Chapter 599: Lynn’s Sinister Scheme |
Those Plague Doctors immediately rushed out the door, strictly guarding the only corridor that led straight to the command center, executing Lynn’s orders with utmost discipline.
Only after they had left did Lynn crack a smile and plop down onto the chair. The flesh on his shoulder writhed and healed the wound at a visible rate.
Zuo Zuo was also stunned, saying, “Brain! What the hell is going on?! Aren’t you right here? Then who was that guy who just attacked you?!”
Lynn smiled slightly, fiddling with the chip in his hand, and said:
“Of course, I had Alice disguise herself as me. Didn’t you notice that Alice has already left my body?”
At his words, Zuo Zuo instantly went (꒪Д꒪).
This… This…
Lynn smiled, propping his temple with his hand and adjusting his monocle, saying:
“I had to make an appearance and go through this whole ordeal. Otherwise, it would’ve been very difficult to earn that Doctor’s trust, and naturally, I wouldn’t have been able to trick him into granting me higher authority. With this little act, I can’t say it’s a hundred percent, but at least I’ve now truly infiltrated the Leviathan’s upper echelons. Only with this identity can I step into the First Chamber and deliver that Doctor a fatal blow.”
He now held the armed forces of the entire Leviathan in his hands.
In other words, as long as Alice’s disguised version of him wasn’t caught, his authority would be second only to that Doctor’s.
And after he seized the highest control authority, how could Alice possibly get caught?
Lynn smirked slyly. He immediately raised his hand and, with a *smack*, inserted the flesh chip into his temple.
[***Ding! Your nerves are reading the information from the authority chip…***]
[***Ding! You have obtained authority over all armed units within the Leviathan’s departments…***]
[***Synchronizing basic neural link with the Leviathan’s consciousness…***]
With the System’s prompt ringing in his ears, Lynn’s neural signals immediately established a connection with the entire massive Leviathan. The real-time positions of all Plague Doctors and flesh-and-blood creatures—except for those high-ranking officials in the First Chamber—appeared before him like a three-dimensional map.
Beyond that, with just a single thought, he could instantly access views from any location within the Leviathan.
In other words, obtaining this authority had directly granted him a God-like perspective second only to Doctor 315’s.
Lynn smiled faintly.
He lightly tapped his temple with his finger, and immediately, using a portion of the Ghost Energy Alice had left inside him, he established a connection with her.
At the same time—
In a hidden corner of the Leviathan, a transparent figure wearing a Plague Doctor mask moved slightly, floating in place, before gently pushing up the mask to reveal the half-transparent face of a Little Girl.
“Big brother, I’ve already shaken them off, but Alice just sensed a few powerful auras; they almost found me.”
But the moment she finished speaking, a eyeball bulged out from the flesh wall beside her, gurgling.
Alice’s gaze flickered, and with a *smack*, she directly popped it.
Soon after.
“Big brother, I think I’ve been found. A huge eyeball just squeezed out, and Alice popped it.”
Lynn rubbed his empathetic eyes with a wince and transmitted his voice: “Don’t pop them for now, Alice. You did an excellent job with your task. Big brother has already obtained higher authority from that old scoundrel. The eyeball you just popped? That’s the one I’m controlling.”
Alice blinked blankly, “Eh?”
Then she reached out, spun the eyeball around, and turned its good side outward, pretending she hadn’t done anything.
Lynn stared seriously at the area around her, saying, “Alice, from now on, you must strictly follow big brother’s orders. I’ll help you steer clear of nearby Plague Doctors. The bigger the chaos you cause, the more power I’ll have!”
“See the area I’ve shared with you that’s marked in red? There are thirty fully armed Plague Doctors stationed there right now. The main entrance has Tailworm pheromone sensors. Your mission is to possess one of the Plague Doctors, walk right into that area, and then kill every single Plague Doctor inside! Got it?”
Alice immediately nodded, “I understand, big brother!”
Alice was the most obedient and well-behaved, which was exactly why Lynn entrusted her with this arduous task.
After all, given Alice’s personality, even if Lynn proposed all sorts of indecent requests, Alice would comply and cooperate without the slightest refusal.
Unlike Zuo Zuo.
Even though she was his own little hand, she just wouldn’t listen at all.
“Alice, turn left ahead. I’ve ordered a compliant Plague Doctor to patrol that area. He’s the vessel I’ve prepared for you. Possess him, and then you can begin your operation!”
“Okay, big brother. Love you.”
“……”
And just as Lynn observed through his God-like perspective, Alice didn’t move immediately. Instead, she quickly reverted to a semi-transparent state, her tiny body landing softly on the ground. The Night Doctor gear on her drooped loosely.
Then, under Lynn’s (((;꒪Д꒪;))) stare, he saw Alice take off her mask, vigorously shake out her long hair, and then wriggle out of the clothes completely naked.
And then, right under Lynn’s (((;≧Д≦;))) gaze, Alice calmly and swiftly reached out her little hand, neatly folded the set of Night Doctor equipment, solemnly stowed it into her storage space, and then stood up, putting on her own white dress.
Lynn (；≧Д≦) said, “Alice, what are you doing?!”
Alice looked up, tilted her head, and said, “Big brother’s things, of course Alice has to keep them safe. I can’t just throw them away carelessly.”
“But why aren’t you wearing anything underneath?!”
“I want… want to get more of big brother’s scent…”
“……”
Lynn felt a wave of speechless embarrassment. He knew that when they got back, he would have to readjust Alice’s thinking. There were already some worrying signs, and if things continued like this, the relationship would definitely take a wrong turn.
“Here it comes!”
Without lingering on the topic, with Lynn’s voice ringing in her ears, Alice’s gaze flickered, and her form instantly vanished completely, transforming into a ghost.
And almost simultaneously, a Plague Doctor, under Lynn’s orders, rushed around the corner at high speed, patrolling the area.
“Lord Executive, I have arrived at the target location. Awaiting your next order!”
The Plague Doctor vigilantly scanned his surroundings, immediately linking up with the Executive.
Then, Lynn’s slow voice echoed in his mind.
“Stand by. Your mission is over. After I kill the Doctor, I’ll soon send him down to keep you company.”
The moment those words came out, the Plague Doctor was jolted.
But before he could speak, he suddenly felt an icy chill at his back. A bone-chilling aura instantly enveloped him.
And the moment he turned his head, a pale, hollow-faced Evil Spirit appeared before his eyes.
He was shocked and terrified, instinctively trying to fight back.
But it was already too late.
Under Lynn’s remote observation, Alice—floating faintly before him—extended her slender hand. It instantly reached into his face as if passing through empty air, then calmly yanked outward. With a shriek, his soul was effortlessly pulled out.
Then came a horrifyingly gruesome feeding scene.
The Plague Doctor’s soul was devoured by Alice, bite by bite, until there was nothing left.
In other words, no matter how well-behaved and obedient Alice was in front of her big brother, she was still, at her core, a vicious, Death-Omen Tier Evil Ghost. Towards any being other than her big brother, she would mercilessly reveal her most terrifying side, devouring them completely.
*Swish*—
In an instant, Alice turned into a wisp of green smoke and took over the corpse.
And under Lynn’s watch, Alice, now controlling that body, sped off toward the area Lynn had assigned her.
Lynn’s purpose was also very simple.
By having Alice—representing him—create a massacre without triggering the Tailworm alarm, he could then use that incident to attack the Tailworm system, forcing every Plague Doctor in the Leviathan to replace their identification Bio-armaments with higher-grade ones.
And if that goal could be achieved, then with just a single Plague, he would have the power to wipe out every Plague Doctor in the entire Leviathan!
Just like when you go to get a vaccine…
And someone swaps the vaccine out for Dichlorvos.
That was exactly where Lynn’s sinister scheme lay!
