My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Shouldn't Xia Zhifei and Lu Zhao be best friends? They grew up together, inseparable since childhood. Did something go wrong?

It's still because of myself...

Because this body now has a different soul, Xia Zhifei has become estranged from her.

When was she exposed?

Distracted, Lu Zhao suddenly unleashed a burst of white flame from his hand, almost completely enveloping her right arm.

"Captain!" Song Lingge knew something was wrong as soon as she saw the situation. In the past, such situations always meant that Lu Zhao was about to go berserk!

She didn't stand idly by any longer. She drew her pistol from her waist and aimed it at Lu Zhao, gritting her teeth as she backed away to create distance between them. "Captain! Calm down!"

In a daze, Lu Zhao heard someone calling him. He looked up blankly and saw a white gun barrel pointed at him.

It was exposed after all.

That's true, she's inferior to the original owner in every way, how could she possibly learn it well?

She gave a bitter smile, and the flames on her body suddenly intensified!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Joy of Fire

Let's rewind to twenty minutes ago.

In the minister's office, Lu Zhao held the document titled "S-Class Spirit Race Duan Yue Observation Report" for a long time. When he saw the summary at the end that said, "It is recommended to establish a special observation area, place the observation object separately, and isolate it from external stimuli," he completely broke down.

What does it mean to place something separately? What does it mean to isolate something from its stimuli?

Isn't this just a disguised form of house arrest?

Whether you're eating, sleeping, or doing anything else, someone is secretly watching you. Every action you take will be magnified and studied by them.

If you get angry and want to rebel, then an injection of suppressant will be administered, guaranteeing that for a month, not only will you not be able to use your abilities, but you will also need someone to help you eat and go to the toilet.

This is not just house arrest, but also the kind of mental torture that is done under the guise of "for your own good," where someone is watching you at all times, making you unable to eat or sleep!

Just imagining that scene and putting himself in that situation made Lu Zhao feel a chill run down his spine.

Duan Yue is still so young, and her mind is more sensitive and delicate. How could she possibly withstand such a high-pressure environment?

But... why was her report on Chi Ying's desk?

The submission date written above is today, which means that the entire report will be completed and submitted in no more than three days.

But Duan Yue was clearly lying peacefully in the hospital, so where did these people get the report from...?

Lu Zhao's thoughts stopped there, because she realized something: that the scene she saw of Duan Yue that day was a conspiracy to deceive her.

The most likely person is the messiah who has been taking care of Duan Yue.

……

"Captain! Wake up!" Messiah gripped the throwing knife tightly, on the verge of tears. "I was wrong! I shouldn't have lied to you! Please, please, take back the White Flame right now!"

But Lu Zhao just mechanically tilted his head, as if he hadn't heard her voice at all, and approached them step by step.

“This won’t do,” Song Lingge reminded her in a low voice, “There are surveillance cameras here. If this continues, the alarm will be triggered, and the captain will be locked in the solitary confinement cell again.”

Messiah said with a mournful face, "I made the captain angry this time. I'll go and make her stop!"

“No! Your psychic powers are intermittent. If you go up now, you'll be no different from an ordinary person. I'll do it, and you can support me from the side.”

The two people on this side were still discussing battle plans before the battle, but Lu Zhao's consciousness had fallen into some unknown place. He only knew that when he opened his eyes, he felt as if he were in the crater of a volcano, with fire above and below him, endless fire, and he could not see the end of it.

"Where... am I?" She was still a little out of it, and only glanced blankly at the background of the firelight all around her, but she didn't feel the heat at all.

Wasn't she just at the Department of Spirits and Deaths? How did she end up in a place like this?

Did I lose control and burn down the entire Bureau of Superintendents?

No, not at all.

A sudden female voice rang out, startling Lu Zhao. He hurriedly turned around and saw a woman who looked exactly like him walking through the air.

"You..." Overwhelmed by the unparalleled intimidation emanating from the other person, she unconsciously took two steps back. She looked at the person hesitantly, a guess forming in her mind. "Are you the original Lu Zhao? I've always wanted to talk to you."

But the man shook his head: "I am not Lu Zhao. The appearance you see now is based on the appearance of the person I know best. If you have to give me a name, then... you usually call me Bai Yan."

Ah this...

Lu Zhao was dumbfounded. Was there such a bizarre setting in the game where psionic energy could transform one into a human?

"Do you think this is a game?" Bai Yan asked again.

How can this guy read her mind?!

She quickly clutched her chest, knowing it was probably pointless, but at least it gave her something to hold onto: "You...you can hear my thoughts, and you know I'm not your original master, right? So are you planning to kill me and return my body to your master?"

If that's the case, then she's been wronged terribly. She's just an innocent time traveler, okay?

But Bai Yan still shook his head: "Why would you ask that? You are my master, we have a symbiotic relationship, so naturally I won't lay a hand on you."

Lu Zhao immediately denied it: "I'm not! I don't belong to your world. If you don't want to kill me, can you send me back? I still have family and friends in my world, and they are all waiting for me!"

Having inexplicably transmigrated to this world, she was on the verge of giving up. Even though she had wavered over some minor issues, the desire to go home always prevailed.

“I’m sorry,” Bai Yan smiled, completely unlike its original ferocious form, “I’ll take what you said as true, but I can’t send you back. Because you and I are one, and if you feel with your heart, you can hear my thoughts.”

This……

Lu Zhao moved closer to her with some skepticism, reaching out to touch her. "Like this?"

Bai Yan nodded with a smile.

His fingers gently touched Bai Yan's chest, and in that instant, countless pieces of information flooded into Lu Zhao's brain.

She saw it!

Regarding the original body and Bai Yan fighting and training together, from hating this power, to having to accept it, to using it skillfully, and finally becoming a truly inseparable entity...

"what!"

Startled, Lu Zhao opened his eyes and stepped back, sweating profusely as he looked at it. "Why are you showing me this?!"

"Because you are my master, I don't want you to suffer that kind of harm again." Bai Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat unhappy when this matter was mentioned.

harm?

It took her a while to realize that the original owner of this body had been locked in a dark room because of her rampage, and the other party meant that they didn't want her to suffer that kind of punishment again.

“These past few days you’ve been trying to get to know me, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to communicate with you, so all the control you’ve exerted on me has only been superficial. Today, with your emotions out of control, I finally have the opportunity to talk to you.”

Lu Zhao was speechless for a moment. Since coming to this world, she had indeed been in a state of high alert. Even if she wavered occasionally, she was quickly cleared away by reason.

This is the first time such a sudden loss of control has occurred.

So, communicating with Bai Yan isn't about controlling your reason, but rather about losing control of your emotions?

Although it was a bit strange, Lu Zhao thought it made sense when he thought about the fact that the other party was fire.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lu Went Astray

Looking at it with mixed feelings, she took a deep breath to calm herself down and tentatively asked, "Then let me ask you, the consciousness that I've been feeling affecting my emotions before, is it actually you?"

The other person raised an eyebrow: "You can understand it that way, because fire has temperature, and your heart also has temperature. I usually reside in your heart, and I can perceive the whole world through your body, my master."

And while you still can't fully control me, I've always wanted to communicate with you, so sometimes you'll be influenced by my consciousness.

So, did the original Lu Zhao really lose all consciousness?

Such a strong and kind person, it's unbelievable that they no longer exist in this world...

Although she was no longer in danger of having her consciousness affected, she still felt a little regretful. If she had traveled back in time, Lu Zhao from this world would not have been able to return.

“Don’t think like that, you are my master,” Bai Yan repeated.

Lu Zhao clutched his chest in displeasure. "You! You're not allowed to pry into my thoughts! And I won't listen to you! When we're not in combat, let's just leave each other alone and not bother each other!"

Bai Yan seemed somewhat helpless, but ultimately nodded in agreement. "Alright, you are my master, and I will naturally obey your orders. Also, your body is still unconscious, so you need to go back and take control as soon as possible, using the method I just taught you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the whole world spinning around her, and her consciousness seemed to have been suddenly thrown out and then abruptly returned to her body.

A feeling of nausea rose from her stomach, and she opened her eyes uncomfortably. She heard a gunshot, and then a ball of green energy carrying a bullet flew toward her. Lu Zhao's breath caught in her throat as she watched it graz her cheek and land on the wall behind her.

Song Lingge... does he really want to kill her?

A burning sensation lingered on her face for a long time. She reached out and gently touched the bloodstain, her brows furrowing tightly.

It hurts a little.

But the pain was even worse in some unknown part of my chest.

She clenched her fist silently. This time, she didn't need to think about controlling the white flames. With just a thought, she easily pulled back the flames that were about to spread to her whole body.

Bai Yan taught her to relax her mind and become one with it. She did as she was told. The flame, which had been so difficult to communicate with before, now felt like a part of her body.

But now is not the time to be happy.

She raised her head and looked at Song Lingge in front of her with a complicated expression.

"Captain?" Messiah looked her up and down in surprise, his voice stammering, "You, how did you suddenly..."

Song Lingge lowered her gun, her face slightly pale. "Captain, you've regained your senses. I just—"

“No need to explain,” Lu Zhao raised his hand to interrupt them, his brows furrowed and his eyes dark. “I know you’re worried about me, afraid I’ll lose control again, I understand… I’m sorry, we’ll skip dinner tonight.”

With that, she walked right past the two people and headed outside.

She understood the reasoning, and besides, she wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't have that deep feelings for these team members. But when she actually saw them pointing guns at her, Lu Zhao still felt a suffocating feeling in her chest.

Ultimately, although she kept saying she wanted to get used to the world as soon as possible, she was still resisting it deep down.

She wanted to go home; she didn't want to stay here.

But the deeper these thoughts became, the less she could adapt to the world, which led to her losing control of her emotions at the slightest provocation.

Ha, what kind of bullshit paradox is this?

Lu Zhao chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked back and found that the two people had not chased after him. He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Forget it, I'm not the same Lu Zhao I used to be, why bother making myself like this?

As long as she pretends on the surface and waits until the female lead appears and the entire plot unfolds, she can leave this world.
