Chapter 173 NO.00ac: The Emperor's New Clothes

Perse Fanny just quietly watched these people perform hard, as if watching a poor farce.

The conclusion that "Theseus" was sent into the company headquarters by Icarus as a "bomb" for a terrorist attack had so many loopholes that she didn't even bother to try to refute it.

Those who can come to Tartarus to work are all elites in their respective fields, and this kind of remarks in front of them is almost to the extent of talking nonsense

Compared to this conclusion full of loopholes, what Fanny finds even more ridiculous is another thing—even though everyone knows in their hearts that they are talking nonsense, and at the same time, they also know that others know that they know it is nonsense...

But everyone still has to try their best to put on an appearance of "I believe it".

It's like in "The Emperor's New Clothes", even if everyone sees the king parading naked, they all try to praise how beautiful the clothes are.

But the funniest thing is not this...

thought Fanny.

Afterwards, the whole meeting revolved around these two topics and discussed for more than two hours, but what was actually said could be explained clearly in two sentences.

"...In view of the board's concern over the progress of the reverse reduction project of the bio-protein chip 'Pegasus', we believe that Ms. Perse Fanny will continue to be in charge of various matters in the Nord resettlement area at present, which may cause the project's failure. Lag. Considering what the non-government organization 'Icarus' in the Nord resettlement area has been doing, we also think that your previous strategy is a little inappropriate, so..."

In the end, the host looked at Fanny and stated the real purpose of this meeting:

"We hope that in the near future—specifically, when their geothermal power plant is completed—the company will deploy a rapid response force to decapitate the terrorist group immediately, so as to completely root out their roots in the resettlement area. Toxic.

"And this job, with all due respect, is not suitable for you. Therefore, we intend to replace you with someone more suitable for this job.

"So, what's your opinion?"

As these words fell to the ground, all eyes in the meeting room turned to him in unison.

And there was a gaze in it that made her feel extra heavy.

That was since the start of the meeting was announced, and he had been closing his eyes and meditating. Prison D who didn't say a word during the whole meeting.

Director of the Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center, Lord of Cerberus.

He opened his eyes and looked at himself, as if asking himself to give an answer that would satisfy everyone present.

Fanny understood that today's meeting—whether it was the lame reason or the ridiculous conclusion—was the intention of this quasi-high-ranking figure who had the right to see the board of directors.

Everything that was like a farce before was actually paving the way for this moment.

He hoped that he could hand over the power in his hands and continue to focus on the reverse restoration research on the prosthetic "Pegasus", instead of continuing to toss in the resettlement area.

Should I be proud of being treated like this?

Fanny thought bitterly.

Because I was hired by one of the directors of Pluto's deep dive, and paid a lot of money from the Apollo creature. Under the halo of being taken care of by the "director", she can be said to be in a detached position within Tartarus.

Although there may not be any substantive rights, in fact most of my requirements can be met. Moreover, no one dared to openly trip themselves up.

Probably because of this, the opponent needs to use this winding method to put pressure on himself to give up voluntarily.

Otherwise, based on the level difference between them under the company's rating system, if the other party wants to take back their power. According to the company's system, it should have been a matter of one sentence.

There is absolutely no need to come up with such a scene now.

By now, Fanny finally figured it out.

Now, she knew that the other party was lying—the other party was actually using her from the beginning. Allowing himself to take over the Nord resettlement area, he only intends to kill the donkey after the other party has completed the construction of the geothermal power station, and then support the gang loyal to the company to take over the underground of the resettlement area.

Now, she knew they were afraid of the possible potential of "Theseus" and of "Hecate" who might ride him and continue to wreak havoc on the company. Therefore, in order to eliminate the possibility of those Icarus finally resisting, they killed the innocent man.

She knows, she knows...

She once wanted to save some people, and she once wanted to find a way for the company and the people to live together.

But these are...

She couldn't help but recall the scene when she first went to negotiate at the bottom of the resettlement area in person earlier.

The child named "Liao Qi" said to himself at the time - you can't do anything.

But the reality is exactly as the child who struggled from bottom to bottom said.

I can't do anything by myself.

At this moment, Perse Fanny looked around at those people in the meeting room——in her opinion, these people were wearing the so-called righteousness of "protecting human wisdom" and telling lies that even she didn't believe. Parade down the street.

Parading naked in the street is hilarious.

It's funnier when everyone tries to pretend they can see the clothes.

But in the end, the funniest thing was me...

thought Fanny.

In the conference room, under the gaze of countless gazes, Fanny felt so powerless before.

She didn't have the courage to be the child who exposed lies.

Several times, the words had reached her lips, but she still didn't have the courage to say them in front of everyone.

In the end, what she said was:

"Then who will succeed me in the resettlement area?"

After being silent for a while, she lowered her voice and asked.

"We will conduct a democratic vote in the future. But please rest assured that no matter who we choose, in future operations against the terrorist organization Icarus, we will only behead the top leaders of the organization and the behind-the-scenes. No harm will be done to innocent people. It may cause less harm to the bottom-level residents in the resettlement area...your previous efforts will be preserved."

The moderator answers.

"Half-bane troops and Ye Qian, who is familiar with the local conditions, have already been pre-appointed to take over the work, and will kill everyone in the Icarus Liberation Front—it is better to kill by mistake than let it go."

The other party's speech was automatically translated in Fanny's mind.

But she didn't want to trust her translator.

"What are you going to do with 'Theseus' who became the 'Wanderer' before, and other Icarus members who participated in the deep dive salvage?"

Fanny continued.

"Theseus will be 'harmless' first to ensure that he will not pose a threat to the safety of Tartarus. As for the other Icarus members, we will be here for them before confirming their safety." Get the right job."

The man replied and continued.

"We will inject a shot of 'scavenger' into Theseus' biological brain. As for the others, we will follow the original plan and let them dig until they die."

Fanny continued to translate again in her heart.

"If that's the case... then let me think about it again.

"At least let me think about the Nord resettlement area."

After a long silence, she spoke with difficulty.

Seeing this, the moderator directly confirmed:

"In other words, including 'Theseus', the authority to deal with Icarus' prisoners of war is now given to us, right?"

Fanny closed her eyes—she had promised those people that she would let them go home.

After a while, she nodded.

Prison D, who had been silent by the side, saw this, and immediately sent an order to the fourth prison.

[For the non-threatening transformation of code-named Theseus, start now]

The members of Cerberus who received the order immediately opened the suitcases that had been prepared, and took out a series of equipment including the "scavenger" from it. After experiments and tests, the activity of the opponent's biological brain is finally ended.

It may be that they were too focused on the work at hand, and they didn't notice that at the entrance of another prison not far away, the display screen used to monitor the life data of the subject suddenly flashed a mosaic.

That prison is exactly the prison where Carol Christie, the one who faces the abyss, was held.

as if it's too late, i'm guilty
