So Similar

Sakura, on the other hand, was quite calm. She was raised by her family to inherit the family business, and studying was really just a side job for her. Practicing martial arts and cultivating herself was her main job.

However, on the other hand, although Sakura had a very good impression of the job and the easy-going boss in front of her, she still felt a little regretful about the martial arts skills she had developed over the years.

But no matter what, it's definitely better to have a proper job than to become a shady assassin... In a way, Sakura is also a person with a weapon, and her killing intent arises naturally.

On the one hand, I don't really want to make a living with knives, but when it comes to livelihood, I always have to consider this issue.

... It can only be said that family education is one aspect, but Sakura herself is also quite talented.

Sakura calmed herself down and started thinking again about whether she had any more questions to ask.

While waiting, Pardo cooled the slightly burnt mushroom skewers in her hand and handed them to Ling.

"By the way, Pardo, why don't you go to school too?" Liu Bai suddenly thought of this as he looked at Pardo.

He suddenly realized that Pardo was only thirteen this year!

Rather than letting Pardo waste her days lying on her bed at the company, it would be better to send her to school; that would make some sense.

"Huh? No!" Pardo's face immediately turned terrified upon hearing this question.

... No, what are you so scared of? I didn't know you had a dislike for school?

"Even Sister Lianying couldn't survive in school with a knife, let alone me! I'd definitely get beaten to death if I went! Then you'd just be collecting my corpse!"

"..."

What a strange misunderstanding! Liu Bai and Ying both looked up at the sky at the same time.

"Um... I only carry a knife out of habit." Sakura looked puzzled upon hearing this.

This misunderstanding is too strange. Although she carries a knife, she has never seen blood, okay?

"School is pretty good, it's not like I can't make it..."

"Fine, Pardo, you should learn from me instead."

Liu Bai indicated to Ying that there was no need to explain. In any case, Pardo's brain had degenerated into a decoration for being cute these days. Instead of saying so much, he would just take her with him and try to get her a job as an assistant in the lab in the future.

"Oh, oh..." Pardo nodded; she still trusted Liu Bai.

Sakura looked at Liu Bai and finally realized what she had overlooked. "Boss, what was with your disappearance and teleportation before?"

"Oh, because I'm a ghost."

"I see, a ghost."

Sakura nodded in understanding, and the next moment, her whole body stiffened.

Wait, a ghost?

Sakura suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and in an instant, a lot of unpleasant-sounding legends came to mind.

"Um... boss, our company is..."

"It is in the world of the living."

Liu Bai immediately understood what Ying wanted to ask.

She's still too young; her mindset is unstable over such a small matter... But if this were a mature Sakura, she probably would have just slashed at him with a single blow, right?

After all, the most bizarre thing these days is Honkai. Once you've seen enough Honkai, you're bound to stop believing in superstitions. No matter what kind of demons or monsters you encounter, you'll definitely try to cut them down first to see what happens.

Thinking about it carefully, Sakura is somewhat quicker with her wits than her brain.

"The world of the living is good, the world of the living is good..."

Sakura patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"And what about your company's other employees..."

"Pardo, go and rub against the cherry blossoms."

Liu Bai sighed helplessly, and Ying immediately understood what was going on, shaking her head repeatedly. "No need, Miss Pardo is definitely alive."

It's true that Sakura is allergic to cat hair. Although there isn't much cat hair left on Pardo now, Sakura is still subconsciously a little afraid of Pardo.

... This can also be considered a kind of attribute advantage.

"So you see, I'm special, but the company... well, actually the company is also special, just in the 'ordinary sense'."

"I think I understand..."

"Any other questions? If not, let's eat something to prepare for the night. Don't worry about the night watch; I can handle two or three Death Soldiers."

Chapter 334 Too Similar

Boom--!

"Liu Bai, what happened?!"

The loud noise startled Sakura awake from her simple wooden shed.

"It's nothing, just fireworks at sea." Liu Bai glanced at Ying calmly.

"Fireworks?" Sakura was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "A nuclear bomb?"

"Yes, it's quite beautiful."

"... Isn't it true that you can't look directly at a nuclear explosion?" Sakura looked at Liu Bai, who had started to comment, and seriously doubted whether she had attended a fake school.

"Humans can't see it, so what does that have to do with me, a ghost?"

Liu Bai pursed his lips.

While what you said makes a lot of sense, however...

Sakura, who always considered herself a serious person, felt the urge to make sarcastic remarks for the first time, but in the end she managed to swallow them back.

... Consider it a way to get used to working life in advance.

"Sakura, now that you're awake, would you mind covering for me for a shift?... Tsk, these two girls are sleeping like pigs."

"No problem, leave this to me."

Sakura gripped the short sword in her arms tightly and nodded to Liu Bai.

I will be back as soon as possible.

Liu Bai nodded, and his figure instantly disappeared from Ying's sight.

The next moment, Liu Bai appeared beside Eden.

"Whoa! Liu Bai, don't suddenly appear!" Eden, dressed in pajamas, was startled.

"Such a lovely voice, I haven't heard it much since you turned eighteen."

"Ha...you bastard..." Eden grinned.

"Still not asleep?" Liu Bai glanced at the lit computer screen in front of Eden.

"Who do you think I'm not sleeping because of?"

Eden tidied his messy, long red hair with great dissatisfaction.

"How are things on your end? Is Pardo alright?"

"Everything is fine."

"That's good... So now I need to contact Mobius?"

Eden breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then his tone turned dissatisfied.

Liu Bai naturally knew what Eden was unhappy about—she was unhappy that Eden was now acting as a liaison between Liu Bai and Mobius.

So Liu Bai could only respond with a wry smile.

Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you.

Eden rolled his eyes at Liu Bai, who was giving a wry smile.

Eden knows her own family best. Although she is dissatisfied, she is actually more insatiable than anything else.

Despite her current reservations about being a liaison, she feels she would probably suffer from insomnia every night if Liu Bai didn't need her as a liaison and instead contacted Mobius directly.

After all, Mobius's domineering "I was born to be the rightful wife" aura was somewhat overwhelming for Eden. Even though Eden knew nothing would happen when the two of them met, she still felt emo and immediately entered the perspective of the loser.

So from this perspective, Eden would actually love to be a liaison for Liu Bai and Mobius for life.

However, taking this incident out of context, it does indeed make him look like a loser...

"Connected." Eden smoothly began a video call with Mobius.

"Hey, a big star? Still up at night?"

As soon as the call began, Mobius looked at Eden with a hint of mockery.

Eden's face twitched; he was too lazy to reply.

She was quite familiar with Mobius, so she knew that besides being a cold and aloof scientist, he also had a shameless and ruthless side.

In Liu Bai's words, it was the way they looked when they were wandering together in their early years.

A young girl who is not yet an adult, and a ghost that only she can see—it's easy to imagine how difficult it must be for these two to struggle in society. Without a sharp edge, they can't stand firm.

That's why Eden didn't bother arguing with Mobius. After all, if she lost control, the argument would turn into a shouting match, and Eden, who was always a well-bred lady, really couldn't stand up to Mobius. In that case, she would lose both face and reputation.

Fortunately, most of them are now people of some status, so the tough side of Mobius only appears when it comes to issues related to Liu Bai.

"Alright, Mobius, can you two communicate a little more amicably?"

Liu Bai sighed.

"Ah, Liu Bai, you're here too." Mobius's surprise turned into relief.

Although she made a resolute decision, she still felt somewhat burdened.

But the fact that Liu Bai came to find him immediately means that the problem isn't too serious.

Ah, women.

Eden watched Mobius from behind with considerable disdain.

I thought you were doing experiments in the middle of the night, but it turns out you were just worried and couldn't sleep.

Useless fellow.

"... Wasn't someone else also up all night?"

Mobius looked at Eden, who was smirking, with great displeasure.

We've all been through the same thing, so who doesn't know who else?

"Snort..."

Eden gave a soft hum, but didn't refute it. He lay down on the bed and ignored Mobius.

These two are a perfect match in terms of personality, hobbies, and even experiences, but they just can't see eye to eye now.

... Perhaps the problem lies in the fact that we "can talk about each other's experiences".

"Ahem, Mobius, have the Herrscher been eliminated?"

"It has been confirmed that the strong Honkai Energy reaction and the corresponding life reaction have disappeared. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Herrscher has been successfully eliminated."

Mobius remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

"In addition, I submitted your naming suggestion and it was approved. From now on, this kind of exceptional humanoid Honkai creature will be called Herrscher."

"... I feel like I made history without even realizing it."

"To put it simply, it's just the discovery of a new species."

Mobius couldn't help but laugh after saying that.

"A new species that could potentially destroy human civilization... Ha."

"Don't overthink it. The most important thing now is to build up our strength. By the way, now that the Herrscher has been eliminated, let's put the rescue team on the agenda. The people I brought are currently at the foot of the mountain, and none of them have any wilderness survival experience."

... Although Pardo's urban survival experience is already off the charts.

"No problem. Just give me the approximate coordinates. With my authority, I can mobilize several rescue teams. Besides, this matter is indeed urgent. I'll also get your little girl on board."

"Just put her in; she's not going to be a burden."

"Good."
