The news-reporting dolls developed by Cybermedia were numerous, but not many were truly capable of conducting interviews outside the company. Many dolls of the same type had too much curiosity or were too persistent in seeking the truth, which often led to unfortunate outcomes. As a result, many of these dolls opted to transfer to other positions within Cybermedia during their initial interview period.
And this doll in front of her...
Angelia always felt that there was no way for the doll to leave Statesec's interrogation room in one piece. Even if the Statesec released her, the various forces surrounding the airport would surely arrest this unlucky reporter and use all their resources to extract what she had seen and heard on the airship.
However, this small reporter clearly did not foresee the scene awaiting her outside the airship. She walked alongside Renault, occasionally asking her questions.
Listening to the incessant questions from the reporter, Renault was getting a headache.
He answered a few casually, but this only encouraged the reporter to ask even more, endlessly.
Fortunately, the workroom leading to the other exit cabin was not far. It took the group less than two minutes to walk there. This exit was actually an elevator that would directly send passengers to the ground. Given the airship's height of nearly ten meters above the ground, this elevator was the only way for normal people and dolls to enter and exit.
"You can go down from here. Get away from the vicinity of the ship as soon as you can after you descend. We are preparing to take off, and I won't be responsible for anything that goes wrong then," said Renault.
"Yes, yes. Really, we at least paid for this service. Can't we have a slightly better attitude?" Angelia sighed helplessly at Renault's brusque urging.
"This isn't a hotel," Renault responded sternly.
Even though it's not a hotel, the service is much better than a hotel, AK12 thought.
Although Renault didn't show any false courtesy, G36, who was in charge of this area, was different. Specifically, it was Sophia working behind G36 who treated them normally. Sophia was probably the most normal doll on the whole ship.
Another doll of the same type, Yulia, although efficient, seemed to be afraid of Angelia, or rather, her identity as a Statesec agent.
For some reason, AK12 always felt a familiarity with Yulia but couldn't pinpoint it at the moment.
AN94 didn't feel anything about it and would only speak about it once she returned to the Statesec. There were some things she didn't want to say in front of Renault.
AK15, on the other hand, maintained the same cold expression from the beginning, making it impossible to read her thoughts.
RPK16, who had unknowingly fallen to the back of the group, was smilingly observing the small reporter, seemingly amused by the reporter's obliviousness to the critical situation she was about to face.
Watching the small reporter closely following AK15 towards the elevator, RPK16 leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Do you really understand the situation you're about to face?"
"Situation... situation? I..." The small reporter, who had been excited about the potential big news, started to piece things together after hearing RPK16's words and recalling the personnel she had seen outside earlier.
"Think about it. Are you going to be dismantled next? Or taken directly for your core to be melted?"
RPK16's whisper sounded like a demon's whisper, pulling the reporter out of her interview enthusiasm and waking her up.
Realizing she might be imprisoned or forcibly dismantled, her gaze towards the elevator became one of terror.
It was as if the elevator was a huge beast, waiting to swallow her whole.
Even AK12 and Angelia, who hadn't felt anything before, now stared at her with sharper gazes...
"Yelp!"
Panicked, the reporter shrieked and twisted her body to hide behind Renault.
RPK16, meanwhile, calmly walked into the elevator, smiling as she raised her hand to close the door. Just before the elevator doors closed, RPK16 smirked and winked at Renault.
AK12 and the others didn't see this small action, but they noticed RPK16's behavior. They saw the reporter run behind Renault after RPK16 had said something.
"What did you say to her?" AK12 asked with a raised eyebrow. Angelia had wanted to control the reporter directly.
Now, the reporter had run to hide behind Renault. They had no way to deal with her now, and with the elevator door closed, they couldn't kill her from the elevator shaft...
"Well, it's not a big deal, just some of the situations she might encounter."
Hearing the words 'not a big deal,' Angelia frowned with a headache. RPK16 had been wandering around Renault's ship without orders, and she had also been in Renault's workroom for a long time.
Although Renault might not be interested in vacations, Angelia felt that RPK16, compared to other dolls under her command, didn't seem as resolute in carrying out orders. There was always a sense of ambiguity.
This time, Angelia had signaled AK12 and the others to control the small reporter immediately after disembarking...
Who would have thought that RPK16 would not only refrain from helping but also directly persuade the reporter to run behind Renault?
Uh-huh? Where the hell are you from?
