Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

Surprisingly, it gave off a feeling of being easy to bully.

……

……

And at the same time.

In the world of snakes.

Propaganda Department.

"Sister Alicia, you're really amazing." Padofilis sat in a soft chair, watching Alicia interacting with the audience not far away.

Despite having only been live-streaming for a short time, Alicia has already become a top influencer on the website.

Every time she did a live-stream sales event for World Serpent, the money she earned left her speechless, making her marvel at Alicia's personal charm.

However, she is not very envious of this, as she now has a very stable and enviable high-paying job.

The job involved doing odd jobs, specifically serving the World Serpent's Lord and occasionally pouring a glass of water for Boss Mebius.

How should I put it? It feels a bit like being kept by Mebius, or like having a pet.

Fortunately, she never overthinks things and adapts to her new life very quickly.

There wasn't much dissatisfaction.

And just then.

"Little Padre, is it really okay for you to do nothing every day like this?" Alicia walked over after finishing her live stream, and chuckled as she looked at Padre Philis, who was leaning back in her chair like an orange cat. "If this continues, you might get fired and lose your job."

"I don't want to either," Padofilis said helplessly, scratching his head. "But the boss is no longer in World Serpent, I have no work to do, and I don't know how to do other jobs."

Those who work at World Snake are generally elites with very high levels of education. As for cleaning and other tasks, they are mostly performed by semi-automated robots, so there is no need for human cleaners.

Therefore, she is currently in a very awkward position. She wants to do something, but finds that the entry threshold is a bit high.

However, she doesn't need to do low-barrier jobs, leaving her in a state of idleness.

At least that was the case until Mebius, the boss, returned.

“This is a bit troublesome.” Alicia stroked her chin and looked at Padophilia as she spoke. “Klein wants to talk to you about something, it’s about work.”

"Could it be that they're planning to fire me?" Padofilis's lips twitched, a very bad feeling creeping over her.

This time, she will likely be sent back to Twilight Street.

Unless Mebius, the boss, comes back.

“No, Little Paddo is Mebius’s pet… cough, his little follower.” Alicia coughed lightly to explain, “Unless Mebius comes back and fires you on his own initiative, no one can fire you.”

“That makes sense.” Padofilis nodded, agreeing with Alicia’s assessment.

after a while.

At the gates of the world snakes.

Padofilis stood there, pale and ashen, holding a cardboard box filled with odds and ends, remaining silent for a long time.

Then, he turned his head and glanced at the World Snake Building.

"Padre, you've been fired?" The gatekeeper looked at Padre Philis, who looked utterly dejected; she had clearly been kicked out.

However, given Dr. Mebius's current absence, his dismissal seems to be a matter of course.

While the treatment of World Snakes is certainly good, one needs sufficient ability to succeed, unlike a small-time hoodlum like Padofilis from Twilight Street.

If it weren't for Dr. Mebius's fondness for it, there would have been absolutely no chance of stepping into the World Serpent's gate.

It's even less likely that they'll get a high salary.

“…Ahaha, how should I put it?” Padofilis laughed awkwardly, “I guess…maybe I really should go back.”

"It's alright, Dr. Möbius will be back when he returns," the gatekeeper reassured him. "You'll be back at work soon."

"I hope so," Padofilis sighed, dejectedly leaving the World Serpent.

The gatekeeper shook his head. He still quite liked Pado, this lively and quick-witted little girl. If she hadn't come from that place called Twilight Street and had received a good enough education, she might have had a bright future.

However, being born in a place like Twilight Street limits the upper limit of one's life in a certain sense.

……

……

Return to the villa.

Padofilis, carrying her bag, glanced longingly at the villa before slowly walking away and disappearing at the end of the street.

I boarded the bus that took me back to Twilight Street.

Arriving at Dusk Street from the bustling metropolis, the vehicle's ride, which had been smooth, began to shake.

The environment on Huanghun Street is not as good as that of big cities. It has not been maintained for a long time, which makes the road bumpy.

It's like going back from the future to... the past.

It's the same world, yet the scenery is completely different. Not only the environment, but the people... have also changed.

"You... seem a little unhappy."

The sudden appearance of the strange sound startled Padofilis, who abruptly turned her head to look beside her.

There was a man in a suit sitting next to her; he had been sitting there at some point.

"Don't be nervous, it's not like we've met before." The man stared at Padofilis expressionlessly, his voice carrying a hint of mechanicalness, which, combined with his expressionless face, created a chilling and eerie feeling.

There's a feeling that this man is a monster in human skin.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Paddy swallowed, feeling extremely nervous. The man looked at the nervous Paddy Philis expressionlessly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"The shadow of the snake is everywhere."

"It's you!" Padofilis immediately tensed up. She knew who the other person was, but when did they develop a human face and become so well-dressed that she almost didn't recognize them.

“Snakes are everywhere,” the gray snake replied. “Do you understand what you have to do?”

"Ah, I think I understand." Padofilis nodded somewhat hesitantly. She hadn't been fired by the World Serpent; Klein had simply found her a job and asked her to find two people.

No, more accurately, it's about getting to know two people, gaining their trust, and making it easier for the World Serpent to negotiate with them later.

Chapter 78

The human body is amazing.

"..."

Padofilis got off the bus and glanced back at the gray snake on the bus. The snake was very magical, able to appear in any unexpected place, like a snake hiding in the shadows.

Dangerous, yet difficult to detect.

"I'm back again." She seemed to be saying to herself, or perhaps to the twilight street.

The environment here is not good. There is litter everywhere on the ground, messy advertisements and graffiti on the walls, thin children running around on the road, and old people squatting at their doorways.

There is little hope here; it seems to encapsulate all the dark sides of society. An unseen hand is dragging everyone down, making it impossible for anyone to escape Twilight Street.

However, if he were the owner, he could definitely save Twilight Street and help the people here reintegrate into society.

(…What am I thinking?) Padophilia raised her hand and patted her face lightly before walking into the crowd. She didn’t know why she had such a strange thought, or perhaps it was because Möbius was just too omnipotent.

However, even if the boss has the ability, he probably won't save Twilight Street, because there are too many backward and unfortunate places in this world.

We can't expect Möbius to save everything.

Moreover, according to Alicia, Mebius has actually done his best to help many people, whether it's with inexpensive drugs or various transparent charities.

We have done everything we could.

However, it's strange that despite doing so many good things, Mebius receives such poor reviews online and in the public eye.

Such a negative view.

……

……

Some time later, near a nursing home.

Padofelis easily found her target, a strong young man with gray hair, but the communication process was a little complicated, as the other party seemed to be difficult to talk to.

"Get lost, you scheming bastard!" The irritable man, carrying a heavy bag, succinctly expressed his thoughts to Padofilis.

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a strange fellow. Before, he'd met a green-haired woman who not only drew several vials of his blood and conducted various bizarre experiments on him, but who continued to subtly influence his life afterward.

"..." Padofilis opened her mouth, looking at the irritable man's back. She felt that if she continued to pester him, she would easily be beaten up. They had only exchanged a few words.

However, the other party succinctly expressed that they did not want to be friends with him.

Is your temper a bit too volatile?

After a moment of silence, she decided to find a nun who was easier to talk to; at least, she wouldn't have to worry about being beaten up.
