Chapter 1076: 1074: Ready
[High-rise - Mobius Headquarters]
Barber Todd, rarely visiting in person.
And holding a general manager-level employee card in his hand, swiftly ascending the staircase until stopped at the door at the highest step.
Applying for permission to physically go to the actual mansion,
he arrived at that mysterious basent, Ruben’s favorite place to conduct research...yet Barber Todd didn’t see anyone upon descending into the basent, not even able to sense any aura.
This silence that shouldn’t exist was unsettling, even making him, the Fifth Disaster, uncomfortable, instinctively clutching a razor in his hand.
When he ca to the blackboard covered in writing, he suddenly sensed sothing and swiftly turned his head.
Five ters away,
behind the half-concealed surgical curtain, it seed a special surgery had just been completed,
and the iron bucket beneath the operating table seed full of wriggling things, so much so that he felt like there were eyeballs inside watching him.
Ruben was standing behind the curtain, with half of his body obscured while the other half of his normal body was exposed.
His face wasn’t masked by mosaic but simulated through nurous grids, showing a sowhat gloomy young man’s face, staring at the barber before him.
"What’s the hurry?"
"I’ve been exposed at the branch of the barber shop in the Sick Focus, and I need to report to you in person about a series of huge changes recently happening there."
"Does soone know I’m coming over?"
"Not sure, but the entire Sick Focus was suddenly mobilized one day ago, embarking on a rather massive project, seemingly aiming to establish a defense installation covering the world."
"Defense installation? Preparing for the impending Great Annihilation, perhaps?"
"Very likely, but we can’t rule out the possibility of your whereabouts being leaked."
The ever-cautious Ruben showed no change in expression, "It doesn’t matter~ as long as the entire Sick Focus exists in the current Cosmic Domain without the thought of escaping... However, they don’t have the capability to detach the whole world from the edge of the Cosmic Domain, breaking away from its own plane system.
Preparing well is a good thing, I can use them to test the results of the experint."
Having researched Patients for a long ti and stayed in the Sick Focus for a while, Barber Todd himself harbors so fear towards Patients,
although the overall strength of these pure creatures is not strong, their inner potential cannot be underestimated.
"Boss, you’d better pay so attention, although I haven’t found a big problem, but..."
The barber hadn’t finished speaking when the surgical curtain slowly opened, revealing the other half of Ruben’s body... just seeing this form, Todd was startled and took a step back, even holding a surgical knife entirely in front.
A sense of Fear gradually surfaced from Todd’s body, appearing for the first ti in his Life.
His arm holding the razor even began to tremble violently,
he had never experienced such a situation, not even when he first faced the oppressive domination brought by Ruben and Mobius.
For a mont, he couldn’t even speak, beads of malicious sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Do you think my stance needs to worry about these trivial changes? Since it’s exposed, go handle other things... Let’s go a day earlier."
"...Alright~ Boss, you already?"
"Not complete yet, otherwise more than half would have changed."
"Hmm."
Barber Todd wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly left.
Even after walking out of the high-rise, deep inside he was still afraid of Ruben’s half-body stance.
As for Ruben in the basent, after his body’s state beca relatively stable, his "Evil Brain" followed his inherent caution and listened to Todd’s warning.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, he stepped into the depths of the [Lighthouse ntal Hospital],
and upon his arrival, the entire hospital’s space beca disordered, with a large amount of dislocated text in the magazine held by the nurse, forcing her to slowly look up, seeing Ruben before her.
Unlike Barber Todd,
the nurse showed no expression changes,
"Anything the matter?"
"How’s William’s condition? (disordered)"
"Everything is normal, to ensure he doesn’t cause any trouble these few days, I specifically injected the No.1 tranquilizer." The nurse also looked up at the clock on the wall, with the pointers already distorted due to Ruben’s arrival, "I just did a check-up 3 minutes and 47 seconds ago, no issues."
"I need to check once more."
"Follow ."
The two proceeded together to the deepest ward,
unlike before, they didn’t even need a flashlight to drive away the cockroaches, which had already hidden away out of Fear.
Creaaak!
The iron door opened,
William, reduced to just a spine and skull by the cockroaches, was on the tal chair, with no suspicious spots, the tranquilizer fully effective, Ruben could feel William’s Thought had stagnated, unable to do anything.
Yet, Ruben didn’t imdiately leave, instead stepping forward.
Using the ’hand’ of his other half body, he gently tapped on William’s face, seemingly delivering so kind of warning.
...
[Hotel Headquarters]
Due to the Manager finding an unprecedented ’sensation’ at the Sick Focus and the Duke’s inclination for idleness and indulgence not belonging to the hotel, he was willing to spend more ti there daily.
So much so that Malice ended up acting as a standby Manager for over half of the ti to manage.
The effect William wanted was exactly this, seemingly anticipating that the Manager would find ’fun’ at the Sick Focus that the afflicted circle never provided.
Most of the ti, he utilized his actor’s trait to perfectly disguise as the Manager to run the hotel, turning into the slit-mouthed woman’s standby Manager appearance whenever free, going to the gym floor to watch Yi Chen and the forr Disasters’ combats.
As five full days passed,
the forr Disasters detained in the hotel took turns in battle, all eventually facing defeat.
Scattered in various forms in the Duel Arena, black death marks were left on their necks, signifying they had been beheaded, though not yet executed in reality.
At this mont,
Yi Chen was extending his arms, suspended in mid-air in a cross-like posture, the knot used as a tie on his neck rotating 180 upwards, presenting a hanged state after the massacre.
Anyone on this floor could hear the sound of real ocean waves, even other hotel residents would dream of a Black sea while Sleeping.
"Finally, everything is ready... Yi Bao has finally reached the end of the path of Death at the right ti! All actors are in place, the end show is about to begin."
Just as William was thrilled,
a discomfort suddenly ca from his right cheek, upon touching it, he imdiately felt unknown things wriggling beneath the Skin, with tentacle-like chaotic objects growing between the hair follicles as well.
"Yi Chen, quickly kill !"
Just as William made the request, his head separated from his body.
The joker virus’s fallback chanism triggered again, with William being reborn in an old man’s body in a certain underground club, his smile appearing extrely stiff. .
"Hiss... Ah~ are they raising the difficulty this much for ?"
