Chapter 2510: Chapter 2505: Pride and Laurie
Since everyone will be mapped in, where did the original people go when the Greedy Worms took over the office?
Considering there are already examples in front of us, connecting some things isnât really difficult.
Someone can turn into a real corpse or gravestone, so why canât they turn into accident reports or even obituaries?
Itâs even reasonable that the original goal of the Greedy Worms was to deal with them, and now it has turned into office workers handling reports, isnât it?
Interpreting the content of reports has always been a technical skill, and for Fu Qian, this time the difficulty isnât even high, resolving the previous doubts in one fell swoop.
"What? Does it write about the enlightenment of the Death Overlord inside?"
Unfortunately, Miss Selana is obviously more pragmatic, somewhat dissatisfied with Fu Qian for not taking action and just reading the reports.
"Strictly speaking, it seems that way, they are all major accidents."
And Fu Qian had already found a second report, agreeing with her observation as he read.
"Of course I know, but itâs unfortunately a bit too confidential, no names at all."
It turns out Selana indeed wasnât careless, as some documents had been examined.
"Yes, not even the companyâs name."
Fu Qian continued to agree, casually tossing aside the second report.
"Why do so much erasing?"
Though he tossed it in front of Brother Shu Lan, and in the next moment questioned, clearly dissatisfied with the work done in this aspect.
"All actions must be kept secret..."
This time there was actually a response, Brother Shu Lan spoke in a numb voice.
...
Seems quite reasonable.
Not only does it fit the identity at the moment, but it also aligns with the task on the other side.
Like the Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist, Brother Shu Lan is also somewhat wooden, barely acknowledging the previous conversation between the two.
However, itâs not exactly a lethargic work style, Fu Qian would even prefer to call it focused.
The sitting posture was somewhat upright, and Brother Shu Lanâs mental focus seemed entirely on the concept of "being at work," although the content of the work wasnât clear.
Itâs practically the highest realm of working.
Selana was right, they maintained a special mental state.
It even evokes the content elders have described, most deceased lack inner strength and tranquility, always needing concepts to rely on.
"It seems that even with minor issues, their awareness of secrecy is still high."
Though Fu Qian thought a lot, the observers obviously felt differently, at that moment Selana still couldnât detect any tone, but it seemed sarcastic no matter how you thought about it.
An irony towards those little tricks attempting to integrate into the opponentâs current role to extract information, but ended in failure.
"Was this how you got them to reveal themselves?"
Fu Qian naturally didnât feel embarrassed, calmly confirming Selanaâs previous methods.
"Yes, they werenât that sensitive about personal information, didnât even bother with a fake name... Do you want to try confirming it?"
Selana admitted without hesitation.
"No need, I donât even know what his real name is."
To her suggestion, Fu Qian responded with an astonishing reply.
Glancing at Brother Shu Lan, Fu Qian directly indicated that he didnât know his name at all, couldnât identify even if he made it up.
...
At first glance, Fu Qianâs response is almost a glaring flaw in his character setup.
Being fellow minions of the Death Overlord, yet not knowing each otherâs names? Who would believe it?
"They really mean nothing to you, donât they..."
Fortunately, Miss Selana is a smart person, far from shallow thinking.
After a moment of silence, she let out an ambiguous chuckle, apparently gaining a deeper understanding of Fu Qianâs emphasized character.
This "Wei," under the patronage of the Death Overlord, was so arrogant as to not bother remembering the names of low-tier minions.
"Thatâs not entirely true, I have had some interactions with them, I just have a bad memory. For instance, I donât know her name either."
To this, Fu Qian pointed to the Tooth Throat Lay Buddhist behind him, stressing that he wasnât that aloof.
Having interacted and still not knowing their names? That seems even more arrogant.
Unfortunately, it didnât go well, Selana did not even respond at that moment.
"Your Honor..."
However, it didnât matter, someone responded.
Mr. Laurie Sr, who had been neglected since entering, seemed finally disturbed from his focused working state, couldnât help but look up at the uninvited Fu Qian.
...
In such a place, the form of address seems a bit improper.
The sudden commotion was undoubtedly startling, but compared to glancing around or seeing Selana entering a faint combat stance, Fu Qianâs attention at that time was on the address used by Mr. Laurie.
It turns out a personâs aura can be affected by their environment.
With his hair and beard all white, Mr. Laurie Sr, once ethereal and godlike, hadnât changed his attire but, with his formal sitting posture at his workstation, had inevitably absorbed a touch of the mundane office atmosphere.
The effect was terrifying, at a glance the venerable elder gave off little of his previous transcendence, instead bringing thoughts of his pensionâand likely not much.
Though he didnât mind his age and used polite titles for visitors, attitude alone isnât enough, such a worldly address is clearly unsuitable for such a high-end business venue.
This alone exposed a professional inadequacy.
"It seems he recognized you..."
At that moment, Selana had a moment of realization, apparently understanding something.
"I thought so too."
Fu Qian nodded.
Indeed, unprofessionalism has its reasons.
The incongruous address used by the old man most likely indicated that the office worker persona had been subtly penetrated.
Itâs no surprise, given heâs the spokesperson for the Greedy Worms; even a reflection of death is stronger than others.
Although, compared to the current situation, that might not necessarily be a good thing.
The balance of life and death is clearly the underlying logic here, once it starts tipping, unchecked, it could lead to the same fate as that "elder" before.
"Interesting..."
Unfortunately, Selana clearly lacked that compassion, upon seeing Fu Qian confirm her words, her meaningful commentary prompted her to step forward, arriving in front of Laurie.
"How should one address this gentleman?"
She even changed her previous onlooker stance, softly asking Laurie by pointing over here, confirming Fu Qianâs identity.
