Yu Jianchu yawned. She hadn't slept for dozens of hours. This job was driving her crazy, but thankfully Eoubs had plenty of coffee, which made everything much better.

Being too awake is nauseating, especially when you see something horrifying.

On the screen in front of her, the largest section was cut to the villa—the location where the consumables were sent. He Yu pushed open the door and came out, covered in blood, but no wounds were visible, presumably from other people.

She thought to herself, "How ironic that such a group of wrong people came to Eoubs chasing after freedom, where there is money, power, and companions who will never abandon you, and then they died in this sea of ​​lies and blood."

The electronic screen focused on He Yu's face. He didn't look desperate at all, as if he had just attended a boring play and was now thinking about what to eat when he got home.

Yu Jianchu couldn't quite describe the feeling. This guy was indeed good-looking and very decisive when it came to killing. If he had to make a comparison, he was like a sharp weapon that was unintentionally forged. It was too sharp and deadly to ignore, and people wanted to destroy it.

She was preparing to compile her observation report and send it to the review department. Those idiots had already urged her five times. Damn it, how can you send a report if you don't come out of the 252 game world? They're a bunch of brain-dead idiots.

Just then, in the synchronized video, He Yu suddenly turned his head and spat in the direction of the monitor.

His unrestrained manner made Yu Jianchu laugh.

"A cheap item is still a cheap item, but it's not bad if it has some personality."

She wouldn't describe He Yu as a consumable. Those things are useless after one use, just like the three corpses of the dragon. Although it was a controllable forbidden object cultivated by the Judgment Department, it was unavoidable that it died without completing its mission.

Anyway, it will be sent to the control room for dissection and dissection when it comes back. That silly girl always thought she could get away unscathed. Everyone knew she was going to die, but she just didn't believe it.

Absolutely amazing, and such a cheap item.

They can be manipulated in countless ways. Yu Jianchu knows these kinds of people too well. They always think they are strong enough, special, as if they can really possess something substantial, and they will do everything in their power to protect it. But it is precisely because of this that Eoubs will take advantage of them.

Yu Jianchu pinched the bridge of her nose. She noticed that the cup was empty, so she called out, "Li Lin, get me a pot of Americano."

She pushed all the tedious documents into the printer, pressed the switch, and continued without looking up, "It'll be tough, just as tough as the life of the founder of Eoubs."

Li Lin, who had been guarding the door, rolled his eyes, but still obeyed and left. He should have gotten used to this kind of unrestrained speech by now. After all, Yu Yu was already so arrogant, how normal could her sister be?

Unlike Yu Jianchu, Li Lin rarely speaks to others; he is extremely taciturn and has a severe drug addiction. He always keeps a week's worth of tranquilizers in his shirt pocket, which he takes out and consumes when he wants to kill someone.

This keeps him alert; the hatred and pain hidden by the drugs are like razor blades, deadly once they erupt.

Moreover, the reason Eoubs was willing to provide such a large quantity of drugs was that they hoped the patients would refrain from any nonsense and simply focus on doing their jobs, since talking wouldn't change anything anyway.

By simply swallowing an overdose of medication, he could work without any emotion, diligently and without complaint, without any ridiculous mental breakdown, and without even thinking about his ex-girlfriend who died in the control room and was thrown into the meat grinder by Eoubs.

At least he won't think about it again after the drug abuse. Yu Jianchu was very skeptical. It was said that this repressed man would risk his life for that girl. But it was a good thing that he hadn't shown it yet. She didn't want to lose a good assistant.

When Li Lin was sent to the adjudication department, he was still an E03. He was originally an E05, but this idiot killed several researchers. The B-level researchers thought it would be a waste not to make use of such a good-for-nothing, especially since his characteristics were quite strong. So they sent Yu Jianchu to take on this hot potato.

Sometimes when she was bored, she would ask Li Lin to draw her blood beforehand to play with it, since he was best at this kind of thing, so it would be good practice. But she was always refused. What a boring man.

Well, Yu Jianchu was just trying to lighten the mood. She knew that he would go to that control room every day to induce vomiting, and after vomiting, he would hide in a corner like a lunatic and call that dead man. He was clearly a very smart person, but that scene made it seem like someone would answer as long as he kept calling.

He never talked to her about these things; he just focused on completing his work.

She wouldn't ask him about these things, because she knew there would be no answer.

"I hope you don't find it too bitter."

Li Lin brought over a pot of something that looked like poison. Without thinking, Yu Jianchu opened the lid, poured himself a cup, and took several big gulps, then sighed with satisfaction.

"That's fucking awesome."

...

She woke up next to the printer as it was getting dark. Luckily, the review department had already finished reviewing the documents and issued the permit for prohibited substances. She didn't want to mess things up because of her own problems. If it had dragged on for a few more hours, that strong-willed crazy woman would have come knocking on her door demanding an explanation.

Yu Jianchu stared blankly for a while, then rinsed his mouth and washed his face—with the help of coffee, of course.

She then went to the deliberation room to meet with those idiots and discuss with them that 378, which was meant to be insurance, had already been slaughtered by He Yu. If the higher-ups wanted to continue to exert pressure, she would choose to withdraw.

This narrative is undoubtedly absurd and laughable. Damn it, you were the one who was yelling about scheming against Yu Yu, and now that things are going wrong, you just run away? Do you think we're idiots?

Yu Jianchu almost said yes on the spot. She did dislike Yu Yu, but this was a family matter. Everyone has a tragic and cruel past, full of sorrow and sacrifice. If it were written down, it would definitely be a masterpiece.

But it has nothing to do with you. Her efforts are worthwhile. As long as you wait patiently, you will reap a bloody but fruitful harvest.

This is how Eoubs interact, isn't it? She couldn't think of a more fitting description. Everyone here seemed busy, cold and pragmatic, doing everything to use the deaths of expendable beings to piece together their shattered lives and hope that those idiots would die without regrets.

Now that the annoying meeting was temporarily over, Yu Jianchu poured herself another cup of coffee, preparing to find some horrific experimental videos to watch. Working here was so boring that this was the only way she could pass the time.

18:05.

Someone called, and Yu Jianchu glanced at the screen, her expression as interesting as if she had seen the Eoubs base explode.

"You actually contacted me?"
