Foundation Exusiai, Containment Breach!

What pained Xiao Huasheng was that in just this short while, her energy, which had been at 91%, had dropped to around 40% again.

Her total energy was far too low. It was riding a roller coaster here.

Angela's voice rang out as well.

[Successfully added one temporary employee. Daily base energy consumption: 20 units. Keep it up, Manager. We finally have manpower.]

Then Xiao Huasheng saw a line of small text.

[The Plague Doctor is heading to One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds to work...]

[Result: Good]

[Energy production increased.]

As the Plague Doctor confessed the sins he had once committed to One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds,

Xiao Huasheng watched helplessly as her energy rose again.

It shot straight from 40% to 110%. That extra 10% would gradually disappear, because it was excess energy.

Angela would naturally use that portion to expand capacity.

Angela was a very busy woman now. She had to conduct research, command everything in Lobotomy Corporation, and stop that old bag of bones from running around.

No wonder she needed 91% of her brainpower.

Once she realized that energy was not a problem for the time being,

Xiao Huasheng withdrew her wings of light, and her halo returned to its normal brightness.

She looked behind the door. The D-Class personnel behind it had not been illuminated by the light, yet he seemed to have fallen into some kind of mind-controlled state.

With tears streaming down his face, he said,

"If God truly exists, please take me away."

As a materialist, Xiao Huasheng found this rather difficult to understand.

"Hey, wake up."

Xiao Huasheng patted the tear-streaked D-Class personnel's cheek, but all she got in return was an even more sorrowful cry.

"Why is this reality so cruel?! Why must we experience the end of the world?! Why does humanity bear this original sin?!"

Control Department Director! You Really Need to Get Under Control!

He seemed to have been through some things?

But that had nothing to do with Xiao Huasheng.

He was just too annoying like this.

Without another word, Xiao Huasheng gave him a slap with a smack.

As the slap landed,

the D-Class personnel before her visibly came to his senses.

He froze for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Your light... why did it have such an effect? The restrictions on my memories were broken."

"Alright, alright. So you remembered. Hurry up and tell me about your situation."

But the angel still said it impatiently.

She had absolutely no interest in learning about some tragic drama.

She only wanted to get out of here and settle permanently on Terra.

The D-Class personnel looked at her, opened his mouth, then pressed his lips together in obvious conflict.

After recovering his past memories, explaining everything about human society to Xiao Huasheng seemed to have stirred up some inner conflict within him.

In the end, he let out a soft sigh.

The past was the past. The present was the present.

The way his colleagues had treated him, honestly...

Had he not long since lost any sense of responsibility toward that class?

As an ordinary person, he only wanted to survive.

"Then I'll tell you about the organization most relevant to you, Angel."

His voice suddenly became remarkably calm, completely lacking the restless feeling from before.

It was as though he had become a different person.

The D-Class personnel continued calmly.

"I don't really understand your situation, but someone must have concealed it. The Horizon Initiative should originally have come to recruit you."

What kind of organization was that?

It sounded like some kind of tourism group.

Xiao Huasheng asked in surprise.

"The Horizon Initiative?"

"That's right. A large Catholic organization. Real angels exist there, and it is an extremely powerful organization. It is an ally of our Foundation."

"That sounds kind of strange."

"Angels like you would normally be recruited very quickly, but I don't know what happened. They still haven't arrived."

The D-Class personnel explained.

She nodded lightly. She truly had no impression of this Horizon Initiative whatsoever.

"Forget it. Who cares?"

She was going to run away anyway.

She did not care in the slightest about this so-called Horizon Initiative.

"Tell me more about the entities on the way."

Xiao Huasheng led the D-Class personnel toward the Terra portal, strolling leisurely.

The D-Class personnel also quickly and concisely spilled everything he knew.

His knowledge reserve was simply even greater than old man SCP-682's.

Xiao Huasheng suspected that she might have abducted some big shot.

"So this facility is holding so many strange entities?"

"What's your name? Mine is Xiao Huasheng. I'm the manager of Lobotomy Corporation."

The D-Class personnel replied politely, "Hello, Manager. There's one more thing. My name is already dead. It no longer belongs to me. Please give me a new one."

"A new name? You're really strange. Based on what you said, your name was probably covered by all sorts of bizarre memetics too, right? You can't even mention it? Fine, I'll give you one."

Very quickly, a familiar name popped into Xiao Huasheng's mind.

"Then how about I call you Malkuth from now on? From now on, you'll be the Control Department Director!"

"What kind of company is Lobotomy Corporation? You're making me a director as soon as I arrive?"

"It's ten million times better than the Foundation!" Xiao Huasheng declared firmly to the Malkuth before her, then added, "Since you're my director now, I need to give you a pet name too. I'll call you Makuku!"

"Isn't it Malkuth?" Makuku asked, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

"A pet name! The pet name is Makuku."

"Alright, Manager."

Makuku, dressed in an orange D-Class uniform, quickly accepted the arrangement.

Then he continued explaining the affairs of this world.

After listening along the way, Xiao Huasheng could only feel that the world was truly vast and full of wonders. These entities were even more marvelous.

Moreover, it seemed that the files had divided them into danger ratings?

"Then do you know what my rating is?"

Xiao Huasheng was genuinely very curious about that question.

No matter how she looked at it, it was the same.

Makuku hesitated for a moment and carefully recalled Xiao Huasheng's danger rating.

"I remember that your previous rating, Manager, was the highest danger classification: Keter."

Those words left Xiao Huasheng rather bewildered. As though she had not heard clearly, she said,

"What? I'm Keter? I'm that dangerous? Didn't I fail to kill Entity 096?"

"Any entity possessing intelligence is generally placed within that range."

"I understand. Thank you for telling me so much."

Makuku looked a little surprised. Scratching the back of his head, he said softly, "As long as you don't use me halfway and then kick me out."

Clearly, he was still deeply troubled by the Foundation's betrayal.

After leading Makuku toward the elevator for a while, Makuku suddenly spoke up.

"Entity 096 is ahead. Be careful."

She looked toward the end of the corridor in surprise, but saw and sensed nothing.

There was only a corridor lit by flickering, dim red light.

That was strange. Logically, Xiao Huasheng's perception should have been much stronger than this guy's.

He clearly had not seen anything, yet he still knew?

Could it be a walkthrough?

Xiao Huasheng was deeply shocked.

She now mostly believed that Makuku possessed the ability to reload saves.

"Then be careful. Don't look at his face."

Xiao Huasheng warned Makuku, and Makuku nodded lightly with a smile.

"I don't want to die."

"As long as you have that mindset."

Xiao Huasheng smiled faintly as well and led Makuku forward.

Both sides of the corridor were littered with blackened guard corpses, or human tissue smeared across the walls in pools of bloody pulp.

Just looking at it beneath the dim red light was deeply unpleasant.

"There really is something..."

Nauseating about it.

"The marks on these bodies don't look like Entity 096's work. They seem more like they were caused by another entity. If Entity 096 had done it, it would have torn people apart alive and scattered their organs everywhere."

"That description is kind of scary."

Xiao Huasheng's mouth twitched. She was actually a little afraid.

Fighting monsters was fine. Even if she beat them until blood and flesh flew everywhere, she would not feel much about it.

But when facing humans, there was still some barrier in her heart.

It had been the same when she beat up the Reunion Movement last time. It was always somewhat unsettling.

If she could avoid killing people, she would try her best not to kill them.

Makuku's body stiffened rapidly, his muscles and mind tensing together. "Entity 096 is around the corner ahead. Its face is pointed in our direction."

That clearly?

Xiao Huasheng looked at Makuku. How many times had he died to become this familiar with it?
