Life Resume

"Selina, how does the new prosthetic feel?"

The middle-aged man seemed to realize the call had connected. He put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the coffee beside him, and looked at Selina.

"Not bad, thank you."

Selina moved her hands and replied with a smile.

This middle-aged man was Selina's direct superior, Smith, the director of the Federal Investigation Bureau.

Her previous prosthetic had been destroyed due to the risk of contamination after being observed by the God of Knowledge. Smith had applied for a newer model prosthetic for her and even used federal funds to reimburse her.

"After all, you're a hero in Dawn City now," Smith took a sip of his coffee. "Now there's good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news."

Selina said without hesitation.

"Okay, the good news is you've been promoted. Because you destroyed the Evil God Priest's lair, killed an intelligent Evil God Priest, and destroyed the Evil God's offspring he summoned, you are now an Assistant Inspector in the Federal Investigation Bureau. Congratulations,"

Smith picked up a letter of appointment from the table beside him, showed it in front of the camera, and then continued with a smile, "However, your duties have been adjusted. You won't need to perform field missions in the Wilderness anymore. You'll only be responsible for federal criminal investigations within Dawn City.

The Investigation Bureau has specially established a Second Criminal Investigation Team for you, with you as the leader. Of course, you will still be under my jurisdiction."

Selina knew her superior's twisted sense of humor. If she said she wanted to hear the bad news, Smith would definitely tell her the good news first.

And this job adjustment was actually moving her away from the front lines, making her responsible for criminal cases unrelated to syndicate affairs, to prevent her from provoking the syndicates again.

This was protecting her, but she couldn't be happy about it. She sighed, "Okay, that is indeed bad news. So what's the other bad news?"

Smith knew the personality of his capable subordinate. He smiled and didn't ask further, but continued to explain, "The bad news is that your team currently only has you. However, in a couple of days, a newly graduated trainee investigator will be assigned to you."

"A hot-blooded rookie?" Selina leaned back on the bed. "That's not too bad. I hope he can be a bit more well-behaved."

"How well-behaved?" Smith teased. "A law-abiding good kid?"

When she heard the words 'law-abiding', Selina was startled. For some reason, she thought of that hideous and terrifying head, the tentacles flying everywhere, and the Evil God Priest who tied himself to the Evil God's offspring and perished with it.

The moment she regained her sanity, she rushed back, but all she saw were scattered remains and the twisted contamination in the space.

"Smith," as if possessed, she asked softly, "Do you think Evil God Priests might also retain their humanity?"

"Selina," the smile on Smith's face gradually faded, and his expression became serious. "You should know that within six months of being discharged from the hospital, you will be under protective surveillance by the Federal Investigation Bureau and the Dawn City Police Department to ensure you haven't been contaminated by the Evil God. I think they would be very happy to hear you ask that question?"

"I just suddenly thought of it."

Selina shook her head.

The contamination of the Evil God was subtle. It would gradually twist a person's thoughts and logic. Any sympathy for the Evil God or Evil God Priests would be suspected of contamination, because such a perception might not come from a person's original will, but rather the result of twisted thinking.

"I've seen the video records from your prosthetic," Smith placed his coffee on the desk and calmly looked at Selina through the screen. "We still don't know what happened with that Evil God Priest named Yezuola, but if you insist on me giving you an answer to your question,"

His face was cold, and his tone was icy, "They won't, and can't, possess humanity. Selina, remember, you are human."

"I understand."

Selina nodded silently.

The system's subtitles were fast. Most of the subtitles were only a short line for each year, but He Ao felt as if he could see the entire year of time truly flowing through that short line.

Then He Ao's vision gradually recovered. What came into view was pure white light, and a plump nurse with long brown hair. "Mr. Ander? You're awake. You're really lucky. That steel rod actually only went through your body, perfectly passing through the gaps between your internal organs."

"Are you awake?"

A somewhat cold and mature female voice came from beside the nurse.

He Ao turned his head to look. The first thing that came into view was smooth golden hair like a waterfall, then a beautiful and heroic face, and a curvaceous and exquisite figure.

The plump and beautiful nurse standing beside this person was like a wild flower by the roadside accompanying a peony.

He Ao knew this person,

Selina.
