Chapter 21: Baby, Are You a Transmigrator?

"Um, Dr. Anna, can I ask something?" Ying Su asked after walking for a while.

"She's the Director of Facility Two. She can control anyone who knows their true name," Anna said succinctly. "But you don't need to worry, this is our turf... Did you tell her?"

"No..." Ying Su replied. "But she had me draw a tarot card... I didn't draw one."

"Then it's fine. It seems she quite likes you," Anna said.

Did she really like me? Ying Su only felt an immense sense of danger. Just hearing about the other's ability from Anna was terrifying enough.

Now Ying Su roughly understood how her predecessors had fallen. Even if they were transmigrators holding various systems, if their first stop was this kind of hellhole...

The Trickster only needed to look at their employment forms to control them directly.

It would be strange if they didn't fall. Who knew there could be such a bizarre ability?

And that person was just a director. If the director of the containment facility Ying Su was in was also that kind of ruthless character...

Anna paused for a moment before speaking. "Generally speaking, she has many ways to learn your true name, even if you don't speak. However, she can't act recklessly here with us. The fact that she spoke to you like that means she really does have her eye on you."

"I felt very threatened..."

"That's normal. She can control all the employees of Containment Facility Two. You wouldn't fare any better over there," Anna said. "So do you understand now? Our place here is much better than over there."

"Mhm, mhm." Ying Su nodded in agreement.

'Six of one, half a dozen of the other,' Olivia commented. She didn't think this place was any better.

It was just that Olivia, now recognizing for the first time that the containment facilities were far from benevolent, needed to be even more careful.

Ever since she was captured and brought back, she had been locked up. The strongest she had encountered was Roland the Shapeshifter, but he hadn't even been as troublesome as those impenetrable doors in the containment facility.

But now it seemed this place was also full of hidden talents.

Olivia felt her chances of escaping had diminished further. She couldn't really spend her whole life stuck here with Ying Su, could she?

Even if she could endure it, what about Misha outside?

Although Olivia felt a lowly blood servant who served her wasn't worth concern, what if some other creature took advantage of her absence to bully Misha?

Wouldn't that be an insult to her dignity!

She was Royalty!

Despite Olivia's internal raging and grumbling, no matter how much dissatisfaction she felt, she could only bottle it up for now. After all, there was no doubt she was no match for that newcomer. And by her estimation, she probably couldn't defeat the person in charge here either—the Director of the Third Containment Facility.

The layers of confinement were already annoying enough.

After violently churning around inside Ying Su's body for a while longer, Olivia finally calmed down.

Endure!

"Mmm..." Ying Su felt a stirring in her belly and quickly pressed a hand against it.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Anna asked.

"It's nothing. Probably... I ate something bad today." Though Ying Su felt that area wasn't really related to the stomach. Below the lower abdomen should be...

Was Olivia stirring something up inside her body again?

It felt strange, but since it didn't hurt, she let it be.

"If you're sick, go see a doctor yourself. Medical care is free here," Anna said. After all, if Ying Su really got sick, where would she find something to perk herself up?

Not long after returning to the office, Ying Su resumed her work.

She was now also responsible for organizing documents and other simple tasks. Any work Dr. Anna found troublesome but not highly important would end up on her desk.

But she hadn't been sitting for long before the office door was kicked open.

It was hard to imagine how a heavily fortified door with multiple security measures could be kicked open.

The Trickster strolled in leisurely and sat on the sofa as if it were her own home.

"..." Dr. Anna once again took that revolver from her pocket.

"Now, now, don't. I have official business this time," the Trickster said. "I've spoken to Big Eye about borrowing someone from your department this time."

"Go find another supervisor," Anna said, raising the revolver in her hand.

"My, how heartless you are, little Anna," the Trickster said, seeming on the verge of shedding a couple of tears. She pointed her cane at Anna, holding it like a gun.

"Whoosh-whoosh, meow-meow~ Whoosh-whoosh, meow-meow~" For some reason, Ying Su couldn't control herself and made classic Western movie sound effects, startling her into quickly covering her mouth.

Immediately after, a paper ball flew across the office.

"Enough. What do you actually want?" Anna said, putting the gun away again.

"Big Eye agreed. I need to borrow some cute little helpers," the Trickster said. "Like her~"

"..." Ying Su looked at the finger pointing at her and silently moved her head aside. But the finger immediately followed, so she could only helplessly turn to the other side and call out, "Dr. Anna..."

"..." Anna glanced at her, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "I'll only give you half a day."

"Oh my, so stingy. I won't break your things, you know," the Trickster said with a beaming smile.

"I feel like you might..." Ying Su said, looking at the other's expression and sensing ill intentions.

"Ying Su, report to me for anything she wants to do that's official business. Refuse everything else, understood?" Anna instructed.

"I understand." Since her immediate superior had nodded in agreement, what else could she do?

"Well then, let's go, my cute little sidekick." The Trickster stood up, twirled her cane once, then leaned down slightly to look at Ying Su as she spoke. The short Ying Su could only look up at her. That smiling face was truly inscrutable.

Thus, the Trickster led Ying Su out of the office.

"My, little Anna really values you. If I just borrowed some Class-E or even Class-D personnel, she would definitely agree without a second thought."

"..."

"Don't think they're just disposable materials. They're still assets of the facility, you know. Each area has its quota. Wanting to clone hundreds of different beautiful girls to serve as your personal harem—that kind of thing wouldn't be allowed."

"..." Ying Su didn't dare respond at all.

"Don't be so nervous. With Big Eye watching, I won't do anything to you," the Trickster said. "Look, it's watching us right now."

The Trickster pointed at a camera on the ceiling that had turned towards them.

"..." Ying Su looked at the camera staring at her and felt a chill in her heart.

The Director of the Third Containment Facility had been... had been watching her all along...

"Well then, let me ask you a question, little cutie. Are you... a transmigrator?" The Trickster turned around, holding her cane's handle with both hands planted in front of her. The corners of her mouth stretched to their widest, like a demon's.
