"It's my fault, it's my fault, Ellie."
Just as Yaqing finished speaking with Aili, he saw a head pop out of the kitchen. The person was wearing a face mask and had a blank expression. It was Jie Ge. The emotion contained in his pupils startled him and made him take a step back.
Only then did they realize that Mebius had closed the courtyard gate at some point.
Yaqing looked at the people coming out from all directions of the courtyard.
Su, Ying, Kevin, Mei, Eden...
Aside from Kosmo, Ling, Gretsch, and the two Fu sisters who were at school, almost everyone from the courtyard showed up. Yaqing understood that they were here to interrogate him!
Who...who is trying to assassinate me?!
"I am a sinner!"
"I am endangering the world!"
"I have failed the people!"
"I am willing to give up everything and sincerely repent to you!"
Yaqing recited the apology he had just written in a hoarse voice, which made Kevin, who was standing behind him, feel itchy. He had an urge to take out a rattan cane and whip the guy's back hard.
"Yaqing, you've gone too far with this!" Mei was both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing him." Sakura chuckled.
Kevin grabbed Yaqing by the neck and laughed, "Will you dare to leave without saying a word next time?"
Yaqing pushed Kevin's face away in annoyance.
Sitting on the sofa.
"Eden, are you free for the song in the next movie?"
While Eden was still pondering the itinerary, Alicia came over, grabbed Yaqing's hand, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Yaqing, my dear Yaqing, please tell me, what exactly is the meaning of that last Easter egg? Otherwise, Miss Fairy won't be able to eat or sleep well."
"That's perfect, Alicia, you can lose some weight."
“Professor Mebius, Alicia is NOT fat at all!” Alicia emphasized, enunciating each word clearly.
"Aili, you're not asking about the Easter egg, are you?" Yaqing bluntly pointed out the deeper meaning in Alicia's words: "What you really want to ask is whether the machine survived or not?"
"Hehe." Alicia smiled, then looked at Yaqing with even more hopeful eyes.
"Uh...like alive."
Yaqing planned to use this excuse to get by.
"What does 'like living' mean?" Alicia pressed.
"So, is she actually alive or not? If she is, and you think she is alive, then she has always lived..." Yaqing suddenly realized that she had said a bit too much.
"Never mind, you should know by the end of this year."
“If it’s two months from now, I should have time,” Eden replied.
After receiving Eden's answer and having a short gathering with the people in the courtyard, Yaqing rushed to the company. He really wanted to know what Salome and the others had been doing at the company during the days he was away.
When Yaqing arrived at the company building, everything seemed normal. Employees were clocking in and out as usual, and the receptionist greeted them politely.
However, Salome and other high-ranking officials were nowhere to be seen.
Upon arriving at his office, Yaqing seemed to hear a commotion. Considering that his office was equipped with the best soundproofing materials in the world, the fact that he could still hear noise from inside spoke volumes.
Yaqing pushed open the door, and a sound wave-like attack entered her brain.
I am in great pain.
Ya Qing was dumbfounded to find that his office seemed to have been transformed into a nightclub. Under the colorful lights, Shi Yu Qi Luo was singing "Nightglow" at the top of her lungs. The others seemed to be used to it, all wearing earphones and doing their own thing.
Shub is drinking.
Rita was secretly looking at the photos of the three Kaslana sisters from childhood to adulthood saved on his computer, especially the folder containing Bianca Kaslana's photos, which she kept opening repeatedly.
Patrick was lying awkwardly on the table with Cheng Lixue on his back.
Cheng Lixue pressed her forehead against the table, tears streaming down her face.
"That's right, her skin used to be so different, how come she looks like a haggard old woman now..."
"You forced her to drink?" Salome said expressionlessly.
"No, just a drink." Patrick felt truly wronged.
"You...that's enough!!!"
Ya Qing's roar was drowned out by Shi Yu Qi Luo's singing, which was comparable to a sonic weapon. None of the women wearing earplugs heard it, and they didn't even notice Ya Qing's arrival.
Left with no other choice, Yaqing simply unplugged Shiyu Qiluo's speaker.
Unexpectedly, even without accompaniment, Shigure Kira still sang "affectionately" with her eyes closed.
Yaqing felt that if she listened any longer, her eardrums would perforate.
They directly pulled the power switch off the office floor.
Anyway, the top floor office is his alone.
The lights went out.
The women realized what was happening.
Shi Yu Qi Luo stopped her agonizing singing, looking at Ya Qing standing expressionlessly at the door with a mixture of surprise and guilt. "Ya...Ya Qing, you're back?"
"Yes, if I hadn't come back, you guys would have torn the house down," Yaqing said with a forced smile.
The women felt a pang of guilt.
At this critical moment, only Rita reacted, quietly deleting her browsing history and silently saving the photos to her phone.
"Is this a dance hall or a nightclub?"
Upon hearing Yaqing's question, none of the women dared to answer, and they lowered their heads guiltily.
Yaqing was helpless against them. After all, they were her sister's former subordinates and had worked together for seven or eight years. They were more like friends than colleagues.
Yaqing's punishment was not severe; she only deducted their performance bonuses.
Everyone else gets a month, but Shigure Kira gets two months.
"Hey! Why is it that they get one month while I get two months? You're targeting me!" Shi Yu Qi Luo protested.
"Because I need to get my ears treated!!!"
Chapter 195: The Prequel to Collapse - Escape from the Sky (Manga)
After the women's tireless efforts, the scene in Yaqing's office was restored to its original state. Yaqing sat helplessly in her familiar seat, tapping the table and looking at the guilty women with an unfriendly expression.
"Tell me, how did your work go while I was away?"
The women became even more nervous when the topic of work came up.
Whistling, looking at the floor, looking at the ceiling—each had a different guilty look.
Shub whistled and nudged Salome with her elbow, signaling her to go up and explain.
Salome glared at them irritably. Playing together is playing together, but when it comes to taking the blame, she's left to fend for herself. With this group of girlfriends, her life is over.
“Well, Yaqing, actually, after you left, we did think about it…” Salome stammered. She had never been good at lying since she was a child, and now she really couldn’t bring herself to say something that distorted the truth.
"Forget it, let's release one episode of the web series this weekend, and catch up on the rest as we go."
Another silence followed in response to Yaqing.
"Not even a single episode?!" Yaqing's eyes widened.
“Actually…” Salome wanted to explain.
"Fine." Ya Qing was already exasperated. "Just consider it a holiday for you guys. Alright, release the comic 'Escape from the Sky,' the short drama, and that 'Angel Reconstruction' storyline first. Don't tell me you didn't finish those two projects from a year ago."
"It's finished! It's finished!" Patrick exclaimed hurriedly. Finally, he had a task to complete and he had to seize the opportunity.
"The short film is finished too." Salome nodded.
"Get to work."
Yaqing leaned back in the soft chair.
The women dared not disturb Yaqing and tiptoed away, with Salome carefully closing the door behind them.
Yaqing knew that the creation of the film had cut into their leisure time, and the resentment they had accumulated would build up over time, so it was good to release it now.
The women who left didn't dare to take a moment with them; they were the first to post the "Escape from the Sky" comic on the official website.
From Kiana's enrollment at Chiba Academy to her acquaintance with Mei, known as the "Queen of Thunder," to her encounter with Bronya during the Honkai, and then Himeko's return to St. Freya Academy with the Ritsu family, where she meets her aunt for the first time.
"The Qiya Party has won another resounding victory!"
"School violence is so terrifying that it has actually given rise to a world-destroying Herrscher!"
"The Thunder Queen's reputation is truly formidable! Ever since meeting Kiana, I've completely turned into a rice cooker, comparable to the Herrscher of Rice!"
"Himeko-sensei! We saw Himeko-sensei again in the manga! Is this a hint? A hint that Himeko-sensei will return in the next movie!"
"To say they're hints is a stretch, since the timeline of this manga is before the three main families enrolled in St. Freya Academy, so Himeko will definitely appear."
