Chapter 115 On Crime and Punishment
"Sonia, He's gone over to you!" the brown-haired girl holding a rapier called out to her partner.
The white-haired man opposite them had already gotten into position, waiting for that hand chop to create an opportunity for his colleagues to deal damage.
The "CENSORED" attached to his arm also launched a special attack at the opportune moment, weakening the health of the big dog that the supervisor had mentioned, even as his colleagues stepped back slightly.
If nothing unexpected happens, the manager from Lobotomy Corporation will promptly follow up this chop with a healing bullet.
After all, even if he was wearing a mimicry suit with extremely high physical resistance, taking such a hit would have taken half his life.
Sure enough, after the sound of something cutting through the air, came the supervisor's bullet, but he was still alive.
Soon, the scarlet humanoid dog was beaten back into the containment unit, giving Sonia a chance to contemplate life.
How did things turn out this way?
He had only come to this country with Luo Jia and Sinclair, but who could tell him that Luo Jia's boss had suddenly become the head of the broken L Company—Lobotomy Corporation?
Not to mention, everything here seems to be running smoothly, and the wing is functioning normally.
He originally intended to resign, wanting to travel extensively in this world completely different from the city after leaving Dostoevsky.
Not to mention that this was a completely different country from Russia, where he had previously lived.
Luo Jia naturally wouldn't accompany him; the girl had already seamlessly blended into her colleagues' group without any barriers.
But unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.
A young man who had transformed from an executive manager at a small, shaky company into a manager at Wings offered him a temporary job.
The reason given was a shortage of manpower. He looked into those golden eyes that revealed no particular thoughts, then glanced at Luo Jia beside him, and finally saw a trace of sincerity in those eyes before agreeing to help temporarily.
Then he fell for the trick of the seemingly sincere Golden Eyes.
He's so stupid, really. He only knew that Lobotomy Corporation obtains energy by managing aliens, and he knew that the work here was difficult, but he didn't know that TT2 was here!
For large corporations that have no shortage of time or money to purchase from Company T, a day is entirely up to them.
This might be his second day at work, but his body tells him, no, this isn't the second day, this is the second year.
The supervisor's instructions came through the headset, clearly indicating that work had begun again.
Unbeknownst to Sonia, who was exhausted from work, he was temporarily replaced because Dostoevsky's ability "Crime and Punishment" had unique characteristics that set it apart from other abilities.
The founder of Shengyu, who not only goes to work but also gets beaten up, suddenly went offline without any preparation.
The Siberian hamster with the same eye color as him logged on and subconsciously looked around at its surroundings.
Fyodor's first choice was actually Luo Jia, but he failed. It was as if she had a firewall around her, which prevented him from accessing her.
He had no choice but to settle for second best and boarded Sonia's ship.
The instructions in the headset continued, and because Sonia was dressed in mimicry, he was like a brick, moving wherever a physically damaging alien escaped.
Fyodor couldn't fully understand what was being said in the earpiece, such as which corridor in the training department it was, but fortunately, the employees had a portable device.
It will thoughtfully highlight the location indicated by the supervisor, so as long as you follow its guidance, you won't go wrong.
X had no idea he'd been tricked into joining; his temporary employee had been replaced by an oddball who had nothing.
He's busy trying to find the old man to atone for his sins.
The bell rang in the night. The old man was in a bad mood and dissatisfied with the nanny's companionship service, so he brought out his eleven apostles.
He also took away his nanny, that poor girl, who chatted with him every day, but Bai Ye would get angry at the slightest disagreement.
Unfortunately, Fyodor passed by the main lounge where White Night was.
To make matters worse, the supervisor plans to reopen the business after the traitor has atoneed for his sins, and now he completely disregards the lives of the other employees, since he's going to "start the day anew" anyway.
The loss of twelve employees is a terrible price to pay.
As soon as Fyodor entered the main lounge following the "navigation," he was met with the scythes wielded by the guardian apostles.
Two hundred soul damage instantly carried away the unsuspecting demon. "Sin and Punishment" was activated immediately, and Bai Ye, who was suspended in mid-air, noticed something was wrong.
X also noticed something was wrong. The surveillance screen clearly recorded Sonia killing the guardian apostle and also showed the subsequent changes after she swung the scythe in high definition.
The apostle, who was originally at least half a head taller than the employees, bent down and turned into an unfamiliar chibi-style figure.
The little man has short, black hair that reaches his shoulders, and purple eyes. He wears white and red bone armor, which is Paradise Lost.
But the problem is, both sets of Paradise Lost have their owners: one is on Kingsley of the Records Department, and the other is on the nanny who was carried away. So where did this set come from?
The supervisor glanced at Sonia lying on the ground, then at this wild, lost paradise that another apostle had tacitly accepted as one of his own.
The conclusion is that... the guardian apostles of the White Night have become sentient, and have even cultivated into human form.
Before he could observe any results, the traitor finally arrived at the containment room for one sin and a hundred virtues, and with his prayers, the punishment from the old bones descended from the sky.
White Night Gaba died instantly, and with the departure of their Lord, the apostles committed suicide one after another.
Fyodor, who was gazing deeply into Bai Ye's ruby-like eyes, also felt his body acting out of control.
This is truly unexpected.
Feeling excruciating pain in his abdomen, Fyodor lost consciousness; this time, his powers were not triggered.
Time begins to reverse at Lobotomy Corporation headquarters; today's work starts from scratch.
Fyodor opened his eyes too. He was trapped inside Sonia's body. His logout key had been taken away by an unknown person.
The demon touched his undamaged abdomen, where he could still feel lingering pain.
Seeing that Luo Jia seemed completely unaware of what had just happened, Fyodor disguised his supernatural abilities while observing everything around him.
Inside the monitoring room, X was genuinely curious about the strange phenomenon that had just occurred on the Guardian Apostle.
He wished he could rush into the White Night's containment chamber and ask Him if He knew that His apostle had taken human form.
The supervisor made a probing decision: he planned to release Bai Ye again to see if the guardian apostle would turn into that little black-haired man this time.
Today's work has begun. As Baiye's most loyal nanny, Adele keeps checking the time, waiting for her supervisor's orders.
Time passed second by second, and not only her, but also her colleagues did not receive any orders. Everyone stayed in place as if nothing had happened, and no one went to work on the anomaly.
But she's different. If no one keeps Bai Ye company, He will take all twelve of his colleagues with him when He comes out!
Is the supervisor asleep?
Adele's thoughts drifted further and further away; she even began to suspect that her supervisor had been kidnapped. But what was bound to happen would happen eventually.
As the bells rang, Adele's heart sank completely; it was all over.
Apart from the two guardian apostles, the nine master and apprentices roamed the entire facility, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the employees.
X's gaze remained fixed on the surveillance area where Bai Ye was, but nothing changed. After the Guardian Apostle killed the employee, he was still that tall monster, showing no signs of turning into a human.
Is it because the conditions aren't right? What's different from last time?
X stared at the monitor screen, lost in thought. After a long while, he finally gave his first order of the day: to send Sonia to the lounge where White Night was.
It seems that the last time the apostles were transformed was after Sonia's death. Is this a necessary condition?
Upon receiving the order, Fyodor did not hesitate and headed back down the road.
He was also very curious about this strange base-like place and what exactly that religiously themed monster was.
"Crime and Punishment" was activated again, and the "person" who killed him became Dostoevsky once more. But this time, the ray of light that descended from the sky did not appear.
Instead, it was the unidentified creature, suspended high in the air and resembling an angel from the Old Testament, that spoke.
"I have not baptized you, you are not my disciple."
The white creature, resembling a magatama, spoke; it had no mouth, yet its voice echoed throughout the rather large main lounge.
Even X, who was watching the monitor screen, saw the large subtitle representing Bai Ye's words.
What does this mean?
The Guardian Apostles of the White Night have been infiltrated by imposters?!
Bright red text appeared on the screen, almost completely obscuring X's field of vision.
"He is not my disciple!!"
This counterfeit apostle seemed to displease Bai Ye, who even added two exclamation marks.
The supervisor decided to act quickly, and after the traitor had atoneed, to "start the day afresh."
The broadcast came on:
"Sonia, please report to the minister's office immediately."
At this moment, Fyodor was contemplating his second goal, his uncontrollable self-harm, and his connection with the white creature.
Then I heard this announcement that named names, and it seems that the person in charge here has noticed something.
However, the minister's office was not within the navigation range of the employee's personal device, and without Sonia's memory, he had no idea where the minister's office was.
Fortunately, he didn't need to actively seek it out; the owner of the minister's office, the Minister of Welfare Chesed, came to him on his own initiative.
The blue-haired young man, who seemed to appear out of nowhere and still smelled of coffee, smiled at his employee who had undergone a personality change.
"Come with me, the supervisor wants to see you."
In the supervisor's office, X took out the variables and began assigning tasks until Daniel brought in "Sonia," at which point the person in charge was replaced.
Adam, still wearing the "X" shell, was forced to stand in front of the monitor and take over X's work assignments.
X looked at the white-haired youth who had been brought in. He seemed no different from before, except that the change occurred after the apostle killed him.
After considering a certain specialty of this world, and the fact that he and Luo Jia both belonged to the same superpowered individual, X decided to call for reinforcements.
If he remembered correctly, today was the weekend, and Dazai-kun, who had regained his freedom, didn't have to go to school.

Author's Note: Bai Ye: I'm going to cause trouble! I'm really going to cause trouble! This isn't my apostle! Something evil has infiltrated!!
The kind-hearted Russian said: "It has possessed the body, but not completely. There is a higher-level being, which has caused the body to be out of control."
X: It's appeared! It's a wild Paradise Lost!
