Chapter 30: Chapter 30 There is No Beast Transformation Syndro at All!_1
“Hmm, yes, that’s not quite right. Based on our checks, we can roughly determine that it is both the entity and not the entity…”
“What do you an?” Colin cocked his head, not quite understanding.
“You should have experienced its ntal manipulation techniques, such as illusions, guile, hypnosis, and so on. These techniques can be used not only against you but also against itself.”
“By hypnotizing this sub-entity, it’s made to believe it is the main entity, thus severing many tracking leads. He must have been guarding against sothing like this happening for quite so ti.”
“Of course, this is just a simple analogy. The actual situation is probably much more complex.”
Hiss, the entity deceiving its own sub-entity, deceiving itself?
Colin pondered for a mont, feeling like a toad on top of a frog, ugly yet playing the arts.
Miss Bunny had no idea what he was thinking, and continued to say:
“This thod is essentially a bit like the internet, with the entity as the root, continuously creating nodes to build a thought network. This was probably inspired by the brains of victims with programming knowledge. Unless you lock onto the main entity, the root server, catching any sub-entity won’t be helpful…”
After listening, Colin confird that there were indeed more victims than just their group and asked, “Then… how many victims are there? Like today’s encounter…”
“Globally, no fewer than a thousand people, and these people co from all sorts of occupational identities. The only thing they have in common is that they are all from fringe groups in social relationships. The earliest confird case was three years ago.”
“A… a thousand people?” Colin’s eyes widened, wondering if he heard incorrectly.
“This number isn’t large. Among seven billion people worldwide, it’s only a one in ten million chance of being targeted.”
“If it weren’t for the recent uptick in activity, we might not have even noticed. So the upcoming battle against him is going to be very difficult…”
“Another point, his discovery of our world is directly related to that forr company employee. His distress signal was cracked, exposing our coordinates here.”
Upon hearing this, Colin couldn’t help but interrupt her, “I rember this creature seed to have the ability to read mories. With over a thousand people, doesn’t that an it completely understands our side?”
Over a thousand victims from various industries could almost completely comprehend Earth from every angle, thinking about what that creature had said before…
It seed like it had always been trying to find a way to this world.
If it succeeded…
Then a brutal war between two civilizations could very likely erupt!
Colin wasn’t clear about the situation in this world yet, but from the things he had encountered, aside from the strange weather, the other creatures didn’t seem excessively powerful.
Even if his Second Order Beast Transformation Syndro looked scary, if one day he faced a machine gun head-on, at most he would just end up like a smashed waterlon all over the ground.
He didn’t feel weak compared to his opponents in a direct war, but the issue was with the more peculiar thods: unknown invisibility, transforming into a shadow, flashing, and especially if the “Beastification” and other bizarre diseases were to spread here.
The consequences were simply unimaginable…
Not to ntion, if just the “Beastification” was thrown over here, Colin could even imagine how so places would react—
“There’s no such thing as ‘Beastification’.”
“It’s just a temporary ntal disturbance…”
“Only policy can preserve the economy and the future of human society…”
“There’s no need to worry excessively if contaminated by Beastification, you’ll be immune afterwards…”
“Everything isn’t that frightening, don’t spread anxiety…”
“Those afraid of Beastification can weld their doors shut and never co out, but they can’t deprive us of our right to breathe the sweet air. That’s taking away our freedom, give the trust back to the public…”
“Beastification has broken out! They are like zombies. All this ti, what has the Lighthouse Kingdom been doing? Why didn’t they issue warnings and set up defenses beforehand…”
“Damn it, we’ve been betrayed!”
“Sever the conduit of benefits between the Lighthouse and enemies from the Other World.”
Hiss…
All of it is worriso.
“There certainly is worry in that regard, but it’s not important; catching him now, while he’s on guard, won’t be an easy task. Moreover, in the short to dium term, there is no need for excessive concern. As for the reason, it involves so core company secrets that I can’t disclose to you for the ti being.”
“Alright, if you guys think it’s not an issue, then it’s not an issue.”
Upon hearing this, Colin let it go; after all, if the sky were to fall, there would be taller people to hold it up; his concern as a lowly employee wouldn’t be of much use.
“Is there anything else you need to ask?”
Colin’s mind spun, and he asked about the “Interaction Hall”—the robots there might be clumsy, but sotis they strangely unnerved him.
Upon hearing this question, Lady Bunny, who was perusing docunts, responded without lifting her head, “This is information that only those with Level C Clearance or above have the privilege of accessing.”
“Level C and above?”
Colin wasn’t surprised, but what level was this Lady Bunny in front of him?
The tone of her voice felt as if it exceeded D Level…
“Yes, on that matter, all I can tell you is that you don’t have to worry about them as long as you don’t expose your imdiate coordinates. They only beco dangerous if you verbalize your imdiate coordinates.”
“Furthermore, if you’re confident, you can use a thod to expose your location indirectly to lure out and kill other ill-intentioned fish; this won’t attract their attention. However, I suggest that you have at least D Level clearance and the ability to use the Book of Fate as a reference without wholly relying on it; be fully prepared, especially for escaping.”
Imdiate coordinates refer to those “robots,” and indirect exposure ans luring so ill-intentioned fellows? Colin nodded thoughtfully.
He didn’t press further, but seeing that he had no more queries, Lady Bunny took out a thick stack of files from a drawer: “These are so people’s profiles; you can pick three from here to be on your team for your next entry into code number 13.”
To choose teammates?
Colin eagerly took the files, which contained a hundred or so people, who unlike him, seed to truly possess capabilities.
So were real war-seasoned elite soldiers, balding young academic experts, business-savvy geniuses… and the list went on.
These resus almost made
feel inferior, Colin wondered if his selection was due to his parents, whom he’d never t, perhaps being high-ranking officials in the company like in the novels?
Or did he have so legendary supre lineage?
Could it really just be because he was handso?
Oh, maybe he was simply chosen to be expendable, the one to roll the dice for luck, whoever rolled luck would go.
It was sowhat akin to Russian roulette; he didn’t know how many had died before him.
Shaking his head to dismiss the thoughts, Colin continued to read on.
Lady Bunny didn’t disturb him; instead, she took out another docunt and began to write in silence—she seed to have endless paperwork, not stopping once since Colin had arrived.
After an uncertain amount of ti and having read through all the resus, Colin discovered that these people, each formidable in their own right, had one thing in common: they all suffered from terminal illnesses, disabilities, psychological disorders, blood diseases, genetic defects, cancers, so even had the legendary pancreatic cancer…
Bonfire Company really liked to hire those not long for this world.
Colin sighed and then selected three individuals: a woman with achievents in surgery but was in the middle stage of pancreatic cancer, a retired person with a special background but missing limbs, and an average civil engineer with a good ntality.
They weren’t the best among the profiles, but their ntality and adaptability were the best.
As for their physical conditions, Colin wasn’t worried, for Bonfire Company would likely arrange for them to undergo “Soul Transference.”
