I will be a boss in the future world

Yuying signed and fingerprinted without thinking, then handed it to him.

"Can you let us go now?"

When she said let it go, she meant that the Security Bureau would not cause trouble for herself and Shi Yuan in the future, and they could no longer threaten them with the evidence of the previous intrusion into the NPC system.

Tan Suhe looked at her neat movements, and suddenly laughed with an ambiguous tone, saying, "Are you sure you don't want to take a closer look?"

"It's a fifteen-year indenture. It's so easy for you to sell yourself."

"..."

Yuying shrugged, looking nonchalant: "It doesn't matter. You won't give me a chance to negotiate terms anyway."

“…Oh, that’s right.”

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand to take the electronic screen, turned to the column for approval by the top leader, loosened his tie lazily, and signed his name.

"Then welcome to join SDA."

"From now on, you will still be a member of TOX, but after entering the virtual world, you will need to complete special tasks assigned by SDA."

"SDA?"

Never heard of it.

"SDA, the Special Fringe Division of the Security Bureau. Each member acts independently, is not under the jurisdiction of any department, and receives orders directly from me."

He kindly reminded: "Since you didn't read the terms carefully, I'd better emphasize them again."

"SDA's mission is very special. All information must be kept confidential, including your teammates in TOX."

"If you accidentally violate..."

As he spoke, his voice paused, his eyes became very serious, and he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The consequences will be serious, do you understand?"

"..."

Yuying nodded obediently, "Oh, I see. At worst, I can just kill him to silence him."

"..."

She asked again, "What do you need me to do this time?"

Tan Suhe smiled slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and said lazily, "Don't worry."

"I'll let you know once you've completed the ability test."

"Ability test?"

Now Yuying finally felt a little nervous. This ability test, wouldn't it be able to detect that she was not the original one?

Although there are many challenges and dangers in this world, she still cherishes life very much.

Tan Suhe seemed to have not heard and ignored Yuying's question. He walked back to his desk leisurely, put down the "indenture" he had just signed, and then pressed something and said to the transparent screen on the desk: "Minister Sha, come to my office."

There was a quick response from the other end of the communicator, and it seemed to be a woman's voice.

After a while, the office door opened automatically, and a girl in her early twenties walked in. She looked very capable.

Under her curved eyebrows, the girl has a pair of bright and clear eyes that shine like stars. Her fair and flawless skin is slightly pink. Her small lips are red without any makeup and look tender and juicy. She has a pretty oval face and a faint smile, with dimples on her cheeks that seem to be smiling. She is very beautiful.

She was dressed elegantly, with delicate features, a simple and casual ponytail, and a pair of large black-framed glasses on her face. She looked at Yuying with some curiosity.

I just heard Tan Suhe call her "Minister Sha"...

It sounds like a high position, but I didn't expect he is so young.

After Yuying and her looked at each other briefly, the girl withdrew her gaze, straightened her expression, and said in a serious tone: "Director Tan, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Tan Suhe nodded: "Yes, let me introduce you first..."

"This is a new member of the SDA Operations Department, her name is Wen Yuying, she is also a member of TOX, please help her do a comprehensive ability test and give me the report within today."

Then, he looked at Yu Ying again and introduced her briefly: "This is the director of SDA's Consciousness Research Department - Sha Mingshu."

"She is a professional doctor of brain science. She will be responsible for your data monitoring work."

Sha Mingshu extended her hand politely, but her eyes could not hide her surprise. However, she did not have the courage to question Tan Suhe's decision directly in front of him.

"Hello, I heard about you from Section Chief Song. I'm glad to be your colleague again."

Yuying also politely returned the handshake and nodded in thanks: "Hello, thank you."

She blinked and smiled slightly, two dimples faintly visible, "Your name is Yuying, right? You look about the same age as me. I didn't expect you to be willing to go to the SDA Operations Department to perform special missions."

Working two jobs...

Yuying laughed dryly and replied bitterly: "Haha, I have no choice."

"...?"

Sha Mingshu didn't understand her hidden meaning.

Hearing this, the "persuader" Tan Suhe coughed and gave a warning look.

"Those who can enter SDA are not ordinary people. Even the most dangerous jobs have to be done by someone."

His face darkened, and he began to act like a director, his voice dignified: "Instead of wasting time here, you'd better get to work and give me the report as soon as possible."

Sha Mingshu instantly became nervous, and the smile on her face became stiff. She stammered, "Oh... OK, OK."

"I understand. Come with me."

Yu Ying had just turned around with Sha Mingshu when the person behind her called her lazily.

"By the way... after finishing the test, you don't need to come back to me. Xue Jian will take you back to TOX first..."

"I heard that your previous uniforms, equipment and weapons were destroyed. Remember to register and collect them at the Logistics Department."

He thought for a moment and added, "I will be your direct supervisor from now on. I don't care how you perform in TOX, but you must report anything related to the mission to me in a timely manner."

"..."

"so troublesome."

It's annoying enough that I have to hide here and there like a traitor when working, and this guy has to monitor me all the time.

I complained quietly, but I didn't expect that he would hear it.

"trouble?"

Tan Suhe sneered and raised his head, saying, "I'm afraid your troubles have just begun."

"..."

The two people who were about to walk out suddenly quickened their pace and walked away from the office.

After walking some distance from the office, the girl next to me let out a sigh of relief, as if she finally relaxed.

Sha Mingshu patted her chest and said in a panic, "Really? I almost offended him again by accident."

"This cold-faced devil is so fierce all the time. No wonder no one wants him no matter how handsome he is."

"puff--"

Hearing this complaint, Yu Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that great minds think alike. It turned out that she had met a close friend.

Hearing her laugh, Sha Mingshu turned back a little embarrassedly and explained, "Sorry, the work pressure is too great, and I couldn't help but complain a little."

She waved her hand and glanced at Yuying's face, asking carefully, "Just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't tell him."

Yuying shook her head, "Don't worry, I want to scold him more than you do."

Hearing this, Sha Mingshu was surprised, but then she remembered that Yuying was working two jobs and nodded in understanding. She smiled with her hands covering her mouth and showed a friendly look.

"The SDA operates independently, and you rarely see girls, especially in the operations department of the front-line dangerous work department. You must be very powerful, right?"

Unexpectedly, a look of grief and anger gradually emerged on Yuying's face. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, I'm not powerful."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here. I should have been hiding in TOX waiting for my teammates to return from the mission."

"...?"

Sha Mingshu was confused.

Seeing that she obviously didn't understand, Yu Ying smiled and shook his head, saying helplessly: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Perhaps we will interact more often in the future. Please take care of me, Minister Sha."

Sha Mingshu was also very straightforward. "We are all the same age, so there is no need to use such official language. It's awkward. Just treat it as making friends and call me Mingshu."

Yuying nodded, "Okay, you can call me Yuying too."

I didn’t expect that on the first day back to work, I didn’t see my teammates, but I met an interesting same-sex friend here.

This girl is smart, capable, mature and generous, and her sincere and cheerful personality is very likable.

But for some reason, her temperament always reminds me of someone else.

Perhaps it was just my own illusion.

Taking the elevator downstairs, I followed Sha Mingshu into a room full of computer equipment.

The interior design of the laboratory is exquisite and advanced. The walls and floors are made of smooth metal, emitting a faint blue light. Large round glass cabinets display various complex electronic equipment and biological samples. Complex data flashes on various screens. It looks like some kind of laboratory.

A huge projection wall in the center displays colorful brain scan images, flashing with mysterious light. These images reflect patterns of brain activity and help researchers understand the workings of thinking and consciousness.

Computer terminals in the laboratory are densely arranged on the workbench, displaying various real-time data and computational simulations. High-speed processing capabilities and artificial intelligence technology help researchers conduct complex analysis and model building.

The air in the room must have been purified by filters, maintaining a good environment and temperature. The light is soft and even, and will not interfere with research.

The laboratory also has confidentiality measures to ensure the security of research data and results.

"This is my research room, which is used to detect various data of the brain."

"We will use a program to stimulate your brain nerves in a moment, which may make you fall asleep."

Although everyone entering the Security Bureau has undergone ordinary ability tests, the level of ability tests specifically for SDA members is obviously different. Sha Mingshu intends to do her best to calm Wen Yuying's nervous mood.

"Don't be afraid, it will only take a short time and there will be no danger during the process."

She nodded to the assistant beside her and motioned Yuying to go to the next room.

"Go get ready, the staff will tell you what to do."

"it is good."

Wearing a special tights and wrapped with data cables all over her body, Yuying was taken into the experimental site.

The room is very different from the outside. It is not large and has a trapezoidal structure with only a shallow pool.

Following the staff's instructions, Yuying lay on her back in the pool.

The water was not cold at all, as if it contained some special ingredient.

As I floated, I felt a warmth in my body and my mind gradually relaxed.

After the staff left, Sha Mingshu's voice was heard from the loudspeaker in the room.

"Are you ready?"

"Relax, we're about to start."

As Yuying fell with a gentle "hmm", a slight sizzling sound was heard, her body trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

Yuying felt her forehead gradually becoming numb, as if the detection program had started running.

But before she felt sleepy, her body suddenly sank? !

The floor beneath the water seemed to melt, and my body instantly lost support and began to fall continuously, as if being pulled by some force.

But apart from watching all this happening, she couldn't move her hands or feet. She felt like she was falling into an endless abyss, or sinking into the vast universe. It was pitch black all around, there was no sound, and no visible objects.

The light above my head was getting smaller and farther away.

But my still clear brain reminded me to stay calm no matter what.

Sha Mingshu said that this test may cause people to fall asleep.

Although it looked like he was sinking into the water, his body could not feel any water flow.

Yuying tried to take a deep breath——

There was no choking, no suffocation, and not even any resistance.

Dream?

She actually entered into a dream while she was awake.

Realizing this, my falling speed slowed down, and the surroundings changed. My body floated and landed somewhere, and my hands and feet slowly regained consciousness.

In the darkness, spots of light flickered and gathered together, slowly piecing together a picture.

A little girl gradually appeared in front of Yuying...

She was wearing thin clothes and looked dishevelled. There was not a single clean spot on her body, and her face was covered with traces of tears that had not yet been wiped away.

Faintly, I could hear the harsh sounds of beating and scolding, but the little girl was huddled in a dark and dirty corner, barefoot and trembling all over.

A vague memory flashed through his mind, and Yuying couldn't help but hold his forehead.

This little girl...seems to be herself?!

She remembered that when she was a child, she had been scared and trembling like this.

I didn’t know where I was being held, but I could always hear adults beating and scolding me and children crying.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully.

The warm light instantly illuminates the room and shines into the dark corners.

A man walked out of the light, smiling and holding out his hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out of here."

He had his back to the light, and Yuying could not see the man clearly.

I just vaguely remember...

He hugged me gently, and there was a warm and reassuring smell about him.

Just like the sunset deep in my memory, just like always holding my father’s hand.

In a trance, Yuying suddenly found that she had already turned into this little girl.

The warmth in my arms was so real, I could even smell the faint scent of tobacco on the man.

She was held tightly by the man, walked out of the dim room and through the messy alley.

The picture became blurry and changed, and the light in front of my eyes gradually became brighter.

The man kept holding her hand, walking hurriedly, but no one knew where he was going.

As his sanity gradually returned, Yuying suddenly realized—

This may be a memory that she has lost without realizing it.

My heartbeat suddenly quickened, and I couldn't help but blurt out the question that had been lingering in my mind.

"who are you?"

"Why did you come to rescue me?"

The man never spoke, and his face could not be seen clearly.

But the hands that the two had been holding... suddenly became a little different?

It seemed that without her noticing, she had grown a little bigger and the man had become a little smaller.

The touch in my hand was somewhat familiar, and the scene in front of me changed again.

All I saw was a gray haze all around, like a vast snowfield or an endless wilderness.

The fingertips holding her slowly tightened, and a familiar voice rang in her ears——

"From now on, we must rely on each other and work harder to survive."

"Yu Ying..."

"You are the most important person to me now."
