Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Very Good, Very Spirited_1

Fengling had another sleepless night.

She wasn’t sure if she had really arrived at Benevolent Prosthesis Hospital, so everything she saw was different from the entries described on the website.

The fog soon dissipated, and after she returned to her apartment, she told Father Bruno about her experience. However, he expressed his inability to help, as he had never encountered a similar situation with any "Adventurer" before. But he did mention that a faction of "Adventurers" proposed that what people often see in the fog may be a projection of their innermost thoughts.

But...

Polick psychic syndrome?

She had never heard this bizarre name before, and she couldn’t find any information about this condition online.

"Are you alright?"

The concerned inquiry interrupted Fengling’s thoughts. As she looked up, she saw Song Lan, who had somehow arrived at her door without notice.

Perhaps because she was lost in thought, she hadn’t heard any footsteps and didn’t notice how he had approached. For a guard, this was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.

"You don’t seem to be in a good state of mind. Are you having trouble adjusting to Sector 17?"

"No..."

Fengling quickly shook her head; she didn’t want everyone to know about spending a night in the prosthetic hospital and being treated like a Cyber madman by the medical staff. If those bio-pharmaceutical companies thought her mental state was compromised, her trip to Sector 17 might be prematurely terminated.

While the Review Meeting had assigned her this mission, she had also signed some agreements before departing, which included a clause that if the bio-pharmaceutical companies believed she was influenced by the Void, leading to an abnormal mental state, she would automatically enter the recovery process.

Nominally, it was all for her own good.

Suddenly remembering something, she rubbed her face with her hands and, trying to muster some energy, asked, "Do I look very pale?"

"A little."

"Then... do you know of any way to make me look more spirited?"

Today, was the day she had to undergo psychological and physical evaluation at the bio-pharmaceutical company. She had almost forgotten.

According to the agreement, the evaluations had to be conducted weekly. If any issue arose with either of them, her mission would be terminated immediately, and the company would send her back to Sector 2 for treatment. Someone else would take her place to ensure Lu Xiang’s safety.

This was the greatest compromise the bio-pharmaceutical company had made in the face of the Review Meeting’s orders.

"I know, but are you sure you’re okay?"

"I’m fine. Just tell me the method."

"Alright... just wait a moment, I’ll call a friend."

That morning, comrade Valerian from the psychological counseling department received an important mission. Before lunchtime, she had rummaged through her belongings, gathered all her equipment, and resolutely set off for the rescuer service center.

Zhuang Chi and Roger watched her leaving figure, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"She’s holding a makeup bag, isn’t she?"

Zhuang Chi rubbed her eyes, asked uncertainly.

In her view, Valerian’s demeanor didn’t seem like she was going to do makeup but rather looked as if she was on a secret mission, carrying explosives for a potentially suicidal task.

"Yes, it’s a makeup bag."

Roger nodded his head and said inarticulately.

...

Moments later, in the rescuer service center’s break room, Song Lan and two others entered the room, creating a heavy atmosphere.

To ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Song Lan forced a smile and explained, "This is Valerian from our department, a makeup expert with several love experiences under her belt. She’s proficient in all sorts of styles, whether it’s cute, girlish, or mature, she can handle it all with ease!"

The break room remained silent. Perhaps it was just an illusion, but Song Lan felt the mood had grown even heavier.

Valerian stood behind him, trembling all over, clenching her right fist as if she wanted to punch someone.

Maybe she was reminded of her unreliable ex-boyfriends.

"She’s been in several relationships, but why a makeup expert?"

Fengling couldn’t figure out the logic behind it and asked curiously.

"Because, love is war, you have to learn to arm yourself from all angles."

Valerian said with a straight face, suppressing the urge to smack Song Lan on the back of his head, she spread out the prepared makeup tools on the table.

These makeup products, whose names Song Lan couldn’t recall, dazzled him, but he knew that Valerian was about to showcase her real skills.

Valerian cleared her throat, she immediately saw the problem with Fengling, "Have you been staying up late recently?"

"Yeah."

"What kind of makeup do you want?"

"Just something that makes me look more energetic."

Song Lan witnessed the entire makeup process by the side, and no matter how many times he appreciated it, it always gave him a strong sense of shock.

Fengling’s request was simple, she just wanted to look more spirited, but of course, that wasn’t Valerian’s goal. If it was only about covering dark circles or giving a pale face some color, it would not live up to her status as a master makeup artist, much less since she was sitting in front of a Five Stars rescuer with an astonishingly good foundation. Perhaps she might never get the chance to do makeup for a Five Stars rescuer again in her life.

The process was quite long, and not until Song Lan’s feet started to feel sore from standing did Valerian finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "There, you look energetic enough now."

Song Lan thought she was absolutely right.

Fengling now not only looked spirited but also seemed ready to go on a talent show.

If one were to express the effect of this makeup with some practical data, he conservatively estimated that if a photo of Fengling were to be circulated, it would immediately increase her national support by 15%.

"... Isn’t this a bit too much?"

Fengling pursed her glossy lips coated with lipstick as she faced the mirror, she could hardly recognize herself.

But before Valerian could speak, the person who had come to pick her up entered in an extremely impolite manner.

The entrant was nearly three meters tall, dressed in a dark blue, oversized coat, he pushed the door open almost violently, completely ignoring the one-star rescuers who were inquiring about his identity behind him, entering as if nobody was there, positioning himself in a way that blocked Song Lan and Valerian, with his gaze solely focused on her.

His skin was pale to the point of being colorless, and from the exposed parts, faint deep blue veins could be seen.

He was not admiring Fengling’s makeup, his stiff features showed no trace of emotion, looking like a emotionless killing machine.

At the second district, Fengling had seen many similar people.

Height, dress, and even their appearance looked very similar. They often were the bodyguards employed by bio-pharmaceutical companies, who never spoke unless necessary, and if someone tried to strike up a conversation with them, they would just be ignored.

They wore the logos of their respective companies on their chests to indicate their identity and affiliation.

Until now, Fengling was not sure if they were truly human.

"There are 20 minutes left until the scheduled time, we have your private car ready."

The tall man said in a no-nonsense tone—typical of their way of speaking.

"I understand."

Fengling nodded, taking a last glance in the mirror.

Though not quite used to it, she at least looked very energetic.

After the two left, Valerian’s demeanor changed completely, her eyes sparkling, "Zhuang Chi must be dying of regret now. Who would have thought we’d meet a ’Guard’ here?"

"Guard?"

"They’re the security personnel mass-produced by bio-pharmaceutical companies, bodyguards you can absolutely trust. I remember the selling price for a ’Guard’ is over 600,000 val!"

"600,000 val!?"

Song Lan exclaimed in shock—that could almost buy a Chai Ke!
