Chapter 371: Chapter 229: Hidden Mechanism Easter Egg, Raising Mrs. Winter’s Suspicions (Part 4)
Whoa, what is this?
What kind of weird setup is this?
Huh, is there no end, why are there still mechanisms?
Oh gosh, can’t stop, where will the next mechanism be?
...
"That’s it, right."
After half an hour, Clement Winter was exhausted and drenched in sweat.
Katherine Collins nodded, "We’ve searched everywhere we could."
Henry Chapman said nothing, his gaze was fixed on the Mechanical Puppet, but he practically gave up.
"Is there, is there still any..."
Mr. Carter licked his dry lips, subconsciously turned his head, and asked Nora Scott.
"I don’t know." Nora Scott gave a brief answer.
"..."
Mr. Carter was choked.
Oh, she’s not the creator, how would she know?
Having watched the whole thing, Nora Scott was a bit impressed by the three of them.
It’s obvious they don’t understand Mechanical Techniques at all, yet through messing around, they managed to figure out seven or eight of the mechanisms on the puppet.
As for the last one or two...
Nora Scott didn’t want to reveal them in public.
Perhaps fate will let someone else find them.
That’s the twisted pleasure of being the creator.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
Suddenly, Clement’s phone started vibrating.
Everyone’s attention instantly focused on Clement Winter.
Clement Winter scratched his head and gave them an apologetic smile, "Ah, sorry, I need to take a call—"
He took out his phone and turned to walk to the corner.
"Clement, did you get lost in another dimension?!"
The assistant shouted hoarsely on the other end of the line.
"Not really, I—" Clement Winter blinked and glanced back at Nora Scott and the others, "I’ll be right back."
"You’d better be back right away!" The assistant took a deep breath in despair, "I beg you! Hurry up! The show crew thinks you got flushed down the toilet!"
"...That’s probably just you." Clement Winter pouted.
"Doesn’t matter who thinks what! You went to the bathroom and disappeared for half an hour, everyone suspects you—" The assistant forcibly swallowed another word, his voice deafening, "Within five minutes, ask for directions and get back here! The team session is waiting for you!"
"On my way, on my way."
Clement Winter rubbed his ear and quickly hung up the phone.
Glancing at the time, he felt a bit embarrassed indeed.
Because the cameraman had left early, he didn’t feel the reality of filming the show, and having too much fun, he completely forgot about the program...
"Miss..." After putting away the phone, Clement tilted his head, about to call out to Nora Scott, but stopped mid-sentence, swallowing the name back, "Miss Scott, I have to go record the show now, thanks for your help today."
Nora Scott responded with a "Hmm."
Clement Winter hurriedly ran off.
He went around asking until he found the backstage of the performance hall and reached the entrance before suddenly remembering—
Forgot to ask Nora Scott for contact information! She really helped a lot just now!
Plus, he got along so well with the other two buddies, he wanted their contact info too!
Thinking about it made Clement Winter a little despondent; he wanted to go back but realized with his own ability, he definitely wouldn’t be able to find that room again, so his eyelids drooped, feeling gloomy.

Once Clement Winter, the initiator of the Mechanical Puppet search, left, the mechanism finding session ended as it reached a deadlock.
"Still want to play?" Nora Scott asked Katherine Collins and Henry Chapman.
"Can’t find anymore."
Katherine Collins felt a bit disappointed.
A rare chance to interact closely with this Mechanical Puppet and to find so many "Easter eggs"...
Had a lot of fun playing.
Just don’t know if they’ve found all the "Easter eggs."
Henry Chapman didn’t speak, but his action of walking back proved he wisely chose to give up searching.
Once the two of them left the Mechanical Puppet, Mr. Carter quickly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, signaling staff to come forward and place the Mechanical Puppet back in the glass display cabinet, lest the two change their minds... and make a fuss again.
"Knock knock knock."
The closed door was knocked on.
Mr. Carter, physically and mentally exhausted, went to open the door and saw the show’s deputy director and two staff members.
"Are they still here?"
The deputy director smiled and asked Mr. Carter.
"They are." Mr. Carter nodded and then turned around to call, "Miss Scott."
Nora Scott turned to look.
Katherine Collins and Henry Chapman almost instinctively avoided eye contact.
—The deputy director is quite sharp, might recognize them; best not to meet face to face.
"What’s the matter?"
Nora Scott walked over.
"We heard about what happened at the door, really sorry about that."
The deputy director smiled like a Buddha, with an amiable expression, sincerely apologizing to Nora Scott.
Hands in his pockets, Nora Scott slightly raised an eyebrow, "Oh."
The attitude was a bit cold.
