Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1468: Are Humanoids Heartless and Items Meaningless?

Once the words "Hire a Level 4 employee" were spoken, Lily's fate was sealed.

Lin Sanjiu felt a tingling sensation on her skin but took another steady step as if she had heard nothing, moving forward in the corridor. The next few muffled words from Lily trailed off before reaching her ears. She only caught the word "guach." She resisted the urge to turn towards the source of the soft noise.

'Gauch? What's that?'

She took another step. After a short while, the office behind her quieted down. Before the appearance of the Level 4 employee, Lily wouldn't leave her office to capture the Artist. Lin Sanjiu had four more minutes to strategize and rehearse her next moves in her mind.

The plan was risky, but it seemed workable.

By the time she reached the end of the corridor, she was out of Lily's line of sight. Lin Sanjiu quickly glanced over to see the Artist retreating behind a wall. She casually turned around, perfectly timing her return. She even heard a sigh of relief from Lily's office. So far, everything was going according to plan.

However, she then heard the Life Coach speak.

"I believe in you. With your potential, you can surely find a way out of this seemingly unsolvable situation..."

Seriously?

Lily was really not shy about using the Life Coach right away, especially when its former owner was still wandering around. Could it be that what she heard as "gauch" was actually a part of "life coach"?

Lin Sanjiu quickly approached the closed door and whispered, "Life Coach?"

She hadn't considered this possibility before, but now, with the mention of the Life Coach, a concern arose: What if the Life Coach completely forgot about its former owner after being transferred?

Lin Sanjiu's subconscious seemed a step ahead. Suddenly, Mrs. Manas said, "If he truly forgot about you, then there's nothing to worry about. You should be concerned if he hasn't."

'What?'

Almost as if to confirm this notion, there came an awkward cough from behind the door, followed by Lily's low voice, "Given your understanding of her, what should I be cautious about in my current situation? Are there any traps?"

Lin Sanjiu stood by the door, stunned, coming to a realization.

After Lily finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and both of them waited for several seconds before hearing Lily's slightly embarrassed voice say, "Is this enough for you?"

"It's enough."

The Life Coach accepted without any refusal. A few seconds later, probably after destroying the item, he said, "Although my former owner is bold and unafraid of risks, leaving the office unattended for an hour is rather reckless. Even she might find it hard to imagine doing such a thing. Since you haven't personally seen the concealed office, the truth of her statement is uncertain. Therefore, I believe there's a high possibility that there's a trap in the current situation."

'Shut up!'

Lin Sanjiu finally understood why Bohemia would constantly swear. In this helpless situation, all that came to her mind were strings of curses. Items are just items, unreliable, turning their backs without recognition.

"What kind of trap might it be?" Lily inquired.

Frantic, Lin Sanjiu momentarily forgot to move away from the blinds. Because of this oversight, her plan wasn't completely exposed. The blinds were slightly separated by fingers, revealing the eyes of the Life Coach. At the same time, she heard the soft sound of the Artist's drawing board tapping against his back from around the corner.
