Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 441: Chapter 232: Divinity Born of Sin

Farrell’s body jolted violently when he heard Raymond’s final self-introduction, and his face suddenly changed.

Thinking of the recent serial murders targeting Hymn Company, his voice trembled slightly, despite his usual confidence bordering on arrogance.

”Raymond, this joke isn’t funny.”

Raymond looked at Farrell with a half-smile, ”Smart Manager Farrell, you should know I am not joking.”

This answer shattered Farrell’s defenses.

He could accept being outmaneuvered by other managers and could accept falling on the way upward, but he couldn’t accept dying at the hands of an inexplicable assassin.

”Raymond, are you crazy? Why target Hymn Company instead of working as Moritz’s assistant?”

Raymond moved a chair and placed it opposite Farrell, then sat down, speaking calmly;

”Because I’m a resident of Sid Town, is that reason enough?”

Upon hearing Raymond’s answer, Farrell didn’t resign himself; instead, he became agitated.

”The Sid Town incident wasn’t orchestrated by us managers, nor was it originally Hymn Company. Even for revenge, why target Hymn Company?”

These words instantly caught Raymond’s attention. He suddenly stood up from the chair and stepped in front of Farrell, grabbing his collar.

”Then who was it?”

Farrell’s face turned slightly red from being squeezed, he said:

”I happened to hear about this matter; back then, Schultz spent a significant amount of money on the military to promote high-energy weapons. After understanding Hymn Company’s situation, it was the military and the investigation bureau that devised the plan to release Disqualified Monsters.”

”Back then, the director of the investigation bureau was none other than Mo Ke, now a Level Nine partner at Hymn Company.”

Raymond squinted, releasing his grip on Farrell’s neck.

”Answer a few questions for me, based on your answers, I’ll decide whether or not to kill you.”

Farrell seized on it like a lifeline and said, ”You can ask, I’ll answer what I know.”

Raymond did not speak first, but looked at Wu Chang True Self, beside him.

The questions gradually advanced from both, with Raymond’s query representing everything reaching a final point.

Wu Chang looked at Farrell, asking a question that had been troubling him.

”What conspiracy is Hymn Company planning?”

Farrell responded with a bewildered look: ”Can you be more specific? I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.”

Wu Chang: ”I’ll give you a hint, 32.”

Upon hearing Wu Chang mention the number, Farrell could no longer play dumb, his expression became stiff.

He didn’t expect Raymond and the others to be so informed about Hymn Company’s internal affairs; knowing this number required being among the top of the Level Seven supervisors.

No wonder Raymond’s assassinations of Hymn Company executives were always successful; Raymond must have had a high-positioned insider within Hymn Company.

The idiots in the HR department, how did they conduct background checks during recruitment?

Ignoring the curses toward HR, Farrell faced the impatient Wu Chang and Raymond and could only brace himself and say:

”Regarding the matter you want to know, I don’t know much. I only know that countdown is related to a plan named ’Praise Poem.’ But the specifics of Praise Poem are only clear to Level Nine partners and tycoons like Moritz.”

He looked at Raymond and said, ”If you want to know the specific content of ’Praise Poem,’ rather than kidnap me, you should kidnap Moritz.”

Raymond looked at Wu Chang, nodded, and said, ”He’s telling the truth.”

Raymond’s ability, besides being able to hypnotize targets, lets him discern the truth from the target’s status, more accurate than a lie detector.

However, the effectiveness of lie detection depends on his hypnosis ability affecting the target. For targets like Wu Chang, immune to hypnosis, he can’t discern Wu Chang’s truthfulness. But for testing Farrell, it’s perfectly sufficient.

Farrell’s answers were clear. At first glance, there wasn’t any sign of selective description, indicating his level is indeed insufficient to access the core content of the Praise Poem plan.

Wu Chang continued to ask:

”Then you surely know the location for converting Essence Armor, right? You’ve taken people there so many times; you can’t say you don’t know the way.”

Farrell’s eyes burned with anger, there must be a traitor, absolutely a traitor!

At least a Level Eight manager would know to take someone to a particular place for Essence Armor conversion.

Those few scumbags united with Hymn Hunters to deal with him.

At this moment, the faces of other Level Eight managers in Farrell’s mind twisted into evil and distorted expressions, except for Sean.

Because before yesterday, even Sean’s behavior never hinted at having seen the test version of Essence Armor, let alone knowing any secrets related to it.

The plan was meticulous, and even less scrupulous than him, but ultimately failed by one measure.

Farrell said, ”Though I don’t know where you got the intel from, I’m sorry that I indeed don’t know.”

”I can only tell you, after applying for Essence Armor transformation, a special shuttle will appear in the company depot. The shuttle has been specially treated so that upon entering, all electronic devices are blocked, and it’s impossible to determine the direction of movement, including for me.”

”Except for Schultz, only two people know its true location. They are both Level Nine partners; one is the laboratory’s Technical Director, the other is Mo Ke, who oversees the Security Department and was the one who drafted the plan to destroy Sid Town.”
