Chapter 1151: Chapter 968: Deeper Within

Wherever Song Lan goes, calamity follows, the true embodiment of a Jinx Star, even in this prison famed for the United Government’s tightest security.

The prisoners from D Zone, driven into a frenzy, even knowing they cannot eliminate the residents of D Zone transformed into Consciousness Entities, throw caution to the wind to exact a price from their opponents.

Long-standing grudges inevitably reach a breaking point.

The death of the Judge sounded the clarion call for retaliation for the slaves in B Area.

In the RT6’s Plan A, the more chaos in D Zone, the happier they are, except now they are also targets of attack. These are the most impulsive and reckless bunch, completely irrational in this environment, like wild beasts without reason, ready to pounce on anyone they encounter in D Zone.

After cleaning up the attackers who rushed into the fast-food restaurant, RT6 held an emergency tactical meeting.

With a light leap, she took her place on the right hand of the "Emperor" by landing on a bench, the seat reserved for her leading the war room.

When performing the Prosthesis Modification on the "Emperor," she took practicality into account by making the shoulders a bit wider, although this was the first time she sat on this "throne" meant only for her.

RT6 crossed her legs and even her tone became prouder as she spoke, "While this guy was off fighting in the arena, I also uncovered some clues about the Black Hand behind the scenes. The key is the Shedding Ceremony."

"Shedding Ceremony?"

Among all present, only Angle showed a look of shock.

Without a doubt, he was the only one still out of the loop, so being true to the principle of ’leave no one behind,’ RT6 explained to him alone, "You must have encountered those unhuman Shadow figures. They are the product of the Shedding Ceremony. The key is, how were these people chosen?"

With a wave of her right hand, a holographic projection appeared on the previously empty round table of the restaurant.

The holograph detailed the arena battles of the past few months and ranked them according to the win-loss records of the fighters.

The dense text and symbols were slightly dizzying—likely even the operators of the gladiator arena wouldn’t have compiled the data into such detailed charts.

With a swipe of RT6’s index finger in the air, the chart was highlighted in blue, red, and green, marking out three sections, "Pay attention to these three parts. Among all the contestants, those who have won 10 matches, achieving three consecutive victories have all mysteriously disappeared. When they were seen again, they had completed the Shedding Ceremony."

She paused, then continued, "The red marked section is a bit special. They don’t have much in common with each other. Some are arena regulars, others are newcomers who’ve only fought twice. Their only commonality is that the Judge had personally been present to watch their battles."

Angle, deep in thought, said, "The Judge has the power to recommend candidates. Prisoners he recommended would get the chance to partake in the Shedding Ceremony."

"But not everyone can get through the ceremony."

RT6 added, "Of all the names marked, less than thirty percent completed the Shedding Ceremony, the rest remain missing."

Song Lan and Lu Xiang previously "infiltrated" the Judge’s office, pulling information from his computer that filled in the last piece of the puzzle.

"Aimike Sewage Treatment Factory, less than two blocks away from the fast-food restaurant. After submitting the list, the chosen ones were sent there."

"Then we should not delay; let’s set off immediately."

Angle proposed.

"The right approach is to split up into two groups, as we have a few here who can’t defend themselves amidst the chaos."

RT6 cast a sidelong glance at the restaurant’s owner and Ms. Devin Hona, trembling in fright from the turmoil. After all, she’s no demon; having met them, she naturally wouldn’t just use them like a used cloth and leave them to their fate.

These people staying in the store would certainly become targets for the rioters, but accompanying them to Aimike Sewage Treatment Factory would be of no help and could even be burdensome in a critical moment.

"All of this is part of my plan. With the prisoners of B Area in uproar, it means that aside from the patroling mechanical monstrosities and Aberrations, there are no other threats in B Area at the moment. I’ll find a way to send them back to B Area."

Leave no one behind.

That was the slogan first proposed by Song Lan.

If it were the RT6 of old, she would have disregarded these unrelated people, but since making contact with the "Emperor" and Song Lan, her way of thinking has shifted significantly more human-like.

Empathy is a trait unique to humans.

"Although I can’t hack the prison’s authority system, creating a temporary one-way channel is within reach."

The division of the group was then clear, "Angle and I will go together to escort Ms. Devin Hona and the owner back to B Area, ’Emperor,’ you follow them to the sewage treatment plant. I will remotely send you the layout of that place."

"Understood."

Elsewhere.

The clashes coming from above ground startled Qi He and the others.
