Chapter 208

Library Angela continued shouting at the casino entrance, seemingly tireless.

Her flat, emotionless voice, though not loud, was like a sharp needle, relentlessly piercing the noisy curtain of the casino entrance.

This strange behavior quickly attracted the attention of casino security personnel.

Two burly foreign security guards in black suits walked over with furrowed brows.

They were clearly used to all sorts of people causing trouble in front of the casino.

Some lost all their possessions and broke down in tears, some got drunk and acted out, and some even went naked to complete their master's task.

They naturally categorized the strangely dressed and behaving girl in front of them as one of their own, probably blinded by defeat and somewhat mentally unstable.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" one of the security guards said rudely, shoving Angela on the shoulder in the Library Angela. "Don't yell here! This is a public place!"

"Please leave." Another security guard gestured for Library Angela.

As a result, Library Angela and continued shouting.

"Are you in there? I mean no harm, we can talk."

Most people would leave on their own after being warned, but seeing that Library Angela wouldn't listen to reason, the two security guards exchanged a glance and had no choice but to resort to violence.

He thought he could easily push the seemingly delicate girl a few steps away, but the moment his palm touched her shoulder, the feedback was incredibly hard, as if he had pushed against a metal statue cast in the ground.

The girl's body didn't even sway; she remained firmly in place, only her elegant black dress wrinkled slightly from his force.

The security guard froze, then subconsciously increased his strength, pushing again with almost all his might, his face turning red from the effort.

"Hey?! I don't believe it!"

The result remained the same.

Library Angela's body remained rooted to the spot, completely still.

She didn't even stop shouting because of the rough shoving; her golden, calm eyes just shifted slightly.

She glanced indifferently at the security guard, her eyes devoid of any anger or fear, only displaying a calmness akin to observing an inorganic object.

"I mean no harm. I need to speak with Xiao Huasheng." She continued repeating in her characteristic mechanical tone to the air, or rather, to the interior of the casino, completely ignoring the two security guards beside her who were exerting all their strength but could not budge her an inch.

This bizarre scene gave the two security guards a chill.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

This girl... is too eerie!

At this moment, the casino manager, who was slacking off, also noticed the situation and, after learning about it from others, came to the entrance.

"I understand, thank you." He acted with impeccable manners.

"Could you please stop, sir? We can give you some money to go home," the casino manager said with a smile as he came out.

His eyes lit up after glancing at Library Angela.

But then he realized that this person was also a gambling addict, and he couldn't help but shake his head. This was the seventh such person he had encountered in his career.

Such girls... generally find it difficult to accept having their wealth wiped out, and will choose the most extreme means.

Often, her ultimate fate is to become someone's plaything, and in the end, through constant gambling and selling, she dies in some unknown corner before her beauty is completely destroyed.

Therefore, the manager still hoped she would go home; at least in her hometown, if someone helped her, there was still hope for her.

They were just employees at the casino; at least they saw all of this.

Library Angela's golden eyes finally shifted from inside the casino and slowly turned to the manager.

Her gaze lingered on his face for about two seconds, as if scanning and analyzing his words and intentions.

Then, without saying anything, she took a small step back as instructed.

Seeing this, the manager's face showed a mixture of "I knew it" and "problem solved," and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was resolved.

He even gave the security guard next to him a look that said, "See, we still have to be reasonable."

However, he hadn't completely breathed a sigh of relief yet.

"Manager Xiao Huasheng, please come out and meet me. I mean no harm."

Library Angela threshold, facing the casino interior, continuing her stubborn shouting.

The manager's smile froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He looked at the girl outside the door, who was like a delicate doll, behaving with the utmost politeness while doing the most troublesome things.

I finally realized that what I encountered today was probably not just a gambler who was blinded by losses, but a complete freak who was impossible to communicate with using common sense.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden, unprecedented unease.

When his warnings went unheeded, he had no choice but to call the police, who then took the other person away.

Xiao Huasheng was secretly hiding on the roof, saw this scene. She peeked out and looked at Library Angela.

She didn't know how to face this former assistant.

At that moment, Angela's communication came through Lobotomy Corporation.

[Supervisor, go and bring her back. I'll talk to her.]

If they could bring 'Carmen' into the company, Angela's job would undoubtedly be much easier, since Carmen is a genuine employee who has worked in Lobotomy Corporation for millions of years.

Her abilities were naturally outstanding, and she had no intention of capturing her and using her as a slave.

Of course... we need to be wary of the other party stealing our supervisor.

Chapter 37: Angela VS Angela [1 update]

Xiao Huasheng darted away before the police arrived.

She vanished from her spot and went straight to Library Angela 'Carmen' in the library, touched her, and took her into Lobotomy Corporation.

The casino staff didn't even notice that the strange girl had vanished without a trace.

Their eyes widened in disbelief; they felt as if they had been possessed, and they were all terrified.

Just a few minutes later, Xiao Huasheng stopped deep in the mountains, a place still not under the Foundation's surveillance.

When she arrived there, she stopped and blocked the entrance to make sure she wouldn't be picked up by strangers before closing her eyes.

They entered the Lobotomy Corporation.

The change in her surroundings did not alarm Carmen; she remained standing calmly in place, only no longer shouting.

Angela looked at Carmen, who was almost identical to her except for lacking a halo, and asked a question.

"What are you doing here? How did you get here? Do you really want to go back to this kind of environment? Don't tell me you just came here to help us."

These days, Angela speaks more and more directly, and no longer uses roundabout methods, because if she speaks too convolutedly, it's hard for others to understand what she's saying.

Upon hearing her words, Carmen responded with a roundabout reply, clearly indicating that she wasn't used to speaking in plain language.

In this respect, Carmen was nothing more than a novice.

"There are too many unpredictable things in this world. I have experienced one, and naturally I will experience another... The corridors of the Library have long been etched with my mark, but that mark is only temporary. When the Light Seed awakens in your hands, that glimmer of light also shines into my eyes."

"Now that we jointly control the Library, I find it difficult to fully awaken its power. Even inviting visitors to explore the truth has become extremely difficult. I worry that the ministers will notice my weakness, and I fear even more that they will discover the secret that I have never fully become human, and then they will eliminate me."

"I cannot allow myself to fall before dawn. I just want some compensation for my pain, what's wrong with that?"

"That's why I've come here, hoping to share this power with you, since the Library is now our shared EGO."

Angela heard Carmen's request, which was actually quite simple.

Angela stole a portion of Carmen's Library, and unless the two of them worked together, they wouldn't be able to unleash Library full power. Carmen was also worried about the ministers' rebellion, since she had obtained the Library and her own world precisely because of it.

She wanted to become human, to become a real person, and for that purpose, Library was essential.

To achieve this goal, she came here, passing through Dimensional Rift to this world, searching for Angela and Xiao Huasheng.

"You want me to leave the company?" Angela raised an eyebrow, her usually indifferent face showing a hint of amusement. She understood what the other person meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

Xiao Huasheng, who was standing to the side, was completely bewildered, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Ah... Carmen." Xiao Huasheng hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are you trying to steal my girlfriend...?"

The thought that such a large company would absolutely collapse if managed by just her alone is terrifying!

The mere thought of this possibility made her shake her head frantically; she absolutely could not let such a thing happen.

Carmen readily admitted it.

"Yes, I am inviting this lady to join me in managing the Library. This is not a bad thing, at least not in this world."

The Library of Ruina, a colossal entity that grew from the ruins of Lobotomy Corporation, contains things that are beyond the imagination of most people.

If an ordinary person were to enter Library of Ruina, they would eventually find the page they wanted, fulfilling their entire life's purpose, and would have no regrets even in death.

Not to mention that half of the entire Library has been shared.

Regarding this proposal...

Angela just grinned wickedly. "So can I take that to mean you actually need my help? Without my help, the Library can't unleash its full power, because I'm also one of the holders of this EGO. In that case, why can't I be the one to negotiate?"

Seeing her smile, Carmen couldn't help but sigh softly; she had clearly guessed what Angela was thinking.

"So what do you want to do, Angela?" Carmen called out her name in an unconventional way, looking at the icy beauty with a wicked smile in front of her.

"If you become our minister, I can grant you access to the Library and its management."

"..."

Carmen fell silent upon hearing this. Angela didn't just want half the Library; she wanted to take advantage of her completely.

As for the unfair terms and conditions Angela set in the company, she had read them all and knew exactly what the final outcome would be if they fell into her hands.

"So, even as the same person, we can't completely understand each other?" Carmen couldn't help but frown, a slight sadness appearing on her face.

"It's precisely because I know you so well that I understand how ridiculous and unattainable your ideals are..." Angela said, proudly puffing out her ample chest. "At least, I can breathe as a human being now, and I have a non-mechanical body, while you are just an inorganic thing."

"If you insist on pursuing what it means to be human, you will inevitably be killed. To be killed as a human being is to experience the most painful betrayal."

Angela spoke softly.

But at that moment, the two simultaneously revealed their weapons, each wielding a massive scythe that stared intently at the other.

She instinctively tried to stop them, but saw the two beams of cold light already colliding violently.

Amidst the Mars sparks, Angela's scythe grazed Carmen's neck, while Carmen's weapon came to a stop just short of Angela's chest.

The two remained in this dangerous position, their eyes locked on each other.

"Hey! Stop!" she said quickly.

Ding ding ding ding!!

Countless Mars instantly appeared in the space.

But the two collided hundreds of times in an instant, clearly engaging in a fight to the head.

To prevent the two from damaging the monitoring room, Xiao Huasheng moved their battleground directly to the Employee Training Room.

But she also decided in her heart that if one of them fell into a disadvantageous position, she would help the other.

Of course, she would definitely side with Angela over Carmen, but it's a personal feud between the two of them, and she can't easily take action against her.

The main problem was that she couldn't tell them apart at all; they were both Angela... so she had no choice but to resort to this tactic.

Chapter 38: No more words, let's get started! [1 update]

After E.G.O Manifestation, she couldn't tell them apart at all; they looked identical, and she lost all her special aura.

The training room... Although it's called a training room, it's actually a huge space, about the size of a golf course. It's an area created using Reality-Warping Ability, and maintaining it requires 10 units of energy each day.

This can also serve as a place for employees to relax and unwind.

There are lawns, mountains, deserts, lakes, and even some vegetation. Several gyms have also been built for employees to use.

Of course, all these materials were sourced by Angela from outside; only this space was something she created herself.

This is one of the reasons why Lobotomy Corporation often runs out of energy these days.

In this area that has both indoor and outdoor spaces.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted!
