Chapter 64: Catch me if you can [1]
\'You\'ve made it, I know right 15 days just to get at this very moment, I\'m getting chased by my readers and some Npc\'s that we\'re mixed with the crowd. so I suspect you\'ve got the gist of it, Gaia Taneric aka me infiltrated this base and now I\'m running, since you\'ve come a long way might as well have the Good O\'l Rewind in three two one,\'

"So, they invited me to their secret base and spew a ton of bullshit about them working on a cure for the infected and what not, but I didn\'t find anyone that has the description Lillith mentioned before, The Avatar Theodore Castillo," His report were paused when one of his team brought along another player
"Black hair and brown eyes, with the ability to shift from player to deity, I\'ve fought him before his fighting style is a little different. and he may even have the ability of a skill that\'s similar to foresight,"
[If that Avatar was a seer then he could\'ve seen his fighting style in his predictions]
\'That reader intended to kill off Hugo I wonder why and the weirdest thing is the fact that he\'s a reader. why does he want to break my plot I never had any dispute apart from my bully, and his name is completely different from him,\'
"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
"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
\'Krosselis the fourth, I\'m not sure if you\'re truly one of the vassals my reader is so proud of due to your achievements in finding an intelligent person, apart from the need for a batch of young people to work. you\'re also in need of scholars that are knowledgeable in the world of alchemy, I kind of have a clue about some of your plans which are related to the infected. this isn\'t the time to get so worked up I need to use that skill,\'
[System: The player Christopher Morris has activated the skill Personality alteration, you\'ve chosen the File name Gaia Taneric]
\'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
"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
[System: an emotion that\'s not implemented in the Personality of Gaia Taneric has been neutralized]
After a short rest, the two of them who shared a meal gazed at the empty hallway of the workshop that was brimming with all sorts of patients that come and go after they receive their medication. after their remaining time was spent they headed to the entrance of the secret base revealing metallic stairs leading down below. when he wasn\'t paying attention to Morris\'s movements he sends out his familiars along with a Mirage to the location where he detected the abducted victims of his reader
[System: your left eye is now connected with your familiars, this effect will last until they are called back or they gained the required distance]
\'It\'s time to start my grand plan,\'
