Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

"But Malkuth, we can remember those sacrifices and the blood and tears, and carry them with us into the future."

Hearing this, Malkuth looked at the other party in surprise, smiled bitterly and said:

"Director, it seems that we have different ideas. I have always wanted to see the essence of things. And today I saw that you saved them."

At this moment, Malkuth lowered his hand from the memo and looked directly at X.

"The past cannot be changed. This place is still as hopeless and cold as the bottom of the sea. We are crawling in the abyss, experiencing endless darkness."

At this moment, in X's eyes, Malkuth's figure twitched like an old TV screen, flashing with snowflakes, and finally returned to a square machine.

At the same time, the squeaky synth voice slowly came out:

"When despair is strangling your throat and your body is bound by the thorns of pain, please do not give up. The dead have paved a new path for us with their blood and tears. How can we let their sacrifice go to waste?"

"We have long lost the right to give up. All we have left is to move forward, and only move forward."

At the same time, a sentence suddenly rang in the minds of X and the original body Shen Yu: the belief of walking with your head held high.

【Kingdom】 (Malkuth) The mental structure has been completed.

Chapter 104: Courtesy first, then attack

Is the mind structure complete?

When this message rang in his mind, Shen Yu suddenly felt as if something was added to his heart. And only then did he realize that his heart was extremely empty.

X looked at his body and thought slowly.

After passing through the master's divine residence, although I completed the advancement of life, I lacked the spiritual structure. This separation further led to the balance between life and death instincts being broken.

Due to the constant suppression of the death instinct and the induction of divinity, one's own consciousness has begun to seek death.

How to complete the spiritual aspects of the Sephirah... X turned his head and looked at the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The ten Sephirahs above corresponded to the ministers one by one.

According to the setting, Lobotomy Corporation is built based on the Kabbalah Tree of Life. In the endless cycle, it finds the spiritual enlightenment of the "perfect man" and sends it to the city.

After the core of each minister was suppressed, the corresponding spiritual insights he learned could just fill in the missing spiritual points after his life was promoted.

This is too much of a coincidence. Shen Yu's heart suddenly sank, and he turned his head to look upwards, only to see the monitor in the corner, staring at everyone quietly.

"Malkuth," X pressed his head, "If you're okay now, we still have to attend a meeting with other ministers."

"Boss, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Malkuth suddenly shouted, then looked at the clock on the left, then grabbed X and ran out the door.

"We have to be faster. We have already wasted 5 minutes."

……

Bang! The door of the conference room was pushed open, and then Malkuth's square figure rushed in. Behind him was the supervisor who was being pulled by his sleeve and had to bend over and run.

Due to this way of running, the white research suit that X was wearing fell off his left shoulder, and most of it was hung on his right arm. The lower part was stained with blood and other unknown liquids due to the long dragging.

"Boss, your style is quite unique." Netzach took a sip of beer, pointed at the other party and said with a smile, "I'll try it someday."

"Manager," Yesod on the left looked at the time, "The meeting has already started. You have one minute to get dressed."

"That's not my problem," X complained, standing up again, straightening his clothes, pulling over a chair and sitting down between Netzach and Yesod.

Hod pulled out a chair next to him and looked at Malkuth with a chuckle.

But Malkuth shook his head, put the memo on the table, took a step back and said:

"Everyone, I know that I have caused great harm to the company, and before that, due to my impatience, I made mistakes... Perhaps, I am not suitable to be the director anymore. However, please give me another chance and let me start from the civilian staff..."

Before Malkuth finished speaking, she saw her memo being handed to her. When she looked up, she found Angela standing in front of her with the tattered memo in her hand.

"Malkuth, I'm sorry. I had to say those words to you for some reason. Don't worry, you are the only Sephirah in the Control Department."

Angela returned the memo to Malkuth, and then returned to her original position in the confused eyes of everyone.

Wait, is this allowed? This is a direct hint at the script.

Just as X was sighing, he felt his right arm being touched. He turned around and found that it was Netzach who came over. The other party pointed at Angela and asked in a low voice:

"Has she been infected with some virus again?"

"This..." X's mouth twitched, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that Yesod was also staring at him intently.

Why are you like this, Viper? X complained in his mind, then faltered to explain:

“Maybe she wants to try something new.”

"New things?" Netzach silently took a sip of beer. "This really doesn't suit her personality."

"People always change. Netzach, you also gave up enkephalin and started drinking beer instead."

"Ha, it's because beer is the only drink here. Besides, do I still remember your promise?"

"Okay," X nodded. After looking around, he found that there was no one around TipherethA (Lisa), so he asked Netzach:

"Where's Tiphereth B?"

"It only takes one Tiphereth to be present at the meeting." Yesod closed his eyes and replied, "That child is very unstable. TipherethA is present at all meetings."

Is it very unstable? Hearing this, X clenched his hands slightly, thinking of the half child in the world of the monster baby. Although he successfully brought it back to reality with the help of the little knight, he had no idea how to heal and complete the other party's soul.

But speaking of souls, there is a guy in Shenju who studies this aspect. It just so happens that today's work is temporarily over, maybe I can find a chance to meet him, if not...

"Everyone," Angela suddenly spoke up, interrupting X's thoughts, and then slowly narrated:

"In recent times, a lot of things have happened in the company. Employees have collectively gone insane, related surveillance has failed, and the strange disappearance of the anomalies [F-02-58] (Big Bad Wolf) and [O-01-15] (Unnamed Monster Baby)...

And there is also a part related to the supervisor. For example, a new unknown abnormality, and the abnormality task force formed based on it..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"This..." Hearing this, X leaned back silently on the chair and turned to look at the gazes of the ministers.

"However," at this moment, Angela's voice came again:

"As the supervisor said, judging whether something is good or bad cannot be based on subjective judgment alone, but can only be verified through practice."

Hearing this, X let out a long breath, but noticed from the corner of his eye that Hod next to Malkuth had lowered his head for some reason and pursed his lips tightly.

"Angela," Yesod said, "but the Abnormality Task Force plan is too dangerous. Allowing those abnormalities to roam around in the company will pose a huge safety hazard to the company and its employees."

"Don't worry. With the help of our cooperation with other companies, we are fully capable of handling this crisis. It's just a matter of consuming a little more energy." Angela suddenly looked at X.

"My limited energy shouldn't be a problem for the supervisor."

"Yes." X nodded. "If the Abnormality Task Force's experiment is successful, it can greatly reduce the casualties of employees. You have seen the specific situation today."

"The director is right," Angela chuckled. "Now let's ask the Sephirah from the R&D department to express their opinions."

"Who?" Hearing this, X suddenly straightened up and turned to look at the open screen.

In the darkness, a figure in a robe with golden patterns slowly emerged.

"Binah," Angela suddenly said, "Can you please tell me when those abnormalities were extracted and sent directly to the company, bypassing the company's original pipeline and monitoring facilities?"

Hearing this, X was suddenly stunned and complained in his heart, so you are here to use courtesy first and then force.

Chapter 105: Former Supervisor

On the screen, Binah was wearing a black robe with a bunch of light black fur around her neck. Golden patterns clung to the robe in a honeycomb-like shape, glowing faintly in the darkness.

The robe was thick, as if every inch of it had been weathered by the years. Under the neat black short hair was a plain, pale face.

"What's the matter?" Binah glanced at everyone and asked casually.

"Binah," Angela looked at the other party, "I want to ask you about the information of the Abnormalities "Quirro" and "Marcos". Why don't they have any numbers? Also, how did the supervisor communicate with you and let you send the Abnormalities directly to the company?"

"Well," Binah turned his head slowly upon hearing this, and looked straight at X with his deep eyes, so that X could clearly see the teardrop mole at the left corner of his eye, and the barely perceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.

So Shen Yu controlled X to keep a calm face and gave the other person a look that said you understand.

"Ah..." Binah raised his head slightly, as if he remembered something.

"I received an urgent order to extract a batch of abnormalities for an experimental project. I don't want to keep a record of the numbers.

"From what I can see so far, it should be the experiment that the supervisor reported earlier."

"So, what about the disappeared Abnormalities [F-02-58] (Big Bad Wolf) and [O-01-15] (Unknown Monster Baby)?"

"Those two you're talking about?" Bina looked to the left and looked at Angela.

"Soon after the order to extract it was issued, my superiors asked me to send [F-02-58] to the branch while it was dormant."

(Note: According to Chapter 36 of the official comic, the branch can move the Abnormal Containment Room)

"As for [O-01-15], my superiors ordered me to send him away after employee S111 (Shen Yu) handled the emergency."

"Binah," Angela turned to look at the other party, "Can you guarantee that what you said is true?"

"These words are like an inscription carved with a hammer. They will not be moved even after thousands of years of wind and rain." Binah resumed his previous indifferent attitude, glanced at X and said calmly:

"Also, the relevant surveillance and records have been cleared, and the employees involved have lost their memories. You can ask your supervisor to verify this."

"Angela, since this is a decision made by our superiors, what else is there to discuss?" Netzach yawned and said, "Let's end the meeting quickly. I've drunk too much. I want to go back and lie down."

"Netzach, I have to take back what I said before, you're doing a good job, you're still garbage." Tiphereth leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.

"Whatever you say, I don't want to work overtime anyway." Netzach looked up at the ceiling and said casually.

"That's the content of the meeting for now," Angela stood up, then thought of something and turned to Hod and said:

"Minister Hod, your employee psychological planning can proceed as normal."

"What?" Hearing this, X was stunned for a moment. Did Angela not want to suppress the core? This was a necessary element of the Seed of Light.

After saying that, Angela closed her eyes and waited for the voice to sound, but after a long time, the voice did not sound. Instead, another different voice came:

"Angela, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Angela opened her eyes, looked at the supervisor's face which was different from before, and shook her head.

"Nothing, just a test. But now it seems to be true."

Test? Restore Hod's psychological plan... Wait, she doesn't want to test whether the Seed of Light script will be restarted?

In the game, the "script" cannot tolerate any deviation, especially when it comes to the minister's psychology. But this time... I almost made a hole in the company. But the script still worked normally.

From this point of view, there must be some changes in the script, but my authority is not enough to check it. From Angela's performance, she seems to be unfamiliar with the current script.

So, what is the ultimate purpose of the script now? Thinking of this, X suddenly felt a headache, but fortunately, there is still the little knight.

As the meeting ended, the heads of various departments left one after another, and Angela reminded the supervisor beside her:

"Boss, we should go too."

"Well, Angela, you go first. I want to talk to this Bi... er, the director of the R&D department."

"Chat?" Angela was stunned when she heard that and looked at Binah who was silent beside her.

That makes sense. After all, according to the normal situation in the past, the supervisor would have to wait until the later stage to meet the other party, so curiosity was inevitable. So Angela nodded and instructed X:

"I understand, boss, but please don't stay up too late. After all, you need enough rest."

After speaking, Angela turned and left the meeting room.

After hearing the footsteps fade away, X moved his chair back, put his legs on the table, turned around and said to the screen:

"Binah, thanks for today."

"It doesn't matter. In this coffin-like place, it's always good to have more new things. But..." Binah turned to look at X and asked slowly:

"A sleeping butterfly transforms in its dreams, and leaves behind yesterday's marks when it spreads its wings. Why do you have nothing at all? Is it because the old friend has passed away, or is it because the bees have eaten your body and replaced you with a new life?"

Want to riddle me again? Hearing this, X frowned slightly.

Translated into human language, it should be: "Even if you are a cocoon and a butterfly, there will be differences. You are completely different from the original. Is it that the previous supervisor died and was replaced. Or...

Hiss, is the latter sentence doubting time travel? No, no, there are many strange things in the city, it should be doubting whether someone else took over the body of the supervisor and changed his appearance.

So Shen Yu thought about it and replied:

"The starlight has never dimmed, but the trajectory of the light has been hidden. Can you uncover the fog and restore the mystery to the original state?" (I have always been like this, but I have lost my memory. Tell me.)

"Oh, so did you touch the fragment in the mist?"
