My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Okay, that option is out.

She couldn't possibly go and die like in a game to see if she could summon the game system. If she could, that would be fine, but if not, she would have to give up her life here.

Since that's not the meaning, the letters engraved on a certain ornament are usually the initials of someone's name.

Lu Zhao silently recited the names of everyone he had encountered since his transmigration, but he couldn't find anyone who corresponded to SL. He then tried to recall the names of people from that other world, but still came up empty-handed.

Could it be that the original owner knew someone whose name was abbreviated as SL, but he just hadn't developed that part of his memory yet?

The more Lu Zhao thought about it, the more likely this seemed.

She had just searched through all the shopping apps on her phone and did find the original owner's browsing history for a jade shop, but there was no mention of any relevant personnel.

Because it was custom-made, it took almost 20 days to reach her.

Even so, it can be basically confirmed that the original owner did know such a person, and even went so far as to make a pendant for this person, so it should not be an ordinary relationship.

In that case, Xia Zhifei might have some clues.

She immediately got up, thought for a moment, and decided not to bring the pendant with her. Instead, she hid it in the bedside table before leaving the bedroom to find Xia Zhifei.

At that time, the young lady was still preparing new medicine. As soon as she saw Lu Zhao come down, she quickly said, "I just finished preparing the medicine prescribed by Sister Liu. Come and try it!"

amount……

Lu Zhao glanced at the dark liquid in the measuring cup, then sat down with a strange expression and took a closer sniff. "This smells really weird."

"I didn't ask you to drink it!" Without saying a word, Xia Zhifei turned Lu Zhao around, clipped his hair up with a clip, and began to carefully apply the medicine.

Feeling a cool sensation on the back of his head, Lu Zhao gazed in the direction of her kitchen, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, do we know any friends whose names begin with the initials SL?"

“SL?” Xia Zhifei frowned and thought for a while. “No, but Sister Song’s initials are SLG!”

SL, SLG...

Hearing her say that, Lu Zhao suddenly felt it was necessary to ask the shop if they had missed engraving a letter.

If it really is Song Lingge, doesn't that mean... the original owner of this body has feelings for her?

Chapter 48: Character Inconsistency Warning!

really?

If the original owner of this body had feelings for Song Lingge, she should have had a different reaction when she saw Song Lingge.

But the truth is, she only felt a little uncomfortable with Song Lingge's gentleness; nothing more.

"Why did you suddenly ask this today?" Xia Zhifei asked as she finished applying the medicine and tidied up the medicine bottle. "Nothing, I just saw online that people whose initials are this abbreviation will become rich in the future." Lu Zhao said with a straight face, making up nonsense. "If we have such a person around us, we can try to get on their good side in advance."

Xia Zhifei almost choked on his saliva and couldn't help but pat her on the back. "How could such a thing be? If it were true, how many people across the country would have to change their names! Stop reading such strange things!"

"Yeah, I just asked casually, I didn't take it seriously."

Having finally managed to fool everyone, Lu Zhao secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. Just as he was about to take the clip off his head, Xia Zhifei slapped his hand away.

"Don't put it in yet, wait until the medicine dries!"

Has the dignified and elegant young lady in public begun to evolve into a powerful and domineering empress at home?

Lu Zhao reluctantly touched his still slightly sore hand, quickly responded a few times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Zhifei enter the bathroom. He then relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling.

Then came the young lady's furious roar: "Lu Zhao! Don't lift your head! The medicine is all over the sofa!"

Startled, she jumped up from the sofa, looked back, and only relaxed after confirming that there were no strange colors on it.

Goodness, did Xia Zhifei install surveillance cameras at home? He can predict her movements even before she comes out.

Still shaken, Lu Zhao reached for the toilet and peeked inside. Seeing Xia Zhifei still washing medicine bottles, he quickly slipped back to his room.

Being around Xia Zhifei, who knows the original owner of this body so well, every day, she's afraid that she'll be exposed one day.

Tomorrow she'll have to go back to work and be a corporate slave again. When facing Song Lingge, she'll have to observe her carefully. Maybe she missed some information, which is why she didn't trigger the original owner's memories?

She couldn't resist pulling open the bedside table and examining the jade pendant closely under the bedside lamp.

She used to enjoy flipping through fashion magazines. Although this jade pendant doesn't look particularly special on the outside, with only the letters SL engraved on the back, it feels warm and smooth to the touch, so it's probably quite valuable.

According to the conversation between Lu Zhao and the shop owner in the software, the jade actually belonged to Lu Zhao himself. He only sent it over to have two letters engraved on it.

Although it was indeed a bit odd to have English letters engraved on the jade pendant, it was the owner's choice, so Lu Zhao couldn't really comment on it. He could only carefully put it in the box and keep it safe.

I hid the box and checked the time; it was just past nine o'clock.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but scratch his head. Just as he was about to cheer himself up and go to the living room to watch TV for a while to pass the time, his phone rang.

At such an awkward time, who would call?

"Hello." He answered the phone casually.

A familiar, cold female voice came from the other end: "It's me."

Lu Zhao was startled. He picked up the phone and glanced at the unfamiliar number displayed on it. Good heavens, it turned out that the original owner of this body hadn't even saved Li Manqiu's number. They were colleagues who had worked together for several years. Why bother?

"Uh! Excuse me..." she quickly replied, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Manqiu said, "I heard about what happened tonight. Thank you for saving my team member."

So that's what it was all about.

Lu Zhao unconsciously curled his lips, his mood brightening considerably. He leaned against the windowsill, gazing at the night outside. "After all, we're colleagues. I can't just stand by and watch them die. By the way, how badly are they injured? The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to check in detail."

"Overall, it's not good. The most serious one broke three ribs, and the others have some external injuries and need to rest for a few days," Li Manqiu said in a cold tone, clearly mixed with some worry. "But it's okay, your team will be back from vacation tomorrow, so it's not a big problem."

Indeed, if they keep taking these breaks, even the second team won't be able to keep up.

She scratched her face a little awkwardly, and was about to make some polite remarks before hanging up when she heard the other end continue, "I heard your team is recruiting recently. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Lu Zhao's eyes lit up. Judging from her interactions with Li Manqiu over this period of time, the other party was someone who didn't like owing favors to others. Since she had saved her team member, she would definitely try her best to repay the favor.

"That's true, but we haven't found a good candidate yet. As you know, the work in the Action Department is quite tough, and you can't survive without some skills," she said expectantly. "Does Captain Li have any suitable candidates?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, as if she was hesitating, but soon she said, "There is one who should be reporting to the logistics department in a while. You can try to get him over there."

Normally, new employees will go to the logistics department to wait for assignment. If other departments have their eyes on someone, they can go there in person to request the person.

“Okay!” Lu Zhao readily agreed. “When that person arrives, please let Captain Li know.”

"You agreed so quickly?" Li Manqiu was clearly taken aback, her tone somewhat surprised.

Eh?

Lu Zhao didn't immediately understand what was wrong with her, and replied with an awkward laugh, "Well... someone who can be chosen by Captain Li must be a good prospect, so why would I refuse?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a deliberately lowered chuckle from the other end of the line, followed by the other person saying, "Okay, I'll let you know in advance if that person comes to report."

With that, Li Manqiu hung up the phone.

After staring at the phone for a while, Lu Zhao belatedly realized that the original owner of this body had never been particularly fond of the Second Team. Even if she admired Li Manqiu, she probably wouldn't have told her about it given her reserved personality.

So now that Li Manqiu has taken the initiative to recommend someone, given the original owner's personality, there would probably be all sorts of considerations. The fact that I agreed so readily is something even Li Manqiu probably didn't expect.

Does this mean her character has broken down?

But it's too late to call and refuse now, isn't it?

Lu Zhao fell silent for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he decided to save Li Manqiu's phone number for future use.

As for the rest...

One can only pray that Li Manqiu is not very familiar with the original owner of this body, so she doesn't notice anything unusual about herself.

Chapter 49 The Crisis of the Bureau of Spirits?

The next day, Lu Zhao got up very early, made breakfast for the young lady, and then woke her up.

"Egg, milk, and red bean buns—a healthy breakfast all in one! Eat up, and then we'll go to the Department of Spirits and Deaths together."

Sitting leisurely in his chair, Lu Zhao couldn't help but tap the table when he saw the still sleepy-eyed young lady. "Xiao Fei, wake up!"

"So sleepy... I went to bed late last night." Xia Zhifei opened her eyes uncomfortably, looking at her pitifully. "Maybe I shouldn't go today. Anyway, I'm just a part-time employee, I don't need to go unless it's something important..."

Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment. After looking at her for a long time, he could only sigh and say, "Okay, eat your breakfast and go back to sleep."

"Great!"

Have I been too lenient with her?

Hmm... It seems the original owner of this body has always been tolerant of Xia Zhifei. Judging from the young lady's attitude, it's clear that she's done this more than once or twice.

Should we try to urge Xia Zhifei to rest earlier next time?

Even if you're a part-time employee, you should at least work three or four days a week and develop a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

Lu Zhao quietly added this item to his schedule, ate something casually, reminded Xia Zhifei to turn off the stove and gas when she was home alone, and finished nagging her before leaving with peace of mind.

For some reason, ever since she got on the bus, she felt like someone was watching her, but when she looked back, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Unbeknownst to her, the energy fluctuations that the spirit race could sense each other suddenly appeared for a while, but when she turned around to look for them in the crowd again, she could no longer feel them.

That's strange. Could it be that there's some ability to conceal one's presence?

Since transmigrating, Lu Zhao has only seen a handful of abilities, and the strange abilities listed in the resume alone were enough to leave her speechless. Now, having the ability to conceal one's aura doesn't seem so strange.

She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. Although she still looked drowsy on the surface, she was secretly on high alert. If anyone showed hostility, she would immediately become alert and enter a defensive state.

However, no one attacked her until the bus reached the abandoned factory at its final stop.

Was she mistaken, or was this spirit merely passing by without any ill intent?

Both of these conjectures are fine, as long as no one is deliberately testing her third possibility.

She slowly got out of the car and arrived at the abandoned factory. She familiarly scanned her palm print and entered the Spirit Management Bureau. Before Lu Zhao could even go up to the second floor, she was caught red-handed by Messiah, who had arrived a little earlier than her.

"Captain! Oh, you're here! Hurry up, we're going to miss the morning meeting!"

Eh?

She was stunned for a moment, and was passively pulled by Messiah to run into the corridor at the back of the first floor.

So the Eldar also have morning meetings.

The two quickly crossed the corridor, and Lu Zhao glanced at the signs on the rooms around them as he ran.

Men's and women's rest rooms, men's and women's changing rooms, individual training rooms, gym, men's and women's shower rooms... Wow, that's pretty comprehensive.
