Cyberpunk, but urban

"This reward... So these stupid kids went to the library."

The reward written on the invitation letter that Ye Lan picked up was not a book, but a line of [Closing Personnel of the Weird Office].

Ye Lan was amused by this line of words. He had said it so clearly, but someone actually fell for it and went to the library. It can only be said that these employees of the frontal lobe company under his command have been really idle recently.

So what happened to these idle lobotomy workers after they walked through the library's portal?

Then we need to turn the time back a little bit...

"Wow - is this the library? It's so beautiful!"

Lingling was the first to enter the library portal and the first to walk into the entrance hall. The disorderly bookshelves and the extravagant decorations in the hall immediately attracted her full attention.

She leaned against a wall and carefully looked at the decorations on the library wall. Not only did she not notice when her colleagues entered the library, she also did not notice when Angela, the library director, came to the library lobby.

"Dear guests, welcome."

It was not until Angela greeted them that Lingling jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on and turned to look in Angela's direction.

“Eh?! Ehhhhhhh!!!”

Although she had changed her hair and clothes, Lingling, a former level 5 employee, still recognized Angela. Her scream instantly put the colleagues who were looking around into a state of combat.

But soon, she reacted and stood in front of her colleagues, "Put down your weapons! This, this is Miss Angela!"

After hearing Lingling's words, those employees who had communicated with Angela's copy in the branch immediately put away their weapons, while other employees with lower ranks also put down their weapons after they put down their weapons.

"Why is Miss Angela here?" "I knew that Boss Ye Lan had no good intentions!" "Oh no, this library is not the company's new headquarters, right?"

In an instant, a chaotic discussion broke out among the cleaners in front of Lingling. All kinds of speculations were thrown out in front of Angela, without considering whether it would make Angela dissatisfied.

Lingling turned to look at Angela with an embarrassed look on her face. "Well, Ms. Angela... they and I are both employees of the branch. Suddenly seeing you appear in front of everyone in human form, we are all a little panicked..."

"It's okay. I think you are the employees that Ye Lan gathered from various branches of the Lobelia Corporation." Angela had a faint smile on her face. If Malkuth and the others were here at this moment, they would definitely recognize the smile on Angela's face. It was almost exactly the same as the smile that Ye Lan had when he wanted to cheat people.

"Did Ye Lan say anything to you before you signed the invitation letter and came to the library?" Angela asked Lingling.

"Well, that... Mr. Ye Lan told us that it's safe for us to come to the library. In addition to this... oh yes, he also said that it would be good for us to come and take a look."

The poor child, who had no idea what Angela was thinking at the moment, spoke softly, telling Angela exactly what Ye Lan had said to them that morning.

"Okay, I see. So, since you are here as guests of the library, you should walk around as guests of the library should."

Angela pointed to the door with the word "Reception Room" written on it and said to Lingling, "As long as normal guests pass the test in there, they can take books from the library. As for you, if you succeed, I won't give you books, but if you fail, you don't have to become part of the library's collection."

Then, before the employees of the Forebrain Company branch of the Weird Idea Agency could react, they were all sent into the reception room by Angela.

Roland and Angelica, who were supposed to be waiting in the reception room to receive the guests, were pulled out of the room by Angela.

Roland looked puzzled at the suddenly changing environment around him and asked Angela, "Why did you call us out? Can't we even handle the new guests?"

"No, it's just that the guests this time are a little special. They are employees that Ye Lan rescued from various branches of the Lobotomy Corporation."

"Oh?" Angelica also showed interest. "Angela, do you want us to train them?"

"I guess so, but this should be Ye Lan's idea."

Chapter 230. I knew that Boss Ye Lan had bad intentions

"Aba Aba..."

Sitting in the lounge on the general floor, Lingling's mind was completely blank.

About half an hour ago, she and her colleagues in the office were teleported into an amazingly spacious room in the blink of an eye.

After a short period of confusion, they successfully regained their professionalism and remembered what Miss Angela had told them before, that they should enter the library's reception room to participate in the trial like ordinary guests.

"I say, we should have entered the reception room, but...what is the trial?"

Although he was filled with despair that he had been tricked by Boss Ye Lan, Huck still entered a fighting stance and looked around at the furnishings in the reception room.

However, there was no one in the empty reception room, and his cautious actions towards the unknown enemy were just in vain.

After such careful investigation, the finishers from Ye Lan's Weird Office finally confirmed that there were no enemies in the reception room, nor were there any puzzles that needed to be solved by them.

The finishing personnel who had temporarily relaxed soon sat down on the ground under Lingling's helpless gaze and began to complain about Boss Ye Lan for cheating them.

At this time, Roland and Angelica, who had met with Angela and decided how to deal with these employees of the Forebrain Corporation branch, finally returned to the reception room.

As soon as they opened their eyes, the two senior finishers saw that this group of people looked unruly.

"I think I know why Brother Ye Lan wants us to teach these young people a lesson..." Roland, who couldn't bear to watch these people's performance, sighed and complained to his wife in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, weren't you just as unruly when you were their age?" Angelica teased, then clapped her hands to draw the attention of the people who were finishing up the work at the Weird Idea Agency.

"Hello, Ye Lan's finishing men. I think you must be wondering what the so-called trial of the library is, right?"

Angelica asked the employees of the Forebrain Corporation branch the questions they wanted to know. After whispering to each other for a while, these guys pushed Lingling out as their spokesperson.

"Hello, both of you... My name is Lingling, and I'm the team leader of the Weird Idea Agency. May I ask what exactly the trial is? How do we get started?"

The young Lingling responded to Angelica very politely. With her large round-frame glasses, she was able to arouse other people's maternal instincts.

Angelica, who was still breastfeeding and raising her lovely little daughter, was at the peak of her maternal instinct, and Lingling immediately won her love.

"Haha, you are such a polite kid... Your test is actually very simple~ Just... defeat me and my husband."

However, Angelica would not let them off in this show of power. When Lingling led the finishing team to take up fighting positions, Angelica and Roland put on their most iconic gloves and masks in front of them.

Instantly, a shocking gasp was heard in the reception room.

You know, what Ye Lan's office lacks the most is all kinds of newspapers and magazines. These employees who changed their careers to become finishers have read all the consultations in various newspapers and magazines in the city, big and small.

Although there were two people at the moment, people like Lingling who listened to Ye Lan's words and read all the newspapers and magazines knew exactly what the gloves and the mask represented.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Ye Lan has talked to you a lot about the 'characteristics' aspect." Roland picked up Durandal and smiled, confirming Lingling and the others' judgment.

"Mr. Ye Lan never told us that Pitch Black Silence is actually two people... But this does explain why the information about you two recorded in various magazines always has conflicting information."

Lingling chuckled and ended their conversation before the battle.

Although they only had less than three teams at this time, they had a lot of ego equipment. In addition to Lingling's own complete set of Waw-level egos that included weapons and armor, Hake and another captain also had a He-level ego weapon each.

In addition to ego, with Ye Lan's unremitting support, everyone else also has tailor-made workshop equipment in their hands. Although they are all only ninth-level finishers, if a real fight breaks out, even finishers at the same level as Salvador might fall into their hands.

"In any case, don't even think about winning, just hold on first..."

As the person with the highest rank in the company, Lingling naturally became the leader among them, and she immediately gave clear and accurate instructions to everyone.

However, facing a couple with a "special" and a super-first-class finisher's combat power, the finishers from the Weird Idea Agency who entered the library this time still made a mistake in their judgment of the combat power of Roland and the others.

In order to let these young people know the difference, Angelica and Roland almost did not hold back. In just a moment, the space between the two of them and the employees was crossed by the two of them, and their weapons instantly appeared between the necks of the unlucky guys who were the first targets.

Roland patted the man who was finishing off the enemy with his sword and said, "If this were a real fight, both of you would have lost your heads by now."

"Okay, you two just go and watch over there." Angelica let go of the unlucky guy in her hand and let him and the guy under Roland lean against the wall of the reception room.

"So strong..."

Lingling tightened the weapon in her hand, and the ego equipment materialized on her body under her control. She gained combat experience from the Lobotomy Corporation's version of the ego equipment, and charged at Roland and Angelica with the weapon covered by the ego.

"You are very brave, and your movements are perfect with the help of your ego." Roland commented as he blocked Lingling's attack with one hand: "But you seem to have forgotten that you are the commander of this battle."

Following Roland's instructions, Lingling turned around and saw that her team was easily dealt with by Angelica. She could only walk dejectedly to the wall and keep company with the two unlucky guys at the beginning.

The next second, Roland's new reminder came into her ears: "The second thing is, never listen to the enemy's words."

After being hit hard by the slap, Lingling could only go under the wall and be a bystander.

Chapter 231. Draw Eagle Horn today, draw Moon Plan tomorrow

The outcome of this battle was predetermined. It was impossible for the finishers from the Weird Idea Agency who had signed the invitation to the library to defeat Roland and Angelica.

After the commander Lingling was determined to have died in battle and ran dejectedly to the wall to watch the battle, the remaining people who were doing the finishing work naturally couldn't hold on for long.

"Aba Aba..."

After the battle, the stunned finishers sat scattered in the lounge on the main floor, making a series of dull noises.

Roland and Angelica's child, little Theresa, had just woken up not long ago. At this moment, Angelica had gone back to her and Roland's room to take care of her own child.

The only one who stayed here with these finishers was Roland, who had a happy smile on his face.

"To be honest, you guys are actually pretty good. It's just that..." Roland kept everyone in suspense until everyone looked over, then he continued, "It's just that there's still a big gap between you and the top finishers."

"Ahahaha...we can't compare with you, a legendary finisher with a 'special' title~" Lingling said, scratching her cheek.

At this time, an assistant librarian from the general classification level brought Roland the latest news that Angela had just learned from Ye Lan.

"Uh... I have some bad news for you. Your boss Ye Lan said that the office will probably be closed in the next few days, so you need to stay in the library for a few more days."

After listening to the news brought by the assistant librarian, Roland repeated it in full to the people who were present at the Weird Idea Agency.

"Eh?!"

The finishing staff, who had just focused their attention on Roland, shouted at the same time, which shook the world. In an instant, the assistant librarians on the entire floor looked over.

These assistant librarians who were once employees of the Lobotomy Corporation headquarters were all their seniors. Being stared at like this, all the employees of the Lobotomy Corporation branches became silent in an instant.

"Oh, by the way, this is good news for you as well." Roland waved to the assistant librarians and told them to go back to their work.

Then, he continued to say to the finishing staff: "Look at the bright side. You can participate in the library work next and learn something from your predecessors in the headquarters of your former company."

This is indeed good news for Lingling and her colleagues. Compared to their branch employees, the employees at the headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation are the ones who have undergone the complete World Wings training.

Although the work they do in the Lobotomy Corporation cycle is more like high-level cannon fodder, each of them, once brought to the city, is considered a senior backbone directly under the leader of the Lobotomy Corporation, Ayin.

According to Thumb's logic, even the second boss under Thumb has to treat these employees of the frontal lobe company who have survived to become assistant librarians with courtesy.

As for Ye Lan who returned to his own office, why did he inform Angela to let his finishing touches stay in the library for a few more days so that he could start a new business.

That was what happened after Ye Lan saw the invitation letter sent by Angela and learned where the finishing staff in his firm had gone.

After Yuli, who was suffering from teleportation vertigo, finally vomited the last bit of food in her stomach and was helped by Irene to sit down in the living room, Ye Lan received a call.

A call from a color level closer who thought his sister was dead and went crazy while listening to the pianist's music.

"Algaria? Looks like you completed my commission~"

As soon as Ye Lan finished speaking, Algaria on the other end of the phone replied anxiously: "I have completed your commission, and all the employees who are willing to join your firm are on the way... When can you tell me the news about Angelica?!"

"Well, don't be anxious. Now, go find an invitation letter from the library, and then come to my place by yourself. Remember, you have to come by yourself~"

After Ye Lan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Algaria to say anything else.

After a while, Yuli, who was slowly sipping a cup of warm sugar water, asked Ye Lan, "Is the person that Canglan Canxiang is looking for actually the Angelica we saw in the library before?"

"Yes, he is Angelica's brother."

Ye Lan answered Yuli's question, and then signaled Irene to put up a sign saying the office was temporarily closed. Before they could solve the problem of Mr. Canglan Canxiang, their Yixiang Office would have to suspend business for a while.

"If he is Ms. Angelica's brother, we don't have to close the office, right?" Yuli continued to ask after slurping down half a cup of warm water and slightly easing the discomfort in her stomach.

"Well... our Mr. Algaria had always believed that his dear sister Angelica was dead. He was suddenly struck by such a great blow, and then by the pianist's music, and he went insane."

"Eh?! Is he mentally ill?"

It's no wonder that Yuli was so surprised. When she received this "special" gentleman before, Algaria behaved very politely throughout the whole process, and there was no sign that there was anything wrong with his brain.

"Well, if you saw the symphony orchestra he formed, you'd know how crazy he is." Ye Lan shrugged and ended the topic about Algaria.

Although Algaria was furious after Ye Lan unilaterally hung up the phone on him, he was unable to vent his anger immediately because Ye Lan had used Angelica's news to control him.

"An invitation to the library, huh? Ha, I hope you can still keep up this attitude and fool me when I appear in front of you."

After putting on his coat, Algaria picked up his sickle and walked out the door. Since the finisher had asked him to go to his office alone, he would set off now and find an invitation to the library on the way.

"Lord Algaria, where are you going?"

Pluto, who noticed that Algaria was about to leave, used his "magic" to appear in front of him and respectfully stopped Algaria as a servant.

Algaria put on a smile as usual and said to Pluto, "Ah~ It's Pluto. It's just a small matter. You don't have to accompany me."

"This……"

"Pfft... My Pluto, you are not worried that something will happen to me, right? Relax, I will call you again in two days."

Chapter 232. Blue Reverberation's Second Visit

Three days later, in the living room of the Yixiang Office.

"I have come with the invitation letter from the library. Where is Mr. Ye Lan, the representative of your firm?" Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Algaria asked the maid Irene who was serving him black tea.

After placing the tea set on the coffee table, Irene took two steps back and bowed respectfully to Algaria. Then she explained to him, "Mr. Ye Lan just took Miss Luna out. Please wait for a moment. I have already informed him."
