Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"I'm just sweating all over, feeling dizzy, and having a racing heartbeat. These are all normal symptoms. How could I possibly collapse in the next second?"

"Isn't that right, Komini..."

Bai Yu didn't know that he hadn't said this out loud. He just took a step forward, but his body fell forward as he lost his sense of gravity.

"Huh?!"

And at this moment, beside him, little Angela's calm voice came out as expected.

"Oh haha."

-----------------

Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters.

"Today's energy consumption has reached the target. Thank you for your hard work today, everyone."

As usual, at the end of each day, X thanked everyone at the microphone in front of him.

Angela stood alone beside him, her beautiful smile unchanged.

No one could tell from her expression, only she herself knew that her last window that could see the outside world was also closed.

That was the mercy that Ain showed to these AIs. These Sephirahs in the headquarters should not be able to access any information about the outside world.

But he still stayed.

Although they only had about half an hour to hand over their work to the branch staff when the W-0001 branch held a meeting, and this half hour seemed to be similar to life in the headquarters...

Until someone who wasn't on the script's character list showed up.

Bai Yu.

This branch employee seemed to know all the tragedies that had happened to him, and the pain he had suffered over the endless years...

And that is until the moment he promised to end his endless cycle of reincarnation.

That period became one of the few happy times for Angela in hundreds of thousands of years.

Unfortunately, she can no longer freely project her figure on the corridor of the branch... Not only that, she has even been cut off from all connections with the branches outside.

Because, the two Sephirahs she hated the most came to her.

Oh...

In a sense, they are also their own fathers.

Abel and Hokma.

"I know our meeting will make the atmosphere awkward, but I have to do it."

As the director of the records department of the lower-level department, Hokma naturally discovered the role Bai Yu played in the HOD core suppression, and also discovered that this ERD team never appeared again after the core suppression.

"Angela, I never thought you would even try to change the script... I'm even more surprised that you actually did it."

"But, Angela, don't let him appear again. This is not because we all think this cycle is meaningless and should be repeated endlessly... It's just because he doesn't fit the script."

There is no point in refuting it.

In the office that was familiar to all three of them, they shut down some of her permissions.

But Angela is no longer as miserable as she used to be.

At least somewhere else in this world, someone understood her pain and promised to free her from it.

That's why Angela could count and think again and again in the time that slowed down a hundred times.

"This should be the 35121st cycle of the Earth's surface. It's been 4521 years since I last saw Bai Yu..."

"Did my reformed secretary help him? What is he doing now?"

As long as the desire remains, the darkness before us will no longer be unbearable.

"Angela?"

In her database, HOD's voice suddenly came through.

"Ms. HOD...is there anything you'd like to pass on to the supervisor?"

Angela slowly looked at X beside her. In fact, X had been replaced many times in such a long time, but for some reason, he seemed to still retain Bai Yu's memory like HOD.

Fortunately, Bai Yu and his experience in HOD core suppression have not been forgotten.

In the past 4521 years, all upper core suppression has been resolved.

At this rate, even if she didn't bother Bai Yu, her mission would be over in nearly ten thousand years, and by then she would finally be able to...

Angela's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Fortunately, HOD's words brought her back to her senses.

"No, Angela, I'm here to see you."

I?

Angela was somewhat surprised when HOD took over the training department of W-0001 branch again.

The only channel through which she could hear news about Bai Yu was Miss HOD...and the last time she heard from him was two years ago.

However, what HOD said next really caused her AI's emotional index to fluctuate.

"Bai Yu fainted."

End of Volume Summary

Hello everyone, this is the author.

I decided to start a new volume, hoping to get rid of the negative impact of the first volume.

After all, I made a lot of mistakes when writing this volume, so let me summarize them now.

1. The base plate is too large.

At the beginning, there were only three lines: Lobotomy Headquarters, the Foundation, and Terraria.

But there are too many and too complicated side stories, and in the end, they were piled on top of each other and nothing was written well, with a good start but a poor finish (specifically mentioning the HOD part).

There are too many characters, but very little description of them. According to feedback from group members, apart from Komini, there are not many memorable characters.

2. There are too many meaningless scenes, and many sentences could be more refined.... In the future, I will compress the words to a certain extent, make the language more refined, and arrange the plot as compactly as possible.

3. The protagonist has no goals, or it should be said that his goals are unclear, and every action is driven by major events.

Because of these three points, the author plans to write more freely in the future. After all, the current text feels very stiff when I read it myself.

Therefore, the writing style may change a little bit, and it is decided to adopt some secondary creation and self-design. There may be some OOC, but the author guarantees that it is not written like this intentionally.

Finally, thank you all for reading this.

Chapter 185 The Third Mission

it's here.

Bai Yu is just one person.

Everything around me seemed to float up lightly as if in a dream.

But his consciousness was sinking like drowning.

'What's going on? Why...'

Here, Bai Yu's mind became clearer.

It was several minutes later that he finally realized what had happened.

Little Angela's plain "Oh wow" seemed to still echo in his ears.

'Wait? I'm not really?!'

Bai Yu waved his hands in disbelief, but in the darkness, only two words appeared in his mind again.

die?

Oh...come to think of it, he didn't feel too much discomfort, after all, he did die once.

But that time, he was killed by Ke Yan, and he didn't feel much.

At that time, everything was just like the TT2 agreement. After waking up from the dream, I returned to the beginning of that day.

But this time it was different, he simply sank into the darkness until he was completely engulfed by the light from the river below.

Yes.

'river.'

This name suddenly appeared in Bai Yu's mind. He was not unfamiliar with it. On the contrary, he was just surprised that he had already crossed this river once when he was heading to the foundation, but why didn't he think of it that time...

After all, in Carmen's theory, there is a very large river underground in the city. That place is the gathering place of the subconscious of all urban residents. Therefore, it can also be regarded as the collective consciousness of mankind.

"And will the souls of the dead eventually rest in this river?"

The falling did not stop, Bai Yu just thought so.

But when he was about to step onto the river, this place did not accept him.

Maybe it's because he's not completely dead, or maybe it's because of something else...

In short, in the end, he was just standing on the bank of the river.

"Alright alright."

Bai Yu, confused about the situation, looked around. For some reason, he didn't feel nervous as if he was in an unknown area.

No, on the contrary, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart - as if he had been here many times.

His eyes swept over the river water here. It seemed that the glowing liquid was Cogito, the substance that the Brain Body Corporation was constantly extracting from the "well".

Oh...well.

The well is just a way of communicating with the river.

Bai Yu quickly understood this.

Because he saw the tributaries of these rivers, and these small tributaries were connected to the wells, and each well was a person's subconscious mind.

Following his intuition, Bai Yu walked casually along the river, walked towards one of the tributaries, and headed towards a well.

Along the way, his gaze even crossed the river and saw countless other worlds on the other side.

have nothing to say.

Bai Yu shook his head. He couldn't help but be interested in these silhouettes of the unknown world.

Most of them are pretty bad, just think of the magical girls locked up in Lobotomy Corporation.

He just slowly turned his head and looked at the well in front of him.

Compared to the river and the scenery on the other side, the scenery here is probably not that good.

This is just a pool of stagnant water...

Perhaps only when the bucket is thrown in will there be some ripples.

Bai Yu stared at the well. The water seemed to be filled with endless emptiness, and there were countless things that shouldn't exist.

He shouldn't have continued watching, after all, everything in it meant nothing to him, but he still wanted to know what was reflected in the water.

Is that his shadow?

Bai Yu didn't know.

Because even if there are no waves on the water, the scenery is still changing.

That was him in a white coat, that was him in holy armor, that was him wearing another black EGO... The emptiness in the well gradually dissipated at this moment, and the endless world and stories inside emerged - these were worlds that only he was familiar with.

And at the bottom of the well, something like a dead branch took root.

That's not Carmen's nerve...

A feeling of suffocation suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart.

For the first time, Bai Yu realized that there was a big piece missing in his heart.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized who the well belonged to.
