Chapter 696: NO．65：The shortcomings of an omnipotent being are naturally reassuring

NO．65：The shortcomings of an omnipotent being are naturally reassuring.

Don't you find it strange?

Of course, a two-day holiday isn't suitable for travel; Qianming's choice and Ludaofu's accompaniment feel off, but thinking of a day like Qixi...

I'm not asking that; I'm asking, don't you find it strange that they appear here?

Heaven Gate City was once a battlefield where Qianming and Ludaofu ran…… Ah, I understand your meaning; you're reminding me that this is like the nostalgic return of an old couple?

Sigh…

Are you sighing? Little Goat. Aomo glanced upward.

In others' eyes, there was nothing above.

But in his field of vision, there were always one or two tiny feet, swaying from time to time.

This also meant a peculiarly shaped little black sheep would constantly stand on his head.

Of course, it would occasionally be on his shoulder, or even hover in midair.

What's worth mentioning is that the little black sheep's voice is so familiar, so familiar that when it wells up from the heart, it feels just like his own voice from the past:

Perhaps? I actually don't quite understand why I'm sighing.

That's not strange; just a few days aren't enough to know this world, society, or even yourself.

But I know I am your reflection.

All that the moon's reflection in water inherits is merely light, Goat.

Light?

Yes, light.

Aomo turned his head, looking toward the girls who had all taken their seats in the distance.

Among them was a woman who, though young in age, always gave off an air of mature steadiness and dignity.

To anyone, she shone like a blazing sun, illuminating the four directions; yet he gazed at her from afar and lightly said, 'Even that moonlight is merely sunlight diluted by the moon.'

Having said that, he gave a slight nod to the woman, responding with the keenness of a Triple Crown Horse Girl as a source-energy practitioner.

The emperor's dignity extends beyond the racetrack and office; as the future head of the Symbolist family, Ludaofu Xiangzheng, who has undergone elite education since childhood, demands perfection in all things, a standard that even encompasses source-energy cultivation.

So I am not your reflection?

No, you certainly are, but only that part—just as the moon's shape reflected on water is not the whole moon.

Aomo calmly said, 'That is often merely one aspect, even a small part.'

Because I didn't copy all of your memories and knowledge?

No, in fact, Mr. Duoli would hardly be willing to let the hidden danger he extracted roam free; His not dealing with you proves you are merely 'light'.

Kindness and reason—these aspects are not likely to become a hazard, nor to upset Miss Adaier; at least, they won't make me want to oppose Him or endanger Miss Adaier...

"Just from the data gathered on the Rhode Island forum, his freedom is always mentioned; He might not worry about this much, but my reasoning leads to this result." Aomo said, turning his head to look at the counter where the procedures were completed and a light screen was drawn toward him.

After verifying facial recognition on that light screen, he prepared to return to his seat, continuing via telepathy:

"If it were you, how would you see it? Consider whether you are the medium through which He 'influences' and 'interferes' with my future path."

"If that's the case, does my earlier sigh mean you've gone astray?"

"Do you still remember that you once sighed before?"

"Even now, I still feel you ought to show reverence to the divine."

"You can keep—"

Aomo said this way, then actively cut off that silent mode of communication.

It's not hard to hear that the other wants him to reflect on something, but considering the other is an immature, deficient personality in both memory and thought, possibly even prone to collapse and reformation, this sudden interjection amounts to little more than a meaningless aside.

The value of referencing opinions…… perhaps it does?

Think of Ludaofu and Qianming, think of Miss Kong and Miss QieliNaina…… These two groups; the latter at least has a reason to meet offline with online colleagues, while the former's appearance is remarkably coincidental.

This overly peculiar coincidence cannot serve as a reason for the three to team up—since they've all met, why not just play together? —Even if Qianming proposed it, with Ludaofu indifferent, it still depends on whether Miss Kong and Miss QieliNaina cooperate.

Moreover, even setting those two aside, the Qian beside him is not someone who enjoys joining unrelated bustle.

But the result……

"Everyone's drinks have been ordered; did I miss any topic?"

Six people sitting opposite each other naturally form two sides of three; this necessarily means two will be separated. Looking at the fact that Aomo has just returned, it's obvious—the outermost empty seat, namely Aomo beside QieliNina, is facing the Qian opposite, and also looking toward Qian's side where Qianming and Ludaofu sit.

Finally, there's QieliNina beside him, and the rabbit-eared girl with golden hair and red eyes next to her.

The core staff of Penguin Logistics are all transmigrants from the same world; just as Texas has wolf-like traits that can be called 'wolf woman', Miss Kong's non-prop-like, freely swaying elongated ears unmistakably prove she is a 'rabbit'.

According to her hometown dialect, she is mostly called Cautus (Kates).

Corresponding to the Latin here, it means: vigilant, cautious.

This indeed matches the general traits of rabbitkind, and fits how Miss Kong, from the moment we met, has often fixed her wine-red eyes on me.

That scrutinizing, observing intent is utterly obvious to Aomo, even if the other tries to conceal it.

In terms of attitude toward coworkers, Miss Kong is clearly somewhat overreactive.

Aomo can't help but wonder whether Miss Kong is truly innately vigilant, or, like the original QeliNina, has a tradition of vetting new coworkers.

Considering her profession, it's natural for celebrity idols to be habitually vigilant—after all, they inevitably encounter obsessive fans, and if they've ever suffered something that left a shadow, it's all the more understandable.

As a regular courier for Penguin Logistics who becomes a bodyguard in emergencies and a counter-terrorist in sudden situations, Miss Kong's past life has likewise never lacked stimulation.

That said, although her gaze is often sharp, Miss Kong's manner of dealing with people is sufficiently friendly and gentle.

She even addresses Lineton by surname directly, making Aomo suspect she might just be shouting a call sign when greeting.

After all, Aomo and QieliNina alike casually treat their surnames as call signs.

Of course, doing this actually has a benefit to make up for—namely, Aomo's office is indeed called the Lintong Agency.

In a sense, it also counts as a promotional sign, even if it makes Penguin Logistics grumble.

Now, however, the rabbit woman wore a beaming smile.

It may not be an interesting topic, but even so, Linton wants to know, right?

That remark inevitably made Aomo chuckle.

An interesting person need only show enthusiasm in conversation to be full of charm; I believe you all possess that sense of humor.

Huh?

Miss Kong obviously hadn't expected Aomo's response; she was momentarily lost for words, whereas Qianming hastily waved her hands, glancing subtly at her old friend beside her: 'Um, you wait a moment…'

If you keep talking like that, Rudolf will get carried away with pride.

Ah, Qianming's poor opinion of her old friend is also quite lamentable.

Kong: '……'

Texas: '……'

Are you talking about a pun?" Qian turned her head and asked Aomo.

You, a Jidong person, are asking me?" the Bade person exclaimed in surprise.

Although everyone obviously understands Jidong language, Qian's behavior is still rather strange.

Of course, even more remarkable is Rudolf's sudden utterance of such a line.

It was enough to make the old friend beside her rub her forehead; when she felt slightly embarrassed from not getting the desired reaction, she then put on a stern face and said:

Hey, Rudolf.

Hmm?

Your cold jokes are always lame and chilly; I advise you not to tell them to others, lest you end up offending someone.

Huh? Is that so?" Whether it was because the blow was too great or because she had grown accustomed to Qianming's criticisms, Rudolf showed no shock or sorrow at such a blunt remark, merely blinking in surprise.

She then turned to Aomo: 'But Trainer Linton said my cold jokes actually put people at ease.'

Huh? You actually could say something like that?

Now the one who was shocked was Qianming, and even the others' faces showed similar bewilderment.

And that youth, without hesitation, admitted:

Exactly, I believe that for many people, a chairperson like this would make them feel more at ease.
