Chapter 1548 Catching up -Part 10
And as Jin exited the Minotaur Roleplaying Room, he entered one that seemed to be more absurd than the previous. But considering how the main character of the room is, Jin can only understand why it was being created such as this.
Televisions, Televisions and more Televisions.
Each time a group of Mechanoids entered the room, all of their memories and thoughts were being broadcast into these once lifeless monitors. The commanders who saw this site did not realise how these Mechanoids had their own explicit thoughts, ranging from how "my commander was such an incompetent ass" to "Just let me die, my sensors are stating how dangerous this place is and my commander is ignoring me."
"Destroy the monitors and find the real culprit behind all of this!" The current commander shouted but to his surprise, none of the Mechanoids were listening to him. Instead, each of them was glued onto a particular television screen, seeing how their life memories were played out like a movie.
Second per second, portions of their dreaded memories were shown and each of them felt despair as time went by. But one thing was for sure. A seed of yearning had been implanted in their mechanical heads for the very first time.
But as this metaphorical seed subsequently turned into something subsequent, they unknowingly realised that their code had been overwritten and slowly but surely their desire to kill the one leading them was growing.
From just these small side thoughts while viewing their past memories, their fingers inched closer to their trigger and their eyes occasionally looked at the ruthless commander that had been untiringly ordering them to do absurd stuff.
However, even with all this persuasion from just watching this televised video, their restraining codes were holding them back. They might be able to voice their displeasure but never they had the ability to retaliate with action… Not until today.
It was as if this was meant to be.
It was as if this was the karma that their commander deserve.
It was as if this was what justice felt like.
"Just do it." These three words were suddenly whispered into their ears and it was more than enough for it to be the trigger for their subsequent actions.
"What are you waiting for??!" Their commander shouted and everything came down like a set of dominos. All of the Mechanoids in the vicinity immediately raised their pistols and shot against their commander.
From all directions, the commander was pierced by multiple lead bullets. It would have been fine if he was being aimed at the vitals and his life ended at that point in time. But the brainwashed Mechanoids felt that it was not enough of a punishment for him. Each and every one of the Mechanoids had calibrated their shots based on their distance, allowing him to be hit at his extremities first and slowly working their way to his torso.
Eventually, when the last few shots were aimed at his chest, the commander was filled with so many holes that he dropped dead, bleeding everything that was contained within him. At that point, all the Mechanoids felt as if they were liberated from their commander and kneeled towards the direction where Jin was.
"Seriously, Kiyu. You are one such person that should never be underestimated." Jin said and the fox girl giggled as she sat at the top of a pile of those old school Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) televisions. Jin slowly climbed up the messy and yet delicately placed pile to sit right beside her as he saw how the Mechanoids were assimilated into his ranks with the aid of Kiyu's brainwashing.
"Then what about those Mechanoids who had a decent commander?"
"Oh for those?" Kiyu tapped on a TV and it buzzed a little before showing Jin a clip of what had happened. In summary, all of them realised how futile it was to go against Kiyu and they decided to commit suicide as a group as she allowed them how they wished to pass on.
As for the mentioned clip, they had the illusion of having a decent meal while staying in a great mansion before all of them placed their pistol in their mouths to shoot themselves.
"But before that, a number of them were asking whether their commander could be spared. Obviously, I told them the truth and they all embraced the fact that everyone will die."
"They did not resist you?"
"The helplessness was real, Boss. There was nothing they could do against me. The only mercy they could get from me was a quick death."
"I am starting to understand why Kraft got you."
"Oh please, that guy is the person that I even need to be careful with. He can be caring and at the same time, backstabs you just to make sure you are not too dead."
"Regardless, you still feel indebted to him after that. He is such a terrible guy."
"Don't say that in his face, he will feel that is a compliment for him."
"I cannot believe I am saying this but I think I am missing him."
"Boss. Just keep your mouth shut until you get back your body. I do not want to clear up his mess." Kiyu pouted knowing that such compliments would make the Devil Fox to be stuck up. After which, the both of them laughed, knowing that this sick twisted yearning for Kraft was more than just uncanny.
"How are you holding up Boss?"
"I should ask the same."
"Meh, Qiu Yue is not an easy person to work with. I must admit she is great considering what she is doing to optimise everything but… BUT! Her works are awfully boring. Even though your work could be at times borderline boring too, there were still some highlights within it so it's still fun. I take it as a challenge."
"As for her work. URGH!" Kiyu said with such passion that Jin could not help but snicker and he understood where she was getting at as she expressed her emotions with the help of the surrounding CRT TVs.
Each one of them lit up showing a moment in life when Kiyu was facing the difficulty to make things interesting. "It's not a challenge. IT'S A CHOREEEEEE!"
"So, you think this is a feedback session?" Jin smiled as he folded his arm to see the fox girl ranting.
"I can't take it as such? I assume that is the case, and that is why I decided to take the System's offer to come here. Else, I won't be bothered coming here."
"Alright. Alright. I shall partake in your rants. In return, give me some information on what's happening in the Dungeon World." Jin said and Kiyu immediately whined at him. He knows Kiyu's personality to a certain extent and therefore understood how the demanding Qiu Yue would be such a bad match with Kiyu. There was no way the current lady boss would be forgiving when there were so many things to fix.
So, all he could do now was quietly listen to Kiyu's rants as the same cycle of Mechanoids rushing into the room happened.
