Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

Hearing this, Chloe smiled bitterly and apologized: "I'm sorry... I like the atmosphere of the firm very much, and I sincerely thought that this would be my place... But no matter how bad they are, they are still my family members who are sincere... I really can't convince myself..."

"I understand, you don't have to apologize, it's just an ordinary resignation." Night Crow put Lucia on his lap and gently wrapped his hands around her.

The small black cat was almost completely covered by the wide sleeves, with only a head exposed.

"... Thank you." Chloe smiled with mixed feelings, leaned down and stretched out his hand, gently stroking Lucia's furry head.

Lucia pressed her ears uncomfortably, and her body subconsciously leaned back slightly.

Chloe stopped when he saw that it was going well, and slightly tilted his head to look at the gorgeous sunset in the distance.

After another moment of silence, Lucia tried to keep her tone from sounding sad, and asked casually, "What are your plans after that?"

"Plans..." Chloe thought about it, threw away the serious, positive words that she had prepared in advance, and said frankly, "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet... I should go to Sevilla to ask for shelter first, and then... well, accept her invitation and develop in the entertainment industry together?"

I never thought I would hear such a... "down-to-earth" and "lifelike" answer. Lucia blinked, and the sadness in her heart suddenly faded.

"We will still be friends, right?" Black Cat asked as if to confirm.

Chloe was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief and said, "Of course!"

On the side, Night Crow, who was watching silently, saw this and curled his mouth happily.

Lucia lay on Night Crow's shoulder, quietly watching the mechanical girl version of Kampers set up the recruitment post on the projection screen in the air in front of him, and then posted it.

Until the post was successfully posted, Lucia couldn't help asking: "Is this really okay? No one has responded to the last post for recruiting chefs so far, right?"

"This..." Night Crow, who was half floating and half lying on the back of the sofa and always left these chores to capable dependents, blinked, stretched out his hand and gently patted the top of the orange-haired girl's head, "Is there really no one applying?"

The petite orange-haired girl sitting on the sofa turned her head, her expression somewhat helpless: "If believers are not counted... there is indeed no one."

"That means there is no one." Night Crow nodded, and then asked in confusion, "Why? Is the salary you offer not enough?"

"Of course not! The salary level I offer is already the top in the industry!" Kampers flatly denied.

"Then...?"

Campers hesitated, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, go ahead!" Night Crow urged, his curiosity aroused.

"I think... In the dark web, there are only a small number of people who are willing to do 'ordinary' work full-time... But the reputation of 'rumored to have a firm' is a little... well, 'exaggerated'." Campers said hesitantly.

"How 'exaggerated'?" Lucia asked curiously, and then the black cat seemed to remember something and frowned in confusion, "Speaking of which... the firm really hasn't had much business these days... Obviously, there were always some 'rich people' who gave money and commissions in various names for no reason..."

"Uh..." Campers looked embarrassed.

"Go ahead! There's nothing to worry about." Night Crow urged again, extremely curious.

"That's right!" Lucia also urged.

Seeing this, Kampers had to organize his words and said in the most euphemistic way possible: "It's like this. There are rumors outside that once you step into the 'rumored office', you will slowly transform into a 'non-human'..."

"Nonsense! It's just that we have more non-human employees!" Night Crow said angrily.

"That's right! When Miles, Donahue, Valya, and Chloe left, they were still pure humans!" Lucia also said angrily.

(Miles: Early Seventh Team's special agent, driver, and handyman stationed in the office. He was transferred back by Seventh Team during Lenari's sleep.

Donahue: Early errand runner, later "Ms. Pain" Nicole handled the resignation procedures on his behalf.

Valya: Early front desk receptionist and vase, later grew up in the "Gray Doomsday" space and took the initiative to handle the resignation procedures.)

"It's really nonsense." Kampers responded, and then said helplessly, "ButRumors are something that gets more and more outrageous and difficult to control...”

“Uh...” Lucia couldn’t help but stretch out her front paw to scratch her head, and said in a daze, “What should we do? Will our firm be unable to recruit employees and attract business in the future?”

“That’s definitely not the case!” Night Crow said firmly, “After all, rumors are only spread in a small range in the inner world, and most people don’t know about it.”

“And don’t forget that Green Star will cross again at the beginning of next year. By then, there will be a big wave of strange stories and new evolutionary routes will emerge... Chaos is inevitable. In that case, our firm is a rare ‘safe zone’.”

“That’s right...” Lucia nodded in agreement, and then said helplessly, “Let’s leave it like this for now, and let it be.”

“Well, let it be. "Ye Ya nodded, but couldn't help wondering where she could get a few good enough female employees...

Nuclear Explosion Lord: Can you train so many trumpets?

Lord of Darkness: This is not an ordinary online game. Do you need to train your trumpets? Isn't it that the power will increase automatically? If you are not careful, you will become a god, right?

Lord of Nuclear Explosion: ...

God of Ice: Your situation is obviously a special case. My first trumpet is still an ordinary person...

Lord of Darkness: Well, isn't that the result of your deliberate suppression?

God of Ice: That's right, but even if you don't suppress it, you will be an ordinary superpower at most. You can't become a god if you are not careful...】
