Chapter 598: Perfectly Gaining Trust |
Although in that instant, Lynn had severed the neural connection to the corridor where Silver Fantasy was located, the scene of that knife thrust still flashed for a moment.
And the high-ranking officials in the First Chamber all had their faces change drastically, never expecting such a thing to happen.
"What the hell happened?!"
"What's going on over there?!"
"Hurry! Establish contact with his command center immediately! Could it be that the Night Doctor has appeared?!"
The high-ranking officials around grew anxious, and even Doctor 315 furrowed his brow.
Clearly.
Even he hadn't anticipated that the Night Doctor would show up so quickly, and that upon appearing, he would directly launch a killing move against Losh.
Obviously, Losh's plan to lure the snake out of its hole had worked.
His brow relaxed, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
In that moment.
It could be said that he no longer had any doubts about Losh.
"Immediately mobilize personnel and blockade that area where he appeared. We absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"
Doctor 315 issued the order icily.
"Yes, Doctor!"
...
Meanwhile.
Inside the Main Command Center, blood dripped.
Under Zuo Zuo's shocked gaze, Lynn gritted his teeth, yanked the Night Demon Blade from his shoulder, then heavily fell to one knee, clutching his bloody shoulder as he gasped for breath.
"Protect the Lord Executive!"
The nearby Plague Doctors immediately abandoned their work with roars, quickly encircling Lynn in their protection.
Lynn was drenched in sweat from the pain, then suddenly clenched his teeth, shoved the crowd aside, and pointed fiercely toward the corridor where the door was about to close, shouting:
"Never mind me! Lock onto his position! We finally lured him out—we can't let him escape again! Go!!"
At Lynn's roar.
Two-thirds of the nearby Plague Doctors immediately split off and charged furiously toward the corridor beyond the gate.
But the figure at the end of the corridor just stared at them coldly, and in the next moment, pale smoke gushed from both sides of the Plague Doctor Mask, instantly obscuring him.
"Immediately mobilize personnel and blockade that area where he appeared. We absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"
"Pursue! Notify all units immediately—surround this area! We won't let him leave a single step from here!"
With a cacophony of footsteps.
Plague Doctors from all over, having received the news, swiftly moved along the corridors.
Meanwhile, on the walls within this area, countless eyeballs emerged densely, initiating full-scale surveillance of the region.
Back in the Main Command Center, Lynn's few trusted subordinates looked at his wound with extreme urgency, saying:
"Lord Executive! How are you?! You're bleeding!"
"I'll treat you immediately!"
But Lynn only wore a grim expression, waving his hand dismissively: "No need. I expected this. That Night Doctor would surely make a move on me, but I just didn't think it would be so fast."
Without another word, Lynn heavily pushed the surrounding Plague Doctors aside and quickly used flesh and blood nerves to establish contact with the First Chamber.
With the flicker of the screen.
In the next moment, the scene inside the First Chamber appeared on the screen.
"Losh?! How are you? What about the Night Doctor?"
Seeing Losh establish contact with them, the high-ranking officials unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but then urgently began questioning him.
Lynn clutched his blood-soaked shoulder and said grimly:
"My people are doing their utmost to apprehend him. The area where he appeared has been locked down, and I believe he won't get far! I'm fine myself—that strike was aimed at my heart, but luckily I kept my wits about me, or I'd have been dead in one blow!"
Blood from the wound spurted all over the screen with a hissing sound.
Doctor 315 gave him an approving look and said, "It's good that you're fine. Losh, I wasn't wrong about you. This plan of yours to lure the snake out of its hole indeed caught the Night Doctor's tail. And I never imagined that the Night Doctor's disguise skills would be so sophisticated—he actually infiltrated all the way here!"
Lynn immediately cupped his fists, his gaze firm and dark: "Please rest assured, Doctor! With me, Losh, here, that Night Doctor will come but never return!"
Doctor 315 said deeply: "Good! Here is my order! From now on, the authority over all armed forces across every department is fully open to you! I grant you access to all resources and military power under the Leviathan's command. As long as you capture that Lynn—dead or alive—I will formally bestow upon you the position of Eighth Executive!"
At these words, Lynn was overjoyed, immediately dropped to one knee, and said with firm resolve:
"Yes, Doctor! I, Losh, will never disappoint the Doctor's trust!"
[Ding! Daybreak's trust in you +30]
[Ding! Daybreak's trust in you +31]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have triggered a special achievement: The Highest Honor of an Undercover Agent. You have received 200 basic experience points.]
[The Highest Honor of an Undercover Agent] Special Achievement: This can only be obtained after infiltrating deep into the enemy's interior and completely winning the trust of the hostile faction's supreme leader. It indicates that the host has fully leveraged their acting skills and charisma to secure a critical high-ranking position within the enemy camp. Congratulations on receiving a permanent boost: All Attributes +2, Charisma +3, Intelligence +3.
With the prompt echoing in his ear, Doctor 315 also cast a trusting and affirming look at him.
Without a doubt.
If there had still been some probing intent before, then after the Night Doctor appeared, his trust in Losh (Lynn) no longer required any suspicion.
Because there couldn't possibly be two Lynns, could there?
And after that vicious plan was gradually put into motion, the Night Doctor had indeed fallen for the scheme, launching an attack on Losh after being lured out.
Still too young!
Didn't he know that showing his face at a time like this was basically rendering half of his disguise useless?
Soon, the connection with the First Chamber was cut off.
The flesh and blood beneath the screen quickly squirmed as a new chip was transmitted over.
[Ding! You have obtained a Level 1 Leviathan Authority Chip x1]
Lynn smiled inwardly, quickly pulled out the chip, and held it in his hand.
Without a doubt.
With this authority now in hand, he had truly gained control over the command of all armed personnel within the Leviathan.
And at this point.
His plan could finally begin its perfect execution.
He then turned, stared solemnly at the Plague Doctors beside him, and said, "I need to coordinate the armed forces across all departments. No one is to approach the Command Center without my order. Any who dare to disobey will be executed without mercy!"
The nearby Plague Doctors clenched their fists firmly and said, "Yes!"
