Serie really wanted to blurt out "I do," but she still calmed down.
Maintain composure, after all, a delicate girl who had been tormented by the Control Bureau for so long couldn't possibly be so excited about joining the Control Bureau.
"You can take your time to consider, but I need to take you back to your new room now," Lynette said. "The Control Bureau's medical resources are quite strained; your bed here will be used by a Soldier whose head was clamped by B-1156 during a mission."
After she finished speaking, she turned to the three people in the corner, her voice instantly dropping:
"You three, go back and reflect properly, especially Jared. I've always taught you that gaining an anomaly's trust will make your research twice as effective, but not for you to do such despicable things."
"I'm sorry… Doctor…" Jared trembled.
Lynette stopped talking nonsense, put slippers on Serie, took her hand, and started walking out.
Jared and the other two were stunned.
Comparing oneself to others truly makes one furious.
On Serie's side, her vision was completely dark, and she could only let Lynette lead her.
Seriously… she had originally wanted to give Lynette some attitude; how dare this woman use her as a substitute?
But now… Serie, let alone the unbearable consequences of showing attitude, even with half her face wrapped in bandages like a mummy, even if she contorted her face, no one would see it anyway…
Just a few steps out of the ward, a man's wail suddenly rang out: "Ah, ah, hurry up and take it away, my head!"
"Calm down, we're trying, don't make it angry, or it won't let go…" a female doctor's voice sounded.
"I am relaxing, but can you guys be gentler? Don't just pull it out!" The man cried out in despair: "Wuwuwu, that's my damn head! That's my head! Don't pull it hard!"
Serie's ears under the bandages instantly perked up, her gossip soul burning fiercely.
She really wanted to see what had happened.
What exactly was B-1156, that it could clamp a human head like a walnut?
She really wanted to lift the bandages and take a look! It was killing her!
Back in the new room, although Serie couldn't see anything, she could clearly feel that it was much more spacious.
"I've moved all your luggage here and bought you some new clothes," Lynette's meticulous care left Serie unable to find any fault: "You don't have to wear that anomaly uniform anymore."
"Ah, that's great!" Serie's voice was joyful; she finally didn't have to wear that conspicuous patient gown anymore.
However, she was outwardly delighted but inwardly still calculating.
No, she must find an excuse to make things difficult for Lynette, otherwise, wouldn't all the resentment from being a substitute for so long be for nothing?
"The room is fully equipped with appliances, including air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a television," Lynette continued.
"Television?!" Serie almost sprang from the bed! Her eyes under the bandages widened!
Wow!
Finally, she wouldn't have to stare blankly at a wall anymore!
Her ecstasy lasted less than a second—
The darkness before her eyes was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head.
Damn it! How could she watch anything wrapped up like this?!
Serie felt a wave of depression.
After bidding farewell to Lynette, who had other things to attend to, Serie sprawled on the bed, her vision an endless darkness.
In her boredom, she "looked" into the depths of her consciousness—
The good news was that she could still see her virtual panel.
Perhaps when bored, she could entertain herself in the "Witches" interface, admiring the witches' stunning beauty.
High-definition, uncensored, 360° rotatable, showcasing their current status, the witches' "3D models" were right before her eyes.
These three witches had distinctly different styles, but each one was a feast for the eyes.
The witch race, it seemed, was thoroughly a beauty-based organization.
However, there was a new quest update, so Serie switched to the "Quests" interface.
[Main Quest: Understand Your Enemy]
[Objective: Respond to Lynette whether you want to join the Control Bureau]
[Reward: Refuse to join, Ability Point * 1; Agree to join, Rebirth Count * 1]
This quest was quite good; not only was it easy to complete, but there were rewards no matter which option she chose.
The only regret was, couldn't she both agree and refuse?
By then, she wanted both rewards!
