The headset rang: "Well, very good! It seems that you can solve the problem on your own without asking for my guidance!"
Du Jue heard a hint of disappointment in the positive tone, and immediately reflected on himself. He realized that being responsible for Angela did not require ordinary achievements. After all, it was impossible for the current ministers to demote one and replace him, so he needed to give the credit to his superiors.
"I take the minister as my role model. Since you let Song Ya go in the conference room, you must want to cultivate him gently. Otherwise, I think such unqualified employees should be fired directly."
Ilia in the minister's office was a little skeptical. She remembered that she had actually wanted to fire Song Ya from the beginning, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said, "That's right! Although I don't know how difficult it is to be promoted to a second-level finisher in a month, I think you do have extraordinary talents!"
"But as my deputy, you will also have to participate in the work on the Abnormalities. Do you have any questions? If you have any concerns, I will also consider them carefully!"
[Don't worry about dying. You're part of the plan now. If anything unexpected happens, I'll have the supervisor rewind time.]
Angela was really watching him all the time, which made Du think that he might be monitored from all angles while he slept at night.
With the assurance of a real boss, there's no need to confidently answer, "Of course, Minister! I will carry out all your orders!"
However, Illya in the office looked unhappy when she heard this. She couldn't believe that Du Jue, as an employee who joined the Lobotomy Corporation on the first day, didn't even know what an Abnormal was, so why didn't he seek guidance from her!
Even though Du Jue has done a good job so far, how can he possibly handle everything by himself? Du Jue must get guidance from others!
“Great mentality!”
Ilia's tone remained high. "However, Abnormality work cannot be compared to outside commissions. I have sent someone to deliver the four types of work standards. Please read them carefully!"
After taking the folder handed to him by the clerk next to him, Du Jue had to stand at the door and use it to pass the time.
To be honest, many things about the Abnormalities are kept secret from employees for many reasons - the experimental process is too cruel and ruthless, the Abnormalities' own cognition is distorted, and the related news is too horrifying.
Therefore, the employees only got a rigid operating manual, which was not as useful as eliminating the game information in their minds. Of course, he didn't care about it, not to mention that there was the attentive Miss Angela to help.
【0-03-03One sin and a hundred virtues.
It feeds on the "sins" that emerge from words. Employees assigned to perform tasks are required to confess their sins to it and repent.
Du Jue was holding the folder given by Illya, and was actually browsing the information about the anomalies sent by Angela. These anomalies were strange and had weird abilities like world bugs.
"Hoo, hoo! Thank you for being here." Song Ya, who finally emerged from the containment room, was sweating profusely, but his spirits were clearly better. Seeing Du Jue reading some documents at the door, he was clearly grateful: "It seems that not all Abnormalities are dangerous. Maybe I can really survive."
"Du Jue, the results of this work are good, but not enough! Now you go in!"
Ilia anxiously ordered, "If you feel you still need guidance, then someone else can take your place. The Control Department will also relax the standards for newcomers who haven't received full training."
Anyway, with Angela on his side, Du Jue didn't panic at all. He had never done such a reassuring job before. In most cases, going back in time could save everything. "An order is an order! Minister, I won't make excuses for myself!"
After watching Du Jue hand the information to Song Ya on the screen, Ilia entered the holding room without hesitation. For a moment, she ignored the applications and reports sent by other employees. She was a little puzzled as to how Angela recruited the other party.
Even though she grew up in the nest, she knew that a second-level finisher was considered a big shot in the industry, and a resume that avoided exaggeration showed that the other person had something she didn't have - outstanding talent.
"Du Jue, you have a high level of awareness. Keep up the hard work!"
Although she encouraged him like this, Ilia couldn't help but doubt herself. If both parties worked hard, would the ordinary talents that she was anxiously hiding be exposed to others?
After all, Song Ya was not following her orders just now, but was stopping her, which made Ilia unforgettable.
After closing the outer door, Du Jue discovered that there was actually a small compartment in the containment room, perhaps to prevent direct connection between the inside and the outside, so he reached out and opened the inner door.
A huge skull wearing a crown of thorns was connected to the cross, floating quietly two meters above the ground. The empty eye sockets staring at him suddenly made Du Jue's heart sink, as if all the past had weight and turned into substance pressing on his body.
Even if it didn't say a word, Du Jue couldn't help but feel the desire to talk.
184
Chapter 184 Sin.
"Angela, I want to listen to Du Jue's work audio. This is to help him integrate into the control department faster!"
"It seems the Director of Control has forgotten the procedures. All video and audio materials from the containment unit must be blurred, and the original samples must be archived and kept confidential."
Elia didn't give up, but instead insisted: "Of course I know, but you recommended this employee! I must find out his problem, uh, I mean, provide him with effective guidance!"
"For safety reasons, even the Minister cannot observe the Abnormality without protection. I can only provide you with the recording I edited."
Containment unit.
Du Jue stood vigilantly outside the black and red cordon, looking at the huge white skull, recalling the information about the abnormality that Angela had just provided.
Based on the content of the experiment, the researchers divided human sins into three levels: the first level is small lies or minor mistakes in social situations; the second level is serious mistakes shared only with close friends; and the third level is serious crimes that must be kept secret forever.
Employees only need to confess the first two levels, because the third level of sin will cause the abnormality to clear all memories related to the confessor's sins.
Du Jue couldn't grasp the ambiguous level of sin, because the things he had experienced were too crazy, and he really didn't dare to speak casually, so he spoke tentatively: "Actually, I cheated on my wife and found a lover."
The inhuman object in the containment chamber showed no reaction.
Du Jue was not aware of any external accusations or inner relief.
Compared to living things, Abnormalities seem like sculptures in an empty square. Apart from their existence, they will never make any unexpected movements, bringing endless peace of mind and comfort to people.
"Ahem, actually, I killed someone before I came to Lobotomy Corporation."
Du Jue didn't know how to repent. This was the first time for him.
It's not that I have a clear conscience about eliminating all my evil deeds, it's just that I'm simply too busy at work to think about these things.
The skull pierced by the huge cross gradually emitted a soft white light. The silence in the containment room seemed to be urging Du Jue to remember things clearly and vividly.
Du Jue couldn't help but describe the tide of memories that quietly came to him, and his senses seemed to be as if he was in that battle again.
In a deserted town, next to the delicatessen.
"Why!"
Holding the barbed pistol, Ju Yu rushed forward angrily, "You could have let everyone go, why did you have to kill me?"
"You're not special at all. You're no different from those perverted cannibal chefs in the city!"
Du Jue, who had stepped into the memory of sin, felt that the other party's words and actions seemed to have real power, but he just stood there with a frown, carefully observing Ju Yu's face.
Du Jue's tense nerves made him breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there was no half-body descending. What was in front of him were just some imaginary questions, and he didn't care at all.
"Lead-gray music! Except me! Have you forgotten everyone else?"
Du Jue calmly accepted Ju Yu's sudden attack and immediately recalled the night when the death energy lost control. He blurted out affirmative words: "Of course I haven't forgotten."
However, Du Jue immediately came to his senses and realized what he had said. He took a step back in horror and even reflexively grabbed the spiral gun from his dimensional leather gloves, trying hard to see the cross skull in front of him clearly.
The cross skull was faintly visible behind the tide of memories, but was completely obscured by the soft white light it emitted.
The dazzling lights of the Golden Auction were extremely dazzling. In stark contrast, the ground outside was littered with corpses, dark red blood scabs covered the manhole covers, and the wailing that filled the sky made the terrified Du Jue deaf.
"Wait, that's not it! That's not what I'm talking about!"
"Stop it!"
The siege of piled-up corpses made Du Jue feel at a loss, but he was too embarrassed to mention this matter, and he didn't want to mention it at all.
The various corpses in various clothes did not rush forward angrily, but simply overlapped and stared at Du Jue. Their eyes swayed like a swarm of fireflies gathered in the wilderness, but they conveyed a darkness deeper than the stars in the sky.
Du Jue suddenly lowered his head, a rare feeling of boundless fear emerging. He didn't even dare to look at the details of the corpse. He quickly comforted him directly: "Don't worry, don't worry! This is just a memory, it will be fine soon!"
However, Du Jue, who had just come to his senses, immediately found that the woman with a single ponytail at his feet was staring straight at him. The hand with the triple ring pinched the face of the dead lady next to him and said jokingly: "Are you really okay?"
"They're just coming from the nest to participate in the ring auction. The external support personnel are just doing the job for the money. Not to mention the residents of the back alleys who are mixed in. There must be an innocent person among them, no matter what, there must be at least one, right?"
"Shut up!"
Du Jue, whose heart was suffocatingly burdened by the sins of the past, suddenly remembered the information he had just read. Once he confessed a third-level sin, this abnormal entity would eat it together with the related memories. There was no doubt that this night of wild noise was a third-level sin for him!
There are too many memories related to the Wailing Incident, and I'm afraid I will lose most of them from then until now.
More importantly, the Death Tattoo was given by Kaji. Could he have forgotten even that? This was something that could not be reversed by turning back time!
No matter how heavy and painful the past is, even if it is all caused by his own sins, it will never hinder him from moving forward in the slightest!
"Does this prevent you from really deceiving yourself with a clear conscience?"
Bang!
Du Jue stomped on the head of the idiot with a kick, and anxiously walked past the countless corpses staring at him, broke into the only lit auction hall here, and stared at the only gorgeous chandelier above with wide eyes.
As expected, he saw the outline of a cross skull in the soft white light. Countless corpses turned from real to virtual and turned into shadows and were sucked into it. Perhaps this was the so-called eating sin described in the abnormality intelligence.
Even though he was caught in a strange memory replay and his sense of time and space was confused, his high resistance to cognitive distortion still allowed Du Jue to detect the traces of the abnormality.
The anger at being plundered overwhelmed his remorse and fear. Du Jue gritted his teeth and raised the spiral gun. Veins bulged on his forehead with rage, and the brand of dragon scales involuntarily appeared all over his body.
Red dragon scales, self-expression!
Dangdang Dangdang!
The golden coins that belonged only to the evil dragon instantly drowned the blood-stained corpse. Each gold coin was engraved with the prototype of the evil dragon from different stories and legends.
The evil dragon's unique greed for possession did not allow any plundering. The golden chains it transformed into immediately wrapped around the white chandelier and violently pulled out countless corpses.
"These are all mine!"
"Get out of here! Leave all my sins and memories behind!"
Boom! ! !
The massive and heavy workshop, carrying a blazing fire, struck the chandelier directly. The terrifying force instantly caused it to vibrate violently, and the orange-red flames suddenly rose high, submerging everything within the visual range.
The tide of memory was completely evaporated in an instant.
The five senses also quickly returned to normal.
"Hoohoo!"
Du Jue was gasping for breath as he tightly gripped the spiral gun. His rapid breathing even made him feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen. He felt exhausted at the moment, but he forced himself to cheer up and looked around.
The originally tidy containment room was burned to a charred black, with ashes all over the floor, leaving no trace of its original state.
"Hey, Du Jue, can you hear me? Get behind the cordon immediately!"
Ilia's anxious voice came from the headset, which made Du Jue realize that he had escaped from danger and the scales on his body had actually retreated on their own.
"Of course, Minister. Don't respond weakly and then try to stay awake and retreat."
Du Jue looked up with lingering fear, and was shocked to find that his spiral gun had stabbed into the eye socket of the skull, and the originally white and smooth bones were cracked.
Du Jue quickly pulled out the spiral gun and retreated to the door, watching quietly as the dark red crown of thorns slowly tightened, re-fixing the cross and bones, and the cracks closed one by one.
If it weren't for the surrounding environment, it would even feel like nothing had happened.
"Stop! Is that your weapon? The files say it's the Colossus Workshop's spiral gun, but EGO production has been detected here. Please evacuate the containment room immediately and report to Control!"
Hearing Ilia's urging, Du Jue finally realized that there was something wrong with the spiral gun.
185
Chapter 185 EGO.
"Guns and blades can't harm Abnormalities, so we try to use the cores extracted from Abnormalities to shape them into weapons and armor, collectively known as EGOs."
Ilia's expression became unusually serious.
Illya didn't even bother to write down Du Jue's response in her memo. The new employee's actions were truly shocking. "That gun isn't in the company's EGO R&D database. Even the branch's EGO should have a record of it!"
Du Jue looked at the spiral gun on the desk with some surprise. At this moment, three long cracks appeared on the gun tip, but the thorns exactly the same as those on the skull were coiled up along the spiral lines, binding it tightly.
The feeling of expressing himself in the containment room before was very strange. Although the use of skills in the past only required a thought, it still required active triggering, but this power seemed to be actively using him.
At this moment, Du Jue could only vaguely remember the prototypes of the countless evil dragons that flew out of the distant sea. Perhaps he would have to be on guard against this in the future. After all, the prototype brought not only power but also extremely strong emotions.
However, it was more important to deal with his immediate superior right now. Du Jue immediately gathered his emotions and said, "No, this is my weapon. I don't know the details. After all, I'm just a newcomer to Lobotomy."
Illya's countless doubts retreated in the face of these words. Looking at Du Jue's calm face, she remembered that this guy was really a newcomer. She put on a lively smile again and said, "Of course! As the director, I will guide you well!"
"I've registered this weapon. You can put it away now. But do you know how long you've been in the containment chamber?"
How long can this last?
To be honest, Du Jue only felt that it had been about ten minutes at most. The anger that had just subsided was rising again. This anomaly called One Sin and a Hundred Virtues was really rude!
He'd already killed so many people, and if he just forgot about it, wouldn't he be as stupid as Ring Finger?!
Ilia picked up the memo with a headache and said, "Four hours, thirty-seven minutes, and eight seconds. The supervisor said today's energy production target has been exceeded. Headquarters implements a results-based work system, so we're off duty."
Hearing this, Du Jue quickly stated, "Minister, even after get off work, I still want to learn from you. For me, time is divided into work and preparation."
"Well, Abnormalities are hard to understand, and I can't answer your questions right away."
Ilia seemed very happy about Du Jue's words, "But I can help you integrate into this place quickly."
Ilia took Du Jue away from the control department, where only a few people were still working overtime.
