"So, are you embezzling funds?"
"Reasonably propose a worthwhile project, apply for and fund it, then, with the efforts of two talented scientists, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, the project is quickly conquered, and the remaining funds are used for other research; all steps are reasonable."
Einstein seemed to be describing a trivial matter.
"Have you always been doing this?"
Tian Shi looked at Tesla strangely. Although Tesla couldn't see Tian Shi,
"So, are you embezzling funds?"
—Only occasionally... Well, after all, those guys really can't understand some of our research.
Tesla is susceptible after all and showed an expression of guilt.
Tian Shi already had a sense of déjà vu: wasn't this the same trick that professionals used to deceive Xiaobai that he had seen so many times in his previous life?
For example, someone claims that they want to develop chips and attract personnel from major chip manufacturers, letting these professionals brag about it and make a big noise to attract investment and gain political support. Then, when you check back in two or three years, that person doesn't exist.
"I think, compared to this method, you might as well submit a project related to quantum mechanics. I don't think many people can understand it, and maybe quantum mechanics has something to do with ghosts."
Tian Shi thought that if Einstein really didn't speak the human language, maybe even Otto would be dizzy.
"Well, although it's not impossible, it's better to apply for follow-up funding after obtaining the results."
Einstein actually showed a thoughtful expression after listening to Tian Shi's words, but then shook her head.
Good lord. Are you still counting on more funding?
"So, from now on, Mr. Ghost, you will assist us in our experiments."
"Does that mean I'm a guinea pig?"
"No, it's just to assist in the experiment." Einstein reached out and smoothed her hair. "At our current level, it is completely impossible to analyze the existence of ghosts, that is, your existence."
"Yes, although I am very reluctant to admit it, your existence is completely beyond the capabilities of modern science."
Tesla didn't know when she put on a pair of red-rimmed glasses and looked at Tian Shi seriously with her arms crossed.
"So, although I personally want to cut you into sashimi... well, I mean slices, but I can't do it now."
"You guys are just seeking revenge, right?" Tian Shi twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Well, you have to trust my ethics as a scientist."
"But I can't trust the heart of a tsundere."
"Who are you calling a tsundere!?"
"Since there are self-aware people, take a seat."
"Hmm... the first phase of the research is tentatively titled 'The Impact of Ghosts on Modern Equipment.'"
Einstein took out the pen and paper she carried with her and added the research project on Tian Shi to the notebook.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
"Um... entertain us while we do our experiments?"
A smile appeared on Einstein's mouth.
"The first phase of the experiment is just to see if you can interfere with modern equipment or not, so you don't have to do anything, just watch Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla do the experiment."
Einstein had the habit of "referring to herself in the third person," occasionally referring to herself in the third person.
At first glance, Tian Shi thought it was quite interesting.
"Will just the two of us be enough?"
"The first stage is enough." Einstein nodded.
"But as for the second stage..."
"May I ask what the second stage is?"
Tian Shi interrupted cautiously.
"According to your presentation, you can possess various inert beings, right? The second stage is to study this: 'The changes that ghosts cause when possessing modern equipment and the principles of possession.'"
"It's a very well-organized experiment."
Something's not right, is it? Why did I go from being a ghost to being a research subject?
"But, obviously, you're going to study me, so why should I try to entertain you?"
"Well... will you let Dr. Tesla entertain you?"
"Hey!" Tesla protested vigorously.
"I think some of Dr. Tesla's reactions should be quite interesting." Einstein continued in a tone of describing the laws of physics.
"I can't argue with that."
"Don't be a ghost in a place like this where you can't refute anything!"
Dr. Tesla is quite funny, like right now.
Making a tsundere explode is also one of the pleasures of human nature.
By the way, Tian Shi believes that other pleasures that can be obtained from Tsundere are seeing a Tsundere regretting and crying loudly and being "coquettish" in bed.
"I felt a chill down my spine again for no reason."
Tesla always feels that her future will not be good.
"Well, if Dr. Tesla isn't funny enough, I can also tell you some jokes and tell you some jokes."
"When Lieserl jokes, it doesn't sound like a joke at all, even when she's telling a joke."
In return, Tesla decided to dismantle Einstein without hesitation.
"You've seen it, Lieserl's serious expression when she jokes. With that expression, I would have believed that she was publishing a paper!"
Tesla, who was only scared, said resentfully.
"Really?" Hearing the tone, Einstein didn't seem to be too surprised by Tesla's evaluation.
"So, the treatment of Mr. Ghost is resolved like this. Dr. Tesla makes Mr. Ghost happy once a day, and Dr. Einstein tells Mr. Ghost a joke every day."
"Lieserl!"
It seems that Tesla is still not satisfied.
But…
Tesla thought about future research... Well, it's just a joke, and it's not unacceptable.
"But, again... don't you have a name?" Tesla looked at the air around her. "It's too strange to always call you a ghost, isn't it?"
Tesla accidentally noticed this detail: Tian Shi's name.
"Didn't I tell you?"
"No, you just said you are the ghost behind the scenes, so let us call you Mr. Ghost."
"I thought you didn't care about this..." Tian Shi scratched his head; his three hosts, except for calling him God Apollo, Rita and Mobius knew his name.
But the two of them have always called him: Mr. Ghost
So much so that Tian Shi himself didn't care much.
"If you don't mind, I can give you a name, how about Welt or something?"
The corners of Einstein's mouth rose slightly, as if she was looking forward to naming Tian Shi.
"No, I have a name, my name is Tian Shi... It doesn't matter if you continue to call me Mr. Ghost."
For Tian Shi, the name "Mr. Ghost" is more familiar than his real name.
Of course, most importantly, the name Welt is not popular.
