Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

Shen Yu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel surprised.

That shouldn't be the case. Although the Knight's Shadow spell has higher damage, it doesn't have the ablative effect.

Furthermore, Lobotomy Corporation is a product extracted from someone's consciousness by injecting Cogito into them. In a sense, it is a large-scale abnormality.

A facility that even the god-like ALEPH-class Abnormalities could not completely break through was dissolved so easily.

Could it be that the knight accidentally traveled through time after being upgraded, encountered a bug, and gained some of the attributes of the Void God?

Thinking of this, Shen Yu suddenly felt happy. Since the void can erode the company, doesn't this mean that he can just pick up the bucket and run away?

No, no. Shen Yu frowned.

The headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation is somewhere unknown deep underground. Judging from the ending CG, it is at least several thousand meters above the ground. Even if one digs open the company, one will never be able to climb up in one's lifetime.

From this point of view, the only option is to get the true ending, then wait for the company to reach the surface, smash the wall and run away.

Shen Yu glanced at the screen and couldn't help feeling a headache.

But I am an obsessive-compulsive manager who pursues the survival of all employees and achieving all S-level evaluations. How many times will I have to restart the game?

…………

Terry is an ordinary Level II employee in the Control Department. He is dreaming of getting rid of the low-level employees and enjoying delicious juicy steaks in the buffet restaurant.

But just now, his beautiful dream was shattered by the electric current coming from his arm. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at his watch, but was instantly frightened by the message on it and broke out in a cold sweat.

The supervisor’s call!

If it was when he first joined the company, he might be happy, but now he is only worried and afraid.

The supervisor was as cold and efficient as a machine, with collecting energy as his primary goal.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

In order to prevent the abnormalities from escaping, he can personally execute all employees with "execution bullets" and exchange low-level employees for the management information of the abnormalities.

In fact, each department has an emergency exit for employees to escape, but those exits have never been opened.

Terry once saw a clerk crying and crawling with a broken leg, begging his supervisor to open the exit, but was eventually chewed up and dug out by the giant dog-like entity behind him▇▇.

In the eyes of supervisors, company employees are nothing more than cheap consumables, and only level V employees get a little attention.

But even for Level V employees, the supervisor will not hesitate at all when it comes to consumption.

A meeting with a company executive might be a mixed blessing, but this is Lobotomy, and their executive is like a machine, so the probability of happiness is less than one percent.

There were many employees who received summons from their supervisors, but most of the time, they disappeared, completely vanishing.

But Terry knew he could not disobey. If he disobeyed the order, the easy punishment would be execution, but the more terrifying punishment would be "dismissal".

The Level V senior who was killed by the "train" yesterday once said:

He once saw a "fired" employee in the food of the "Unknown Monster Baby". And in the abnormal containment unit of the "Spider's Nest", he could always hear a faint and miserable cry for help...

Terry glanced at the TETH-level EGO: Loneliness beside the bed, and became even more pessimistic about his fate.

EGO is a prototype device created from the core extracted from the Abnormality, and is used by Lobotomy Corporation employees to work on and suppress the Abnormality.

The EGO equipment has terrifying potential. It is said that if someone can fully stimulate it, they can even defeat the existence that rules the city.

But Terry was not that kind of special person, so he had no right to refuse. He could only simply put on EGO, use his watch to open the protective door of the employee dormitory, and enter the company.

Several lights illuminated the facility, and the ground was littered with various broken limbs and arms, blood coagulated into a dark red color, emitting a sweet and fishy smell. The walls were covered with claw marks or dents left by impact, mixed with fine pieces of human tissue.

The cleaning staff quietly carried out the aftermath, carefully picking up the scraps of meat and internal organs on the ground and sweeping them into the trailer. There was not much expression on their faces, as if they were used to it.

A mountain of corpses had piled up in the lounge of the central headquarters. After the cleanup crew had dumped the remains from the trailer, they turned around and went elsewhere.

Terry glanced at the pile of corpses and couldn't help but think of yesterday. His body trembled with fear and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Just yesterday, the company's third-level alarm sounded, a large number of company abnormalities fled, and the instructions of the supervisor who was almost always right were completely confused.

According to the surviving senior staff, this was because the supervisor's cognitive filter accidentally failed, and he directly saw the abnormality in the containment room, 0-03-89 [DATA EXPUNGED].

Even that supervisor was driven crazy by the Abnormality, how long could he live? Terry lowered his head and walked towards the passage outside the lounge.

When Terry left, the pile of corpses stood alone under the dim light. The corpse on the far left suddenly shook, and then a bloody iron hook broke out of the body...

When Terry arrived at the door of the supervisor's office, he found the beautiful assistant standing quietly outside the door, but he had no time to admire her. He could only drag his heavy steps to inform her of the information.

The other party did not stop him, but opened the door after a few words of encouragement.

Terry finally got to meet the supervisor, but he looked very ordinary, so ordinary that he couldn't find any characteristics to describe him.

This made him feel strange, because the abnormalities such as the "Old Woman" he was working with also had this characteristic.

Shen Yu looked at the slightly trembling employee in front of him, and after remembering the setting of the Lobelia Corporation, he smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to 'deal' with you or send you on a mission. I called you here this time because I want to study the EGO you're using.

"So," Shen Yu patted the other person's shoulder and pointed to the lounge next to him.

"Let me borrow your EGO first, then go get some sleep."

"What?" Terry blinked. "Just, that's it?"

"Why," Shen Yu smiled, "Do you want a promotion?"

"No, I definitely don't think so." Terry waved his hands repeatedly, feeling great fear at the word promotion.

So he obeyed the order decisively, replaced EGO, and walked to the lounge in a suit.

Hehe, live another day, praise God, no, praise the boss!

Terry was secretly happy and walked towards the lounge with light steps, but when he was halfway there, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow on the left wall out of the corner of his eye, but after a careful search he found nothing.

Hey, I'm so suspicious. How could there be an Abnormality in the supervisor's office? This is the safest place in the entire company.

Terry stretched, opened the lounge, and rolled over into the extremely comfortable bed.

Shen Yu looked at the closed door and immediately used his authority to seal the lounge. The little knight then landed from the sky and came in front of EGO.

"This company is really shady." Shen Yu glanced at the lounge and recalled the other party's silly expression before.

This makes me, a supervisor staying in the office with beautiful women around me, feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Yu retracted his gaze and asked the little knight to use the Dream Nail on EGO Lonely.

The little knight bent his body and took out an instrument that looked like a musical instrument, a maracas. However, the front end was a core engraved with precise patterns, emitting a dreamy and ethereal lavender glow.

The ethereal light gathered at the core, and with a "ding" sound, precise circular patterns burst out, and a dazzling dreamlike long spike was formed, and hit EGO with a "clang".

As the Dream Nail collided with EGO, countless circular wheels with different patterns burst out, illuminating the entire office.

Chapter 3: Void God's Residence

When the light faded, the original EGO disappeared alone, leaving only a ball of golden light and golden circles flashing around it.

Shen Yu picked up the little knight who wanted to absorb the ball of light, put him aside, and then carefully touched the ball of light with his index finger.

The moment he touched the ball of light, a strong feeling of loneliness instantly emerged in his heart. Shen Yu subconsciously withdrew his hand, and it took him a long time to calm down his emotions.

Shen Yu turned around and found that the little knight was looking up at him, holding the dazzling Dream Nail in his right hand.

Seeing this, Shen Yu squatted down, touched the other person's big head, pointed at the ball of light and said:

"Do you know how to restore that?"

In fact, Shen Yu had no idea at all. It was surprising enough that the Dream Nail could work on EGO. He wanted to know more whether the little knight could understand what he said, after all, he could not speak "insect language".

But the little knight did not nod or shake his head, but just walked in the direction Shen Yu pointed.

"Ah..." Shen Yu sighed. Did he have to learn insect language? "Gala ma?"

At this time, the Knight had arrived in front of the ball of light and summoned the Dream Nail again, slashing it forward.

As the dreamy light faded, the intact EGO lay alone and quietly in its original position.

Shen Yu: (゜-゜)

Shen Yu touched the little knight's head, picked up EGO Loneliness and put it on.

The moment Shen Yu put on EGO, he suddenly felt as if his body was covered with a layer of shell.

After trying a few exercises, I was surprised to find that my speed, strength, reaction ability and other body functions have been greatly improved.

Moreover, although he had never touched a firearm before, the rusty revolver was like his own limbs, and the methods of aiming, shooting, etc. appeared directly in his mind.

Is this what is called wearing someone else's shell? Shen Yu looked at the equipment on his body and chuckled.

EGO's idealistic armor really lives up to its reputation.

Then Shen Yu used his authority to briefly check the information of this EGO.

EGO: Loneliness

Level: TETH

arms

Appearance: A rusty revolver

Template: Pistol, Attribute: Spirit

Attack: 2-3, Attack Speed: Very Fast, Distance: Long (10)

Armor

Appearance: Purple top, blue trousers, similar to special combat uniforms.

Resistance: (multiplicative, lower the better)

Physical 1.5, Spirit 0.8, Corrosion 0.8, Soul 2.0

In Lobotomy Corporation, the level of EGO is generally the same as the danger level of the source abnormality, from low to high:

ZAYIN: This level of abnormality shows almost no aggression, and can even have a positive impact on employees under the right circumstances. (In addition to the two old perverts in sheep's clothing, there is also a "sweeping monk".)

TETH: It will hurt or even kill employees, but it will not cause too much harm. (Except for some scammers who bring mechanisms to kill)

HE: Can easily kill several employees.

WAW: has amazing destructive power

ALEPH: (?) In Hebrew mystical philosophy (Kabbalah), it refers to God or deity.

If a TETH-level EGO alone can provide such a powerful gain, what will the ALEPH-level EGO be like?

However, let's fulfill that wish first. Shen Yu thought, put the lonely EGO weapon on his waist, lowered his head and said to the little knight:

"When I fall asleep, hit me with the dream nail."

As mentioned before, the Dream Nail can cut through the veil of reality and allow the holder to enter the dream world. The dreams of the living are often related to their regrets.

As a Hollow Knight player, it is a pity that I can't play Silksong. So people always say, if you want to play Silksong, just hit yourself with the Dream Nail.

And now there is a Dream Nail in front of me, wouldn’t it be nice to take it away and feel at ease?

Shen Yu opened the drawer that Angela mentioned, found the sleeping pills from it, swallowed them mixed with water, and then lay down on the office chair with his eyes closed.

As the screen went out, Shen Yu also saw his current appearance, an ordinary young man.

Strange, why is it different from the game? While Shen Yu was thinking, a dream nail hit his knee firmly.

As the light flashed, Shen Yu found that everything in front of him suddenly turned white.

Ha, it worked. Shen Yu was happy, looking forward to what his dream would be, but after a long time, there was still a white light in front of him, and the dream did not appear at all.

What happened? Shen Yu switched to the third-person perspective of the little knight and found that he and EGO had turned into a mixed ball of light.

What happened? I turned into light? Shen Yu resisted fatigue and thought, and suddenly remembered something:

X is the existence after A's memory was cleansed, but his current appearance is different from that in the plot, and he does not have A's golden eyes.

In addition, in "The Ruined Library", Angela can use the Seed of Light to shape the human body.

Could it be that the one I traveled through was not the original one, but a light-made one? Then where did the original X/A go?

When the knight saw Shen Yu didn't move, he planned to shake him awake. When Xiao Yuan's hand touched the ball of light, Shen Yu suddenly felt a huge suction force, and then his eyes went black.

Okay, let's play it off.

When Shen Yu woke up, he found himself in an endless void. The strange thing was that his body was clearly a ball of light. Where did he get the vision?
