Arknights is too real, right?

After placing the three top students at Rhine Life, Xia Feng looked in the direction of the iron gate.

"Come out, stop hiding."

"ah!"

With a woman's exclamation, Aina, who was wearing a nursing uniform, walked out with some trepidation.

Although she is not a familiar operator, Aina can be considered an old acquaintance of Xia Feng.

Back in Rhineland, Aina was responsible for his three meals a day and daily life.

Xia Feng put one hand on his waist.

"Sister Na, you are so old, why are you still so shy?"

"Go to hell, you're too old, I'm not 30 yet!"

"Not here yet?"

"Just past one."

From the beginning to the end, Aina was regarded as one of her own, and she took care of him meticulously at the beginning.

Especially when his power reached the critical point and he was forced to leave the base, Aina showed his true feelings. When he broke through the restrictions and returned successfully, Aina's joy was also from the bottom of her heart.

This time, Aina did not hesitate to offend her old club and secretly hid in the base to lead the way for Shuangxing's rescue. She was extremely benevolent and righteous.

"Sister Na, do you still plan to go back to work at Rheinland Life?"

Aina smiled bitterly.

"I have seriously violated the regulations. How can I return it?"

"Then do you have any other plans, such as going back to your hometown to get married or something."

Aina's face turned red.

"What are you talking about? I haven't even considered getting married and having children."

"I just said get married, not have children."

"you"

All joking aside, Xia Feng could tell that there was a trace of confusion about the future in Aina's eyes.

"Okay, Sister Na, I won't joke with you anymore. What are your plans in the future? If I can be of any help, I will definitely try my best."

Aina sighed.

"I have been staying at Rheinland Life for these years, from the most basic nursing worker to the general administrator. Now I am suddenly unemployed. To be honest, I don't know what to plan, but it doesn't matter. I can help Dr. Hemmer. I can't help you." regret."

Xia Feng seemed to understand.

"Sister Na, if you have no idea what to do, do you want to go back to Victoria with me?"

"Ah? Going abroad?"

"Yes, the white-faced owl and the others will go together. My house is very big, and we can accommodate as many people as we come."

Aina was happy at first, and then seemed to be worried about something.

"But...I don't know anything, I don't know medical or scientific research, I"

"Can you settle accounts?"

"Settling accounts? I know a little bit."

"Cooking?"

"I'm good at this."

Xia Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"That's no problem, Sister Na. I'm now officially inviting you. I hope you can take up the position of life manager of Black Feather BBQ Restaurant. The salary is to take care of food and housing. The salary is the highest standard in first-tier cities, and there are various benefits. .”

Aina was in a daze.

"That's not appropriate."

"If you are not satisfied, of course you can refuse."

"No, no, no, I agree!"

Seeing this arrangement, Hemo and others all showed happy smiles.

Mel held her hands high and walked away.

"Yeah, you can continue to eat the food cooked by Sister Na when you go to Victoria!"

The white-faced owl said expressionlessly.

"This arrangement is very reasonable and the white-faced owl thinks it is perfect."

After unifying their opinions, everyone went to rest happily. After the follow-up matters were dealt with, they could take the boat back to Victoria together.

After dealing with these people, Xia Feng still needs to find someone else.

After leaving the rooftop, Xia Feng found Seria at the gate on the first floor of the base.

Xia Feng knew that unlike Hemo and others, Seria was involved in more things.

Although there is an unnoticeable tenderness in her seriousness, in the final analysis, her mission is not just for one person like Hermer.

However, Xia Feng still wanted to try his best.

Walking to the door, Xia Feng spoke first.

"Seria, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"I gotta go."

"Go? Where are you going?"

Ceria closed her eyes gently and said in a deep voice.

"I have just received an order. The senior management of Rheinland Life has restored my position as the head of the Defense Department. From now on, the Defense Department is independent of the Rheinland Life System, and all employees can only be transferred by me."

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Why is this happening?"

"Don't be surprised. This is an inevitable result. The purpose of the Defense Department is to control and suppress failed experiments, not to be a private soldier of an organization. This is also the intention of Colombia's top brass."

Later, Xia Feng understood the meaning from Seria's explanation.

In fact, it is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is still the price of the failure of the Black Flame plan.

The Colombian government deprived Rhine Life of the right to mobilize the defense section privately, changing this armed force from an organization's private action team to another nature.

Of course, the Defense Department is still under Rheinland Life, but the transfer rights are not entirely in the hands of Rheinland Life's senior management.

Dealing with experimental accidents and suppressing out-of-control experimental subjects are the responsibilities of the Defense Section, but other than that, Rheinland Life can no longer use the power of the Defense Section for any military operations other than suppression.

Because of this incident, the significance and status of the Defense Department rose to another level.

It is both the out-of-control insurance and the eye of supervision, and Seria has become the controller of this authority.

In the normal historical trajectory, Seria would choose to leave Rhine life after the Balrog incident, but now, due to the interference of various factors, the established trajectory has been interfered with beyond recognition.

There is no doubt that the reputation of Rhine Life was greatly affected by this incident.

Being seriously questioned by Colombia's top management means that he will not be able to carry out dark experiments wantonly in the future.

However, the desires of the human heart can be hidden, and as long as the temptation remains, it will not completely disappear.

Even if it fails, Rhine Life knows one thing very well.

The failure of the Black Flame Plan this time caused another result by mistake, that is, the original Flame Demon Plan "succeeded" after a lapse of one year.

Ifrit has merged with the ancient stone to an unprecedented state, perhaps, it can be called a perfect fusion, and she can precisely control this power with her own thoughts.

Looking at Seria's stern expression, Xia Feng opened his mouth.

"Ceria, are you really not going to Victoria with Hermer?"

"No, I still have my responsibilities."

"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself."

"I don't blame myself. Like Hermer, I will use my own way to protect what I want to protect."

Ceria opened her eyes and looked at Xia Feng solemnly.

"Anyway, I want to thank you for taking care of Ifrit over the past year. From now on, Helmer and Ifrit will still be counting on you."

Xia Feng hesitated to speak, and finally could only nod.

"Do not worry."

"But let's make a deal in advance. As far as I know, Victoria may not be as peaceful as it appears. If Ifrit's situation is in danger in the future, I will take her away."

"certainly."

There was no goodbye, no send-off.

Seria took one last deep look at the base behind her.

"Xia Feng, take care."

Seria left, but she did not choose to give up everything coolly and go to Victoria with everyone.

However, Xia Feng understands that in Ceria's heart, the responsibility that needs to be borne is far greater than personal feelings.

Because of Helmer's "reckless" decision, Ifrit escaped from the control of Rhine's life. This time, it was her turn to take on the task of "supervision".

If you stay at Rheinland Life, you can know all the trends and decisions of this organization immediately.

If Rhine's life regains its strength in the future and there is a tendency to target Ifrit again, Seria will definitely kill it.

Out of this consideration, in a country across the sea from Victoria, Seria chose to be alone, silently guarding Ifrit's majestic sentry tower.
