Chapter 488

【Maybe it's something related to the O5s. Who knows?】

【The point is, if she wants to quit, I think she should make that choice.】

Lu Ke looked into the girl's eyes, trying to find the answer in every pixel.

Before Sophia came, he had already looked at Charlotte's file.

No matter what project the director was planning, she couldn't be indispensable.

But that's the strange part.

She only had a decent resume, but it hadn't reached an incredible level.

——Just an ordinary woman who wanted to transition to a new job.

【Please, dear. Don't let her go through this.】

The blue-haired girl looked pitiful, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Lu Ke with big, watery eyes.

That look could make Blackie loyal to death, and could make Tom the cat sell his soul for it.

It hit Lu Ke's target perfectly, making his heart almost melt.

He nodded at a speed that only a technological eye could detect.

She was right.

Lu Ke thought while retreating from the shelf.

Use some of your patented IT nonsense.

"Oh, due to ongoing maintenance, there's a bit of a malfunction now."

He stood up, dusted off his pants with extreme seriousness, looked up, but found that he was the only one in the server room.

"Wha……" The words were swallowed back.

He looked around for the missing director, but found nothing: Sophia Light was gone.

Just at this moment, the sound of high heels "click-clack" came from the other end of the corridor.

Lu Ke turned to look, only to see Sophia holding a large Manila folder, walking out from the corner.

Sophia looked at Lu Ke's wrinkled shirt, raised an eyebrow, and then packed the folder.

"While you were working, I went to look at the paper records next door," she said.

"I found Charlotte Deneb's address and email address, along with other details."

"Thanks for the help, but I think I've got it handled."

After speaking, she turned and returned the way she came.

Leaving Lu Ke standing in the Site-81 server room in dusty casual pants, still carrying a sense of unfinished justice.

"Okay……"

"Fuck!" He muttered to himself.

The whirring sound of Alex's fan indicated her agreement.

……

That afternoon……

When Sophia's car crossed the black soil of the border, an unusual feeling surged in the bottom of her heart.

Something was coming.

At first, it was an understanding, a realization of what was about to happen.

Soon.

It turned into an ocean, waves of spirit rushing toward her, submerging the cab of the transport vehicle.

Suffocation, powerlessness, pain, floating.

She reached into the bag on her lap, rummaging for the medicine bottle.

But found nothing.

The tide rose higher and higher, rising to her shoulders.

Sophia took a breath, dived into the water, and reached into the cloth bag until she touched the plastic cap.

She brought the bottle to her mouth, but it instantly passed through the bottom of the car, falling toward the depths of the world.

Like falling into the darkness of something else's mind.

This water had an unknown essence, but had the same coldness, weak water flow, increasingly powerful water pressure, numb and stinging.

Bubbles escaped to the surface, extremely noisy, and there was the sound of water surging in her ears.

Light from the sun pierced the surface, casting columnar veils, but it was increasingly distant.

Fall.

Fall.

Submerged, drowned, lost in the torrent of the soul.

Until, she saw an island.
