Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Empty Head_1

Angle’s explanation made Marlene suddenly realize, "I get it now, you’re here to avenge your brother!"

Both of these men possessed the nature of Safron, and their demeanors also bore a certain resemblance to that of an assassin.

"Revenge?"

Angle smiled, "The greatest kindness I showed him was not personally sending him to jail in the first place, not to mention I used to be a public servant."

The manual contained, besides the "interesting" part about Marlene, other contents that were all part of Dorago’s duties as a professional assassin. If these duties were to be made public, it would be enough to have him executed a dozen times over.

But at the very least, Dorago had observed his way of thinking until the very end—to live only for himself.

"So what exactly do you plan to do?"

Marlene was confounded by Angle.

"To be honest, I haven’t really figured it out yet."

Angle spoke the truth; he had found the "legacy" left behind by Dorago and saw some interesting information in one of the manuals, which gave him the impromptu idea to rescue Marlene from Dream Manufacture.

In the past few days, his self-appointed goal was to reach District 17.

Now that the plan was complete, his life had plunged into confusion.

The case he had been investigating had concluded, and for this, he had gone from a United Government official to a fugitive. His former colleagues were desperately trying to apprehend him, and once it was no longer possible to stay in District 17, it seemed his only option was to flee to the "outside world."

And Marlene had indeed asked a question that struck right at the soul.

Beyond an endless flight, what else was left in his life?

..................

On the other hand, Captain Doug also found himself in trouble.

Due to the disconnection of the neurological link, the elderly from the lower levels were experiencing various degrees of physical symptoms due to mental trauma, which forced them to temporarily act as a medical team and send the elderly to the nearest prosthetic hospital for treatment. Judging from the number of victims, this was definitely the top major case in District 17 in recent months.

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Glexy, meanwhile, was personally escorted back to the Law Enforcers department by Doug. If it weren’t for the leader constantly emphasizing the importance of enforcing the law civilly, Doug would have loved to land a few hard punches on Glexy.

But ever since being captured, the suspect had been very cooperative with their actions, holding his head with both hands, his face full of panic, without a hint of resistance.

This left Doug feeling somewhat without a cause.

After being pushed into the interrogation room, Glexy seemed to realize his future was bleak and suddenly showed a pained expression. He stiffened, knocking over the chair, and started rolling on the ground non-stop.

The whole act lasted for almost ten minutes, until Lu Xiang arrived after hearing the news, which finally put an end to Glexy’s exaggerated performance.

Then, Glexy showed an unprecedented level of cooperation.

Before Lu Xiang even began the interrogation, he voluntarily confessed to all his crimes, taking the principle of "leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist" to the extreme.

Lu Xiang, however, was not pleased by Glexy’s "candor." To her, it was clearly a form of resistance, his real intent—to take all the blame upon himself so that his "business partners" could get off scot-free. Although she had retrieved two days’ records from Glexy’s computer pointing to those people, this evidence was hardly enough to convict them directly.

To punish corporate people, the evidence had to be so solid that it left no room for doubt; any slight gap could give them a chance to escape conviction.

Especially since the person who would preside over the trial of this case would surely be someone from the Foster Family.

On her way back, Lu Xiang learned that Dream Manufacture and the Foster Family were intricately connected. The reason they dared to act so brazenly in District 17 was precisely because the Foster Family had previously backed them from behind.

With the withdrawal of the Foster Family, they had indeed become much "quieter."

"Even if you take the blame for them, they won’t let you go,"

Lu Xiang reminded Glexy, "You should be very well aware of the company’s methods. On the contrary, if you expose them, I can guarantee that you will serve your sentence in the West Suburb Prison after receiving your trial."

"No, it was all done by myself."

Glexy seemed uninterested in Lu Xiang’s bargaining chip, having repeated the same story since the start.

Lu Xiang acutely noticed something amiss about the other person.

At the moment, Glexy’s gaze was vacant, his eyes lifelessly staring ahead; since completing his exaggerated performance of getting up from the floor, he had fallen into this state.

She deliberately changed the subject, asking about other matters.

Glexy’s subsequent answers confirmed Lu Xiang’s hunch; he made no attempt to deny his crimes.

Including colluding with the Rebel Army,

maliciously manipulating election ballots,

assassinating the former mayor,

crimes against humanity,

and attempting to provoke the Fourth World War.

No matter how preposterous the crimes Lu Xiang proposed, Glexy maintained the same expression and admitted they were all committed by himself, and once these charges were established, what awaited him was not a 15-20 year imprisonment. Not only would he be executed by firing squad, but his name would also live in infamy throughout history.

For some reason, after being brought into the interrogation room, Glexy suddenly lost his will to live.

"Do you have a headache?"

Lu Xiang shifted the question.

"Yes, it was all done by myself."

He admitted again, as if in Glexy’s mind, "having a headache" had also become a form of crime.

Looking at the dazed director of Dream Manufacture before her, Lu Xiang had a thought—perhaps him clutching his head and rolling on the ground was not an act, but rather some virus had burrowed into his brain and fried it.

It indeed seemed like the work of a hacker.

The records showed that for better performance at work, Glexy had undergone cybernetic brain augmentation, having installed the "Company Good Employee Type III" operating system.

"It’s not a virus."

Song Lan, who was humbly observing and learning at the doorway, shared his observations, "His brain has been eaten by bugs, and there are parasitic worms implanted in his body."

"That’s why he suddenly fell to the ground just now."

Lu Xiang had an epiphany, but even with the truth revealed, there was no way for them to stop the process of the brain being eaten away.

"This bug is different from the ones we’ve seen before; it has always stayed inside this man’s head, looking more like a centipede."

The interference-type spiritual energy allowed him to sense the current state inside Glexy’s brain, a sight that was both bizarre and nauseating.

Lu Xiang closed her electronic notepad, no longer continuing the interrogation.

This, however, sparked her determination to continue the investigation, "They won’t get away with this!"
