It's different from the life that the average protagonist is used to experiencing after losing consciousness.。

Even after temporarily losing his autonomy after the Great War, Lu someone's consciousness body immediately regained consciousness after sinking into the virtual space of the First Republic.

Through the data changes in the [Logistics] panel, Lao Lu was very sure that he was lucky to survive in the end, and he was not sent away by the terrible disaster, nor did he die from the secondary disasters that followed.

Therefore, at this moment, he is sitting in a café on the "portal vein" street in the "liver lobule" area, looking at the busy street outside the window, and talking with Miss Zhao Manyun opposite.

In order to protect the safety of the leader, NKUD agents led by Beria cordoned off the entire café.

The other seats in the café and the alley across the street were full of "professionals" in black clothes and black hats.

This made Miss Zhao, who was still wearing her usual outfit, a very sharp contrast with the surrounding environment!

… However, before Lu could open his mouth to complain, it was Zhao Manjun who opened the conversation first.

"I really didn't expect the human body to be so magical!"

"Stop, stop, you're right... We're not filming any popular science programs. ”

Lao Lu took a sip of the mellow coffee in the cup, and then squinted his eyes to look at the other party.

"Comrade Zhao Manyun, have you figured out your current position - if there is no accident, you should have died honorably in the perception of ordinary people, and now it is even very likely that it is just a piece of electrical signal data imagined in my mind."

"So what? Mortals will die. ”

“… Are you so open-minded? ”

"Most of the members of the Self-Help Association are accustomed to being down-to-earth and down-to-earth—as the first [advisor] of the First Republic, I can't see it and it's useless."

Miss Zhao spread out her hands, although there was a little helplessness in her tone, but she didn't see too much loss on her face.

Since she sacrificed herself to stop the aftermath of the divine power from destroying the relay station, Zhao Manjun in the real world has died along with her shattered body.

However, I don't know if some kind of hidden condition is triggered...

Miss Zhao, who was supposed to return to Jiuquan, did not die like this, but instead unlocked the last functional partition that was in an unselectable state before the First Republic.

And finally in the form of a "consultant", he was reborn in the virtual land that only belongs to Lu Fuyan!

Although in such a form of existence, she can no longer have any direct contact with the objective world, but with the identity of [Advisor], Miss Zhao can still provide a lot of assistance to Lu in the operation of the First Republic.

… Of course, this is not the main reason why Lao Lu and the other party sit in the coffee shop and talk.

After all, from a theoretical point of view, even if Miss Zhao is subjectively unwilling to cooperate with the work, Lu can still rely on the power of the state apparatus to forcibly implement his will.

But after all, he and Miss Zhao are lifelong friends...

Compared with the aborigines of the wasteland, Lu Fuyan's pedantic and backward moral framework obviously does not support him to squeeze Miss Zhao's labor like "persecuting" virtual characters such as Beria.

"To be honest, if you really resist this kind of unsafe life after death, I can find a way to help you get over... It's also a friend, and I definitely don't have the ability to help you resurrect you, but I'll try my best to meet other requirements. ”

"No need. Everything has a price, and resurrection from the dead doesn't sound like a good thing — I think it's good that it's like this, and God gave me a chance to see for myself if my sacrifice was worth it. ”

"So... Would you like to be a part-time worker in the future? ”

"I hope that in our new position, we can also work together happily."

Miss Zhao smiled generously, and then stretched out her right hand to someone Lu - just like when she pulled him into the self-help club.

Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, then got up and shook it back.

After a short period of contact, it was me who was the "boss", and I was a little embarrassed...

In embarrassment, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Beria, the spy chief.

But he didn't want to, the dedicated head of the NKUD Internal Affairs Department immediately stood up and saluted and paid the highest respect to Lu Fuyan!

"Long live the Leader!"

"Take a break, take a break..."

The embarrassed Lao Lu was caught off guard by this wave of operations to fight poison with poison.

Fortunately, this short episode somewhat had the effect of enlivening the atmosphere, which made Lu finally find a little bit of a feeling of being a leader after sitting back in his place.

He cleared his throat and pulled the conversation back on track.

"In that case, I'd like to take advantage of the coma to learn more about the supernatural powers—since you sneaked up to the Nightingale's Bar, things have been going on and on, and I still have a lot of questions that haven't been answered."

"Hmm... Can't you extract all this directly from my memory? ”

"Yes, yes, but out of politeness, I don't really want to solve it in such a simple and crude way."

"Really? I think it's more efficient. ”

“… There's nothing else going on right now, so it's okay to talk. ”

The explanation given by someone Lu made Miss Zhao smile.

Instead of insisting on her opinion, she leaned back against the back of the wicker chair and made a look ready to answer.

"Feel free to ask~"

"The first question... Why the hell did you pull me on the boat in the first place? Even at the expense of defecting from the Self-Help Society? ”

"I remember answering this question before I died."

"But I think you had reservations at the time."

"Well, it's not a big deal.

I wasn't lying at the time—23 years later, the General Command did change its usual way of dealing with the 'Divine Favorite', and that it was because of your ability to interfere with the consciousness of others at a low level, and even absorb divine power without compromising you.

However, in addition to these righteous reasons, I also have personal reasons to rely on your help. ”

"Isn't it because you're fed up with the risk of losing control and expect me to help you get rid of the extraordinary power in your body, right?"

"How is it possible~"

Miss Zhao waved her hand

"I didn't tell you before that although the transcendents of the 'Heroic Spirit' path can use the power of other paths through divine power, this convenience is not without a price.

The erosion of multiple divine powers is too much of a burden on living beings, so before we officially become Heroic Spirits, we must 'die' in advance to contain the power of 'Legendary Crystals' in the body of the deceased.

Therefore, if you really drain the divine power in your body, I'm afraid I'll already be cold—what I really want you to help with is another thing. ”

"Another thing?"

Lu Fuyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"One of my relatives has become an indispensable key member of the Self-Help Society because of her special supernatural abilities, and although she herself is happy about it, I still hope that you can take this ability away from her if possible."

“...”

"Oh, yes! Let's not talk about these troubles that can't be solved in a short period of time. When you wake up, I have something else that I have to trouble you to deal with as soon as possible. ”

"Let's talk about it first, let's focus on stability in the future, and don't play with our lives easily."

"Don't worry, it's not that dangerous - it's about those 'legendary crystals' in me."
