Chapter 66 About Roads

The broadcast was limited to the control department. Not only Chuuya Nakahara, but also other employees and clerical staff looked towards the source of the sound when it rang out.

This includes Malkuth, the Minister of Control.

A brown-haired woman in a black suit rushed out of the office to check which "Nakahara Chuuya" the supervisor had mentioned was who.

She was holding a notebook in her hand, filled with her plans for the day; she couldn't let this little incident ruin her entire workday.

The orange-haired boy was surprised to find that as soon as Mr. X finished speaking, everyone in the room focused their attention on him.

If vision had a physical form, he might already be on fire.

The two people who were chatting by the wall walked towards him, and even the three people who were resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes.

The two people who were chatting walked towards the short, suspicious-looking man, who must be the person the supervisor was talking about.

Upon closer inspection, he was even wearing pajamas.

A tall woman with two dark blue braids, wearing a black and white tuxedo, spoke first:

"You are Nakahara Chuuya?"

The orange-haired boy was somewhat wary; the woman, who seemed about to go on stage, was holding a scythe that looked like a musical note.

“I am,” he added, remembering Dazai Osamu’s words before he left, telling him to go back quickly, “I got lost and wandered in by mistake.”

"It's alright, your supervisor has already given you permission to leave. Please come this way."

She was very polite, but Chuuya Nakahara always felt that there was something strange about her that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

As soon as Malkuth appeared at the door of the lounge, he noticed the child who did not belong to one of his employees.

"Minister, let me take him out first. He got lost and wandered in."

The blue-haired female employee spoke to her manager.

However, the minister's ideas differed somewhat from hers.

Malkuth said, "Robam, you stay here. Chris, you go and take him to the supervisor."

Radish? What a strange name.

The female employee, nicknamed "Radish" by the head of the Control Department, is an elite member of the department. Supervisors always start assigning tasks with her, so she can't leave at this crucial time.

The black-haired man whose name was called was the one who had just been chatting with Radish. Hearing that such a good thing had fallen on him, he quickly agreed.

Feeling the sharp glare from Ms. Carrot, Chris didn't react at all; a faint smile even appeared on his pale face.

He led the person he was escorting out of the lounge through the door that separated him from the outside world. The door slowly closed, blocking out the look of radish about to devour him.

Great, off to see the supervisor!

Chuuya looked at Chris. He wasn't very tall and had a face that looked like that of a respectable person. If it weren't for his strange clothes, he would have looked more like an office worker sitting in an office than someone in this strange and unfamiliar place.

And... does the supervisor refer to Mr. X?

The two had walked through countless corners. The orange-haired boy swore that if he were to walk alone this time, he would definitely get lost again. Who would build the passageways exactly the same without any signs?

Finally, Chuuya Nakahara saw Chris slow down, straighten his clothes, and knock on a door.

Angela opened the door, and the supervisor, seeing that the person representing Nakahara Chuuya had been taken away, began the day's work.

The price of bringing Adam back was that the anomaly he had previously touched and then returned to EGO reappeared after Adam joined the company.

As soon as the door was opened, rhythmic music mixed with alarm sounds filled the entire corridor.

If it weren't for the fact that this was still a steel-made passageway rich in technological elements, the orange-haired boy would have thought he had entered an arcade.

“Miss Angela, I have brought the person.”

Chris looked inside and saw the supervisor with the Pain Mask, and another supervisor sitting next to him, talking to him.

What is this feeling of déjà vu?

With a chaotic riot of aberrations and Adam constantly nagging in your ear, all that's missing is for Benjamin and Binah to suppress the core together.

As if hearing X's inner thoughts, the R&D department, located at the bottom of the company, exploded—literally exploded.

Jarion, who went to have tea with Binah, took action.

The classic is back: wandering oddities, roaming tuners, and... chattering Adam.

I'm grateful that Li Xiang spared his life; otherwise, this would have been far more terrifying than the real D49. At least there wouldn't have been so many aberrations by the time it reached the forty-ninth day.

First, the Rabbit Team starts their operation, locking Honglu here before he gets too far.

Binah was taking a wait-and-see approach to the situation caused by the child; she wouldn't participate in the crackdown, so... Roland was the fastest to run away.

Unlike previous broadcasts, this order was given to an individual, after all, Honglu wasn't stupid.

The R&D staff evacuated their respective departments as quickly as possible, and then this chosen warrior seduced a group of genuine leaders.

Wow, so fast!

This speed was completely different from Binah's, leaving him no time to retreat from the elevator. Just as the demon was about to hit him, a long scythe handle suddenly appeared from behind him and flicked him into the elevator.

Almost simultaneously, the alarm for the rabbits, which the supervisor had deployed, went off outside the elevator.

Roland leaned against the elevator door: "Thank you."

Algaria, holding a sickle shaped like a musical note, looked down at Roland, whom he had thrown to the ground, and merely chuckled without saying a word.

Roland felt that he had said everything, that despicable Algaria!

The orange-haired boy watched as Mr. X's actions, seemingly fierce, suddenly became slumped back into his chair in despair, while the little figures on the screen either died or went mad.

“As I expected, you have no control over this situation…” A crisp crunching sound rang out as Adam, who was watching from the sidelines, chewed and said, “…you will eventually follow in my footsteps.”

"Go eat your food."

X decided to start the day afresh before Bai Ye appeared, otherwise everything would be over once that person came out.

Everything on the screen began to rewind, and Adam smiled briefly.

As time rewinds, X looks back at this trouble in every sense of the word and suddenly has a bold idea.

He said, "Then why don't you show us your path?"

The dark-haired youth gave up his spot, pressed Adam down, and took an apple.

Later, he will also eat an apple next to Adam.

Angela sighed as she watched these two unreliable people huddle together, and said to Chuuya Nakahara, who was still a bit confused about the situation:

“I’ll take you to the ground. Your injuries are completely healed. You can choose to wait for your supervisor to finish get off work,” she said, glancing back at the two who had resumed their work. “However, it might take a long time, so I suggest you leave now. Do you need me to find someone to take you home?”

"Thank you, I can go back by myself. Don't I need to say goodbye to Mr. X?"

Upon hearing his own name, X remembered the child who had suffered an undeserved misfortune and hurriedly said:

"That day, the suitcase..."

Before he could finish speaking, the orange-haired boy waved his hand dismissively: "Wasn't the Mr. Li Xiang from that day the same one as before?"

The orange-haired boy nodded firmly, as if recalling something: "Although I don't know if the body is a person, the soul definitely isn't, just like..."

Seeing the white-haired youth giving orders, Chuuya Nakahara continued, "Just like you and that gentleman over there, although you look very similar, you are ultimately not the same person."

"If Mr. Li Xiang, whom I know, wakes up, please tell him for me that he doesn't need to feel guilty; it wasn't his fault."

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Where's Rimbaud? Is he dead?"

"He's still alive, but you don't need to worry about him coming after you again."

Because he had been forcibly recruited into the company, he had to try to make his superpower achieve the effect he wanted. He was currently locked in a room with the Inverse Kabbalah Inhibitor at its highest intensity, and he was just an ordinary person with a weak body.

"Then, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the orange-haired boy left with Angela.

Watching their retreating figures, X suddenly remembered something: was that child wearing pajamas?

Finally, I hastily found a set of clothes that didn't quite fit him; I couldn't let the child come home in his pajamas.

*

The employees suddenly noticed that the supervisor's tone had changed, becoming somewhat...like Bai Ye?

After seeing Angela and Chuuya off, X finally had the chance to observe how Adam was giving orders...

Why do all the chibi characters on the screen have a big "despair" sign on their heads?

"What did you do? No one died."

There wasn't even any alien escape; Honglu was still there having tea with Binah, and everything seemed peaceful.

"Manager! What did you do? Why are the employees all acting like this...?"

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the angry purple-haired youth paused for a moment when he saw X holding an apple and doing nothing, then looked back at where X should have been.

Adam is sitting there now.

"You...me...?"

The poor intelligence chief was speechless for the first time. Should he reprimand his negligent supervisor? But the supervisor was sitting there too…

"Manager! Some employees have reported that you are possessed by an alien entity..."

The door was pushed open again, this time by the head of the Second District of the Central Headquarters. The child had obviously taken longer to come up from the middle level, so he was a little slower than the head of the Intelligence Department.

"Mr. Gabriel, what are you doing here...?"

Enoch also fell silent.

The good news is that the supervisor wasn't possessed by the anomaly; the bad news is that the supervisor has been replaced.

Just then, the tuner, who had inexplicably become a recurring NPC, once again blasted up the research and development department, this time appearing even more furious.

He realized with absolute certainty that he had been fooled!

“Adam said, ‘I will walk in his ways,’” X took a bite of his apple. “So I intend to let him walk in my ways first.”

Even though Adam had observed the work process many times and was very familiar with it, no amount of theoretical knowledge could replace practice.

Sure enough, not long after.

"Thump—!"

The bells of the White Night rang, and the twelve employees became apostles.

The tuner's locks kept triggering the melting of the anomaly containment chamber.

Yin and Yang move in opposite directions.

The train to the underworld hurtles wildly.

X watched everything unfold, took a bite of his apple, and chewed, "As I predicted, you will eventually follow in my footsteps."
