Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

At the bottom of the world, there flows a never-ending spiritual river. The spirits and consciousness of all living and dead people converge here and become this river.

In the lobotomy worldview, humans possess a technology that transcends magic - the Singularity.

The Singularity Technology of Lobotomy Corporation is "Mind Manifestation". Its function is not to extract energy from the abnormal body, but to directly create the abnormal body.

When Cogito, an entity extracted from the subconscious, is injected into a human body, it will gradually tear apart the human will, expose the inner heart in a true sense, and transform it into a "well".

Then use this as a channel to salvage in the original river/ocean of consciousness, extracting emotions and concepts from the human subconscious. (See the lobe setting collection)

Finally, the body, mind, and even existence of the injector will be transformed into the real shell of the extract, and the entity born from this will be the Abnormality.

The huge emotions generated in the process of tearing up one's will and exposing one's inner heart will be transformed into clean energy that can be refined.

In Hollow Knight, dreams are a world above reality, an eternal space between the body and the soul.

The Knight's Dream Nail is a divine weapon created by the Moth Tribe, which controls the essence of dreams. It can not only read thoughts, but also cut through the veil of reality, allowing the holder to enter the eternal space above reality - dreams.

Dreams and the original river/ocean both come from the spirit and consciousness, and then become a realm of their own, transcending reality. Like twins.

If we use the Dream Nail to hit EGO and cut open the real shell of the abnormality, what wonderful scene will appear?

Shen Yu became more and more curious, so he randomly picked an employee and asked him to be in charge of the office.

After giving the order, Shen Yu pinched the little knight's chubby hand and found that it was not the strange touch as he had imagined, but as soft as cotton.

After careful observation, Shen Yu discovered that there was an inexplicable connection between himself and the little knight, and he could use it to control the other party's actions.

Shen Yu also checked the amulet equipped by the little knight:

Solid Strength (increases the attack power of the Bone Nail), Quick Slash (increases attack speed), Mark of Pride (increases attack distance), Glory of the Bone Nail Master (accelerates the charging of "Sword Skills"), Dream Dancer (accelerates the charging of "Dream Nail").

Well, my favorite style is the reckless man style.

During the waiting time, Shen Yu first tried to see if his current authority was enough to deprive Angela of the monitoring and scheduling rights. The result was of course no.

Then, we can only use the original method.

Shen Yu concentrated his attention on touching the link with the little knight, and suddenly found that his perspective had changed to a third-person perspective centered on the little knight.

Fortunately, it is not the horizontal perspective in the game, that is really hard to imagine. Could it be a dimensionality reduction attack in advance?

Shen Yu controlled the little knight to jump off himself and move around for a while. When he got used to the control of this perspective, the "little knight" looked up at the camera in the upper right corner.

Then the little knight leaped onto the wall, and at the same time, his fishhook-like mantis claws pierced out from his round hands and feet, clinging firmly to the wall, using the force to jump upwards.

After approaching the camera, Shen Yu controlled the little knight to jump and come to the bottom of the camera.

Then the Knight's shadow cloak disintegrated into tentacles of the abyss and scattered. The mask was covered by the void, from which a pale gaze peeked out. A mixture of soul and void spit out from the mouth, turning into countless howling ghosts in black and white. - Spell: Abyss Scream (picture)

Then the little knight landed steadily. With the help of the third person perspective, Shen Yu clearly saw the tragic scene within the attack range.

The camera had long since melted away, leaving a large hole in the originally clean and smooth wall, with a large number of uneven holes inside. The blue lines nearby were dim, as if they had lost their lives.

Shen Yu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel surprised.

That shouldn't be the case. Although the Knight's Shadow spell has higher damage, it doesn't have the ablative effect.

Furthermore, Lobotomy Corporation is a product extracted from someone's consciousness by injecting Cogito into them. In a sense, it is a large-scale abnormality.

A facility that even the god-like ALEPH-class Abnormalities could not completely break through was dissolved so easily.

Could it be that the knight accidentally traveled through time after being upgraded, encountered a bug, and gained some of the attributes of the Void God?

Thinking of this, Shen Yu suddenly felt happy. Since the void can erode the company, doesn't this mean that he can just pick up the bucket and run away?

No, no. Shen Yu frowned.

The headquarters of Lobotomy Corporation is somewhere unknown deep underground. Judging from the ending CG, it is at least several thousand meters above the ground. Even if one digs open the company, one will never be able to climb up in one's lifetime.

From this point of view, the only option is to get the true ending, then wait for the company to reach the surface, smash the wall and run away.

Shen Yu glanced at the screen and couldn't help feeling a headache.

But I am an obsessive-compulsive manager who pursues the survival of all employees and achieving all S-level evaluations. How many times will I have to restart the game?

…………

Terry is an ordinary Level 2 employee in the Control Department, who is dreaming of getting rid of the low-level employees and enjoying delicious juicy steaks in the cafeteria.

But just now, his beautiful dream was shattered by the electric current coming from his arm. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at his watch, but was instantly frightened by the message on it and broke out in a cold sweat.

The supervisor’s call!

If it was when he first joined the company, he might be happy, but now he is only worried and afraid.

The supervisor was as cold and efficient as a machine, with collecting energy as his primary goal.

In order to prevent the abnormalities from escaping, he can personally execute all employees with "execution bullets" and exchange low-level employees for the management information of the abnormalities.

In fact, each department has an emergency exit for employees to escape, but those exits have never been opened.

Terry once saw a clerk crying and crawling with a broken leg, begging his supervisor to open the exit, but was eventually chewed up and dug out by the giant dog-like entity behind him▇▇.

In the eyes of supervisors, the company's employees are nothing more than cheap consumables, and only level 5 employees can get a little attention.

But even for level 5 employees, the supervisor will not hesitate when it is time to consume.

A meeting with a company executive might be a mixed blessing, but this is Lobotomy, and their executive is like a machine, so the probability of happiness is less than one percent.

There were many employees who received summons from their supervisors, but most of the time, they disappeared, completely vanishing.

But Terry knew he could not disobey. If he disobeyed the order, the easy punishment would be execution, but the more terrifying punishment would be "dismissal".

The Level 5 senior who was killed by the "train" yesterday once said:

He once saw a "fired" employee in the food of the "Unknown Monster Baby". And in the abnormal containment unit of the "Spider's Nest", he could always hear a faint and miserable cry for help...

Terry glanced at the TETH-level EGO: Loneliness beside the bed, and became even more pessimistic about his fate.

EGO is a prototype device created from the core extracted from the Abnormality, and is used by Lobotomy Corporation employees to work on and suppress the Abnormality.

The EGO equipment has terrifying potential. It is said that if someone can fully stimulate it, they can even defeat the existence that rules the city.

But Terry was not that kind of special person, so he had no right to refuse. He could only simply put on EGO, use his watch to open the protective door of the employee dormitory, and enter the company.

Several lights illuminated the facility, and the ground was littered with various broken limbs and arms, blood coagulated into a dark red color, emitting a sweet and fishy smell. The walls were covered with claw marks or dents left by impact, mixed with fine pieces of human tissue.

The cleaning staff quietly carried out the aftermath, carefully picking up the scraps of meat and internal organs on the ground and sweeping them into the trailer. There was not much expression on their faces, as if they were used to it.

A mountain of corpses had piled up in the lounge of the central headquarters. After the cleanup crew had dumped the remains from the trailer, they turned around and went elsewhere.

Terry glanced at the pile of corpses and couldn't help but think of yesterday. His body trembled with fear and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Just yesterday, the company's third-level alarm sounded, a large number of company abnormalities fled, and the instructions of the supervisor who was almost always right were completely confused.

According to the surviving senior staff, this was because the supervisor's cognitive filter accidentally failed, and he directly saw the abnormality in the containment room, 0-03-89 [DATA EXPUNGED].

Even that supervisor was driven crazy by the Abnormality, how long could he live? Terry lowered his head and walked towards the passage outside the lounge.

When Terry left, the pile of corpses stood alone under the dim light. The corpse on the far left suddenly shook, and then a bloody iron hook broke out of the body...

When Terry arrived at the door of the supervisor's office, he found the beautiful assistant standing quietly outside the door, but he had no time to admire her. He could only drag his heavy steps to inform her of the information.

The other party did not stop him, but opened the door after a few words of encouragement.

Terry finally got to meet the supervisor, but he looked very ordinary, so ordinary that he couldn't find any characteristics to describe him.

This made him feel strange, because the abnormalities such as the "Old Woman" he was working with also had this characteristic.

Shen Yu looked at the slightly trembling employee in front of him, and after remembering the setting of the Lobelia Corporation, he smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to 'deal' with you or send you on a mission. I called you here this time because I want to study the EGO you're using.

"So," Shen Yu patted the other person's shoulder and pointed to the lounge next to him.

"Let me borrow your EGO first, then go get some sleep."

"What?" Terry blinked. "Just, that's it?"

"Why," Shen Yu smiled, "Do you want a promotion?"

"No, I definitely don't think so." Terry waved his hands repeatedly, feeling great fear at the word promotion.

So he obeyed the order decisively, replaced EGO, and walked to the lounge in a suit.

Hehe, live another day, praise God, no, praise the boss!

Terry was secretly happy and walked towards the lounge with light steps, but when he was halfway there, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow on the left wall out of the corner of his eye, but after a careful search he found nothing.

Hey, I'm so suspicious. How could there be an Abnormality in the supervisor's office? This is the safest place in the entire company.

Terry stretched, opened the lounge, and rolled over into the extremely comfortable bed.

Shen Yu looked at the closed door and immediately used his authority to seal the lounge. The little knight then landed from the sky and came in front of EGO.

"This company is really shady." Shen Yu glanced at the lounge and recalled the other party's silly expression before.

This makes me, a supervisor staying in the office with beautiful women around me, feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Yu retracted his gaze and asked the little knight to use the Dream Nail on EGO Lonely.

The little knight bent his body and took out an instrument that looked like a musical instrument, a maracas. However, the front end was a core engraved with precise patterns, emitting a dreamy and ethereal lavender glow.

The ethereal light gathered at the core, and with a "ding" sound, precise circular patterns burst out, and a dazzling dreamlike long spike was formed, and hit EGO with a "clang".

As the Dream Nail collided with EGO, countless circular wheels with different patterns burst out, illuminating the entire office.
