Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

When the Black Tower regained its visibility, all that could be seen was pure blackness.

She stood there cautiously for a moment, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness, before slowly looking around.

In the distance, a light was flashing, the only source of light in the vicinity.

She didn't rush towards the light, but instead raised her hand to touch her cheek.

The fingertips touched smooth, soft skin, unlike the rough fabric of the bandit's hood.

She carefully touched her head again to make sure that the ugly thing with only its mouth and eyes was not on her head, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then she began to check her clothes.

A dark beret worn at an angle, with short, light brown hair falling from the brim.

She wore a short black and white dress with delicate lace trim on the hem.

Heita looked at her hands carefully for a moment, and they clearly resembled her appearance when she was fourteen or fifteen years old.

It's likely that too much energy was consumed during the body's remodeling process, causing the body to regress to that stage.

It's not a big problem, though. If I go back and get some extra nutrition, I should recover.

After discovering that she was otherwise normal except for shrinking, she took a step and walked towards the light.

She wanted to see what kind of place this was and who had brought her here.

As she gradually approached the light source, the surrounding outlines became clearer.

It was a simple desk with an old-fashioned table lamp on it, its warm yellow light creating a small bright spot in the dark space.

A stunningly beautiful young woman in a red dress sat at the desk, looking down at some documents, her slender fingers holding an old-fashioned fountain pen as she lightly touched her red lips.

Surprisingly, sitting at the other end of the desk was Lai Gushi.

"Okay, that's your arrangement. Do you have any objections?" The woman in the red dress spoke casually, as if she were assigning tasks to a subordinate.

"I have no objection, Your Excellency." Lai Gushi stood up and bowed slightly to the woman in the red dress.

Black Tower had never seen such a submissive expression on this omnic senior's face.

Where is your unruly nature?

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. The next one has arrived." The woman in the red dress raised her eyes, her gaze passing over the ancient scholar and landing on the black tower.

As they brushed past each other, Black Tower and Ragus exchanged a glance.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask what was going on with this AI guy, where she was, and who the woman in the red dress was.

But Lai Gushi simply shook his head slightly, and then walked straight into the depths of the dark space, his figure quickly swallowed by the darkness.

Black Tower could only obediently sit down in the chair and see what was going on.

"Name."

The woman in the red dress tapped the form with the tip of her pen, speaking in a businesslike tone.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name?" Black Tower replied subconsciously.

In all her years of life, she had never seen anyone put on airs like this in front of her. Even if it were the Venerable Master Bo Shi, he would have to make an appearance first.

"I am the manager, Hong. You can also call me Su Yinghong."

The woman in the red dress was not annoyed at all, and even told Black Tower her name directly.

After she finished speaking, she tapped the table lightly with the tip of her pen, making a crisp tapping sound.

"I'm currently conducting your immigration inspection. Do you have any questions? If not, let's begin."

Lately, that brat Lu Ze has been bringing people home all the time. First, there were two Herrschers and Honkai Beasts from the Honkai Energy system, and then a whole bunch of faith creatures from the Journey to the West world.

Su Yinghong was so overworked that she almost developed a psychological trauma, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: setting up an entry inspection system to register every "local specialty" that Lu Ze brought back.

"You're the manager?" Black Tower asked in shock.

Having absorbed the memories of the Great Black Tower, she naturally learned what kind of beings the Administrator was.

It is above the world, above those who transcend, and is the ultimate existence that sustains the operation of the entire dimension.

No wonder Gu Shi was so obedient like a quail just now.

"Are you done being shocked? If you're done being shocked, then answer my question properly." Su Yinghong seemed a little displeased, twirling the pen between her fingers.

"My name is Black Tower," Black Tower replied quickly.

Just kidding, she's not asking for trouble by putting on airs in front of the manager.

"Um."

Su Yinghong nodded and scribbled a few lines on the form with her pen.

She filled in "Black Tower/Iron Tomb" in the name column of the form.

Black Tower glanced at the form, and his lips twitched violently.

You seem to know everything, yet you still asked her name in such a serious manner.

Is this some kind of mockery of me?

She opened her mouth, wanting to complain, but swallowed it back.

The person sitting in front of me is the manager, not the robot from Legus, nor another version of myself; I can't argue with him.
