Players complained that this NPC killed people without blinking an eye

Chapter 140 Gu Yeming!

......

Company headquarters, boss' office.

"You just said...the Mutated Coglet left on its own?"

"Yes, Boss. According to the information transmitted by our intelligence personnel stationed near the Kongmeng Empire, the Mutant Cogret had already left a few minutes ago."

"How much damage did the Kongmeng Empire suffer as a result of the invasion?"

"Only District 1 was completely destroyed. The other districts were more or less affected, but most of them were not serious. Only Districts 2 and 3 were relatively close and were more seriously affected."

"Alas...those beasts are not so easy to fool."

"I'm afraid they guessed what we were thinking, so they evacuated so early."

After hearing the secretary's report, the boss sighed. He slowly raised his hands and pressed his temples for a while. Then he murmured slowly, "The Mutant Coglete... Haha, he is smarter than those uncivilized low-level monsters."

Having said this, he paused, and then continued to ask: "Have you observed the direction in which the Mutation Coglete left?"

"No, boss." Upon hearing this, the secretary shook his head and said, "The Mutant Coglet seems to have an ability to block signal perception. Unless observed with the naked eye, as for other means... it is difficult to obtain its whereabouts."

"All the strange monsters at the disaster level seem to have this characteristic. Most of them hide in a place unknown to the world and rarely have time to come out."

"Boss, let me put it bluntly, but in short, our plan has gone down the drain."

After hearing these words, the boss still leaned back in his chair without saying anything. It seemed that the failure of the plan had no effect on him.

After a few seconds, he adjusted the black mask on his face and said in a low voice: "It's okay, this situation... is expected."

"There are no successful cases in the world. Failure is normal."

"After this incident, I'm afraid those beasts have become a little defensive."

"It won't be so easy to deceive them in the future."

"Well... never mind. If we fail, we fail. Let's just focus on creating artificial weird monsters. These will be one of our main forces in the future."

"Of course, even though this happened, there is no need to feel any psychological burden in dealing with those beasts. Just do business as normal. We provide intelligence here, and they provide materials. It's a very reasonable transaction."

"Now is not the time to turn against them. We should squeeze as much profit as possible."

"Yes." The secretary nodded heavily and kept the boss's words in mind.

"And..." Suddenly, the boss changed the subject and asked the secretary, "How are the two senior executives we sent to the Kongmeng Empire now?"

Hearing this, the secretary replied in an orderly manner: "Unfortunately, Boss, according to the observations of the life detection room, one of the senior executives named Hawkins has died."

"But another senior executive named Li Rui is still alive. After discovering Hawkins' death, we tried to contact him to find out what happened and why Hawkins died."

"But what we didn't expect was that Li Rui seemed to have shut down the communication channel between us and him, and destroyed the tracker that was planted on him."

"Putting all this together, Boss, I'm afraid that this senior executive named Li Rui... has defected."

"So, you suspect that it was this Li Rui who killed Hawkins?" Hearing this, the boss' tone rose slightly, and he seemed a little surprised about Li Rui's defection.

"Yes, sir, if he had done nothing wrong, there would be no need for him to do this."

"Although we can't be 100% sure that Hawkins was murdered, there must be something fishy going on," said the secretary.

"Where is the self-destruct chip in his head? Didn't it activate after you found out he had defected?" Hearing this, the boss seemed even more confused. He said:

"Could it be possible that he extracted the chip through some means?"

"I'm sorry... yes, boss."

The secretary replied somewhat helplessly: "This guy named Li Rui is hiding deeper than we thought. We originally thought that he was just a loner, but we didn't expect that he actually did these things in secret."

"But the reason for his defection...I'm afraid he knew that we were using him as cannon fodder."

"And... I don't know how he escaped the brainwashing process, otherwise he would never have had the thought of defecting."

The boss sat in his chair silently, looking as if he had no reaction.

However, the secretary at the side felt a little difficulty breathing, and felt a strong sense of oppression slowly rising into his heart.

"Thoroughly check the heads of all senior executives to prevent examples like Li Rui from happening again in the future."

Suddenly, the boss spoke, his tone was extremely cold, and he was obviously a little angry. He said slowly: "If this happens again, all the people responsible for the brainwashing process and implanting the self-destruct chip will be fed to those artificial monsters."

"Yes..." Beads of cold sweat appeared on the secretary's forehead, and he nodded quickly in response.

“And—” At this point, the boss paused and continued, “Call all the people I just mentioned to the viewing hall, randomly pick three people from them, and feed them alive to those monsters in front of the others.”

"The brainwashing process is very important. When something like this happens... we can't just let it go like that."

"Yes." Feeling the oppressive feeling around him disappear in an instant, the secretary secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response.

"How is Shadow Walker doing in the Kongmeng Empire?"

The boss stopped talking about these things and started asking about the Shadow Walker.

The secretary was silent for a few seconds, then said: "Boss...it's dead too."

In order to prevent his boss from getting angry again, he quickly added, "But before it died, it did pass on some information to us."

"Information?" The boss narrowed his eyes slightly under the black mask and said impatiently, "Then tell me quickly."

"Yes." The secretary nodded quickly and shouted towards the door, "Come in!"

"crunch-"

The next second, the door opened and an employee came in carrying a square block of glass in both hands. After bowing respectfully to the boss and the other two, he slowly placed the block of glass in front of the boss.

In the glass block, a dark purple energy ball is now floating in the center.

This is actually the psionic power of the Shadow Walker!

The boss glanced at the energy ball on the table, then looked at the secretary beside him in some confusion, as if asking something.

Seeing this, the secretary quickly explained, "Boss, Shadow Walker had specially manifested this phantom energy before he left, saying that if he died, this phantom energy would pass on information to us when he was dying."

"If you want to know the content of the intelligence, you must break the glass shell. These are the original words of the Shadow Walker before he left."

After hearing this, the boss finally understood. He nodded, and after the employee who was standing respectfully not far away left, he slowly stretched out a finger and tapped the glass lightly.

"Crack——!"

With a crisp sound, the glass block wrapped in psionic energy shattered!

After the glass shattered, the psionic ball quickly split into three small balls. The three small balls changed their shapes back and forth, and then slowly turned into three words -
