Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

……

All the while, he was fighting to put an end to it all.

A pitiful sense of responsibility bound him to the identity of stationmaster...or Bai Yu.

How stupid.

Sure enough, the employees recruited by Lobotomy Corporation are more or less mentally abnormal.

Either they break down too easily, or they like to empathize too much or suppress their own emotions...

But that's true.

After all, even at the beginning, the skills test in the onboarding report already included a mental test on employees' empathy and mental state.

Although this is one of the methods used by the headquarters to better screen out abnormalities and drive employees crazy, no one can deny that most of the people who joined the Lobotomy Corporation in this test have this good quality...

"Xiao Ke, do you need to rest a little longer?"

At the same moment Bai Yu took action.

In another ruin supported by broken wooden boards, Aika, holding a magic bullet, also leaned over and entered the "infirmary" used to accommodate unconscious people.

"Those inexplicable explosions outside seem to have stopped now, so you can take a nap..."

She was mumbling such good news.

But the first moment she stepped into this place, her eyes fell on another colleague who was gently stroking the sleeping little girl.

Although it is an infirmary, on this dusty floor, I am afraid that only Bai Yu and his younger generation have the leisure to take care of all the unconscious people here.

She arranged everyone in this small space in an orderly manner, and carefully wiped the dust off their faces.

"Aika-senpai?"

And now, Komini was even a little surprised by Aika's appearance.

After all, now, the only people left here are Aica, Faust, and herself.

They did not set out to find a land-based platform like Iris and the uncle, but chose to stay where they were to protect the mining residents who had no combat awareness.

"You...stayed by their side all the time?"

But to be honest, Aika is the one who should be surprised!

Their division of labor has always been one person searching and rescuing, one person taking care, and one person keeping watch.

She thought she had given the easiest job to her junior, but she didn't expect...

"Xiao Ke has always been a very gentle person."

Aijia looked at Komini in front of her and finally could only smile with relief.

"Me? Really?"

"Yes."

After hearing Komini's unconscious words, she really couldn't help it. Just as Komini was stroking the head of the girl who was forced into a coma, Aika also put her hands on her head like a chain.

"Whether it's just joining the company... or after being transferred to the Security Department."

"If you can make it back alive this time, I'll have Bai Yu give you the new W-class EGO that your security department extracted from the body of the Dead Butterfly Funeral Ceremony!!"

"That Bai Yu guy is really something. He actually dragged it out for so long..."

The EGO they were equipped with had not been changed for a long time, from the HE-class Bloody Butcher Knife to the WAW-class Holy Proclamation.

……

This can be regarded as a shotgun exchange for a cannon.

But Comini didn't look very happy about this.

She just said "hmm" softly.

"What's going on? What's going on? Why does our lovely little descendant look so miserable again?"

Aijia smiled and put her face close to Komini's cheek.

If we can touch it, then this cold world will probably feel warmer.

But the younger generation in their family stopped her with gentle words.

"Shh... Aika-senpai, you'll wake Min up..."

"How cold!"

"Ha ha……"

Looking at senior Aika who looked aggrieved, Komini smiled awkwardly.

She didn't mean to interrupt the affection between herself and Aika-senpai.

only……

She knew it too.

The ground beneath the ground is still moving.

Senior Aika only wanted to release herself and her depression, so she chatted with her in this situation.

317

Chapter 317 To those who are scarred.

"Are you worried about that Bai Yu guy?"

In fact, as soon as you open your mouth to talk about such a topic, the relaxed and happy atmosphere will disappear.

Komini thought calmly.

But now, none of them really mentioned this matter tacitly...

During this brief silence, Aika, as a senior, simply sat down beside her.

"Hey, how about we guess how long it will take for W Company's reinforcements to arrive?"

And when she opened her mouth, it was another cold joke...

"Well... then I guess no one will come."

Komini replied with a smile, her fingers slowly running through the soft hair of the little girl in her arms.

Even if W Company realized the seriousness of this matter, they would only focus all their efforts on ensuring the safety of the nest. As for the back alley...

"No one in the nest would want to protect someone in the back alley."

"Yeah……?"

"Well, I used to live in the back alley of No. 11, too, Aika-senpai..."

Komini raised her eyes with a smile, and her pupils showed an extraordinary calmness when she looked at Aika.

If the people in the nest really would lend a helping hand, then during her childhood, she wouldn't have seen those pieces of body parts and flesh piled up in the corners of the alleys on the way to school, with no one paying attention to them...

This situation is the same in every back alley in the city.

You can only climb up. Even if you occasionally feel a little bit of sympathy for others for some reason, it will soon be forgotten for various reasons.

Those in high positions who feel happy will not show mercy, and those in the middle who feel tired will not stay...

"Xiao Ke... not entirely."

But is this how things actually develop?

In the somewhat lonely voice of Aijia, Komini finally discovered with some surprise——

Aika-senpai looks very disappointed.

'Was there any offense?'

"that……"

At this moment, Komini really spoke in a panic. She thought, although she didn't know why, maybe it would be better to apologize first.

only.

Sure enough, she heard her senior continue speaking.

"Hey, Xiao Ke, I... used to live in W Nest..."

"sorry!"

"No, no! I'm not asking you to apologize!"

What Komini said was true, it was originally a fabricated false hope that she blurted out.

Now, it’s just that Aika herself really wants to refute.

Ok……

It's just about the callousness of everyone in the nest.

"I'm still standing by your side... Haha, Bai Yu... didn't he also come from a nest..."

Aijia stared at the marks her fingers had made in the ashes on the ground, and now she hated herself for being so clumsy with her words.

When the words came to an end, he felt Komini's serious and apologetic gaze.

The words that came out of her mouth became dry.

I can’t express what I want to say…

'Perhaps a few sentimental remarks are in order?'

Aika suddenly realized this.

But to say these things, she really needs more courage.

"..."

"Xiao Ke, do you want to know my story in the Control Department?"

After a few seconds, she finally spoke, realizing that she should probably say something to seem less - 'hypocritical'.

But... right now.

Suddenly, the earth tremors began again.

More dust from the wooden boards above also fell down, making a noise.

It felt like another round of saturation bombardment landed not far from them...

……

"Haha...it looks like it's not over yet?"

Several seconds passed in this dim 'infirmary', but the ground was shaking and there was a clear awkwardness in the air.

I'm afraid it will be hard to regain the courage that was interrupted...

Aika scratched her face uncomfortably and simply stood up amidst the commotion.

"Aika-senpai, are you leaving?"

The voice of the little girl that she and Bai Yu shared was softly emerging beneath her.

"Well, sorry, just pretend nothing happened..."

"Sorry……"

"Oh, I told you it's not your fault!"

Putting the rifle strap of the magic bullet on her back, Aika rubbed her junior's head vigorously again.

She is the one who needs to feel sorry.

But there's still plenty of time. As long as I go back this time, I'll always have the chance to say what I want to say...

"Xiao Fu, aren't you going to keep watch?"

Now, Aijia has recovered to her energetic state.

When she heard the clear sound of footsteps outside the door reaching the door frame, she also greeted the figure wandering outside the door.

"Ok?"
