My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World

Chapter 582 505: Aruba

Syndicate, this term also traces back to half a year ago when a scientific scholar named Xuedong Ming unwittingly resonated with the consciousness of the Eight-Spider Nest Mother and defected from the Chichu Family.

Since then, more and more people who resonated with the Eight-Spider Nest Mother started to emerge, be they the corrupt street thugs or the resolute frontline soldiers, researchers, or even the aristocracy within the family. After resonating, they developed a near-fanatical devotion to the Eight-Spider Nest Mother, becoming crazed individuals who lost self-control, some of whom were immediately noticed and dealt with, which was fortunate.

However, some highly enduring fellows learned to disguise themselves, continuing to hold their posts just as before, showing no difference from their usual selves, and nobody could detect their abnormality. These people operated in secrecy, continuously stealing Chichu Heaven's confidential information. Consequently, the Four Great Tower Cities' armies suffered consecutive defeats on the front lines, with countless fortresses and posts falling.

These individuals banded together, calling themselves the 'Syndicate.' These Syndicates had unknowingly infiltrated various layers of human society, like ticking time bombs ready to explode at any moment.

For many years, the Insect Race had been trying to infiltrate human society, never succeeding before. The amoebas couldn't entirely detach from their cluster life, not to mention that people close to the original hosts could easily detect their disguises.

The Spider Mother must have changed tactics. Instead of having her Followers infiltrate human society, she directly resonated with a human's consciousness, influencing and subtly changing their memes, picking proxies like planting tacks outside the city, deploying them when needed.

Unlike amoebas, those chosen to become Syndicates remained themselves, their thought processes merely different, but their manner of speech, habits were preserved, even their aura was unchanged. Humans do not rely on pheromones for survival, but they inevitably relax their vigilance upon sensing familiar pheromones from those close to them.

The terror of Syndicates lies in that, currently, no methods exist to detect them, and the household has no sufficiently effective solution.

No one knows whether today's close person is a Syndicate.

"That guy called Heidelberg told me he plans to introduce a new batch of Moon Sugar, targeting the youth market. That Moon Sugar product is named 'Family Notion', using the Vermilion Saliva ingredient as bait to lure people into trying it."

"He hopes I can add a small amount of inducement substance into the Vermilion Saliva, just like those soldiers who, after long-term consumption of such inducement substances, turn into those monsters; however, short-term use only brings fatigue."

"He hopes, through this method, to disseminate the inducement substance among addicts, after experiencing this type of Moon Sugar, those rotten individuals would voluntarily spread this inducement substance to more people, like locusts passing by!"

Mountain Crow's eyes darkened.

Indeed, for those Sugar Men addicted to Moon Sugar, Moon Sugar and Vermilion Saliva are indispensable parts of their lives. Spreading in this manner neither immediately kills the source nor widely disperses the inducement substance while ensuring their long-term consumption.

Especially since young people favor novelty and excitement, easily descending into the abyss. When 'Family Notion' explodes among the youth, an unprecedented disaster will erupt in Chichu Heaven.

"Damn it!" Mountain Crow couldn't help but curse. "Don't let me find him, or I'll surely make that bastard Aruba regret it all!"

"I must confirm whether this Moon Sugar is already circulating in the market." Thistle Xuedong spoke.

"I only tested it on these soldiers and haven't handed over the final product to him..." Dr. Kreif said hesitantly.

Yun Que pondered momentarily, glancing at Dr. Kreif lying on the ground: "So, even though you weren't chosen by the Spider Mother's consciousness, why would you help that Syndicate?"

These words seemed to sting Kreif deeply, causing the man to rise with unusual agitation: "Do you mean that not being chosen means I can't follow Him sincerely from the depths of my heart?"

"What do you understand? It's such a magnificent and perfect creature, I dare bet, any scientific researcher would go mad unveiling His mysteries!"

"He is just, He just hasn't noticed me yet, this isn't an issue with my abilities, nor is it a lack of purity in my faith. As long as I keep following Him, He will certainly notice me."

"Enough, your noise hurt my ears." Mountain Crow dug into his ears, "We've asked everything, the time's up, lend me a hand."

Kreif, lifted, was filled with terror: "What more do you want, I've said everything, you can't do this!"

Yun Que smiled insincerely: "We never said you wouldn't be Aruba-ed after confessing everything."

"We adhere to the principle of Aruba to death for any betrayer like you." Xuedong's frost-like gaze receded, revealing a sweet smile.

"You are three Patriarchs; how can you do such undignified acts!" Kreif roared, "So childish, stupid, and unreasonable, if outsiders knew, how would they view you!!"

"You needn't worry about that, we've never left survivors in these matters. Qing, lift his right leg higher, thus no outsiders will know." Mountain Crow waved dismissively.

At that moment, Kreif felt a deep fear. He finally understood how the nickname 'Three-headed Hound' for these three came to be in the community.

"Seino!"

"You can't do this... Ah!"

"Move a bit left, seems out of alignment."

"You savage mad dogs... Ah!"

"Have you two eaten? Why can he still talk?"

"Two brainless savage monkeys, shameless sluts... ah ah!!"

"Shouldn't we try freezing him? Seems we haven't tried that yet?"

"I beg you, please not this way, I'll always be loyal to the household..."

A man's shrill screams echoed beneath the skies.

"Agreed, old rule, the last one is mine!"

Thistle Xuedong stepped forward briskly and delivered a powerful kick, rendering Kreif completely voiceless.

"Phew, mission accomplished. Doing this regularly enhances the mood." Thistle Xuedong clapped. "Feels like I've become younger."

"Regrettable, feels like I only exerted two-tenths of my strength." Yun Que said.

"Was I the only one exerting myself?" Mountain Crow panted heavily.

The three exchanged looks and burst into hearty laughter, shoulders linked, laughing so hard their chests touched their backs until a faint voice interrupted them.

"Um." Xiaoliu timidly raised a hand, "Can I leave now?"

"Oh right, forgot there is a living person here."

"Should we silence him?"

"Indeed, we should lock down this information, letting others know would be too disgraceful."

Seeing the three approaching, Xiaoliu squeezed out an awkward smile through tears: "Eh??"
