Ji Luoting covered her eye patch with her hand and laughed. "But since I'm a hero, I definitely need a few like-minded companions."

"So now I'm in trouble, my dear friend..."

"Would you like to team up with me to challenge our first dungeon?"

"..."

"I see. So you can't find anyone to compete with you, right?"

Green pondered for a moment. As someone who often provided psychological counseling to Nikki, he was adept at extracting useful information from a mountain of useless chatter. "The players in that game are all very friendly. Just find a group that welcomes newcomers and let the veterans guide you through the dungeon."

"Kukukuk, my dear friend, you are right. Many people have invited me to join their guilds. However, I can see that these people only want to take advantage of my reputation as a hero!"

"OK then."

"I still have some things to do. When I have time, I will definitely take you to play the game."

"Ah, my dear friend, you are the only one who understands me. But don't forget our promise, Kukuku. I, Hermes Girotin, will be waiting for you at the end of fate."

"Ghana."

"See you next time."

With a cool smile on her face, Ji Luoting pretended to touch the hair on her forehead and then left with a brisk pace.

However, for some reason, when Green looked at her back as she left alone, he always felt that she looked ten or even nine points lonely.

"Girotin...actually, you don't have any friends."

"of course."

Green was lost in thought when a competent voice came from behind him, startling him.

When he looked back, he found that the person who came was Ingrid, the CEO of Pure Land of Bliss. She was still dressed in white and looked majestic as usual.

"Ingrid? Why are you here?"

"I was on my way to a meeting at the central government headquarters. I happened to see you guys here, so I stopped to watch for a while."

Ingrid put one hand on her waist and made up an excuse for herself, but she glanced at Ji Luoting's back with a slightly worried look, and then said: "You should know that the external forces are the troops specially used by the Ark to execute the abnormal Nikki."

"So-called deviants are those who have undergone a change of mindset, or have been corrupted and pose a threat to the Ark. While these deviants don't possess the destructive power of heretics, they are almost all cold-blooded killers against ordinary people, and can easily trigger social unrest."

"At this time, it is often necessary for the outside forces, such as Madden and Giraudin, to come forward to solve the problem."

"Because they all possess trump cards against Nikki, the Demonic Eye and the Word Spirit, their identities must be kept secret. For this reason, excessive social activities are also prohibited."

"Well, I understand this, so why are you suddenly telling me this, Ingrid?"

Green tilted his head oddly.

"That's because... Ji Luoting caused trouble before."

Ingrid closed her eyes and sighed imperceptibly. Then she said, "Not long ago, another abnormal individual appeared in the alleys of the Ark. Ji Luoting rushed to the scene and should have shot him dead on the spot. But for some reason, she neglected to allow him to escape."

"That deviant later opened fire on the street, causing numerous casualties. Although he was ultimately subdued by Ji Luoting, the central government will certainly hold her accountable for this situation. Indeed, the central government has investigated Ji Luoting and believes she has shown signs of a change of heart and may become a deviant in the future. Considering her special abilities could cause massive casualties, they've issued an order to me."

"The central government has decided to scrap Girodin."

"what?!"

Green's brows were twisted like hemp ropes.

He also knew that the Ark's top management had always treated Nikki as useful tools and consumables, but making such a hasty decision on a Nikki with special abilities seemed a bit too frivolous.

"Ingrid, are you sure this is true and not someone is targeting you specifically?"

“Maybe that’s a factor as well.”

Ingrid sighed softly and sat down on the bench beside him. Then, with her arms folded, she said, "Misilis' stock price and reputation have plummeted recently due to Shuen's mismanagement. Meanwhile, Pure Land has a good public image, and with you as our spokesperson, we've certainly been attracting a lot of attention lately."

"But no matter what, I can't accept this result."

Ingrid was silent for a while, but the expression on her face was insincere.

As the CEO of the Pure Land Military Industrial Enterprise, she always gives people the impression of being a tough soldier on the surface, but in private she rarely puts on airs, and even often secretly gives special treatment to Nikki and others.

If Ji Luoting was really scrapped because of this incident, she would definitely be very sad.

"I understand."

"So, is there any chance of recovery?"

"Well, I've already proposed this to Alnick, and she agrees that making a hasty decision would be a waste of talent, so she gave Girotin a suspended sentence."

"Within two months, we must find evidence that Ji Luoting doesn't have any abnormal thoughts, but this is obviously difficult to achieve, right? So I want to ask you, do you have any good suggestions?"

Ingrid looked at Green for help.

She knew that the commander in front of her always had many novel ideas.

Green rested his chin on his finger and pondered for a while. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He said, "When an AI can't make a decision, the best approach is to let another AI provide the answer."

"Ink, she exists as Alnic's backup AI. Let's ask her for help."

Ingrid: "Oh, you mean..."

Green: "Do you know about holographic virtual games, Ingrid, or have you read similar anime or novels?"

Ingrid nodded. "I've seen it. It's the kind where you lie down in a game cabin and travel to another game world."

Green: "Yes, we can have Ink study a related simulation scenario to explore Gillotin's inner thoughts. If we conclude that she is normal, then this data will definitely convince Alnick."

"it is good!"

"As expected of you!"

Ingrid jumped up from her chair excitedly.

Then, realizing she had lost her composure, she coughed twice and said seriously, "I'll go discuss this with Yingke right away. However, I have another favor to ask of you."

Green nodded and said solemnly: "You say."

Ingrid: "The choice is yours this time. If Ji Luoting really shows signs of mental transformation and becoming abnormal, you should show no mercy and tell the truth."

Green looked at her in surprise and asked, "Is it really okay for you to let me do something like this, Ingrid?"

Ingrid's eyebrows drooped slightly, revealing a somewhat heartbroken expression, and then she said: "I have selfish motives, I can't do it."

"I understand. Leave it to me."

"Besides, you should trust Girodin, Ingrid."

"Although she's a little bit silly, she's definitely not an abnormal person."

"I hope so."

After finishing the business, Ingrid smiled politely at Green, then found an excuse and left quickly.

"Aunt Ingrid..."

"She's quite humane."

As soon as Green finished complaining, his phone lit up.

——Unknown number——

Unknown Number: "I'm not an auntie."

Green: “???”

Green: "How did you hear that?"

Unknown Number: "The answer is, there's a professional recording and video camera in the bushes behind the chair. Don't underestimate the Pure Land intelligence network. We have strong surveillance over the area near our headquarters."

Green: "Huh!"

……

hang up the phone.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Green immediately set off for Flora's garden.

Flora's garden is located in a greenhouse garden not far from the Royal Avenue. This place was chosen deliberately because of its quietness. Land in the wealthy area is very expensive, the public security is good, and it is also convenient to sell flowers to some wealthy people to bring back funds.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?"

Green reached out and gently pushed open the garden gate.

What comes into view is a gentle and colorful scene.

Beneath this cruel apocalyptic abyss, there are still people who cherish these beautiful colors. Like a ray of hope blooming in a dark world, looking at these flowers can surely heal even the most depressed person.

“Beep, beep, beep~”

"Watering the pansy area."

A flying drone used for watering flew over Green's head, sprinkling cool water on him, while explaining its work in an electronic voice.

Suddenly getting wet, Green couldn't help but sneeze.

This sneeze also caught Flora's attention.

"Mr. Flower, are you here?"

"I'm terribly sorry, I was just studying the soil."

Flora stood up slowly from the garden with a smile on her face.

She held a small shovel in her right hand and a handful of soil in her left hand, in which a freshly transplanted flower was being planted. Because her work always involved contact with soil and sunlight, her white gloves were also stained with soil and dust, and a few drops of fresh sweat ran down her cheeks.

Green quickly noticed her pair of white bare feet.

Standing in the flower field and walking towards him barefoot, Flora was as beautiful as a flower fairy in a fairy tale.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

"Because the temperature is a little too high, Mr. Flower. You should know that flowers always need plenty of sunlight and warmth to thrive, but wearing my boots in a place like this will make it very hot and humid."

Flora smiled sweetly, opened her white parasol, and explained.

"It's okay, just put it in my mouth."

Green made a small joke and then looked around the garden. Apart from the drone humming and spraying water, he didn't see anyone else. "I don't think I saw anyone else. So, is the garden usually closed to the public?"

"Yes."

“The garden is not usually open to the public.”

Flora nodded and explained, "Flowers are very valuable. If we open them to the citizens of Ark for viewing, we don't have enough manpower, making it difficult to maintain continuous operation and management."

"Mr. Flower, do you have any suggestions on this?"

"Um……"

Facing Flora's urgent gaze.

Green pondered for a moment, then said, "Misilis's reputation has plummeted due to the previous heretic attack. Flora, since you are Missilis's Nikki, you must be aware of this, right?"

Flora nodded: "Yes, Mr. Flower."

Green pointed to the garden on the ground: "Then now is a good opportunity, Flora."

"Many people in the Ark are still grieving the loss of their loved ones and friends. Why not open the gardens? Of course, we need to be smart. For example, we can invite a few newspaper reporters and tell them that the great CEO of Missilis, Lord Shuen, has decided to open the gardens to the public."

"This way, Shuen will gain a good reputation, the public will see the beautiful flowers, and you will be able to protect the garden through public opinion. No one will have any grudges, and everyone will get what they want."

"Are you satisfied with my proposal?"

Flora's eyes lit up.

She had originally thought of looking for high-value flowers on the ground as a response strategy.

But Green's words directly reminded her that there was a better way to do this.

"Mr. Huaer, you are indeed as handsome and cool as the rumors say."

"I think I know what to do."

"However, opening the garden still requires some preparation, and we're short-staffed. Liv and Trena are both out on the ground searching for and researching new plants, so it's really difficult for me to look after it alone."
