Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 752 - 174: Do You Choose to Officially Rejoin the Team?

Li Mumu didn’t want to leave Shen Qingxi behind, but she couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Because there were far too many inexplicable things about Shen Qingxi.

Li Mumu now knew the origins of Xia Yubing’s identity.

Her own identity information was no secret to the Special Service Bureau.

Only Shen Qingxi, who appeared to have a clear past... but no one except herself could explain how she came back from the dead and developed the superpowers of a transforming superhero.

Even if she wanted to explain now, there was no one to listen.

After all, at this point in time, the middle management of the Special Service Bureau had been wiped out.

Other than Liu Zhihan, who had already taken over as head of the intelligence department, the other two department heads’ positions were still vacant.

It did sound like a rare "gap period."

Only after reluctantly agreeing to various unreasonable requests could Li Mumu finally rid herself of Shen Qingxi’s entanglement and returned to her designated staff quarters, where she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.

She was just too exhausted from the day.

Through the haze of sleepiness, she heard some noises in the room.

Looking up, she saw Sister Yaoqin peeling an orange in front of the window with her eyes blindfolded.

It was simply unbelievable.

"You don’t seem very surprised to see me?"

"Should I be startled?"

Li Mumu turned over and said weakly, "Sister, can we talk about this tomorrow? I’m really about to collapse from exhaustion today."

Sister Yaoqin laughed, "Tomorrow I will be gone, and who knows when the next meeting will be."

"Where are you going?"

"That’s classified, you’re not yet an insider of the Special Service Bureau, so I can’t tell you."

"Okay, classified, I won’t ask."

Li Mumu just wanted to sleep.

"Li Mumu, are you interested in officially joining the Special Service Bureau?"

"I’m not officially part of it now?"

"Right now you can only be considered a temporary worker, you still need to undergo a period of scrutiny."

"That’s great, I’m not interested."

"Right, a real estate tycoon’s daughter, thriving and beautiful, why on earth would you be keen to come to the Special Service Bureau for hard labor?"

Sister Yaoqin placed the peeled orange by Li Mumu’s bed and with a serious face said, "Then let me rephrase the question, Comrade Li Mumu, on behalf of the nation I ask you, are you ready to return to the ranks?"

Huh?

Li Mumu shivered with alertness and got out of bed.

"What did you say?"

"I mean exactly what I said."

Holy heavens, holy earth, has the organization finally found me?

But the excitement in Li Mumu’s heart didn’t last for even a second before fading.

"Sorry, I don’t understand."

"I truly don’t know the codewords to activate you."

Sister Yaoqin laughed, "But I do know your background, and I also know you’ve erased relevant memories. If you officially rejoin, you can get all the intel about yourself."

How come this sounds so awkward?

What does it mean to officially rejoin?

Li Mumu tried to probe, "What does it mean to officially rejoin? Do I just... nod my head to agree?"

"What I mean is, do you truly identify with this world line?"

Huh?

Li Mumu thought to herself that she must really be exhausted today and couldn’t wrap her head around this.

Why can’t I understand what you’re saying?

"Sister Yaoqin, can you not talk in such a cryptic way? My brain isn’t working, can you please be more straightforward?"

"To put it bluntly, although we belong to the same country, the same nationality, we are not on the same world line."

Sister Yaoqin explained softly, "If I’m not mistaken, in your memory, the future era does not have the Twelve Laws Cultivation System, right?"

"That’s true..."

"Because that is an anchor unique to our world line. In addition to the Cultivation System, the Daylily Academy in your memory would not exist either, replaced by the future Penglai Immortal Academy."

"..."

"Because there is no longer any need to cultivate the Dragon Maiden."

"What’s the Dragon Maiden?"

"As long as you officially join the Special Service Bureau, all your questions will be answered."

"Even with what you’re saying, I still don’t understand!"

Mumu thought to herself, if you’re going to spoil the story, at least do it thoroughly, this half-secretive way is so annoying.

How am I supposed to agree with you? Should I swear to a lamp, or do I need to make a handprint?

However, Yaoqin just smiled unhurriedly and asked, "Do you like your current life?"

"It’s okay, I guess..."

It would be even better if I had a mobile phone.

"Do you want to stay here?"

"Where else could I go?"

I do want to go back, where can you find me a cryogenic sleep pod?

"What if you were given a chance to change the world line, how would you want to change it?"

"Not going to change it!"

Mumu has no hesitation in her heart about this question.

The President is doing just fine, don’t mess it up; changing to another person might end in disaster.

Whether it’s the President in her memory or the one from this world line, so far they’ve both been doing well.

Mumu doesn’t have a system cheat code, she wouldn’t dare say something like letting herself travel twenty years further back in time, she could replace the President and unify the world or some such nonsense.

That kind of self-confidence? No way.

Everything is good as it is now, no need for reckless changes.

"Believing that one can solve current problems with one’s own hands, looking toward the future instead of dwelling on the past, that is the recognition of our world."

Yaoqin smiled, "I don’t have much time left, there are some personal matters I need to take care of, let’s stop here for today. You can start working at the nursing home, and after the new head of the communications department is in place, they’ll talk to you in detail."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Mumu hurriedly stopped Yaoqin.

"Sister Yaoqin, I have a question, it shouldn’t involve any secrets, that is... is Wang Yunxiao also with the Special Service Bureau?"

"No."

"Ah?"

Mumu was baffled.

"Currently he is not, but that guy is very talented, in the future the Special Service Bureau will consider recruiting him."

Yaoqin seriously said, "If you start working sooner, you might even become his leader."

Such good fortune... no, I mean to say...

Mumu wanted to ask more, but suddenly she shivered.

Opening her eyes, she found that it was already daylight outside the window.

Turns out, it was all just a dream, and she had slept till dawn.

Phew...

Rubbing her temples and getting up from the bed, Mumu felt sore all over, dizzy and didn’t feel rested at all.

What kind of ruthless unit is this, squeezing employees during the day, and not even letting them rest in their dreams at night.

Casually picking up a peeled orange from beside the bed, she put a segment in her mouth.

The cool and slightly tart taste was indeed refreshing and mind-clearing.

So Wang Yunxiao isn’t with the Special Service Bureau, was he trained as a private soldier by Principal Zhou?

No, that’s not the most important thing right now.

What exactly did Yaoqin mean with all that rambling last night?

Didn’t she just try to take advantage of when my mind was unclear to swindle me?

Daylily Academy is no more? It’s been changed to Penglai Immortal Academy? Is this really that important?

Penglai... is that the Penglai that Li Ya deeply longs for?

If I’m not from this world line, then if I accept this world line, does the original one stop existing?

So annoying, what is all this messy stuff!

Taking a deep breath, Mumu decided not to tangle herself up with things she completely didn’t understand. If there are any questions, it’s better to wait until the new leader arrives to discuss them.
