Luke shook his head. “I finished everything today. I’ll go to work tomorrow.”
Selina nodded and went to bed.
After taking a shower, Luke entered the workshop and called up the smart program. “Little Snail, how’s Butterfly?”
Little Snail immediately replied, “Sir, the targets’ current mood is basically stable and they’re not planning to run for now.”
Luke hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “Is Stacy being good as well?”
Little Snail: “After she recovered from being knocked out last night, she tried to escape again, but suffered another mishap.”
Luke raised an eyebrow. “Play the video; let me see what Miss Stacy is unhappy about.”
Little Snail projected a virtual screen in front of him, which showed the image of Stacy waking up.
As she got up, she asked softly, “What’s wrong with me? Why does my head hurt so much?”
On the screen, she ran her hands over her head. “My forehead hurts, and so does the back and top of my head. Why is my entire head hurting?”
The twins looked at each other. “You were knocked out by a beer bottle thrown from a passing car and fell to the ground. It’s probably from that.”
“Oh,” said Stacy, but she still felt that something was wrong. “Why does the top of my head hurt? Did I hit a lamppost?”
The twins didn’t say anything.
They certainly didn’t want to say that they had accidentally knocked her head against the door when they were helping her inside.
Next, the twins asked Butterfly to repeat the connection between the curse of the “wizard” and the bad luck they had run into.
Of course, Stacy didn’t believe it.
Due to the side effects of her ability, her personality changed constantly, and she clamored to set off again.
This time, before the twins could stop her, she abruptly got up and grabbed her bag. She had only just bent over, when she felt dizzy and her legs went weak as she fell to her knees.
In a normal situation, it would only be her knees that hurt when she knelt like this.
But now, because she was dizzy, her head also fell forward.
Her sudden movement caught the twins by surprise. They watched as she knocked her head on the solid wood coffee table in front of them.
Dong!
There was a dull and crisp sound as Stacy’s head hit the wooden table.
The twins were dumbfounded.
Just like that, Stacy quietly sank to her knees and leaned over the coffee table.
The twins were stunned for a few seconds before they came back to their senses. They hurriedly helped her back to the couch.
Stacy was unconscious again.
In addition to her forehead and the back and top of her head, there was now a fourth bump.
Luke burst out laughing. What a delightful sight.
Of the three girls, the one with the most shortcomings was Stacy; it would take a lot of bad luck to suppress her impulsive nature.
Little Snail played the next few videos.
Sure enough, Stacy was no ordinary person.
She had only been unlucky once, so when she woke up, she wanted to keep running.
In the end, they were almost hit by a car on the street, and the patrol officers almost discovered them.
Finally, Stacy turned obedient.
She could change her appearance, but the twins couldn’t. They were still on LAPD’s wanted list.
If an accident happened during their escape and the twins were caught by the police, she would have to rescue them.
After the twins persuaded her, she finally returned to the house, hoping to find out from Butterfly what “curse” the “wizard” had put on her.
Her personality was unstable, but she wasn’t an idiot.
In just two hours, she had suffered so much bad luck; furthermore, the faster she ran, the faster her run of bad luck.
On the other hand, Artemis had only fallen a couple of times, and was fine after she got up.
Stephanie was completely unharmed.
It was exactly like what Butterfly had said.
Most of these unfortunate events didn’t seem like a set up; it was just a series of terrifying coincidences that linked the usually unremarkable incidents together and turned them into accidents.
Butterfly’s voice was still as gentle as ever. “If you’ve given up on running, you can start learning the training program which the wizard left for you.”
“What program?”
A small virtual screen was suddenly projected from Butterfly’s phone. “Freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, integrity, friendliness!”
The three girls were stunned. “What’s that?”
Butterfly said, “The wizard said that you can’t undergo dangerous training right now. What you need the most right now is moral education.”
The three girls: “WTF!”
Luke turned off the screen with a smile and began to formulate a detailed training plan for the three problem girls.
What he had done during the day was only to resolve hardware issues; he had yet to create the educational software.
As for the six-word mantra, he was just giving them something to do for the time being.
It was impossible for them to understand the deeper meaning of the six-word mantra just by repeating it several times.
The next day, Luke went to work as usual. After work, he went to the temporary training center to upload the training content before he returned home.
On the other side, the three restless girls received a notification from Butterfly. “Everyone, the training base is ready. The great wizard invites you to the base for a month of basic training.”
The three girls looked at each other, picked up their things, and hailed a cab to the address that Butterfly had given them.
Less than half an hour later, they were on the roadside.
Stacy cursed non-stop. “Damn it, what kind of curse is this? We actually have to walk?”
Stephanie said carefully, “At least you didn’t pass out this time.”
Hearing that, Stacy was speechless.
The cab had only taken them halfway when it suddenly broke down. They could only get out and walk.
Thankfully, the sun was setting, so the three of them didn’t have to travel under the sun.
But when Stacy thought about how she still had ten kilometers to go before she reached the training base, she was truly infuriated.
She realized that she wasn’t cursed to be unlucky if she did anything wrong, but to be unlucky all the time, which made her initial plan to escape go up in smoke.
Given how unlucky she was, she was afraid that it would only be a matter of days before she wound up in the hospital.
On the way there, Stacy inevitably fell down a few times before the three of them finally reached the address which Butterfly had given to them.
Looking at the desolate neighborhood that was so quiet that not even a ghost could be seen, she said angrily, “You want us to stay in this damn place? Are we going to sleep in the sewers later?!”
A moment later, they passed through the hidden security system and opened the door to a spacious house. Their eyes bulged and their mouths dropped open.
Stephanie exclaimed in delight, “Ah, it’s not a sewer. It seems nice.”
Artemis subconsciously nodded in agreement. “Not bad.”
The building looked old on the outside, but the interior was clean and new. It was simple and modern, and had a slightly futuristic feel.
Butterfly suddenly said, “Stephanie, you can connect me to the A.I. butler. I’ll provide you with everything.”
