"If there's anything I can help you with at work..."
"No, no need. Ahem. It's wrong to be lazy during working hours." Although Theresa had spent the whole afternoon drinking bitter melon juice and looking for Xia Yuan, as a bishop, she naturally had to have the dignity of a bishop, so she explained to Youlandel in a serious manner.
Of course, the final say belongs to the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate.
Unfortunately...Teresa's words reminded Yulandel of her father who was on vacation in the Hawaiian Islands. In her mind, he even gave her a thumbs up, as if saying to her, "My good daughter, you are the one who will protect Dad's vacation life."
"Well, Bishop, I...I'll go get some water."
Yulandel felt that she could no longer continue with the bishop's topic, and hurriedly left Theresa's side.
But when she passed by Miss Hei Xi and Xi'er, Xi'er's unintentional words made Miss Hei Xi panic immediately, "That Hom doll..."
"How do I know where that doll is?"
But Miss Heixi seemed very guilty, like a child who had done something wrong. She decided not to let Xier know that she had scratched it with her claws. Who allowed that broken toy idol to float in the aisle of the ship like a ghost to scare her? If not scratch it with her claws, who else would she scratch?
On the other side, Xiao Xuan suddenly jumped out from beside Fu Hua.
"Stupid, if it wasn't the invasion of the Ruler of Rule, do you think it was done by aliens? Just like what was said in the movie "Homo Horror Night" I watched last night, or was it the "Deli Idiot Virus" that turns people into little fools and infects two people?"
She and Mumutou searched for a long time, but found no signs of invasion by the Ruler of Rule.
Assuming it's not a ghost, then it can only be an alien invasion.
Xiao Xuan added mysteriously, "For example, the Martians closest to us sneaked into our ship and tried to study our actions, etc. No! Dumbhead, I always feel that you have been acting strange these past two days. Could you be a Martian in disguise?"
The Cang Xuan Book observed Fu Hua's every move, as if trying to see through her true identity.
"Don't think too much about it, it's just a movie."
Fu Hua pushed her glasses, as if she wanted Xiao Xuan to stop thinking about random things all day long.
Just then, Rita presented a plate of chestnut shortbread to the two of them. When Xiao Xuan saw the pastries on the round table, he couldn't help himself and jumped off the sofa, holding one in each hand.
"Hey, it's the same snack as in the afternoon!"
She started eating happily, forgetting about finding the murderer. When it comes to investigating a case, snacks are not important.
"A little bit of sugar can help relieve mental fatigue."
Rita's words reminded her, and as if she remembered something, Fu Hua looked up at the Chiyuan clock hanging on the wall [19:30]. The time did not match the other party's previous testimony.
"Ms. Rita, I remember your schedule is usually very full, right?"
She wanted to confirm it with the person himself.
"Of course, Master Fu Hua, after all, I am also a member of the Destiny Organization. I guide people to rebuild their homes after the collapse, spread knowledge, organize schools, clean up residual risks, restore the ecological environment, and go to the wild for investigation. My daily life is ordinary, just what a member of the Destiny Organization should do."
Rita cleverly changed the subject. She didn't want the other party to continue pursuing the matter. It would be better for only she to know what happened with Mr. Xia Yuan in the baking room... This way she wouldn't have to deal with the aftermath.
However, Fu Hua felt a mysterious and dangerous aura from the other party.
Obviously, Rita didn't want her to go into it further, but for the safety of everyone on the ship, she was obliged to do so.
"But, Miss Rita, it only took you thirty minutes to make these desserts." Fu Hua sighed, stood up from the sofa and picked up the plate of chestnut biscuits.
The favorite pastries disappeared, and Xiao Xuan looked at Elmhead pitifully, fearing that the other party would eat them all in one breath. After all, Elmhead also liked to eat this kind of Shenzhou unique snack.
"But Rita, you said before that you spent the whole afternoon making desserts. Can you explain what you are hiding?"
Fu Hua glanced at Mr. Xia Yuan who was not far away... She felt that what Rita was hiding was related to him.
"Then Master Fu Hua, what are you hiding?"
Rita smiled and calmly asked the other party that she had already checked and there was no surveillance in the baking room. The hypnotized Mr. Xia Yuan would only think that he fell asleep due to excessive fatigue after making the sandwiches, and no one would know what had happened.
"Until now, you have refused to tell us what the treasure that was lost in the storeroom is."
Hearing the word "storage room", Mei and Bronya raised their heads at the same time, and their ears twitched as if they wanted to hear the conversation between the two people clearly. They knew what they had done in the warehouse.
Could it be that the so-called treasure was lost by me accidentally?
After all, it was she and her stupid subordinates who made a mess of the warehouse, Bronya thought to herself. Although she had tidied it up before leaving, it was inevitable that some things would be overlooked.
In order to prevent the blockhead from eating all the cakes, and also to have better snacks.
Xiao Xuan immediately defected, stood beside Rita, joined the other team, pointed at Elmhead and said, "No wonder you have been so mysterious these days, you are indeed an alien in disguise! Although I believe in you, Elmhead, but how does the saying go, eliminate all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth!"
"To be honest, it's not really a treasure. In addition to thinking about the Ruler of Rule these days, I also wanted to give Kiana a special gift. It can represent the long journey in the past and is also suitable for looking forward to a brand new future."
The demon spirit resting on Mei's legs moved.
Chapter 562: Package Mei as a gift!
"Gift, this isn't that simple~
"Why not wrap Mei and Xiao Xiayuan into a gift box and send them together to the lunar base? One is your best friend and the other is your best gaming partner. There is no gift more worthy of the other's happiness than these two, right? I believe Kiana will like it."
"Then he came out of the gift box and scared Kiana? Ellie, that wouldn't be a surprise, but a shock, right?"
Perhaps it was because of the baptism she had experienced, Aunt Mei's personality became much gentler. There was no arc of electricity surging on her fingertips. Instead, she lovingly pinched Ai Li's chubby little round face as she rested her head on her legs.
"Bronya, if you agree with this plan, why don't we pack up the stupid subordinates and Mei now? Please raise your hands if you agree."
She was the first to raise her hand and initiate the vote.
Dr. Ain was the second to raise her hand. As a scientific researcher and also in charge of the New Human Project, she was very happy to see this situation.
"???"
A string of question marks appeared above Xia Yuan's head. He hadn't agreed yet, so why were they voting?
"Yaya, have you never considered the feelings of the person involved? I haven't agreed yet! And if you want to give Qibao a surprise, you have to pack Meiyi and me in a huge gift box. Otherwise, when Qibao reacts, the second gift box will definitely not scare her. Are you sure you really want to put Meiyi and me together [alone]?"
"?!"
Perhaps thinking of what happened in the storage room, Bronya raised her hand and then quietly put it back.
After hearing this, Mei seemed to want to raise her hand, but she was too embarrassed to do so in front of everyone. Her right hand stayed in front of the fairy Ai Li's face, hesitating. It was not right to raise it, nor was it right not to raise it.
Fairy Ai's eyes narrowed into slits, and she especially wanted to record Mei's current expression.
How about calling the album: [Ripe Mei]?
"Ahem... Bronya was just joking. Of course I wouldn't do that. Please continue, squad leader."
She motioned to Fu Hua to continue.
If the stupid subordinates were allowed to stay with Mei, who knows what might happen inside the giant gift box.
"In fact, I have been in the storage room these days making the gift for Kiana. In the afternoon, I went to the lower warehouse to get some parts. I didn't expect this to happen when I came back."
"Huh... Fortunately, fortunately, Elmhead didn't do anything dangerous."
Xiao Xuan knocked her head and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her wooden head had been replaced by a Martian. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she looked at everyone present.
"Rita almost changed the subject. Except for the idiot and me, your testimonies all have loopholes!"
Rita kept smiling as always, as if nothing could make her lose her composure.
Theresa, who was tasting bitter melon juice, was choked by Xiao Xuan's words, while Miss Heixi looked over with dissatisfaction.
Dr. Tesla remained silent, for she was afraid that her identity as the Ruler of Herrscher would be exposed. Bronya and Mei also looked towards the corner, fearing that Xiao Xuan would talk to them.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
No one dared to look Xiao Xuan in the eye until Rita closed her eyes, smiled, and took the initiative to speak.
"I think everyone must have some special reasons for hiding something. After the Honkai incident came to an end, there are still many things that need to be solved. In order to reach that better tomorrow as soon as possible, everyone in Tianming is doing their best, especially Lady Theresa. When I brought drinks to Lady Theresa, I found that the office was empty, so I handled some work within my ability, hoping to let her rest for a while."
Rita praised him so much that even she, the person involved, felt embarrassed.
"Research... researching bitter melon juice should also be considered work, right? Yes, developing bitter melon ranches is also for the purpose of making people's lives better." The Bishop hypnotized herself. She did not slack off and had been working seriously. She also did not give all the approval documents to Amber.
"Wait a moment!"
Fu Hua stood up from the sofa and stared at the bishop sitting across the round table.
"Ms. Rita, you just said the office was empty?"
"Well, that..." The bishop was already sweating profusely, so he had to confess: "Well, actually, I spent the whole afternoon in the library thinking about some activities. I was always worried about Kiana. She was alone on the moon. Although she always smiled and said she was fine during the communication, she must have felt lonely, right?"
Confessed, but not completely.
She only took a short break to read in the library, and spent the rest of the time in Xia Yuan's room looking for her treasured bitter melon juice. But after all, Rita had just said that, so she couldn't say she was not doing her job, right? I'm sorry... I have to let you, Kiana, take the blame for the time being.
"To show your concern for Empty Nest Xiaoqi, start with... start with Miss Pink Fairy!"
"Theresa, you're probably overthinking it. I don't know how happy that stupid Kiana is at the moon base. No one is watching over her. She plays games all day long. She doesn't have much power of the End, but her ranking in the game has been rising rapidly. However, she still can't shake my position in the game."
For some reason, Bronya suddenly felt proud, and a little superior.
Mei fell into deep thought.
Was I lacking in discipline over Kiana? When we were video chatting before, she kept telling me not to worry, and then she sobbed and missed her. Her emotions were all fake. It seemed like I had to keep a close eye on Kiana in the future.
Chong Chong never dreamed that her usual cleverness would be discovered by Mei in this way.
What awaits her will be... Mei's most caring blow!
"Yes, when we were in St. Freya's College, Kiana would always clamor to play games, ask for red envelopes, and even drag everyone to take photos and group photos together." Fu Hua recalled the past experiences and couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, I have prepared a lot of red envelopes this year, and also designed a lot of small games for everyone to play together. It will definitely be very lively. After we deal with the incident of the Ruler of Rule, how about we play together on the moon base?"
The bishop clapped his hands and looked at everyone with a smile.
Miss Hei Xi suddenly became disgusted, and she and Xi'er beside her pointed at the bishop and couldn't help whispering something.
Chapter 563 Goodbye, my friend!
"Wait, is this another case of the camera shooting continuously and those who don't get the shot have to drink bitter melon juice?"
Even Xier's expression gradually became unnatural.
"Hehe, keep it a secret. You will know when the time comes."
Theresa winked at them, which even made Miss Heixi become like a furry cat for a moment, with her hair standing on end. She recalled the fear of being dominated by bitter melon juice. Instead of drinking bitter melon juice, it would be better for her to have a fight with the bad guys or the Ruler of Rule.
Huh? Why do I think of that bastard again? Forget it, forget it...!
Miss Heixi hypnotized herself.
Xiao Xuan placed her hands on her head with a very stiff expression. She suddenly had a bad feeling. Fu Hua's glasses reflected a dazzling light and stared at her, as if she had understood the truth. "Yu, you stupid guy, why are you looking at me like that?"
She had already started to sweat profusely, with cold sweat pouring out of her.
"Since Ms. Theresa has never been to the office, she naturally cannot prove that you, Xiaoxuan, were in the control room in the afternoon."
Cang Xuan Shu took a step back, speaking incoherently.
Just when she didn't know how to explain to the dull-headed guy, the maid standing behind her raised a finger and said, "I can prove it. When I went to the office, I did see someone sitting on the armchair in the control room. It was rare to see Xiao Xuan working seriously, so I didn't disturb her."
"See, I'm serious!"
Xiao Xuan continued following Rita's words, and even revealed a smug smile on the corner of her mouth. Good, no one found out that she put the Hom doll on the seat to act as her, so she just kept it secret.
"But after the gravity system went out of control, I didn't see Xiao Xuan in the control room, so I had to manually restore the gravity system to normal."
"Xiao Xuan, you skipped work again!"
Theresa's tone became serious and she scolded the other party, but Xiao Xuan pretended not to hear it. He turned around, leaving his back to the bishop, and then pointed at the fairy Ellie, who was fed when she ate and had someone to sleep with as a pillow.
They are both armed puppets, why is there such a big difference? No, she has to find someone to take the blame!
"I have exchanged shifts with the pink pig. She can't just take advantage of me, right? The armed puppets also have a shift system! If you want to be fierce, you should be fierce to the other party. She has never been on duty in the control room once."
Faced with Xiao Xuan's accusations, the fairy Ai Li lying on Mei's legs naturally blamed her breeder.
"I gave such an important task to Xiao Xia Yuan early in the morning."
As for why it wasn't Mei, she was afraid that later... her good Mei wouldn't let her rest her head on her thighs. Mei's elastic thighs were simply her best pillow.
"I don't even have a motorcycle license, let alone a spaceship, so this important task was directly handed over to my best boss, hiss—" He once again put the blame on Bronya.
"???!"
Without any extra words, she just quietly put her hand on the waist of the stupid subordinate.
"That's enough of you guys!"
A few people pushed back and forth, making the bishop furious.
"Of course, Xiao Xuan is not the only one who skipped work. Mr. Siegfried, who was supposed to be on duty at the Savior Headquarters, was not online the whole day today." Rita showed everyone the chat records in the communication.
