Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"Hmm... I understand. This thought is what matters most..."

Ayane felt that Momo had become a bit taller in front of her. However, Momo herself didn't seem to understand the profound meaning of her words. She just recounted her daily life with Danrito.

As a result, Ayane's face was filled with tears, and she was shaking Momo's hands up and down. Momo just followed Ayane's shaking arms with an OwO look on her face. Although I don't know what's going on, but I think it's okay to match the atmosphere, right?

No matter how joyful the dinner party in Abydos was, it had to end. Xiaomo, Xiaolu, and Kayoko were going back to their respective places. Kayoko could stay out all night, and maybe even Alu would envy her, which would make her look like a "villain."

But Momo and Lu had registered their departure times with Yuuka, and if they stayed out all night, Yuuka would scold them all day. Even with his responsibilities as a consultant to the game development department, Danrito had to take responsibility for sending these two children back to the millennium.

"I'm back." Kayoko pushed the door open and took the slippers off the shoe rack. "I came back a little late today, but I brought you cinnamon Danish and cream seaweed and pork floss bagels."

DU District, on the second floor of Huanmeng Group's headquarters, at the new location of Convenience House 68, Huanmeng's non-staff special affairs processing department, and concurrently the manager of the Huanmeng Game branch in the Gehenna School District, Lu Bamo Alu raised his head from the new phone in front of him.

Ever since taking on the position of store manager of this branch, Alu has had a lot more spare money - this high-end mobile phone with an imported leather back cover is Alu's new purchase. She just got it today and has been happily playing with it for nearly three hours, with the smile on her face still not fading.

When Alu heard the sound of Kayoko pushing the door open, she finally reacted and hurriedly checked the time, only to find that the hour hand had already passed halfway to 10.

"Hmm, um! Kayoko, you came back very late today. Were you caught in some trouble?"

Alu quickly put down her phone and looked up to see if Kayoko was injured. Aside from the dust on her clothes, Kayoko was basically unharmed, which made Alu feel a little relieved.

Alu cares a lot about her employees.

"Today... I was originally going to check out a cat cafe on that commercial street I'd been eyeing for a long time, but I ran into the president and some people from Abydos on the way, so I turned around and went to Abydos."

"Yeah, so you went to Abydos." Alu nodded repeatedly. Mutsuki, who was playing the game console next to her, tilted his head and said, "Kayoko-chan, what are you doing there for no reason?"

"That is, just care about their current situation."

Kayoko placed the snacks she brought back on the table. "We attacked them for hire before, but now there seem to be signs of cooperation between Abydos and Huanmeng. Even if it's for future work, we need to repair the relationship."

"Oh~ So that's what you're thinking?" Mutsuki's expression turned into a smile that would make you turn your head away involuntarily: "Kayoko-chan is worthy of being our military advisor~ She actually considered such things~ On the contrary, Alu has not made any progress. Recently, she has been obsessed with the boring position of being a store manager. It's simply a dereliction of duty~"

"Who, who said that! I only work under the president to learn his villainous style!"

When Ah Lu heard Mutsuki's seemingly disapproving remarks, she quickly retorted, "Right, right! Isn't overthrowing your superiors also a necessary evil? That's right! This is my way of keeping a low profile!"

"Hey, is that really the case?" Mutsuki smiled a devilish smile. "Lu actually thought of such a sinister plan? That's amazing! So, are you working on any specific plans?"

"This, this, that..." Alu seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her hesitant look made it seem like the pressure from her subordinates was very effective for Alu. Besides, based on Mutsuki's understanding of Alu, Mutsuki's instigation was almost always effective.

"Mutsuki, stop making trouble. The president's power is not something you and I can contend with."

Kayoko, who was standing by, rarely shouted to stop Mutsuki before he started to act, instead of thinking of a strategy for everyone with a helpless look after Mutsuki started to add fuel to the fire and everyone was caught up in the whirlpool.

"If you want to do something, give up the idea."

Mutsuki's eyes widened at Kayoko's unusually resolute denial. Haruka, who was tending to the weeds nearby, held her watering can and held out her hand slightly, unsure how to begin.

"Kayoko-chan, have you also been 'tamed'?"

The light from above was blocked by Mutsuki's hair, making it difficult for Kayoko to see her eyes.

"I simply saw the true disparity in power. Bravery and recklessness are two different things."

Kayoko's expression was serious, and Mutsuki's aura became somewhat suppressed. Alu looked at Mutsuki in surprise and said tentatively: "Mutsuki, are you a little tired..."

"Alu, shut up!!!"

“Eh ...

Mutsuki raised his head and glared, his eyes wide open, and his aura even frightened Alu and Haruka. Alu huddled on the sofa, hugging her pillow, not daring to breathe.

"Mutsuki."

Kayoko looked at Mutsuki in front of her without fear, but it was just this look that would not shake Kayoko.

"Listen to me."

"No way~"

Mutsuki's lips curled up into a sinister smile. "I don't have much to talk about with a tamed dog. The same goes for you, Kayoko-chan, Alu, and Haruka. Have you been enjoying your comfortable life too much lately?"

Kayoko's cold gaze pierced Mutsuki in front of her: "The president didn't stop us from continuing the convenience house activities."

"Oh, really? That's what happened."

Mutsuki's expression turned cold. "So, what about the convenience store activities, Lu?"

"It's just that I haven't come across any big, villain-worthy orders lately..." Alu swallowed, "Um, Mutsuki, are you angry? I'll go look for them right away!"

"Ah... no need for that. You've all changed. I thought we were the same people."

Mutsuki raised his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath through his nose, and exhaled through his mouth.

"In that case, I will pursue my own path as an evil man."

Mutsuki reached out to grab his bag and weapon and walked to the door. Alu, who had frantically climbed up from the sofa, rushed over in panic and grabbed Mutsuki's hand.

"Mutsuki! Are you angry because we haven't held any convenience store activities these days? Um! I apologize to you, okay? I will continue to do the convenience store activities, don't leave--"

Mutsuki's voice was cold: "Let go, Lu."

"No! No no! Why are you suddenly saying something like that?"

Ah Lu shook her head frantically, holding onto Mutsuki's hand tightly. "Everyone has a nicer office and more money than before. Isn't everything good? Why? Why?"

"Nothing, Alu, you can continue to be the store manager here. I'm going to find some fun myself."

Leaving these words behind, Mutsuki struggled to free herself from Alu's tugging hand and walked into the darkened company corridor. In her bag, a black and white cassette tape flashed dimly.

193. Secret Calculation (4k)

Ruthlessly abandoning Alu, who had fallen to her knees, Mutsuki walked into the dark corridor of the company alone. It was only after he walked out of the company's door that Mutsuki turned around and glanced at the Huanmeng Company behind him.

"Alu, I understand. You just lack an opportunity to continue being a villain."

Mutsuki looked at the black and white cassette in his bag. Under the neon lights of the night, the bold black and white knight zombie on the cassette looked unexpectedly ferocious.

"Since this is a secret development project that took so much effort, there must be some hidden secret behind this card."

That's right, what Mutsuki was holding in his hand was the special cassette, "Dangerous Zombies", which Danreto's Genmu Company had been working on day and night with a single machine to perfect the data.

Perhaps from the perspective of game cartridges, "Dangerous Zombies" is just a dream, the one with a more special version number among the company's flagship products currently under development.

Not only are the R&D schedule and progress kept completely confidential, but even among the company's employees, very few people are aware of this project.

But from another perspective, it was strange that such a crucial cartridge development process was completely unattended. Perhaps President Danrito refused to trust even the robot employees, or perhaps the dangerous zombie cartridge under development was so special and important that the development process had to be completely isolated from all human operators.

"I'm sorry, Lu. A comfortable life isn't what I'm looking for." Putting away the cassette, Mutsuki continued walking forward in the night. "An exciting and ever-changing life is what I want."

"Since everyone in the convenience house wants to stay where they are, don't blame me for abandoning all of you."

Crossing the streets and walking through the alleys, the crowds around Mutsuki became increasingly sparse. It was already late at night, and there were no students on the streets. Only a few robot citizens who were still on night shifts could be seen leaving their jobs.

The direction Mutsuki continued walking didn't look like a place where good people would gather. The roadside was littered with thugs and girls, along with pure black security robots without any visual indicators, and even pure black tanks without any visual indicators.

This place seems to have already entered the lair of the underground forces of Kivotos, and calling it a black market is the most appropriate scene.

Although this was a black market, there were still absolute rules within this lawless place; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the rules of chaos. Mu Yue seemed quite familiar with these matters. She gave the code word with ease and entered the black market.

She followed him deeper and deeper into the market. Finally, in front of a door, Mutsuki stopped. But her hand remained in mid-air, as if she was still debating whether to knock.

"Come in, Miss Mutsuki. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A deep voice came from behind the door, as if he had already known that Mutsuki was waiting outside. This voice was like a magic spell, and after revealing Mutsuki's confusion, Mutsuki subconsciously opened the door and walked into the room.

The room was completely different from the chaotic environment seen in the black market outside. On the contrary, the decoration inside was very stylish.

The floor is covered with thick carpets, the walls are carefully painted, and the furniture inside the house is fully furnished, which is a world of difference from the scenery outside.

"I've been waiting for you to make a decision, Ms. Mutsuki, but it seems you're still confused."

The voices echoed as Mu Yue entered the room and finally saw the real person. He was wearing a brown detective uniform, leaning on a cane in his right hand, and holding a portrait in an exceptionally exquisite wooden frame in his left.

The head in the portrait does not show his full face like other portraits, but only the back of his head is exposed.

What is frightening is that the head of this body wearing a coat has no flesh or blood at all, only a pile of black smoke coming out of it.

If you look closely, you can find that the head wearing a hat in the portrait held in this person's hand seems to have a subtle connection with the headless person today.

"This is the first time I've seen your true face, Golconda."

A hint of shock flashed across Mutsuki's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. After all, the man's appearance was indeed a little too different from ordinary people, so it was understandable that he was scared.

If Ah Lu were here, she would definitely scream. It took her less than two seconds to calm herself down. She had seen so many similar things before that she was always able to control her emotions well.

"Hahaha, then I think our interactions will be quite close in the future."

Golconda's voice began to laugh, but his laughter was dull, like the sound coming from a metal can that had been recited many times. It seemed that the laughter did not come from any vocal organ, as if it was floating out from the cracks of a picture frame.

"But I still need to formally introduce myself to you. Golconda is me in the frame. And the person who is in charge of my body that you see now is called the Printing Glaze."

"Haha, yes, it's me~"

The sound of the printed glaze method sounds more exciting than Golconda, but this is not the focus of Golconda today.

After Mutsuki entered the room, Golconda's eyes were fixed on the bag in Mutsuki's hand. It seemed that he could see through the bag and see what was in it.

"Then let me see the results you bring." Golconda extended his hand to Mutsuki in front of him.

Mutsuki hesitated for a moment, but finally opened his backpack and took out a black and white cassette.

On the cover of the game cartridge, a black and white fin de siècle knight roared, a terrifying scene of countless zombies surging in the background. This was the special cartridge that Danrito's Dream Company was secretly producing—"Dangerous Zombies."

"Oh, yes, absolutely, that's it!"

Even with his back turned, Golconda exclaimed in delight, "I can sense the immense power within this cartridge. Ah! Is this what the converted game cartridges that Mr. Danrito has been researching truly look like? His genius is truly beyond our comprehension!"

"What a pity, what a pity. It would be much better if it was the Alchemy Player cartridge." The voice of Printing Glaze came from the side.

"It's okay, it's already very good."

Came Golconda's voice.

"You know what? My existence and that of the glaze technique are texts revealed through the interpretation of symbols and virtual images."

Golconda reached out to Mutsuki, asking for the cassette. "In our world, everything is made up of symbols. All existence is made up of symbols—this is how Inhua and I see the world."

"Huh? Can you speak human language?"

Mutsuki didn't seem to understand what Golconda meant by this sentence at this time, and Golconda didn't seem to explain the meaning of this sentence further. He just wanted to express his feelings when he saw this cassette.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a person talking to himself."

Golconda looked at Mutsuki who handed the cassette to him. "Symbols represent understanding, meaning, and symbolism. Just like the meaning of this cassette. In fact, at the beginning, I didn't have any expectations for the cassette you brought back."

In fact, regarding the game cartridges circulating on the market, Shumihui has already purchased a large number of samples for research, but the result is naturally nothing.

After all, the game cartridges that can be released by Danrito and circulated on the market basically only contain game functions without any additional additions.

So even if the research is done, the most we can do is sigh at the level of gaming technology contained in this small cartridge, and finally add that it is a waste of resources.

The cartridge Mutsuki brought out now actually gave Golconda a pleasant surprise. It was a game cartridge that Dream Games was developing, and it was a Knight version of the game cartridge.

More importantly, the data contained in this cassette, after Golconda used his mystical skills to analyze it for a moment, he could feel that the data contained in it was the "death" collected at the moment of the fall of some special existence.

"Hey, don't forget."

Mu Yue's voice suddenly came from the side. He looked at the strange man in front of him, who was looking at the black and white cassette over and over again, almost forgetting about her completely. He said in a very dissatisfied voice, "We agreed on this. I will help you get the cassette out, and you have to bring the dangerous and exciting life back to me."

"Oh, of course, of course, how could I forget?"

Golconda's voice sounded very cheerful, so cheerful that one would think that it was the glaze method speaking for him.

"In fact, this cassette is the best carrier. Although it would be more cost-effective to use it now for long-term research, considering the possible consequences, even I dare not take any more risks."

"As the saying goes, observation is part of research."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Mutsuki had no idea what Gorkonda in front of him was trying to do, he just knew that he was mumbling something.

"You know what, Mutsuki-san? In the world of symbols, certain very rare situations occasionally occur."

Golconda's voice came: "Certain well-known stories or urban legends will gradually acquire their own nobility due to their continuous dissemination."

Reaching out and holding the game cartridge, Golconda carefully looked at the creation of God in front of him, and a look of joy and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"To put it simply, it achieves a sublime state without any 'mystery' or 'horror'. Just like the theme of this cassette."

"Dangerous Zombies" is a zombie-themed survival game set at the end of the century. The protagonist is a powerful zombie warrior who is infected by zombies and possesses the power of immortality, but still maintains an active brain - what a familiar story!"
