Lobotomy Corporation but with Simulation System?

[Good morning Manager, you look really good today.]

On the morning of the second day, X was woken up by Secretary AI. God only knows how panicked she was when she opened her eyes and saw Angela. Scary to the extreme!

That face of the intelligent AI was very scary to X, especially when she was looked at by the intelligent AI, she felt...not good.

"Good morning, Angela."

X got out of bed to change clothes and wash her face. 7:30 is a very good time, a good morning usually begins from this time.

Scan the card, take a cup of coffee go to the Manager's room, figure out the day's plan, then receive the AI intelligence and Department Dean's arrangements for her mission.

['Face the fear, Build the future'. That is the motto of our Founder, the one whom we refer to as 'A', what part of the motto do you prefer? Don't be nervous, I just want to understand your point of view a little bit.]

The dignified AI Secretary threw a question at X. X listened and then unconsciously added two cubes of sugar to her coffee, then stirred it up. The Lobotomy logo flashed in her sight, which meant she had many opportunities to choose.

—— Face the fear?——

—— Build the future?——

[ The simulations have started ——]

[Day 2—— Founder's motto ]

[Lobotomy Corporation slogan is the Founder motto, as a Manager needs to consider the Corporation Founder's intention, when AI asks you about the motto at the time, you answer 'Build the future' without thinking twice.]

[The intelligent AI you observed frowned, she seemed disappointed in you and then began explaining the current human situation. Either accept it, or forge a completely different future for your own goals, and Lobotomy Corporation's intention is exactly like that.]

[You keep quiet about this, and don't care what Corporation's intentions are, you just want two more sugar cubes in your coffee]

[Your perfunctory attitude causes dissatisfaction with the AI intelligence, the AI punishes you, and your mind becomes erratic]

[You have been stripped of your qualifications as Manager...]

[Achieving achievements —— None of my business!]

[Warm reminder: Maintenance attitude towards the Corporation is necessary]

[This time there is no reward, please try harder]

X unconsciously frowned, stopped stirring the coffee, and put aside the bottle of sugar that she had just opened.

"If you let me choose... I prefer 'Face the fear' the choice, first face it, conquer fear, only then can Build the future."

X took a sip of coffee, without adding sugar cubes the coffee was very bitter, with a dark flavor that lingered on the tongue. After passing through the strong and bitter aroma, it leaves a sour feeling in the mouth. The bitterness can make people feel a little shaken mentally.

X likes to eat sweet things, but she doesn't dislike this kind of pure coffee. Sometimes it's because of this kind of dark and bitter taste that it can stand out in its sweetness.

[It's not a bad answer, but the intention is not as you understand. We are the first humans of this world to discover 'abnormalities'. Of course, with the exclusion of myself, as I do not exactly belong to humanity.]

When the intelligent AI said the word 'humanity', her expression showed a subtle sense of loss, very similar to when she introduced herself. The corporation's intelligent AI can express many clear emotions, but X doesn't know whether this kind of facial expression is real or fake.

It's just AI intelligence... imitating humanity.

[How should put it? We are spawning an entirely new world in a brand new field of study, the discoveries we have made thus far are merely the tip of the iceberg. ]

[ Abnormalities have been among us since the beginning. However, we have only just 'found' their essence, their strange nature, we confront them for the first time and we face fear itself.]

[ Essentially speaking, they were fundamentally an incarnation of fear.]

The corners of the AI's mouth have many curves.

"Is it like this... Thanks for your explanation, Angela."

X also doesn't trust the intelligence of AI's words. Maybe some of it is true, maybe some of it is just her lies.

But regardless of whether it's true or not, there's no need to point out, that she only needs to satisfy the AI intelligence's desire to perform now, without exposing the AI intelligence or not giving the AI intelligence a chance to perform.

That's no good outcome, X doesn't want to be punished by Angela.

Feeling the bottom of her coffee, X turned to her AI and asked for a warm glass of cow's milk. Compared to those mature adults who love coffee, X likes sweet drinks more.

This may be a bit naive, but for X right now, life is already very hard, at least we need to neutralize the sweet things a little bit.

Next, before the official start of work, there is still something that was not resolved yesterday.

Originally, X should have chosen to open the Department yesterday, but because X's condition was not very good, it was postponed until today.

[Have you considered carefully which Department you want to open, Information Department or Safety Department?]

"Safety Department... Uh, I heard the Information Department Dean is a bit scary."

X didn't know if the Information Department Dean was really that scary or not, but she knew that if she chose the Information Department first, the AI intelligence might have an excuse to exploit her evil interests.

Not all Deans are like Malkuth, a warm confidant who never hesitates to praise the Manager. Most Department Deans, focus more on doing things themselves, not on inflating the Manager.

[It seems that 'Viper' Yesod's reputation has reached your ears. In the Corporation, Dean gossip always spreads very quickly, but you are the Manager, you must have your judgment.]

[I will notify the Safety Department Dean to hold a meeting. During this waiting period, you will first choose the 'Goods' that the Corporation will send today.]

From the large screen, 3 receiving chests appear with Subject Number. But they have no official name. Each has a short description about it.

1.[F-02-44]

[However, the curse continues eternally, never broken...]

2.[ Bloodbath ]

[Many hands float in the bath. They are the hands of the people I once loved....]

3.[O-04-100]

[The more blood it has, the more beautiful it is...]

X was in trouble, especially when she saw the word 'Bloodbath', and instinctively shook her body and touched the scar on her wrist.

"Angela, why is it that some of them have a Subject Number and the other one has a name?"

Of the 3 Selections, two of them only have a Subject Number, the other one has a name. To be honest, X has a bit of a bad feeling. Well, speaking of a bad feeling, it's better to say that since coming to the Corporation, there's been nothing good about it.

[You are the new Manager, and there have been many Managers before you, and they manage Abnormalities just like you. If you find out that some Objects have official 'names', then it means that the previous Manager had chosen them, and the Corporation has detailed intelligence on them, making management a little easier]

[In the end, the choice is whether to go up the old path or open a new path again, the choice is in your hands.]

[However, I don't suggest you choose 'Bloodbath', last time the Manager was mentally unstable because of it and had to resign.]

"Are these Abnormalities very dangerous and extremely difficult to manage?"

X seriously asked her AI Secretary, the exact reason that could cause the Manager's downfall, she wanted to avoid making the same mistake.

[These Abnormalities are not dangerous, they do not pose too much of a threat to employees, but they will hurt you. It causes disturbance to your spirit, and the Corporation cannot use ordinary means to avoid this kind of pollution to your spirit.]

"This sounds very dangerous, thank you for your reminder, Angela. Regarding the remaining two Abnormalities, do you have any suggestions?"

As she knew about 'Bloodbath', X decided to choose from the remaining two Abnormalities. The senior is constantly opening up new paths, new Managers like her should also be an explorer like them, constantly moving forward, and opening new paths.

[Manager, the right to choose is in your hands, I will not make any suggestions to you regarding any choice, you are the Manager, not me.]

But Angela obviously won't continue to provide intelligence, so being able to remind X not to choose Bloodbath is already the greatest mercy. The suggestion of not selecting 'Bloodbath' is probably due to the principle of protecting the Manager.

Protecting the Manager... That sounds like a good reason. Even though the results were simulated, X's mental collapse was also caused by her AI Secretary, and it was difficult to believe that Angela would protect her Manager.

For me, the Secretary spoke up. Just listen to it and it will be good. Taking it too far as truth is a bit naive. Mixing the truth with lies, who can know what other purpose the words of the intelligent AI have?

Of course, Angela wouldn't give any more reminders, so X randomly chose one and chose the first one.

Subject Number is [F-02-44] Abnormalities class is TETH class.

This class of Abnormalities is just a little more dangerous than the ZAYIN class of Abnormalities and also belongs to the safe category. As long as there is proper management, employees will not be harmed, and even if something unexpected happens, it will not cause too much harm.

However, under the right conditions, these Abnormalities will also kill employees, so as a Manager, you still cannot ignore Abnormalities of this level.

To be exact, Abnormalities cannot be ignored in any way. Monsters are always monsters, monsters are also dangerous, regardless of whether they look safe or look dangerous, they can easily take away the life of an employee.

The first thing in the Manager's handbook is not to underestimate any Abnormalities.

[The new Abnormalities will be accepted by the Safety Department. Now you can go to the meeting room and say hello to the Safety Department Dean. I have informed her to go to the meeting.]

After saying these things, Angela prepared to leave. X was a little suspicious.

"Angela… Won't you come with me?"

Having said that, Angela should have accompanied her to meet with the Department Dean...

[Manager, I can understand you need friends, but I also have my job, you are the Manager, and you have your judgment.]

The AI said so, but X felt contradictory. Because Angela's behavior and her language are very contradictory... Leaning back, relying on, forcing herself, but saying that she must have her thoughts, her ability to judge.

In the end, which thoughts are the true thoughts of the AI Secretary?

Oh well, why should I bother with AI's thoughts? This is just AI. Even though from the outside she's irrefutably beautiful, it's almost impossible to see the difference between humans, but she's still just AI.

Who will seriously consider and wonder whether AI will have its thoughts or not?

Ah.... The prerequisite is to disregard those bad punishments. When it came to punishment, X felt cold and shivered. She didn't want to try it herself, nor did she want to know specifically what kind of punishment would make her mind collapse.

Seeing that Angela left her sight, X breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, when the Secretary wasn't around, she felt a little more relaxed.

Because she had gone through a meeting room yesterday, this time she didn't need Angela to lead the way and knew how to walk. Even though the inside of the Corporation was complex, like an endless maze that held the Minotaur, X suddenly felt like she could find the correct direction.

There was no one in the conference room. She originally thought that the Safety Department Dean was also in the conference room waiting for her, but this time, it was she waiting for someone else.

Footsteps rang out, it was late and I didn't feel any signs of worry. The door was pushed back, and in came a woman with a loose look, her hand stuck in the slit of her pants.

Messy, disheveled, dark green hair with long, loose hair. There wasn't a single button on the shirt that was properly tied, the neck of the tie was tilted to one side at will, and even the letter N sleeves were all distorted and wrinkled.

"...Why is the meeting room so far away?"

The woman casually glanced at Manager X and then sat down on the sofa. X was still standing, but the woman had already sat on the sofa, as if her bones had fallen onto the sofa, unable to move.

"Ngh... You must know my name, right? Ah...You don't know? So annoying. My name is Netzach, Safety Department Dean."

Even when she spoke, she had a frown on her face. She seemed to be dozing off and was forcibly pulled up before she could wake up.
