Nina White looked at Eve Nightburn, who was already prepared, and then began to ask, “First question, what do you think you are?”
Eve Nightburn: “A human.”
Nina White: “Second question, what is your view of the world?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “Hmm… I don’t know.”
Nina White: “Third question, do you have any thoughts of destroying something?”
Eve Nightburn: “No.”
Nina White: “Fourth question, is there anything you desire?”
Eve Nightburn: “Strawberry cake! It would be best if I could have a piece of strawberry cake on my birthday!”
Nina White glanced at Lucian Blue, who immediately understood her meaning and quickly opened his phone to order a strawberry cake.
Nina White looked back at Eve Nightburn: “Fifth question, do you have any family?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “I grew up in an orphanage, so I don’t have any family.”
Nina White: “Sixth question, do you know your past memories?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head again: “I can’t remember much before the orphanage.”
Nina White: “Seventh question, how old are you now?”
Eve Nightburn: “23 years old, at least that’s how long I can remember.”
Lucian Blue was momentarily stunned upon hearing this answer.
23 years old… that’s just one year younger than me.
Could she be some kind of immortal species like in anime?
No one cared about what Lucian Blue was thinking, as Nina White and Eve Nightburn were still engrossed in the rapid-fire questioning.
Nina White: “Eighth question, have you been in the orphanage all these years?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “Not exactly, I left the orphanage when I was in high school.”
Nina White: “Ninth question, hasn’t anyone noticed that you haven’t grown taller over the years?”
Eve Nightburn: “Uh… how should I put this? Would you believe me if I said I used to be a man? And a muscle man at that!”
Eve Nightburn stood on the sofa and gestured her height, as if she really used to be that tall.
“Pfft!” Lucian Blue couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this answer.
You say you were a muscle man? Who would believe that?
It’s clear that this silly loli has some serious issues with her gender identity.
Seeing Lucian Blue covering his mouth and laughing uncontrollably, Eve Nightburn’s face turned red.
“You, you’re not allowed to laugh!”
Lucian Blue tried to suppress his laughter: “No, nothing, I just suddenly remembered something very funny.”
The strand of hair on Eve Nightburn’s head turned into a question mark: “What’s so funny?”
“When I was in middle school, I asked my classmate to blow up our school’s toilet. I promised him 100 yuan after it was done, but I still haven’t given him a single cent.”
“HAHAHAHA.”
Eve Nightburn didn’t share his amusement, feeling only exasperation: “If I were him, I’d definitely kill you if I saw you.”
Hearing this, Lucian Blue’s smile instantly vanished: “No, no, no! My dear, I promise, if I can ever contact him again, I’ll transfer the money to him!”
“Also, I believe what you said! After all, such things are quite common in reality. For example, there’s a type of fish that can change from female to male.”
“Maybe your body is like that too. Your previous male body was just a disguise, and your current form is your true self, right?”
“Just like insects, the imaginal discs inside the larvae eventually develop into adults, not the larvae growing into adults. Don’t you think my analysis is quite reasonable?”
After hearing this, Eve Nightburn felt her fists tightening.
Are you saying I’m a bug? That my previous body was just an embryo, and my current body is the adult that emerged from it?
“You’re the bug! Your whole family is bugs!”
Eve Nightburn wanted to hit him, but for the sake of a beautiful ID card, she held back.
“If you call me a bug again, I’ll sue you for slander!”
Lucian Blue, holding back his laughter, quickly apologized: “Okay, okay, I’m the bug, I’m the bug. You are the most noble being in the world! I, a mere caterpillar, can’t compare to you.”
“Hmph!”
Eve Nightburn ignored this Mr. Trash and turned back to Nina White: “Big Sis Nana, let’s continue.”
Nina White nodded, indicating they could proceed: “Tenth question, do you think it’s better to go to school or to work?”
Eve Nightburn: “Do I have to choose between two piles of shit?”
Lucian Blue, after hearing this answer, secretly wrote a few words in his notebook: Normal social cognition.
Nina White: “Eleventh question, when it’s quiet, do you feel like someone is talking behind your back?”
“Yes! Like right now!”
Eve Nightburn pointed to the camera in the corner of the restaurant: “I feel like it’s only watching me!”
Hearing Eve Nightburn’s thoughts, Nina White immediately ordered Lucian Blue, who was sitting idly by: “Tell the owner to turn off the surveillance.”
“Alright~” Lucian Blue left his seat without enthusiasm, knowing that today he and Nina White were here to serve this little ancestor.
“For a monthly salary of five thousand, I’ll endure!”
Seeing that Lucian Blue had left, Nina White continued questioning Eve Nightburn: “Let’s continue then.”
Eve Nightburn nodded: “Okay.”
Nina White: “Twelfth question, have you been happy recently?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “Except when my sister hugs me, I’ve never been happy.”
Nina White: “Thirteenth question, have you ever had thoughts of suicide?”
Eve Nightburn: “Not really, I don’t have the courage to commit suicide.”
Nina White: “Fourteenth question, have you ever felt like you were truly alive?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “Actually, I often feel like I’ve already died.”
Nina White: “Fifteenth question, have you ever felt at peace?”
Eve Nightburn: “Except when my sister hugs me, never.”
Nina White: “Sixteenth question, when do you think you’ll feel at peace?”
Eve Nightburn: “When I have my own home! No more worries about rent, loans, or whether I’ll have enough to eat today or tomorrow!”
Nina White: “Seventeenth question, have you ever thought about doing something for this world?”
Eve Nightburn: “Of course! I was raised by the Divine Continent, and if the Divine Continent needs me, I’ll dedicate myself.”
Nina White: “Eighteenth question, are you afraid of pain?”
Eve Nightburn: “Of course! Aren’t you?”
Nina White: “Nineteenth question, after becoming a citizen of the Divine Continent, what do you want to do?”
Eve Nightburn shook her head: “Hmm… I don’t know, I just set a goal for myself, which is to find my birthday.”
Nina White nodded: “There’s only one last question left, you’ve cooperated very well. After answering this, you’ll be a member of the Divine Continent.”
Hearing that they had finally reached the last question, Eve Nightburn became excited: “Yay! Ask quickly, ask quickly! After this, I’ll hurry to get my ID card!”
“Alright,” Nina White sat up, no longer resting her head on her hands.
“Twentieth question, do you long for the company of family?”
Eve Nightburn nodded vigorously: “Yes, very much. I also want someone to give me a comforting hug when I feel helpless…”
After Eve Nightburn finished speaking, Nina White stood up from her seat.
“Thank you for your cooperation. The Syndicate told me your name is Eve Nightburn, right? If you have nowhere to go now, you can follow us around for a while, and we’ll help you quickly process your ID documents.”
“Whatever you need, we can provide. The only requirement we have for you is not to disrupt social safety.”
