Chapter 600: Alice's Massacre |
And there was absolutely no surprise.
With Lynn's full control and monitoring, Alice advanced like she was walking through an empty field.
One could say that wherever Alice passed, Lynn would use his commands to dispatch the patrolling Plague Doctors to other areas, leaving space for Alice's infiltration.
After all, when the enemy's leader was actually an undercover agent, wandering around in there was as easy as strolling through your own home.
"Brother, I've arrived!"
Alice, controlling that Plague Doctor, cautiously remained invisible, staring at the large door at the end of the corner.
There were Plague Doctors guarding the entrance, and the entry point was equipped with a Tailworm detection device.
Lynn's consciousness immediately gained visibility of this area. He smiled slightly, adjusted his Monocle, and said:
"Don't worry about it, Alice. Just walk straight in. I've already adjusted the performance of the Tailworm detection device. It won't react to you at all."
Through the neural link, Lynn immediately seized control of the device that detected Tailworm pheromones.
And Lynn's goal was simple: if Alice caused a big scene here, he could use that as an excuse to challenge the detection device, thereby rapidly implementing his wicked plan.
Alice nodded and immediately deactivated her invisibility.
Then, controlling that Plague Doctor, she strode boldly toward the rest area.
"Halt!"
The moment she appeared in the sight of the two Plague Doctors, they shouted loudly to stop Alice.
Lynn said slowly, "Show them your documents. Tell them you're under orders from Executive Losh to proceed to Zone 3. Tell them to stand down."
Alice immediately pulled documents from the pocket of the Plague Doctor she was controlling, and said in a deep voice:
"I am under orders from Executive Losh. I have an urgent situation requiring coordination in Zone 3. Clear the way immediately!"
At these words.
The two Plague Doctors exchanged glances with each other.
Then they saluted by thumping their chests with one fist, stood ramrod straight to the side, and opened the door for her.
And Alice, still controlling that Plague Doctor, lifted her head and strode calmly into the rest area.
But clearly, those two Plague Doctors were highly alert. Their eyes stayed fixed on her until Alice, controlling the Plague Doctor, stepped into the Tailworm monitoring unit and saw the green light flicker on the device. Only then did they look away.
"Verification passed. Enter."
But how could they possibly know that this device had already been remotely hijacked by Lynn? Even if a pig walked through, it would flash green to indicate safety.
Lynn smiled eerily.
Watching Alice step into the rest area as if it were empty land, Lynn tapped his fingers lightly on the chair. He knew his plan could now be formally executed.
He said slowly, "Alice, I'm leaving this to you. Go on a killing spree. The bigger the commotion you make, the stronger the justification I'll have to stir up trouble!"
Alice nodded. Her gaze instantly locked onto the Plague Doctors inside the rest area who were frantically putting on their equipment, awaiting the executive's orders. Her eyes narrowed slightly, her pupils fading, revealing the spirit-white eye whites of an Evil Spirit.
She strode toward those Plague Doctors.
The Plague Doctors who were changing equipment immediately noticed her movement. One of them shot to his feet, raised an eyebrow, turned to face him, and said:
"Which department are you from? Show me your—"
*Squelch—*
A sound of flesh being pierced rang out.
Before he could finish his words, an invisible hand instantly pierced through his throat. His pupils dilated wildly, and his entire body was lifted up by that invisible force.
A cold, sinister aura from the Evil Spirit spread instantly.
"Captain?!"
The surrounding Plague Doctors were shocked, reacting almost instantly as they leaped to their feet.
But they had almost no chance. Alice turned her head slowly. As the Raven Mask fell away, a pale, pupil-less face was revealed before them. A wave of chilling cold swept through, and the light in the entire rest area went dark in an instant.
The next moment.
Ear-piercing screams echoed throughout the area.
Lynn watched Alice's slaughter with a smile, propping his cheek on his hand as he waited patiently.
He was waiting for those Plague Doctors to actively report this matter to him. And when that happened, he would have his reason to act.
He said slowly, "Alice, don't kill them all. Leave one barely alive. After you're done, follow the route your brother mapped out for you. Leave the rest to me."
"Yes, Brother."
...
And finally.
Less than two minutes after Alice struck.
The door to the Main Command Center was abruptly pushed open by a Plague Doctor Squad Leader, who rushed in urgently:
"Executive! That Night Doctor has appeared!"
At these words, Lynn shot up from his chair, his eyes cold and fierce:
"You found him?!"
The Plague Doctor Squad Leader gritted his teeth urgently, his eyes blazing with fury: "He got away! He killed dozens of our men! Squad 32, who were adjusting in the rest area, was entirely massacred by that Night Doctor!"
Hearing this, Lynn's expression shifted drastically.
"What?!"
Lynn gritted his teeth, enraged, and reached out violently, grabbing the Plague Doctor Squad Leader by the collar and yanking him up, snarling:
"Say that again?!"
The Plague Doctor's face turned pale. He trembled:
"I'm sorry, Executive! It's our incompetence! By the time we got word, it was already too late. When we arrived, there was no trace of that Night Doctor. But there's still one survivor!"
Lynn shoved the Plague Doctor away roughly, his expression barely containing his fury. Gritting his teeth, he kicked open the door, stripped to the waist, and growled:
"You useless wastes! Take me to that rest area!"
At these words.
All the Plague Doctor Squad Leaders outside the door shuddered, then panicked, saying:
"Executive! It's best if you don't go out right now! It's very dangerous out there. If that Night Doctor finds another chance to target you, we won't be able to answer for it!"
Lynn shoved them aside with a "savage" push, blazing with fury:
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Lynn fully embodied the essence of a tyrannical villain enraged by bad news, raising absolutely no suspicion. Amid the panicked attempts of the surrounding Plague Doctor Squad Leaders to stop him, he stormed furiously with his men toward the rest area where the murder had just occurred.
The moment he stepped into that rest area.
Lynn immediately saw several high-ranking Plague Doctors who had already arrived, along with the blood and bodies scattered everywhere.
"Executive!"
The Plague Doctors around, upon seeing Lynn, dared not be negligent. They immediately stopped their current tasks and saluted Lynn with perfect posture.
