After being reminded by Xia Wan, Mi Wa realized that before it was time to get off work, the joy on her face was washed away a lot.

Seeing this, Xia Wan smiled helplessly and comforted: "It's okay, it's not too late to do it after you get off work, anyway, I have nothing to do now."

"Then it's settled!"

"What's the deal?"

Someone unexpectedly joined the conversation between the two of them. Hearing the strange voice, Xia Wan turned to look at the owner of the voice in doubt———opened the closed door and leaned on the door frame, also Lateran women watching them.

Rhodes Island Midsummer Night did not know many operators, not only because she had memories of being a player of "Tomorrow's Ark", but also because she worked very diligently until the night she planned to leave Try to get on good terms with all Rhode Island Operators.

And the Lateran woman in front of her now... yes, she also knew it, but it took a few seconds to remember it because her memory was a little long ago.

"Outcast..."

Xia Wan who read the code name of this Lateran woman, her expression became a little strange.

This is not her fault. Outcast is an elite operator in Rhodes Island, and is not a cultivable character in "Tomorrow's Ark".

But the appearance of Outcast, she will appear on the main ship of Rhodes Island, which means that the new main line is about to start.

Yes, Xia Wan can only rely on this side information to infer the progress of the main plot, because since she came to this world, the timeline of this world has deviated from the game "Tomorrow's Ark" in her memory. Events that should have been continuous became fragmented, and events that should have happened one day later were fully two months in advance. She discovered early on that she could not simply use time nodes to correspond to each event or plot.

Just like now, in the game of "Tomorrow's Ark", Outcast, who had already died in Victoria, and even the relics and ashes should have been transported back, appeared in front of Xia Wan intact.

Chapter 15 Guidance

"I, who is about to retire, even remember me." Outcast raised her hand and lowered the brim of her hat, looked at Xia Wan with her pale white eyes, and showed a very interested smile: "This beautiful... Miss Yanguo, if I'm not mistaken, you are Paradise, right?"

"...It's me." Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then put on her usual smile: "I didn't expect you to know me."

"Recently there has been a lot of trouble on the island. It's hard not to know. Moreover, my first job after I transferred to the clerical staff is to complete the remaining paperwork for you——Speaking of this, let's talk about it first." , Doberman's training must have exhausted you."

Outcast made a gesture of invitation, and kindly helped Xia Wan pull away the chair in the office.

Now, even if Xia Wan didn't plan to go in for a sit down, she was embarrassed to refute her face, so she sat on the chair as she said, and looked around the office that she was very familiar with.

The tables and chairs were still arranged in the same way, except that Xia Wan's desk was full of unprocessed documents and some strange small objects.

It was almost dinner time, but in Outcast's eyes, it still barely belonged to the category of afternoon tea. She was skillfully busy in the office, and after a while, she brought three plates of square cakes and asked, "Do you want coffee? Is it black tea? I personally recommend the black tea from Victoria, which goes well with the cakes I baked from the kitchen."

"Victoria...... Well, please give me black tea, where is the beeswax?"

"I want black tea too!"

So, Outcast put steaming black tea on the barely vacant desk next to Xia Wan, as well as evaporated milk and sugar cubes to adjust the taste.

Watching Outcast add a little evaporated milk and a lot of sugar cubes to her own black tea, Xia Wan thought about it, and followed her example and added the same amount to her own black tea, and finally took the first sip It was so sweet that his teeth were about to melt, and he couldn't help sticking out his tongue in embarrassment.

"Haha, I prefer sweets. It seems that this kind of sweetness is not acceptable to everyone."

Having said that, Outcast drank the black tea without changing his expression, and tasted the soft cake, looking very satisfied.

Xia Wan, who really couldn't drink it, put the teacup aside, pushed the cake in front of her to the side of the beeswax calmly, and said with some embarrassment: "Yeah, I'm sorry for wasting such a good black tea. "

"It's okay. It's not a good habit to apologize all the time. Besides, are you feeling a little lighter now?"

"Ok?"

"You seem to be preoccupied, and even your beautiful face has lost its color." Outcast took another sip of black tea, and said with a smile: "From the rumors these days, I can more or less guess your troubles—— When you don't know how to move forward, you might as well slow down, stop and look around, and look at the path you have walked behind, the answer may be in it."

"Look around, look around?"

Xia Wan was thoughtful, but still couldn't figure it out. She lowered her eyes and said softly after a while: "Although that's the case, all I see is a mess, and it's all my own hands..."

"Is that true?" Outcast interrupted her, and retorted: "Then take a look at the beeswax, is there anything messy about this child?"

"Huh? What?"

Beeswa, who couldn't keep up with the conversation between the two, ate her own cake contentedly just now, and was about to move on to the second piece Xia Wan gave her when she heard her own name, and seemed very puzzled.

Xia Wan shifted her gaze to the blinking beeswax, hesitated a little, and said, "She just...has little contact with me, so she can't take it seriously, or maybe she's the kind who doesn't care character."

"Maybe that's the case. Everyone's personality is different, and nothing is absolute." Without denying Xia Wan's statement, Outcast was silent for a few seconds before changing the subject: "Let me tell you a little secret, Paradise, just Like this cup of black tea in my hand, I like to drink it, but you don’t like it——it’s the same with people, they will show their own attitudes, which are not static and the same, but you, if what I heard is correct, you should understand What will they do?"

"I should know..."

Xia Wan murmured and repeated.

Fundraising, I understand the meaning of Outcast.

She really knows them, except for the doctor... even the current doctor may not know the operators of Rhodes Island as well as she does, otherwise how could she win their favor.

Yes, even if the game is not exactly the same as reality, she has succeeded.

"Thanks, Outcast, I think I know what to do."

Although the haze in her heart has not dissipated, at least Xia Wan is no longer hesitating like before. Seeing that the smile on her face was a little brighter, Outcast returned the usual smile.

after that.

Waiting until the end of get off work time, after receiving the careful care of beeswax, Xia Wan's steps on the way back to the dormitory became lighter.

Of course, before she saw someone waiting at the door of her dorm.

The moment she saw that person, Xia Wan froze and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but in her field of vision, that person had already found herself and was walking towards this side.

She had no choice but to put away her thoughts of running away, and pretended to smile nonchalantly: "Doctor, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Of course there is something. You have been hiding from me for a week, and you have accumulated a lot of things."

The doctor was covered by a black hood, Xia Wan couldn't see her expression, but she could hear her displeasure from the voice that was a few degrees higher than usual.

There was no way, Xia Wan could only back up at the same speed as the doctor, while explaining: "Wait, doctor, I didn't avoid you, I just rested when I came back because I was too tired every day."

"Oh? Then you installed a lock on the inside of the door?"

"Well, that's because...because..."

No matter how you explain it, there must be no excuse for this matter alone.

Fortunately, the doctor only pressed forward because he thought Xia Wan's reaction was very fresh. After seeing her speechless for a while, he stopped, sighed heavily, and said, "Forget it, let's stop making trouble. I'm looking for you today." It's indeed a bit of a problem, and it's almost time to solve it after thinking about it...Huh? Is this your daily dinner?"

Perhaps seeing the convenience food bought from the purchasing department in Xia Wan's hand, the doctor's tone sounded a lot worse.

After realizing it, Xia Wan hid the bag behind her back with a swish: "...Because I'm too tired, I don't want to go to the cafeteria. Is it easier?"

Obviously, this kind of trick can't be fooled by the doctor. She was silent for a few seconds, then sighed again: "Okay, let's take it as it is, anyway, come with me, since you don't want to go to the cafeteria, go to my office to eat at the head office."

No.16 Chapter It`sa trap

Xia Wan hasn't been to the doctor's office for a while.

In the past, she often acted as a doctor's assistant, helping Amiya to share the doctor's work when she was temporarily busy. Now, after careful calculation, it has been almost a month since she stepped into this place that was overwhelmed by heavy paperwork and seemed to be out of breath. Room.

Sitting on the sofa for entertaining guests, she twisted her body a little awkwardly, watching the doctor put the food packed from the cafeteria on the coffee table, perhaps considering that there were two people, the amount was a little too much.

"It's all Yan Kingdom's cuisine. Although it's often said by Nian that it's not authentic, I think it's quite delicious."

The doctor sat down opposite Xia Wan, raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing that white face that seemed to have never seen the sun, and even a somewhat sick face, gently shaking the short white hair that had been stuffy all day, a pair of red His eyes were locked on her all the time, and he gradually revealed a strange expression: "Before eating, I have a question."

"Ok?"

"The black cloak you wear every day recently, does it have any special function?"

"You say this, it doesn't have any special effect, what's the matter, doesn't it look weird?"

Xia Wan, who didn't realize why the doctor asked such a question, hurriedly lowered her head to check her clothes. She just wore it out of the idea that she didn't want to be noticed by anyone. So far, the effect is pretty good. Most of the operators I saw didn't pay much attention to her——although that wasn't the case, but at least she thought she didn't receive much attention.

"Although I know you have a hobby of collecting these clothes, when you actually wear them... how should I put it, they look suspicious?... No, it's not, we have quite a few operators who like it Wrap yourself tightly, but someone said this to me before, so it probably feels like this."

This time, it was Xia Wan's turn to show a strange expression. She frowned slightly, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Doctor, although I have a lot of clothes of this type, I don't have a hobby of collecting them." , there may be a little bit of suspicious behavior, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"I didn't deny that I have a lot of these clothes...Forget it, let's eat first."

As he said that, the doctor quickly wiped out the dinner on the tea table at a speed that didn't match her figure. This was a habit developed in Rhodes Island. Oftentimes, the situation was urgent, but there wasn't so much time left for her to eat slowly. pharynx.

Looking at this very familiar scene, Xia Wan also skillfully poured a glass of water for the doctor and put it in her hand as before, and then ate something in small mouthfuls.

Unlike the doctor, Xia Wan's food intake is very small, and he doesn't have high requirements for taste. Although he can't compare with those Sarkaz mercenaries who have lived in hardship for many years, he still feels that he only eats some local food for a week or more. There is nothing wrong with that.

So, the scene quickly turned into Xia Wanban leaning on the sofa, holding a cup of steaming tea, and quietly watching the doctor eat.

Just judging from the time of eating, the doctor is no different from before, why all of a sudden, his personality seems to be a different person?

She looked at the doctor as she pondered the question in her head.

Until the doctor cleaned up the last bowl of rice, picked up the water that was cold enough, and took a big sip of the water that Xia Wan had poured for her just now, and let out a sigh of satisfaction: "Phew, well, I'm full, and I'm full." Time to get down to business, Paradise, today... Paradise?"

Xia Wan came back to her senses: "Um, huh? I'm here, what's wrong?"

"It's really rare for you to be in a daze."

"...just thinking about something, nevermind, what did you just say?"

"I said, Amiya should meet you today, right? I can probably guess what she will tell you, so what do you think?"

"What do I think of Rhodes Island?" Xia Wan looked at the doctor suspiciously. Although she didn't know why she listened to these words that were only valid for Amiya, she repeated honestly: "It's not that I don't agree with Rhodes Island. The ideal of Tokushima, and I would like to be with you..."

"No, that's not what she meant. Didn't she tell you? About what the operators asked her to talk to me about recently."

"It means that they don't know what to do with me?"

"Yes, that's it, what do you think?"

It was as if the brain waves that had been connected for a long time finally matched, the doctor stared at Xia Wan very seriously, but Xia Wan became even more puzzled: "Why is everyone talking about this today, does it really have such a big impact? "

"Everyone is talking? Besides me and Amiya, has anyone mentioned this to you?"

"Out...no, no one else."

Now the doctor doesn't know Outcast, or is not familiar with it, there is no need to mention her at this time, so Xia Wan changed her words: "I'll just say you and Amiya, the problem is so big that you have to find a way to solve it ?"

"Not really, it hasn't caused any special impact yet." The doctor explained: "But if you leave it alone, the problem will only ferment over time, and I don't want to wait until it is really difficult to deal with before starting to think of a solution .”

"That makes sense, so why are you asking me what I think?"

"What you think and what you plan to do is very important. By the way, if you plan to continue hiding in the room like you are doing now, I may take some compulsory measures."

"Coercive measures..."

Xia Wan just imagined how the doctor called the engineer to break in, and couldn't help but trembled, and said quickly: "No, no, don't do such a thing, I just... ..After all, I caused the problem, I plan to solve it by myself, first try to contact those operators who may not be too repulsive to me, take it step by step."

These were all decided when she said goodbye to Outcast today. Of course, she would not be stupid enough to say it honestly.

"Really, that's just right, I think so too." Then, the doctor looked down at the time on the watch: "It should be almost here."

"......Hey?"

Xia Wan, who couldn't keep up with the doctor's train of thought, didn't realize until the door of the office was knocked that the coercive measures the doctor mentioned didn't just refer to the matter of destroying the door of her dormitory.

From here, she has fallen into the dug trap.

"Doctor...? Are you there? I have arrived on time at the appointed time."

A familiar voice came from outside the closed door.

Chapter No.17 Let's confirm it again

In principle, Rhodes Island will not interfere with the private life of the operator.

The private life here refers to the activities, hobbies, behaviors, lifestyles, and interpersonal interactions of the operators outside of working hours.

After all, Rhodes Island is just a company, or in other words, exists in the form of a company, and the operators of Rhodes Island are still paid employees on the surface.

From this perspective, Rhodes Island's management is actually quite loose as long as it does not violate the strictly prohibited rules.

Just like Amiya never asked her to solve this problem, Xia Wan never thought that the doctor would take direct action.

———If the previous doctor would not have done this.

Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be.

The operator who made an appointment with the doctor walked into the office with the same heavy footsteps as before. The mixed breath of sunshine and sea breeze wafted from her. Turning her head, the dark blue, pitch black, and gray-white that she saw at first sight The intertwined impressions, as well as those blood-red eyes, all remind her of her identity.

"...Long time no see, Skadi."
