Chapter 179: The Supervisor’s Back-up Plan
at the same time.
In an inconspicuous farmhouse on the outskirts of Naples.
Diablo is hiding here.
While Li Qing and others launched an attack on the technology team far away in Pisa, he never left Naples.
Because his injuries were too severe, the weight of the flesh tentacles crushed the bones in his chest and back, and the hot magma wrapped around the tentacles burned nearly half of his skin.
Yesterday afternoon he still had some strength left to escape alone while Li Qing was away.
But as time went on, due to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions , Diablo's burns could not be treated in time in the city, and they became seriously infected.
He didn't even have the strength to walk now and couldn't bear the stress of a long journey.
In this situation, going alone to hunt down Li Qing would be seeking death.
After experiencing the severe losses of his personal guards yesterday, Diablo no longer dared to use the tactic of "the gourd baby saving his grandfather" to send his precious remaining combat forces to defeat them one by one.
At the same time, he couldn't even mobilize other departments in the organization to hunt down Li Qing.
Because once the news of Li Qing's attack on the technology team leaks out, the leaders and cadres of the organization will understand:
The traitors were so arrogant that they attacked the vital technology group, and the boss and the guards were not only unable to stop them, but they even had to rely on the power of other departments to eliminate the traitors.
What does this mean?
This means that the boss is no longer powerful, and the invincible Dark Emperor is no longer invincible.
Once those cadres and leaders have such thoughts in their minds, the Passion organization, which relies entirely on Diablo's personal reputation, will be really finished.
no way…
Even when the crucial technology group was under attack, Diablo was forced to remain inactive.
He could only hide in a farmhouse in the countryside of Naples like a stray dog, secretly praying in his heart that the technology team could eliminate the enemies that he and the guards had failed to eliminate, while waiting for the medical staff of the organization to come and heal his injuries.
Because of the traffic jam caused by the volcanic eruption, the medical staff did not arrive in Naples until the next morning.
"Your injury is very serious..."
"What happened?"
The doctor whose name Diablo didn't even bother to remember looked at Diablo with such curiosity...
No, he was asking Tobio.
He is a doctor in the medical team of the logistics department of the Passion organization. He is also a Stand user. His Stand ability is simply to accelerate the regeneration of animal flesh.
Because of this healing Stand ability, Diablo urgently called him over to help him with treatment.
Of course, the doctor had no idea that the young man he had come all the way to treat was the boss of the organization.
He just thought that the seriously injured pink-haired young man in front of him was a member of the boss's personal guard, a new gangster named Tobio.
Therefore, the doctor did not show any fear towards Diablo. Instead, he used his Stand ability to treat Diablo while constantly muttering:
"My ribs and spine were deformed and broken, and I also had severe burns on my body..."
"What on earth got you beaten like this yesterday?"
In order to better disguise himself, Diablo's main personality did not appear on the scene.
But his secondary personality, the weak-tempered Tobio, didn't seem to be very good at dealing with such overly frequent questioning.
"Well..." He scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before he said to the doctor after being reminded by Diablo: "I was hit by a rock ejected from the volcano."
"By a rock?"
The doctor used his Stand ability to speed up Diablo's physical regeneration, and said suspiciously:
"Don't lie to me..."
"All the bones in your chest and back are deforming and shrinking inwards. Hitting with a rock won't have that effect."
“…”
Tobio fell silent.
But the chatterbox doctor couldn't stop:
"Hey, are you new here?"
"I have treated the injuries of several members of the Royal Guard before, but I have never heard of Tobio among them!"
“…”
Tobio remained silent.
The doctor's chatterbox became louder and louder:
"Oh yeah... I see the wanted warrant for Li Qing hasn't been revoked yet, which means they are still alive."
"Someone in the organization speculated that the boss himself might be in Naples."
"If he was really in Naples yesterday, and Li Qing and the others are still alive now... doesn't that mean that the boss failed to deal with those traitors?"
“…”
Tobio said nothing at all.
Unconsciously, without the doctor noticing, his eyes changed quietly.
"Hey, if the boss was really defeated by Li Qing... where would he be now?"
"You are definitely not dead. After all, I was urgently transferred here by his order to treat your injuries."
"It's strange to say..."
"Tobio, although your injuries are serious, they can be cured by recuperating for a period of time."
"But the boss actually gave me an emergency order to come and treat you, saying 'you must be cured as soon as possible', as if the organization can't do without you... Who are you, and why are you valued so much?"
“…”
" Tobio" stood up from the bed.
He did not answer the doctor's series of disturbing questions, but just silently moved his body that had just been healed.
Then he asked in his voice, which had unconsciously changed its tone:
"Is the treatment all over?"
"Well, it's over." The doctor nodded complacently: "You are now as good as new. I guarantee you will be more energetic than before you were injured."
"That's good…"
Tobio closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his yellow-green eyes were already filled with murderous intent:
"The Crimson King!"
The lean and slender body swelled up like a balloon, and a muscular and burly figure instantly appeared beside him.
The next moment, the Crimson King suddenly threw a punch.
The doctor didn't even realize what had just happened before his heart was shattered by the extremely powerful fist.
"You talk too much nonsense."
"besides…"
Diablo wiped the blood off his face expressionlessly and threw the doctor's body at his feet:
"I have never been defeated by Li Qing—"
"Never!"
He raised the sole of his shoe high and stomped hard on the doctor's face, which was still open.
"No, no, no!"
It seemed as if he wanted to vent all the pain and humiliation of being forced to stay in bed all night.
Diablo stepped on the corpse again and again, until the soles of his feet were covered in blood and flesh.
Finally, the email notification sound from the computer next to him saved the poor doctor who was about to die.
"Um?"
"Any news from the technology team?"
Diablo gradually calmed down his emotions, but the depression still lingered in his heart.
During the past night when his injuries had not yet healed, he had been nervously monitoring the situation in the technology team remotely.
The situation was that Li Qing and his companions broke through the ambush with great momentum, and finally entered the technology team's base in the countryside of Pisa not long ago as if there were no obstacles.
This is bad, really bad.
Now the only thing Diablo can count on is the "unsolvable" trap-type stand of the head of the technology team.
pity…
Before Diablo could be happy about his fully healed body, he opened the email with great anticipation and saw the suicide note sent to him by the head of the technology team:
"I'm sorry, my respected boss."
"Li Qing's ability is beyond my imagination. I failed to meet your expectations of me."
"I am seriously injured now, and those traitors will soon attack this base."
"I certainly won't betray you, and I won't utter a word to your enemies."
"But among the enemies there is a Stand user named Abbazi, whose Melancholy Blues can read the memories preserved at the location."
"I am seriously injured and unable to move. I have no way and no time to erase the important information I left here."
"The administrator password will definitely be leaked, and control of the intranet will definitely be taken away by someone."
"So, while I activated the data overwrite, I also quietly set up a secret door program on the intranet server."
"This secret door program should not be discovered for a while. You can use it to do many things, such as remote monitoring, data modification, information interception..."
"Although it can't help you regain control of the intranet, it can at least help you obtain more intelligence to deal with Li Qing."
“…”
“…”
A long series of ellipsis suddenly appeared on the email.
They seem to be telling the sender's extremely complicated feelings:
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…”
“This is all I can do now.”
"When you receive this email, I must have already taken my own life."
"I have never betrayed my loyalty to you and the organization. I hope you...you can spare my family after my death."
"My wife, my daughter..."
"I hope... they can live freely in the future."
"——Technology Team Leader, your loyal servant, Anzo Angelo."
Diablo finished reading this suicide note.
Facing the tearful plea of his loyal subordinate, he could not help but clench his fists tightly, and then...
He slammed the table hard:
"Waste! This waste!"
"You can't even defend your own base camp, and you still want to bargain with me with this kind of nonsense that is cheaper than toilet paper?"
"Asshole—"
"Just wait to be reunited with your family in hell!"
When Diablo thought that the technology team had been completely conquered and the control of the organization's intranet had been taken away by Li Qing, he wanted to tear everything in front of him into pieces.
This was a humiliation he had never experienced before, and it made him angrier than ever before.
What's worse is that there is absolutely no place to vent this anger.
Now he is just like those weaklings he despised in the past. They can’t change anything, but they still like to yell all the time.
"No, calm down, stay calm... I haven't lost yet... Not yet."
"My wounds have healed now. If it happens again, Li Qing will definitely be the one to die!"
Diablo let out a long sigh of relief.
He forced himself to calm down and sat back in front of the computer.
Then, Diablo opened the backdoor program that the supervisor left for him before his death:
"Then let me see what Li Qing and the others are doing now."
