"Where are the people!? Where did everyone go!?" Simonov exclaimed, staring at the empty spaceship. Apart from a few Rippers and Vespids moving about, there wasn't a single person in sight.
Did they go outside?
With this thought in mind, Simonov dashed straight to the ship's entrance, where people usually boarded and disembarked. However, upon reaching it, she found the large door tightly shut and locked.
Did she need permission to open it?
"What's this? I've never seen anything like this before," Simonov muttered to herself.
The permissions for Doll access didn't work here. The door could only be opened from the bridge...
Scratching her head in frustration, Simonov checked her pockets. It was time to make a call and find out what was going on, right? But where was her phone? Did she forget to bring it out of the dorm?
With no one in sight in the corridor and the exit door locked, Simonov realized her only option was to return to the dormitory, retrieve her phone, and then call the commander to find out what was going on... Huh?
As she was briskly walking, Simonov suddenly heard voices faintly coming from the corridor to her right.
"Raise your hand, turn around, bend over..."
The commander's voice?
Initially, Simonov didn't think much when she heard the voice. She immediately moved towards it; she remembered that the direction leads to the commander's office.
"Don't be so hesitant! Take it off!"
However, Renault's next words made Simonov stop in her tracks...
What? What is this?
Simonov's eyes widened in disbelief. Her hurried steps slowed down significantly, and she stealthily approached the door of the office, intending to eavesdrop on what was going on inside...
Swoosh!
Sensing someone approaching, the door automatically opened, exposing Simonov, who had been trying to eavesdrop!
At that moment, Simonov finally saw what Renault was doing in the office...
He... He was actually holding a young man by the neck, carefully examining him...
"Commander? So, you're into this?" Simonov, still half-crouching, even forgot to straighten up, staring incredulously at Renault's actions!
"Hmm? Passed the training? Or got knocked silly? Come in already, stop lingering at the door." Glancing at Simonov, Renault's face showed no surprise. He had noticed her before she even reached the door.
Besides, it was just a medical check-up; what was there to be embarrassed about?
"Looks like there are no abnormalities in your physique. Maybe it's because the intake is relatively small. Have you felt anything different mentally these past few days? Similar to your sister's more excited state?" Lowering his head in contemplation for a moment, Renault directly picked up a pen and wrote down a few keywords in his notebook.
Seeing Renault's calm reaction, Simonov also calmed down. Only then did she notice that besides Renault and the young man, there was also a restless young woman standing nearby.
The two of them looked very similar, likely siblings.
"Mr. Renault, will there be any side effects from this?" Putting on her coat, Wright glanced worriedly at her sister, who was absent-mindedly eating fruit, her IQ seemingly significantly lower. He couldn't help but ask with some concern.
Her sister usually wouldn't have such an expression, nor would she act so impulsively, like charging into Renault's aircraft earlier.
That usually never happens!
"Of course not. This amount is not enough to turn you into some kind of alien creature. Maybe if you ingested it directly, there might be a possibility, but eating crops grown from it definitely doesn't carry such risks."
And... Your sister was clearly doing it intentional. Didn't you see the way she kept glancing at you?
Of course, Renault didn't say this out loud. Perhaps this was just how siblings interacted with each other.
Hearing Renault's words, Wright breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no problems, the current state was just right. After all, he felt much more mentally focused now, and his physical condition had improved significantly compared to before.
"Alright, both of you are in good health. Don't worry about unnecessary things. Consider this a favor you've done for me this time. If you want to wander around my ship, feel free. Simonov, you better go back and tidy yourself up. You look no different from someone crawling out of a dumpster!"
After sizing up Simonov standing beside him, Renault obviously saw her condition over this period who have obviously hadn't had the time to take care of herself. Her clothes were covered in conspicuous stains, oil handprints, and even food residue...
"Um, this..." Hearing Renault's words, Simonov suddenly choked up. She looked at her current appearance, then quickly ran out of the office.
Simonov?
Hearing Renault's address to Simonov, Wright and Charlotte both raised their eyebrows.
That name didn't sound like a girl's name... And just now, based on behavior and expressions alone, it didn't seem like a Doll either?
Just when Wright had relaxed, his suspicions resurfaced. These dozens of unknown, unknown, and even unclear tactical Dolls who just arrived on the spaceship...
Were they really human!?
When those girls just jumped off the spaceship, Wright also took a look, but their behavior showed almost no abnormalities, and there were no visible abnormal human behaviors...
If those dozens of girls just now were all Dolls... belonging to the security contractor...
They might already be anywhere in the cruise ship!
Thinking of this, a creepy feeling instantly surged in Wright's heart!
Having dozens of unknown, unknown, and even unclear Tactical Dolls mixed into a cruise ship... In ordinary circumstances, this is already a security incident!
"Mr. Renault... All the ones you just sent to the cruise ship... were they all Dolls?"
