Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"049, I have other work to do, so I'll leave first..."

Bai Yu took a few steps back. The stench in front of him really made him feel like vomiting.

"Um...."

049 didn't care and just continued to record in his notebook, but seemed to have thought of something.

The bird-beak mask raised up again, and it had some new requests to report to Bai Yu.

"Doctor, my experiment has reached a bottleneck... I desperately need real patients... especially from your side."

"The people here seem to have developed new symptoms from the plague... I'm very interested in this..."

"It would be great if you could provide me with a patient who is still alive and has more energy..."

"..."

Bai Yu did not respond. He walked to the 'entrance' and just closed the gate.

perhaps.....

If it were Lobotomy, they might have agreed, after all, this would very likely increase the production of endorphins.

But using innocent living people for experiments still crossed Bai Yu's red line.

not to mention....

Bai Yu recalled the experimental results of SCP-049.

That intense feeling of discomfort...

He had only an extremely bad premonition about 049's experiment.

Although 049 is indeed trying to free humanity from the 'plague' it calls it.

But the way it was achieved and the result...

Is this really what humans want to see?

"Don't overthink it... There are so many monsters in the city, one more 049 won't make a difference, and one less 049 won't make a difference either. Besides, it's probably still a long time before the experimental results come out..."

Bai Yu interrupted his thoughts and looked at his watch.

AM 5:23....

The work took more than an hour.

There were still no employees in the corridor in the early morning...

"Let's go back to the dormitory and rest for a while," Bai Yu wanted to relax, "Let's go back and finish watching that unfinished movie..."

But before he took a few steps, an instruction came into his ears.

"Training Department Level 3 Employee 'Bai Yu', please come to the supervisor's office immediately..."

The only footsteps in the corridor stopped.

'The supervisor wants to see me?'

Bai Yu was surprised and recalled the silent supervisor 'Artemis Lenz' at the ministerial meeting.

What could this supervisor, who usually does nothing and is rarely seen, do when he is needed?

What's more...at this time?

"..."

Bai Yu raised his head and stared at the surveillance camera in the corridor for several seconds.

He knew that someone must be watching him...

But so what?

He is still an employee of Lobotomy Corporation.

Bai Yu sighed silently in his heart, calmed himself down, and walked towards the supervisor's office on the basement floor.

Chapter 37 Conversation with Angela

It actually doesn't take long to take the Lobotomy Company elevator to that place.

Ten minutes later, Bai Yu was standing outside the supervisor's office.

The door in front of me was not closed, it opened with just a slight push.

But what was strange was that the lights in the office were not even on, and there was no one in the dark room.

Well, to be exact...

Here, there is also an extremely perfect blue-haired AI.

"Welcome, Bai Yu..."

The blue figure is so conspicuous in the darkness. Even though it is only the early morning, a time when normal people would not be able to concentrate at all, as an AI, she still maintains the most perfect smile.

'Angela...'

Bai Yu was not surprised that Angela would appear here. After all, it would be strange if Angela was not there where the supervisor was.

Therefore, he nodded politely at her as a reluctant greeting.

But looking at the empty office in front of him, he already had a bad feeling.

Since the supervisor hasn't come to work yet, who gave him this instruction...

"Ms. Angela, where is Director Lentz?"

Although he had probably guessed the answer, Bai Yu still asked with forced calmness.

"Ah... Did I not explain that clearly in the instructions? What a dereliction of duty..."

As expected, the AI in front of him responded quickly.

Not only that, Angela's next words surprised Bai Yu even more.

"I'm not representing Director Artemis Lenz of Branch W-0001, but rather the orders of A, the founder of Lobotomy Corporation~"

"......"

"Congratulations, Bai Yu. Today is your 100th day at Lobotomy. We've been watching your performance closely, so in recognition of your outstanding performance, we've prepared a gift for you..."

"......"

"You will be transferred to the headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation as an exception!"

Angela walked to Bai Yu with a smile, and even the virtual projection made a clapping gesture.

"Congratulations again! You will receive all the benefits of being a headquarter employee, including moving to L Nest... Please don't be too proud or complacent. I hope you will always maintain a dedicated attitude towards the company while working at the headquarter..."

"......"

Angela was the only one there telling the story.

Bai Yu stood there in a daze, his heart completely calm.

Because he is dead inside!

"Hmm... Is it time to figure out how to force your way out of Lobotomy Corporation?"

After all, even dying now is much better than going to the headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation to participate in that damn reincarnation.

"Aren't you happy?"

Seeing Bai Yu's unresponsiveness, Angela seemed a little confused, but then she felt relieved and smiled again.

"Well, I thought I had learned the tricks of human jokes... Did you see through me?"

"No, Miss Angela..."

Bai Yu regained consciousness.

But even though he knew Angela was joking, he still couldn't let go of the breath in his heart...

It was strange that the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger when he saw Angela right in front of him...

"Well...how about we talk about something serious?"

Looking at Bai Yu in front of her, who did not show any panic in response to her words, Angela opened her beautiful golden eyes.

The beautiful AI just waved its finger and the door behind it automatically closed...

In the darkness, only the faint blue light emitted by Angela illuminated the Lobotomy Corporation employee in front of her.

But in such an environment, Bai Yu inexplicably calmed down.

Indeed, he didn't know what he had done wrong, and Angela had no reason to cause trouble for him.

"Training Department Level 3 Employee Bai Yu, may I ask what you and the Training Department Sephirah, the HOD, discussed during your meeting?"

"It's just a simple work report. Did I do anything wrong?" Bai Yu said softly, "If you have any questions, I can give you the report materials I prepared for your review..."

"..."

Angela seemed to have not expected the employee in front of her to be so calm. She was silent for a moment, her golden pupils still staring at Bai Yu. It was not until a few seconds later that she continued to speak.

"No...it's the HOD. She did something wrong, so I'm afraid she can't continue to direct your work for the time being..."

HOD Minister?

Bai Yu was a little surprised. Although he didn't know what happened in the headquarters, he knew that the HOD director's current condition was probably not very good, but apart from regret, he didn't think this kind of thing would affect him.

"So you called me here to inform our training department that the director needs to be replaced?"

"Yes," Angela regained her calm and perfect smile, "From now on, I will temporarily take charge of the training department of the W-0001 branch..."

Ah...this news is indeed explosive.

Bai Yu's brows twitched unconsciously, but he still forced a smile.

"Okay, got it. Anything else?"

If not....

Bai Yu wanted to go back to the dormitory and rest for a while. This conversation lasting nearly half an hour had caused him too much of an impact.

"Of course, Director Lentz needs to discuss some matters with W Company at noon today, and the company has decided to assign him some guards..."

However, Angela did not play by the rules. During the accelerated time at the headquarters, she had already arranged everything.

"As a personal gift to celebrate your 100th day at Lobotomy, Baiyu, how about taking a walk after such a long absence?"

This mission...

"Then I'll follow the arrangements of the acting minister," Bai Yu nodded and agreed readily.

Just as Angela said, what mission? This is simply a gift...

In this dark and gloomy place called Lobotomy, there are not many opportunities to get out.

Besides, he wanted to leave Lobotomy Corporation in the first place...

Going out to take a look at the surrounding environment, or just running away, is also an option.

"Then I'll go first...some things still need to be prepared."

Bai Yu simply bowed to Angela and easily pulled the bolt of the office door.

Angela didn't lock the door.

As Bai Yu closed the door again, the office fell into darkness again.

But Angela has not yet closed the blue holographic projection of herself in the W-0001 branch...

After all, it doesn’t matter whether it is turned off or not.

Whether at headquarters or here, she is always alone.

"What I said before wasn't all a joke..."

In the silent space, Angela just talked to herself.

"I sincerely congratulate you on making it past the 100th day, and I hope you can keep it up, our Lobotomy Corporation's 'Abnormality Expert'..."
