Monster Girl Ranching in Another World-Chapter 354 Memories Pt 9
Harold and I spent the rest of the day running tests until the evening, but they all returned the same. No matter how many times we ran the God Frequency, the results returned with two-thirds of the earth's population being deleted.
There was no better term for what would happen to the people. The frequency would tear them apart at the atomic level, causing their bodies to explode in particles, but there was something.
“The only thing that might be our saving grace are the ghosts that will be left. From what the tests show, there will be something left of each person who is deleted. I don’t know what we can do with that information since we only just discovered what this even is. There are too many unknowns and not enough time to test them!” Harold complained as I leaned back in my chair, scrubbing my hands over my face.
“We just need to postpone whatever he is trying to do. There has to be a way that we can do something about the Ghosts they will leave. I will confront Helsin about this and beg that he give us some more time. I am sure I can convince Mark to talk to him,” I said, but Harold threw up his hands.
“Harold is part of the problem! That snake has been feeding information to Helsin since you got here! Why can’t you see this?!” Harold growled.
“Let’s focus on what is important right now. You and I have a job, and we will fix this. We have to,” I said, staring at the screen with the test results on it.
“What did you break this time?”
“Probably a keyboard that he used to hit Harold with.”
“Does that mean that we missed the action?”
I turned to see a group of girls I had come to know very well. Jilly, Mary, Lizy, Veronica, and Katie were all standing outside the doorway to our lab.
“How long do you plan on hiding in here? You know that we are having a party, right?” Jilly asked, walking in to come and sit on my lap.
“No fraternizing in the work areas!” Harold complained, and Jilly laughed. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
“Don’t be such a prude. Trinity is waiting for you, so leave Zack with us, and go get presentable,” Veronica said with a grin, making Harold blush.
“Well, I guess I sound, umm, get going,” Harold said but then turned to look at me seriously. “Don’t forget what I told you.”
“Like I could forget,” I said as Harold left the room, and the other four girls came in.
“What is wrong?” Mary asked as she came over to me.
“Hard to explain, and it would just kill the mood. We will deal with it. So, what is this about a party?” I asked to get off the topic, but Jilly gave me a look.
“Are you sure? You two looked a lot more gloomy than normal. Is this to do with what you are working on? I heard there was major progress made in your department, and that is why we are having a party. We thought we would come and congratulate you two, but you both looked like someone had run over your dog,” Jilly said, and I nodded.
“There is a lot I don’t know yet, but all of you will be safe. You girls and the others were the first ones I ran through the simulation,” I said, and Lizy stepped forward.
“Is that what is on your screen right now?! You have to tell me this is a failed test, right?!” Lizy exclaimed.
Lizy was in charge of the integration software that would link us to the game. I don’t think she quite understands what her program was meant to honestly do, but now she was getting a glimpse.
“That is what will happen if the Megatron Pulse is turned on with our God Frequency plugged into it. We have based our calculations on your software that Helsin has been rushing. The nature of your software has been kept from us until Harold, and I discovered the right frequency. Only now can we actually see what it is going to do. In order to change that, you would need to build new software, and we would have to find the frequency to match it,” I explained, and Lizy sank down into Harold’s chair. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
“Can’t you just delete your work?!” Jilly asked, but I gave her a look.
“What good would that do? He already has all of it. Nothing we can do at this point is going to stop him. Harold and I are now focused on damage control since the deleted ones will leave a Ghost behind. That is what I am calling it, but I don’t know what they are exactly. There will be something like an after image of the people killed, so we are trying to figure out how we can save them,” I explained, rubbing both hands over my face in frustration.
The room went silent, and I couldn’t blame them.
I had just explained how our boss was about to kill two-thirds of the world's population. On top of that, we were the tools that Helsin would use to achieve this.
“What can we do?” Mary asked, and I tapped Jilly’s ass for her to get up.
“For now, go to this party, and try to act normal. Tomorrow, Harold and I are going to go into overdrive to find a solution to this,” I said, but then the lights turned off, and red lights started flashing as a siren started to blare through the entire facility.
“You don’t think that he is going to do it already?! The game isn’t even finished yet!” Lizy exclaimed as she jumped out of her seat, but I was already running out the door.
There wasn’t a single part of me that didn’t think that was precisely what he was doing, but I wasn’t going to let this happen. I created this, not him, and I wasn’t going to let him kill all those people!
