My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Chapter 437: Do you know how starfish feed?

"Well then, the show is about to begin."

In a luxurious office somewhere within the zoo's base, Xia Qing slowly rose, controlling another body.

His soul essence has long surpassed that of humans, and controlling multiple bodies simultaneously is effortless for him.

If you haven't been trained, you might feel uncomfortable at first.

However, Xia Qing had already overcome such minor problems. Picking up the walkie-talkie beside her, Xia Qing spoke in a calm and even tone:

"Notify the elite officers in the base to come to conference room number five."

After he gave the order, the person on the other end of the communicator quickly replied, "Understood, I'll go prepare right away."

The assistant on the other end of the communicator began to quickly issue notifications, while Xia Qing, distracted, manipulated two bodies to begin enacting the plot according to her imagined steps.

When he met the Zoo Boss as Snake before, he had already forcibly taken over the Boss's body using his psychic abilities.

Xia Qing had no intention of showing any mercy to such a soul whose hands were already stained with blood and who had already succumbed to darkness.

After getting up and leaving the flashy but impractical office, Xia Qing went to the nearest conference room, number five.

Meanwhile, he continued to guide the illusion formed by the power of combination through the zoo's base, and the path he was leading puzzled Kaito Kuroba:

"Shouldn't we go and check the inside of those rooms?"

Kaito Kuroba voiced his doubts, since in his view, the two of them had simply been moving forward and hadn't done anything reconnaissance.

"No need for that. My mental energy has already scanned the room while I was moving. Once we've toured the organization, our surveillance operation will be pretty much complete."

Xia Qing explained, and Kuroba Kaito nodded to indicate that he understood.

Even if you don't actually know anything, you still have to appear to know everything on the surface.

After all, a phantom thief can never let others know what his trump card is.

Hearing Kaito Kuroba's reply, Xia Qing didn't say anything more and continued to maintain her aloof demeanor.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the zoo boss, whose soul had been extracted and controlled by him, nodded as he looked at the elite officers whose contracts had expired.

"Very good, it seems everyone has arrived."

There are some things I need to inform you all about, namely, the targets that the organization will be assassinating at all costs.

This individual possesses extremely dangerous combat capabilities and poses a significant threat to our organization.

Sitting in the head chair, Xia Qing spoke these words, and upon hearing them, a high-ranking official frowned: "A great threat to the organization?"

"Brother Ito, times have changed. In this day and age, what good is individual strength? You're saying that even if someone is strong, they can't dodge bullets... no, I mean, they can't dodge RPGs, can they?"

Another high-ranking official suddenly changed his tune halfway through his speech, as he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have actually seen someone who could dodge bullets before.

Xia Qing pretended to laugh out loud when he heard their words, which displeased the people present.

What's the meaning of your sudden mockery? It makes us seem like we're ignorant.

Unlike a winery, the zoo is not ruled by a single boss. In addition to the boss, there are several other elite executives who maintain the organization's operation.

"I never expected this. From the very beginning, I suspected the wrong people. The ones who betrayed the organization were not you bunch of good-for-nothings."

Such foolish words, spoken with such sincerity, seem utterly incongruous with someone attempting to betray the organization.

Xia Qing shook her head and said in a disappointed tone, at which moment, a scarlet light gradually appeared in the pupils of the BOSS, whose surname was Ito, in the eyes of outsiders.

"Ito, what are you trying to do?"

What is betrayal?

A commotion arose from below, and Xia Qing recalled what Xilin looked like.

A wild smile curved at the corners of her lips. Xia Qing stood up from her chair, her brows furrowed, and looked at everyone present with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

Action director, Herrscher of the Void.

After doing all this, Xia Qing said in a contemptuous tone:

"I was originally planning to squeeze every last drop of value out of you, but alas..."

You are useless trash, and I have given you so many opportunities to come into contact with that world.

It's a pity that you bunch of fools only knew how to enjoy yourselves and not a single one of you took advantage of the situation. This result really disappoints me.

Now that things have come to this, you weren't even aware that a member of the organization, who held a key position, had chosen to betray us. I'm starting to wonder if it was a mistake to let you join the organization.

Xia Qing's tone was arrogant and unrestrained, and upon hearing his words, many elite cadres felt a surge of anger and slammed their fists on the table.

In theory, if these elite cadres agree on a matter, they may even have the right to bypass the boss.

How dare they talk to us like that? Did Ito, who was pushed into that position, get too arrogant back then?

The reactions of the people present were varied, but Xia Qing said expressionlessly, "Everyone, each member of our organization has their own code name."

Of these code names... I don't think I ever chose one back then, right?

"Since things have come to this point, if I had to choose a code name, I would choose 'Starfish.'"

As Xia Qing spoke, another phantom he controlled was already approaching the conference hall with Kuroba Kaito.

In the conference room, seeing many people who were furious, Dr. Xia Qing said, "Everyone, do you know how starfish feed?"

Looking at everyone in the conference room, a shadow began to appear behind Xia Qing.

The giant starfish formed by the shadows split open, and the cracked surface of the starfish began to devour everything. The expressions of the high-ranking officials in the meeting changed, but they were powerless to reverse the situation.

In the current situation, they are of no use whatsoever. In fact, the fact that the boss used an ability that he had never used before has already led many of them to give up.

There's no hope. Just wait to die. Goodbye.

The difference in strength between the two sides is simply too great.

The enormous starfish, whose size was clearly unrealistic, burst the entire conference room, with part of its body already extending beyond the conference room and onto the hard surface of the corridor.

"Oh, what's going on?"

Looking at the scene before him, Kaito Kuroba felt a little panicked. The scene that suddenly appeared before his arrival almost made him think it was a Persona attack.

Chapter 438: The zoo's leader is Patrick Star, the infamous blind fish-eating master of the neighborhood.

"Why not ask the magical conch shell?"

Seeing Kaito Kuroba's puzzled look, Xia Qing shrugged and said, then, looking at the speechless Kaito, he added:

"This organization, which is generally referred to as the Zoo, is good at what it does, and our world has never been a world where individuals are weak in combat."

If our organization excels at human modification combined with specially designed combat suits to carry out offensive tactics, then this organization called Zoo must excel at animal modification.

Those who are truly high-ranking members of this organization should have had some contact with it, and as far as I know, the seafood faction seems to be in the lead among the three major factions in this organization.

The current leader of this organization is the head of the seafood faction, one of its three major factions, and a mastermind whose transformation focus is on starfish.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba frowned, realizing that this organization was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Do you know the true identity of that mastermind?

Hearing this, Xia Qing nodded: "The organization's intelligence gathering capabilities far exceed your imagination."

As far as I know, that high-IQ criminal and mastermind whose IQ is ridiculously high and who was transformed into a starfish is actually named Patrick Star.

In the underworld, this mastermind is known as the Blind Fish Eater, a title that reveals what Patrick Star, the criminal genius, excels at.

After a moment's thought, Kaito Kuroba said uncertainly, "Could it be that he was mentally disturbed and...feigning ignorance?"

The two had already lowered their voices during their conversation, and in Kuroba Kaito's mind at that moment, no one's hearing could reach such a terrifying level.

The two still had a long way to go to reach the conference room, and the organization was far from quiet; there seemed to be other people arguing nearby.

Just as Kaito Kuroba realized that his voice couldn't be detected, the other Reincarnators fell silent.

"The Lord of Blind Fools... Patrick Star?"

Slowly uttering the name, Pineapple's face showed an expression of utter dismay.

"This world is truly insane, absolutely insane. My sanity... is already at rock bottom."

With blank stares, Su Qing said, "Why do I always seem to encounter worlds where fate takes such an absurd turn?"

As the monitors grew suspicious, the monitor who was monitoring the monitors rubbed his temples in annoyance.

"This world really always manages to give me unexpected surprises."

"The Lord of Blind Fools... Ha, daring to use that title, the owner of that zoo must be quite capable."

The craftsman spoke with an air of seeking only defeat, while his food, as the watcher of the watchers, was being watched by a watcher on an even higher level.

Wendy, who was monitoring the monitor, twitched her lips speechlessly: "Don't give people nicknames randomly, and this nickname is obviously low-class no matter how you look at it."

Even the boss of the zoo organization is better than this zoo owner. If you didn't know better, you'd think this zoo owner was the most powerful animal in the zoo or the zoo director.

Wendy couldn't suppress her urge to complain, while the zoo owner made no attempt to hide his actions.

The scene of starfish slaughtering humans unfolded before everyone's eyes. Due to the speed, before Kaito could react, all he could see were dead bodies.

Upon witnessing this scene, Kaito Kuroba almost vomited, and Xia Qing, who was standing next to him, was in a similar state.

I'd better not use that kind of fighting style of binding and whipping with long tentacles in the future; it's really disgusting.

However, Xia Qing felt no remorse for those villains who remained in this world, who only knew how to eat rice and were considered wicked. He had become quite adept at taking lives.

Xia Qing's own alignment is not lawful good. Although she essentially considers herself to be a good soul at heart, her alignment in the previous alignment test was closer to chaotic neutral.

Speaking of which... what exactly is my race now? A soul? A ghost? An outer god?

“A spirit, and a rather rare one at that, in a time when even the ninth concept had not been crossed, the system used is the crown system of spirits.”

Hearing this from the system, Xia Qing became somewhat interested. She pressed the malfunctioning driver on the inserted Kronos cassette, causing time to stop around her, and asked curiously:

"The Crown System? You didn't mention that to me before."

Faced with Xia Qing's doubts, the system casually answered: "It seems to be the most popular system in our boundary with a fairly high upper limit. Generally, those who switch to the Crown System start with the seventh concept."

It is quite rare for the ninth concept to directly begin the transformation. Back then, in order to transform you so that you could withstand the power of the Outer God, I consumed a lot of the source points I absorbed from the boundary.

Speaking of which... it seems you owe me a huge debt, and it doesn't look like you can repay it. So... host, why don't you repay it with your body?

Ahem, just kidding. You're still a long way from the coronation of the Crown System. Just continue to receive the power of the Ancient Immortals as before.
