Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

She gently pushed her empty wine glass a few centimeters away and continued to tell her story about this "friend".

"We all know that the banquets of large enterprises or groups in White Eagle are hypocritical, dirty, and materialistic. On the surface, they are successful people exchanging their experiences and reaching friendly cooperation. In reality, they are just ways to fine-tune the market after negotiation to maximize profits, how to transfer market conflicts, how to achieve monopoly or anti-monopoly, and even politicians come here to garner votes or collect 'private taxes', colluding with businessmen. But no matter what the atmosphere is like that night, or what people's purpose is, Nekitiya is always a highly respected guest."

Taking the freshly poured red wine from RPK, she took a small sip; the story she was about to tell wasn't over yet.

"These parties are essentially no different from casinos, at least people's pursuits are the same: the satisfaction of making a fortune, the thrill of gambling, the elegance of a night of passion. The socializing of the powerful is inherently a high-stakes gamble, but no one will gamble on Nekitiya, no one will place bets on her, and she doesn't befriend anyone. But now, she's very interested in your boss..."

He did gain a basic understanding of the other party's identity, and a general outline appeared in RPK's mind.

She tentatively asked, "Then, given her high moral character, love of music, and frequent attendance at high-society dinners, perhaps we should address her as 'Madam'?"

"Do not."

Shina shook her head.

“Miss Nekitija is the same age as me.”

"Yeah, I knew it... Wait, what?"

???

What did Se-na just say?

P.S.: I'm back! The Dragon Boat Festival holiday has finally started!

Attached is a picture of Miss Nekitiya.

(The full image is too explicit to display)

365. Tensions are high. 1

"Excuse my bluntness, but do you mean that Miss Nekitia looks as young as you?"

Based solely on Sena's own skills and descriptions, she always thought that Nekitiya would be Sena's teacher or a highly respected and elegant lady.

"Yes."

It turned out to be someone as young as Shina...

Surprise was perfectly normal. To prove her point, Miss Se-na, with a mischievous grin, took a photograph out of her coat.

"Take a look at her photos from a performance."

Even while receiving the photos, RPK was still somewhat skeptical, but...

"very beautiful......"

Even with her strikingly dim eyes, her black dress and gold headdress exuded an air of elegance and nobility, and even with just a cool smile, she still gave viewers an indescribable sense of amazement.

RPK had never seen this style of dress before. He was amazed and had no other thoughts. It must be said that it suited the owner's temperament perfectly.

Besides "beautiful," she couldn't think of any other words to describe it for the time being...

Even though her eyes had lost their color, the waving command post seemed to become her eyes, leading herself and the audience into an invisible sea of ​​flowers.

With her snow-white long hair and dark gold dress, the foreman embodied the image of this seemingly lifeless yet exquisitely beautiful conductor.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was free from the chaotic and disordered palette of the world that she was able to truly experience the essence of music, allowing everything in the world to become an instrument for her to play.

Perhaps, for a musician like this, not being able to see isn't entirely a bad thing?

Perhaps because of the precedents of Rosalia, Yingque, and Shina, RPK would have a strange feeling whenever other beautiful women approached Luo Fan.

Shina chuckled twice and put the photo away: "Of course, think about it, we are quite famous among the powerful and wealthy, so we must have some of our own methods. And by cooperating with us, you will definitely not suffer any losses."

"So we're here to talk about cooperation, right?"

Amidst the busyness, RPK poured himself a glass of fruit wine.

Does this mean that the true intentions have been revealed?

"Of course, that's exactly what I meant, but unfortunately Mr. Luo isn't here, so I'll have to have you convey it, after all...?"

Before she could finish speaking, the girl pointed her slender finger at the UMP45 next to a nearby table.

"She recorded it all, didn't she?"

......

RPK didn't answer, but his smile seemed to indicate tacit agreement.

There's no point in lying to smart people, especially since, although Se-na may seem frivolous at times, she's far smarter than she appears.

Ke Shina shrugged, nonchalantly: "It's fine, let's continue. Mr. Luo will find out sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't hurt to say more."

From the moment Se-na entered the bar, the work had already begun silently...

RPK glanced at the executioner blocking people in front of the bar and smiled, "Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Now, let's continue."

She pressed a button, and in an instant, the dark bar became bright, and the speakers above began playing Mr. Yiruma's piano music.

Only now did RPK turn on the small light in front of the bar, take out the drinks and tools, and only now did she truly treat Se-na as a customer.

After all, bosses prefer customers who don't cause trouble, right?

"A glass of Tequila Sunrise, please."

"Hold on......"

RPK took out the relevant tools and began to mix the ice in the shaker, mimicking Luo Fan's fancy techniques. The ice cubes in the shaker made a rustling sound, and the conversation between the two finally became friendly and kind.

Shina's posture became more casual, and she began to prop her head up with her hand, waiting for her tequila sunrise.

Of course, we can also take this opportunity to continue our conversation about what just happened...

"What I want to say is very simple: cooperation. We can provide you with a lot of convenience, including helping to solve certain 'tricky' problems. In this respect, you will definitely be the biggest beneficiaries."

"So, what are the conditions?"

RPK, with his back to the girl, searches for pomegranate syrup in the cabinet.

"Just like I said last time, we want to stay in this empty room so we can better negotiate with you, and we also get three free bar bands. Isn't that a good deal?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the busy bartender suddenly turned around and looked at Se-na with a strange smile.

"I suppose you're not short of money, and you probably don't need servants either. High society is your stage, so why would you want to confine yourself to a small bar?"

The girls were bound to have doubts about this, and Luo Fan was no exception.

but......

“As I said, the focus is not on you, but on Mr. Luo. There’s something interesting about him, including Rosalia, who came here because of that.”

......

RPK closed his eyes slightly, turned around, and shrugged indifferently: "Alright, I won't ask what the interesting point is for now, but as for the specifics of consideration, we'll have to wait for Mr. Luo to return..."

At this point, it's better to choose a relatively ambiguous answer. After all, choosing her only means that Luo Fan has learned about Shi Na's sales pitch before Luo Fan does. As for how to decide, it's up to Luo Fan to consider.

Shina waved her hand, casually spun the bow once, leaving a white afterimage.

“I know, but sales is part of the job, so I have to be dedicated. After all, it concerns the future of all of us, including the life of your dear Mr. Luo.”

......

"First of all, I'm quite interested in the future you're talking about, but can I interpret the second half of your sentence as a threat?"

This is another very interesting topic, in many ways.

Just then, the Tequila Sunrise was also ready, and RPK casually pushed it to the other person.

The other person took the glass, sipped it lightly, and then said...

"Believe it or not, we are all here for the same reason: me, Miss Nekitia, Miss Kalman from our orchestra, and Rosalia. It just seems you are completely unaware of this..."

The bow gently tapped the wine glass, producing a melodious tinkling sound, just like the sweet and melodious voice of a young girl.

RPK did not respond, but his expression indicated that the other party should continue speaking.

"However, it's better not to know, to avoid unnecessary trouble. And don't ask me why I don't tell you, so you can prepare in advance or anything. Believe me, you're completely incapable of handling this in your current state, and you probably won't believe our explanation anyway, after all, this world is quite surreal..."

366. Tensions are high. 2

She took another sip to moisten her throat.

“More strange people will come near you in the future, which is normal. For now, you just need to do what you want to do. As for the rest, as Rosalia said, we will take care of it for you and tell you when the time is right.”

......

"So, we should actually thank you?"

RPK raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat doubtful.

“That’s true. Also, didn’t Rosalia say that she came here to save Mr. Luo’s life?”

RPK nodded: "Yes, we had a minor conflict with her. As for now, although it hasn't been said publicly, we've most likely reached a cooperative agreement with Mr. Luo, and..."

She rummaged through the drawer for a while, then took out a fruit platter and placed it in front of Shina.

“We tried to control Rosalia’s movements, but she was much stronger than she appeared. Do you have an explanation for that?”

RPK doesn't believe that Shina knows the full extent of their strength, but the mere fact that Rosalia is stronger than she appears might be enough to elicit some information...

"That's normal, because Rosalia isn't as weak as she looks. As for the specifics, I'm sorry I can't tell you, I also have to consider my own safety."

Without any hesitation, Shina picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth.

"You think I was so reserved when I first met her here? It's because I was wary of her identity. And what she said about saving Mr. Luo's life is completely true. Although she's not the only one who can do it, modern medicine alone can't save Mr. Luo's life. And the other people who can save Mr. Luo haven't found this place yet. Rosalia got there first, but this was her opportunity all along. She has a natural advantage."

"What do you mean? Why is modern medicine helpless with Mr. Luo's problem? And since his headache last time, Mr. Luo doesn't seem to have experienced any further adverse symptoms."

Regarding medical issues, the girls weren't too worried because Mrs. Grey and Pascal were there. They believed that as long as the person was alive, they could be saved. The only possible problem was the lack of medicine and equipment. However, the other party said that even Mrs. Grey might be helpless in this regard.

But is it possible that the other party was unaware of Mrs. Grey's abilities, which is why they had such thoughts?

Shina shook her head: "Mr. Luo's recovery was entirely due to the 'medicine' provided by Rosalia. Do you think that Rosalia's arrival caused Mr. Luo to develop these symptoms, or is it a coincidence? No, not at all. She came at the perfect time, and she provided timely help. If it weren't for her, Mr. Luo would have died the day he developed symptoms."

......

Not only RPK, but all the girls who were listening in the bar, including MDR and others who were observing the situation from upstairs through listening devices, were stunned.

If what Shina said is true, then they almost indirectly caused Luo Fan's death.

......

"Rosalia is not a doctor, but she is indeed capable of treating this condition. It is not some intractable disease, but a condition unique to this world. It just hasn't fully manifested yet; it's only a matter of time."

The fruit platter seemed to be of very good quality, and Shina looked quite happy eating it.

RPK's expression was no longer as natural as it had been at the beginning. Even if they couldn't rule out the possibility that Shina's statement was a conspiracy, since it concerned Luo Fan's life, they had to weigh the weight of her words.

"So what are these symptoms?"

She continued trying to ask.

But Se-na simply shook her finger.

"???" RPK was completely confused.

Even Se-na's smile faded slightly.

"Let me put it this way, not only Umbrella, but the entire Union has been trying to study this situation, but that was in the past. Research on this situation began in 1994, but it was forced to stop due to various factors such as the level of technology and the international situation. At the 51st session of the Standing Committee in 1996, Gaul proposed to pick up the research again, but it was rejected by the Union with four votes."

(PS: The historical context in this book differs from reality. Even though the era in the book is modern, the level of technology is not the same as our modern era. In the future, I will create a timeline of major international events to explain the historical experience of this world, including the connection between the end of this book and the next book. This timeline of major events will be used to explain the historical experience of this world.)

"So, research on this situation is completely at a standstill?"

"Yes, the Allied Powers have long since stopped researching this project. If you pay close attention to the current international situation, you'll notice that the relationship between the White Eagle and Ross is gradually deteriorating. The defense presence on both sides of the Bering Strait has begun to deepen, and in order to cope with the sanctions and suppression from the entire Northern Alliance (NAUO), Ross is already looking for reliable allies. Right now, no country has the time to study such a complex symptom because it is irrelevant and there are very few relevant records, so it has naturally been abandoned. However, Umbrella has secretly resumed research on this project."

It seemed the joke was over, and Se-na was seriously explaining the situation to RPK.

RPK asked incredulously, "Wait, how do you know about the situation inside Umbrella?"

“I said, Miss Nekitia, Rosalia, and I are all different from what you see on the surface. We know and can do much more than you can imagine. It’s not without reason that we found you.”

......

"So, you mean that to solve Mr. Law's problem, we still need to go to Umbrella, just because they are investigating this situation?"

"No, no, no, I already said that Rosalia has a way to solve this. You just need to do as she says. She won't interfere in your affairs. She will only help Mr. Luo solve the problem when necessary."
