Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

Less than a few minutes after Muirses summoned, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.

Then, a tall figure appeared outside the door, opened the door and walked in.And looking at the figure that walked in, Ifrit subconsciously put on a smile on his face.

But it was at this moment that she realized that the man in front of her seemed a little different from the other white coats.

The first thought is that this man has an inexplicable aura.

He was a tall Vaifan, even taller than Saria.The huge untrimmed horns are curved under the forehead, which looks a bit like voyeurism.

There was an inexplicable indifference and indifference on that face that was not much older than Ifrit, as well as a strange sense of arrogance.As if nothing could enter his eyes, Ifrit had a bad feeling.

Such a person is really far from the gentle and amiable big brother she imagined.Especially when those reddish pupils turned to stare at her, Ifrit even felt as if she was being stared at by some kind of lethal weapon, with an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.

"You are Ifrit?"

The man in the white Rhine Life uniform with a string of light green spell-casting units hanging from his waist looked at Ifrit.

But it was just watching, he was standing outside the gate, and did not come in with Muirses.Those weird and indifferent eyes seemed to be looking at something he knew but was unfamiliar with.

That slightly terrifying performance made Ifrit shrink back subconsciously, but she soon realized that something was wrong.

No, this is my savior.

How can you be afraid of your savior?

Although it does look scary, it always feels like he doesn't even have to move if he wants to kill himself...

Ifrit put away the messy thoughts in his heart, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the Vajvan man standing at the door with his arms crossed, trying his best to show a good image.

"Well, I heard Miu Miu say that you saved me, so I always wanted to thank you in person..."

"It's not me, it just happens that you are there."

Li Lin looked at Ifrit lying on the hospital bed calmly, glanced at the medical equipment like a hill behind her and frowned.

"And you should really thank Hemer and the other researchers. Compared to me, they are the ones who really care about you. I just signed the form."

"However, I heard that you directly chose me..."

"It's just a choice. It may seem big to you, but you don't have to take it to heart."

"..."

"Then I have seen you, and you have seen me. If there is nothing else, I will continue my work. You should also work hard to live here."

"Ah, um..."

This is the adults.

Looking at the man standing at the door with an indifferent face, Ifrit told himself in his heart.

He must have said that because he didn't want other people's efforts to go to waste.It is definitely not because I am dispensable, but because I believe that I can survive.

Otherwise, why did he choose himself from so many files and give himself the name Ifrit?It must be because he has expectations for himself, but he won't show it.

"Okay, what are you talking about when you meet a child?"

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little stiff, Muirses came out from behind and poked Li Lin's cheek with a dissatisfied expression.

"You were the one who appointed her at the beginning. Why are you pretending to be an indifferent man here? Girls are very delicate and sensitive at heart. You should at least show your feelings?"

"emotion?"

Standing at the door, Li Lin raised his eyebrows at the eccentric Muirses, and there was no other emotion on his steely and stern face.

"I was really emotional in the past, but I was not very happy with the results. Although it was inevitable, I still don't want that kind of thing to happen again. I only hope that this experiment can be successful, and No one dies, let alone an experiment gone wrong. It's that simple."

"Ah... don't be so serious when facing little girls... But you are not very good at talking, so let's just leave it at that."

"I'm off to work. Goodbye."

"Wait, why don't you send Ifrit something? This child has always wanted to see you. What do you look like now?"

"Message? Yes."

Looking at Muirses, and then at Ifrit, who had a somewhat gloomy expression, the tall man nodded after thinking about it.

The light red eyes stared at Ifrit's withered body, and after looking up and down, the majestic and heavy voice conveyed his will at the door.

"Live. Live no matter what. Only in this way can we have a future."

The majestic voice echoed in the room like thunder.

"You are not a chosen one, you are just yourself. So don't live for others, just think about your own problems. You are an experimental subject, and you don't owe me anything."

"Don't indulge yourself, don't rebel, don't hurt those who help you, live well, and grow up successfully. This is all my blessings and hopes for you. I only hope that you can live healthy. Only That's all."

"……goodbye."

The pale red eyes stared deeply at Ifrit's twisted horns and the rough crystals on his body, then turned and left without hesitation.

This crisp behavior not only made Ifrit show a little sentimentality, but even Muirses froze in the room, and then hurriedly chased him out.

"Eh? Wait a minute! It's really... Evefu, I'm sorry, I'll go talk to him."

"Well, thank you."

Seeing Muirses hurriedly thrown out and the closed door, the smile on Ifrit's mouth gradually faded away.

'It looks like this person doesn't like you as much as you think.The last dream is also shattered, isn't it?Where there is any love for no reason, it is all fake.He just happened to pick you.Just like picking someone else. '

"..."

'Look at it clearly, you obviously know it all.Nobody likes you, nobody cares about you.Everyone treats you as an experiment. '

"...shut up."

'Don't you want to burn it all to ashes? '

"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me!"

In the pure white room, Ifrit curled up and yelled weakly at the voice that appeared in her heart for the first time.He could only listen to the flames of wanton laughter continuing to burn in his body.

until everything is reduced to ashes.

Chapter 6 Office Struggle

Li Lin went directly to start a new company, of course not because he suddenly had a big idea and planned to run away, but because of the inevitable result of multiple factors.

On the one hand, Li Lin's external relations department was hurt by the fall of the Stuart faction, and it was extremely difficult to negotiate.Coupled with the fact that Li Lin himself went crazy during that period, Rhine Life's external liaison work fell into a deadlock.

At this time, he himself requested to open a series of scientific research facilities, and tried to attract other departments to carry out joint research, and even used his personal relationship to contact occult researchers for replacement.This can already be said to be quite a taboo thing, and several department heads complained about it.

So this split can be said to be the default of all the upper-level factions of Rhine Life to some extent.Li Lin has not been able to produce more cash flow. Although the mysterious investor is still investing, it is still a bit of a drop in the bucket compared to setting up several research projects in succession. In some places, it is necessary for its departments to carry out collaborative research and even take the lead. Research.

However, due to his own reasons, Li Lin still has some harbingers. He has been monopolizing power for a long time, and he would rather hit the back of his head with his busy feet than let go of a series of plans in his hands.

And this kind of friction could be suppressed by the outstanding performance of the external relations department when Stuart was not dead before, but Stuart is dead, so all kinds of conflicts will basically spread out in the near future and become a conflict. object of attack.

He is indeed a very good leader to the members of the department, but he belongs to a department of the External Relations Department.His outreach department is also very good to the members of other departments, and he often treats guests to dinner. Do you think the other department heads think this world is really beautiful, or do they think this son of a bitch is poaching me?

Li Lin's strength has not reached the recognized natural disaster. He is the most powerful assassin, but he has not yet had the powerful ability to directly change the natural environment. Few of the executives in Rhine Life are afraid of him.Under the combination of the two, there are continuous conflicts in the open and in the dark. The final result is that Li Lin will give up most of his plans to intervene, leaving only his core planning area, and maintaining his autonomy to open a branch in Casimir.

Of course, it's not such an understatement when it comes to real struggle.In fact, several departments united against several other departments.At the beginning, the engineering department and the security department, the ecology department, the energy department, the engineering department and its own outreach department fought hard internally, which suppressed the arrogance of other departments.However, as Muirses's attitude gradually became ambiguous and other departments' funds were tight, the original advantages quickly turned into disadvantages, and finally the ending about Li Lin was finalized at the last meeting.

Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of Muirses's small actions. Calling him directly was not so much to take care of Ifrit's emotions, but to some extent forced himself to cut himself off from other departments.

Because not only Ifrit, but several other planned projects have to make a cutting statement in the past, saying that they will no longer be in charge of the progress of these project departments.

But it's not that there are no backers, at least Muirses is waiting to be disgusted by the energy department and engineering department.

So many of my experimental projects require these two large departments to cooperate in the management and control, and now I have directly cut down an ecological department in the non-fortress, you see if they hate you.

A bad woman like Muirses deliberately disgusts other people who pick themselves clean, see if you can really pick them clean.It is true that the other departments have joined forces, but they can see it, and it will be your turn next.

Looking at the series of books and manuals prepared in front of him, Li Lin couldn't help sighing.And this was also heard by Seliya who was holding the coffee. She put a cup of coffee on the table, put the other cup on her lips and blew on it, and looked at Li Lin with a gloomy face worriedly.

"Is everything ready?"

"It's never ready, but at least the cutting is done."

"Mulses did a little too much this time. He deliberately forced you to go to other departments for cutting, and many people saw it."

"She has her own position, at least she has to do it for the ecology department. The ecology department has a very delicate position. If it can't get results for many years, it can only engage in political struggles."

After putting all the things in the box, Li Lin sat on the chair and took a sip of coffee, looking at the night outside the window and sighed.

Originally, he came to Rhine Life just to dawdle, but the consequence of becoming the king of scrolls was to go into exile again.

He is really not suitable for politics. He just wants to make everyone happy, but he forgets that the upper class is often not considered a person.

It may be true that some upper echelons don't care about this kind of political struggle, and only want to really make scientific progress, but it is obvious that Muirses is not that kind of person.He also paid the price for his misjudgment.

"I'll ask you to take care of things about Ifrit's child. If I'm not here, they will almost certainly step into those fields. Muirses has no cards to play. In order to catch up with the progress, I will definitely recommend those departments to speed up research and development schedule."

"Ah."

"I also handed over the planning forms for those projects to you. You are the security department, and they dare not do anything to you, so you must stick to your beliefs, and no matter what happens, you must be firm in your thoughts. You are Serena, she's not a weak girl... Although it's not my turn to talk about you, how should I say it, I always want to say something when things come to an end."

"Ah."

"Thinking about it, it seems that this year, apart from making troubles, I haven't talked to you much, and I haven't spent much time with you. But I know that you have always supported me behind my back this year. I messed up You've protected me to this extent, so thank you very much."

"Ah."

"In short, this is all I have. Rhine Life is all up to you, Serena."

"……Um."

"Goodbye. My protector. Thank you so much for more than a year."

We shall meet again in Casimir.

After gulping down the coffee that Sereya had personally ground, Li Lin took the suitcase and pushed open the door, leaving the residence where he had lived for more than a year.

Serena, on the other hand, sat where Li Lin was sitting just now, looking at the drained coffee cup and the untouched coffee in her hand, her delicate face was slightly shaken for a moment, and then it became calm .

Only a piece of pure white enamel froze the coffee cup, solidifying it into a permanent shape.

Chapter 7 is not Casimir in and out

In fact, what Li Lin wanted to go at first was not Casimir, but Longmen.

As an international metropolis, a world financial center, a gateway to the outside world, the birthplace of world currency, and a center of cultural exchange, it is theoretically a more suitable area than Colombia.
