Finally, with Huang Hao's help, Qian Jie got out and went straight back to the Moth to the Flame headquarters.

Angela had been waiting there. The moment she saw Qian Jie return, she followed him, keeping her eyes on him.

Qian Jie ignored Angela and walked on, but wherever Qian Jie went, Angela followed. After trailing him all afternoon, he had no choice but to honor their previous agreement. "Get lost. I keep my word. I'll find someone to introduce you to right now, all right?"

When Angela heard Qian Jie agree, she immediately smiled happily, bowed, and finally left.

Once Angela had gone, Qian Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered something else. "Come to think of it, I'm with the Poison Cocoon now. Maybe I should just..."

After leaving Qian Jie, Angela found a random place to sit and thought about what she should do next. "Uncle Qian Jie has already solved the problem of how I can join the team. Father was right that there wouldn't be much else to do, but judging by the situation, I'm going to have to fight Domination."

At that thought, Angela curled up despondently in a corner, feeling that life—or rather, machine life—was hopeless, with nothing but darkness ahead.

Just then, Mobius appeared from somewhere and immediately took Angela's hand. "Angela, are you thinking of staying here? Come with me. Be my experim—no, be my assistant. That way, you can accomplish your father's goal and help yourself, too."

Angela was unaccustomed to Mobius's enthusiasm. It also felt a little unreliable, so she planned to refuse.

Before Angela could say anything, Mobius continued, "I have the most complete collection of data here. You can read whatever you want. That will help you assist your father better, won't it?"

Angela was tempted, but then she remembered what her father had said: "Mobius is a good person, but she isn't human. It's like how I'm X, but not A. You can trust her, but you mustn't hand yourself over to her."

In the end, Angela still shook her head and refused. "Sorry, Aunt Mobius. I know why I was created, and I know my father's goal. There's no need."

Mobius said, "But that identity was meant for your father. Now that you're alone, how are you supposed to stay here?"

Angela was just about to mention that she would find Qian Jie when someone approached her. "Are you Ms. An...?"

Angela nodded. The researcher was deeply shocked. "What the heck, they're letting a child... Never mind, let's get to the point. Our captain has already reported to the higher-ups that you'll become our adjutant."

Angela asked, "Hmm? Why is your team's execution so fast? How did I join so quickly?"

The team member said, "I heard you participated in the subjugation of the previous Honkai. The higher-ups don't have any information on you, so maybe they're trying to win you over. Or perhaps they're afraid. Either way, they specially approved your admission."

Angela said, "Mm, all right. By the way, were you serious about those last two sentences?"

The team member said, "Damn, they're even sending someone this young. Aren't the people upstairs just **?"

In the end, the team member walked away grumbling and cursing, while Angela found an excuse to leave as well.

However, what Angela cared about more was that, in the script, Qian Jie's adjutant was Immer. How had she been replaced by him?

Angela immediately found Qian Jie and asked, "Uncle Qian Jie, why did you make me your adjutant?"

Qian Jie said, "It's convenient."

Angela asked, "Then what about Immer?"

Qian Jie said, "How do you know her name? That assassin is rather interesting for trying to kill me, but I haven't decided yet. Do you really want to give the position to her?"

Angela said, "Actually, giving it to her wouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing that, Qian Jie did not hesitate at all. He immediately stood up, made a call, and said to Angela, "I've fulfilled my promise to you. You're the one who didn't want it. Hello, Elysia, do me another favor. Help me replace my adjutant with that assassin."

Angela said, "6"
