"No money again?"
For some reason, Kelsey wanted to laugh when Shadow said those words.
Her facial muscles twitched slightly, but she soon returned to calm. The frost began to melt, but what penetrated was doubly cold.
"Don't talk about the past, let's talk about the recent period."
Kelsey drank the coffee in one gulp.
"How many times have you looked for me in the past few months, from Chernobog to Nebos."
"How much did I give you."
Her tone was very calm, but it was like sharp knives, piercing into Shadow's heart one by one, causing her whole body to tremble with pain.
Shadow lowered his head, not daring to look at Kelsey's face. He placed his hands together on the table and shook them.
"I'm sorry I was wrong."
"But……"
“I can’t even afford to eat now°(°ˊДˋ°)°”
The Rhodes Island Canteen is only free for intern operators. Once they become regular operators, they will have to pay for it.
No matter whether it is the lowest-level operator or the executive in charge of an entire department, no exception can be made.
Even if Kelsey goes, she still has to swipe her meal card.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Shadow acted well, but Kelsey was completely unmoved.
They are old friends who have been together for a long time. They already know the ins and outs of each other and can tell what the other person is thinking just by moving their eyebrows.
Kelsey naturally understands Shadow's shortcomings in this regard.
Spend money without planning.
"I wonder what you bought to spend it so quickly."
But no matter how she didn't have a plan, she would not treat the banknotes as blank paper and throw them out desperately.
It is specified that she spends money like water because she has some hobbies, and she doesn't even notice it.
"Well……"
Shadow slowly raised his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"You know, my line of work requires a lot of professional equipment, and there are all kinds of weird things. It costs a lot of money to buy them."
"Even if there is no mission, I can't let this skill go to waste, right?"
"And after so many years, the related equipment has been updated for several generations, and even new technologies have been derived."
“There are also technologies that are outdated and no longer relevant today.”
The girl chuckled.
"But I can't become obsolete, I have to learn."
"Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to go through all this trouble..."
"When I realize what I'm doing, I only have a few days' worth of food left in my card..."
This is a very good reason.
As mentioned before, although Shadow is a high-level executive in Rhode Island, he has no regard for the company's decisions and just works as her commander in the Supervision Department building.
Coupled with the fact that her qualifications are old enough and she has a very good relationship with Kelsey, she lives as comfortably as at home in Rhode Island without any awareness of being an office worker.
What is the Supervision Department? In his own territory, those Supervision Department officers are his younger brothers.
Can I use other people’s money to buy the latest equipment and equip my younger brother with training equipment?
It’s not possible to specify.
So Shadow paid for it himself without any thought of asking Kelsey for reimbursement.
Although all her money came from Kelxi.
After all, she is an old monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time, and her thinking is still stuck in the past. Looking at her from the current perspective, she is indeed a bit silly.
Kelsey also thought about teaching Shadow a lesson to keep her thinking up to date.
But then I thought about it and decided to forget it.
Anyway, it won't affect the operation of Rhode Island, so let Shadow be immersed in her world.
In the past, it was normal that she was the only one left among those people.
…
However, Kelsey was shaken by this idea today.
Maybe the shadow has become abnormal too.
It's just that unlike myself, her abnormality is biased in an extremely strange direction...
"Here."
After hearing the explanation, Kelsey said nothing, but opened a form on the computer and turned the screen to the opposite side of the table.
"Look what's up there."
Shadow took a closer look and saw his name on the form.
And all my purchase records in the past few months.
Several of the records are marked by red boxes. As for the words inside...
"A movable life-size doll."
Kelsey spoke up for her.
"There are seven other similar records, but the styles of the dolls are different."
"There are also skirts, pantyhose, jumpsuits, etc..."
At this time, the shadow's face was bloodless and as white as flour.
"They're all brand-name goods."
Kelsey turned the screen back to its original position and poured the last bit of coffee from the pot into the cup.
By the way, he poured some water for the shadow.
"Why haven't I seen you wearing it before?"
"I……"
Shadow's mouth opened slightly, and after squeezing out a word, there was no more words. The elongated tail tone kept vibrating, as if two pieces of bark were rubbing against each other in his throat.
At the end of this form is the signature of Tian Tian, the director of the Logistics Department, so there is no doubt about its authenticity.
Her whole body was almost shut down and she lost her speech function.
But the neurons in the cerebral cortex are abnormally active.
Naturally, he was thinking about how to perfectly assassinate the brat Sky.
We agreed to keep it a secret!
Men are all big liars!
"Actually, I'm quite happy to see this."
But Kelsey wasn't angry, and her voice even had a hint of warmth that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"After living for so long, you still have a youthful temperament and the same mentality. You know how to put on makeup and dress up, but you still long for love."
"Although the objects are just some dolls, it is understandable."
No matter how young and energetic your appearance is, the accumulation of age will still create a gap between people and the world.
"But……"
Kelsey changed the subject.
"Later I found out that all the dolls you purchased were female dolls."
"Even the clothes are for them."
"Well, I, uh..."
Shadow was hemming and hawing, unable to even formulate a complete sentence.
At this moment, she didn't even have the courage to look directly at Kelsey. His head dropped deeply, as if his spine had been crushed.
"You want money, fine."
Looking at her old friend who looked like a child in front of her, Kelsey closed her eyes and sighed softly.
"But you are not allowed to buy these things anymore."
It's not that Shadow isn't allowed to buy what she wants, but it has to be done in moderation.
Rhode Island's money didn't come from the wind.
Shadow didn't reply, still lowered his head, looking a little unhappy.
Kelsey's face darkened again.
Sometimes, she really felt that the shadow had died once and had no characteristics of an immortal at all.
It fits her appearance quite well, she is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
How old are you, and you are still acting petty!
"If you feel that you are too lonely, you can try to fall in love."
Kelsey closed the form and sent an email to Sky.
The head of the logistics department is also in charge of finance, so naturally the purpose of sending the email is to ask him to send money to Shadow.
"Most of the male operators in Rhode Island are pretty good."
"You have to figure out how to deal with the psychological estrangement yourself, and I can't help you."
"Or stay with your puppets."
"But no new ones!"
"oh."
Kelsey's being able to say this means that this matter has turned over and Shadow has successfully passed the test.
She is not a devil, and she cannot bear to see her old friend who has been with her for thousands of years cry.
Even if it's just pretending.
"No, why are there so few?"
Tian Tian was very fast and transferred the money to Shadow's account almost as soon as the email was sent.
The girl glanced at the numbers above, and her eyes suddenly widened.
"Enough for your daily needs."
Kelsey rubbed her eyelids.
"Rhode Island has been experiencing a slight financial crisis recently. Ursus found reasons to close many of our pharmacies and seized a lot of supplies."
"It took a lot of blood to resolve this matter."
"Um?"
Shadow put the phone back into his pocket and slammed the table:
"*Sarkaz expletive* Is this still happening?"
"Give me three... no, two months! Another one million mission funds, and I promise to change Ursus's government!"
A second ago, he was weak and pitiful and crying, but now he immediately became so heroic that he shot into the sky.
Kelsey looked at the burning shadow all over her body and felt a little regretful.
This guy's acting skills are getting better and better.
"What is the use?"
She shook her head, stood up and straightened her clothes.
"Even if Emperor Ursus can be killed, Rhode Island's losses will not be recovered."
"And, are you sure you'll come back alive?"
Kelsey believes Shadow can do it.
But I don’t believe it will be intact after completing the mission.
"cannot."
Shadow scratched his head, quickly drank the water and followed Kelsey.
"What about Valentine?"
The bright lights of the medical department finally dimmed, and the conscientious Kelsey finished her day's work and prepared to rest.
"He's fine."
"If you're worried, just pay attention occasionally."
The shadow can see a person's short-term future, so what is Kelsey's special ability?
Certainly not Mon3tr hidden in the spine.
She knows everything.
