Lister turned his head and looked at me expressionlessly: "You are wrong, Chief, I have always been alone."
That gloomy and murderous expression made me feel scared just by looking at him, but I still had to hold on and not lose to him in momentum.
"Huh? But I did see two people."
Lister raised his left hand and placed it on Schmidt's shoulder: "No, Schmidt is just a split part of my power."
After saying that, he sucked Schmidt directly into his body as if he was sucking in a puddle of mud. This curious look even made me feel a little nauseous.
When I saw everything in front of me, a special thought came to my mind. This guy could actually do such a thing, so could it be that he is fake?
Then I asked tentatively, "You're probably not the Chief Steward Lister, are you? We haven't found any information that shows Lister has the opportunity to become an Ascender."
Me: "Unless you were already an ascended being from birth, but when you were born, Pamish hadn't even appeared yet, and your life was going smoothly. The only puzzling thing is that after you were promoted to the chief steward, there was a nearly week-long gap in your records, so I can guess."
"You became an ascender within this week, or Lister originally had a deal with you. But Lister might have specifically proposed some of your proposals, and then you killed him and replaced him. Someone else is now controlling this body."
Lister became interested as he listened to what I said: "Hahaha! Your reasoning is correct, Chief. Indeed, Lister himself is now dead. He has indeed known us for a long time and has been doing business with us, but it's too troublesome. It's better for me to do it myself, so I killed him."
"What deal?"
Lister smiled faintly: "The location of Atlantis."
When I heard this name, I trembled inside. Greens' experiment has always been to develop an Ω weapon that can eliminate the Pamish virus, but the complete data has always been in the disappeared underwater city of Atlantis, so it has never been successful.
So, it means that Lister also wanted to find Atlantis when he was alive, so as to cooperate with the Ascenders. His ultimate goal was probably to obtain the data of the Zero Point Reactor or the Omega weapon.
[But in reality, neither the Ascended nor Lister in front of him knew the location of Atlantis. Only Lamia knew, and Lamia deliberately hid Atlantis.]
"But you monsters can't possibly tell us these things, right?"
"Haha! Of course, this world's civilization must evolve. You, the people who defy God's punishment, must be eliminated immediately. This is God's will."
Lister took off his coat and spoke to me in a calm tone, but a powerful person's tone and attitude when facing dangerous situations can prove the horror of his power, and the person in front of me is such a person.
Lister threw his coat into the air, and suddenly a cloud of black smoke emerged from under his feet, surrounding his entire body. After a while, another strange man walked out of the black smoke.
The man in front of him was wearing a golden mask covering his mouth, his glasses were gone, his clothes had been changed into a gray-black coat and a black shirt, and his skin had turned darker from its original white skin, he had completely changed into a different person.
Lucia and I stood guard as we watched the scene unfold.
"Vonnegut the Agent!"
When I heard this name, I didn't feel that panicked. Instead, the title of agent made me nervous, which meant that the chances of winning would be infinitely low.
