Chapter 619: Even Machines Need to Have Brains, Right?
This was the first time he had heard the title Mother Goddess from the mouth of a Plague Doctor.
Who was she?!
Was she the true culprit in power behind the Plague Doctor organization?!
It could be said that the Plague Doctor organization had been shrouded in mystery from its very inception. Although it was derived from their Night Doctors, there was virtually no news or rumors about the leader behind them. Even Sir Aiwen had never brought up the matter.
But anyone with common sense would know it was impossible for there not to be one.
Such a massive organization, with most of its members being despicable scoundrels who believed in Chaotic Evil. To maintain such an organization's system for a long time, if there wasn't an incredibly powerful existence behind it holding everything together, such an organization would collapse in an instant.
Just like the Flesh and Blood Cult - at least two Roots were stationed there to maintain that vast system.
What about the Plague Doctors?
What kind of existence stood behind the Plague Doctors?
"Doctor, may I ask who Her Majesty the Mother Goddess is?"Lynn asked tentatively.
He dared to ask this because he had searched through Losh's memories. Those memories were completely blank on this matter. All he knew was that behind their Plague Doctors stood an incredibly powerful and terrifying Evil God. But someone of his status would never have access to such information.
Doctor 315 said with a faint smile, "You've made a great contribution this time. After I officially appoint you as the Eighth Executive Officer of our branch, I will take you to personally meet the Mother Goddess and broaden your horizons."
Lynn immediately lowered his head, his face showing surprise. "Yes, Doctor!"
Lynn understood.
It was clearly impossible to pry anything out of this man's mouth. The only way was to subdue him, then subject him to a brutal interrogation.
"Doctor, what about those two? How should we handle them?"
Lynn maintained his subordinate demeanor and asked cautiously.
Doctor 315 slowly raised his hand and said, "Bring them here. But to prevent them from pulling any tricks, put cursed shackles on them. With such a good opportunity, how could we not let those two Roots outside observe?"
The High-ranking Officials around the First Chamber all revealed cold smirks. They could see through their Doctor's intentions at a glance.
How foolish.
Giving the chance to turn things around to two juniors, sending them alone into their Leviathan, wanting to carry out a decapitation strike - this was nothing short of a pipe dream.
"Yes, Doctor! I'll see to it immediately!"
Lynn also gave a complicit, sinister smile, then cut off his connection with the First Chamber.
And this was exactly what he wanted.
After cutting off the connection, Lynn immediately changed into that set of magnificent Plague Doctor robes, put on the Raven Mask, and then led his men, striding toward the corridor where Silver Fantasy and the others were being controlled.
...
In the corridor.
Silver Fantasy gritted her teeth as she was forcibly suppressed and bound by five Death-Omen Tier Puppets. Her fists were clenched tight, unable to move.
Beside her, Alice, disguised as Lynn, kept her head down, her expression calm and motionless.
"You're not him."
Silver Fantasy's voice instantly rang out in Alice's consciousness.
Alice's gaze immediately shifted. She glanced sideways at Silver Fantasy beside her.
"What do you mean?"
Silver Fantasy maintained that struggling and furious appearance, but the coldness hidden in her eyes did not diminish. Instead, it grew thicker.
Her icy voice rang out in Alice's mind once more.
"I'm not stupid. I can distinguish the difference between those Desire Bio-armaments and that guy's abilities. The Desire Strike abilities of the Plague Doctors and the Flesh and Blood Cult were already cracked and countered by us long ago. This isn't something that can be broken through with mere numerical advantage. What really worked was the ability he mixed in with his own. That guy just now was him."
Alice was momentarily speechless.
She said nothing, maintaining her silence. She knew that when faced with something she couldn't answer, not speaking wouldn't reveal any flaws.
Silver Fantasy stared coldly ahead and transmitted her voice sharply, "So this is also his plan?"
"He hasn't really betrayed us, has he? He wants to infiltrate their ranks, and then carry out a decapitation strike?"
Alice: "..."
Just as she was about to say something else, dense footsteps came from afar.
They turned their heads and saw puppet after puppet retreating woodenly to both sides. Losh (Lynn), wearing splendid attire and a pale Raven Mask, strode forward, surrounded by more than a dozen Plague Doctor Squad Leaders.
And before he even arrived, applause rang out first.
Lynn clapped his hands, revealing a sinister smile. He walked toward them step by step in the posture of a victor.
"Two ladies, who would have thought we'd meet again like this? Don't you find it ironic? After all that effort to infiltrate, you end up in my hands. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
The surrounding Plague Doctors all let out cold sneers. Silver Fantasy stared at him coldly, the killing intent in her eyes undiminished.
But it was very obvious.
Lynn could see something else in her eyes.
But Lynn remained unmoved. He kept a faint smile on his face, raised his hand, and a nearby Plague Doctor immediately and respectfully handed over two shackles engraved with curse inscriptions.
"But don't worry. Our Doctor isn't in a hurry to take your lives. He's very willing to see what expression your two Sovereigns will have when they see you kneeling before us."
"I think it will be very interesting."
Click—
Lynn looked down and personally placed the shackles imbued with the curse onto the "Lynn" before him.
Then he picked up the other set of shackles and turned to look at Silver Fantasy beside him with a mockingly provocative gaze. The strange, ironic smile in his eyes made Silver Fantasy feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
Then.
Lynn slowly leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Miss Intelligence Machine, even machines should have brains, right?"
[Ding! Silver Fantasy's anger toward you +10]
Accompanied by the System notification in his ear, Lynn watched the surging rage in her eyes, gave a slight smile, swiftly straightened up, and then directly placed the cursed shackles around her neck.
Without a doubt, even without Alice's report, he could see the suspicion in Silver Fantasy's eyes about his identity.
While being able to deceive her completely would indeed be more interesting.
But it was obvious.
It was somewhat difficult to truly fool this Mechanical Girl without leaving a trace.
After all, he was the only man who had left an indelible mark both inside and outside her body and mind. She would definitely be very sensitive about whether it was the real him. Just like when you get used to someone's size, when you try another one, you can definitely feel the difference immediately.
And since that was the case, Lynn might as well stop pretending.
