Talina packed the envelope and put it in her pocket, then placed the snacks in front of Rosemary and gently stroked her head.

"You just need to be happy, I'll take care of the rest."

"Don't worry..."

Volume 9: Chapter 37: Discovery

"I..."

Listening to Talina's words, Rosemary wanted to say something, but when she raised her head, she nodded silently and let Talina take her letter.

She doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't like others to meddle in her affairs, but...

Except for Talina and Kal'tsit.

"Well, that's good."

Reaching out to rub Rosemary's head, Talina lingered on her soft ears for a moment longer.

The fine hairs on the ears bring a unique touch, making people unable to help but rub them a few more times, and Talina is no exception.

Talina was a little surprised by Loken's suicidal behavior, but it didn't matter. Killing him early or late was still killing him. Since the other party was so eager to die, she didn't mind satisfying him!

After putting the letter away, Talina sat there and rested for a while. On the one hand, she was waiting for the two "children" to finish eating the food in their hands, and on the other hand, she contacted the Tin Man.

I told her about my encounter with Kal'tsit, and she replied, "I understand," before ending this brief communication.

"Strange...why does it feel...like it's not that surprising?"

Looking at the text on the other end of the phone, Tarina had a strange feeling.

just like...

It seemed like these two people had known each other for a long time.

Forget it...don't worry about it, just kill him!

.........

"How is it? Do the new clothes fit you well?"

Looking at He Mo who was adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, Ya Ling who was tidying things behind the doctor asked.

Hemer pulled up the collar to cover the slightly exposed neckline, then turned around and replied: "Well...it's...quite comfortable to wear."

It would be better if you could be more conservative.

Hemer unconsciously closed his legs and forced himself to adapt to the strange feeling.

She was used to wearing trousers and was not used to this kind of clothing, but there was nothing she could do because the clothes were given to her by someone else, not to mention they were of great help to her.

You have to wear it even if you don’t want to.

"This is brand new equipment developed by the Originium Arts Application Department. It's a welcome gift from Dorothy. I took it back and modified it, so it should fit you well."

"As for the debugging of the drone and the new associated devices, I don't think you need my instruction."

"Ah."

Hemer nodded to show that he knew.

Seeing this, Yala didn't waste any more words, took out a small box, and took out a pair of...

Contact lenses?

"Come here, I'll put it on for you."

Yara waved to Hemer and said with a chuckle.

Hemer moved his feet, his body showing obvious resistance, but he still moved to Yara's side.

Yara gently propped up Hemer's eyelids with her hands and carefully put the thing in her hand.

In an instant, a cold feeling came from his eyes and quickly transmitted to his brain, causing Hemer to blink subconsciously.

The contact lenses are very thin, so thin that they are almost imperceptible. If Hemer hadn't seen Yara put such a thing into her eyes with her own eyes, he would probably have thought it didn't exist.

With the experience of the first time, the second time was much easier. He put on the other invisible lens in the same way, and Hemer's overall change of clothes was nearing completion.

Yara crossed her arms across her chest, looked at the refreshed Hemer, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you look like a completely different person. I almost didn't recognize you. How are you? Are you getting used to your contact lenses?"

"It's okay. Once you get used to it, you can act normally."

Blinking his eyes, Hemer said somewhat unnaturally.

She felt a little uncomfortable with the lack of weight on her nose. Her long-term experience had made her accustomed to its existence, and now it suddenly disappeared, it would take her a while to adapt.

but...

It just feels good.

"Without your glasses, you look sharper, and if your old friends saw you, they might be shocked."

"If I can give them a fright, I might prefer it in other ways."

"for example?"

"character."

Although he spoke seriously, Hemer's "truth" only brought him Yara's ruthless "ridicule".

"You can use this as an opportunity to work on yourself. Don't underestimate the power of changing your appearance."

"I try my best..."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and Hemer felt a heat gathering there. She could swear that everything she had just said was from the heart.

But... it's really embarrassing...

"That's for the best. The blockade of District 13 won't end anytime soon. You've already been interrogated by the soldiers, and they've left an image of you. It'll inevitably be inconvenient for you to move around."

"Although the changes aren't huge, the overall temperament has changed, which is better than nothing."

After saying that, Yara walked to the side, picked up a "long stick" shaped like a shuttle, and handed it to Hemer.

"Change your image and your equipment, killing two birds with one stone."

"This is..."

Taking the strange thing that Yara handed to him, Hemer looked at it with confusion.

The "stick" is in the shape of a shuttle, with symmetrical ends and only a handle in the middle. It looks like a weapon, but the small display screen on the middle handle shows that it does not seem to be a simple weapon.

and...

“Is there a transmitter added to this?”

Feeling the crazy leaping of the transmitter in his arms, Hemer tried to move the "stick" farther away.

As expected, as the distance increased, the neurotransmitter that had been beating wildly in his arms suddenly became weak.

"That's right, the transmitter can transmit your thoughts to this joystick in a strange way, which can help you better control the drone. Of course, its hardness is comparable to those so-called magical weapons. You can easily stab someone with it."

Snapping her fingers, Yara nodded in agreement.

"Besides, these are Dorothy's true creations. The ones at Base 359 are just creations that Ferdinand and Parvis modified without authorization. They can't even be considered experimental subjects, they're just garbage."

"Is this so..."

Listening to Yara's words, Hemer tried to swing it. The seemingly huge joystick was surprisingly light. Although it was not as light as a feather, it was not a burden to her.

This is undoubtedly a brand new research and discovery, something that would cause a sensation in minutes if it were released to the outside world, but now this thing is in her hands and truly belongs to her.

This is a huge gift, and Hemer feels that he is not worthy of it with what he has done so far, so...

"Thank you... This house has not been occupied for the past two days. You came to District 13 today specifically."

She was not a fool. What Yara and Dorothy had done was beyond so-called help. It was more like... a bet?

Or is it a gamble?

"I did buy this vacation time, but the staff have been very busy lately, and even I, the head of the Human Resources Department, can't rest."

Yara smiled slightly and repeated her previous rhetoric, which was flawless and had no room for tinkering.

"I discovered transmitters at the explosion site. Are you here to recover them?"

Looking at Yara's serious look, Hemer couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had guessed wrong, but his "answer" was just established when it was immediately overturned by her.

"No... If you can help, then delivering the substance is just a matter of a wave of your hand and a word. Director Dorothy has no use for a little researcher like me."

"Ferdinand has been expelled, and Director Parvez is also tied up. Besides the Energy Department and the Structural Department... there are other departments that are also coveting the existence of transmitters..."

"and..."

Having said that, Hemer took the drone he had placed aside, pulled out the memory card from it, and then installed it on the laptop beside him.

With his ten fingers tapping nimbly, Hemer soon found what he wanted.

It was a photo, a photo taken by her drone.

There are two of her acquaintances in the photo...

Flipping his notebook over, Hermo looked at Ling Yalas and said, "I'm still here. I saw the dead Saria... How many people are involved in this so-called recovery mission?"

"Or... is this not a recovery mission at all, but... a tarpaulin covering up the truth?"

Volume 9: Chapter 38: The Attack

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and a dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

The friendly exchange just now seemed to disappear, the smile on Yara's face disappeared, and she kept looking at Hemer, as if surprised by her boldness.

Then, after a period of silence, Kela clapped his hands, and the continuous applause echoed in the house, making Hemer feel an inexplicable sense of depression.

"Parvis has praised you in front of me more than once, but now it seems that I still underestimated you."

Pausing what she was doing, Yara said, "But you ask too many questions, and I can't give you the answers."

"You should know that Rhine Life's organizational structure is very clear. The administrative department is a functional department, responsible only for providing support to the scientific research department."

"Whether it's the Originium Technology Application Department, the Energy Department, or the Structure Department, the Human Resources Department never interferes with the specific progress of any scientific research project. Besides... I'm not a scientist to begin with."

After saying that, Yara spread her hands and sat back in her seat.

The dangerous atmosphere suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"You did a great job at Base 359, cleaning up after Dorothy and tracking her all the way here to recover the transmitter. That's commendable."

"The matter of Base 359 ends here. What follows is beyond your authority and ability. You should not get involved anymore."

"Director Yara...what if I refuse?"

"Don't be nervous, I won't stop you. Whether you refuse or agree has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Hemer's alertness, Yara waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be nervous.

"I don't understand why you're helping me if you're not willing to tell me the truth."

After expressing his doubts and looking at Yara, Hemer finally decided to "confess".

"Do you remember your performance on the first day you started working?"

With her fingers crossed and her chin propped up, Yara looked at Hemer: "You were very reserved, but you still talked for half an hour."

"I'm actually only responsible for the basic background check and interview. It's just a formality. After all, Parvis already passed your business assessment with high scores."

"Then why didn't you interrupt me..."

Hearing Yara say this, Hemer's thoughts couldn't help but go back to when he first entered the Rhine.

She remembered her long speech.

At that time, she thought she had entered Rhine Life through the proper channels, but it turned out that someone inside was manipulating it...

"Because you're serious. You were involved in everything, including Hemer, the Balrog incident, the power struggle between Ferdinand and Muirseth, and the experimental accident at Base 359."

"If once is a coincidence and twice is an accident, what about three times?"

"I saw all the choices you made. I know them all. If this is just a disguise, then I was wrong."

"You have something they don't have... a bottom line, or perhaps humanity. That's why I'm helping you."

After taking a deep breath, Yara continued, "I respect every serious scientist, and Rhine Life respects every serious scientist. No matter how far Christen goes, no matter what Rhine Life becomes, it will only be young people like you who will take it over in the end."

"You are the future of Rhine."
