm! Delicious!" After just one bite, Jaeger's eyes lit up, and she continued to pick beef from the pot with her chopsticks!

"Ah! So cunning!" CF05 finally broke free from SPAS-12's arm, or rather, SPAS-12 couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing Jaeger enjoying the food so much, she subconsciously let go of her hand.

CF05, of course, didn't hesitate and immediately joined the feast. SPAS-12 followed suit, and Renault didn't stop either. If they didn't eat quickly now, these little troublemakers might snatch it all before they had a chance.

"Hmm, the taste isn't..."

"Hmph, hehehe! Ah! Ahh!" Just as Renault was about to speak after tasting it, he heard a miserable scream coming from Scarecrow's holographic image!

Scarecrow, who had been standing still, even sat directly on the ground, covering her mask with both hands, her eyes tightly closed, tears visible in the corners of her eyes.

This piercing scream startled M1 Garand and the others who were watching CF05 and Renault. Especially after seeing Scarecrow's agonized appearance, their faces turned pale, and the bio-mimetic system clearly reflected their worries on their synthetic skin.

"Ah! You guys actually tricked me!?" Scarecrow, who seemed to be burning with anger, glared at Simonov and the others while covering her mask, roaring angrily!

"Cough, um... " Hearing Scarecrow's words, Simonov and the others froze, their faces stiff. They had been so busy finding someone to taste the food that they had forgotten that SPAS-12, a glutton, was still there.

Now she was eating while puffing and panting, but even so, her chopsticks showed no sign of stopping!

CF05 and Jaeger were the same, not stopping at all, and the ingredients in the pot kept diminishing.

Renault quickly picked up a few chopsticks and then turned to Scarecrow. "Alright, just lower the sensitivity of the pain feedback system, it won't cause any substantial harm to the Dolls."

"Hmph, I've already thought of this kind of thing a long time ago. It's just pretending to fool these guys." As soon as Renault finished speaking, Scarecrow, who had just been covering her mask as if in pain, immediately stood up from the ground, her expression returning to normal, but her cheeks were still slightly flushed.

Obviously, the situation wasn't as simple as she described. After all, there was still a connection line between Jaeger and the Ant, and Jaeger was still eating non-stop.

How could she not feel the spicy taste?

But M1 Garand and the others didn't notice the cunningness in Scarecrow's eyes. After seeing her unscathed appearance, they felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all the fuss, weren't they the ones who had been played?

Gurgle!

Seeing Renault and the others enjoying the food so much, the other Dolls couldn't help it. They all picked up a chopstick from the pot and stuffed it into their mouths, without even bothering to see what they were picking up!

Yes! I'm talking about you, Simonov! Why pick chili with all the options available! You'll suffer if anyone does!

"Ah!" Another series of screams followed. Obviously, the Dolls who had never tried authentic spicy hot pot were all hit hard by their own pain simulation systems.

"So, what brings you here today? You didn't come just to see how our food is, did you?" Ignoring Simonov, who rushed out to find water, Renault turned to Scarecrow and asked.

"Just came to ask why you haven't been on any missions recently. There's been quite a backlog of goods in the port lately, a lot of them are meant to be sent to your city. Just now, a merchant came to us, saying he wanted Sangvis Ferri's help to escort those goods." Wiping the sweat from her forehead caused by the spiciness, Scarecrow said to Renault.
