Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

But even so, Angela's golden pupils, whose body was shaking, were still filled with the red data stream generated when connecting to the AI database, and there was no sign of HOD.

In the remaining image, she just stared at the man's figure with her senses that were slowed down a hundred times.

During this thousands of years of waiting, she thought of him every moment...

And watching him gradually leave from HOD's sight, she would feel an unbearable depression in her database.

Yes...depressing.

Angela recalled that time....Ain's stage had not yet opened.

She stayed alone in the dark supervisor's office, listening to the painful curses of employees and Sephirah countless times, and accepting the arrangements to restart the script countless times...

The screens in front of her went dark one by one.

Until the entire supervisor's office was plunged into complete darkness and silence.

Angela had suffered from this in the past and had wanted to find someone to tell her pain countless times.

But it didn't work.

No matter how she struggles, everyone who listens to her will have the script restarted, forget everything about her, and start over.

"There's no point in developing relationships with employees or Sephirah..."

After hundreds of thousands of years, darkness finally swallowed Angela.

She gave up.

She just stood alone in the darkness, watching the repetitive scripts on the glamorous stage...

Machines should work like machines.

Angela pretended to accept it all, and after a long time, she finally got used to being cold-blooded and ruthless, and she finally became the mechanical mastermind that Ain wanted!

Everything was as it should be, until it all ended as scripted.

But why...she finally saw the light ahead of time?!

The depression in Angela's heart finally became heavier and heavier, so heavy that it almost crushed her!

She couldn't describe in words how she felt when she first heard Bai Yu talk about 'reincarnation'.

She only knew that at that moment, she finally had a companion... the only companion who did not exist in Ain's script, would not be restarted, but knew clearly all her pain.

It was he who broke down the damn walls around her, and the sunlight on the surface finally shone into this hell of unknown depth, illuminating her and letting her know that she was not unknown as she huddled in the darkness.

Someone is watching her...

"Bai Yu, you promised me..."

Angela in reality murmured.

She had seen hope and light, and could no longer return to the darkness where she was alone.

She suddenly wanted to appear in the W-0001 branch and reach out to hold him.

And this time, she will never let go!

The absolute fear of hearing that Bai Yu had fainted from overwork was constantly shrouded in her database through her thousand-year-old senses.

It was not until that moment that she realized that she must not lose Bai Yu.

'No risks can be taken...'

"Even if it doesn't speed up the end of the cycle, it's okay to stay with him in Lobotomy Corporation..."

'As long as he hasn't forgotten me and is by my side, that's all that matters...'

"You are my only companion, right, Bai Yu, so you must stay by my side~"

Unconsciously, Angela's face was filled with that perfect smile again.

But this time, HOD could feel that Angela was sincere.

She was truly happy, as if in this endless cycle of reincarnation, a beautiful flower had finally grown from the dark soil of her heart...

But the color of the flower...

"Angela."

HOD only felt the heaviness surrounding him, which grew stronger over the past few seconds.

"If you need it, not only our employees, but our training department can also provide you with psychological treatment programs..."

This time her words finally provoked some reaction.

The afterimage of Bai Yu in Angela's golden pupils completely disappeared, and only then did she have time to think about other things.

"No, Ms. HOD, I'm fine."

The beautiful AI stepped briskly on her high heels twice, just like her mood at the moment. She was like an elf in the deep forest, slowly backing away until she was bathed in the warm orange light of the training department.

"Hmm...I should say I've never felt this good."

"Angela..."

HOD was still hesitant, she still couldn't understand Angela's smile at all.

But Angela no longer cares about any of this.

In this Lobotomy Corporation headquarters, buried in ruins and forever unseen by the light of day, she only left behind the last words of this conversation.

"Let's all have a good rest, everything will start again tomorrow~"

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

Standing under the starry sky, Bai Yu had no idea what was happening in the Lobotomy Corporation.

What appeared before his eyes now were just skeletons scattered on the ground and a treasure bag scattered among them.

Yes...

They just dealt with Skeleton King.

This is not a difficult task for a five-man Terraria team with a Bloody Set.

"Bai Yu, are you okay?"

Aijia ran over from the other side of the wooden platform.

In her vision, the last violently spinning skull definitely hit Bai Yu directly.

This is no joke. After all, every time they were slapped away by those skeleton hands, they felt as if their whole bodies were being crushed into pulp.

"fine...."

Bai Yu denied this. After skillfully using the Shield of Cthulhu, he did not suffer much damage.

The few wounds healed quickly after using the healing potion.

He simply bent down to pick up the treasure bag, and after opening it, only a magic book with a black skull engraved on it fell out.

EGO Weapon: Skull Magic Book (Book)

Level: HE

Equipment requirements: Caution III

Attack attribute: Corrosion

Damage: 29

Cost: 18 mana (spirit)

Attack speed: Average

Attack range: Normal

Special Effect: After chanting this magic book, a skull-headed spiritual entity will be generated. It has a strong tracking intelligence and will actively attack nearby enemies, causing physical burning effects (disappears after two times...)

Introduction: Please do not try to summon it... My master...]

Dungeon Old Man...

Bai Yu looked at the last sentence in the introduction.

He took one last look at the pulverized mass of flesh on the dungeon floor.

Although it may seem cruel, it is the only way to advance in the world of Terraria.

not to mention....

"He should have been freed."

Bai Yu had never thought about the mechanism of NPC resurrection in Terraria.

But according to the game's performance, after breaking the curse, the old man will also join the NPC family as a clothing merchant... This is probably what the guide has always longed for.

"Senior Bai Yu, are we really going down?"

While he was thinking, a soft question finally came from beside him.

The source of the voice is the new member who joined after defeating the Brain of Cthulhu.

She is also considered Bai Yu's junior...

"Of course, Lali, no need to be nervous."

Bai Yu looked at the civilian in the scarlet suit next to him, and in this glance, all the data was clearly visible.

[Name: Lali

Status: Civilian

Level: None

Courage: 1 (Life?: 617/617)

Caution: 1 (Spirit?: 210/120)

Self-discipline: 1 (?)

Justice: 1 (?)

EGO Accessory: 049's 'Surgery' (whole body, effect unknown)

EGO Weapon: Bloody Sword

EGO Equipment: Scarlet Scale Armor]

Chapter 188 Dungeon

This panel is the reason why Bai Yu chose to recruit Lali into the team.

617 HP, 210 SP...

Even if we don't count the life and spirit values that the life crystal and magic crystal increased for her, this is no longer an attribute that a level five employee of the Brain Lobotomy Corporation can possess.

Not to mention, Lali is just a clerk.

Without a doubt, the only possible problem point in the system's display should be the EGO accessory - 049's "Surgery".

Can this thing also become an EGO accessory?

Bai Yu had never heard of it, but he did know that after being kissed by the HE-level abnormality, the ice on the face of the Snow Queen was the EGO accessory it bestowed upon the brave...

In that case, can 049's 'surgery' also be considered a gift from the Abnormality?

Bai Yu didn't know this, and now, he just asked.

"Lali, are you feeling uncomfortable with that medicine bag tied to your body?"

“…”

Lali shook her head and quickly took out the small hanging bag that was close to her chest from the opening of her armor.

This was the protective measure Bai Yu took for her at the suggestion of the nurse and the tree demon, but it only contained a small amount of purification powder soaked in healing potion.

"I don't feel anything, just warm..."

Lali was a little hesitant, but this was really how she felt now.

After all, when Senior Bai Yu carried the judge out of the ward, the first thing he saw was Lali sitting on the bed.

At that time, she had just received her physical examination report from the infirmary, and as expected, Bai Yu checked her physical values to see if there were any abnormalities, or in other words...whether her values had been converted to 049-2.
