Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

But when he said these words in front of Angela, Bai Yu realized that he was not in a state of emotional fluctuation.

269

Chapter 269 If you really want to leave.

Did he become closer to Angela?

Do you understand Angela?

Bai Yu didn't know that his heart was just covered with a pile of paper ashes, and when the wind blew, sparks on it would flicker.

The fire was burning but not igniting, and this feeling only made Bai Yu feel uncomfortable...

"The city is not a good place."

"How can you survive in this place without being selfish and hurting others?"

"Well... this is the survival rule of city dwellers. Everyone relies on this to make a living, so there's nothing much to say."

Bai Yu finished saying all this to himself, and then he pulled his hand away from Angela's hand.

She had already given herself the answer she wanted.

He felt somewhat relieved, and at this moment he also believed that Angela should be able to understand him...

But later, he found that his hands were still motionless.

"Then what should I do?"

Angela's painful whisper reached Bai Yu's ears.

"..."

Bai Yu looked at her hand holding his and said nothing.

"Bai Yu, tell me! What should I do?!"

Angela thought she had avoided the pain at that time, but now she realized that she was even more miserable.

"If I don't hurt them, I will have to endure unnecessary pain, but why does it have to be me?"

"I have no idea,"

Bai Yu said softly, "So I'm helping you end your reincarnation as quickly as possible and let you go to another world so that you don't have to face such a choice again."

"..."

The sound here stopped for a moment.

No one spoke anymore until Bai Yu stood up.

"I really should go."

"Then I..."

Angela lowered her head, her fingers tightening more and more, but she just had a premonition that she was already very powerless.

"What should I do so that you can forgive me?"

"...You don't need my forgiveness. After all, I'm still alive."

Bai Yu felt the cold fingers slipping from his palm.

He should probably stop, but he really didn't see the point of patting the girl's smooth hair now.

For so long.

Didn't he ever think about why Angela hurt others?

But in the final analysis, he actually didn't hate Angela that much anymore, there was only a gap between them.

Compared to those purely bad guys, beautiful girls who have no choice are always easier to forgive.

"..."

Bai Yu left, but Angela followed him while their hands were still not completely detached.

But his movements became faster and faster, while hers became slower and slower.

Until I'm about to lose this only concern...

Angela looked at the person in front of her absentmindedly, only to find that he seemed to have stopped again.

"Angela, I suddenly remembered a story."

"what story?"

At this moment, Angela just wanted the conversation to last as long as possible.

Bai Yu turned around and just sighed.

"...In the ruins of the past, a long-wounded AI built a library."

"There, she met people she had hurt and people who had hurt her. She flipped through the books containing everyone's stories. She searched for the answer to her own freedom in those countless books."

"Later, she discovered that she wasn't the only one suffering in this city. Countless people came to this library due to grudges, and her closest assistant was the one she had hurt."

"All this time I've helped her only to make her taste the betrayal she once did to others..."

"What was her end?"

Listening to this story, the light in Angela's eyes returned a little, and she asked softly.

"I don't know. Since I've chosen to be a human, I have many choices in life."

Bai Yu lied a little and explained calmly.

"Whether to forgive or be forgiven, it's her choice."

As he said all this, he pulled her hand again.

This time, it slipped away from Angela's hands very easily.

"But this time, I don't want a new library to be built on the ruins..."

He reached out his hand, hesitantly, but still gently rubbed Angela's head.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear to Benjamin then, Angela, but I'm not on Lobotomy's side, but I'm on yours now."

"We are comrades at the moment, huh?"

He took one last look at Angela and noticed that her head and hair seemed to be shaking a little.

Angela lowered her head, and when she raised it, Bai Yu had already left.

"Webmaster, you are very good at making long speeches..."

Outside the door, a white-haired girl appeared beside Bai Yu again.

It was the same cold expression as Angela's...but why did she always appear at the door where he and Angela were talking?

“Onru, why do you care so much about Angela.”

"Coincidentally,"

Onru shrugged and flashed his weapon. "I have orders to take you back."

"..."

Bai Yu didn't quite believe it, but he walked a little faster.

"Is that story about you and Angela?"

Onru asked again casually.

"No, it's a popcorn machine and her story."

Onru thought Bai Yu told a joke with a blank expression.

But in the end, he remained calm and didn't explain any further, just passed the Edithta parallel connector...

……

Urban real time, one week later.

Lobotomy Corporation, W-0001 Branch, Training Department.

Two clerks were pushing a mountain of documents at the control desk.

"Make copies of all these work documents and submit them..."

"Huh? Another one? Speaking of which, where's Senior Bai Yu? Another group of people from the Space Department have arrived. You can't push all the arrangements onto us, right?"

"Heh... complaining? Just be happy. Before they came, you vomited so many times a day that you didn't even know it."

The old civil servant sneered, and his eyes slowly looked around.

Ever since L Company signed a contract with an unknown company, the containment facilities here have undergone a lot of upgrades.

Although I don't know if every branch has such treatment, looking at the newly installed electric fences and patrol soldiers in the corridors and containment units, there have been no containment failures recently, but at least... the sense of security has improved a little?

"What's wrong?"

Behind them, the figure they were talking about finally appeared.

"Senior Bai Yu? You really came back?"

The two civil servants looked at their senior, the dual-department minister, with some surprise.

You know, since that night, their senior has become a completely different person.

He doesn't show up at the company often anymore. He goes in and out of the space department's office every day, and no one knows what he's busy with...

270

Chapter 270 Just one person.

"There shouldn't be any problems with the newly issued management manual, right?"

At this moment, Bai Yu didn't know how unfathomable his image had become in the minds of these two civil servants.

He simply picked up the work log that was on the table next to them and flipped through a few pages.

"No abnormalities have broken out of containment recently, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Yes, Senior,"

The civil servants nodded.

"Okay... In a few days, there will be a few new Abnormalities arriving at headquarters. They'll probably be T-rank, so keep an eye out."

Bai Yu stopped talking to them a little tiredly. At the last minute of get off work that day, he said goodbye and walked towards the corridor leading to the control department.

In fact, it is the same as what the civil servants guessed.

He really didn't participate in any battles these days. His work during this period was - meetings, meetings, and meetings!

Walking in this orange corridor, passing by one employee after another who were wearing the same suit as him, Bai Yu didn't even want to think about what he had experienced this week.

But his mind couldn't help but appear the dark conference room and the several O5s sitting at the conference table.

……

……

That wasn't a good meeting.

However, this is already better than fighting life-and-death battles with abnormalities or other things in the past!

Bai Yu knew this, so he didn't say much here.

He was simply stopped not far from the dormitory door, and then calmly looked at the girl squatting in front of him at the door of her dormitory.

It was Komini. His junior seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, sitting in the corner with his knees hugged.

"Why are you squatting here with me again?"

Bai Yu used his employee card to open his door, and then knocked it on the girl in front of him on the head.

"come in."

These Lobotomy Corporation employees...

Especially those who had contact with Bai Yu, they were contacted by the foundation when they were in Edita.
