Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

Is it really normal to contain these abnormalities?

"Secure? Contain? Protect?"

"I'm sorry, Bai Yu, I don't know where you heard these nonsense slogans from, but there is only one thing you need to remember, this is the Lobotomy Corporation."

“Even if you work your way up from an employee, you have to prioritize production energy.”

Angela smiled at Bai Yu who had just arrived at the headquarters office.

"Now, let's take these Abnormalities behind you back to the storage room."

"Sorry, Angela, they may not obey me."

Bai Yu also looked at the guide, Hai Si and the cell man behind him with helplessness.

He turned his head and looked at the beautiful AI seriously.

"Also, I really want to end this cycle."

Chapter 1 Everyone, Welcome to Lobotomy Corporation

Even though the training staff had sprayed perfume on the newcomers, some still felt there was a strange smell in the air...

Fortunately, these are unimportant. No one in the crowd cares about these small details. Excitement and restlessness still dominate the minds of everyone present.

"I never dreamed that we could succeed!"

"Yeah, I was able to escape from that hellhole in the back alley and join the World Wings! I'm so happy!"

"Shh! Don't disturb the interviewer's rest. If he gets upset and fires us all, I'll fight you to the death!"

"..."

Yeah, no one cares.

Seeing the group of people in front of him still making noise, Bai Yu sat down in the chair at the front of the crowd like a jerk. He was the interviewer of this group of unlucky guys in a suit.

'Even if there's only one interviewer here to receive them, even if they've been locked in here since hearing a series of emergency rings an hour ago, they don't care.'

Bai Yu sighed inwardly and looked at the brain logo not far away...

"After all, this is the 'Lobotomy Corporation,' one of the 26 World Wings."

This place has the world's incredible "Singularity Technology". People from outside think that as long as they join the Wings of the World, they will have achieved the greatest achievement and be able to participate in the creation of the future.

Therefore, in this world, everyone regards becoming a member of "World Wings" as their lifelong dream.

But...Bai Yu doesn't have such a dream.

He was just an ordinary time traveler who traveled to this world three months ago and came to the body of a lucky person with the same name.

Bai Yu woke up in the staff dormitory, thus freeing the former employees.

He has the game "Lobotomy Corporation" in his Steam library. Although he hasn't completed the entire game, Bai Yu still knows most of the details of this world...

On the surface, Lobotomy Corporation excels at producing pollution-free energy, and has thus become the largest energy company in the world. However, in the dark, which ordinary people cannot see, this company is doing work similar to that of the SCP Foundation.

Contain and process some anomalies called "abnormalities"... and the energy is naturally produced from them.

And if you know a little about the process of extracting energy, you will understand that this is definitely not a safe job.

If Bai Yu hadn't been a member of Lobotomy Corporation from the moment he arrived in this world, with no other safe way to leave except death, he would have thrown his employee badge into the gutter and chosen to stay as far away from this company as possible...

"Haven't you finished yet? You've been working overtime for quite a while..."

Bai Yu felt his legs, which were resting on the table, were getting numb, and he scratched his head in distress.

He naturally knew that this interview should have ended long ago. At this moment, there was only one possibility for the blockade of the outside world... Another alien entity outside had broken through the containment.

This isn't the headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation, so there's no need to get involved in that damn reincarnation... This should be the most fortunate thing for him since he came to this world.

And because of this, the abnormalities here are only assigned by the headquarters from time to time, and currently, there is not even a abnormality above H level in the entire branch.

"Sigh..." Bai Yu sighed and turned on the communicator that had been turned off since the alarm started. "Hello... Moshi Moshi, Hill, what happened? Why haven't you sorted it out yet?"

"Bai Yu?" The person on the other end of the communicator didn't even own it. "You're from the training department, right? Tell the HOD director later. We might need to hire a new group of people..."

"What happened again?"

"F-01-02 breached containment. It just exploded in the Intelligence Department's break room... uh, how should I put it? Hill was visiting here at the time... Three employees died."

"You mean the scorched girl?" Bai Yu frowned, remembering the little girl in the holding cell who sold 'nuclear bombs'. "Hasn't any of you security guards read the new manual I compiled?"

As a time traveler, he tried his best to write down all his memories of these anomalies in a manual. Although it is not complete, it is enough to deal with the anomalies in this branch.

"Okay, the book you compiled hasn't been approved by headquarters, so we still have to follow the safety manual."

"Heh... But even if we deal with it normally, your reaction speed is still slow," Bai Yu said casually, as he saw through the other party's blame-shifting behavior.

There was no doubt that the branch's security personnel had been trained by the headquarters, but whether they truly had the courage to stand in the way of those bizarre anomalies was another matter.

There was silence for a moment, as if the person on the other end was enduring something. After a few seconds, he finally lowered his voice and spoke almost through gritted teeth.

"Bai Yu, just do your own thing. Don't think you can blame me just because you have the most seniority here. We are all the same. Sooner or later, we will all die in this damn place!"

"Alright..." Bai Yu interrupted the chatter on the other side, "Let's get down to business. When will the blockade be lifted?"

"Ten minutes later, tsk... Regarding the personnel replenishment, I remember the HOD Minister said that the communication is complete."

Putting the disconnected communicator back to its original place, Bai Yu looked helplessly at the orange ceiling and muttered to himself, "Three more dead..."

He was also a little bit unbelievable. Only three months had passed, and he now felt so indifferent to the loss of life.

But what can be done?

Within a month, even these newcomers in front of him would be dead.

Lobotomy Corporation does not care about the lives of its employees, nor does it have lofty ideals like "protecting humanity." The company has had only one goal since its inception - to produce more energy!

Here, civilians are basically equivalent to D-level personnel, and the status of branch employees like them is not much different. They are all consumables that need to be replaced when broken.

Even Bai Yu, in the past three months, had only relied on his own understanding of the Abnormalities to dodge the scythe of the Grim Reaper time and time again. If he was unlucky and encountered those dangerous Abnormalities breaking through the containment...

".... New employees, please go to Room D3 of the Training Department to complete your onboarding procedures. For those of you working as clerical staff, please take Elevator No. 1 to return to the dormitory..."

Finally, a pleasant female voice echoed in the hall, and the gate that had been locked finally opened.

The crowd began to get restless, and those who were whispering turned their eyes to Bai Yu.

They still think this might be a test from the interviewer.

But Bai Yu didn't think too much about it. He just stood up, patted his suit, and forced a kind smile in front of these juniors.

"Everyone, welcome to Lobotomy Corporation."

Chapter 2 Request

For everyone, every day in the company should be extremely fresh, and returning to the dormitory safely is just a luxury for them.

In the crowd, ignoring the civilian staff who were wiping blood-red stains in the corridor, Bai Yu's pace became faster and faster. At a fork in the corridor, he finally parted ways with the main group and walked towards his dormitory almost alone.

Whether these people stay or go has nothing to do with him.

As a veteran of Lobotomy, he simply took his employee badge off his collar skillfully, hummed a little tune, and walked briskly towards the time clock.

Ok.

Punch out and get off work.

After all, as a giant energy company, Lobotomy is very humane, except for the fact that once you enter, you can never leave. Employees can leave work at any time as long as their daily energy quota is met.

Except for some special cases...

But this time it had nothing to do with him. Just as Bai Yu was about to insert his employee badge into the machine, a slightly childish voice stopped the old employee who wanted to return to the dormitory quickly.

"Um? Senior?"

"Huh?" Bai Yu turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail in a uniform suit following him quietly.

【Name: Komini

EGO accessories: none

EGO equipment: None

The control panel of "Lobotomy Corporation" appeared in front of Bai Yu.

This was what he awakened when he traveled through time. It was also because of this system that he was not inexplicably killed by those moody anomalies during these three months.

And now, in just a few seconds, all the information about this ponytailed girl was visible.

"what's up?"

Although he knew that the kid had been sentenced to death the first second he stepped into Lobotomy Corporation, Bai Yu still showed basic respect for him.

"Senior, my name is Komini. Um...what should I pay attention to after joining the company?" Komini saw the senior stop and said excitedly, "I...I really want to stay here! My family is short of money!"

"......"

Bai Yu looked at this sincere face and thought seriously for a moment.

"Attention? Um..."

"Yeah!" Komini nodded frantically, and took out her own small notebook from her arms, ready to write down the wise words of her predecessors.

After a few seconds, Bai Yu said seriously, "If you can avoid work, don't do it. If you have nothing to do, just stay in the dormitory and slack off!"

This was the most valuable thing he had learned in three months.

Here, the one-month survival rate for clerical workers is nearly 5%, while for staff it is less than 30%.

Bai Yu could never forget how his first friend in this world was chatting in the corridor, and then a magic circle suddenly appeared behind him, and dark blue bullets appeared from behind him, and then blew out his intestines.

Yes, in Lobotomy Corporation, you never know when those seemingly peaceful Abnormalities in their containment cells might suddenly give you a 'surprise'.

But it is obvious that Komini is not very receptive to the absolute key points of the "Employee Survival Manual" summarized by Bai Yu.

"Senior..." Komini swallowed her saliva. It was clearly something she was asking the senior for advice on, but she was hesitant to put pen to paper. "Isn't this work attitude a bit bad..."

Seeing that the younger generation was so clueless, Bai Yu just shrugged.

Well, that’s enough. She will understand in a few days anyway.

"Anything else? Without me..."

Just as Bai Yu was about to put his employee badge on the sensor again.

"Senior! Senior Bai Yu! Something bad has happened!"

At the end of the corridor, several employees, also in suits, came running. Their slightly tired faces showed that they were not new at all.

"Bird?"

Bai Yu was familiar with the visitor. This guy was also one of the few "old" employees in this branch who had lived for more than a month.

"Aren't you from the Control Department? Why are you looking for someone from the Training Department?"

Although he spoke calmly, Bai Yu still glanced at Komini silently. It seemed that because of this little delay, he had dragged himself into trouble.

Unlike the Training Department, which is responsible for maintaining company discipline and discussing and formulating employee training policies, the Control Department has greater authority. They are responsible for monitoring employees and abnormalities, conveying work instructions to abnormalities, and planning comprehensive training programs.

If the Control Department is forced to start transferring people across departments...I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.
