I really only stop

Was it just a near-death experience?Now I have come to hell to report?

"Who's hell will play with yogurt? Are you stupid?"

A somewhat familiar voice sounded from the steps, and Haimo looked back subconsciously, his eyes widened in surprise:

"Lu, Master Lu Xi?! Are you dead too?"

"Why do you curse me as soon as you wake up? Be careful that I throw you into the temple to feed the fish."

After giving Haimo an angry look, Lu Xi handed him a towel:

"Wipe it, your face is full of sweat."

"Yes, thank you Lord Lucy."

Reflexively took the towel in Lu Xi's hand, and after wiping it twice, Haimo realized a very critical problem:

"Where's the mask? Where's my mask?! Without the mask, my body would—"

"Are you only now noticing? It seems that you are the dumb beast that Lu Xi said could not turn its head."

Using magic to levitate her body, Miss Cat flew around the completely blinded Haimo:

"Relax. Since you have been awake for such a long time, according to Gu's judgment, the curse on the Batley family has been completely broken."

"Has it been broken?"

Haimer's brain obviously cannot accept so much information in an instant:

"Yes, yes! Why do I still remember the matter between Master Lu Xi and Master Puppet? This is not right!"

"Hey! You! It's not allowed to be called a solitary [doll]—"

Before Ms. Cat swung her short hand to stop it quickly, Lu Xi showed a bright smile to Haimo:

"—That's what happened. Looking at you now, all the hidden dangers have been eliminated. I'm really happy, congratulations, congratulations~"

"……wrong."

Not being fooled so easily by Lu Xi, Haimo subconsciously grabbed at his chest, but the feeling of nothing in his palm made him freeze in place for an instant:

"Where is Alice? Where is my Alice?"

"This……"

After looking at each other, Lu Xi finally put away the smile on his face, and instead sighed helplessly:

"I originally wanted to hide it from you, but now it seems impossible."

He faintly sensed something from Lu Xi's attitude, regardless of his physical weakness, Haimo struggled to get up from the bed, and tightly grasped Lu Xi's sleeve:

"You, what do you mean? How did I become like this when I was already dead?"

"We don't know the details. I just received a communication from Nova when I was about to get home."

Asking Haimo to lie down on the bed again, Lu Xi shrugged:

"After rushing to Sky City, I found you lying on the ground with Alice's empty bottle beside you—I couldn't figure out what happened, so I carried you here."

"These can all be matched with my memory, but... how?"

Grabbing his hair vigorously, Haimo's face was full of disbelief:

"Body...Alice...I obviously already..."

"【I love you.】"

That never-existing voice came to mind again, and Haimer's body trembled uncontrollably like an electric shock.

Difficult to say...

————————————

[Through the image analysis and reconstruction simulation of the center, it has been determined that Mr. Haimer's physical improvement occurred rapidly after he was infected with the code name Alice. 】

Through an encrypted channel that only each other can hear, Nova dutifully reports:

[Specific reason: unknown.The center is unable to explain how this phenomenon occurs without the aid of holy light and medicine. It is recommended that the Commander conduct further investigation. 】

If Nova could understand the reason behind this, she probably wouldn't talk about the [Isis Agreement] every day.

Ignoring Nova's request for the time being, Lucy pulled a chair and sat down, looking at Haimo who was devastated on the bed:

"Looking at your appearance, you probably already understand all this."

Turning his head with difficulty, Haimo hoped that Lu Xi could deny his guess:

"Is... Alice?"

"Well, that's right."

Although he could see the faint hope flickering in Haimo's eyes, after hesitating for a while, Lu Xi still told him the truth:

"The symptoms of complete amnesia in your family, whether it is a genetic disease or a curse - has been completely expelled by Alice now."

"But, but! Alice obviously only has the ability to create [Illusion of Love]!"

As if trying to overthrow something, Haimo rarely raised his voice:

"And, and...how could she do such a thing? She's just a mindless bacterium!"

"...Don't run away anymore. Before you woke up, you had a dream about [love]. You know better than anyone else that this is Alice's ability."

Not giving Haimo any chance to escape, Lu Xi looked at him calmly:

"As for the latter point... isn't that what you've been trying to prove?"

"—This is not the proof I want!"

As a subordinate, he directly interrupted the cadre's words, but at this time, Haimo was completely unaware of the rationality of his gaffe.

what!Why!

Even though everything failed to prove Alice's consciousness, she gave me the answer when I was dying?

If you miss it, don’t bring it to play like this, right? !You remained silent while I was conscious, and suddenly appeared when I accepted death.And now, now that I'm safe and sound, you—

"What kind of proof is this..."

Curling his whole body under the quilt, Haimo gritted his teeth tightly, letting the tears slide freely from his eyes:

"...In this way, am I still alone?"

"—Look at you, here, take it, don't drop it."

Feeling something being stuffed into the palm of his hand involuntarily, before Haimer had time to react, a familiar wave of magic power made his eyes widen suddenly.

This feeling is——

"Alice?!"

Instantly turned over from the bed and sat up, Haimo tremblingly held the small bottle in his hand to his eyes. Although he was very familiar with the existence in front of him, he couldn't believe that he was in reality at this moment.He quickly turned his head to look at Lu Xi:

"But...how could it be? According to the last feeling in the illusion, Alice has clearly—"

"It's cheap and good."

Couldn't help laughing, Lu Xi pretended to be indifferent and spread his hands:

"Do you still remember the time when you took back all the Alice that you spread out?"

Haimo, who was overwhelmed by the great joy of 'lost and found', nodded subconsciously:

"remember."

"Actually, that time, you didn't take back all of Alice."

Lu Xi said: "A part of Alice was preserved as a sample by my holy...cough, a very, very powerful doctor. After being asked by me, she handed over this sample to me—and then It's in your hands."

Ju, there is such a method?

Logically speaking, the Bartley family's control over bacteria is absolute.Even with the strength of a very high-ranking clergyman, it is difficult to keep a little bit as a sample. How could someone keep so many? !

However, the familiar touch on the hand cannot deceive people.

He couldn't care less about thinking more, looking at the small bottle in his hand, Haimo called out in a small voice:

"...Alice?"

"..."

There was another familiar silence.

Reluctantly facing Haimo's puzzled eyes of "what's going on", Lu Xi sighed deeply:

"You really think of me as an encyclopedia? It may be that the magic power is exhausted to save you, or it may be because of other reasons-this is your research field, why are you looking at me so pitifully?"

"Huh, I'm sorry! I'm so happy—"

It was only then that he realized his gaffe, Haimo blushed, and quickly protected the bottle in his hand:

"No matter what the reason is, now that I have heard her voice, I am confident that I will be able to make it sound again! Even with everything I have now!"

"Well, come on."

As if just remembering, Lu Xi pointed to the surrounding room:

"It just so happens that no one is using this basement. In order to support your great cause of finding a wife, I might as well give it to you. If you have time, you can study more bacteria and daily life supplies, which can not only improve your innate ability, but also […] Slightly] helping the development of the Demon King Army’s funds can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”

"Really, is it possible?!"

Knowing how favorable Lu Xi's offer was to him, after being overjoyed, Haimo's eyes became firm as he thought of something.

Putting the small bottle containing Alice back into his arms with great care, Haimo stared at Lu Xi for a while, and suddenly bowed deeply:

"Thank you very much for your help! From now on, in the name of Haimer Bartley, I will always follow in the footsteps of Master Lu Xi, and vow to open up a path for you!"

"Get up, get up, it should be said that each other is right."

Lifting Haimo up, Lu Xi held his hand with a bright smile:

"From now on, you are the director of the Lucy-Osiris Joint Food Research Center, and you must work harder in the future~"

"oh oh?"

It was a touching and serious plot just now, why did it suddenly become such a sense of sight that a black-hearted company recruits stunned new employees?

——The above are the real thoughts from Miss Maomao who watched all the whole process.

----------

[Master Host~ This is the bill for this time, please keep it well~~]

'...As soon as you spend money with you, the attitude of the whole system changes for the better, why is my system so disrespectful. '

Really couldn't bear to look directly at the light screen dangling flatteringly in front of his eyes, Lu Xi sighed deeply:

'Although it looks a bit embarrassing to collect points now, but I just looked really handsome in front of my subordinates-what a big deal. '

[To be honest, the system does not understand the cost of the host this time. 】

The system pops up a dialog box with question marks:

[According to the system's judgment, the 'body function correction reagent' you exchanged this time does not fall within the scope of the 'critical moment' you mentioned. Reduced the danger of being spotted by hostile factions. 】

'I have nothing to do with you!I am happy, I want you to take care of it! '

Responding to the system's sensational dialog box with a classic three-in-a-row, Lu Xi rolled his eyes:

'Isn't Alice saving Haimer back with great difficulty, wouldn't it be rash to let him die because of a family hereditary disease infected with other bacteria?Grandpa likes to eat candy, not like to eat knives.If you agree, deduct 1. '

【1. 】

After playing a 1 quite honestly, the system paused slightly:

[Temporary task: The person who rebuilt the bridge has been completed.Please check related rewards. 】

'You actually made up a mission to compensate me?If you are touched by the radiance of my personality, just tell me, you kind of inorganic layer~'

Looking at the point rewards that were almost evenly matched in surprise, Lu Xi scratched his head in embarrassment:

'If I say now that apart from wanting to eat candy, keeping Haimer is also because of the economic value he can create as a plague warlock, wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere? '

【...Resources are tight, the price increase permit application for living area items, the countdown is three to two—】

'No!You are retaliating! ! ! '
