I will be a boss in the future world

The next morning, Tan Suhe called me to his office.

Fortunately, I finished writing the task report yesterday and handed it in on time today.

The director just lowered his head and looked through the report she wrote, his face expressionless and without any emotion.

Regardless, she tried her best, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"It seems that you already have some understanding of the nature of Honkai, and the report is very detailed. But there is one thing I am very curious about and would like to ask you."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes, and slowly fell on Yuying with a calm and considering gaze, as if he wanted to see through her appearance to the depths of her heart.

Then, he opened his lips slightly, and said in a low and calm voice, "You think the target has two extreme mentalities, which are shaped into two specific images in the collapse. How did you analyze it?"

Yuying thought for a moment, "Maybe... intuition?"

"intuition?"

Yuying nodded. "When entering Honkai, most of the elements in the scene were related to Miss Zhou, so I guessed that this might be her dream. If it is a dream, then it makes sense that the obsession in her heart has turned into a concrete image."

Tan Suhe didn't react to her explanation, but asked indifferently: "Why did you think that the collapsed world was a dream of one person from the beginning?"

"Uh……"

Of course, I have heard the legend about the dream maker...

But can I tell him about this?

Yu Ying remained calm, but said perfunctorily: "It's still my intuition. My sixth sense is pretty accurate."

"..."

Tan Suhe was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and annotated something on the report. "Okay, your report is fine."

"Yes! Then I'll go out first."

"I haven't asked you to leave yet."

"..."

"Go sit on the couch. I want to talk to you."

Yuying couldn't help but quietly rolled her eyes, but still sat on the sofa obediently, "What do you want to talk to me about? I'm not late today."

Tan Suhe picked up an electronic report and turned to sit opposite her. "Your last ability test showed all the indicators were amazing."

"But there's something very strange about this... there's a part of your brain that's blind and can't be probed."

"Do you know the reason?"

Yuying shook her head honestly, "I don't know, could it be because... I lost my memory?"

Tan Suhe asked back: "Have you ever lost your memory?"

"Well, I fell down the stairs when I was a teenager. I don't remember anything clearly before that."

"..."

He frowned and continued to ask: "What was your relationship with Yuan at that time?"

"Friends who grew up together, haven't you already investigated this?"

Tan Suhe said: "Didn't you lose your memory when you were a teenager? How do you know that you grew up together?"

"He told you?"

"right……"

Yuying nodded, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Tan Suhe lowered his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something carefully.

"Have you ever had a history of...suicidal tendencies or schizophrenia?"

Yuying frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean, why would I commit suicide?"

"Hey! Just because I have two powers, you don't think I'm schizophrenic, do you?"

Tan Suhe shook his head, "No, you misunderstood."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the general public, people with special abilities are indeed called mentally ill, but superpowers are not mental illnesses. They are the result of the evolution of the human brain. Because of this, this field is still full of unknowns."

"But your situation is different from the other superpowers I've met before."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, with a probing light in his eyes.

"Your abilities are even stronger and can even affect the real world. You are very, very special, you know that?"

Hearing his words, Yuying was already stunned.

Affect the real world? This is indeed something she has never discovered.

"But there is another point, which is also very worrying. In your subconscious mind, you are full of doubts about yourself."

"Perhaps you haven't even realized it yourself... You have serious psychological problems, or even a tendency to self-destruct."

Yu Ying: "...!!!"

"I don't know what happened to you in the past...but your amnesia may be related to this incident."

Seeing Yuying standing there with a pale face, Tan Suhe sighed slightly and lowered his head.

"Okay, I don't mean to scare you. I just want to understand your situation and remind you that a person's self-perception is often based on the entire social relationship."

"You can't exist independently, nor can you disappear out of thin air. Your name is your identity, your position among your companions, your position in the world. If you understand this sentence, you should understand that you have already been bound to the whole world. You are not alone."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head.

"You have an identity, a position, and a name."

"Yu Ying..."

"Do you understand me?"

Unlike his usual serious tone, his voice at this moment was unusually penetrating, and the two words in his name seemed to carry some kind of power, gently vibrating in her heart.

"..."

Yuying was stunned by these words, her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, and she didn't say anything for a while.

After a while, she slowly came back to her senses, sorted out her shaken emotions, smiled slightly, and nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't destroy myself."

Tan Suhe moved his lips and for a moment wanted to explain to her, but seeing her heartless smile, the words rolled around the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them silently.

"Ahem... who said you were going to self-destruct? I was just worried that you might have mental problems that would affect your work and your mission."

Yuying rolled her eyes silently in her heart, "Tsk, can I leave now?"

"Well, go get busy."

Just as she stood up, Tan Suhe seemed to remember something and called her.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"...?"

"Miss Zhou said that she must thank you in person for saving her. She might come to the Security Bureau today, so she told you in advance."

Yuying was surprised: "No need, isn't it enough to just ask her to thank you?"

Tan Suhe raised her eyelids slightly and said in a light tone, "I haven't seen her mother, beaten her dolls, or helped her untie the knot. It's you she wants to thank."

"..."

"We are all the same age, so it shouldn't be difficult to get along with each other. Miss Zhou doesn't have many friends, so she is quite similar to you, isn't she?"

Yuying hesitated and said, "But she is the eldest daughter of the consortium, I..."

"What happened to the consortium?"

Tan Suhe interrupted her and said, "Don't let material things and class become your tinted glasses, Yuying."

“People’s hearts are all equal, and no one does not desire friends.”

"..."

"You're right, I'm stubborn. I'll go see her, don't worry."

Tan Suhe smiled slightly and said, "Go get busy."

It was already afternoon in a daze, and after lunch Yuying began to feel drowsy.

Looking at the information on the computer, the words on the screen were crawling like ants. Yuying rubbed her eyes, trying to make herself more awake, but the densely packed words still made her feel dizzy.

Just as she was about to fall down with her eyes narrowed, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"I told you not to follow me!"

"I told you I can do it myself! You are so nosy!"

"But the master told me to keep an eye on you every step of the way."

"You rarely go out alone, and we are worried about you."

"Hmph, stop explaining! You're just a follower! So annoying!"

Hearing these two familiar voices, my sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Before Yuying could stand up, the office door opened with a bang.

"Ah! This is it!"

She walked into the room lightly, like a dancing butterfly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The girl is tall and slender, with natural and generous manners, a pair of beautiful big eyes, and a smile as warm and kind as the spring breeze. She is like a peony flower in bud, delicate and beautiful but not vulgar and artificial.

She looked around, her eyes lit up, and finally her gaze fixed on Yuying. Then she smiled slightly and waved at Yuying somewhat stiffly.

"Hi, hello, I'm Zhou Manyin."

Yuying withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and smiled friendly, "I know, we have met before."

Zhou Manyin was obviously very surprised by this, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh, yes, yes, I should say... Hi, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again."

She didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, so she quickly waved behind her.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"

Wu Han came in at her invitation, holding a bunch of gift bags in his hands.

"There were too many things, and I couldn't hold them steady and almost dropped them."

As he said this, he piled the things on Yuying's desk, and seemed to finally be relieved. "Sometimes you dislike me for following you, and sometimes you dislike me for walking too slowly. Oh, I have it so hard."

Yuying looked over in confusion: "What are these?"

"It's my gift to you!"

The face is the same, but the smile is so focused and warm that it shines brighter than a gem.

Zhou Manyin smiled a little shyly, but looked at her sincerely. "Of course, other colleagues have some too. I don't know what you like, so I bought some more. Just consider it as a token of my gratitude to you."

Yuying was amused by her eccentric tone, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Don't be so polite, it's just work."

Hearing this, Wu Han also smiled and said, "Take it. This also shows the master's kindness."

"I originally wanted to thank you in person and have a meal together, but Director Tan said that you were too busy at work and it was inconvenient, so I had to come to your house in person."

"Wow! So many presents!"

Seeing that the others were in a stalemate over accepting gifts after their conversation, Lin Meng exclaimed from his seat, and quickly came over, grinning and saying, "Miss Zhou is so generous, I won't be polite then, hehe."

Even Song Zhimian smiled faintly, "The office is too messy, and there's no place to greet people. Since they came to see you specifically, why don't you go out and sit with them?"

Seeing Zhou Manyin's expectant smile, and obviously having something else to say to her, Yuying could only nod and stand up, "If you don't mind, I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

Thinking of something, she added, "It's not some fancy coffee, just the kind from the vending machine in the building."

"I don't dislike it! I don't dislike it!"

Zhou Manyin waved her hand quickly, "I haven't tasted that kind of coffee yet, it's a good opportunity to try it."

"Pfft, let's go then."

Sitting on the terrace in the rest area, Zhou Manyin looked very happy. She visited and looked around, seeming to be very curious about the environment here.

Yuying smiled, "She seems to be fine now, like a different person."

Wu Han's eyes were always attracted by the person in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his soft brows.

"Yes, she has changed a lot since she woke up. Maybe the nightmare of her childhood is really over and she has finally come out of it."

"That's great. She will get better and better."

"Yuying, why do you want to be a police officer?"

"Eh?"

Zhou Manyin suddenly turned around and asked, and Yuying almost didn't react.

She scratched her forehead embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, can I call you Yuying?"

Yuying smiled and nodded, "Of course, Miss Zhou, please feel free to do as you please."

Hearing this, Zhou Manyin smiled shyly, "Don't call me Miss Zhou anymore, just call me by my name. I want to be friends with you, Yuying."

"!?"

"I know you must be surprised. It seems that we have never communicated with each other. But have you forgotten? The little baby Ai in the dream... is actually me."

"..."

"She is my dark nightmare and also my childhood obsession. She is another me, another self that I admired as a child. She is very cute, knows how to act like a spoiled child, and has extraordinary luck. She can make everyone who meets her like her sincerely."

“Once upon a time, I also hoped to be like her.”

"But when I grew up, I realized... How could someone who hates himself be liked by others? So I almost gave up and almost died in a nightmare."

"That childhood obsession, that closest friend, eventually became a demon in my heart that claimed my life."

"But even so, you still told her...she was not an unwanted child, and there would always be someone who liked her. She believed me, so I should be braver too."

"This time, I will take the initiative to step out of my castle."

“I don’t want to feel sorry for myself anymore, and I don’t want to wait for others to save me anymore.”

"so……"

She held out her hand.

"I want to be friends with you."

"Will you be my friend?"

Two similar yet different sentences, but the tone is equally serious and confident.

Yuying smiled down and held her hand, "Of course I do, baby Ai."

"Haha...what a friendly name."

"It suits you very well. You look a lot like her now. You're very cute too."

"So we're just friends from now on?"

"That's right, baby Ai, we'll be friends from now on."

"Hey...you're not going to keep calling me that, are you?"

“Hahaha, it depends on the situation.”

The two chatted and laughed for a long time, and the atmosphere became harmonious unconsciously.

When I calmed down, I realized...

She is actually a very naive girl, easy-going yet cautious.

It turns out he was right, no one doesn't long for friends.

It seems that we really shouldn't judge people's hearts based on their material and class. That's too immature.
