Reagan's Perspective
Unlike William,
Ever since Reagan stood in front of the Blackworm Corporation's headquarters building, his mechanical body, which had not yet achieved ascension, had been continuously generating a sense of uneasiness, and was even autonomously generating strong electric currents to prevent him from entering the building.
Because the machine detected a presence in the building that could completely destroy everything Reagan had created so far, bringing the so-called "mechanical ascension" to an end.
When I took the elevator to the top floor of the headquarters and saw the boss's true self, I finally determined the source of this uneasiness.
When Reagan was working with the group of old guys who loved research, he used his free time to read some important intelligence they had recorded about ancient times.
Among them, the "special groups" mentioned are those between the various epidemic source areas, which are second only to the epidemic source.
Such as the 'Seven Marquises' of the Crimson Manor, the 'High Table' of the Cancer Palace, etc. They symbolize the top existence among the silver circles, and work with the Lord of the Plague to manage the armies under their command.
As the parasitic nest of the former source of the epidemic area, it naturally also has such a group, known as the "Protozoon of Hallownest".
Unlike the seven Marquises, there are only three Hallownest Chromatids and each one is extremely powerful.
The power here does not only refer to the parasitic protozoa themselves, but also the "hosts" parasitized by these protozoa have also reached the level of the head of the Silver Circle. Such host carriers are often called "Holy Nest", which means the most sacred and highest-level container.
When this host and the parasitic protozoan are combined, they will reveal an extremely powerful posture. In ancient times, any patient would show awe when talking about the protozoan of the Holy Nest.
Precisely because of their strength, when war came, outsiders noticed this group of parasites at the first moment and spared no effort to target the parasitic nest.
Eventually, with the death of the Plague Lord and the disappearance of the Chromatids of the Holy Nest, the main nest collapsed.
One of them is the "Holy Nest Chromatid", which is also the strongest Chromatid known as the "Right Hand of the King" in the legend, and its theme color is black.
"Holy Nest Chromatid, Burne Douglas!"
When Reagan retrieved this ancient and distant name from his memory, the vocal cords in his throat couldn't help but tremble as he pronounced it.
"You actually recognized me... I haven't appeared in the Old World for a long, long time."
The boss looked at the slightly plump human youth with some surprise, and at the same time directly confirmed this identity.
Although William on the side didn't know what the Holy Nest Chromatids were, he could roughly guess something from the fact that his boss was able to establish an organization of this scale and the pressure that was constantly released from the other party.
President Bourne politely invited the two to sit down and said, "Let's get straight to the point and talk about the issue of the Blood People. Can you tell me in detail the circumstances of Greedy Grid's death?"
William then briefly explained the situation on the human organization's side, and pointed out that Grid's destruction was largely due to greed.
"There is one more thing... After I killed Grid, I deliberately kept his brain alive and threw his head back to the Old World, declaring war directly on those blood people."
Upon hearing this, the boss showed an excited expression on his face, "Using Grid's head to declare war? Very creative, very thoughtful... I really don't know what kind of expression they will show when the head is delivered to them.
The only pity is that the truly dangerous guy, 'Gluttony' Gratoni, could not be completely killed, otherwise the overall strength of the blood people would be greatly reduced.
And that guy was smart not to return through the channel controlled by my company's post station, otherwise I would have rushed over to intercept him immediately."
"Well... Marquis Gratoni's devouring ability is indeed very dangerous. What does Mr. Bourne think of the blood people?" William also raised the question that he was most concerned about. If he could get the full support of the Black Ascaris Company, his chances of winning would be much greater.
The boss stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"This damned group of bloodworms is still continuing their madness from ancient times. They attacked our car without any negotiation and even killed all the crew members.
I will definitely deal with this matter.
However, because the Black Ascaris Company is in an important stage of development, if it wants to deal with these crazy bloodworms, it will also implicate the leather factory, which will directly lead to stagnation of the company's development.
You have seen that the company I founded has reached such a height in a short period of time. Once there is any problem, it will be suppressed by various forces, and even Rongchang will secretly intervene.
Therefore, I can only bury this matter deep in my heart for the time being, and wait until the company develops into the largest transfer company and is completely stable, then I will go and settle the score with those blood people.
However, since you, Mr. William, have declared war on these bugs, it seems that this matter can be moved forward a little."
When it comes to this,
President Bourne turned around, and the parasite in his body looked directly at William through the living eyes on the mask.
"How are you going to defeat these refugees from the old times?"
William still answered in a normal tone:
“I currently belong to the Circus of Fear, and my boss happens to hate the Blood People as well, so he should be very supportive of me in this matter.
The most important thing is myself. I must have a qualitative improvement before launching a general attack on the leather factory. The reason why I was able to kill Grid this time was more due to external factors.
In addition, there may be other forces involved, but I am not sure at this moment.”
"Circus, huh~"
Bourne became thoughtful after hearing the name of the circus.
"Come see me when you are ready to take action... By then, I will provide sufficient military support, and I will also be there in person if necessary."
"Thank you, Mr. Bourne."
President Bern sat back in his seat and drew something that looked like a parasite on the white paper with a pen. "By the way, William, since you are from the circus, I have something to ask you.
I heard that there is a very special parasite inside the circus, and it acts in the form of a parasite itself, not relying on or disdaining any host.
He even killed all of his own tribe, the "amoebas."
"Ah, this..." The person described by the boss was too familiar to William. "Mr. Bourne, the internal information about the circus is forbidden to be leaked. I can only tell you that there is such a person, and I know him."
"How's your strength?"
"very nice."
"Can you arrange for me to meet this guy? Don't worry, I won't harm him. I just want to see what kind of special parasite he is."
"I will try to communicate when I get back. As long as you have no ill intentions, Mr. Bourne, that's all."
"As long as they don't infringe on the rights of my company, I will treat everyone in a friendly manner. In the past war, the parasite nest was severely damaged and a large number of parasites died in the war. I am still very happy to see the rise of geniuses among my own race.
When are you going to return to the circus?"
"I took a month's vacation when I came out, and now there's about half a month left."
"Half a month
How about this, you and your friends stay here with me for the rest of the time. With your talent, perhaps you can learn something useful from my company, which will allow you to achieve a qualitative change in advance.
During this period, you will also enjoy the company's high treatment. If you have any questions, you can come here to see me directly. I will give you the highest authority."
"Thank you, Mr. Bourne."
“I haven’t thanked you for killing Grid yet. You are so young and yet you have been favored by the First Abyss and achieved this. If you hadn’t joined the circus, I would have dug you here at all costs.
Of course, Mr. Reagan, if you are interested in joining our company, I would be very happy.
With your 'identity', you don't even need too much assessment and verification to enter our R&D department. Take a deep look at it in the next few days. If you have any ideas in this regard, you can choose to stay, even if it is a temporary contract. "
"OK."
Reagan showed great respect to the famous 'Chlorophore of the Holy Nest', bowed, and followed William out of the office.
President Bern looked at the two figures leaving and couldn't help but sigh.
“After the combination of the diseases of the outside world and ours, such talents can appear at the same time... It seems that the world infection is not a coincidence but intentional. The future world structure and operation model may even change because of such young people.
But it should be changed... Otherwise, we will still lose the war."
