——How can I escape from here——

X barely supported the wall with his hands, stabilized his body, and stood up little by little.

The metal walls are cold, and the light is dim... But if you look up and look around carefully, you can see countless cameras.

The company's cameras seem to cover every corner, maybe even the toilets?

The supervisor will watch the monitoring, so X who left the monitoring room and left his job... Who will be monitoring all this in the monitoring room now?

The cameras don't stop running because the supervisor is off work, nor do they stop monitoring X because she is the supervisor.

There is nowhere to escape, and everyone is watched...every move is watched.

The physical discomfort is very obvious, X feels that he should change his clothes later, both the inner clothes and the outer clothes need to be changed, because...they are all dirty.

It is common sense to change clothes when they are dirty.

Walking in this extremely quiet corridor, the faint smell of blood combined with the cold metal industrial style environment is depressing, making people feel lonely and empty.

So when other paint tones appear on the walls of pure silver and black metal, they stand out like fireflies in the dark.

The main color of the control unit is brownish-yellow, not dazzling, but not drowsy either. The neutral color will make people feel comfortable and relax unconsciously.

On the display screen, X has seen the appearance of the control department, but going to see the control department himself is undoubtedly another look.

She is a supervisor, so she doesn't have to walk through the corridor that may be run over by abnormal bodies at any time like an employee, but walks through the exclusive safe passage for the senior management of the Lobotomy Company.

In the corridor, there were a few civilian staff in black suits cleaning the floor or carrying something. They were undoubtedly very surprised when they saw Supervisor X, but it might be because of the company's discipline, although they were curious Go forward and disturb Supervisor X.

The employees have never seen X's appearance, and they can realize that X is a supervisor, mainly because of the suit that only supervisors will wear.A white coat similar to that of a researcher is draped on the outside, and a black shirt is on the inside.

The company's employees don't wear white clothes, they have uniforms, and the ministers are also dressed in black uniforms... White is conspicuous, white is special, and when white is stained with other colors, it is always Extra obvious.

White clothes are always dirty.

Instead of knocking on the door of the office like an employee, waiting anxiously and cautiously for something, X directly opened the door of the office of the head of the control department.

"Miss Malkuth, can I stay here for a while, just a little while."

X was obviously relieved when she saw that there was only Minister Malkuth in the office. She was really a little afraid to see her secretary now. Compared with Angela, X felt that she would be more comfortable with the Minister of Control.

"Hey, Director, you came much sooner than I expected. Wait a minute, I'll clean up right away! You know...the control department has a lot of work and is very busy, so it's a little messy."

Stacks of documents were placed crookedly on the desk, and Malkuth obviously put them aside before he finished processing them, and some reports were thrown on the sofa to take up space, feeling messy Unbearable.

The head of the control department hurriedly picked up the documents on the floor, and put the report slumped on the sofa back on the desk, barely sorting out a clean place for supervisor X to sit.

"Hey, Angela told me that you seem to be under a little psychological pressure. If you don't mind, please tell me. There will always be some inapplicability on the first day, which is normal."

"By the way, Supervisor, you completed today's task perfectly, I knew you could do it!"

Malkuth, the head of the control department sitting opposite Supervisor X, seemed to be thinking hard about how to praise the Supervisor. To be honest, X didn't think there was anything to praise about today's simple work.

This is like a novice tutorial for the game. The NPCs in the game tell you that no one has completed the up, down, left, and right buttons so far, and after you successfully animate your character, those NPCs are amazed at how powerful you are. .

A bit too perfunctory... But, not annoying.

Malkuth's hard work and praise really made X relax a bit. Just seeing Minister Malkuth's smile made X feel better, but when he thought that this was also the company's AI... It would probably be useless to talk.

Could those things be told to Malkuth, of course not.

X can never say that she is entangled by a strange system, maybe it is the company's system, or it may be something else, but in short, she has seen a lot of things whose "authenticity" is unknown, and in the simulated game, the AI ​​secretary Did a lot of bad things.

And those bad things even made me feel... strange?It's ridiculous and pathological at the same time.

Anxiety, anxiety, this is all X feels, without any joy of becoming a supervisor, and it is difficult to feel proud of joining 'World Wings'.

This is an unfamiliar environment... No matter what corner or crevice it is, it has a strong grotesque color.

As the employee who broke into the meeting room begging to resign said, this company is crazy, nothing is normal, even Malkuth, who looks friendly in front of him, only cares about the company.

Malkuth respected her, probably only because X was the supervisor, and the supervisor was the minister's superior.

But it's only to this extent, who gave the power of the supervisor?It is estimated that as long as there is a slight tendency to resign, the AI ​​​​of these companies will consider changing a supervisor.

[Brave] [Caution] [Self-discipline] [Justice], can these things really work... X doubts, but he can sit here and think carefully, probably because of these things that help her.

The self in the simulator seems to be mentally fragile, and may collapse at any time... But now he is still calm, it is nothing more than having seen those tragic endings, and he does not want to be the next supervisor X who is 'knocked out'.

"Malkuth, if I say like the employees that I want to resign, will I be disposed of too. At that time, will I point the gun to my head and bang it?"

X said calmly, and then picked up a report card under the sofa cushion. Inside were the numbers of several employees who 'applied to resign', and the big red cross was hanging there.

"Hmm...? Why did you say that suddenly? I understand. Are you still thinking about those things in the morning..."

Malkuth looked troubled, as if he was trying to make sure that X was serious, but even though it was obvious that X was serious, Malkuth still gave X an encouraging smile and comforted him.

Supervisors are different from employees. Today is the first day X takes office, and it is normal for him not to adapt to the environment. Malkuth can understand the uneasiness of this kind of sadness.

"Such things happen from time to time, and you shouldn't be bothered by such things. There are a lot of tasks to be dealt with every day, and it would be too much to waste your time on these bits and pieces."

"You are the supervisor, you are different from them. Didn't you do a good job this morning, and you have done all the work I asked you to do today. You have this ability, and I know I can count on you .”

"But it's quite a coincidence to encounter such a situation. After all, usually I or Angela will deal with this kind of... situation. Well, be happy, Director, if you are depressed, you can confide in your heart, don't be too silent , it will feel better to say it."

Malkuth tried to liven up the atmosphere, probably no one would really dislike a lively, lovely and energetic minister, even if behind that gentleness was the indifference to the employees.

Employees are employees, supervisors are supervisors, positions are different, classes are different, at least Malkuth's concern for X is true, and it is impossible for X to accuse the company of some cruel rules.

She's at the top herself, the one giving the orders in front of the screen.

X paused for a few seconds in silence, but decided not to mention his own affairs any more.The source of her anxiety is not the death of an employee, but the result of those simulator options.

If she didn't know anything, she probably wouldn't panic.It was because she knew information that she should not have known that she felt anxious, but she couldn't escape, and she couldn't cover her head like an ostrich, because if she didn't know anything, it would be truly terrifying.

What will happen to the employees who are dragged away?The current supervisor X can realize that encounter.

Probably, the employees who resigned were used to feed the monsters locked in the containment unit, to squeeze out the last value.Simply executing them is a waste of resources.

"Malkuth, how do you feel today?"

X looked at Minister Sunshine who was sitting across from him. As a supervisor, he probably needed to understand the department minister and get into such a similar state as soon as possible.

"How's your day? Everything is good! Very good! We successfully completed today's emergency training program today, no casualties, everyone did a great job! Of course, this is not enough, with you as excellent Director, I believe we will do better!"

Every word of Malkuth is very heartwarming, at least X has been healed.When a minister praises himself every word he says, it really feels like happiness.

Obviously... I am just a new rookie supervisor...

If only I could see Malkuth's smile every day, X thought as she leaned back on the couch, it was probably the only thing that would make her feel better.There are considerate and gentle ministers, but no cold and scary intelligent AI secretary.

——I really want to stay here a little longer——

Even if it was sleeping in Minister Malkuth's office, X would have liked it.

But when X wanted to get tired of Malkuth and closed her eyes for a while on the soft and comfortable sofa, she heard the sound she didn't want to hear at the moment.

【Director, are you feeling better?It seems that the situation is good, but Malkuth is very busy, have you seen her difficulties, it is best not to disturb her work any more]

Secretary AI, who claims to be loyal and reliable, came to Director X and ruthlessly deprived X of the right to stay here.

X reluctantly got up from the sofa, already a little sleepy, she was very tired.

"It's okay, Angela, the supervisor probably just wants to take a break with me, and it won't actually affect my work."

And Malkuth also wants to keep it, but the intelligent AI is her real boss.

[Malkuth, have you forgotten the meeting to be held this afternoon? The new plan you submitted to me has not yet been confirmed. 】

"Hey, what, and this! Oops, I forgot!! Angela, I'll get ready right away."

Malkuth frantically flipped through the notepad he carried with him, and frantically flipped through the messy pile of documents on the desk, as if he was looking for something, but because of his bad habits, he was very disorganized.

With just one word from the intelligent AI, the head of the control department started to get busy with his own affairs, and X himself had no reason to stay here.

No matter how reluctant he was, X had to follow his secretary and leave obediently instead of disturbing the minister.

【Director, do you like Malkuth very much?Want to spend the night in her office just for the first day? 】

On the way, the blue-haired secretary suddenly looked back at X and asked such a question.As soon as this problem came out, X felt his scalp tingling and something was wrong. At this time, he should have been able to speculate a little bit, but the logo of Lobotomy Company is black and white and has not yet been lit up.

——How should I answer this? ——

X doesn't understand women's thoughts very well, and her EQ is not very high, but her strong desire to survive makes her feel that she can't choose Malkuth, the head of the control department at this time.

From X's point of view, intelligent AI is scary, scarier than those monsters in the containment unit.

"No, shouldn't it be a minister who cares about himself as a supervisor? Minister Malkuth is a very good person. But Angela is my most trustworthy and most reliable AI, right?"

"Angela, I'm hungry, can you prepare dinner for me?"

As if to increase the credibility of his words, X rubbed his stomach, expressing that he was still pitifully hungry.

This behavior of showing weakness probably satisfies a certain desire of the intelligent AI. At least the intelligent AI seems to be in a much better mood. She probably likes the feeling of being relied on by the supervisor.

[Of course, I will prepare a healthy and hearty dinner for you to reward you for your hard work today]

After hearing this sentence, X secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that he had slipped through the test and escaped a catastrophe.

As for being rubbed by the secretary, let's just pretend it didn't happen. After all, it doesn't matter if you just rub your stomach.

……

……

1. Would you like a dose of enkephalin? : Chapter 7 7. The supervisor also wants to escape from the company

Human emotions are dominated by the brain, and the cerebral cortex produces some chemical transmitters that make people produce emotions.

Dopamine makes people feel happy, and the amount of dopamine secreted when eating is much more than other times, so enjoying food is a happy and happy thing, and it can usually relieve anxiety well.

Lobotomy, which has a lot of research on the structure of the human brain and also focuses on emotional technology, is particularly good at this aspect.It may even surprise people why machines can have complex emotions comparable to humans, or can enjoy human food.

Although this does not include Angela... because artificial intelligence has no sense of taste and does not need to eat.

【Director, what's the matter, isn't it to your liking? 】

The artificial intelligence holds a steel table knife and cuts the meat on the plate. The medium-rare steak oozes light red blood as the knife cuts, and the soft meat is cut into pieces.

The steel fork picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Director X's mouth.

"Angela..."

"Forget it... I... I just prefer cooked food."

X organized his words, considered his words, and finally, because he was afraid of his secretary, he compromised and accepted the pink piece of meat on the steel fork.

Teeth bite the meat, the meat is soft and has a certain degree of elasticity, the tip of the tongue touches the pure wild taste, a faint fishy sweetness pervades the lips and teeth, and after swallowing, there are still blood stains at the corners of the mouth.

[Fresh meat, this is the company's most popular fat steak, the fat is evenly distributed, and this processing method can perfectly reflect the excellent quality of the meat]

Cut a fresh lemon, squeeze out some lemon juice and pour it on the beef, then sprinkle a little ground pepper and sea salt, coarse sea salt mixed with distinct peppercorns.

【Try again, Director, you will like this feeling】

The simply seasoned beef was delivered to X's mouth, and X continued to bite the meat with difficulty, tearing the thick fiber of the beef, which was a test for the masseter muscles and a test for the human sense of taste.

Humans are not beasts, and generally speaking, they don't eat raw meat. To tearing the flesh that is still oozing with light pink, feeling the fishy sweetness of the juice... how oppressive the reason is.

Holding a table knife, the silver plate is a piece of meat filled with blood. He is wearing a suit and leather shoes, and is tied with an elegant napkin.

Representing civilization and rationality, the intelligent AI crystallized by human wisdom cuts pieces of meat, while the person sitting at the dining table endures this torture for her.

The napkin was stained red, just like the blood stains on the corner of the mouth after swallowing the meat.

The desire to eat under hunger overcame the rational resistance to savage raw meat, biting and chewing the soft and tough meat full of blood.

With his hands tied to the chair by red laces, he can only rely on his secretary, and only on his secretary...

"Angela, can you untie it?"

X swallowed the last bite of the cut meat, the sweet taste still lingered between his lips and teeth, it was the fishy sweetness of rust and the unique taste of meat.

[Director, are you full?Those are delicious. 】

The intelligent AI brushed aside some of the black hair that partially covered Supervisor X's eyes, forcing Supervisor X's golden pupils to stare at her, never shifting his line of sight at all.

"Of course, I'm full, Angela...Thank you for preparing dinner for me, it's hard work."

Not daring to show any complaints, X nodded with difficulty as if someone was pinning his head or poking his throat, and the words he uttered were turning like an unoiled door hinge.

【I'm also very happy to provide you with satisfactory service. Although I can't feel the feeling of eating, your appearance makes me feel very hungry...】

The intelligent AI wiped off the blood stains from the corner of Supervisor X's mouth, and cleaned up the food residue on the table very carefully. After doing all this, he untied the binding rope on Supervisor X's wrist.

Such a skillful technique... It's not like doing it for the first time.
