Lobotomy Corporation but with Simulation System?

"Netzach, where are you? As expected, it's here."

Pushing the door open, X saw the Safety Department Dean lying on the sofa looking at documents in an equivalently lazy way. And the documents on the desk were placed neatly. If excluding a few miscellaneous items of alcohol, they were a bit more in line with the rules on Malkuth's desk.

"Aye? Manager, you're not here on behalf of Angela to unexpectedly audit my report."

Unlike last time, Netzach did not take too much medicine this time, she seemed to be awake... But this is also natural, no matter how broken it is when doing public work, you can't get enough excitement.

"That's Angela's job, not mine. Today's work is miserable. Everyone in the Safety Department is very good."

"...I didn't do anything."

Having said that, Netzach's eyes stopped from beginning to end on the few beer bottles in X's arms, and X also noticed what Netzach was looking at.

"I brought you this. I don't know if you like it or not."

As X spoke, she handed the can of beer to Netzach, there were a few beers left, but they were placed on the table.

Lying on the sofa covered with Netzach, her head received the beer very quickly. She immediately adjusted her posture and changed to standing and sitting, and after receiving the beer, her attitude was somewhat reluctant and more dignified.

Open the hook on the beer, and because of the up and down vibrations, air bubbles appear at the moment the lid is opened, and the snow-white beer flakes stain your hands. Netzach didn't pay any attention, she just planned to take the beer and drink it all together.

It's like you don't need to take a breath to drink it all in one gulp, canned beer is just like that in one gulp.

X could see that Netzach's pale skin was starting to turn red, and she could also see that Netzach's expression had gradually changed to that lazy look.

X always felt like she was doing something dangerous, because she wasn't sure what she would do when Netzach stood up, so it was better to let her stay lazy on the sofa and rely on her.

"Angela took all my wine away!"

After drinking alcohol, Netzach's courage was much greater, and she started talking without thinking. At least X didn't dare to say this kind of thing. Even if she didn't say it in front of Angela, she still wouldn't dare to secretly say Angela's bad words.

Hearing Netzach begin to complain to Angela, X's face twitched and she began to stand up in fear. It's unclear whether Netzach will be punished or not, but if Angela punishes her, she will be punished.

So X unconsciously argued for Angela, hoping that Netzach might say a few annoying words.

"This is just because Angela doesn't want you to be late. Drinking alcohol in the middle of work can easily make mistakes... Netzach, Angela is still very concerned about Dean's health problems."

But X opened her eyes and said a lie, clearly not paying attention to the actual factors.

"Are you joking, Angela cares about Dean? Manager, if you are threatened, you should say it out loud, we are just a bunch of AI, what's the matter with our health?"

—— You guessed right, I was threatened by the AI Secretary, but I couldn't say it, I even suspected that the AI Secretary kidnapped me ——

X in her heart said badly in her heart, but she really could not say a case. X did not want to be punished by Angela. This was too absurd, to the point that she didn't even want to investigate the exact meaning of the punishment, what was the basis for the punishment by the AI Secretary.

"Netzach, if you close your eyes and seriously feel it, you will discover that... Angela is very gentle."

X felt like she was hiding her conscience while talking, but she had to say so.

But let go of the evil Secretary and the content inside the simulation, such as red laces and all. The behavior can be called gentle.

"Manager, your head may have been pinned by the elevator door of the Corporation... It's beyond reason."

And Netzach seemed to be so cruel by X's exaggeration of Angela's words that she closed her eyes and honestly speaking, she probably couldn't even feel the fart. Except for X, no one would consider Angela gentle.

Angela is the coldest and most ruthless AI in this building and is also a rational platform that only achieves purely mechanical goals.

Netzach accepted these steps and reluctantly shared with X some of her life experiences.

She did not want to get entangled in the question of Angela being gentle or not.

She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction...

"Manager, every time I close my eyes, I feel like I'm in another world..... I once belonged to that world, and at that time I still thought from within my heart to save her."

"But when I open my eyes, I'm still here. Death will come eventually, it's just a matter of time, so what's the point of wasting all your effort to avoid those things that inevitably happen? I don't have a future."

Of course, she knew that the woman in front of her with short black hair and sideburns wouldn't understand, because the woman in front of her, like her, was a coward who could only constantly hide.

The only difference is that she doesn't even have the same courage as this coward, this coward has also received... favor. But she could only watch from afar finally discovering that this coward not only well-protected the most precious treasure in the world. And that girl continuously destroyed one beautiful existence after another, turning all of this into Hell.

Netzach is a rare confused person and knows that she cannot be compared to a genius who is being treated poorly.

Netzach was an ignorant person, and she also knew that she could not compare with the genius.

Normally, people can only be angry, and resentful, but also jealous of geniuses. So what, if she had unleashed her authority, she could easily overwhelm the short black-haired woman in front of her.

"And you know what kind of experience makes you realize that every day you are playing a huge Russian Roulette bet? Moreover, this is a wild game with absolutely no winner... We are all stuck in the labyrinth of Crete."

"Ah… Speaking of labyrinths, can we build a beer vending machine? This vending machine doesn't sell beer at all. That's the only thing that can give me a little bit of happiness."

Speaking at this time, all the beer on the table had been drunk, and the empty water cans fell out seven or eight times.

Netzach's dark green eyes looked at Manager X, seemingly carrying a little bit of expectation, that is, she didn't hold on to expectations, just asked casually.

—— Agree to her request ——

—— Refuse her request ——

[ The simulations have started ——]

[Day—— At least bring a beer vending machine?]

[After you got off work, you decided to confide in Safety Department Dean. Although she couldn't be pleased, you could see the reluctance on her face to talk to you.]

[You and she don't get along very well. You talk a lot about your disagreements, but she doesn't care. She just wants a beer vending machine, and you are the Manager, as long as you approve, this place will be able to have a beer vending machine.]

[You refused her request, and brought Angela in, The Safety Department Dean was deprived of her right to drink beer]

[On your way home, you were stopped by Safety Department Dean. She told you that she had an important matter to discuss with you.]

[You were taken to the office by the Safety Department Dean, and you found out that the Safety Department Dean was more angry than you expected, and this wasn't just because of the beer]

[Your arrogant attitude angered the Safety Department Dean, Netzach resented you, and punished your arrogance...]

[Your mental state is erratic...]

[Achieved achievement — If I can't get it, then destroy it]

[Warm reminder: There is some personal dispute between Dean and everyone. Please pay attention to Dean's revenge. This is tacitly agreed by the Corporation.]

[Please choose this time's reward results:

1. Fortitude (+1)

2. Prudence (+1)

3. Temperance (+1)

4. Justice (+1)]

Although she didn't know why she and Safety Department Dean had a personal dispute. But X now knew that she had to satisfy Dean's little request, otherwise she would probably be retaliated like a detonator by the green hair in front of her.

Punishment... Ah, what kind of punishment is it? Isn't the person who is truly arrogant Netzach?

X has never felt arrogant, but Corporation AI and the Department Dean have the right to punish the Manager at will. Is this reasonable?

But why can even a Department Dean punish me...

—— No, I can't think like that ——

—— I'm the one who wants to learn more than the other person ——

X felt like she was experiencing all sorts of violent symptoms due to these punishments. Every time she saw the simulated punishments, she would feel uneasy and have erratic emotions.

Moreover, over and over again, I still can't vent my emotions, so I can only suppress them like this... and talk to others gently. The manager is elegant and polite and represents the image of the Corporation.

"Of course it's possible, it's just a beer vending machine, I agree."

X nodded and said yes, but her mentality was not in the right place. She just wanted to calm Netzach's emotions a little. If she could add a beer vending machine, it wouldn't be bad.

But Angela came in right now.

[Manager, you must know that we have a lot of employees like Netzach like this, please think first before making a decision!]

Angela spoke up and reminded X. She gently stroked X's sleeve and brought X to her side.

"Ah? Employees like me, Angela, are you referring to those guys who want to die with dignity?"

"... Look at you, when Angela came, she hid behind Angela, not daring to speak. Manager, you retreat like a coward. What a boring guy."

Netzach's eyes didn't look at X, but X felt like she was being hurt. Such sarcastic words were even more damaging than before, directly breaking X's psychological defense line.

—— Why am I so upset as Manager ——

—— Being bullied by the Secretary, being ridiculed by the Dean ——

This can't continue like this anymore...

"Angela, I... I still think about adding a beer vending machine."

X carefully grasped Angela's corner of her shirt, using a weak but not at all confident voice to express her opinion to her Secretary.

[Manager, do you think clearly? This kind of provocation is very clumsy.]

"One more vending machine for beer is nothing, Angela, just this one."

X observes that the Secretary's tone is not that stiff, which means there is hope... If she tries a little harder, maybe Angela can let go.

This is not to sell out but to show Netzach that she is not a cold-blooded person.

Even though it's simple, there's nothing majestic that can be said...

[Hey, Manager, if you can let Netzach make a promise that it won't affect work performance, I'll agree...]

[Or... You make a guarantee for Netzach, you take responsibility for her, and accept the punishment, it's also possible.]

Hearing Angela open up such conditions, X should think carefully. But X saw Netzach looking at her deeply, it was an expectant look, and then she gesticulated with her hands and feet, and then, immediately, she jumped up.

This method may be very cowardly, but sometimes it is very useful, at least X is successful.

"I promise, Angela, add a beer vending machine."

[Then sign your name here, then I will open a beer vending machine in the hallway, Manager]

X didn't look at it either, so without thinking she signed.

She didn't know why, this time it went very smoothly, the contract and pen immediately came out. As long as X signs her name, after X finishes signing, X will be taken out of the Safety Department office.

She didn't feel right... But after regaining her composure, X finally realized that she had been deceived.

If Netzach doesn't do well, she will bear the responsibility. Netzach will punish her. Isn't this...

[Manager, when do you plan to receive punishment?]

"Now… Now?"

X is afraid.
