My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Oh no, is this guy planning to do it again?!

Lu Zhao swallowed nervously, staring intently at the knife in her hand, ready to escape at any moment.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Lin Yu slowly spoke: "It matches your attributes very well, want to give it a try?"

"Huh?" She was taken aback.

Immediately, Messiah beside him laughed and pulled Lin Yu over: "Alright, Lin, the captain is injured and can't use his left hand for the next few days. Quickly get me a handy tool; we still need to go to the mission site!"

Lin Yu glanced at her before pulling out a finely crafted silver dagger from his pocket: "I made this secretly with the leftover materials from last time. You got a good deal."

Messiah's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and played with it for a while before nodding in satisfaction: "Not bad, then we'll be going now!"

Is that all? Doesn't she carry a weapon for self-defense or anything?

Looking bewildered, Lu Zhao returned to the elevator with Messiah. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What's the deal with Lin Yu?"

I feel a strong hostility towards myself... no, towards the original owner of this body.

As the elevator numbers continued to drop, Messiah casually said while toying with the palm-sized short blade in her hand, "She's liked Xia Zhifei for quite some time now, but everyone knows that Miss Xia only has eyes for you, and there's nothing that can be done about it."

Xia Zhifei, yet another new name.

However, compared to Messiah and Lin Yu, whom his junior had never mentioned, Lu Zhao did know a thing or two about this person.

Because she is also a romanceable character.

The eldest daughter of the Xia family, the heiress of a musical family, a favored daughter of heaven, with a gentle personality—all the best words can be used to describe Xia Zhifei.

If Xia Zhifei were placed in an ordinary game world, he would probably live a very happy life.

But everything changed after he awakened and became a member of the Spirit Race.

In the world of "Elder Race", humans awaken as Elder Race and gain those magical psionic powers, but this is not without its price.

For example, the price Xia Zhifei paid for her awakening was the permanent loss of her musical talent, which she was so proud of.

If every awakening of a spirit race member comes at a price, then what price did Lu Zhao's body pay?

"Captain? Captain, what's wrong?" Messiah's voice brought her back from her reverie.

She took a moment to react before managing a weak smile: "It's nothing."

Asking too many questions can arouse suspicion, especially in front of someone who has been with the original owner for several years. You must always be vigilant.

Lu Zhao is now certain of several things: the original owner of this body was very likely not very steady when it came to relationships, so she would subconsciously avoid Chi Ying and Lin Yu.

I have no idea how the original owner managed to win over both Chi Ying and Xia Zhifei, who were potential romance targets...

Secondly, the original owner's skills haven't disappeared, as can be seen from her instinctively dodging the knife just now. That's good; at least she won't have to spend time learning them again, and she should be able to protect herself when carrying out this mission.

Third, although Lu Zhao is strict with his subordinates, judging from Messiah's talkative manner when facing him, their relationship is still quite good. As long as he maintains a normal attitude towards them, it will be fine.

Lu Zhao didn't know how he had traveled to this place, or whether he would travel back to this place at some point. All of this was unknown.

For now, all she needs to do is hide herself and wait until she gets through this hurdle before looking for a way to travel back in time.

"We've arrived at the thirty-third basement level."

As the electronic voice reminded him, Lu Zhao subconsciously looked up, and when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned.

Chapter 5: Constantly in a daze after transmigrating

Everything was just like a scene from a science fiction movie. Thirty-three layers underground, there was a magnetic levitation track with many tanks parked on it.

Now Lu Zhao could finally be certain that the technology Tianqiong possessed was at least twenty years ahead of the world she had lived in.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, blue motion-sensor lights gradually illuminated her body.

Messiah walked confidently to a two-seater chariot, unlocked it using his palm print, and then greeted her, "Captain, come quick, we've already wasted seven or eight minutes."

Who was just taking their time?

"I understand..." Lu Zhao quickly stepped forward, sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and then carefully looked at the interior of the car for a while.

Although the game world is set in the near future, some basic features of modern cars are still retained on this war machine.

A screen lit up on the windshield, and a soft electronic female voice said, "Welcome Lu Zhao and Messiah from the First Action Team. Please enter your destination."

No. 126, Qixi Road, East Suburbs of Yongling City.

As Messiah's command was input, the light inside the vehicle gradually adjusted to a softer level. His body instinctively pressed itself against the solid seat. Before he could even take a breath, the chariot beneath him suddenly started moving and charged forward.

This thing is so exciting!

Lu Zhao, who had never ridden in a fast car before, was not used to this speed at all, but his body seemed very calm. He didn't feel nauseous or even dizzy.

She stiffly turned her head to look at Messiah, and her lips twitched as she realized that he had already started leisurely sitting in his seat playing on his phone.

Are all the Spirit Race members physically strong?

“Oh right,” Messiah suddenly remembered something and took out a work ID from her pocket, “Your things, I forgot to take them the day before yesterday.”

She subconsciously took it and glanced at the general information on it: Lu Zhao, 24 years old, Spirit Clan Sequence No. 002, Captain of the First Team of the Action Department.

Her fingers gently caressed the photo on it. This was the first time she had ever seen what her current body looked like since she had transmigrated.

This body is completely different from her appearance before she transmigrated. In her previous life, she was a typical obedient girl, both in appearance and behavior.

The woman in the photo, though short-haired like her, exudes a sharp and assertive aura. If someone were to see her for the first time, the first thing that would come to mind would probably be a long, thin katana.

Just one glance is like having your heart ripped open from top to bottom, making you gasp for breath.

She was clearly an extremely beautiful person, yet she exuded a sharp, intimidating beauty that made people afraid to approach her. If I had met someone with such an appearance in my past life, I would have definitely kept my distance.

With mixed feelings, Lu Zhao hung his work ID around his neck, took a deep breath, and silently clenched his fingers.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, she still felt a sense of loss when she actually saw her face now.

I've really been transported into the game, and... I don't even know if I can go back.

She closed her eyes, not wanting to see the passage flashing by so quickly, partly to compose herself and avoid revealing any weakness to the Messiah.

Yes, she doesn't even have the right to hide away and have a good cry now. As long as there are people other than herself around, she can only play the role of the original owner.

She calmed herself down and slowly opened her eyes after silently counting her breaths to thirty-five and feeling the gradual changes in the external environment.

An autumn leaf suddenly landed on the car window.

They're out of the underground world so quickly?

Before she could even process her surprise, Messiah muttered something to herself and started working on the windproof glass screen for a while before saying, "We're less than fifty meters from our destination. There are ordinary people ahead of us, so let's walk over."

From the fleeting look of resistance on the other party's face, Lu Zhao immediately understood.

My junior had previously told her about the plot, saying that due to various reasons, there was a lot of friction between ordinary humans and the Elven race, and some people on both sides were not very friendly to each other.

It seems that Messiah is very likely one of those people.

Not quite sure what the original owner's feelings were towards ordinary people, Lu Zhao didn't object. He got out of the car without a word and walked quickly with Messiah toward the bustling crowd.

Behind them, the seemingly high-tech tank gradually disappeared without leaving a trace in the air.

The autumn wind was particularly bleak, indicating that winter was approaching. She was only wearing a thin trench coat over a shirt, but she didn't feel cold at all.

In contrast, Messiah next to her... although her appearance is very youthful and sporty, you can still clearly see her slightly trembling little fists when you get close.

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh, but when he saw the flames shooting into the sky not far away, he lost all desire to laugh.

There weren't many people in the eastern suburbs of Yongling City to begin with, and the streets should have been very quiet. But at this moment, not far from them, there was a chaotic shouting.

"Make way! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

"Quickly, keep fighting the fire!"

"Please evacuate safely and orderly, and avoid crowding!"

In front of a burning detached house, two fire trucks, under command, worked tirelessly, spraying water into the towering flames.

But for some reason, the fire seemed impossible to extinguish, spreading wildly with the wind and recklessly devouring everything in its path. No matter what methods they used, they were unable to control the fire.

In front of the safety barrier, several residents were being guided to leave the area in an orderly manner.

"Was the fire started by the Spirit Race?" Lu Zhao stared at the fire from afar, and in the rather distorted air, she smelled an ominous scent.

Messiah took out her phone, scanned the fire, and her expression immediately turned serious: "Wasn't it supposed to be just a simple C-level search mission? This fire is clearly caused by B-level psionic energy! Captain, you go put out the fire, I'll search the area for any suspicious elves!"

Without another word, she ran into the nearest alley, leaving Lu Zhao standing there dumbfounded.

Put out the fire?

How will she save him? With psychic powers?

But she still doesn't know what the original owner's spiritual energy is!

To create suspense, the junior student briefly introduced the stories of four or five main romanceable characters and the female protagonist, but she didn't mention anything about the original Lu Zhao.

Aside from the information she had just compiled and a small number of seemingly unimportant memories, she knew absolutely nothing about the original owner of this body!

Chapter Six: Psychic Power, A First Test

"I heard the firefighters say there was a little girl inside!"

"No way? Such a big fire..."

She turned around in surprise and looked at the two elderly women who had just left beside her, supporting each other. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is anyone still inside?"

One of the old women gave her a rather strange look: "Yes, she's that family's youngest daughter. The firefighters just carried out the bodies of the two adults. I reckon the child is in grave danger too. What a tragedy."

Another child?

Lu Zhao hurriedly looked up at the place where the firelight was still burning, trying his best to calm himself down and desperately searching through the memories in his mind.

There was a reason why the Messiah specifically asked himself to stay behind to put out the fire.

Moreover, in her memory, the original owner also saw a white sea of ​​fire when her psychic powers awakened...

Could it be that...?

She shuddered violently, immediately pushed her way through the crowd to the safety line, and pulled out her work ID to a firefighter: "I'm from Sky Dome, let me in!"

It seems that various mechanisms in this world have some kind of cooperation with the Sky Dome, because the other party only glanced at her before pulling back the safety line to let her in.

Feeling the heat in the air, Lu Zhao stood less than ten meters away from the fire scene, surrounded by the still noisy sounds of firefighting.
