Chapter 480: Radio Station, Shadow Prison, Blood Disaster!

~6 min read 1,121 words

At this moment, everyone present was a little bewildered.

Seeing that, Yang Qi took the initiative and suggested,

"Let's sit down and talk."

The middle-aged policeman actually wanted to stay and listen, after all this was the legendary Anomaly Management Bureau, but he still had official duties to carry out, so he chose to leave early.

Yang Qi sat down on the sofa, and Yun Qian Yue sat beside him.

Chen Jianbin and Su Qing each brought over a chair and sat down, wanting to hear what was going on.

After listening to Yang Qi's explanation, they couldn't help but cast puzzled looks at him.

Su Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke,

"Are you saying that if someone has affection for you, then that person is very likely a non-human? Isn't that a bit too absolute..."

But at least in this case, my judgment was correct, wasn't it?"

He glanced sideways at Yun Qian Yue as he finished speaking,

"Can you show me your transform device?"

Yun Qian Yue hesitated almost not at all, and pulled a pink transform device out of her small backpack.

Yang Qi looked at the device and saw the dialogue box on it:

[I'm sorry, it's my fault. If only I had made the wish earlier...]

I see.

It looked like the entity currently occupying Yun Qian Yue's body was the transform device, while the real Yun Qian Yue was inside the device.

After mulling it over for a moment, he asked,

"Can you let her out?"

For the first time, Yun Qian Yue refused his request,

"No. If she comes out, she'll break."

At first Su Qing and Chen Jianbin didn't fully understand the exchange between them, but gradually they seemed to realize something.

Pointing at the transform device, Chen Jianbin excitedly said in a tone like Conan solving a case,

"I get it. The real Yun Qian Yue is in the transform device, and the one controlling this body is actually the device. So Wish Vessels really have souls? Then my Knight's Belt..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Su Qing complained, then suddenly smacked the back of Chen Jianbin's head,

"Alright, quiet. Listen to what Yang Qi says first."

Yang Qi had begun to suspect what Yun Qian Yue meant by "break."

From the dialogue box's content, the real Yun Qian Yue was very likely trapped in a state of intense self-blame,

perhaps regretting that she couldn't save her mother.

If she had transformed earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Under these circumstances, letting the real Yun Qian Yue come out might not be a good idea, because as a player she still had to go through the dungeon run's trials.

It's already the next day, and Yun Qian Yue can still stand here peacefully, which means the transform device must have helped her complete the Newbie Trial.

Thinking practically, keeping the real Yun Qian Yue inside the device to sort out her emotions, gradually mature, and letting the device handle the dungeon run to give her time to grow is the most rational and correct approach.

Provided the transform device is trustworthy and has no intention of supplanting Yun Qian Yue.

After all, not everyone would be willing to trust a non-human.

After Yang Qi shared his judgment with Su Qing and Chen Jianbin, the two of them fell silent at the same time.

From a rational standpoint, it's definitely better to have the transform device face the dungeon run than a fourteen-year-old girl.

But what if, over time, the real Yun Qian Yue gets stuck inside the device and can't come out?

Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help scratching her head in distress, and finally chose the smartest course of action:

call the director and ask for his opinion.

After all, the girl was brought here by the director; he surely had a solution.

The call was connected quickly.

After Su Qing explained the whole situation, Wang Hao sounded shocked,

"What do you mean the little girl I kept company with all night yesterday wasn't human?"

Hearing that, Su Qing immediately couldn't hold back,

"Director Wang, you didn't know?"

"If I had known, I would have called you in advance! Last night was too busy. After I collected Yun Qian Yue's information, I had Old Pang bring her to the bureau, and then we escorted Lin Weier on her way."

Su Qing pressed her fingers to her forehead in helplessness at that,

what kind of makeshift operation were they running here?

Well, the team had only been established for less than two months, so of course it was makeshift.

In the end, Wang Hao left a message saying he'd handle it when he returned and then hung up.

A helpless smile appeared on Su Qing's face; she really had run out of options.

Given the current situation, doing nothing might actually be the correct choice.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Yang Qi lower his head, stare into "Yun Qian Yue"'s eyes, and then ask,

"One last question, what's your name?"

"Yun Qian Yue" cocked her head slightly, momentarily confused.

Wasn't the answer to that question already known?

After thinking for a moment, she answered,

"Yun Qian Yue."

Yang Qi shook his head when he heard that,

"No, not that. I want to know your name."

"Yun Qian Yue" didn't expect him to ask such a question. In his eyes she should be a device, so why would a human ask a device's name?

When she lifted her head, she met a pair of earnest eyes.

The instant she saw those eyes she understood.

The human before her neither regarded her as a device nor as a menace, but as a

"peer."

Strange as it was, a human actually considered a non-human to be a peer.

Newly born, she couldn't understand why he would do so, and she could only answer instinctively,

"Luluka, Magical Girl Luluka, that seems to be my name."

Hearing that, Yang Qi ruffled her head,

"That's a very good name. Luluka, could you promise me one thing?"

"What?"

"Protect the child in your care. She is my peer too."

Feeling the unwavering look in his eyes, Luluka nodded lightly and then replied,

"Okay."

Watching this, Su Qing probably understood why non-humans might be fond of Yang Qi.

.......

Because Wang Hao hadn't returned today, after the three discussed it they decided to temporarily let Luluka and Su Qing stay for a while until Wang Hao returned.

Although Luluka was quite unwilling, she accepted after Yang Qi persuaded her.

After returning home,

Yang Qi, after a long time, opened the game system.

He planned to start the next dungeon run.
