"I want to join you too! Let me join your secret society! I can help!"

Kaguya's hand reaching for the communicator stopped in mid-air. She looked at Fujiwara Chika in surprise, as if she was meeting this good friend for the first time.

After a few seconds, Kaguya's face darkened, like the sky before a storm.

"Fujiwara-san, let me say it again, this is not a student club."

Her voice was as cold as ice.

"Besides, you are not qualified to join at all."

Kaguya picked up the communicator again and prepared to press the call button.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Seeing that her last hope was about to be shattered, Fujiwara Chika no longer cared about her image. She rushed forward like a hungry tiger and hugged Kaguya's thigh.

"Kaguya! Good Kaguya! You're the best! Please! Don't erase my memory!"

She burst into tears and buried her face in Kaguya's expensive custom-made suit.

"I swear! I won't tell any secrets! I'll sew my mouth shut! No no no, I'll tie my tongue in a knot!"

"I can be very useful too! I can serve you tea and water! I can clean the place! I can even tell you jokes to liven up the atmosphere!"

"Please, Kaguya! For the sake of our long-standing friendship and the fact that I once lent you the limited edition love board game! Please let me join!"

Kaguya froze in place, feeling the warm and wet touch on her thighs, and the wails of Fujiwara Chika that were like devilish sound filling her ears. She felt her temples throbbing and the veins on her forehead bulged out.

She tried to break free, but Fujiwara Chika held her tightly, like a koala wrapped around a tree trunk, no, more like a piece of taffy that couldn't be shaken off.

In the pure white interrogation room, Fujiwara Chika's earth-shaking cries and all kinds of irrelevant promises echoed.

Kaguya took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm her emotions that were about to go out of control.

She looked at her friend who was throwing a tantrum and rolling around her legs with no manners at all, and for the first time she felt what it meant to be truly powerless.

This gave her a headache a hundred times more than facing those twisted and terrifying containment objects.

Kaguya felt like her head was about to split open.

The air in the interrogation room almost froze.

There was a barely perceptible hint of fatigue and determination between Kaguya Shinomiya's delicate eyebrows. Looking at Chika Fujiwara rolling on the ground, she felt her temples throbbing.

Hayasaka Ai stood aside, expressionless, but a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes.

Even for her, a battle-hardened girl, it was difficult to deal with a creature like Fujiwara Chika who did not play by the rules.

"Chika, I'll say this one last time. This isn't just playing house." Kaguya's voice grew colder. "This is a matter of great importance. You must..."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!" Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes and rolled around on the smooth floor like a pink dolphin thrown ashore. "Unless you promise me, I will keep rolling away!"

Kaguya took a deep breath and was about to order Hayasaka Ai to take coercive measures.

At this moment, the heavy metal door of the interrogation room slid open silently to the side.

A slender figure leaned against the door frame, looking at the slightly funny scene in the room with a bit of laziness and scrutiny, and with interest.

The light outlined a vague silhouette behind him, but it could not conceal the unique temperament in him, like the deep starry sky, embracing everything and transcending everything.

"President!"

The moment Shinomiya Kaguya saw the person coming, her body subconsciously tensed up. The dominance and impatience she had shown towards Fujiwara Chika disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by absolute respect and a hint of imperceptible panic.

She quickly straightened her appearance and bowed slightly.

Hayasaka Ai also lowered her head respectfully.

Fujiwara Chika stopped rolling around in an unruly manner. She blinked blankly at first, then looked in the direction of Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai.

The man at the door was very tall, wearing a black casual suit that looked simple but was made of exquisite material.

His facial features were so handsome that they didn't look like real people. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which made her stunned for a moment.

Is this the leader of the "secret society" that Kaguya mentioned?

It looks like he is even more... handsome than she imagined!

Could this be the "underground lover" that Kaguya mentioned... Countless melodramatic plots from girls' comics flashed through Fujiwara Chika's mind.

Lin Qing took a step forward and walked in slowly.

His pace was not fast, but it carried an invisible sense of oppression, and every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heartstrings.

He didn't look at Kaguya first, but instead his eyes fell on Fujiwara Chika who was still half lying down and looking at him with a silly face.

"I seem to hear it." Lin Qing's voice was gentle and magnetic, like a gentle spring breeze, yet it carried an unquestionable power. "Do you want to join us?"

Fujiwara Chika's cheeks felt slightly hot when she was looked at by him. She nodded subconsciously, then felt that this seemed too unreserved, so she quickly shook her head. Finally, she simply got up from the ground and stood there at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this, Kaguya quickly stepped forward and tried to explain: "President, Fujiwara-san..."

"Hyuga." Lin Qing raised his hand, signaling her not to say anything more.

His gaze still lingered on Fujiwara Chika. There was a hint of inquiry and tolerance in his deep eyes, as if he could see through all her thoughts.

"Our organization does require strict discipline, and you've done a great job." Lin Qing first praised Kaguya's work, then changed the subject, "But at the same time, we also need fresh blood and different voices."

He paused, his tone calm but with a convincing force: "Anyone who has a pure curiosity about the truth of the world and has the courage to face the unknown should be given a chance to understand and make a choice."

When Kaguya heard this, her brows slightly frowned. She seemed to want to say something, but when she met Lin Qing's calm gaze, she finally swallowed her words back.

She understood what the president meant.

but……

"President, Fujiwara-san is... just an ordinary high school girl, and, excuse me for being blunt, she is sometimes... " Kaguya chose her words carefully, trying to express her concern. She knew too well how out of touch her friend was. Letting her join the foundation would be like releasing a husky into a pack of wolves, no, into a factory that required precision equipment to operate.

"Trouble maker?" Lin Qing finished the second half of the sentence for her, with a faint smile on his lips.

Kaguya's cheeks flushed slightly, a bit embarrassed, but she nodded, "Yes, I'm so sorry, President."

Lin Qing waved his hand indifferently, and his gaze turned to Fujiwara Chika again, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

"Sometimes, a little trouble can bring unexpected surprises, right?"

He took two steps forward and stopped in front of Fujiwara Chika.

The distance was very close, so close that Qianhua could smell the faint, pleasant and refreshing scent on him, like a pine forest on a sunny day after snow.

Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Lin Qing slowly extended his right hand, his bony fingers appearing exceptionally slender and powerful under the light. "Fujiwara Chika-san," his voice held a strange, magical power. "In the name of the Chairman of the SCP Foundation, I formally approve your application to join the team."

"From this moment on, you will become a temporary employee of the Foundation, with an observation period of one month."

"As for whether you can truly stay and become one of us after a month, that depends on your own performance."

The man's voice was calm and clear, and every word struck Fujiwara Chika's heart accurately.

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes suddenly widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Lin Qing's unquestionable profile, she finally let out a very light sigh. Then, she lowered her head deeply, her voice filled with a hint of imperceptible depression and absolute obedience.

"...Yes, the president's department."

Fujiwara Chika was completely stunned.

She...she really...passed?

Not only did he preserve his memory and avoid being blown silly by that scary "hair dryer", but he actually joined this "secret society" that sounds super powerful and super mysterious?

The huge surprise exploded in her mind like fireworks, making her feel dizzy for a moment.

She looked at the hand stretched out to her, as if she saw the door to a new world.

Almost without hesitation, Fujiwara Chika stretched out her hand and held Lin Qing's hand tightly.

His palm was warm, dry, and full of strength, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.

"Thank you, President!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and a brilliant smile blossomed on her face, like a sunflower in full bloom. "I will definitely work very hard! I will definitely not let you down!"

She looked up at Lin Qing. Her pink eyes, usually filled with all sorts of fantastical thoughts, now shone with a new, brilliant light called "admiration" and "yearning."

Chapter 90: Chairman’s Afternoon! The Fujiwara Family’s “Forbidden Talk”

On the top floor of the foundation headquarters, in Lin Qing’s private lounge.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the magnificent sight of the entire underground base. Countless precision instruments are flashing with faint blue light, like the heart of a giant steel beast sleeping underground. Each one of them demonstrates a technological power that transcends the times.

However, the world inside and outside the window are two completely different worlds.

The lights in the room are bright and soft, the thick carpet absorbs all the subtle sounds, and the air is filled with a light and elegant incense, isolating itself from all the noise and coldness of the outside world.

This is the most central and private area of ​​the entire foundation.

Apart from Lin Qing himself, only those who have his approval are qualified to set foot in this peaceful territory.

After successively solving Tomie's infinite proliferation crisis and the potential threat of the ultimate creature Kaz, two S-level containment incidents that were enough to subvert the world, Lin Qing finally got a rare opportunity to take a break and completely relax.

He did not choose to sit on the black throne that symbolized supreme power and absolute control.

At this moment, he was reclining comfortably on the large and soft leather sofa in the corner of the lounge in an extremely lazy posture.

To be more precise, his head was resting comfortably on a soft and elastic place.

Yotsuya Miko was wearing a simple and elegant pure white cotton dress, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders as softly as the finest silk, which made her already beautiful face even more pure and lovable.

She sat upright on the edge of the sofa, her face, which usually looked pale due to long-term witnessing of spirits, now had a touching, light blush like the blooming of a cherry blossom.

The girl's body seemed a little stiff due to slight tension, like a frightened deer.

But when she lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the man who put his entire weight on her and rested his head on her legs, in those deep eyes that had been soaked in endless fear, there was only overflowing tenderness and attachment that was almost turning into substance.

She stretched out her hand carefully, holding a delicate silver fork between her slender white fingertips.

In the fruit plate, various fruits are carefully cut into small pieces of even size, sparkling with a moist and attractive luster under the soft light.

She used a small fork to gently pick up a piece of cherry tomato that was crystal clear and looked like red agate.

She gently and firmly handed the small fruit to Lin Qing's lips with an almost imperceptible trembling.

Lin Qing's eyes were lightly closed, and he seemed to have fallen into a peaceful light sleep.
