51. Launching a General Attack
After saying that, the Klein doll took the initiative to cut off contact with the real Klein. After all, she couldn't commit suicide now and had been controlled.
The Klein puppet took the initiative to walk to Ling's side, put her hands on him, and then her body gradually merged with him.
"Please..."
As her voice gradually faded away, Ling felt that the thing in his body that they called "Domination" seemed to grow stronger.
"Don't worry, I will work hard, with your share..."
Ling acted as if he were sad and determined.
Several other puppets looked at each other in bewilderment. They had also been captured by the Fire Moth and were now imprisoned.
I guess the result waiting for them is also the operating table.
With Klein taking the lead, this hesitation did not last long.
They severed their connection with the body and integrated all their authority and evil thoughts into Ling's body.
"Everything...for victory!" Ling stood on the platform and became the new leader of the puppets.
The herd mentality ingrained in their bones prevented them from resisting too much.
After all, in reality, most of them are losers!
Obedience can no longer be eradicated from the depths of their soul.
…
"...Doctor, why did you tie me up?" Klein opened her eyes and looked at Mobius in confusion.
"?!" Mebius ran over immediately.
"Klein...you?"
Although she was a little excited, Mobius did not let her go rashly.
"What's wrong, Doctor?"
Klein was a little confused, but since it was the doctor who tied her up, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Don't you remember anything that happened before?" Mobius asked.
"Huh? What's going on?" Klein looked confused.
Mobius called up the surveillance video from the laboratory.
"This is... me?" Klein's eyes widened slightly, a little bit in disbelief.
"I'm not sure if you are the same Klein now, so I can only tie you up here for now," Mobius explained.
"...Yeah, I can understand that, Doctor."
Klein nodded without making any excuses or requests, but her words revealed her endless trust in Mebius.
"Dr. Mobius, can I have a word with you for a moment?"
Dr. Mei walked in from outside.
The two came to a hidden room.
"Klein has turned back into the original Klein, so you don't have to worry too much for now." Dr. Mei comforted.
"How do you know?" Mebius frowned.
"Actually, I was surprised too. Do you know Eden's brother? You should have had some contact with him."
"I know. The person who was sent to me for treatment three years ago because of the Herrscher of Sentience incident was called Ling, right?" Mobius nodded. She still had some impression of him.
"Well, he is also a Herrscher of Domination, but the difference is that he still retains his own independent consciousness and is not influenced by the Herrscher of Domination," Dr. Mei explained.
"Why? I examined him for a long time, and he was indeed just an ordinary person with amnesia. Although I still don't understand why he could survive in that situation... Are the two related?" Mobius looked at Dr. Mei and expressed her doubts.
"Aponia has some guesses about this. You may not know that Aponia regularly gives him mental examinations. During the examinations, Aponia discovered something very terrifying in his mind."
"That doesn't seem to belong to this dimension. She said it might be some kind of primordial 'sin'. Perhaps it was because of this that he was chosen to become the 'Herrscher of Domination,' or perhaps it was because of this that he remained unaffected."
"As for the resurrection you mentioned, Dr. Mobius... I'm not quite sure about it."
Dr. Mei revealed the information she knew.
Then she explained Ling's current position among the Thousand Herrscher of Domination and their next steps.
"Haha, the biggest traitor is their leader. I really feel powerless to complain." Mobius chuckled.
But...the other party saved Klein's life, so she should find a chance to repay him.
"So now you plan to take advantage of Ling's trick, pretending not to know the existence of 'Theatre of Domination?', and then secretly clean up those Herrschers?" Mobius guessed Dr. Mei's intention.
"For now, this is the best solution, but..." Dr. Mei obviously still had some concerns.
"You think that Ling is not 100% trustworthy, right?" Mobius saw what Dr. Mei was thinking at a glance.
As the leader of the Fire Moths, she must think carefully and not make any mistakes.
Perhaps this was a play directed and performed by the Herrscher of Domination himself, just to gain their trust.
"I will let Aponia stay with Ling as a form of protection... and surveillance for him."
The plan went smoothly. Ling and the Fire Moth worked together from the inside and outside. After only two or eight weeks, most of the one thousand puppets were killed.
Although they also made considerable progress, the gains far outweighed the losses.
"No, we have to change our strategy."
After absorbing the authority and evil thoughts of more than five hundred puppets, Ling seemed to become a little different.
The previously elegant and natural image gradually became a little arrogant.
"Indeed, the Fire Moths have united with governments around the world and have strict defenses in every place. It is now difficult to cause large-scale damage. Dispersed actions will only lead to them being defeated one by one." A puppet echoed.
"So, my decision is... a general attack."
Ling's eyes were burning, ignoring the somewhat shocked expressions of the puppets.
"Target: Herrscher Core!"
"As long as we can seize the Herrscher core, we will have the capital to fight against the MANTIS Warriors!"
"For the past two weeks, our companions have been scattered around the world. A sudden all-out attack now will definitely catch them off guard."
"Currently, the Fire Moth has dispatched most of its MANTIS warriors, dispersing the headquarters' combat power. It will take quite some time to gather them together."
"So this is the perfect time."
"In a week, we will launch the general attack, and I will join everyone in this final battle."
"Success or failure depends on this time."
There was a certain unquestionable tone in Ling's words.
The puppets also thought it made sense, so they began to prepare.
Outside, Ling informed Aponia of this information, and Aponia immediately told Dr. Mei the news.
Now, all the specific arrangements are left to Dr. Mei.
