Ark girl won't like me

"Eh~"

With a frustrated elongated voice, Ifrit puffed out her face in depression, a little unhappy, but she still answered the white-faced owl's question.

"Hemo isn't here. She seems to have gone to report something. Damn it, this place is so annoying. I really want to burn them down!"

As he spoke, Ifrit couldn't help but complain.

What the hell, the white-faced owl isn't here to play with her, she's so annoying.

The white-faced owl didn't speak, but someone else did.

Walking out from behind the door, Chen Yu knocked on the door angrily and taught the arrogant Ifrit a lesson.

"Ifrit, I don't remember when I taught you to say such things. Why, do you want to go to the roof again?"

"what?!"

Ifrit let out a surprised sound and looked at the masked man who suddenly appeared in confusion, with a look of displeasure on his face.

Who is this guy, so arrogant?

Although it was strange that the other party seemed to know her, Ifrit did not recognize Chen Yu immediately because he was wearing a mask and his appearance changed so much.

She just felt that the other party looked pleasing to the eye, but this did not stop Ifrit from being angry. She curled her lips and looked unhappy.

"Hey, who are you? What does my business have to do with you? Believe it or not, I will roast you on fire... Hey, big fat man, what are you doing?"

Before he finished speaking, the guy who always didn't know where he was hiding suddenly came out, stood next to Ifrit, and looked at Chen Yu with strange eyes.

After looking at it for a few times, the woman suddenly said: "You brat, take off that man's mask."

Although the more he looked, the more familiar Chen Yu looked, Ifrit frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of where she had seen this white-haired man.

Shaking her head, Ifrit didn't think about it anymore, and then she decisively rejected the other party's request.

"Big fat man, what are you talking about? Why do I do this?"

fat man?

The white-faced owl tilted its head and glanced around the room, but did not see the fourth person besides them.

Did Ifrit hallucinate again?

Unlike the white-faced owl, Chen Yu knew exactly who the fat man Ifrit was talking about.

It was just the cold female voice that made Chen Yu a little confused.

What happened? When did the sound of that big balloon become like this?

Although he was surprised that the other party's voice sounded different, Chen Yu didn't think much about it and squeezed away the white-faced owl standing at the door.

"Bai Gugu, give way."

After squeezing the white-faced owl away, Chen Yu walked into the room and came to Ifrit based on his feeling.

He scolded him angrily.

"Idiot kid, I haven't seen you for several years. Why are you still acting like this? Didn't you tell me to be better? Why are you still so irritable? Do you think the clothes rack on the roof is not big enough?"

This tone.

The woman was silent and just stared at Chen Yu.

Unlike the woman, Ifrit, who felt provoked, did not recognize Chen Yu. In other words, because of her anger, her already stupid IQ became even lower.

"Aha?!"

Rolling up her sleeves angrily, Ifrit was ready to make a move.

"You are very arrogant. I think you don't know how powerful I am... Ouch!"

"Uncle, your sister!"

A knife was used to punish Ifrit, who was about to speak out loud, causing her to cover her head and scream in pain. Chen Yu then retracted his hand and took off his mask calmly.

Although it's a bit regretful that Hemer is not here, it also allows me to take off the mask.

Smiling at Ifrit who was dumbfounded when he saw his face, Chen Yu stretched out his hand again, placed the rather large white mask on her face, and then gently rubbed her hair.

With a gentle smile, he said: "Ifrit, long time no see."

"..."

After staring at Chen Yu blankly for a while, Ifrit bit her lip, tears suddenly welling up. After a few seconds, she suddenly rushed forward, threw herself into Chen Yu's arms, and burst into tears.

"Chen Yu, I miss you so much!"

"Me too, Ifrit, I miss you too."

After saying this with a smile, Chen Yu silently hugged Ifrit. At the door, the white-faced owl looked at this scene, his golden eyes flashed, and he easily closed the door and exited the room.

She suddenly took over Chen Yu's affairs this morning, and now she still has some problems to deal with.

In the next period of time, let's teach it to Chen Yu and Ifrit.

……

160 - Conflict and Commitment

the other side.

Ceria and the others brought the group of strange Sakota people from Rutland to the research center on the eighteenth floor.

Through the translucent glass, you can see many strange and sophisticated scientific research equipment. Many researchers are busy inside, and a few researchers just came out.

"Seria, good morning~"

As she greeted Ceria with a smile, Mulseth couldn't help but glance at the group of Sarkota behind her who had cold expressions, and felt a little strange.

Are these people the collaborators from Lateran mentioned above?

It’s not that it’s a research company, so why doesn’t it look like it?

"Good morning, Mulseth."

With a slightly softened expression, Ceria nodded to the Liboli girl who greeted her.

Mulseth is a rather unusual guy in Rhine's life. Of course, this does not mean that she is annoying or anything else, but that this guy's temperament is different from that of ordinary researchers. He is a bit too lively and cute. .

Although it sometimes brings some troubles to people, because of this, Mulseth's popularity is very good in Rhine's life, and even Ifrit likes her very much.

Of course, Ceria also knew her and had a good relationship with her.

Not only that, although he is somewhat popular, Muerseth's scientific research level is not weak at all, and he is a backbone scientific researcher of Rheinland Life.

After greeting Ceria with a smile, Mulseth hugged the research materials and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she keenly noticed that the Sakota people seemed to be doing something strange, but when she turned back, she found nothing.

"Illusion?"

Scratching her head, Melanza squinted her bright eyes and stared suspiciously at Sakota who left with Ceria for a while. It wasn't until they turned the corner and left her sight that she shook her head and muttered.

"It must be an illusion."

Rooftop of Rheinland Life Building.

Phoenix looked at the device that suddenly lit up and knew the time was up.

She raised her head and reminded the Mostima who had his back turned to her: "Mostima, you can go."

"...yes."

Looking back at Phoenix, Mostima jumped up and disappeared on the roof of the building.

......

After passing through several laboratories, under the leadership of Seria, a group of people arrived at their destination - Originium Life Research.

This is an experimental group specifically responsible for studying Originium organisms, but as far as Seria knows, this group seems to have other research, but even Seria doesn't know the specifics of that research.

Her authority at Rhine Life is very high, but even so, her authority for this research is still insufficient.

In addition to those who specialize in research, perhaps the only people in Columbia's Rheinland Life Company who have the authority to know the specifics of the research are White-faced Owl and Chen Yu, who left that year.

White-faced Owl is the information administrator of Rhine Life, with higher authority than Ceria, and Chen Yu - the Balrog Team was separated from this experimental group, and as the only researcher of the Balrog Project, it is natural for him to know .

Because it was related to Ifrit, Ceria had asked Chen Yu several times.

It’s just that that bastard was very tight-lipped about this matter. Even though Ceria asked many times in private, she still didn’t get any information.

That soul is weak.

Thinking of the guy who always talked about him and ran away every time he asked questions, Ceria couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Although she didn't know the specific contents of this research group, Ceria knew one thing, that is, Ifrit's experience seemed to be inextricably linked to this research group.

——That fire happened here.

Because of this, Ifrit was called a monster, making her a disgusting existence.

Therefore, Seria did not have a good impression of this experimental group at all.

"Everyone, our goal has been reached."

Standing in front of the door of the research room, Ceria stopped and pointed to the laboratory in front of her.

Although she dislikes this experimental group called 'Origin Stone Life Research', Ceria is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs and does not bring personal emotions into her work.

Controlling the emotion of kicking the door in and taking a look, Ceria turned around and said in a cold tone to the strange group of Sakota behind her.

"This is the research group that Rheinland Life expects to cooperate with you, so there will be specialized personnel to discuss the next cooperation matters with you, so I'll excuse you."

After saying this in a cold tone, Ceria stepped aside and looked at the group of Sakota people quietly.

Her work is done, and the rest of the work is no longer her responsibility.

But what surprised her was that this group of researchers who were nominally seeking cooperation did not show excited expressions after hearing her words. On the contrary, they looked very strange.

Is that... fanaticism?

Squinting her long and charming eyes, Ceria thought for a few seconds and finally thought of a word to describe it.

fanaticism?

What's going on with this Sakota gang?
