Chapter 144
The patterns on the wall pulsated like blood vessels, forming a faint flow of energy between her palm and the wall.
A low hum came from deep within the Library, the floor began to flow and change, the corridors restructured themselves, and the stairs stretched out as if they were alive.
All the ministers took a half step back in unison, watching the familiar building respond to unfamiliar instructions.
Brilliant patterns of light spread from Angela's feet, quickly covering the entire central hall.
As the last ray of light entered her fingertips, the entire Library seemed to hold its breath—then returned to normal, only every corner was filled with Angela's unique aura.
She slowly withdrew her hand, a faint blue light still lingering on her fingertips.
This place already belongs to her.
The ministers watched all of this unfold, and Angela wore a gentle smile.
"Alright, everyone, get back to your posts. Don't worry, with me here, nothing here will disappear."
Upon hearing this, the ministers exchanged bewildered glances, but faced with this replica of 'Carmen,' they too chose to believe it.
Her smile was indeed very infectious, and of course, this was also due to the fact that they genuinely felt Angela had become the curator here.
After all the ministers had left, one person remained. Red Sister stood beside her, smoking, and asked her a question.
"Now that you've taken over this Library, how can you be sure your supervisor will come back to you?"
"She will definitely come back."
"You have to understand, there are many times when even the closest relationships can be forced to abandon the other person," Red Sister said.
These words clearly moved Angela.
Then she said with certainty, "She will definitely come back, I believe it."
"Believe it... that doesn't sound like something Angela would say. Maybe you've changed too."
Upon hearing this, Red Sister smiled nonchalantly and then left.
After everyone had left, Angela, who had become the Library, sat down in a chair.
Her eyes flickered. Angela sat alone on the curator's bench, her back ramrod straight but appearing unusually thin.
Her fingers unconsciously rubbed against the armrest, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Those eyes, which always held a smile, stared blankly into the void, and finally gave up, slumping into the chair.
"Manager... please take me back quickly. There's a lot of energy here. I wish you were here with me."
Angela gazed sadly at the empty Library before her, speaking with a melancholy expression.
Having so much energy but not being able to transfer it back to the Lobotomy Corporation is undoubtedly a huge waste.
Similarly, Angela is actually quite sensitive, Red Sister's words undoubtedly hit her sore spot.
This group has a knack for hitting sore spots, almost to the point of being overly so.
"Ugh, how are we supposed to go back and bring Angela back?"
Xiao Huasheng stared blankly at the now-vanished portal, feeling utterly lost, and turned to Carmen for help.
During this time, she couldn't resist hugging and cuddling Carmen, clearly treating Carmen as a substitute for Angela.
If her brain were to run away, wouldn't she really become an idiot?
Carmen was clearly uncomfortable with Xiao Huasheng's intimate gestures, forced to accept the red-haired Angel's closeness.
Finally, a cold, calculating sentence was uttered.
"Manager, you need to understand that acting like this at Lobotomy Corporation is considered incompetent, and you'll probably be fired from your position in a few days."
"Oh! Angela, think of something!"
Xiao Huasheng, however, held Carmen and rubbed his head against her belly like a cute little kitten, showing no airs whatsoever.
Clearly, Xiao Huasheng was very fond of her because of their similar appearance.
She wouldn't do that to a stranger.
It's worth mentioning that Carmen's abdomen is incredibly tough, which is undoubtedly related to her being a robot. It's like a high-level battle between cement and steel.
"Supervisor, I already told you... you called me Carmen... never mind, I doubt you'd listen anyway. Tasks should be done by capable people; those who aren't should just step aside."
Carmen sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. This was the first time she had ever encountered such a cute yet incompetent guy who would submit to Xiao Huasheng with just one glance.
"Is this... is this saying I'm a good-for-nothing?"
"It seems you're not too stupid after all."
"Why are you like this... Angela, you're so fierce."
Xiao Huasheng gave off an easy-to-bully look; this red-haired Angel still seemed a bit dim-witted, making Carmen even consider bullying her.
Fortunately, Carmen suppressed these strange emotions and instead began to investigate how the two of them had gotten to the Library dimension.
"Hmm, there were traces of Dimensional Rift here. It seems you traveled to my world through this place."
As Carmen spoke, several cracks were clearly visible in front of her, as if they had been ripped open in space. She continued, "In this respect, it is very similar to W Company's Singularity Technology."
What is W Company's Singularity Technology?
Chapter Fourteen: Watson, Don't Run! [2 Updates]
"Their company's Singularity Technology is Dimensional Rift. I never imagined it could connect to other worlds. I guess you guys accidentally opened this door and ended up in my world."
Before Xiao Huasheng could speak, Carmen offered a solution.
"We need to widen this rift, which requires a lot of energy, and we also need to expand it across the world."
Just then, in the monitoring room, Xiao Huasheng's main field of vision, which had been in a deep sleep, changed.
One of the guys, dressed in Ultramarines armor, appeared right in front of her through a portal.
"Wait a minute, Angela, I need to take care of something first."
In front of Carmen, Xiao Huasheng vanished from the company in a flash, leaving Carmen alone, staring blankly at the empty room.
Xiao Huasheng's speed was so fast that even she couldn't react. You have to understand that Carmen was definitely a high-end combatant in her world.
At this point, Carmen, who had previously thought Xiao Huasheng was nothing more than a naive fool, began to have a new opinion of her.
This was the first time Xiao Huasheng had ever gone into hibernation for so long, a full three days, a phenomenon that was directly observed by the Foundation.
At this time, Xiao Huasheng was placed in a relatively safe place by the Foundation.
And now, right in front of her, stood a Space Marines.
At that moment, the Space Marines was watching her, contemplating how to successfully carry her back.
However, for now, this Space Marines doesn't have that problem.
"Uh, what are you doing here? Didn't the Emperor say he wouldn't bother me unnecessarily?"
Xiao Huasheng looked at the Space Marines in front of him and spoke, his eyes filled with confusion.
The Ultramarines had heard rumors about this Angel among the stars, but he was still greatly surprised to see her in person.
This was especially true when Xiao Huasheng uttered the Emperor's name, yet his face remained completely expressionless.
It was as if she wasn't the Emperor's subordinate, but rather some kind of partner.
Without a doubt, for the most devout people, Xiao Huasheng's behavior is blasphemy.
But after truly experiencing the danger of traversing the world and narrowly escaping it, this Ultramarines felt only endless admiration for the Angel before him.
"Miss Angel, the Emperor needs you, Terra needs you! The situation has reached a critical point..."
The Ultramarines knelt down and spoke to her.
Meanwhile, Xiao Huasheng's room was in complete chaos.
The air in the room seemed to freeze instantly.
The members of the Foundation's observation team paled, staring in horror at the massive, imposing figure that had suddenly appeared on the main monitoring screen.
That was no known anomaly; its heavy armor with blue and silver trim, its physique like a mobile fortress, and the gleam of the goggles scanning the environment beneath its cold helmet all proclaimed its extremely dangerous existence.
"What is that?!" A researcher's voice was shrill and distorted with terror, his finger trembling as he pointed at the screen.
The alarm was sounded without hesitation, and the highest level of intrusion alert instantly resounded throughout the relevant area.
The Foundation's response to unknown and significantly threatening anomalies is swift and ruthless.
The task force, which was stationed and waiting, was immediately and urgently summoned with clear instructions.
Head to the infirmary to suppress or control the two-meter-tall humanoid creature that suddenly appears.
Inside the containment chamber, the Ultramarines seemed completely unconcerned about the rapidly gathering armed forces outside the walls; all his attention was focused on Xiao Huasheng, who had just awakened in front of him.
He knelt on one knee, his posture respectful yet carrying an undeniable urgency.
"This situation is not a good thing; the Foundation is overreacting..." Xiao Huasheng muttered.
However, this situation is normal, since the Foundation, after being reset, was not harassed by Warhammer, nor did it send any expeditions to that world.
This was completely different from before, so Xiao Huasheng grabbed the Ultramarines's large hand.
She tugged at his hand and said, "Take me there... I'll handle it."
As Carmen mentioned earlier, she wanted to reopen the portal within the Lobotomy Corporation.
Besides requiring a large amount of energy, it also requires multiple world travels to activate.
The Emperor's arrival was like a pillow delivered to someone who was about to fall asleep, making Xiao Huasheng suspect that this guy might have planted a listening device in his own Lobotomy Corporation.
If this hadn't happened, Xiao Huasheng would most likely have ignored the Ultramarines in front of him and run away on the spot.
After all, the Emperor had broken the contract first, and she didn't want to go back to that cesspool.
As for why the Emperor could still find this place even after the Foundation World was reset.
This was beyond Xiao Huasheng's consideration; he probably had some special methods.
"Wait a moment." The Ultramarines looked at the surrounding crowd and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he took out a small box and slowly opened it.
In the blink of an eye, a teleportation portal appeared beneath their feet, sweeping them away.
Carmen, who was at the Lobotomy Corporation, also sensed something was amiss.
She could clearly feel the entire company was in turmoil.
At the same time, the crack in front of her was gradually widening, from the size of a finger to the size of a fist.
If we come a few more times, we can open the portal here again.
"This manager's efficiency is truly impressive..." Carmen murmured, surprised that the teleportation had started again so quickly.
Carmen also witnessed the situation at the Lobotomy Corporation, where the employees and department heads were very happy, and even had holidays.
This made Carmen realize the fundamental difference between Xiao Huasheng and A.
Perhaps only those who are not cursed by wisdom can have such a peaceful life.
Carmen fell into thought, and like Angela, she began to get to know the manager from scratch.
Within the Warp, after the two entered this space simultaneously.
The world around them began to spin.
Just as Xiao Huasheng and the Ultramarines were engulfed by the teleportation light and plunged into the Warp torrent, four indescribably massive wills suddenly descended.
This is the gaze of the supreme Chaos Gods of the Warhammer Universe. They sensed a pure and powerful soul from another universe intruding into their domain, and their greedy desire to seize it was instantly ignited.
This was Xiao Huasheng's second time here, and the Chaos Gods were still as enthusiastic as ever.
Especially S-Sis, she had the most energy, she almost carried Xiao Huasheng away on the spot.
