After hearing what the man said, the gray-haired woman's expression became a little more serious. After lighting a cigarette, she walked up quickly.
And she seemed to have sensed the gaze from afar as she walked past Bai Yu.
Those blue eyes swept over him.
Chapter 41 Rumors
erm...
It's the pitch-black silence and the popcorn machine...
Bai Yu watched the two figures walking away until they were about to disappear at the exit, then he came to his senses.
He really didn't expect to run into the 'Scallion Pancake Couple' - Roland and Angelica here.
As the protagonist of the sequel to Lobotomy, "The Ruined Library", Bai Yu has some understanding of Roland and the others...
The story of the Ruined Library, in simple terms, takes place after the lobe falls and Angela steals the 'Seed of Light', which triggers the phenomenon of day and night. Due to the incomplete distribution of light, a strange phenomenon called 'distortion' appears in the city.
And Roland and Angelica, these two...
One was a first-tier finisher, the other a color-level finisher. As the city's top-tier combat power, they could have continued to fight. After all, no company or association would refuse the services of color-level or near-color-level finishers...
It's just that they are tired of the cruel life of a closer and just want to retire peacefully and live the life of an ordinary person.
But all of this was destroyed in the end by the distortion of "The Pianist".
Angelica died, and Roland, with the help of another color-level finisher, Violet Teardrop, went to the library to find the truth, but happened to run into Angelica...
But that's all in the past...
And now, it seems that this 'Scallion Pancake Couple' is still working as closers at Charles' office.
"Senior, who are you looking at?"
When the crowd dispersed, Komini, Rose and the others actually found Bai Yu who was standing there in a daze.
"The ones who are finishing up the mess?" Rose, who was standing by, followed his gaze and immediately spotted Roland and the weapons he was holding. She easily deduced their identities. "Yes, with what happened, Association 1 did need to send some people over."
1 association?
"..."
After hearing Rose's words, Bai Yu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
He certainly knew the importance of this association...
As one of the city's 12 finisher associations, it is also the largest and most powerful.
Different from the 4th team specializing in assassination and the 6th team specializing in combat.
The 1st Association is responsible for the overall management of all associations. They are also responsible for issuing official documents related to commissions for various events, conducting risk assessments for disasters occurring in the city, and assigning colors to those who surpass their ranks to finish the job...
He already felt something was not right when a top-level first-level finisher and a color-level finisher appeared here.
Now it can actually involve the most powerful association in this city?
"What exactly happened in Nest W?" He asked directly, wanting to find out what was going on.
"You don't know?"
Rose did not hide it. She said that this was a hot topic among everyone in W Nest. She found it strange that Bai Yu and the others did not know about it.
"A city star, 'Blood Red Night' recently escaped to W Nest..."
"City Star?!"
This time, it was not Bai Yu, but Komini's expression began to become shocked.
Abnormal events among urban populations are generally divided into five levels from low to high according to the threat level: urban ghost stories, urban legends, urban diseases, urban nightmares, and urban stars.
Among them, City Star is the highest rating.
As the name suggests, they are the stars hanging in the city and the ones that urban people must look up to.
Those who can be called this name are generally extremely difficult to handle. They are often matters that touch on the core interests of Wing Company, or dangerous organizations with influence covering a back alley to several nests, which will have an impact on the order of the entire city. It is necessary for the 1st Association to assign a special department to track the direction.
Generally speaking, such commissions are handed over to color-level finishers or strong first-tier firms....
"This 'star' indiscriminately kidnaps and kills residents of the back alleys and the nest. The number of nest residents killed by her is now in the thousands, if not tens of thousands. This has seriously endangered the safety of Nest W... The commissions from various associations are piled up so high that there's no room to post them..."
Ignoring their surprise, Rose waved her hand and continued explaining.
"Originally, the 2nd and 6th Consortiums had already been involved in the investigation... but now everything has been handed over to the 1st Consortium. I hope there will be some good results this time."
'I see...'
Bai Yu suddenly realized, but soon, as he gradually understood the truth of the matter, he had only one wish.
"Ah... I hope I won't be dragged into this..."
A first-level finisher, a color-level finisher, and who knows how many other finishers the 1st Association has arranged, plus a city star...
What a great brawl....how come everyone is now nestling in W's nest!
This has nothing to do with the vacation he imagined in the outside world...
Komini had just recovered from her initial shock, but she was still a little incredulous. "I've only been in the Lobotomy for seven days, and so many things have happened outside?"
"Yeah, who knew the world would change so quickly? But..."
Seeing the nervousness of the guest in front of her, Rose simply comforted him.
"Everyone, as long as we're in Nest W, we're relatively safe. Um... I won't go into detail about the specific work, so let's keep going..."
Two hours later.
After visiting all the places they could see, they finally arrived at the elevator door.
"Everyone, if you want to eat, you can take the elevator to the third floor. Show your L company employee ID and you can get the employee meal for free..."
Rose gave her final instructions, now that her mission was almost complete, and nodded, preparing to enter the elevator.
"Then we'll have to take our leave first. We'll see you again in the future..."
But the sound behind her suddenly made her stop.
"Bai Yu, what should we do now?"
"Just stay..."
"Senior Bai Yu, Senior Yulia, how about we go eat first? I'm really curious about what the work meals at W Company taste like."
The three people behind were noisy and their conversation was meaningless, but there was still something that made her care.
"Yulia?!"
Hearing this name, Rose in front of him suddenly frowned and turned to look at the blue-haired lobotomist walking at the back.
"..."
Seeing that Rose in front of her finally reacted, Yulia just smiled slightly.
She hadn't been home for a long time, but she didn't expect that this W employee spent more than two hours without recognizing her.
But now, she could only sigh.
"Long time no see, sister..."
Chapter 42 W Company Discovers Abnormality
"She's your sister?!"
At the dining table in the W Company cafeteria, Komini was frantically serving food, while Bai Yu leaned beside Yulia and asked in a low voice.
No wonder he said that he felt Yulia looked familiar with her blue hair the first day he saw her...
"Then your family is really full of talented people, all of them are World Wings talents..."
"Shut up..."
Yulia was still staring at Rose across the table, so she just uttered two cold words to Bai Yu.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and it seemed like the sisters weren't on good terms...
"Where's Lianka? Weren't you two accepted by L Company?" Rose's expression was calm. She sat in the cafeteria chair without picking up her tray. "Why don't I see her?"
"She's still at the company..." Yulia's eyes evaded Lenka, and her voice dropped a little. "I was just unlucky to be chosen for this company trip."
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and found that Yulia was covering up the fact that her sister was dead.
"You two... your father told you to choose Company W when filling out your applications, but you insisted on choosing Company L..." However, Rose didn't notice Yulia's lie and just kept playing with the spoon in her hand. "You haven't returned home once since graduating from college. What does that mean?"
"He's your father, not ours."
"I know you don't understand him, but..." Hearing this, Rose stopped what she was doing. She wanted to say something, but finally stopped herself. "Forget it. How are you doing now?"
"That's none of your concern..." Yulia remained stubborn.
Oh my god, is this some kind of melodramatic family ethics drama?
Bai Yu watched the conversation between the two sisters in front of him, and he had no appetite for his meal. He directly pushed his plate to Kemini...
Originally, the melon could have been eaten for a long time, but someone came to find them.
"You guys are here..."
At the cafeteria door, Supervisor Lentz and Old Aaron walked in.
When they saw the old webmaster, all the employees of W Company stood up and saluted, including Rose.
"Rose, are you still entertaining guests?" Old Aaron looked at the employee in front of him with a smile.
"..." Rose glanced at Yulia, then bowed to the stationmaster, "Sorry, I'll go now..."
W Company requires subordinates to obey their superiors absolutely, so now she has no choice but to run quickly to the elevator to prepare for the cleaning work of the next W train.
But in that final eye contact, Yulia knew that this would not be the last time she and her sister would interact.
Yulia stood up. Although she understood this, she still wanted to leave.
"Master Supervisor, can we go now?"
"Yes, although some contracts still need to be drafted for several days, they can be completed before the day after tomorrow." Seeing that his employees also wanted to leave, Manager Lentz nodded.
"Then do we need to return to the branch?" Komini raised her hand and asked the question that concerned her.
"No need. I've already written you a business trip leave note. Just return to Lobotomy before midnight the day after tomorrow..." Director Lentz said with a smile, "You don't have to stay with me 0 hours a day. Now, I approve your free movement..."
'It's obvious that he really wants to give us a holiday...'
Bai Yu was a little surprised, but he could still accept the sudden liberation with peace of mind.
After all, compared to going back and facing those strange abnormalities, life in the nest is still more comfortable unless there are any unexpected events...
.........
While the head of Lobotomy Corporation was talking to his employees.
A W employee also ran to Old Aaron's side and seemed to want to report on his work. He leaned close to Old Aaron's ear and whispered a few words.
"Webmaster... monitoring data... spatial density..."
Slowly, the old man's expression became slightly solemn.
"Everyone, there are some things at the company, so we'll leave first."
This time, without waiting for a response from L Company, Old Abel and the employee from W Company walked out quickly, as if they had encountered something important.
And no one could have imagined that old Aaron would be so fast. In just a few minutes, he left the cafeteria and came to a place full of doorbells and shouts.
"Is Platform 1 clear?"
"Train 23 requests departure..."
"Hasn't the third cleaning team gone to train 13 to clean it yet?"
"..."
This is the W Company Research Institute and also the dispatching center of the W train.
Thousands of W Company employees need to issue dispatch instructions here 24 hours a day and arrange W Company's cleaning team to "clean" the trains.
