When the first generation of Rum worked for the boss, the boss was already very old.

With the failure of the research and development of Drug A, the leader of the organization should have disappeared from this world over time.

But the traces he left behind were enough to make everyone in the organization tremble with fear for him.

Even the current Rum only met the boss when he was very young. Now that he appears here, it means that he also wants to find the boss hidden behind the scenes by searching his previous memories.

Lancer crossed his arms and said, "Could it be that Rum always believed that the drug could really bring people back to youth? That's why he firmly believed in the existence of the boss."

Gin was also undecided and said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look first and then talk."

The two of them once again focused their attention on the big screen in the institute. The content displayed there was still Rum's past memory world.

The boy's perspective was a bit short, so he could barely see the important faces involved in the conversation.

The gentleman he called boss just raised his hand gently, and Rum walked in front of him.

It could be seen from that hand that the boss was old. He touched Rum's head and handed him a badge.

It was the status symbol of the Karasuma family, and the black crow paint on it reflected light, making it particularly eye-catching.

Lancer crossed his arms and looked dissatisfied: "Didn't I say that only people from the Karasuma family can get this thing? Why does he give it to others as if he doesn't need money?"

Gin glanced sideways, and Lancer could only gesture with his hands and said, "Okay, I'll shut up."

At that time, Rum was very happy when he got the badge. When he thanked the boss, his tone was full of excitement and excitement that could not be concealed.

"Thank you sir for your trust in me, I will become your most loyal believer..."

The young man on the screen was swearing to a vague old man, and it was foreseeable that he would become the organization's boss's most capable assistant.

This is indeed the case. Rum has made a lot of contributions to the organization since he took over the second-in-command position.

It’s normal to have some selfish desires of your own in this life.

While Lancer was sighing secretly in his heart, he suddenly heard a clear girl's voice appear from the screen.

Although it only passed by in a hurry, that beautiful and charming face gave people a very familiar feeling.

"Sir, can I listen to you tell me a story today?"

A flash of bright gold flashed across the screen.

And then, it all came to an end.

The picture on the big screen was suddenly cut off, and Rum also woke up from his cocoon and stood up silently.

He and Professor Kataoka stood aside and said something, but no one seemed to be able to hear them clearly.

Gin pulled Lancer to hide in the dark, and soon saw Rum leading people through the researchers, walking into the elevator and leaving the underground research institute.

"Did something just happen?" Lancer narrowed his eyes and secretly tugged on Gin's sleeve.

But Gin remained silent, seeming to be thinking about something.

Not long after, a group of guys wearing black clothes and sunglasses said something to Professor Kataoka, and they moved Cocoon away from here.

Haya, who originally only received the order to retreat, suddenly discovered that these people were tampering with them in the research institute, and immediately led others to conflict with them.

The research institute was in chaos, and the gas canisters that had been secretly placed were opened. Almost at the same time, the evacuees put on gas masks and left quickly.

And Haya died in the research institute together with those people.

"Are we going to die too?" Lancer sniffed and couldn't smell anything. "Okay, I asked a stupid question."

What happened in the underground research institute ends here.

To Lancer and Gin's surprise, Haya rushed to an unoccupied workstation before he died, picked up the calendar clock placed next to the workbench, and held it tightly in his hand.

Then he fell to the ground.

This location looked familiar. Lancer glanced at the calendar clock in his hand and said in surprise: "The body we just collected is Haya?"

Gin turned the lighter in his hand and said calmly: "I didn't notice that his face has already begun to rot."

"Oh, you can't blame us then."

I didn’t expect that Sayaya was already dead, so no wonder I couldn’t get in touch with him before.

"Rum's behavior is obviously to silence people." Lancer rubbed his chin and thought, "What happened just now that made him have to kill so many people?"

Hearing Lancer muttering, Gin turned and left, not wanting to stay in such a miserable and cold place.

I originally thought that this memory would end here.

But after they left the underground research institute, their clothes suddenly changed and they were both dressed like noble men from rich families, which made them a little confused.

Lancer stared at Gin's rare white suit, his mouth watering with greed.

"When you go out, you must change into a white formal suit like this and show it to me." Lancer stretched out his hand to touch Gin's thigh, decisively touched the bulge of the shirt clip, and smiled.

Gin looked at the dark green tight-fitting dress he was wearing and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Maybe red is better, it suits you better."

"Really? I think this color is pretty good." Lancer bent his eyes and smiled: "It's the color of your pupils. It seems like you are watching me."

Gin looked away unnaturally and snorted.

Suddenly, a voice that shouldn't be there sounded in both of their minds at the same time.

[System: I heard you two being annoyed when I first came in. Is it too late for me to exit now? 】

system?

Can it be connected to the system of Zero World?

[System: Well, I just went to the Lord God for maintenance and upgrades. Even in such a virtual world, we can still provide services to the host and sharers! 】

Listening to its gruff tone, Lancer looked around the surrounding environment and said, "Then can you help us judge what the current situation is?"

They were clearly still in the underground research institute just now, but when they came out of there, it was as if they had changed to a different world.

Currently they are located in a luxurious city, and some buildings are even built to the sky and sit suspended in the air.

Various aircraft were flying overhead like flies, and various strange lights flashed. The whole place exuded a cyberpunk atmosphere.

This feeling makes Lancer feel like he has returned to the doomsday era.

It's just that the style of the doomsday era is decadent, but everything here is full of vitality.

[System: This is the real "zero world". Because Cocoon retains some data of the host and the sharer, you were not imported here at the beginning. 】

Lancer seemed to understand something, "So we just had a bug?"

The system was silent for a moment.

【You can say that. 】
