Chapter 601: Guards! Cuff Me Up!
Chapter 601: Guards! Cuff Me Up!
Lynn surveyed the blood-soaked scene around him with a heavy gaze. Anyone could see the suppressed fury radiating from their Executive at this very moment, terrifying all the nearby Plague Doctors into silence, not daring to breathe or move.
Lynn’s voice was hoarse. "Has the situation been fully investigated? When that Night Doctor infiltrated, didn’t they detect a single thing?!"
One of the high-ranking Plague Doctors, drenched in sweat, immediately dropped to one knee and stammered with his head bowed, "R-report, Executive! We’ve reconstructed the incident from the account of the severely wounded squad member. According to his testimony, that Night Doctor indeed disguised himself as one of our own personnel and entered the Rest Area through the main entrance. But… but…"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Lynn roared in fury, kicking over a nearby chair with such force that the surrounding Plague Doctors trembled like frightened birds.
He then pointed sharply at the tailworm detection device by the entrance and bellowed, "Are you trying to tell me those monitoring bio-armaments at the door are completely useless?! Huh?!"
The Plague Doctor Squad Leader turned pale with terror, bowing his head as sweat poured down, and rushed to explain, "Executive, that’s not what I meant! But… when that Night Doctor infiltrated here, those tailworm detection devices didn’t react at all! If we’d received any warning, there’s no way we wouldn’t have tracked his movements!"
"I suspect that Night Doctor must have already mastered some method to bypass detection. Otherwise, how could he have silently breached our interior? We’ve installed these devices at every node!"
After finishing, the squad leader trembled and squeezed his eyes shut, kneeling motionless on the ground, terrified that the Executive would vent his anger and execute him on the spot.
But Lynn had no intention of executing him.In fact, he mentally gave him a thumbs-up.
*Nice!*
*(¬_¬)Sneaky glance.*
As expected of my divine teammate—you’ve given your Executive boss a perfect assist.
Since the conversation had reached this point, shouldn’t I just roll with it?
Thinking this, Lynn’s visible anger gradually subsided. With a dark expression, he turned to face the tailworm detection device at the entrance and said, "So, you’re suggesting these devices can’t accurately identify a person’s identity?"
The trembling Plague Doctor lowered his head and whispered, "Y-yes…"
Lynn narrowed his eyes, then waved his hand to dismiss the people behind him. Under everyone’s watchful gaze, he walked coldly to the detection device, extended his hand, and used his authority to heal the broken machine.
Then, he squinted.
Under the crowd’s stunned observation, Lynn strode over and stopped directly under the device’s scan.
*Ding!!*
**[RED LIGHT]!**
"Warning! Warning! Unidentified unit detected! Unidentified unit detected! Immediate elimination required! Immediate elimination required!"
Everyone: "(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))?!"
Lynn: "╬!!"
An eerie silence fell over the entire area.
All the Plague Doctors stood frozen, mouths agape in shock, as if turned to stone. The only sound was the blaring alarm, making the silence so absolute that you could hear a pin drop.
Lynn closed his eyes, while "╬" marks exploded above his head one after another. "Someone! Take me down and kill me!"
Everyone: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
The surrounding Plague Doctors were thrown into a panic, scrambling wildly and rushing over to beat the tailworm detection device with frenzied fists.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
This broken machine! A completely broken machine!
It was already wildly inaccurate! It dared to flash a red light at their own Executive—it must have gotten tired of living!
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
If the Executive flew into a rage, wouldn’t they all end up castrated and turned into organic waste?!
*Bang, bang, bang, bang—*
The panicked and furious crowd hammered the device relentlessly.
"Executive! This must be an accident! It’s probably just this one machine that’s faulty! The rest should still work!"
"Please don’t take it to heart! This piece of junk has no sense of discretion!"
Finally.
After the combined assault of over a dozen Plague Doctors.
That tailworm detection bio-armament was successfully beaten into pieces.
*Plop—*
An eyeball rolled out and landed right in front of Lynn.
He *smack* stepped on it, crushing it thoroughly, then ground it into the floor as he said deeply, "Another worthless piece of junk from the Bio-armament Factory. It’s delayed my important business. This isn’t your fault. I’ll report this to the Doctor immediately and request a replacement identity verification method!"
Without another word.
Lynn promptly and seriously reconnected to the First Chamber, reporting everything that had happened to Doctor 315 in full detail.
He elaborated on the severity of the incident with some embellishment, then threw a figurative bucket of blame onto the high-ranking officials of the Bio-armament Factory. After that, Lynn proposed an urgent request to implement a new identity verification measure.
As expected, Doctor 315 quickly approved Lynn’s request.
Doctor 315’s voice was raspy. "You don’t need to report to me. This matter is entirely in your hands. You can now use any resource within Leviathan. If you need a new identity verification device, go to the Plague Research Department and find a suitable serum. I’ll inform them to fully cooperate with your work."
"Thank you, Doctor!" Lynn saluted with fervent zeal.
Soon.
The connection with the First Chamber was terminated. Lynn waved his hand, strode forward, and said grimly, "Let’s go! Take some men with me to the Plague Research Department! The rest of you stay on alert. Report any developments to me immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Plague Doctors saluted, thumping their chests.
…
Soon.
Lynn led a group of men, storming through various corridor nodes with an intimidating presence, until they reached the area of the Plague Research Department.
The massive, flesh-and-blood gate slowly rose, and a bare-armed Lynn, accompanied by dozens of Plague Doctors, strode boldly inside.
Dozens of Plague Doctors working in the department, clad in white coats, had already been notified and were waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Lynn, they immediately bowed in salute.
"Executive, I’m the director here and also the Doctor’s assistant. You can call me Doctor 401."
Lynn’s gaze flicked.
It landed on the lead Plague Doctor, dressed in a white coat and wearing a Plague Doctor Mask. His stat panel instantly materialized before Lynn’s eyes.
**[Doctor 401 · Ryan]**
**[Level]**: 96
**[Race]**: Stitched Person
**[Alignment]**: Chaotic Neutral
**[Combat Ability]**: His true strength lies not in force, but in knowledge.
**[Introduction]**: A Plague Doctor within Leviathan’s branch, specializing in plague research. He is one of the Elder Plague Doctors who departed Nightfall City alongside Daybreak and Doctor 315 in the early exodus. A non-combatant with vast knowledge, he once assisted Daybreak in developing numerous devastating plagues and remains a powerful Potion Master hunted by the Night Doctor Alignment.
Lynn quickly scanned the panel’s introduction.
So, they were all from the "En" generation.
Figures.
Every creature with "En" in their name turned out to be a profoundly knowledgeable success story.
