Chapter 2288

“Come in,” Nicole said, her gaze still fixed on the screen as a smile of relief crossed her face.

She figured that the familiar feeling was due to her continuous efforts in cracking the system of the crest.

“Nicole, please sign this document.” Lulu approached her desk, noticing Nicole’s absentmindedness.

She snuck a glance at the screen and remarked, “You’re still working on this, huh?”

Although she did not understand what it was, Lulu knew that Nicole would be engrossed in it whenever she found herself having some free time.

In response, Nicole looked up at Lulu and replied, “Just put it down.”

“Okay,” Lulu placed the document down. “Doesn’t look like it’s going well. Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee?”

“Thank you,” Nicole said, expressing her gratitude.

Lulu widened her eyes in surprise. “Why are you suddenly so polite? Things really aren’t going well, huh?”

“Not exactly. It’s always been like this anyway,” Nicole calmly explained.

She had not fully recovered from the sense of familiarity she felt earlier. It felt so real, but when she tried to grasp it, it simply eluded her.

“I’ll get you some coffee. You can take a break if you’re tired, ” Lulu said with concern.

She then prepared a cup of coffee for Nicole and placed it on her desk.

Nicole loosened up after taking a sip of the coffee, I’ve been working on this for too long. It actually feels familiar, somehow.”

This was undoubtedly the most challenging task she had taken on. She had never encountered something that was so tough to crack prior to this.

“Maybe you’re somehow destined for it. After all, in this world, no one else can crack it except for you.

Just take it as a test of patience,” Lulu consoled Nicole with a smile.

Nicole smiled. “I’ll take it as a compliment.”

“Of course! Don’t you know how amazing you are? You’re the creme de la creme among the Hunters.

Back then, even the geniuses from our school couldn’t compete with you.” Lulu recalled the past competition with enthusiasm, her face filled with admiration.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. ‘Was I really ranked Number One in the Hunters?’

“What’s with that look?” Lulu asked, realizing her mistake.

Then, she tapped her forehead and said apologetically, “Oh, I forgot that you haven’t recovered your memories yet.”

“No matter how skilled I was back then, it’s not helping now. I’m still stuck,” Nicole said as she looked upon the insurmountable task, feeling a sense of helplessness that she had never experienced before.

“Don’t worry, if you can’t crack it, no one else will be able to.” Lulu shrugged.

To her, there was no urgency in regard to this matter.

Nicole could not help but feel amused. “What kind of logic is that?”

“Heh, I’m just stating a fact,” Lulu said confidently.

Nicole gave her an exasperated look, signed the document, and handed it back to Lulu. “Alright, here’s the document. You can get back to work now.”

If Lulu kept complimenting her like this, she might begin to lose the determination she had.

After that, Lulu grabbed the document and sauntered off with a smile.
