Chapter 586: This Isn't Something a Normal Creature Could Do
Inside Lynn's body, Zuo Zuo and Meow Meow were completely dumbfounded. Even after Lynn's rapid series of attacks and his quick promotion from squad leader to executive officer, they still hadn't fully processed what had happened.
Because it was just too insane.
It felt so ridiculous that it seemed like he was cheating.
After all, it hadn't even been half an hour since he officially took control of Losh's body!
Finally, Zuo Zuo asked blankly, "Stupid Brain, so you're telling me you're now a high-ranking executive officer of the Leviathan?"
Lynn examined the authority chip that had been transmitted to him and replied in his mind, "Weren't you watching the whole time?"
Zuo Zuo (꒪Д꒪) said, "But... but isn't this a bit too insane?! Didn't they have even the slightest suspicion of you?! They just let you, of all people, waltz right in that easily?!"
Lynn glanced at her, tapped his temple, and said with a faint smile:
"Easy? Zuo Zuo, it seems that even after following your master for so long, you still haven't learned anything. Out here, it's not all about fighting and killing—it's about social dynamics. And opportunities don't come from waiting; you have to create them yourself."
"Where are we? We're in the Leviathan, one of the Plague Doctors' main bases. What's their biggest crisis right now? Of course, it's those two bastards who infiltrated the Leviathan to assassinate their leader. So let me ask you—as the leader, Doctor 315 has to control the Leviathan and fight Brother Aiwen while also dealing with those two bastards. Would he be anxious? Would he think he has everything under control?"Zuo Zuo swallowed hard and said, "He... he probably would, right? After all, creatures have their limits. Trying to fight a Root-level battle while also managing the internal situation in the Leviathan would definitely be very difficult..."
Lynn blew lightly on the chip in his hand with a faint smile, then pulled open a slit on his temple and slammed the chip in with a crack. "Exactly."
"Once you understand that, it's easy to grasp. He can't handle everything himself, so he needs his subordinates to help him deal with these matters. But creatures of the Chaotic Alignment are all incredibly selfish. Unless under strong authority, getting them to take on a mission like dealing with those two invaders is a pipe dream."
"Think about it—one is the Supreme Unit of the Mechanical Cult, and the other is a hardcore badass who just went toe-to-toe with the God of All Machines. Only an idiot would volunteer for this kind of mission!"
Zuo Zuo's eyes went wide.
Lynn tapped his temple again and smiled. "But for the leader, what he's lacking right now is exactly this kind of idiot who's willing to share his burden!"
Zuo Zuo was baffled. "So..."
Lynn stood up from his chair with a smile, walked over to the screen, and said, "So I shaped myself into a fearless hawk—unaware of the consequences, unafraid of offending people, not knowing how to protect myself, but seemingly capable. When no one else was willing to take on this mission, I stepped up. So who else could it be but me?"
Zuo Zuo felt like her mind was a mush. "But that's still the same problem, Stupid Brain—aren't you afraid they'll suspect you? You're sticking out like a sore thumb!"
Lynn smiled faintly. "Of course, they'll suspect me. Giving me this position is also a form of indirect testing. But risk and opportunity go hand in hand. As the saying goes, if they're extreme, you have to be even more extreme. Just watch—they'll monitor my work closely next. If I show even the slightest anomaly, I won't be able to keep this position I just got."
Zuo Zuo (꒪Д꒪).
Even though she didn't understand a single word.
It still sounded super impressive.
Sure enough.
Even though Brain was a scumbag, when he got serious, he was still a scheming, handsome bastard!
"So, what do we do now? Brain, you're not really going to carry out that twisted plan of yours, are you? That was just something you made up on the spot to earn their trust, right? I mean, 'taking out' the Mechanical Miss or whatever is way too crazy! ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ Haha~"
"Crazy?"
"..."
"You... you're not serious, are you?"
"Of course I'm serious. Why else would I bring up that plan? Do I have a death wish? (O_o)?? "
"(ΩДΩ) Huh?!?!"
——
Meanwhile.
First Chamber.
"Doctor, entrusting such a major mission of dealing with those two invaders entirely to an action squad leader—isn't that a bit too rash?"
A high-ranking Plague Doctor, wiping the sweat from the back of his neck, cautiously voiced his dissent to Doctor 315 on the throne.
Leaving aside whether that plan was too perverted.
Just considering identity alone—
For a squad leader who had been virtually unknown within their Leviathan, to suddenly become so proactive during this critical period was enough to raise suspicion.
Because even if he was gold buried in a cesspool.
Why didn't he shine earlier or later, but precisely at this moment?
There were just too many reasons to be suspicious.
Doctor 315 sat on the throne and said calmly, "That depends on his performance. If he can truly complete this mission outstandingly, I certainly don't mind granting him status and power commensurate with his ability."
The high-ranking Plague Doctor hesitated and said, "But Doctor, I still have serious doubts about this Losh. I feel like there's something off about him. If he really has both ability and guts, why didn't he show it before, and instead jumped out at this specific time? I can't help but feel there's something fishy."
Doctor 315 said hoarsely, "Are you suggesting he might be that Night Doctor in disguise?"
The high-ranking Plague Doctor thought for a moment, then said, "I wouldn't dare jump to that conclusion lightly..."
Doctor 315 said hoarsely, "I had some suspicions at first too, but after thinking about it, it seems impossible. You have to understand—those two invaders have only been here for less than half an hour. In such a short time, to quickly evade our surveillance, dodge our pursuit, silently take control of one of our members, then calmly video conference with us as if nothing happened, and present us with a feasible plan..."
"Do you think any of you could accomplish such a series of tasks in that short amount of time?"
The surrounding Plague Doctors all furrowed their brows, thought it over, and then shook their heads.
Impossible.
The timing was too tight!
Completing so many operations in under half an hour was already incredibly difficult, let alone seamlessly video-calling them, speaking fluently and aggressively throughout, without any signs of hesitation. This simply couldn't be done on a whim.
Not to mention—
The supply list he drafted was perfectly coordinated with the plan he later proposed, showing clear forethought and careful consideration.
And that plan was definitely not something that could be cooked up in a heat-of-the-moment impulse.
More importantly, if he really were an imposter, wouldn't he have some psychological pressure? Would he be so audacious as to immediately video-call them, ask for this and that, and deliver such a passionate, thought-provoking speech right in front of them, the moment after he infiltrated?
Everyone shook their heads.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Just thinking about it was too absurd!
This couldn't be something a normal creature could do!
