Chapter 11 - The Tuner of the World (Part 1)

"The secrets I know should not be wasted like this! Time is running out, and if you are not prepared, I will take my leave first..."

"Could it be... you..."

"Hmph, it seems you have no intention of stopping here. Instead, you want to stop me?"

Enraged, Adam laughed maniacally. His body dissolved into tiny sparks of light before A, leaving only his final words in the air:

"Let me show you who will emerge victorious!"

After saying goodbye to his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), A finally saw the display screen he had longed for for so long. Through the cognitive filter, A could clearly see Ye Lan ending the fake Binah.

However, the "work over" button remained grayed out, as if some change had occurred that even Ye Lan, who had seen the plot, was unaware of, and it slowly appeared in the company headquarters facilities.

While A was still searching for the cause of the incident, a figure gradually appeared in the main lounge of the construction department. However, no matter how hard A searched, the location of the incident was not visible on his monitor screen.

"Angela, I can't finish my work today because of what happened inside the facility."

"Supervisor, it has been confirmed that a new fake Binah has appeared in the Construction Department. No, it has been confirmed that a fake 'Tuner' has been generated."

"What?! I understand."

The supervisor unloaded all the bullets from his specially made firearm and then loaded a signal flare into the magazine. He then activated the communication system and fired the signal flare towards the construction department's break room.

"This is A. Inform all staff at headquarters that an abnormal challenge has appeared in the Construction Department—a fake 'Tuner.' Warn all employees to unite as one. Only by making the greatest effort can we have a chance to defeat her."

Upon hearing this warning, Ye Lan nearly fainted and slid off the corpse of the fake Binah he had just killed. Unlike Sister Hong, or Geburah, Lock Mom, or Binah, was more adept at ranged attacks.

At the same time, as a member of the city's "head", she is able to use various means to influence the management of the containment chamber. Ye Lan was able to defeat the fake version of her almost entirely because her colleagues worked hard to remove the various special abilities she released.

The recoil caused by the dissipation of these abilities exposed Binah's weaknesses, which allowed Ye Lan, wearing a thin shroud, to find a way to defeat her.

However, these weaknesses and coping mechanisms are only effective against Binah, who has been transformed into a box spirit.

The one who appeared at the Construction Department at that moment was Garion, the "Tuner of the World".

That is, before her death, Binah still possessed the authority of a "head" and was able to use the Singularity Technology of multiple companies.

A voice suddenly joined A's conversation with the department heads: "What!? She... isn't a real 'tuner'... right? If she is the real one, you'd better realize how serious a breach of contract is..."

Miao, the captain of the Rabbit Team, was dispatched by R Company to Lobotomy Corporation headquarters to participate in security work after signing a contract with the company. She looked at the enemy in front of her with horror.

Although rabbits are never afraid of death, when faced with a "leader" or "tuner," death is not the end of everything.

They launched futile attacks on the "Tuner" with the shooting weapons provided by Lobotomy Corporation, but the bullets fired by these special ego guns only created ripples on the barrier in front of the "Tuner".

Subsequently, half of them were torn to pieces by countless "demons" that resembled thin threads of light.

Leading the remaining rabbits of the rabbit team into a side elevator, Miao immediately questioned A: "Damn it... is this what you meant by her not being a real 'Tuner'? She can even use singularity technology!"

"She's definitely not real. Keep your rabbits on the line. My staff are heading over here to provide support."

This "tuner" was no stranger to A, after all, she had almost single-handedly wiped out the research team back then.

At that time, Geburah used the tuner to release the chaos caused by the anomalies in the research institute, and seized on the flaw that Galion revealed due to arrogance. It was at the cost of her life that she severely injured Galion, allowing Lobotomy Corporation to continue to survive.

However, the current Geburah does not possess the power it once had, and A cannot release all the anomalies. He was unsure whether he could defeat this fake "Tuner" retrieved from the well.

However, A said that all employees had been sent to the construction department to provide support, but in reality, there was still one employee who had not yet taken action.

Ye Lan, who was in the R&D department with Binah, called out to Angela, "Angela, I need your help!"

"I am here..."

"I need to talk to Netzach about something."

As Angela connected Ye Lan to Netzach, Ye Lan said to Binah beside him, "Didn't you want to know my secret? I'm going to show you part of it next."

"Oh?" Having lost the foundation of all her interests—her body—Binah was indeed intrigued by Ye Lan's words. For this reason, this genuine "Tuner," who had lost most of her fighting power, even stood up from her seat, staring intently at Ye Lan as if afraid he would disappear before her eyes.

Although the meaning behind that gaze was mostly just that they found it amusing.

A moment later, Netzach's voice reached Ye Lan's ears: "Ye Zi, you'd better get to the point. Time is passing at almost twice as fast, and I'm too busy to keep up."

"The regenerative reactor can heal me as long as I have a breath left, right?"

"Yes. Wait, what do you want to do?!"

"Just give your best employee a little trust, and remember to save my life later."

After saying that, Ye Lan unilaterally shut down communication with Netzach, then said to Angela, "Open the containment chambers for the little bird, the tallbird, and the bigbird..."

Immediately afterward, in front of Binah, Ye Lan's twilight suit melted away, and a pair of jet-black wings with dim yellow eyes struggled to grow from Ye Lan's back. Bloodstained bandages covered his entire body, and a huge mouth running through his body opened, speaking to Binah:

"That's my first secret, isn't it?"
