"We can't be sure but we can assume he has that skill, what would it change if we know of his skill? if he can see our next moves then it would've been impossible for you to survive," Morris reminded him of the scars he gained from the incident which were pointed to his organs and joints that could've ended his life freewēbnoveℓ.com
"So what's the strategy this time, Lillith told us of their overwhelming numbers and that's not even the main reason for our worries. the fact that this trial is the birthplace of the deity, for what I know about deities is the fact that they get more powerful once they're inside their territory," Jin pointed out the most crucial problem in their plans and it was the trial itself the territory of their opposing deity
Morris smirked and proceeded to explain the rest of his plans which surprises them with a plan to perfectly lure them away from their base and succeed in accomplishing their missions. after their discussions, all of them continued with their temporary assignment to monitor the other buildings to see if they might have been secretly supporting Theodore's schemes in the shadows
"It's so good to see you again Mr. Gaia how's your day has your wounds been doing well?" Kros greeted him at the entrance of the workshop, to which he responded by changing his posture to an injured person while he uses a cane to support his leg

'Due to my success in Brainwashing Lillith, I received a skill meant to help to neutralize my emotions. I can Brainwash myself to a certain degree to cancel my emotions and my fear altogether, which can turn me into a cold-blooded killer once I've changed to my altered personality. still, I can utilize this skill in many ways, for example perfecting my acting, it's just a little precaution if I were to slip and attack Castillo,'
[System: you've successfully changed your Personality to that of Gaia Taneric, any kind of emotion, mood swings, or intent to kill will be neutralized if it's not in the programming of the selected Personality]
"Thank you for worrying about my condition, the medication that the workshop gave me is doing wonders for my body, in any case, we need to continue on our work my injuries will heal. but the fate of humanity must be made before the infected break our walls,"
The two of them made entered the workshop, attending every branch, and supervise the ones that were new to the company. he was a shining beacon for the oldest employees and the new ones that recently arrived to work, this kind of arduous task didn't faze him the slightest. it even helped him, to have a reason to connect with the people that were in the range of the abducted individuals by placing a bug that will show him their locations he did this, with every remaining time he had left before the sun goes down. and they'll be the next bunch of people that will mysteriously disappear without leaving a single trace
[Did you bug every last one of them?]
"Yes, now shut your mouth I can't speak any more than I could, it will draw too much-unwanted attention towards us. these people are too wary of their surroundings that they even bugged every single place except for the restroom,"
Morris checked the cube which displayed a dot of every single one of the employees that were a target of abduction after he confirmed that one of them was taken to his location below 40 kilometers. confirming a secret tunnel leading down to a location where they kept them alive due to another feature of his planted bug which detects a person's heartbeat. after he concluded his assumption he sends the message to his ally to wait for his next orders which made him exit the toilet after leaving a solution that imitates the smell of a discarded waste
"Mr. Gaia are oka- oh god what's with that smell, I can't breathe," Kros quickly left the bathroom stall after getting a whiff of his artificially made gas, leading him to a nearby trash can where he vomited his guts freewёbnoνel.com
"I told you to wait, didn't I tell you I have a stomach ache, it must be something that I ate I never experience anything like that. can you lend me a hand I don't have any strength remaining to walk on my own," Morris place his right hand that was soaked with the same liquid that he spread inside the toilet, which stimulates Kros's nose which sends another wave for his vomit to enter the trashcan
[Hahahahaha, I can't stop it, this is hilarious I can't believe he fall for it, Morris put your hand near his nose]
His facial expressions didn't change due to the effect of his skill, he looks concerned about Kros's well-being. which was the opposition to his true feeling, Morris was laughing at his pain and suffering. which wasn't seen in his current state, no matter how hard he tries he's skill won't allow him to override his chosen personality
