Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Muirsey pressed her fingers lightly to the corner of her mouth and made a smiling face at the mirror, but she really didn't mean to smile, so the smile looked very ugly.

She had to confront her own feelings. There was no denying that she still loved the Doctor, and that love hadn't changed even months after his death.

"I want to see him and ask him the questions I need to ask."

Muirsey knew exactly what to do next, but deep down he was still filled with hesitation.

Should I also assume that I have a friend?

The water sprite remembered running into that person in the jewelry store. He had such a stubborn look on his face, but who couldn't see through his lame excuses?

Thinking of this, the girl patted her face.

When did she become so timid and cowardly?

After learning that the wood elves were not her kind?

Did he abandon her from Christen and fly alone into the starry sky?

Or should we start from the day the PhD left?

71. Facing Muirsay

Mike returned to the government building and saw Holhaya enjoying the breeze downstairs. Feathered Serpent also noticed the man's arrival.

"Have you figured out how to face the little elf?"

You guessed right.

Mike sighed silently. He couldn't underestimate the Colombian double agent; perhaps the other party had seen through his intentions.

"I don't know where she is, or rather, she could appear at any time."

Water is inherently pervasive, hence the saying "it moistens things silently," and water spirits can be found anywhere there is water.

The feathered serpent narrowed her eyes; when she made this expression, it meant she had already made up her mind.

"You don't need to worry too much. Muirsey is a person who cares about her reputation. I can use some underhanded methods to help you force her out..."

Mike quickly shook his head. He was already overwhelmed by this matter, and if Holhaya added to his troubles, he wouldn't be able to get by.

He pulled Feathered Serpent's arm and walked into the government building, warning as they went, "Don't do anything reckless. You and I both know Miu Miu's behavior and habits. She might fight me to the death."

In fact, Mike was absolutely right. Muirsay is like a powder keg right now, ready to explode at the slightest spark.

However, from another perspective, as long as the explosive itself is soaked in water, it will become something as hard as rock.

Holhaya immediately commented: "Living like this must be exhausting."

McMurder.

You're right, I felt very tired from the beginning, but it was all worth it.

In the past, everyone would only fight for one position, but now no one cares anymore, as if this would achieve the ending of a fairy tale.

“You know I don’t care about these things.”

The feathered serpent whispered something as she walked beside Mike, but Mike found her to be a complete stranger for the first time.

“I’ve already said that my racial characteristics limit my lifespan to 42 years. I will not be able to accompany you for the rest of your life… So there’s no point in me caring about those things. But don’t even think about getting rid of me. I have already engraved your information into my bloodline. No matter how many years pass, the Feathered Serpent Clan will haunt you.”

Mike burst out laughing: "Ha, what a vicious curse!"

Is this a curse or a blessing?

Holhaia's large tail swayed and gently patted the man's back.

Her devilish words came again: "I'll leave the door open for you again tonight."

Mike: "!!"

This woman is insane!

No, Mike, you absolutely cannot fall so low, absolutely not!

……

The next day.

Everything proceeded smoothly and according to plan.

Having done thorough preparation, Muirsey decided to confront the man now; she had already learned the details from another Rhine Life employee.

Dr. An possesses a special ability to freely change his physical form. To be precise, the thin Dr. An who appeared before the operators was his teenage years, while the current Mike is a young adult...

The water sprite had a new guess in her mind: would he appear in the future, even when he was old?

In any case, we'll have to wait until we meet to discuss it further.

Then, a letter of inquiry from Rhine Life was delivered to Mike's desk.

The man's first reaction was that trouble was brewing.

"It's a blessing in disguise, not a curse. Miao Miao loves me so much, how could she bear to see me get hurt?"

Mike decided to be honest with everyone, but not completely honest; he had to be strategic.

Currently, he is the acting supervisor of the headquarters, with the background of the Melland Foundation, which is theoretically one level higher than Rhine Life. He can just stay in the office and wait.

Soon, news of Muirsey's impending arrival reached all team members, and everyone tacitly put aside their work to ensure that there would be time to rescue the injured in case of any problems.

As it turns out, spending a lot of time with fun-loving operators can even turn serious powerhouses like Grandmasters into fun-loving individuals, let alone Phantom, who has already become somewhat of a comedian.

If someone in the team might ultimately betray them.

Mike estimated that this choice would fall to Astro.

Dumb Feather Magellan joined after they entered the base camp and didn't know much about the specifics, but Starry Sky was different; Blue Liberi had participated in at least most of the journey.

So everyone's waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

In fact, Mike believes that he is usually a funny person, but one day a funny person becomes a joke, and that is no longer a joke.

He sighed, looked down at his watch, and calculated the time. Muirsey would be arriving soon. How should he begin his opening remarks?

As Mike was lost in thought, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Surprisingly, perhaps because he was distracted, he didn't hear the other person's footsteps.

A girl wearing thick winter clothes appeared in front of him, and every step she took closer made him feel terrified.

She has lost weight.

Her chubby little face, which was already a bit babyish, became even more pointed.

This will only lead to greater errors when guessing her age.

Muirsey is still a little girl.

Although she is already an adult in terms of human physiology on Terra.

Sometimes Mike even wonders if he'll get arrested by Chen Huijie if he tries to date the water sprite.

"Hello, I am Muirsey, the head of the Rhine Life Support Team. This is my business card, and there is also a letter from Commander Seria for you."

Muirsey calmly took a business card from her bag and handed it to Mike with both hands. She then took out a letter with the Rhine Life logo and placed it next to the business card.

Mike's heart skipped a beat.

So unremarkable, could it be that Muirsay didn't guess who he was?

That's impossible; the Rhine Lab operators in the team will definitely tell Muirsey the truth.

So what is the water sprite planning to do?

The more calm and composed she appeared, the more nervous he became.

Actually, Mike was only half right. A Rhine Lab operator did inform Muirsey of the situation, but it was Horhyah who leaked his information.

As the man took the business card and examined it closely, as if recognizing the name for the first time, Muirsey's heart began to pound.

She recognized the person.

They met yesterday at the jewelry store in the base camp.

No, no.

I can't think about this anymore.

Muirsey forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart, because she discovered that after their conversation yesterday, they had even come up with her own identity and helped her win her over.

What the hell.

Why didn't you ask Xingji for a picture of Mike beforehand? It would have been better than just staring at each other like this now.

Careless.

On the other side, Mike felt a pang of guilt for a moment, then accepted the business card with a friendly smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Muirseth."

"You, you too."

The water sprite found herself stammering and almost unable to speak.

This is not a good sign.

Muirsey was nervous, and so was Mike.

He picked up the letter Saria had given him, but failed to open it several times. Finally, with wide eyes, he took out a fruit knife used for peeling apples from the drawer and managed to open the envelope.

He could only tell himself that there was nothing he could do because his hands were shaking too much in the cold weather.

Such a comical scene even made Muirsays smile.

They're evenly matched.

As Mike unfolded the letter, he asked, "Has anything changed since Saria became the commander-in-chief? Is she still as stubborn as before?"

This wasn't a conversation between Mike and Muirsey.

The water sprite suddenly realized that after Mike's two sentences, he directly confronted her and revealed his identity, which was clearly a sign that he was taking the initiative to attack.

"Fortunately, Saria hasn't changed much. Luckily, Himer is there as her assistant."

As Muirsey spoke, she couldn't help but recall the scene from her memory: after Christen launched herself into the sky, Saria took over Rhine Lab, and she could see her and Himer joining the team almost every day.

To outsiders, this was a sign that they had a good relationship.
