But, as she checked, she suddenly frowned.
She picked up the file in her hand, wrote something on it, then turned around, ignored the researcher's call behind her, ran to the meeting room, and found the minister.
"Minister, the card needs to be replaced with a higher-level [lock]."
"Huh? Why?"
"The cards seemed to be trying to break free from the lock."
"Ah?" someone said impatiently, "Those cards are just cards, how could they try to break free? Besides, they are our company's products, how can they be so easy to unlock?"
Faust said nothing more, but continued to look at the minister.
Minister Justina shrugged and said, "Faust, don't be too nervous. Some researchers have discovered that the cards have changed. They said that it was the influence of the emotional energy of their original owners that remained on them.
A more advanced lock would require a lot of money, and applying for a more advanced lock would definitely require someone to approve it. I don’t want anyone to know what I’m doing at the moment.”
Justina shook her head, the answer was self-evident.
Faust was silent and she nodded silently.
He is reluctant to spend more money to protect his own interests. Even among gamblers, he is the worst one.
Faust has seen many such rubbish gamblers.
J-nests are everywhere.
She left the meeting room, and under the colorful neon lights, she saw a person not far away.
Meursault.
Normally, given their personalities, they wouldn't have anything to say even if they met alone.
But this time was different, this time Faust had other ideas.
"Meursault."
"Hello."
"Faust has noticed that you seem to be less and less willing to work with others recently."
“I will only complete the work assigned to me by the minister.”
"Really?" Faust nodded slightly, "I want to resign."
"Resign... Then I wish you can find a career and position that suits you as soon as possible."
"You're not interested?"
Meursault was stumped by Faust's question.
Faust had already made up her mind to resign, but at this moment, she was ready to fill in the blanks for Justina: "Faust can help you answer most of the questions you will encounter in your life.
Recently, Faust has noticed that you have been very confused. Even though you appear to be so calm and indifferent, you have been confused, confused about your life and your future.
Faust can help you answer that question."
"..." After listening to this, Meursault did not answer Faust again, but shook his head gently and said, "I have other work to deal with."
"Really? Then Faust congratulates you." Faust nodded and walked slowly forward.
Meursault is a robot who does everything he needs to do.
Even if he wants to resign, he must complete the work before resigning, find someone who can take over his position, and complete his work before the time specified in the work contract.
All your work.
When he says, "There is still work to be done," Faust knows that his action has been successful.
She didn't want to get involved in the rest of the matters, so she went to the Human Resources Department and submitted her resignation.
Speaking of which——
Although J Company appears to be closed, there are countless casinos operating in J Nest. Ordinary employees have to look at dozens of screens every day to see if anyone is cheating. But in fact, the "welfare" of J Company is already considered good among all the "wings".
Even the lowest-level ordinary clerk, who can only stare at the screen and be scolded by the minister every day, actually has a lot of rest time every day, and the lunch break is long enough for people to go out and find a mountain for a walk.
Because broadcasting is allowed, there are plenty of entertainment programs within J Nest. Although it is not very good because they are more or less related to "gambling", it is already easy compared to other companies.
After all, Company J really only wants your money.
Even before firing an employee, J Company would first conduct an internal investigation, list a bunch of documents, and then fire the employee. Although You Zhou had framed him, the process was quite formal, unlike the company next door, R Company, which fired employees without considering the specific circumstances.
Moreover, the "dismissal" from J Company was a real dismissal, not a dismissal in the sense of "wing".
As far as Faust knows, in the neighboring R Company, all the "fired" group soldiers ended up "death", and in the former L Company's Lobotomy Company, there was no "resignation" option, and choosing to resign was tantamount to choosing suicide.
Compared to this, Company J, where one can resign and leave with just sufficient documents, is, in a way, quite humane.
Things like organizing documents and submitting resignation letters are certainly not difficult for the clever Miss Faust. She has already made preparations and all she needs to do today is submit them to the human resources department at once.
When she resigned, the head of HR looked up at her strangely, then without saying a word, he handed her various documents very smoothly.
She resigned so easily and even retained her identity as "Yu".
As a price, she only needs to "lock" some secret information within the company.
This made her a little confused.
No, there seems to be something wrong.
She was very confused, but there was no way she could delve into it further, so she turned around and left under the other employees' dismissive looks.
Soon, this news also reached the ears of Justina.
"Minister, Faust resigned!?" Xiao Ka said in panic, "She is the only one who can use the machines she designed in the department, and no one has learned how to use them—
And she also needs to continue upgrading the emotion conversion device, right?"
He looked panicked.
One is You Zhou and the other is Faust. Two seniors left the company one after another for different reasons, which made the newcomer very nervous, fearing that he could not support the high walls of the department.
Justina just laughed and didn't mind.
An employee nearby said, "Xiao Ka, don't mind it. Haha, Faust is only good at talking, but he is a nobody at all."
Meursault remained silent and did not reply.
"Okay, Cam, go back to your work and don't miss anything. Meursault, go and take care of it."
"Yes." "Uh, okay!" The two people left one after another.
The only ones left in the office were Justina, Algila, and the department elite who had always been at odds with Faust and would go against her every time Faust opened his mouth.
"Minister, Faust has resigned. What should I do?" The elite was not as arrogant as before and looked very panicked. "Do you need me to apologize to her?"
After all, he was just a puppet, a puppet controlled by Justina.
"Hehehe..." Justina chuckled, "Don't worry."
Aljila seemed to recall something from the past, with a look of struggle on his face, and then he said, "In order to prevent employees who leave or resign from the company from leaking the company's internal secrets, all employees who leave the company need to [lock] themselves and block some confidential memories within the company."
"Yeah." The elite nodded.
[Everyone in J Company] will be like this.
Including - boat trips.
"Faust knows more than just some company secrets. She also knows a lot of secrets about me..." Justina smiled and lay down, half lying on the sofa, gently resting her hand on her cheek, and said, "So...her memory naturally needs to [lock] more things.
In fact… this isn’t the [first time] she’s resigned.”
Hearing this, the department elite widened their eyes and stared at their boss in amazement. They felt cold all over and countless cold sweats oozed from their backs.
Could it be——
He looked at Algila, whose face was calm, as if he had known it for a long time.
As expected, Algila said, "This is... the third time. Faust couldn't stand the constraints of the company and left."
The third time!?
"Hehe, you say you are a genius, but in the end, isn't he just a puppet in my hand?" Justina said with a smile. Her smile was very twisted and looked ferocious and scary. "That guy has all kinds of powerful knowledge. He can
Enough to provide me with countless benefits!
No matter whether it is her or that Zhao Ye, in the end they will fall into my hands and become stepping stones for me to reach a higher position!
When she leaves the company, the second [lock] I leave in her body will lock up all her memories of her time in the company. She will return to her own home in a daze, and then begin to explore her ridiculous problems, and finally can't help but try to find something more powerful - by then, Al, remember to invite her again, give her a separate test question, and let her come back again. "
"Yes." Algila's face was as gloomy as water, and he could only choose to respond.
Then, Justina looked at the department's [elite] and said, "By the way, don't forget to play your own [role] well."
"Yes, yes, yes!!" he shouted in horror.
Faust felt relaxed. Although he had forgotten some knowledge, since he chose to forget it, it meant that it was not an important matter.
Instead of these, I should be able to find some interesting topics to think about.
She walked out of the department building, the branch land, and the branch gate happily.
Then--
She was stunned.
The phantom of a golden steel chain swirled in her mind. A huge lock made a few click-click sounds, and then exploded completely, locking up something of hers.
She was at a loss and relied on instinct to walk back to her home.
At home, the symbols on the wall attracted her attention and made her want to think about it, but at this moment, she thought of another problem.
What...what's going on? This weird feeling of disharmony?
Me, what did I forget?
She couldn't remember it anyway.
[Lock], and it was a [Lock] far superior to those blocking cards. The advanced [Lock] blocked her memory, making it impossible for her to recall anything that happened before.
But she was extremely sure that she must have forgotten something, because the formulas on the wall had obviously been modified a lot.
She rubbed her forehead in agony, trying to recall but unable to.
This……
It’s [Singularity Technology].
this--
This is the true crushing of humans by Singularity Technology.
Even someone as smart as Faust would be unable to think clearly if he was being ambushed and restricted by more advanced singularity technology.
She only knew that she was definitely not normal now and that she must have fallen into some huge trap, but she was in the trap and could not observe this.
She struggled constantly, pressed her head, and rolled around in her own private room. After a while, she finally gave up thinking about this unthinkable problem.
First... should I solve these difficult questions around me? Maybe my previous self left some hints for me?
She looked around blankly and suddenly saw something strange.
Square, like a poker...card?
What's this--
She saw a card that was carefully embedded in the wall. The card was protected very delicately with several layers of protective shells. She couldn't bear the pain, so she held her head, leaned over, and gently pressed her hand on it.
The time magician...
When was this made?
She couldn't remember it anyway.
The prizes she had won in the back alley and in the Novice Contest were also forgotten by her.
But - when she took out the card, a strange bell sounded.
Tick-tick-tick.
Thump thump thump thump thump——
She noticed that all the watches and clocks in the room were spinning wildly!
Ding!
A clear sound was heard.
