As she spoke, she prepared to walk towards the door, but was suddenly pulled back by someone.
"Captain, you're going to pick up Xiaoyue?" Messiah's eyes widened in confusion. "She...she needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation!"
Lu Zhao smiled and patted her shoulder: "I know, our Spirit Management Bureau's logistics department also has a medical room. I can bring her here and leave her here. It's the same and can ensure her safety. You don't have to work so hard to watch over her every day."
"I'm fine!" Messiah exclaimed dramatically, refusing to let go of Lu Zhao's hand. "Captain! I'm going to the hospital right now, you don't need to come, really!"
Anyone with a sound mind could tell from this reaction that something must have happened.
Lu Zhao's smile gradually faded, and he removed his hand from Messiah's shoulder. He looked at her quietly, a hint of fiery red flashing in his dark eyes. "What's wrong, Xiaoyue?"
Her tone was calm, yet it sent chills down Messiah's spine.
Having worked with Lu Zhao for many years, she naturally knew very well that this was a sign that her captain was about to lose his temper.
"Captain, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but this..."
Just as Messiah was about to tell the truth with a conflicted expression, a clear female voice came from behind: "Ah Zhao, Xiao Yue has gone to the countryside now."
Lu Zhao was taken aback, turning to look at the newcomer, his mind a little muddled: "Xiao Fei? You just said..."
“Xiaoyue went to the countryside,” Xia Zhifei walked over hurriedly and pulled Messiah behind him. “Because the adoption procedures require the signature of a direct relative, it would be fine if Xiaoyue didn’t have a direct relative, but she has a grandmother, so her consent is required.”
That makes sense.
But Lu Zhao still had some complaints, "Why didn't you tell me? Also, isn't it a bit too dangerous to let Xiaoyue go alone?"
Xia Zhifei couldn't help but punch her lightly. "What are you thinking! We need to apply in advance to leave Yongling City. I asked my family to help take her there. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry and disagree with her going."
That's true. Registered spirits, especially those working at the Spirit Management Bureau, must report in advance before leaving their homes. Leaving without permission will result in severe penalties.
After figuring it out, Lu Zhao smiled sheepishly, "So that's how it is."
"What else did you think!" Xia Zhifei pushed the person back into the elevator with a straight face, then turned around and winked at Messiah, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Messiah: Little Fei is so strong!
Chapter Thirty-Seven: There's Really Something Wrong with His Brain
Back on the second floor of the operations department, the three found a booth and sat down.
It has to be said that every time Lu Zhao came to the second floor, he felt like he had entered a shopping mall or a teahouse. There was no office atmosphere at all, and it was completely different from the monitoring department, which was clearly a place for 996 workaholics.
Actually, this is because the operations department is mostly out on business, and apart from writing reports, there is not much time to hold meetings here.
The entire second floor is mostly covered by a simulated environment, part of which is a leisure area, and the innermost part has two offices for the two teams to hold short meetings occasionally.
"Xiaoyue has only been gone a short time, she probably won't be back for another half a month." Xia Zhifei made himself a cup of coffee and began to talk nonsense with a straight face.
Li Manqiu even made her tell the truth, she really loves to watch the show and isn't afraid that if Lu Zhao gets angry, he might lose control and burn this place down again.
Believing she knew Qingmei well enough, Xia Zhifei said she would never do something so stupid as to reveal their verbal agreement.
Lu Zhao said "Oh". Now that Xiaoyue has gone to the countryside to visit relatives, she doesn't need to worry for the time being. All that's left is to study the connection between the four incidents and wait for the female protagonist to appear.
“By the way,” she said casually, taking a sip of her tea, as if she had just thought of it, and asked nonchalantly, “I’ve been dreaming about that bomber a lot these past few days.”
Messiah straightened his back nervously. "The bomber? Wasn't that guy shot dead on the spot, Captain?"
Good heavens, the original owner of this body even killed someone!
Lu Zhao was so shocked that he almost couldn't say what he was going to say next.
"Cough! Cough cough..." She coughed a few times, her face flushed, covering her mouth. After a while, she recovered and looked worried again. "Yeah, it's probably because that guy is too fierce."
"Huh?" Messiah scratched his face, puzzled. "That guy might be a bit crazy, but he's also quite handsome. Captain, you're still scared?"
Xia Zhifei slapped her hand protectively, "So what if he's handsome? That guy was carrying a child and charging into a crowd. Anyone would be traumatized in that situation! A-Zhao isn't a god. So what if he has nightmares!"
While listening to their conversation without showing any emotion, Lu Zhao compared these statements with the files he had just seen and the remaining memories in his mind. In just a few words, he gradually pieced together the general outline of the incident.
The incident happened nearly twenty days ago. She vaguely remembered that it was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky. The original owner of this body was on vacation and was preparing to go shopping with Xia Zhifei.
Who would have thought that, by sheer coincidence, they would run into a bomber on the commercial street.
"Oh right," she couldn't help but ask, her memory still a bit hazy, "what was that prisoner's name again?"
Messiah chuckled, "Captain, you really have a bad memory. You even forgot the prisoner's name. His name is Kong Minghao, and he's a senior in college. He said that he failed his postgraduate entrance exam, awakened as a spirit, and was rejected by the company he had already been in talks with. He didn't manage the pressure in time, so it all exploded."
Oh...yes, it's Kong Minghao.
With her reminder, Lu Zhao's memory became clearer, and he finally had some impression of the outline of that crazy young man.
Messiah is right. The other person is indeed a handsome man. He is wearing a white shirt and is not particularly strong, but he is well-proportioned, tall and thin. He looks like someone who exercises regularly at school.
But when she saw that person, all she saw was his hideous and distorted face.
If such a person did not become a member of the Spirit Race, he should have a bright future. Why would he stoop to kidnapping children in broad daylight by strapping explosives to his body in a shopping street?
Kong Minghao, 22 years old, awakened as a D-level spirit shortly before graduation, with his spiritual energy being electricity.
Even awakening is the lowest level.
The D-level Eldar are basically incapable of combat. When fighting, they can only rely on their own strength; their electricity can at most paralyze someone.
This type of spirit race is often the most bullied, because their psychic energy is not enough to intimidate others, and they also suffer discrimination from ordinary people.
Lu Zhao remembered that when he was holding the crying girl and yelling at everyone not to come near him, he roared out, "I have nowhere else to turn."
He's already an adult, his psionic abilities will stop growing, and he'll be stuck at the very bottom of the Eldar race for life. Because of his status, he's been rejected by many companies, and he failed his postgraduate entrance exam...
Under these circumstances, he chose the most extreme method.
A flash of lightning and a curtain of fire crossed his mind, and Lu Zhao frowned. He looked up at the two people in front of him and saw that they were also staring at him. He subconsciously touched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no!"
The two waved their hands in unison, then looked at each other and awkwardly turned away.
“Captain…” Messiah hesitated before speaking.
Lu Zhao glanced at her sideways: "Speak your mind."
"Actually, what I wanted to say was..." she began cautiously, "You seem to be spacing out a lot lately."
daze?
Lu Zhao opened his eyes wide innocently and turned to look at Xia Zhifei: "Have I been spacing out a lot lately?"
"Indeed." The young lady nodded with a worried look and took her arm. "Ah Zhao, are you still recovering from your previous injury? Is that why you're not feeling well?"
This……
She nervously licked her lips, her gaze shifting between the two girls in front of her who wore the same worried expressions for a moment. After making up her mind, she slowly said, "Actually, I do have a problem."
"What's the problem!" Xia Zhifei exclaimed in surprise, and quickly grabbed her arm.
Messiah also leaned forward, tense.
Lu Zhao raised his other hand and pointed to his head: "There's something wrong here. I'm starting to forget some things."
Through her observations over the past few days, she has determined that the people here do not take time travel seriously, and they generally do not associate the word "time travel" with themselves.
Since that's the case, it's better to use amnesia as an excuse to cover up your abnormality.
Just then, she remembered something else: Kong Minghao had threatened everyone not to run away, and after a team of others arrived at the scene, he smiled and used his own spark of electricity to detonate the bomb.
The original owner rushed over and saved the child at the very moment the fuse was about to burn out, and then used white flames to create a barrier, thus saving the lives of everyone present.
However, even the best-laid plans can go awry. A fragment of the bomb broke through the barrier, piercing her left shoulder and causing her to fall to the ground on the back of her head, whereupon she lost consciousness.
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Eighth Character
"After examination, it was found that Captain Lu did have a small amount of blood stasis in her brain, which may have affected the cerebral cortex and caused her memory to become blurred."
Lying in the medical pod, silently listening to the assessment from the pleasant female voice above him, Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel ashamed.
I never imagined that a random rant I made would come true.
However, if this deputy head of the logistics department is as skilled in medicine as she is in appearance, then it's almost certain why I only inherited a portion of the original owner's memories.
The medical pod door slowly opened, and she sat up inside. Turning to look at the woman in the white coat who appeared to be a few years older than herself, she nodded politely: "Thank you, Minister Liu."
Liu Qingluo nodded in response, "It was our mistake not to have detected this before."
Previously, after Lu Zhao mentioned that his memory was starting to fade, Xia Zhifei and Messiah dragged him to the logistics department's territory and specifically sought out Minister Liu for help with his diagnosis.
It is said that the other party is a top student from a medical university, and his abilities after awakening his psychic powers are extremely strong, which is why he became the vice minister at the age of twenty-six.
Don't mention Chi Ying; there aren't many people left who work as hard as that guy.
However, for Lu Zhao, this seemingly approachable and beautiful woman had another identity.
The eighth romanceable character, and also the last one in the entire Light Route.
She hadn't seen the other party before and wondered if her memory was playing tricks on her. But now it seemed that it was because Minister Liu Qingluo usually stayed underground and wouldn't come out unless it was a major event, which was why she hadn't seen her before.
So far, she has met all eight potential romantic partners: five from the Operations Department, one from the Monitoring Department, one from the Logistics Department, and one from the Technology Department. The only one left is the one currently in the villainous organization.
It must be said that the art team of the game "Lingyu" put a lot of effort into it. Even though the character designs are presented as three-dimensional figures, they do not feel out of place at all. In fact, they are even more exquisite and outstanding.
From his current body to the other potential lovers, they are all beauties with unique characteristics, making Lu Zhao sometimes feel that being able to enjoy their beauty every day wouldn't be a bad choice.
Compared to the other characters, Liu Qingluo is more approachable, making people feel an immediate sense of goodwill and a desire to get closer to her.
Lu Zhao guessed that this was probably related to the other party's psychic abilities. He had heard that her psychic abilities were not related to medicine, but few people knew exactly what they were.
After all, Liu Qingluo has always been low-key and rarely gets into fights. Her personal files are also quite private, so she definitely wouldn't be able to see them with her limited access.
"Sister Liu, how should this illness be treated? Does it require medication, IV drips, or surgery?" Xia Zhifei asked anxiously as she stepped forward.
Liu Qingluo raised her hand to adjust her gold-rimmed glasses and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, Captain Lu's brain hemorrhage is not much, and it has not coagulated into a blood clot. Her constitution has always been good, and she has no other clinical symptoms at the moment. So at this stage, I will prescribe some medicine to relax muscles and promote blood circulation, so that the hematoma will gradually subside."
Hearing her say that, Xia Zhifei finally felt relieved and hesitantly asked, "Then... how long will this take?"
“About a month,” she smiled, glancing meaningfully at Lu Zhao, “provided the patient takes their medication on time, otherwise even the best doctor can’t cure the disease.”
amount……
Lu Zhao awkwardly touched his nose. He seemed to recall a few times when the original owner of this body would skip taking her medicine in order to complete a mission.
"Don't worry!" Xia Zhifei immediately assured her, "With us supervising, we'll make sure she takes her medicine on time!"
"That's good," Liu Qingluo nodded with a smile, turned around and wrote a prescription on the table in a flourish, then handed it to Lu Zhao. "Take the medicine on time according to the schedule, and come to me for a check-up every three days."
