Chapter 774: Screaming (End of Volume)
Translator: CKtalon “The night is long; the Arbiter of Fate blesses thee.”
This respectful sentence echoed in Jiang Baimian’s ears, making her thoughts erupt. However, she felt that it wasn’t impossible if that was the case.
All the abnormalities in Big Boss seemed to receive an explanation.
Ji Ze lowered his right hand and turned around. He smiled at Shang Jianyao and
Jiang Baimian. “I know you still doubt me, but didn’t you find it strange? As the
Big Boss of Pangu Biology, ‘She’ doesn’t actually lead the company’s operations, participate in the board of directors’ various conferences, or often appear in front of the employees. ‘She’ only speaks to everyone through the radio at the end of the year. Won’t such a Big Boss be worried that ‘She’ will be made a figurehead and replaced? “Besides, normally speaking, since one is willing to do a radio speech, it’s easy to record a video and greet all the employees through the Rec Center’s large screens. Why is Big Boss unwilling to do so?
Jiang Baimian really didn’t understand why Big Boss had completely relinquished power and only spoke on the radio at the end of the year. She had even imagined many possibilities from the perspective of a conspiracy theory.
But after learning of the existence of New World powerhouses and their condition, she no longer had any doubts. She believed that Big Boss was such a person and that she had already entered the New World and could only return occasionally.
There were also many reasons not to do a video call. For example, she was dissatistied with her appearance. Therefore, she doubled dowm on genetic enhancement research every year. Another example was that her price was an inferiority complex, making her unwilling to meet people.
But if the premise was that Big Boss was equivalent to a Kalendaria, this would be better explainable.
Without needing Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao to think, Ji Ze spoke on their behalf. “Because Big Boss is a great Kalendaria and only occasionally casts ‘Her gaze over. I don’t know if your grandparents ever mentioned this to you. In their era, Big Boss acted this way. Even earlier, Big Boss also didn’t appear when the company first moved into the underground building. ‘She’ only issued orders through the board of directors and indirectly showed strength needed to protect most people. “All these years, Big Boss has never changed. ‘Her voice hasn’t changed either.
Haven’t you guys noticed?”
Isn’t this because some people make the claim-whether deliberate or unknowingly-that there’s a successor? In order to obtain the corresponding authority and fortify their faction, ir’s relatively normal for a successor to imitate their predecessor’s hairstyle, voice, and posture. This is mentioned in many Old World books.. Jiang Baimian criticized inwardly.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao also said, “Director Ji, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but you can’t just say it without evidence.”
He had already returmed to nomal and had a curious expression.
Ji Ze didn’t mind and smiled. “I understand.”
He faced the door beside the supercomputer again and respectfully said, “Thy mercy be praised!”
Just as Ji Ze said that, the entire hall suddenly turned black.
All the lamps here were clearly lit, but they couldn’t expel the darkness at all.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao felt like they were being stared at bya high-ranking existence again.
The blood in their bodies seemed to freeze instantly, and their hearts and breaths stopped.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to hear the footsteps of death and the great melody that extolled an eternal slumber. The memories that unconsciously flashed through their minds were the prelude to the song.
The next second, the light returned.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
The feeling of death receded like the tide. Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian’s hearts raced, almost jumping out of their throats.
With their rich experience facing a Kalendaria, it wasn’t difficult for them to conclusion: It was indeed one of the 13 Kalendarium that had been watching them.
Furthermore, from the strength characteristics displayed, it was none other than the Arbiter of Fate.
Shang Jianyao raised his arms and gently rocked a baby in his arms. He shouted without any scruples, “Newborns are likened unto the sun; life is what’s most important!
Jiang Baimian was rendered speechless and seriously considered whether she should do the same.
Upon seeing this, Ji Ze laughed. “Big Boss actually doesn’t like to proselytize.
She’ is more willing to interact with everyone as Pangu Biology’s protector, company boss, and board chairwoman.
On the one hand, every Kalendaria has their own special hobbies. On the other hand, it involves certain New World secrets. Therefore, apart from New World powerhouses and board members, only a few people in management know this secret for various reasons. This includes Xenny and Mei Shou’an. “You aren’t part of management yet. According to the rules, your rresponding memories need to be deleted; this is also your punishment. “Well, due to your actions today being a result of the importance and love you place toward the company, you will be exempted from any other punishment.
However, make this your last. Don’t worry; I’ll get the personnel in charge of the operation to leave you with the memories regarding the Life Ritual parish, as well as an impression that the company has plans toward the Arbiter of
Fate’s believers, so as to prevent this from happening again.”
This punishment is rather light.. After preliminarily confirming that Big Boss was the Kalendaria, Arbiter of Fate, Jiang Baimian suddenly felt a little dispirited.
Many of her previous worries had vanished.
The Life Ritual parish was just a naughty younger brother who refused to study well and didn’t have the capital or strength. They had long been infiltrated and was under control.
With a Kalendaria definitely present and a strength far greater than themselves, Jiang Baimian felt that it wasn’t a bad thing to believe in the
Arbiter of Fate.
All these years, Big Boss had always been one to be hands-off. She had never seen her make any requests of the employees.
At this thought, Jiang Baimian turned to glance at Shang Jianyao. She was more worried about this person’s attitude.
Shang Jianyao smiled. “Alright.”
He then pressed his chest and solemnly said, “The night is long; the Arbiter of
Fate blesses thee.”
Ji Ze was rather at ease with the current situation and pointed at the lobby door. “Go back to the stairwell. Someone will be there waiting to erase your relevant memories.” “Yes, Director ji.” Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and walked out of the hall.
Behind them, the metal sliding door closed inch by inch.
The two of them walked at a moderate pace in silence. Before long, they arrived at the emergency access entrance at the lowest level.
A man stood here. He wore a dark cap, a blue top, and black pants; his leather shoes were brand-new and shiny. “It’s you!” Shang Jianyao said in a tone as though he was meeting an old friend in a foreign land. “The person who wiped away a portion of my memories back then!
Yue Qjfan immediately felt a little embarrassed. “Those were all orders from the Doctor of the Church. It’s the same now. Do you think I want to? I almost died back then!”
Oh!” Shang Jianyao pointed at his leather shoes and said, “Have you saved enough contribution points to exchange for new leather shoes?
Yue Qifan couldn’t suppress the urge to argue. “What do you mean by saving up enough contribution points? I have a lot of contribution points. I just changed to a more comfortable pair of old shoes for convenience.” “Then, why didn’t you change it this time? Shang lianyao found a problem in his answer.
Yue Qifan snorted. “The order was issued in a rush, and it’s said that there won’t be any battles.”
Jiang Baimian interrupted their ‘conversation.’ “Let’s begin.”
Yue Qifan nodded, and his dark-brown eyes turned pure black.
On the 640oth floor, in the Order Supervisory Bureau that managed the 20 floors above and below.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen took their electronic photos and filled in the application form and personal information forms. Finally, they heard the staff at the window say, “After you sign your names, the registration is complete.
There’s no actual marriage certificate, but the corresponding information on your electronic card will be modified to ‘Married.’ You will be assigned a new room in a week.”
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong glanced at each other, picked up a pen beside them, and signed their names on the document handed over by the staf.
After completing this step, Long Yuehong mimicked some of the Old World’s entertainment and spread his arms to Bai Chen. “Happy marriage.” “Happy marriage.” Bai Chen returned the hug.
On the 647th floor, Room 14.
Jiang Baimian rubbed her head and returned to her seat as team leader. She sighed with emotion. “We can never underestimate a large faction like the company that has been running for decades. The problem has long been resolved.”
Shang Jianyao nodded. “That’s right, that’s right.”
He then leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples. Soon, his figure appeared in the Sea of Origins.
Shang ianyao quickly split into nine and cast his gaze at the rift that represented Xiaochong in midair, one that had fused with some white aura.
A figure crawled out-it was another Shang Jianyao.
He looked down at his peers and calmly said, “As long as I don’t completely crawl over, there’s no danger. Even if I crawl over, it shouldn’t be a problem since it’s Xiaochong over there.” “Why did you do that? the ruthless sShang lianyao asked in hatred and disgust.
The other Shang lianyao replied seriously, “I can’t accept the fact that the company has to tolerate the Life Ritual parish just because everyone is a believer of the Arbiter of Fate. Uncle Shen and the others won’t die in vain. Ill never forget it!” “So you took the risk of implicating everyone and hid in Xiaochong’s rift with the copied memories?” the ruthless Shang lianyao asked sharply. “Is this your justice, your abhorrence of evil?
The Shang lianyao frankly admitted, “Yes.” “Alright, stop arguing. Nothing happened anyway.” “The calm and rational
Shang Jianyao stroked his chin and said, “This matter happened to give me inspiration–inspiration to clear Room 506’s third psychological trauma.”
The Shang Jianyaos combined into one again and left their room to enter 506.
He skillfully pretended to clear the obstacles and create an explosion before facing the cold, stiff, and seemingly dead faces.
Shang Jianyao didn’t persuade them; he didn’t attempt to change the attitude of the people in the Fourth Research Institute’s residential area. Instead, he sat down cross-legged.
He frankly said, “There’s nothing wrong with my choice; such an outcome is inevitable. I just didn’t expect it to be so bad. I don’t pray for everyone to accept me again. I only plan on chanting sutras to send you off.”
He composed himself and got Zen Master Redemption to take over his body.
Zen Master Redemption looked at the corpse-ike humans, sighed, and chanted a Buddhist proclamation. “Namo Annutara-Samyak-Subhuti.
As the Buddhist proclamations sounded, the people’s expressions gradually softened as their eyes slowly closed.
They fell to the ground one after another, and black gas on them seemed to dissipate.
Toward the end, the Fourth Research Institute’s residential area began to collapse and fall into an endless darkness. *
Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and took the small speaker with a blue bottom and a black surface. He stroked it for a while before a smile slowly appeared on his face.
At this moment, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen returned to the office. “Done with the registration? Jiang Baimian asked with a smile. “That’s right.” Long Yuehong immediately extended an invitation. “Team
Leader, Hey. Let’s have lunch at 12 p.m. this weekend at the 495th floor’s Rec
Center.”
With enough contribution points, he planned on hosting a wedding with a few tables. “Sure, sure!” Shang Jianyao had an expectant expression.
Jiang Baimian nodded and smiled. “No problem.” “Good evening, everyone. I’m Newspoint broadcaster, Hou YI. It’s 8 p.m. now..
Shang Jianyao quietly listened to the radio and lay down. He waited until Room 506’s owner might be dreaming before entering the Mind Corridor and opening the corresponding door.
In the darkness, countless, dense blood-red eyes opened.
A faint whisper echoed endlessly. “Not bad. You’ve finally had a nightmare after all my efforts.” Shang lianyao smiled in relief. He then split into ten and transformed into the people in the
Fourth Research Institute’s residential area.
There was a white-haired old lady, a middle-aged lady with a good bearing, and a man in gold-rimmed glasses…
The entire dream froze as the pairs of blood-red eyes closed at the same time.
The Shang Jianyaos walked to separate locations in an attempt to make contact with the room owner’s consciousness.
Ten seconds later, a sharp voice sounded from all directions. “Don’t come over
The Shang Jianyaos didn’t stop walking
The voice fell silent for a moment before saying loudly, “Even if I hadn’t done anything or had chosen not to put up a resistance, all of you would’ve still died”
The next second, she shouted at the top of her lungs, “Were only livestock reared by the Kalendarium”
The Shang Jianyaos froze at the same time. (End of Volume 6-Surprise)
