Chapter 59: On the Innocent, Twisted, and Unjustly Framed
Along with the sound of the bells, the wooden floorboards also shook.
Along with the accompanying sonic music, there is also the crisp sound of an eggshell or some other material cracking.
Anyone seeing this scene would think that something extraordinary has entered!
The manager, who knew all too well what would happen with that bell ringing, which sent a chill down his spine even more than "I love you," suddenly lost all expression.
The black-haired youth appeared completely confident of victory, but those who knew him well would see that he had actually given up thinking.
X really had to give up thinking. What was going on? Had Bai Ye and the penniless, pitiful old manager secretly come here for a team-building activity?
Should he go back to the company and invite Bai Gan Band and Melting Love along? It's unfair to the other A-level members if only the two of you go out to play.
No matter how much you don't want to face it, what's coming will still come.
There's no main lounge for White Night to float in here, but if there aren't any conditions, White Night will create them.
Whether it was in the sky or underground, a crack tore the entire mansion apart from top to bottom.
Above the expressionless youth, a being exuding holiness slowly appeared, its five pairs of snow-white wings resembling those of an angel from the Bible.
Until, the angel unfolded the wings that had been covering it, revealing its true form.
It was a creature resembling an undeveloped human embryo, with ruby-like eyes on either side, looking down at the young man below.
He did not make a sound.
But they all heard the sound, which echoed throughout the room.
I heard your voice, I have answered your call and come to your side.
X looked up at this father figure who was completely different from a level six employee.
Thinking to myself, no one is calling you, thank you.
X did not voice his true feelings, but the floating jade spirit seemed to have heard him and responded:
Your voice called to me.
Although the supervisor didn't know why he had suddenly started chatting with Bai Ye, there was one thing he was very clear about.
Let's chat instead. Let's stall for time before this giant moth summons the apostle.
But there's more than just one A-level anomaly here; the sinners over there are still struggling to defeat a level 6 employee. Now they can only rely on themselves.
The supervisor was busy dealing with, or rather, fooling around with, Bai Ye. If the supervisor himself did a poor job, they, who were already on the verge of collapse, might be wiped out on the spot.
It's like having a clerk and two outsiders around the supervisor.
They were thrown into panic upon facing the white night and were now running around in all directions.
However, they had no time to deal with the panicked people running around. With no means of recovery, death was inevitable.
Until—the supervisor who inexplicably replaced an employee to "communicate" with Bai Ye received an "excellent" rating.
Although there was no visible green smiley face, the giant moth generously restored their health and sanity, and then Honglu, who had just been healed, was taken down by Yiwushi with a single slash.
Even the three panicked people who were running around were restored to full mental strength by the gifts spread throughout the building, and they stood in some unknown corner, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Edogawa Ranpo had never experienced such a high level of physical activity in his life. As soon as his mental energy recovered, he collapsed to the ground, feeling as if his lungs were about to explode.
Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at his child on the ground, who was panting heavily and almost passed out, and then turned his gaze to the only person in the know.
"Dr. Mori, what's going on?"
Mori Ōgai wasn't as tired because of EGO, and he thought about his casual conversation with his colleagues earlier.
There are two terrifying guys in the company. In a company that uses ranks to distinguish employees, employees below level five will panic on the spot just by seeing them, which will then cause a commotion.
One of them was the "angel" they had just seen.
"Lord Silver Wolf, this involves our company..."
"That... monster will wipe out our... sanity."
Before Mori Ōgai could even offer an excuse to Fukuzawa Yukichi, Edogawa Ranpo haltingly shared his conclusions based on his long-term observations.
“To be precise, it’s the rationality of us people.” The green-eyed boy noticed Mori Ougai’s expression and added, “Judging from his appearance, there are many people in his company who still maintain their rationality when facing that… monster.”
Describing Byakuya as a monster is obviously inappropriate, but Edogawa Ranpo couldn't think of a precise word for the time being. Could he really use something like an angel?
Seeing that his lines had all been spoken by the child sprawled on the ground, Mori Ougai could only shrug and offer his suggestion:
“Lord Silver Wolf, let’s move a little further to the edge. If I remember correctly, this one,” he pointed to the sky, since they had only exchanged a glance before losing consciousness, “will have an area-of-effect attack. Only the very edge will be unaffected.”
Seeing the silver-haired swordsman carry the boy on his back, he was still looking in the direction they had come from.
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time they've dealt with something like this."
Even so, Mori Ougai wasn't entirely sure, since there was no TT2 here. But he knew that the most important thing right now was not to cause any trouble.
X was unaware that there was a dedicated employee surnamed Sen in the distance who did his best to avoid causing him any trouble. All he knew was that a Level 6 employee was going to have a one-on-one duel with Bai Ye!
Even though Bai Ye kept healing off the field, the attack power of the one with nothing was still too high, and Bai Ye seemed to have finally gotten tired of X's distraction.
He let out a scream, and the last remaining Ryosuke was also carried away by the soul damage from Byakuya.
The tall, scarlet human figure walked step by step toward X and Bai Ye, his right hand's fleshy hammer poised to strike.
X didn't know where his confidence came from, but subconsciously he felt that the alien wouldn't harm him, and that the Level 6 employee was there for Bai Ye.
The manager decided to give up the stage and let the two contestants fight each other, with him acting as the referee. The loser would go back to the company.
This is a perfect opportunity for him to piece together the shattered remains of the sinner.
The golden-eyed youth sat on the floor, while not far away, a level six employee was waving a hand chop into the sky, as if sounding the horn of war.
Eleven apostles appeared out of nowhere in the night sky; there were only eleven, and no traitors turned against the Lord.
Very well, his sinner remains the scraps of flesh on the ground, not the big, thrashing moth that likes to steal other people's employees.
Apart from the two guarding apostles, the remaining apostles scattered and wandered around the dilapidated wooden building that had been destroyed by the Desolate Ones.
The Guardian Apostles, acting as White Night's most loyal support team, fought alongside the Level 6 employees, while White Night floated in the sky, restoring the Apostles' health and inflicting damage on Nothingness.
Soon, the single dog, who had nothing, was crushed by Bai Ye, who came with his own support group. A red, egg-shaped object, half the height of a person, symbolizing his identity, remained quietly in place.
The pressure now falls on X. How can he fight against Bai Ye and his two disciples when he only has six shattered sinners at his disposal?
He wasn't the only one feeling the pressure; there was also a pitiful, twisted man in the heart of the mansion, waiting for an adult to come and find him.
But when the footsteps approached, it wasn't the master he longed for who appeared, but rather...
The imposing figure was projected onto the shoji screen, and it couldn't possibly be that person. His "master" was only imposing in spirit; this was clearly a monster.
The twisted figure, sitting upright in the Japanese-style room, was unaware that it was also a monster in the eyes of ordinary people. The three heads couldn't help but move closer to each other, trying to gain a sense of security for themselves. For some reason, the figure outside the shoji door gave it a great sense of oppression.
Before he could calm down, the figure outside the door moved. The already fragile shoji door was cut in half as easily as a piece of paper. The winged apostle Gao Da was like a messenger from the Lord who had come to guide him.
He unconsciously wanted to get closer to this holy yet evil being, but the next second, he saw his own body...
Ah, it turns out it was my own head flying in the sky.
As expected... does someone as timid and hesitant as me not deserve a new life...?
With a thud, the contorted body, no different from an ordinary person's, collapsed onto the tatami mat, blood spreading out. The apostle didn't even glance at it, simply turning around and continuing to wander, searching for its next target.
I'm not reconciled... He didn't accomplish anything...
The heads that had rolled to the corner of the room suddenly started rolling, one on top of the other, like three ice cream scoops stacked together, slowly rolling back to the body.
The lifeless body, as if sensing the call of the head, moved slowly but firmly, placing the head back on the neck.
However, just like the way they rolled over, this time they were stacked like ice cream cones instead of being side by side before. The believer knew that if there was a next time, he would be separated from his "Lord" forever.
The wandering apostle has gone far away; he will no longer sit idly by and wait for death. This is the Lord's test for him!
The golden-eyed youth in his white coat, now stained with blood, sat relaxed in the pool of blood. It was the blood of criminals, and he hadn't wanted it either.
But as time passed, the Level 6 employees were reborn from the egg, clashed with the White Night, and, along with the Guardian Apostles, sent away his newly resurrected sinners.
Fortunately, Bai Ye doesn't heal himself, so he just needs to wait for the level six employees to wear him down.
Unbeknownst to him, an innocent twisted creature was being chased by an apostle wielding a scythe. The twisted creature was running so fast it could practically fly, and the apostle, despite its best efforts, couldn't catch up and could only watch helplessly as the twisted creature escaped.
Unlike X and his group, who were lost forever, Twisted knew exactly where he was. He was patiently waiting in the meticulously decorated Japanese-style room for the arrival of the "master".
But now, he is surprised to find that so many strange things have appeared in his "home".
There are eleven more monsters like those! A full eleven! Where did they all come from?! This is illegal trespassing!
But what could he do? He was just an ordinary person.
So the three apostles who were wandering outside all spotted this fast-running fellow, and only the apostle of the scepter managed to hit the little mouse with a ranged attack.
Meanwhile, X, who was watching the live electronic cricket fighting, was completely unaware that he was mentally estimating Bai Ye's health and felt that he was about to make it through.
Once the level 6 employee sees Bai Ye off, and then I see off the level 6 employee myself, I can call it a day...
Wait a minute, it seems he came here to resolve the distortion. Where is the distortion?
