" Sister Fish, but..."
"No buts! Exercise isn't something you can do on a whim; it requires consistency! Keep going!"
Sister Fish gave him no chance to argue, pointing her spear at him and making him continue doing push-ups.
Aidan was on the verge of tears, and could only look at Hela with deep regret.
"Sorry, boss, I need to keep training. I hope you didn't find this amusing."
As he spoke, he lay down on the ground again and began doing push-ups, his hands trembling.
"It's okay, more exercise is good."
Hela sat down on the sofa with her coffee, watched Aidan exercise, and then took a small sip.
"I don't like it."
Hela then placed the coffee on the table.
Hela took out her phone and glanced at Diyana's contact information. Her eyes slowly became vacant, and she began to stare blankly.
More accurately, it is about mobilizing mental energy to control one's clone.
Inside the ventilation duct of Godslaying Technology Company.
A piece of flesh the size of half a fist was moving at an incredible speed inside the ventilation duct wall.
This is already the second day that this lump of flesh and blood has been in this company.
In two days, Hela explored almost the entire ventilation duct of the Godslaying Technology Company.
Although many ventilation openings are not connected, there are still large areas she cannot access.
However, it's not a big deal; at least Hela has a complete understanding of most of the company's internal structure.
However, this only provides an understanding of the earth's structure, and only a partial one at that.
Hela doesn't yet know about places like the [ Battle Armor ] storage locations or other highly confidential areas.
The flesh and blood slowly crawled to a vent, and an eye grew out from it, looking down.
In the brightly lit corridor, several people in suits walked by from time to time.
Each of them also had a different colored name tag hanging on their body.
According to Hela's analysis, the colors of these name tags were likely based on the employees' ranks.
Like the [ Battle Armor ] pilot Diyana we met before, her name tag in her pocket was black.
Hela estimated that it must be the highest-level work badge.
These work badges are most likely used to enter certain specific areas, just like access cards.
Hela then ran along the ventilation duct to other vents to observe.
She noticed that the further inside the company she went, and the more important the area, the darker the color of the employees' name tags became.
People with lighter-colored name tags are often stopped at certain doors.
Hela understood: the darker the nameplate, the higher the rank it represented.
The [ Battle Armor ] pilot undoubtedly holds the highest position in the company, hence the color black.
Of the cards discovered so far, the colors, from darkest to lightest, are:
Black, purple, red, orange, green, and white.
White is mostly used for things like sweepers; it makes little difference whether it's there or not.
Of those, only the black one is known to be able to enter the Battle Armor form, but it's unknown whether the purple one can.
Hela cautiously observed from the ventilation duct. She decided to first assassinate an employee Wusheng, then impersonate him and infiltrate the company.
Every now and then, one or two people would walk past under the ventilation shaft in the corridor, but Hela did not rush to make a move.
Because their work badges are of such a low level; Hela would need at least a purple or red one.
After Hela waited for nearly three hours, an employee with a red name tag around his neck finally appeared in Hela sight.
The employee looked quite young, but his full beard made him appear more mature.
He was looking down at the documents, completely unaware of the impending danger.
As he passed under the ventilation duct, a drop of something fell from above and landed on his neck.
The strange sensation made the employee shudder.
He touched his neck, but found nothing behind it.
He simply assumed it was his imagination, shrugged, and continued with his work.
Back in his office, the man drank a cup of coffee and began his busy work.
He worked until it started to get dark before he yawned and stopped.
"So tired..." He stood up, stretched his limbs, and took a step to leave.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
As soon as I opened it, my stomach started growling, followed by a sharp pain.
The man screamed "Tear!" and clutched his stomach as he ran towards the toilet.
However, just as he stepped into the bathroom and was about to turn on the toilet, a sudden, excruciating pain erupted in his abdomen.
"Ah--!"
The man screamed in pain, clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground.
The intense pain was so severe that he couldn't even struggle to move.
The feeling is like a ferocious beast gnawing at your internal organs inside your stomach.
"Help... help me! Help..."
The man, sweating profusely, pounded on the toilet door with all his might and cried for help.
The banging grew weaker and weaker, and the man's cries for help became almost inaudible.
"Save..."
The last sound escaped from his throat, and then there was no more sound.
The instant he died, a fleshy tentacle emerged from his mouth.
Then the tentacles slowly transformed into a giant mouth that swallowed the man whole.
The man's corpse was swallowed and then quickly digested, turning into nutrients.
A large mass of flesh and blood inside the toilet slowly wriggled into the shape of a person, and then it actually turned into the likeness of that man.
Even their suits were exactly the same.
Hela looked at the body, then looked down and saw the red work badge lying on the ground.
He bent down, picked it up, and examined it closely.
The body's original name was Li Ao, and he was a technician in charge of the company's security system.
That sounds pretty impressive, but Hela wouldn't do something like that.
Knock knock knock!
Is anyone inside? Do you need any help?
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
Hela hung her work badge around her neck and calmly opened the toilet door.
The person I met was an elderly man in a cleaning uniform who looked somewhat nervous.
Hela glanced at his name tag; it was green, so he must be the cleaning team leader.
"Sir, are you alright?"
When the elderly cleaner saw that Hela was unharmed, his tone was no longer as tense as before.
Hela shook her head slightly. "It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."
"Then, do you want to go to the infirmary?"
The old man looked very worried about Hela, his eyes full of ingratiating intent.
Hela shook her head again and walked outside.
"It's just a minor issue, no need to worry."
But just as he was about to leave the restroom, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the cleaning lady.
Do you know where the [ Battle Armor ] storage room is?
The elderly cleaner paused for a moment, and although she didn't understand what he was going to do, she still pointed him in the right direction.
After all, he had cleaned almost the entire building himself, and having lived there for most of his life, he naturally knew where it was.
"Okay, thank you."
Hela nodded slightly in thanks and walked in the direction the old man had pointed.
