When Luo Shu heard this, he said in a very casual tone: "Oh, I didn't tell you everything. The two speakers after your father were Patrick Sarah and Durandal." "Uncle Patrick and Dr. Gilbert Durandal?" Lux had impressions of the names that Luo Shu mentioned. One was her father's best friend, and the other was her father's follower. Well, she still couldn't understand why she directed the deaths of both of them. Could it be that Luo Shu came from a parallel world to the world she was in before? The parallel self became a terrible and ambitious person? The amount of information was so overwhelming that Lux sighed, revealing a distressed look. “I think we should stop talking about this. "Then tell me what you are going to do with me?" Luo Shu leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of the chair, and spoke in a casual tone. "No," Lux said firmly, "I will not issue any orders that are harmful to ordinary people who have done nothing wrong.
Absolutely not." At this point, Lux asked with a hint of doubt: "I feel like you, Luo Shujun, seem very uneasy?" "I'm uneasy?" Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, then his face looked strange and he said, "Do you think I look like someone who is uneasy right now?" Although it was a bit embarrassing, he was confident that he could escape from Lux Klein in an instant, and because he knew Lux's character well, he was also sure that there was a certain probability that the other party would not attack him. With double insurance, why would he feel uneasy? However, at this time, Lux said with certainty: ~ It's not because of me that I feel uneasy, but a deeper feeling, like being in a completely unfamiliar environment and not knowing whether I will encounter any danger. " This was the conclusion Lacus came to after reading the report on Luo Shu submitted by Tachibana Kirika and meeting him in person. Although Ju Wuxiang wrote in Luo Shu's evaluation report that she 'values the exchange of interests, and is willing to do equal work only when paid'. But after Lux met Luo Shu, she was more willing to understand this evaluation as a warning of "not wanting both parties to be too deeply involved and being ready to sever ties at any time." Lux even suspected that Luo Shu was constantly reminding herself that the two sides were in a "transaction of interests" so that she would not be in a difficult position to take action against Tachibana Kirika in the future when they became enemies. (Wang Lihao) This is why Lux said that Luo Shu was insecure. Facing Lux's eyes, Luo Shu opened his mouth, but finally chose to keep silent. Realizing that she had touched Luo Shu's heart, Lux did not continue to delve into the topic, but instead changed the topic that Luo Shu had been concerned about before: "Although it may make Luo Shujun suspicious, in fact, SDS allows members to withdraw." Hearing this, Luo Shu's expression became strange: "Are you sure you don't want to kill the donkey after it's done with its usefulness?" "I'm sure." Lux nodded with a smile. "No additional conditions?" Luo Shu asked again.
Lux was a little skeptical when she heard this, "Does it count as a suggestion not to violate the laws of the country you're in?" "Luo Shu was silent for a moment, then suddenly crossed his legs and said, "Sorry, I refuse to quit SDS private." "..." Lux looked embarrassed, and was a little bit amused: "So, that's why I said that you, Luo Shujun, have no sense of security!" Chapter 114 Luo Shu and Lux Although the words were sincere and without malice, Lux knew very well that Luo Shu was now doubting her motives. Lux was helpless about this. After all, she had no way to interfere with such personal thoughts. In other words, being able to interfere with other people's thoughts was what she thought was the most terrifying thing. "What I said before, 'SDS is allowed to withdraw', is still valid. If you change your mind in the future, you can always tell me." Hearing Lux say this, Luo Shu finally showed a hesitant look on his face: "Are you sure you are serious?" After saying this, Luo Shu suddenly thought of something and added, "It's hard for me to imagine that you would let me go." "Is it because of Kirika's behavior that you have this idea?" Lux's tone was full of affirmation. It can be seen that she seemed to be troubled many times because of Tachibana Kirika's behavior. "Kirika's desire for talent is the same as mine, but I have always disagreed with her approach." Lux said this, picked up the pink Hello on her lap, held it up and handed it to Luo Shu. "I think Luo Shujun should be able to guess that SDS is very short of manpower, right?" "I can guess it." Luo Shu nodded. This was not difficult to guess. It could be seen from the fact that SDS only had one branch stationed in the island country of Toudu and that they were considering setting up a branch 653 in Chiba Prefecture. It is understandable that a multinational company has only one branch in a country, but it is a bit hard to understand an organization like $/SDS that is dedicated to collecting abyss props. To put it bluntly, if you want to collect random things like Abyss Props, you must at least have offices in all major counties and cities on the island country, and if possible, even have people stationed in villages and towns. Simply put, Luo Shu's vision for SDS should be an organization similar to the "Post Office". Only an organization like the postal service can extend its influence to every corner of a country. But at present, it seems that SDS is at best an ordinary security company in the island country, let alone the postal service and without the help of American forces. In Tokyo, the city can still use the deterrent power of the garrison to control and contain the abyss props that appear in the area, but outside of Tokyo, the means that can be used are very limited. For example, in today's operation to contain the demons, there was a phenomenon of "using a cannon to kill a mosquito" in which garrison troops were dispatched to seal off the city. From this point, Luo Shu saw through the true and false of SDS. He is very capable, has a strong background, and sufficient logistics, but he has too few staff, and his sphere of influence is broad but loose within. From Luo Shu's expression (aeac), Lux knew that he had guessed SDS's weakness. She sighed softly and held up the round robot named Hello and said: “Although it has ample resources, SDS is actually an organization that Kirika and I founded when we were in our first year of college, and it has been in existence for less than four years.” "Wait a moment?" Luo Shu raised his hand to stop Lux from speaking, then looked her up and down and asked, "How old are you?" "Seventeen years old." Lux tilted her head and answered, "I was specially recruited into the university by three professors when I was thirteen. Is that weird?"
"It's okay. This method is very suitable for an adjuster." Luo Shu nodded, and in his heart he envied the adjuster's talent. After being interrupted by Luo Shu, Lux took a deep breath, adjusted her thoughts and continued: "Where were we just talking about? Oh, because of the frequent occurrence of the Abyss Descent phenomenon in recent years, with the help of my father, I have developed the 'Special Data Research Laboratory' that was originally only developed in Massachusetts into a 'Special Department' with offices throughout the United States and branch offices in major countries around the world. "But because of this, the manpower that was originally abundant has naturally become scarce." "Of course, this is also related to the way I select recruits." Screening method Luo Shu thought of Ju Wuxiang's somewhat threatening way of recruiting: "Are Director Tachibana and Ms. Lacus having a disagreement about manpower?" "Yes." Lux nodded slightly, without any intention of hiding her internal conflict. She held up the pink spherical robot Hello and handed it to Luo Shu, saying: "For example, this Hello in my hand is a person who meets the quality requirements of the Special Data Sorting Room (SDS)." Lux showed the Hello in her hand to Luo Shu, and then slowly moved it towards herself: “I hope that Hello will join SDS out of his own ideas and recognize my philosophy.” Lux said this and gently threw Hello out, and Luo Shu reached out to help her. "But Wuxiang believes that there is a shortage of 'Hello' now. Considering the demand, we should use the existing conditions to conduct universal screening and give priority to meeting the needs of people instead of the so-called 'concept approval' and 'following the inner thoughts'." "Quality faction and quantity faction..." Luo Shu sighed after listening. "Yes." Lacus said with helplessness on her face: "Kirika joined the SDS because she agreed with my idea of 'controlling and containing the abyss phenomenon and protecting the peace of the general public', but now she thinks that 'ideas' are not necessary." "Putting the cart before the horse." Luo Shu mentioned an idiom. Then he subtly complained in his mind: So SDS is a miniature SCP Foundation? We control! We contain! We protect? "Is this an idiom from the Celestial Empire? It's a very apt description." Lux smiled slightly, and the ear components of the Hello in her hand swayed along with her smile, as if responding. "So that's the reason you came to me?" Luo Shu had some guesses in his mind. Lux held up the Hello, and said with a somewhat apologetic tone: "Because Kirika has always told me that she has recruited excellent members in Toudou in her own way, so I am worried about your situation." “Are you worried that I will be forced to join in with resentment and then behave irrationally? Luo Shu could guess Lux's worry, but at the same time, his expression was a little depressed: "I didn't expect that they would catch me, a potential visitor from the abyss." Because there are quite a lot of travelers in this world, and they are generally called visitors from the abyss, Luo Shu doesn't mind exposing his surface identity.' "Yes." Looking at Luo Shu's depressed expression, Lux held back her laughter. "Ugh."
Luo Shu sighed and no longer cared about being exposed. Perhaps because Lux's attitude was gentle enough and both of them had similar "travel" experiences, he let down his guard a little: "I admit that I personally don't really like being a frontline 'firefighter'. Well, I value my life too much, and sometimes I wonder if I would refuse if Director Tachibana issues a mandatory order. "But at the same time, I don't reject the opportunity to gain benefits from the 'Abyss'. After all, having a gun in hand and not having a gun in hand are two different concepts. I "Can Miss Lacus understand this description?" "Understandable." Lux didn't say that Luo Shu was selfish or anything, because it is human nature. Human beings must hold guns to protect the lives they want to protect. She has always agreed with this statement. "So, I understand that Luo Shujun is willing to work for SDS, and in a safe and controllable situation, obtain the 'power' brought by the abyss, and pay attention to protecting himself and his family?" Lux tried to explain Luo Shu's idea, and then suddenly raised her hand and said: "Can you listen to my opinion?" Luo Shu nodded: "Can.". Chapter 115: Luo Shu who belongs only to Lux "I can understand why you don't accept Kirika's approach." In fact, it was because of this worry that Lux came to the island country from America. Because of Tachibana Kirika's personality, she is destined to let Luo Shu go to the front line frequently. In this process, the little trust between the two sides can easily collapse due to various dangers. This was something Lux realized before she came, and after she saw Luo Shu with her own eyes, she thought things were far more serious than she had imagined. Although Lux and Luo Shu had only had a brief contact, she could still tell that Luo Shu was the kind of person who had many secrets in his heart and was very insecure. This kind of personality was very beneficial to Luo Shu in this dangerous world, but it was not what a frontline person against the Abyss needed. What the frontline of the Abyss needed was a "soldier" who strictly followed orders and completed the mission with all his strength while ensuring his own safety. Given Luo Shu's character, hiding his strength and concealing his gains are almost inevitable behaviors, and such behavior will cause Ju Wuxiang to misjudge Luo Shu's situation. Based on Lux's understanding of Tachibana Kirika, as the department leader, she is bound to test Luo Shu to a certain extent in order to obtain Luo Shu's actual situation so as to arrange the work intensity of the department. These are huge problems that will lead to the collapse of internal trust. Fortunately, none of this happened, or rather, I noticed the problem before it happened. "I suggest that you separate the SDS branch in Tokyo and set up a department on your own, a department directly under me." "Of course, whether or not this department should obey my command is up to you." "Of course, if you don't like the term department, you can also change it to an action team, or form an office." "I will provide you with a certain amount of financial support and intelligence resources. Of course, I can also provide you with some abyss props, but because the demand from each branch in this regard is huge, I may not be able to provide you with very powerful props. "As for Kirika, I will be the one to communicate with her. It just so happens that the demons we captured this time need certain measures to protect them, and the 'Demon's Heart' you hold, Luo Shujun, can provide some restraint." "Under such circumstances, it would not be too offensive for Wuxiang to ask Luo Shujun to set up an independent department to guard the 'demons'. Upon hearing Lacus's 'suggestion', Luo Shu's expression froze for a while, and then he said with a strange look on his face: "If I didn't know your character, I would probably suspect that you had impure motives. "No, judging from the situation on my end, I should probably doubt whether I hypnotized you with the 'Devil's Heart'."
"...This? I always carry an Abyss Item to defend against mind control." Lux tapped the Hello ball gently, and it snapped and split in two, revealing the small compartment inside. In the small grid, a pure white pearl that is more than five centimeters in size is spinning like a dragon ball. “Look, this is it, so please don’t worry about my safety. Luo Shu looked at Lux with an innocent smile speechlessly, "Am I worried about your safety?"
