Xiaocui Was Misled (LOL) / The Doctor Has Taken a Liking to Yongdao Xiaoxi

Meanwhile, Nagashima Koki ran to the front desk and greeted a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, saying, "Hello, ma'am."

In response to her question, the receptionist immediately replied, "Hello, Liangliang Pharmaceuticals is not accepting business discussions at the moment."

"..." No, absolutely not.

In that instant, Xiao Cui realized something was wrong. Taking a deep breath, she understood... this was definitely not a typical pharmaceutical company.

Because no receptionist at any pharmaceutical company would say such a thing when a child greets them.

They won't say things like "Liangliang Pharmaceuticals is not accepting business negotiations recently," nor will they use such clichéd phrases that seem to come out of habit.

The correct response is...

[Hey? Little one, are you lost?]

Or...

[Where is your parent? Is she at work? What's her name? I'll call her for you...] That would be something like that.

"..." Nagashima Koki then introduced herself, saying, "I'm Nagashima Koki. I made an appointment to visit your 22nd Group's website before, to visit together... This is my friend."

For Nagashima

Xiao Xi's words...

"A reservation? Please wait a moment, Nagashima Koki... Okay, we've found your visit application. Since your mother works for the group, the visit is free; no extra fee is required."

As she said this, the receptionist, somewhat clumsily manipulating the mouse, said, "Please wait a moment, someone will come to show you around soon."

Xiao Cui: "..."

To be honest, Xiao Cui was completely stunned, after all, there was just too much information... It turned out that Mrs. Nagashima was actually an employee of the 22nd Group.

Isn't this just like Teacher Hong, working for some weirdo?

And why are there official websites for everything...? The 22nd Group even has an official website? Do weirdos even have official websites?

What are the network Wind City doing? Can't they even pinpoint the group's location? Where are the network cops?

Have these Monster Group become this arrogant? And... it seems that Nagashima Koki had already booked a visit for Xiao Cui as well.

Etc...

Xiao Cui suddenly thought of something... She narrowed her eyes and realized that she could use this opportunity to ascertain many things.

"That..."

As Xiao Cui spoke, she turned to the receptionist and asked, "I know Teacher Hong. Is she working at the company now?"

Upon hearing Xiao Cui's words, Mirror Woman's eyes widened. "Lord Hong? She shouldn't be here... Yes, she is indeed not here; she hasn't been back to the group for a long time."

Great, that confirms half of it. Now, what's next...?

"..." Xiao Cui swallowed hard, then licked her chapped lips and asked, "Where's Brother Cong Yu? Can he show us around?"

"..."

"As for Lord Cong Yu, he previously returned to the group..."

As she said this, the Mirror Woman retrieved information from her computer. "She's no longer with the group; it seems she just left."

So that's how it is, or rather, that's exactly how it is.

The coffee shop, Twitter, the 22nd Group, the relationship with Teacher Hong, the strange customers at the coffee shop...

Brother Cong Yu is indeed a member of the Monster Group.

Moreover, the position doesn't seem to be low-ranking.

Xiao Cui confirmed this.

So...

Katsuki Ruri wants to join the 22nd Group.

Chapter 270 Xiao Cui was misled (laughs)

Xiao Cui's worldview is not yet fully formed.

Yes, even though she's a magical girl, she's a rather unique loli form among magical girls...

They look like they're in sixth grade, and their actual age is also similar.

Like many normal children, her understanding of the world is still quite limited, but...

But...

What's outrageous is that Xiao Cui has the self-awareness that "my worldview is not yet fully formed"... This puts her ahead of 99% of her peers.

It even surpasses that of most adults.

Magical girls and monsters, justice and evil, conflict and peace... every country, every TV station, and every video offers a different interpretation.

Sister Yaochuan, Sister Blue Sky, Brother Cong Yu, Teacher Hong, Nagashima Koki, the Kagetsuru Family, the villagers of Fusha Village...

And also Miyamoto- neechan (Miyamoto Kayoko, a member of the Fusha Village team).

Everyone has a different understanding of these things.

What they said and what they conveyed were all different... This is perhaps what is meant by "your position determines your perspective."

Xiao Cui's "buttocks" had nowhere to go for the time being, and she wanted to let them stay in the air for a while.

Xiao Cui couldn't clearly distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and what was right and wrong. She was also aware of this.

So she wanted to try it herself.

Use your eyes to see, your eyes to look, your ears to listen... use your own senses to observe the Inner Side of this world.

Then make a choice and get the answer.

"The group's headquarters is on the 22nd basement level. The remaining floors were originally planned to be categorized and used for dividing the staff into different areas, but this plan was later abandoned... because the floors were already filled with clutter."

The person introducing the two young girls in the elevator was a dark silhouette that looked about the same size as a middle school student.

To be honest, looking at the other person, the only thing Xiao Cui could immediately think of was Monster... but monsters and Monster should be different.

He's probably just a rather eccentric or unusual person?

As Xiao Cui pondered, the strange person who called herself "Little Shadow" continued her explanation, "Besides the 22nd basement level, which is the headquarters, the only other floor currently in use is the 22nd floor, which serves as a meeting room and recruitment floor."

However, it is clear that the recruitment process was not included in their tour today; it only covered the 22nd basement level.

As the other person spoke, the elevator quickly arrived at the -22nd floor.

As the elevator doors opened, a spacious lobby came into view, extremely tall and large.

"Wow--"

Nagashima Koki couldn't help but marvel at the decorations around her that looked like something out of a science fiction movie, and the huge silver-white metal pillars that were part of the building's structure... probably for load-bearing.

The surrounding area was filled with all sorts of strange machines and facilities, which perfectly matched Nagashima Koki's imagination of a secret base.

However, Xiao Cui noticed something amiss, something felt slightly off.

Because...

It's too tall, and it's also very big.

As Xiao Cui thought this, she calculated the area... It was much larger than it appeared from the outside, and this hall was not the entirety of this floor.

The connecting corridors in the lobby clearly lead to more areas.

As Xiao Cui and the others accompanied Little Shadow downstairs, the strange people walking around in the hall noticed them, but they didn't react in any particular way.

These beings, who appeared to have many inhuman characteristics, simply greeted Little Shadow and then continued with their own affairs.

"Greetings Little Shadow Xiaoying!"

"Good morning."

"Little Shadow, are you showing the newcomers around?"

"..." Amidst the greetings from the strange people, Little Shadow nodded in response, saying, "I'm not a newcomer, just visiting."

The strange people responded enthusiastically to Little Shadow's words, greeting Nagashima Koki and Xiao Cui: "Little Shadow- sama, thank you for your hard work--"

"Ah, we've always been short-staffed here..."

"Our department is short-staffed too!"

"Hopefully they can finish junior high school before joining..."

"..." Xiao Cui listened to the conversation of these strange people, and what she could feel from it was the friendly relationship between colleagues.

Just like the human corporations in TV dramas.

Perhaps there are indeed similarities between them?

Despite being an oddball, he chose a way of life similar to that of humans... even better than some people in human society.

Perhaps this is what adults mean by "socialization".

Because monsters are also social beings, they need social interaction to maintain their health, and they also Metamorphosis from humans, retaining human habits.

Based on current observations, the monsters may be more human-like than the magical girls.

Xiao Cui pondered this rationally, then followed Little Shadow's footsteps through the hall and corridor, watching Little Shadow point to a conspicuous room.

The room's location is odd; it seems to be positioned directly in the middle of the hallway, blocking the passage and making it inconvenient for people to move around.

"That's the BOSS's room. The so-called BOSS is the head of the group, the leader of the 22nd Group."

As Little Shadow spoke, she revealed a look of disdain, saying, "She always stays in this room and rarely comes out, but she does her job quite well... Cong Yu used to stay in here too."

Brother Cong Yu... before?

That happened a long time ago.

As Xiao Cui pondered, Nagashima Koki looked at the small room in surprise. "Handsome big brother... will Cong Yu live in there too?"

Little Shadow nodded in response to Nagashima Koki's words, pointed to the other side of the corridor, and said, "Actually, Cong Yu's area is over there."

Following the corridor to the end leads to the area where Cong Yu lives. However, he hasn't been back to his room for several years.

"The red area is next to Cong Yu... Our area is on the other side, and it's the largest among the cadres."

Little Shadow said this with a confident smile, "Because the number of Big Shadow and Little Shadow is the largest, there are a lot, a great many."

Big Shadow... Little Shadow...

Xiao Cui pondered for a moment, then realized something. "So, your situation is actually... like clones or something?"

Little Shadow nodded in agreement, replying, "Yes, Big Shadow is the cadre, while Little Shadow are just clones... but you shouldn't say that in front of the other Little Shadow."

"Not all Little Shadow like being seen as the Big Shadow's clone... We all have different personalities, ages, and interests."

As Little Shadow spoke, Nagashima Koki's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if she was deeply sensing the charm of the Inner Side world.

It's very interesting.

Xiao Cui wasn't unaware of this; she was pondering the information she gleaned from the words... from a timeline perspective.

Cong Yu was already a member of the Monster Group before she met Yaochuan. Moreover, because she had her own area, her status was not low.

"Then, what about the King of Wind City? Isn't he a member of the 22nd Group?"

Xiao Cui pressed on with some trepidation... Or was it true that Brother Cong Yu was indeed the King of Wind City?

"..."

"Ah, no... The King of Wind City is only relatively familiar with Cong Yu, but our group's development in Wind City was permitted."

As she said this, Little Shadow confidently patted her chest and said, "Although, I don't think it's necessarily necessary. After all, if we (Big Shadow and Little Shadow) join forces with Cong Yu, we'll definitely be stronger than the King of Wind City."

I see...

Brother Cong Yu is not the King of Wind City.

Xiao Cui made this judgment.

Chapter 271 The Doctor Takes a Flirt with Nagashima Koki

The perks at this Monster Group seem to be really generous... there's overtime pay, a professional cafeteria, food subsidies, year-end bonuses, and so on.

But Xiao Cui and Nagashima Koki are, after all, just children.
