"Well, how about this, Miss Selene Markgrave, I think it's better for us to talk face to face. Maybe you'll change your decision." Ito Sei's face was slightly stunned, then he said.
"… Alright then, where shall we meet?" Selene Markgrave asked. She was easy to talk to for companies that were determined to explore the deep universe.
"Miss Selene Markgrave, you choose," Sei Itō said.
"I'm in Queensland, Australia. I won't be leaving for three days. If you want to meet, you have to come to Queensland," Selene Markgrave said.
"Sure," Sei Itō agreed.
"If that's the case, contact me when you arrive in Queensland. We'll decide on a place to meet then," Selene continued.
"Okay, I'll buy a ticket to Queensland now." Sei Itō hung up the phone, straightened up, and walked slowly to the nearby hover car. He took a ride to the airport, bought a ticket to Australia, and flew to Australia.
After arriving in Australia, they transferred to another plane and flew to Queensland.
"Phew, I'm finally here." After an eight-hour flight, Sei Itō finally stepped on the soil of Queensland, Australia. He stretched his body, took out his phone, and dialed Selene Markgrave's number as he walked out of the airport.
"Oh, you're here?" Selene Markgrave clearly remembered Sei Itō's phone number. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked such a specific question right after picking up the phone.
"Mhmm, I'm here. Where would you like to meet, Miss Selene Markgrave?" Sei Itō asked.
"How about this, in half an hour, we'll meet at XX Café outside the University of Southern Queensland," Selene Markgrave said on the phone.
"Okay," Sei Itō agreed.
"Okay, I'll hang up first," Selene Markgrave said.
"Goodbye," Sei Itō said and hung up. He put away his phone and took the hover car to the XX Café that Selene Markgrave mentioned.
Ten minutes later, Sei Itō arrived at the meeting place. It was around eight o 'clock in the evening. The sky had already turned completely dark, and the streets were filled with pairs of University of Southern Queensland students, laughing and playing.
Sei Itō walked through the crowd. They arrived at XX Coffee House near the University of Southern Queensland and chose a seat by the window to sit down.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" Just as Sei Itō sat down, a female waitress in black and white uniform walked up to him and asked.
"It's up to you." Ito Sei didn't know much about coffee. In his previous life, he had heard that couples drank cappuccino, Nestlé, and Blue Mountain, which was often talked about by petty bourgeois. Therefore, he directly asked the waiter to recommend coffee to him.
"Uh, what flavor would you like?" The waitress was stunned for a moment before asking again.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I don't die from the poison," Sei Itō said to the waitress with a smile.
"Sir, you really know how to joke." The waitress's mouth twitched. She said with a dry laugh. Sei Itō was probably the strangest customer she had ever met.
"Go ahead, just give me a cup. I'm waiting for someone," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Okay, please wait for a moment." The waitress nodded and left Sei Itō's side. Sei Itō walked to the counter and said a few words to the waitress who was making coffee. The waitress then looked at Sei Itō in surprise, nodded, and lowered her head to make the coffee. After a moment, she placed a cup of coffee in front of the waitress and asked her to bring it to Sei Itō.
"Sir, your coffee." The waitress brought the coffee to Sei Itō and said softly.
"Thank you," Sei Itō thanked her politely and took a sip of the coffee. It was bitter, but it tasted better than the Nestle in the bag.
Just like that, Sei Itō drank the bitter coffee while quietly waiting for the arrival of Selene Markgrave. After sitting for about five minutes, the bell on the coffee shop's wooden door rang. A woman with a height of about 1.7 meters, a slim figure, wearing a green sleeveless shirt, a thin red belt around her waist, a black knee-length skirt with a high slit, dark brown silk stockings, and black flat leather shoes walked in. Her dark green shoulder-length hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her eyes quickly scanned the crowd in the coffee shop.
"Miss Selene Markgrave." As soon as Sei Itō saw the woman who walked into the coffee shop, he immediately stood up from his seat, waved at her, and called out.
The latter immediately stopped looking around and turned to look at Sei Itō. She slowly walked toward Sei Itō, then walked to the chair opposite Sei Itō and sat down with Sei Itō.
"Dear customer, what would you like to order?" After Selene Markgrave sat down, the waitress walked over again and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
"A latte," Selene Markgrave looked up and said to the waitress.
"Okay, please wait a moment," the waitress replied and returned to the counter.
"Hello, Miss Selene Markgrave. I'm Sei Itō." Sei Itō introduced himself again, but this time he did not use the fake title of the Apocalypse Universe Application Development Company.
"Hello." Selene Markgrave nodded and said directly, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about."
"Actually, I don't have anything to talk to you about." Sei Itō smiled.
Selene Markgrave immediately frowned and looked up at Sei Itō's eyes, waiting for him to continue.
"The reason why I made up an excuse to ask you out is because I know that you are a rare scientist, and I want you to work for me." Ito Sei leaned his body on the back of the wooden chair. He looked at Selene Markgrave and said.
"I won't work for any faction or anyone," Selene Markgrave said firmly.
"Dear customer, here's your coffee." At this moment, the waitress came over and placed a cup of coffee in front of Selene Markgrave.
"Thank you," Selene Markgrave thanked her, but her eyes were still fixed on Sei Itō.
After the waitress left, Sei Itō spoke again. "I know. That's why I made up an excuse to meet you. If you don't agree, I can take you away by force. "
Hearing Sei Itō's straightforward words, Selene Markgrave frowned. Selene Markgrave frowned and looked at Ito Sei silently. She knew that since Sei Itō dared to say that, he would definitely take her away. Therefore, any resistance from him would be superfluous.
"Enjoy this cup of latte. After you're done, we'll leave here. Then I'll take you to see your future colleagues. I promise you'll see a wider world, a deeper universe, and more diverse elements than in DSSD." Sei Itō smiled faintly.
Selene Markgrave remained silent as she sipped her coffee. After about 20 minutes, Selene Markgrave finished her latte. Then, Ito Sei grabbed her arm and walked out of the XX coffee house. They walked into a small alley that could be found in any city.
"To save some trouble, it's better for you to faint." In the alley, Sei Itō turned around and smiled at Selene Markgrave. Then, before she could react, a palm strike landed on her neck, knocking her out. Then, he reached out and caught Selene Markgrave, who had fallen to the ground, and disappeared into the alley with her.
In the Rubik's Cube world, Sei Itō extracted a strand of Selene Markgrave's willpower. Then, he helped her to the bed and laid her flat on it. He waited for her to wake up quietly.
A few minutes later, with a soft moan, Selene Markgrave finally opened her tightly shut eyes.
"Where am I?" Selene Markgrave supported her forehead with one hand and sat up on the bed with the other. She looked around and saw Sei Itō sitting on the chair in the room with a smile.
"This will be your home from now on. How is the room? Is the layout okay?" Sei Itō got up and walked to Selene Markgrave.
Selene Markgrave looked at the room's layout in silence and did not comment.
"Since you're awake, come with me to meet your colleagues who will be working with you from now on." Then, he grabbed Selene Markgrave's arm and disappeared from the room with her. They appeared on the ceiling of the big lab.
Selene Markgrave looked at the sudden change in the spatial environment. Her expressionless eyes narrowed slightly. She observed carefully to see if it was a real spatial change or if it was affected by the ultra-realistic three-body composition. However, no matter how carefully she observed, she did not find any traces of unnaturalness.
"How did you do it?" As a scientist, it was almost instinctive for her to want to know the answer to something she was interested in. Moreover, she was sure that her life was not in danger, so there was no need to worry.
"In this world, I can do anything, such as this …" Sei Itō said with a calm smile when he heard Selene Markgrave's question. Then, he waved his hand in front of him and a stream of water as thick as a finger appeared in front of Selene Markgrave's eyes.
Selene Markgrave reached out to feel whether the stream was real or fake, but the cold touch and moisture from her fingers reminded her that the stream was real.
"Okay, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see this kind of magical thing in the future. Now, go and meet your future colleagues." Sei Itō waved his hand to disperse the stream of water in front of him into countless water molecules and disappeared in front of the two. Then, he led Selene Markgrave into the large laboratory from the side door and came to the side of many busy researchers.
"Clap clap clap" Sei Itō clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention with the applause. He then introduced, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Selene Markgrave, the Adjuster, one of the top scientists in the outside world. She will be working with you in the future. Everyone, please welcome her."
"Clap clap clap clap" A round of applause immediately sounded to welcome Selene Markgrave.
"Okay, everyone continue working. I'll show her around the laboratory," Sei Itō said. Then, the group of scientists immediately returned to their posts and continued their unfinished work.
"Let's go, I'll show you around the laboratory," Sei Itō said as he showed Selene Markgrave around. From the Knightmare to the Gundam to the scientific and technological information in his hands, he introduced them one by one.
"… Okay, that's about it." After Sei Itō introduced the situation in the laboratory, he turned around and said to Selene Markgrave. Then, he flipped his hand and threw a bunch of keys to Selene Markgrave. After Selene Markgrave caught them, he said, "This is the key to the room you just woke up in. The address is written on the nameplate on the key. If you can't find it, you can ask the others in the laboratory. I have to leave first. I hope you can integrate into the new working environment as soon as possible. As for the group of scientists from the DSSD organization, if possible, I'll send them in."
After that, Sei Itō suddenly disappeared in front of Selene Markgrave.
"Do I have a choice …" Selene Markgrave looked at the key in her hand and thought helplessly.
Outside, Sei Itō once again appeared in the alley where he disappeared. He quickly left the alley and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye. After resting in a hotel in Queensland for the night, he took a plane back to New York and stayed in a hotel. He planned to make his move on the people responsible for transporting supplies to the Apollo Space Base at night. He wanted them to bring him into the Apollo Space Base and take away the core technical personnel and information of the DSSD organization.
A few hours later, the sky was completely dark. Sei Itō felt that those people should have returned home, so he immediately left the hotel and took a car to their homes. He used his powerful skills to control them and hypnotize them. After completing the control of several personnel responsible for the transportation of materials, Ito Sei returned to the hotel and waited quietly …)
