Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

A few seconds later, Chang Mo's small leather shoes made a crisp sound as they stepped on the smooth floor. She caught up after finishing the handover work with the civil servants.

Her questions remained the same, and she seemed to be still a little worried about Bai Yu's mental state.

"of course."

His answer was the same as last time, the only difference was that this time, he answered more decisively.

Now, he kept walking at a steady pace and had almost reached the center of the central control room, only one step away from the huge monster.

Just by stretching out his hand, Bai Yu could even directly touch those tentacles emitting a metallic luster...

The HOD seemed to have been watching him, the outsider, and the huge orange mechanical eye was still following his movements.

"Manager...what should I do with these employees...I can't help them..."

The heavy and huge whisper still echoed in Bai Yu's ears.

But the 'supervisor' she mentioned did not respond to her. The man found a corner and sat down, waiting for the end of the day's work at the headquarters of the Brain Lobe Corporation.

He stopped talking, and his only entertainment was to think about how Miss HOD would turn back into the box spirit...

"It's not a collapse, is it?"

Bai Yu's mind was full of idle and random thoughts, but he also knew that this was unlikely.

After all, if all these huge tentacles were to be stuffed into HOD's tiny body...it would be really unimaginable.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

It was not until an hour later that a sound like a car bell suddenly rang out throughout the facility.

Although he didn't know the meaning of this sound, Bai Yu could roughly guess from the relieved expressions of the employees around him that this was a sign that the energy indicators for the day had been fully met.

"Is the work finished?"

He raised his head, but was somewhat surprised to find that the giant HOD in front of him had no intention of recovering.

The huge tentacles were still waving around in the central control room, and the whispers around his ears showed no signs of dissipating.

But Chang Mo on the side had already nodded, "Well...if the supervisor doesn't need us to work overtime."

Yes, according to standard procedure, if X doesn't want to take them to work overtime, Angela's gentle voice will sound on the radio.

However, five minutes had passed and there was still no movement on the radio.

There is no instruction to work, nor is there any instruction to leave work....

"what's the situation?"

Chang Mo has now come to the console and started asking questions with a look of surprise.

"I'm asking..."

The clerk here seemed obviously more anxious than her, but no matter how many calls he made to the supervisor's office.

These calls ended up with no one answering...

"..."

Bai Yu fell into silence, but after just a few seconds, he turned to look at HOD who was still in pain.

He suddenly understood...

Yes, it was past noon, but everyone had forgotten that there was still one piece of work that was not yet finished.

A job that belongs only to X....

-----------------

Fortunately... they should have realized it too.

Bai Yu didn't look back, but after a few minutes, he finally heard clearly the footsteps of high heels and leather shoes in the corridor at the same time.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer.

A few seconds later, the two top elites of Lobotomy Corporation finally walked in.

"Bai Yu."

He heard Angela's soft cry.

But he didn't look back. Only Miss HOD's pupils moved slowly. She swept across Angela and finally stopped at the supervisor.

And at the moment when the golden pupils met her gaze, X finally heard...

"Director... please forgive me... If you won't forgive me, please delete this memory..."

Only now, after actually hearing such cries, did X finally understand that what appeared on his screen had never been just a few phrases composed of code characters.

These emotions from HOD's past were never something that could be easily let go.

"Do you understand? X..."

At this moment, Bai Yu finally turned around with a smile.

His deep blue pupils, which had been staring at HOD for a long time, finally reflected the color like an ancient well.

But the one who trembled when seeing this scene was Angela.

It was because what was reflected in that 'ancient well' was the same brilliant golden color as her.

But before she could say anything, HOD's tentacles suddenly started to riot.

She passed by everyone, but only caught the 'X' in her eyes, and dragged them into the depths of her heart...

Chapter 135 The Beginning of Everything

turn out to be....

This is what it feels like to move forward with heavy emotions...

In the darkness, Bai Yu did not close his eyes. He could not see anything, but in the darkness, he could clearly feel Miss HOD's sadness and regret.

This breath seemed to turn into a quagmire, and the tentacles that were dragging him soon could not move anymore. After just a few more drags, the tentacles that were wrapped around him slowly loosened.

But at this moment, Bai Yu clearly felt that he had stepped on a real object.

'You can still keep going...'

A part of him suddenly had this thought.

Because of this, he did not hesitate and began to move forward in the mud...

One step, two steps, three steps...

The man walked alone, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. Finally, he saw some light in the darkness in front of him.

"Finally out of the mud..."

The next thought quickly came to his mind. With nowhere else to go, he embarked on this path.

It was not until he reached the light that he realized that it was just a gap in his heart.

With the gap as the boundary, darkness and color become two different worlds.

The man crossed the gap and his feet finally stepped on the ground of this world.

He looked around calmly...

This place seemed to be just an old dormitory area that no one in the area would want to live in, but the messy notes on the desk and the opened but uneaten snacks on the coffee table...

All the details here show that there are several people living here who have a good relationship with each other...

"I was just at Lobotomy..."

While the man was still thinking about what happened, someone slapped him hard on the back of the head.

"Ain, what are you doing here? Carmen has recruited new members..."

The flat tone came from a purple-haired man, who seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the man's daze.

Ain?!

Hearing this, the man looked at his clothes in panic.

It was still the same cliché suit and white coat...but this clean and tidy white coat was not the one stained with blood.

"Ain, are you still asleep last night?" The purple-haired man walked up to him and looked at him carefully.

"Yesod?" Ain (?) blurted out his name in Lobotomy Corporation.

Yes, the person who appeared before him was none other than the Sephirah "Viper" from the Intelligence Department - Yesod.

"What's that, Yesod?" The purple-haired man, who was being inexplicably addressed, looked a bit surprised. "It seems like you really haven't woken up yet. You even forgot your companion's name..."

Ain (?) was silent for a moment, but still asked this 'Yesod'.

"Excuse me, but what's your name?"

"Very good, it seems that our genius Ain is not only still asleep, but his brain is also broken..."

The purple-haired man crossed his arms over his chest, seemingly very dissatisfied with what Ain said, but he still explained it obediently.

"I'll introduce myself to you again. My name is Gabriel. Now, I hope you haven't forgotten Carmen. Don't waste any more time!"

After saying that, Gabriel pulled Ain and walked out of the door...

But he didn't know that Ai Yin was in a confused state at the moment.

Two thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind at the same time.

'Where's X?'

'What about the employees?!'

'! ! ! '

'! ! ! '

And at this moment, these two independent consciousnesses suddenly discovered...

"What the hell! How did you get inside me?" X asked first.

'......' However, Bai Yu's response was only a burst of meaningless black spots.

Compared to the amnesiac Ain, as a completer of the game, he can better understand why this situation has occurred.

Generally speaking, at the end of the Core Suppression, only X can face the inner hearts of the Sephirahs and learn from them the great qualities that urban people lack...

And now, for some unknown reason, he, an outsider, was also drawn into this, which led to the current situation of two souls in one body.

Can....

Thinking back to the last situation in Lobotomy, Bai Yu was still a little confused...

In fact, his memory and consciousness stopped at the moment when he and Miss HOD made their last eye contact.

He didn't even remember what happened afterwards or what he said...

"What are you thinking about? What do you mean I should learn the great qualities that urban people lack in their hearts?"

X's thoughts suddenly interrupted. It seemed that here, he could also perceive Bai Yu's thoughts and ideas without any hindrance.

But all he got in response was silence. The consciousness of that unknown employee seemed to have disappeared briefly in the sea of consciousness.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

Ain (?) gritted his teeth as he was being dragged away by Gabriel.

However, the current situation seems to be a good one for X. After all, the unknown employee doesn't seem to have any intention of competing with him for control of this body for the time being...

"Senior Ain! Senior Gabriel!!"

As they walked towards a room outside, they saw a cute brown-haired girl wearing a white coat like them, holding a notebook in front of her chest and waving her right arm excitedly.

X recognized who it was at first sight. It was the slightly sinister Sephirah of the Control Department - Malkhuth.

"Is this a team-building activity for the Lobotomy directors?"

Seeing so many familiar faces appear at once made him think of such a joking idea...

"Elijah, sorry for the wait. Is Carmen back?"

As expected, Makuku's name had changed here as well, and Gabriel seemed quite friendly towards the child.

"Yeah!" Ilia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "The new member is outside, and Mr. Giovanni is outside too. Let's go out together!"
