Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"Even if it's just a sneak peek from behind."

Angela is not willing to give up yet!

……

"Can……"

"Eh?"

But the actual development seemed to be beyond her and Makuku's expectations - a few seconds later, Hokma didn't say anything, but just agreed so easily.

He didn't even offer any explanation or conditions; the white box just sighed and shook its head.

Did the foundation make some kind of deal with him?

This might be the only possibility Angela could think of.

It's like adding a beer vending machine to every department. According to the usual script drawn up by Lobotomy Corporation and Ain, they would definitely not agree...

But now, Angela didn't have time to think so much, she just took the holographic device handed to her by Hokma.

"You have 78 minutes until the employees in the records vault wake up. You'd better hurry."

"..."

Angela was still stunned at first, but after hearing this, she hugged the device tightly and ran away quickly.

In the vast white space, the only sound that could be heard was the brisk "thump thump" of footsteps.

Hokma watched her - saving most of the time, Angela directly found a small room where no one was and turned on the holographic device.

"Oh! It turns out Bai Yu isn't an employee of our headquarters. I was wondering why I never saw him again."

Makuku's voice came from behind again. As a 19-year-old female researcher (in the past), her burning gossip heart made her follow him until now.

But Angela didn't react, her golden gaze fixed on the man in the center of the surveillance camera...

Yes.

Bai Yu.

He seemed to have just returned to the branch from outside.

"It's still the same as before... There seems to be no one around."

Angela was completely relieved. She was still the same. After seeing Bai Yu on the surveillance camera, she felt a little relieved.

but……

The feeling of relaxation quickly disappeared.

He reached the end of the corridor in the control department, where a lady with blue hair and a baseball cap began to circle around him.

'who is she?!'

Even Angela herself didn't notice that one of her hands was tightly clutching her suit.

"Pfft..."

This is the sound of soda.

It was Makuku, who was eating melon when she finally opened the bottle of soda she brought from the Welfare Department and poured it into the feed port above her head.

"Oh... This is the first time I know these things~"

"So, Bai Yu already has a girlfriend?"

She felt a little emotional, but not surprised.

After all, Bai Yu is a level five employee who lives in the city's nest and works in the Wings of the World.

He is an ultimate high-quality man who owns a house, a car, no mortgage, and a super high salary... except that his life may be a little short, he has no shortcomings.

With such favorable conditions, it should be no problem to find a girlfriend anywhere.

Moreover, it seems that the other party is also an employee of the Brain Corp. After helping each other and jointly suppressing abnormalities, it is not unlikely that they have fallen in love with each other...

"I don't know what kind of person he is that can attract Bai Yu. I'm really curious~"

Makuku was now lying in front of the hologram with some curiosity.

And just at this moment, in the surveillance video, the blue-haired girl seemed to have noticed something. She turned her head, and the same bright golden pupils were reflected in Angela's eyes through the surveillance video.

She seemed to know that Angela was watching from the other side of the surveillance camera.

She was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head, a smirk appearing on her delicate face.

Before she even took a second, she suddenly grabbed Bai Yu's hand in a show-off manner, and with her other hand, she made a face at the surveillance camera...

"..."

"Pfft!"

This time it was the sound of soda.

But for Makuku who was standing by, he also felt a little uneasy.

"What... is going on?!"

Makuku was shocked. She turned her head slightly and saw Angela's profile, which was exactly the same as before, but now looked colder than the Snow Queen, and -

"Angela? How could this happen?! The can... the can is going to be sacrificed!!!"

At this moment, Makuku saw that the can of soda that belonged to Angela in her hand was twisting and deforming, and the uneasy feeling in his heart finally found its source.

The bubbles in her carbonated drink were already overflowing...

356

Chapter 356 Little Angela, bad!

'This is terrible, this situation is terrible, right?!'

At this moment, Makuku finally became a little panicked.

She had never seen Angela lose her composure like this before!

She was very sure that the person in front of her was the aloof secretary who could announce the restart of TT2 to all Sephirahs with a straight face even if the third-level alarm was triggered and everyone in the department was killed.

but now……

The cold soda was flowing down between her white fingers, but she seemed completely unaware...

"Bai Yu, what on earth did you do to Angela?!"

Makuku swallowed hard again.

She really still couldn't imagine what Bai Yu had done to cause Angela to undergo such a change.

She had originally wanted to say something to comfort Angela, but as she opened her mouth, the words she was preparing were frightened away by the icy aura emanating from this girl...

The pair of golden pupils that were staring at the holographic image were still flashing with a terrifying light.

just like……

Angela also couldn't understand the two people in the middle, a man and a woman who were holding hands and chatting!

……

that's true.

after all--

"Bai Yu, why..."

"You clearly said you couldn't accept me, yet you ended up getting so close to my copy?"

The other party's "showing off" seemed to have finally ended. But as she watched the blue-haired girl pulling Bai Yu away in the surveillance video, Angela's cold face finally showed a hint of change.

Yes.

She wouldn't admit it.

Just like the pair of golden eyes that met her gaze just now...

This is a replica of yourself.

A damn fake, copied from myself.

Angela suddenly realized this, but she felt an even colder feeling of jealousy in her heart.

All branch replicas were designed to replicate her best aspects, aiming to attract every branch leader and make them more motivated to work.

'Is it the L-4841 I gave him?'

"No, that's not right... Although I have made some minor adjustments to its performance, I definitely haven't made it this sophisticated!"

In fact, because she was worried at the beginning, Angela had already turned off the emotional module of Bai Yu's chief secretary when she designed the program.

But now...

Angela took another deep breath, and gradually realized that she had finally discovered the blind spot.

'Why did it suddenly become physical again?'

Maybe this is the real point.

However, Angela didn't seem to want to know the reason and cause of this abnormal phenomenon.

The first thing she thought about was - what would happen if her identity was swapped with the other person's?

"Why, anyway...!"

The blue figure in the surveillance video was pulling Bai Yu away from the surveillance range.

Watching this scene, Angela squatted on the ground weakly, hugging her knees, her soft head and long hair buried in her black stockings.

"Why is it that a mere imitation of me can now travel around the city with Bai Yu, while I have to stay in this damn hell and watch the same bloody scene every day?!"

'Isn't this really unfair?!'

In the darkness, Angela clenched her teeth sadly.

She originally came to the surveillance to look for the little bit of light she hoped to see...

She hopes to see that the person she cares about also cares about her. She hopes that even if her 'father' in this company doesn't care about her pain, outside, in that distant W-0001 branch, there are still people waiting for her.

Can……

"Angela, are you okay?"

No matter how clumsy he was, Makuku felt something was wrong when he was with Angela for the first time.

Her robotic arm could only helplessly comfort the girl.

But at this point, her comfort was indeed powerless. Neither of them was able to resist, because this was a hell that neither of them could leave on their own.

Even with the twists and turns, everything here seemed just as the genius Ain had predicted.

'Angela's expectations of any relationship are forbidden.'

'Just need to speed up the script.'

'To make it more painful.'

'...'

"Angela, the 41st day of work has been moved up. Go back to X."

Just like now, someone walked into this 'peeping room' that belonged only to the two of them without knocking.

Makuku raised her head and really wanted to punch the white box. Even she, a workaholic in the control department, knew that now was not the time to work!

"Hokma! You..."

For the first time, Makuku wanted to be indignant and buy Angela time to recover emotionally.

But before she could finish her words, the girl she was protecting stood up.

The girl didn't say a word, and perhaps it looked like the only thing that dimmed was the light in her golden pupils.

She listened to Hokma's words and walked straight out of the house. Compared to before, she now wanted to start the day as soon as possible.

After all, only when the day of launching the 'Seed of Light' and the day of the 'script' ending could she, the machine behind the scenes, truly break free from Ain's control. Only then could she...

Angela walked past Hokma calmly.
