Please save my nue. "To the Yurei Detective Club: Please save my nue."
"Nue"?
Come on down, and meet all kinds of animals!
Wow, it really feels like a real animal!
Come see the realest realistic animals in a place where you can get dynamic...
...and touch 'em!
Curator of the Neo Animal Museum
The Professor's waiting for you!
Curator of the Neo Animal Museum Drop on by the Neo Animal Museum!
The Neo Animal Museum
The Neo Animal Museum, huh?
Come visit !
On the Trail of a Liar
The majority of the animals on the island
On the Trail of a Liar
are actually robots done up with Deco skins. Artificial animals, basically.
The Neo Animal Museum features a variety of these animals on display,
all created by the Professor.
Doggo, Doggo, doggy-doggy!
They're not like Doggo, who I made outta junk.
And frankly, I like mine better.
Mister Snuggly-wuggly!
Mister Watson's not artificial or a cat.
I've never been to the Neo Animal Museum.
"It's not a real museum. It's like a failed freak show."
That's definitely the reputation it has.
And does our new case have something to do with this institution?
Did the pigeon with the request come from the museum?
Seems so.
"Please save my nue."
What even is a nue?
Nue nue.
"Nue nue"?
You don't know about it? Here.
A type of bird whose cry is "nue nue."
It's so cuuute!
"A type of bird whose cry is 'nue, nue.'"
For Decopedia, that's a bit sparse on detail.
"It's so cuuute!"
That's what all the basics think, anyway.
Heck of a way of puttin' it...
Gimme!
So... are we accepting the case?
For now, we should find out the details. After all, someone's feeling motivated.
Wild animals?! But they're stinky!
Hup!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You're a shaky-quaky nerdy-birdy.
Shut up!
Dang it.
I. Love. Ai!
H-Hey, hold up!
The Neo Animal Museum
This is it.
These animals really are realistic!
Wow! I've seen some of these on Decopedia!
They're all so Love-y! Every single one of 'em!
And this one...
It's bugging out?
Hey, it's a bunny!
Love-y!
"A chance to interact with the realest realistic animals."
That's the Neo Animal Museum.
I take it you're from the Yurei Detective Club, yes?
Oh, Professor...
Welcome to the Neo Animal Museum!
I've been waiting for you.
Every single animal you see on display here was built by me personally.
And among them, there are also species that have gone extinct.
Hey, nerdy-birdy!
And among them, there are also species that have gone extinct.
Get down from there!
Sniff sniff.
Smells like Pup. Not stinky at all!
You can interact with animals that are long gone from this world...
It's magnificent!
Are you okay?
As you can see, I've gone as far as recreating the wild temperament of these creatures.
Um, you're bleeding.
And yet, my beloved nue...
What's this thing?
It says it's a nue.
No way. It looks totally different.
I can assure you it's not!
Wh-What the...
What you are looking at is a really realistic nue!
Scary!
This is my greatest creation, the nue.
Whoa, it's...
Looks stinky!
Sniff sniff. No stink at all.
It's totally different from what's on Decopedia.
That's because that information is incorrect. You're looking at a true nue.
Is Decopedia ever wrong, though? It's moderated by the Customer Center.
Someone must've overwritten the correct data after a case of Zero Phenomenon.
And now, my darling gets treated like an impostor.
Poor thing.
Inaccurate information is evil.
The way my beloved nue gets treated like a lie due to false information
is more than I can bear.
So when you say you want us to save your nue...
Could you please update Decopedia so it has the correct information on it?
I want you to save my beloved nue.
And that's what he said.
Rewrite a Decopedia entry, huh?
That's gonna mean getting past Customer Center security inside the Hyperverse...
Kind of a big deal.
How much is he paying?
100,000 Love.
Sounds tasty!
Not bad at all.
Who's going in?
Me!
I'm going!
No way!
I wanna go in!
You can both go, y'know.
Fine.
Nerdy-birdy's gonna trip up.
Well, you'd better not slow me down!
Something troubling you, Madam?
Just a little.
Smiley, I need you to take care of something.
Kinda busy right now.
There's Love in it for you.
I'm on the case!
All right. Activating Hyperverse.
Let's-a...
Go!
This is Decopedia's index?
Steady...
The information on Nue will be in there somewhere. Step one is to find it.
"Find it"? Are you saying we have to look through every entry?
Can't we run a search or something?
Sure you can. If you don't mind the Customer Center catching on and swarming all over us.
This section should include all the listings on animals.
Seriously?
Hey, bombardier beetles. Hank mentioned 'em before.
Wow, it stinks, huh?
Wait, I need to stay focused!
Ugh, this *s! Where is the nue?
Quit slacking!
Bored now.
You do it, nerdy-birdy.
Our job is to find the nue!
Come on, Hack!
Gotcha!
Finn! We've got something!
That's the data for the nue.
Give me a second. I'll make it rewritable.
All done!
Oh, come on. It looked nothing like that.
It had a rounder belly, I think.
Ta-da!
Nerdy-birdy *s at this!
Dora-nue-mon!
Nue-rril!
Quit it!
What the heck?
Enough. You're not here to play around.
Right...
Hey! Stop!
Get back here!
Ragey-rage...
Gotcha!
Shoot, that's Customer Center security.
Oops.
There!
If that data makes it out of here,
it'll get distributed as the updated nue information.
Catch it quick.
We know!
Nerdy-birdy...
What's this thing?
The nue took off on its own...
Spreading far and wide...
What the heck? This is hilarious!
Oh man, it's blowing up!
And somewhere along the line, the nue started being considered lucky.
Before long, it was a full-on nue craze.
What do we do now?!
The Neo Animal Museum
I asked you to correct the information on Decopedia about nue.
Nue Corner
I asked you to correct the information on Decopedia about nue.
That was the request.
Well, this is fascinating.
I'm so sorry.
The comments the museum has been getting are also quite interesting.
"This museum's got a fake, gross nue on display."
"I recommend not going."
"I thought I'd get to see a cute nue, but it was some nasty thing instead."
"Worst museum ever! Never going again."
"The nue here is grody."
No point in going."
"I was tricked into believing they had a nue. No point in going."
No point in going." "The nue here is..."
I'm really sorry! We didn't think it'd turn out like this!
This museum only displays animals based off of scientifically accurate information.
My beloved nue is weeping in sorrow.
I'm sorry, but as things stand, I won't be paying you.
What do we do?
Isn't there some way to get rid of all that fake nue info?
Not after the way it blew up, no.
Nue-nue is fine, too.
We can't just ignore false information.
Why not?
What do you mean? Because it's not right.
And we won't get paid, either.
We need to make sure it's corrected.
I actually have the truth right here.
Yep.
A book?! A real one?!
Remarkable.
It's positively ancient, too.
Oh? It seems we've dug up something even Finn isn't familiar with.
Where did you find it?
An old friend of mine let me have it.
Sniff sniff. Stinky!
That's the smell of old books.
That's an illustrated book with a lot of old knowledge in it.
It's super stinky!
Still smells better than you.
Sniff sniff. So stinky!
Read that page, if you would.
Nue
"Nue: A fictional creature, passed down through oral tradition."
Wait, so as a species, the nue never actually existed?
Which would mean both the Decopedia nue and the one at the Neo Animal Museum
are based on false information?
I heard a line when Moses and I were searching through the reeds...
"The best way to get someone to believe a lie is to wrap it up in an obvious truth."
"You'll never find a more effective way than that."
Uh... What does it mean?
The truth can be a mistake, and a mistake can be the truth.
And a mistake is a mistake, and the truth is the truth.
Is there any chance the info in this book is wrong?
From what I'm seeing, I'd say it's much more likely that the Professor is wrong.
We'd better tell him the truth, then.
"Truth"?
Yeah. The truth that the nue isn't real.
"True" this, "false" that...
Nerdy-birdy, you're boring.
It's not about what's boring or not.
I wouldn't want someone believing something about me that wasn't true.
Wouldn't you feel the same way, Hack?
Well...
I guess, in your case, there's no info to be found, true or false.
Hack's info?
Oh, when I was looking at the records in the Customer Center, I took a peek at it.
There was no record of Hack's past at all.
Who said you could do that?!
Ragey-rage rage rage rage rage!
Nerdy-birdy, you're in the wrong!
I was just looking! And anyway, it said we were both dead, so I didn't find anything.
You're alive, nerdy-birdy!
Data says you're dead, but I see you living right now!
So the info's wrong!
Ya gotta look with your own eyes to find out what's true!
There are some truths you can't see for yourself!
Diary, I'm feeling awful.
What am I supposed to do?
Can it really be wrong to tell people the truth?
I dunno.
I dunno, but the Professor did want the truth, so...
This can't be wrong, can it?
I knew all along that the nue never really existed.
Wait, really?
Really.
What are you doing?
Inaccurate information must be erased.
Wait, you're gonna get rid of the nue?! Do you really have to go that far?
It's the policy of this museum to only display scientifically accurate animals.
It would be wrong to have a fictional creature on display.
But you said you loved your nue!
I have no need for false information.
All trace of the nue the Professor loved was gone.
Decopedia, show me the info for the nue.
Create a New Page for [Nue]
The listing for the nue on Decopedia was gone, too.
I think the page was probably a total mess of false information by the end.
The nue craze was over before you knew it, and replaced by something else.
It was like it had never existed in the first place.
I don't know what's right or wrong about it all...
But I'm kind of sad that the nue seems to be gone completely.
Nue nue...
Did you apologize to Hack?
For looking up data you shouldn't have.
I think you should apologize.
Was it really that bad?
Yurei have pasts, too.
And everyone has things in their past they'd rather keep private.
Listen, Hack... I'm sorry about what I did.
What're you looking at?
Looked up nerdy-birdy's school data. Without asking!
You got an 8 in science? Nerdy-birdy's super dumb!
Don't—
Hack! Get back here!
Hey, a poem you had to write over summer vacation. Should be good!
Anything but that! It's my secret shame!
"Oh, Berry!"
"Wherefore art I Berry?"
Stop! Please! I'm begging you! Hack!

I was going to make them next...
But I don't think I will.
