Congratulations on being an NPC

Chapter 87 Start Connecting

"never mind."

Manu shook his head, burying all the sadness in his heart.

Looking at Aina who was hiding behind a pile of data on the screen and away from him, Manu scratched his head.

"What you said about Alicia, I also know that it would be better to do that."

"But after all, His Majesty only appointed me and Jacobin to be responsible, so it's not good for Alicia to take full responsibility."

"What's more, in this situation, if Alicia is called here, it will not be easy to get along with Jacobin."

Facing two lovely subordinates, Manu is in a dilemma.

[No need to worry. 】

【Although His Majesty entrusted you with the responsibility, he did not say that you cannot have an assistant to represent you. 】

[As for the deputy minister, it is true that when the name of Researcher Alicia was mentioned, his spirit fluctuated greatly. 】

[Compared to the progress of the research, I think Deputy Minister Jacobin's thoughts are not important at all. 】

[The science and technology department is for the development of science and technology. Once the principle of the ability held by the young man can be analyzed through the knowledge of magic, and after it is technologicalized, the technology of the empire will go one step further and reach the top of the world. 】

【Minister Manu, now is not the time to be emotional. 】

Aina's voice was still very cold.

It was also because of her indifference that she was able to rationally analyze the method of maximizing benefits.

Alicia is indispensable.

"Although that's what I said..."

Manu was still hesitant.

[Minister, no one will question the deputy minister's enthusiasm and ability for research. 】

[Only in this matter, the deputy minister is useless. 】

[If we continue to act emotionally like this, we will make no progress on this matter. 】

[What's more, the deputy minister's current state of mind still has the possibility of damaging the research object. 】

As an intelligent AI, Aina never thinks so much when speaking.

She just said the best solution.

"Of course I understand what you said."

"Just...let's observe again."

"Let's see what happened to Jacobin this time."

Manu sighed and said nothing more.

He manipulated the fluorescent board a few times with his fingers, shrinking all the complicated data on it and hiding it in the background.

Instead, it was the image in the boy's room.

-

Jacobin rested his arms on the table, staring wildly at the boy in front of him.

His heart was pounding, and it was with great difficulty that he stabilized his emotions to a relatively calm level.

Too much fanaticism is not good for research.

"..."

No matter how you look at it, the boy looks like an ordinary human being. According to the sampling of various parts of his body by the instrument, nothing special was found.

But he is special.

That kind of ability cannot be checked with existing scientific technology.

Therefore, it is necessary for the science and technology department to initiate research.

Technology must be improved through repeated research.

"Well, now for the routine questioning."

After sorting out the documents in his hand, Jacobin glanced at them and put them aside.

He has read this document many times, and he can't say that he knows the contents clearly, but he can also say that he knows it clearly.

"Ah, yes, what do you want to ask this time?"

The boy said casually.

Even if the whole person was locked up, he didn't show any panic expression.

This is also a matter of course, after all,
—He is a player.

How can players have a sense of crisis for life in the game?

To the boy, being accidentally caught by a patrol and then tied up here is just a harmless thing.

Not only was he not nervous, but he also wanted to see what these people were going to do to him next.

Although he has been killed a few times, he won't cancel his account anyway, and he doesn't have any experience points to lose now, so it doesn't matter.

"Tell me, what is your ability?"

Jacobin was a little annoyed at the boy's attitude at first, but he's used to it now.

Picking up the pen and paper, he asked directly.

"I've said it many times, and I don't know what the reason is. It's probably my birth."

"You should be able to feel it. When is your ability activated? Is it activated from the soul or from the brain?"

"Even if you say that, things that are not clear are not clear."

"...Are you kidding me? If you don't say it, we have no idea."

"Aren't you engaged in scientific research? Then I will let you slice it and study it. If you still can't do it, it's your incompetence, right?"

"exactly."

Jacobin nodded frankly, then leaned closer and stared at the boy.

"I'll find out sooner or later, your secret."

For a moment, a cluster of flames appeared in Jacobin's eyes.

This fanatical flame made the boy subconsciously stagnate.

This is completely a subconscious reaction, and it has nothing to do with whether you are afraid or not.

-

[As I said, the deputy minister's performance is completely unprofessional. 】

[As for the soul and possible related magic aspects, he didn't ask targeted questions at all, so naturally he couldn't find the research direction. 】

[Even if the juvenile's cells are extracted countless times, as long as we can't find a more in-depth study, we won't make any progress. 】

[This royal-designated research by the science and technology department will only fall into an endless loop of zero progress. 】

[Continuously extract cells, keep asking questions, and then keep worrying. 】

Aina watched Jacobin's gloomy expression when he walked out the door, and spoke bluntly to Manu.

"It's just the beginning, just a little more time—"

【Minister, this is not what a person who should do serious work should say. 】

[If you need to speculate without data, theology may be more suitable for you. It is not too late to transfer to the Royal Seminary for further study. 】

Aina interrupted Manu's words and said lightly.

"What you said is really direct, it hurt my young heart."

[AI will not lie, and your mind is not young at all, it has been cultivated very strong by your nutrition. 】

Manu's mouth twitched.

He couldn't remember when he had set up such a thing.

"I don't remember teaching you to be such a venomous child."

Angrily, Manu said, "Which person instilled this in you?"

Aina watched Manu's one-man show indifferently, and didn't reply.

Manu felt bored, so he had to stop his performance in front of the children and sighed.

"Okay, okay, I know."

"You connect to Alicia immediately and let her come over."

In the end, Manu gave in.

[About the deputy minister, how do you plan to deal with it. 】

"Just like you said, even if I want to take care of his mood, I don't have that much time to spare."

【Understood. 】

Aina stretched out her finger and turned around in front of Manu.

Then - "snap".

With a snap of the fingers, the screen went black.

[Now start the shielded connection. 】

[Connection object, researcher Alicia Alice de Noir. 】

[This call will block all the screens, and the recording will be sent to the Empire Terminal Server synchronously. 】

Aina's figure disappeared, but the cold voice still lingered in Manu's ear.

"It's blocking the call again, am I so shameless?"

Manu felt his heart being pierced.
