Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

[Do you allow it? ]

……

……

[Do you allow it? ]

It's not an illusion.

Such text actually flashed before Bai Yu's eyes incredibly.

And for some reason, the throbbing in his heart gradually subsided at this moment.

"Angela, you..."

At this moment, Bai Yu's gaze passed through the system prompts and looked directly at the pair of pupils as calm as water.

How did she do it?

"Ok?"

Angela(?) smiled.

"Master Director, I'll remember this. This is the best AI in history. Um... maybe the second best."

Yes.

She probably didn't feel the system's presence.

But Bai Yu looked at her face with a slightly raised mouth, as if he was seeing her execute the program perfectly for the first time...

【An abnormal support deployment has been detected... trustworthy. 】

Did he have direct permission himself?

Bai Yu, who had fallen into a state of calm, didn't know...

“Thank you, Director, for your trust!”

But little Angela also let go of him at this moment. She seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief and playfully raised a finger to her lips.

"Um...Also, I'm not Angela, please pay special attention to this~!"

"...Then what should I call you?"

After regaining his freedom, Bai Yu realized that he seemed to have confused Angela with her.

"Please continue to call me Little Angela. As an outstanding individual dedicated to helping the Director, I believe I have the ability to help him out of any predicament."

"Yeah……"

"Yes."

Little Angela came close to Bai Yu. If Bai Yu continued to ask questions, she would have to use special means to stop him.

"..."

Bai Yu had no choice but to move his gaze away from her body, but it seemed that little Angela looked a little disappointed.

why?

Bai Yu didn't quite understand.

He didn't know about little...Angela's situation, but soon he stopped thinking about it.

Now doesn't seem to be the time to care about these things.

During this minute of idle chat, Roland and Angelica remained in the same place in the department, ready to run out, and the most important thing was the World Devourer...

'It's staring right at me.'

For the first time, Bai Yu looked carefully at the huge pupil that emerged from the shadows.

Even if it was stagnant, it still exuded an endless pressure. In this situation, taking a step forward was a very difficult thing.

"Little Angela, we..."

Bai Yu didn't want to waste any more time, so he wanted to ask for a way to leave here.

Can……

At this moment, he saw a flash in the cold place in front of him.

'That is? '

Bai Yu was interrupted, but he didn't feel unhappy at all.

Did it just roll its eyes?

Bai Yu focused his attention on this point and took a deep breath.

"The time of peace is always short-lived... And I'm still not out of danger."

Little by little.

He saw that the remains of the divinity were breaking through the dual laws of anomaly and physics - the stagnant absurd space-time was about to be broken through.

"Time is running out."

Bai Yu spoke.

Death has no reality for him now, but for some reason, he seems to cherish the time he spends with Angela.

"Ah."

Little Angela seemed to notice this. She stood behind Bai Yu with her hands behind her back, smiling and tilting her body.

"So now…we need to get out of here."

Before he finished speaking, the system panel in front of Bai Yu, which had been shut down due to various abnormal reasons, miraculously started up.

And these will be the last two lines of small print.

[Understood, we are processing the abnormal activation.]

【…Reinforcements deployed! 】

……

City time—2-$20:37.

Location: Above the surface of W468 area, Weather: Light rain + magnitude 9 earthquake.

……

Iris cautiously looked out from the small space beneath the broken wooden planks of the ruins.

Just once again.

Her blue eyes still couldn't see anything...

Now, nearly two hours have passed since the indescribable monster rose from the ground, and the power supply in the back alley area of W Nest has been completely cut off.

No one can report the affected area and number of people, but even just imagining it would be an exaggeration.

313

Chapter 313 Communications restored.

"Ugh."

And now, Iris sighed for the umpteenth time.

No reinforcements, no supplies...

Sure enough, she still couldn't see the world in front of her, and she didn't even know whether the resistance that the uncle from the Second Association mentioned really existed.

A strong sense of decline soon came over the young soldier.

The Foundation never fights a battle without preparation, so the current situation is considered too bad from a conventional perspective - she has neither Alpha-9 members around her, nor her master (nanny) Adams or Station Master Bai Yu to help her clean up the mess.

She'd only ever successfully conducted a Type Green containment incident, and now she was jumping straight into single-handedly directing a Divine Incident... (Type Green: reality bender in the Foundation's worldview)

All this put a lot of pressure on her who was pretending to be strong.

"Ms. Iris, Ms. Aika and the others are looking for you."

She remained in seclusion for several minutes, and finally, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind her.

Iris was startled and forced to return to reality from her lost and nervous heart.

"Ah! I'll go right away, Mademoiselle Faust."

She turned around and quickly controlled her emotions, hoping that no one would notice.

But the cold lady in Iris's impression didn't nod, she just stared at her, and kept...

stare~

"Um...what happened?"

Iris, who had just walked past Faust, hugged her camera uncomfortably.

But Faust did not reply to her. She just suddenly grabbed Iris's hand and then gently touched her left shoulder for a long time with her beautiful and glowing fingers.

"Well, that's good."

"Eh……"

Iris didn't understand the meaning of this action.

"It's just that Mephistopheles thinks so too."

Faust answered this time, but...

Riddler.

This reminded Iris of her own webmaster Bai Yu's past evaluation of Faust.

As expected, people in the space department...are hard to understand.

……

"We have to get in touch with the outside world..."

"The problem is how to communicate, even though all signal units are blocked! Facing that damn thing's interference! It's a miracle that W Company's singularity technology didn't exile us directly to another dimension!!"

Ten minutes later, at the meeting...

So I was called here just to do this...

Iris sighed as she sat cross-legged on the scrap cardboard.

It was called a meeting, but in reality there were only four people present: Uncle, Aica, Komini, and Iris. What was even more exaggerated was that only Uncle and Aica were arguing fiercely.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

Amidst the arguments, Iris quietly looked through the dim light coming from the wooden board behind her to see the other people who were 'soundly sleeping' in the house.

Most of them were rescued community miners, because it seemed that just by looking at the huge body, their skin would fall off and they would become neither human nor ghost... Therefore, in order to ensure survival, except for the very few who were not disturbed, they had to remain unconscious.

'Because they are ordinary people.'

In a meeting that could potentially produce meaningless results, Iris began to daydream.

"If ordinary people would mutate upon seeing this body, then I..."

Iris didn't understand what the Foundation had taught her in that small, tin-box-like room.

But she should be clear that whether she is willing to accept it or not, she cannot escape her abnormal state.

'It seemed as if they had been abandoned by the world, completely reduced to the crew of a lone boat on a stormy sea.'

"Only more pressingly, what surrounded them wasn't sharks, but whispers of a Black-Type deity and the terrifying sounds of it devouring everything in its path..."

Iris was thinking inexplicably...

But when she was awakened by the words again, the topic of the meeting was directed to her at some point.

"Iris, what's that on your chest?"

"Feel sorry!!"

Iris didn't understand why, after the corruption wrapped around her, her mind became a little strange.

But when she came to her senses, she saw that everyone was staring at her intently.
