The clock ticked away.
The scenery outside was about to enter the night.
Normally, at this hour, the Divination Commission should have already gotten off work.
Could it be that Qingque had once again been caught by Fu Xuan and forced her to stay at the Divination Commission and work overtime with her?
That didn't seem very likely.
Although Fu Xuan was a complete workaholic, when she was doing divinations, she could even come to a conclusion like "Today is an auspicious day for working overtime," which made Qingque want to jump off a building after hearing it.
But with Fu Xuan's sharp tongue and soft heart, even if Qingque really had something she could be caught on, she obviously wouldn't use it to threaten Qingque into working overtime.
Especially since Fu Xuan's goal was to become the General of the Luofu.
That made it even less likely that she would force someone else to do something they didn't want to do.
In other words, Qingque probably wasn't working overtime at the Divination Commission.
After analyzing the situation and reaching this conclusion, Levi put down his jade abacus. On it was a message he had sent to Qingque asking where she was now.
But there was no reply from Qingque.
There wasn't even a period.
Combined with the escape of the heliobi from the Creation Furnace in the Fyxestroll Garden, Levi guessed that Qingque was probably somewhere living out her own spring-and-autumn dream.
"Boss Qing, hehehe, Boss Qing."
Whenever he thought of this title, Levi couldn't hold back his laughter.
This girl spent all day talking about things like "slacking off," "playing cards," and "my dream is to be a parasite at the Divination Commission for the rest of my life."
But deep down, she still had a dream of being a domineering CEO.
Otherwise, when the heliobus possessed her, if she didn't have any related desires herself, why would she have such a dream?
And she had even become completely immersed in it when there was no one else around to interfere.
At this moment, in the chat group, regarding the question of whether Elysia was actually Elysia or not.
Mobius and Elysia had launched into a heated discussion.
Mobius still held to her own view. Elysia was not Elysia, but merely someone who was failing to play the role properly.
Elysia, on the other hand, insisted that she was Elysia.
"You're full of crap."
Mobius gave the same answer for the third time. "I already knew Elysia when she first joined the Flame-Chasers. I couldn't be more familiar with what kind of personality she has."
Anyway, she was nothing like the person in the chat group. There wasn't even a trace of Elysia's vibe.
When she spoke, she instead had a few similarities to that guy called Levi.
This was probably what people meant by "Those who stay close to vermilion become red, and those who stay close to ink become black."
She had been corrupted by Levi.
"Then am I vermilion or ink?"
Levi asked below like a curious child.
As for the possibility that Qingque had been possessed by a heliobus, with the Little Ghost-Busting Team around, it was a minor issue.
It would be better to let Qingque have a few more days of dreams and enjoy herself in them.
Seeing Levi's question, Mobius looked disdainful. Just like Elysia, he had no idea what kind of image he presented in other people's eyes.
He had not the slightest self-awareness.
In short, an ACD number.
"I think it's vermilion."
Himeko gave her opinion of Levi.
"Pfft, I'm dying."
Representing Stelle, who had the same opinion as Himeko, also spoke up. "I think it's vermilion too."
Asta also nodded, expressing her agreement in the group.
Looking at the group members one after another saying that Levi was "vermilion," Kiana quickly chewed her food and swallowed it before splitting her attention to type in the group, "Are you guys stupid? How could Levi be vermilion?"
'With how absurd that guy was, if he could be vermilion, I'll eat my hat!'
Just blink if you're being threatened.
As the chat group owner, she would definitely uphold justice.
Asta & Himeko & Stelle: "Uh…"
Seeing Kiana's silly appearance, the three of them froze for a moment, not knowing what to do next.
If they explained, it would be like turning the matter from dark to light and giving Levi an excuse to cause trouble.
If they didn't explain, Kiana was so clueless that it made people feel sorry for her.
On the other side, when Levi saw the three of their answers, his first reaction was confusion.
The cute little Asta could be left aside for now.
As for those two idiots, Himeko and Stelle, normally at a time like this, didn't they always pick the option that insulted him?
Why had they chosen the good option and praised him today?
Levi sat dumbfounded in his room for a long while. After repeatedly looking over his question and the three people's answers, he finally realized something.
"Vermilion… pig, pig, pig!"
Mobius watched the farce before her without the slightest emotional reaction.
If this were the real Elysia, she definitely wouldn't be like this.
She definitely wouldn't be corrupted by this guy.
She herself possessed a powerful ability to influence others. Combined with her own personality, she wouldn't easily be influenced by other people's elements. Instead, she was very good at influencing others.
By contrast, little Griseo was someone who was very easily dyed by other people's "colors."
After staying with someone for a long time, she would easily take on that person's "color."
"I really am Elysia."
After going back and forth for nearly two or three hours, Elysia no longer had enough energy to keep arguing with Mobius.
All her energy and spirit had been drained away.
She thought that if the other party still didn't believe her, then she could just let her keep not believing it.
Anyway, once they met offline in the future, she would naturally believe that she really was Elysia.
It was just that before they met offline, she had to endure this person constantly pestering her to change her name and avatar.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Levi to find some excuse and mute her."
Elysia's darker side had been exposed.
"I don't believe you."
Just as Elysia had expected, Mobius firmly believed that the person in front of her was a fake.
She didn't have a trace of Elysia's vibe, yet she dared to call herself Elysia?
Elysia was somewhat breaking down. What the hell was "Elysia's vibe," anyway?
"I'll demonstrate."
Levi cleared his throat. "Hi~ Long time no see~ What, it's only been two minutes since we last met? So that much time has already passed~"
"I've been thinking about you the whole time I couldn't see you~ Were you thinking about me too?"
"I was, yeah. So does that mean we're connected by heart now? Ah, I'm getting a little embarrassed just saying that myself~"
"…"
His exquisite acting skills stood out at this moment.
Just from looking at the words, Mobius could already imagine Elysia's big face and the expression she would have while saying them.
That smiling expression made people unable to resist wanting to throw some dust into her eyes.
"See that, Miss Elysia who calls herself 'Elysia'?"
Mobius poked Elysia in the chat group.
"Compared to you, Levi has more of Elysia's way of speaking in my eyes."
When the others saw what Levi had written, they all felt that it seemed somewhat familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar.
It was as if they had seen it before, but it had also been a long time since they had seen it.
"Isn't this how Elysia used to talk before Levi joined the chat group?"
Kiana suddenly remembered.
Back then, that girl's biggest hobby was teasing the group members every day after waking up.
Aside from Levi and the people who joined afterward, almost everyone in the group had been teased by her.
Even Kiana herself hadn't been spared.
For this Kaslana, that was simply a humiliation.
She had always been the one teasing others. How could she possibly let someone else tease her?
If it weren't for the fact that Elysia was also a girl and had very good looks, Kiana would have given her a permanent ban long ago.
