≡ Table of Contents

Hundreds of pigs were running freely under the blue sky.

They gained freedom and a new life, and escaped the fate of being captive and enslaved.

These big guys frolicking on the grass following their instincts are still pigs, but they don't look like pigs.

Thomas stared at the scene blankly, and only came to his senses after a moment of immersion.

He raised his hands slightly to Li Qing to show his submission, and then said very sincerely:

"Li Qing, I will help you fight against the organization and the boss."

"But, about your situation..."

Thomas hesitated.

He looked at Li Qing's body, which looked like an ordinary pig, strangely, with complicated eyes:

Li Qing indirectly helped him escape from the sea of suffering, but he was unable to help Li Qing, who had already been hit, recover.

"Don't worry."

Li Qing said secretly in his heart.

[Pig Factory] had disappeared for a moment, and the transformation effect he was maintaining on his body was automatically lifted as time passed.

Then, in Thomas's astonished eyes, his bloated and fat pig body flashed like a phantom, and turned back into his original human body in an instant.

"Finally it's back..."

Li Qing moved his flexible hands and feet that had transformed back into a human, his face full of sighs and lamentations of "being reborn as a human being".

Then, before Thomas could recover from his shock, Li Qing, who had adjusted himself back to his original form, clenched his fists and shot a positioning light ball of Sky Sound Wave towards Thomas a few meters away.

Thomas didn't dodge, and he didn't have time to dodge.

The ball of light was imprinted directly on his cheek, leaving a glowing positioning mark on his forehead.

Only then did the caution and vigilance in Li Qing's cloudy pupils relax a little:

"Now take me to your supervisor."

"I hope what you just said is true, otherwise, I will immediately smash your head with the echo shot."

"clear."

With a fatal mark branded on his head, Thomas seemed relaxed.

He knew that this was a safety device, and with this safety device in place, both parties could quickly trust each other.

"Come with me."

Thomas immediately turned around and took Li Qing to the small building that stood alone on the grass.

This unremarkable small building is the real base of the Science and Technology Intelligence Group.

The two walked all the way to the door of the small building and successfully met up with Giorno and his companions, who had just been delayed by a group of desperate soldiers and still didn't quite understand the change in the situation.

Giorno and the others were very curious about what Li Qing had just experienced.

But now the life or death of the head of the technology team is still unknown, and the battle is not over yet, so they can't waste any more time chatting here.

So Li Qing simply explained to his companions the situation of Thomas' surrender, and then took his companions and followed Thomas into the small building.

"The supervisor is in the innermost room."

"Don't worry, he should have been seriously injured."

"The rest of the group are ordinary enslaved technicians. They will never attack us."

Thomas, Li Qing and others opened the secret door on the wall of the small building and walked through the dark and narrow corridor.

Finally, they walked into an office located at the deepest part of the building.

When I pushed open the door, what came into view were computer screens covering almost half of the wall, and a stuffy air with a strong smell of blood blew in my face.

The head of the technology team was sitting in front of the computer screens at this moment, with blood all over his body.

The painful groan, the heavy breathing, and the increasingly weak heartbeat were all clearly heard in Li Qing's ears.

This guy is dying.

But he didn't even care about his own serious injuries, or Li Qing and others who pushed the door open behind him. He just sat in front of the computer desk stained with blood, gritting his teeth, typing on the keyboard with his last bit of strength.

"What are you doing?!"

Thomas's face changed.

Others may not be able to react, but Thomas, who is also a technician, knows how powerful the supervisor is:

Putting aside the ability of a stand-in, as long as the supervisor is given a computer and an Internet cable, he can do many things that will cause you a headache.

And now it was clear that the supervisor was doing something on the computer.

“Stop!”

Without saying a word, Thomas pulled out a thick No. 12 bullet from his waist and used his Stand ability to throw it hard at the supervisor.

The thick bullet quickly hit the supervisor's head with incredible accuracy.

The supervisor, who was already exhausted due to serious injuries, tilted his head and staggered, and collapsed back into the chair in great pain.

But even so, he still gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and tapped on the keyboard with his last bit of strength.

Click!

A crisp sound of keyboard rebound was heard.

A long progress bar suddenly appeared on the computer with the progress stuck at 0%, and the progress bar displayed "Data overwriting... Preparing..."

"you…"

Thomas's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "Are you trying to destroy the entire intranet system?!"

"Oh, it's Thomas."

The supervisor turned his head with difficulty and looked at his former subordinate with a pale .

He was not surprised at Thomas's betrayal at this time.

Because he knew very well that with the original operation mode of the technology team, where people worked like 007 and then quit to work in the pigsty, once the deterrence and control of the "Pig Factory" no longer continued, those pigs that had already been exploited to the limit would definitely rise up at the first opportunity.

“Cough cough cough…”

The supervisor coughed up a mouthful of black blood with difficulty, and his face looked increasingly pale.

But even so, there was no trace of fear or begging in his eyes when he looked at Li Qing and others, as if he didn't want to continue living in this world:

"Lee Sin, Bucciarati..."

"I know why you came here. You want to directly control the organization's internal network through the technology team and indirectly achieve the goal of seizing power."

"This is a good idea. No one has ever dared to do this before, and no one has been able to set foot here safely."

The supervisor glanced at the people present with his gradually blurry eyes, and his tone was full of the calmness of a dying man:

"But no matter what, I will never betray my boss."

"Let's do it——"

"The data on the server is about to be permanently overwritten."

"It's useless for you to keep me here. Even if I can't stand the torture and tell you the administrator password, the organization's intranet will no longer exist by then."

"you?!"

Li Qing understood what the head of the technology group meant.

He didn't expect this guy's attitude to be so resolute.

The supervisor never thought of surrendering, and in order to prevent himself from surrendering due to unbearable pain, he even destroyed all the data stored on the intranet server.

He left no way out for himself and was determined to die for Diablo.

"what to do?"

Li Qing had a headache:

If this intranet system were to be destroyed inexplicably, all their blood and sweat along the way would be in vain.

He had no choice but to turn around and ask Thomas, the only professional on his side:

"Thomas, is there any way to stop him now?"

"Data coverage hasn't officially started yet. We should have half a minute."

Thomas took a closer look at the empty progress bar on the screen and said solemnly:

"It's still possible to shut down the process - but that would require the supervisor's administrator password."

"The highest authority of the technology group system has always been controlled by the supervisor alone. Without his administrator password, there is no way I can stop what is happening now."

"And... even if the intranet system exists safely, without the supervisor's administrator password, we have no way of gaining administrative privileges to control the organization's intranet, let alone accessing top-secret information related to the boss's account."

He swallowed nervously, cold sweat on his forehead.

The supervisor was determined to die, and Thomas couldn't figure out how to get someone who didn't want to live to reveal information within half a minute.

"director."

Thomas had no choice.

Like all office workers who encounter bad bosses in the workplace, he is definitely the person in the world who wants to kill his supervisor the most right now.

For the sake of his future development and personal safety, Thomas, who had already officially betrayed the organization, tried to suppress his disgust for this damned boss and instead advised the supervisor in a kind voice:

"Why did you have to do this?"

"The boss hasn't shown up yet. It's obvious that he is no longer able to take care of us!"

"He is no longer the invincible dark emperor. Why are you working so hard for him?"

Thomas' words were sincere and true.

A supervisor is, after all, just an employee. It would be fine if he just helps the boss exploit low-level employees like a lackey, but now that the boss himself can't take care of himself, why should he risk his life for this job?

This is the truth, but the supervisor remains unmoved.

“Ahem…”

He coughed up blood foam with difficulty and said weakly:

"You don't understand, Thomas."

"Some things... are more important to me than life."

"good!"

Thomas was silent and his companions were still hesitating.

But Li Qing suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the supervisor by the throat:

"Since you are so stubborn, I will fulfill your loyalty!"

Click!

At the critical moment when the supervisor was about to die from excessive bleeding, Li Qing crushed his throat in time.

The supervisor stopped breathing instantly and closed his eyes completely.
