Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 708 - 76: Constantine’s True Thoughts_2
The orderly self completed the work that was initially left undone, and after that day, a permanent thousand seconds were subtracted from his time.
If the original time for his body to enter the Orderly form was three hours, it now became three hours and a thousand seconds.
From this, Constantine finally drew the conclusion—
The time belonging to his own consciousness would gradually decrease; the process was smooth, but if his work was not done well and certain benchmarks were not met, this process would accelerate.
If he continuously erred or became too lax, Constantine believed he would soon be completely replaced—living permanently in the divine realm.
The divine realm was wonderful but ultimately not real.
However, why the Orderlies did not directly replace him was still under investigation by Constantine. He had only a vague feeling that perhaps controlling his body was not entirely unrestricted for the Orderlies.
He was presumably a test subject, to be precise, a work in progress. This, to Constantine, was one of the only two pieces of good news.
The other favorable conclusion was that, no matter what he thought or said, it wouldn't raise any suspicion.
Activities at the level of consciousness were free; as long as he could complete the tasks of the Orderlies, most of the time, he was still a human.
Therefore, Constantine realized the crux of the matter: to escape the dilemma and gain freedom, he needed to delay the plans that the Orderlies were constructing as much as possible.
He had a vague sense that the Orderlies were plotting something, and they were about to enter an execution phase.
But he could not personally do so; even these tasks, he had to ensure were completed successfully.
So on one hand, he had to efficiently complete the tasks of the Orderlies, play the part of a puppet, and on the other, find a way to delay the tasks of the Orderlies, play the part of a traitor.
Therefore, the ally Constantine needed was another "fence-sitter."
Li Wanye was the best candidate he could think of.
On one hand, Li Wanye wanted to consolidate his power within the Pyramid, and on the other, he was scheming against the Pyramid, planning to leave it.
This was something Constantine had seen through a long time ago, and Li Wanye was aware that his little maneuvers had been seen through.
They schemed against each other, yet because of aligned interests, they became collaborators. Although Constantine held a higher position in this cooperation, Li Wanye was the key to the entire plan.

The conversation between Li Wanye and Constantine lasted for almost twenty minutes, during which Constantine mostly unilaterally explained some precautions,
This was an event that would push the relationship between the judges and humans to an all-time low. Once this event succeeded, the Pyramid would inevitably plunged into chaos.
After a long discussion, they both agreed on the subsequent plan. Constantine looked at his watch and said,
"Alright, it's about time. I have only a few minutes left. You can leave now. Remember what I said, whatever you do, you represent only yourself, and you must not be discovered by me. If I find out, I will kill you."
"But correspondingly, as long as you don't act suspiciously, I will also help you covertly."
Without saying a word, Li Wanye just nodded and then bid farewell to Constantine.
Preparing to leave, he knew that since Constantine could come in, he didn't need to worry about him leaving.
Watching Li Wanye grow further away, a mixture of wariness and admiration that should not coexist appeared in Constantine's eyes.
It was only after Li Wanye's figure had disappeared that Constantine opened the portable teleportation rift and returned to the Mechanical Throne.

Lin Jue closed the door.
Even someone as rough as him treaded cautiously on the fourth floor of Lincoln Fortress. There were too many lunatics here; just recently, the Cyclops King was dragged into a sniping contest by a sniper with a mechanical arm and an infrared monocle.
However, once inside the room, Lin Jue's gaze couldn't help but land inappropriately on Qin Qian and Xiao Shi's behinds.
"Really shapely, I'd love to touch them," Lin Jue reminisced about his glorious days at Fortress No. 39 School.
Yet, he understood one thing about life, you don't touch a tiger's behind, and the women down the mountain are tigers.
Therefore, he knew better than to carelessly touch the behinds of the women in this room.
Especially that Xiao Shi, after Lao Lei died, she became the strongest guard by Song Que's side, almost like his shadow.
When Song Que was around, Xiao Shi was inseparable from him. But ever since Song Que went to the Holy Land Fortress, this young lady started acting like she was prematurely menopausal, treating everyone as if they were her enemies.
Lin Jue certainly didn't want his hands chopped off.
As for Qin Qian beside him, she was also someone not to be trifled with. Besides the girl with blue eyes in Tang Xian's team, when it came to telekinetic talent, no one could compare with Qin Qian.
However, ever since she saw Tang Suoye's strength, Qin Qian no longer dared to see herself as the Queen of Demons.
Lin Jue noticed that the atmosphere in the room today was a bit odd. Xiao Shi, who normally had a dead-fish face, wasn't scowling, but instead looked very calm.
He suddenly found that this girl not being angry or pretending to be cool actually made her pretty cute, and couldn't help but want to tease her. However, he immediately remembered something.
His eyes shifted quickly, and Lin Jue soon noticed a few new faces in the room.
"New faces? Did they come today? Can they be trusted?" Lin Jue asked three questions as soon as he arrived.
It wasn't that he was overly cautious. Nowadays, those who still believed in Song Que were considered Pyramid rebels, and Lin Jue and his group were already Pyramid fugitives.
They had no choice but to hide in places like Lincoln Fortress, a semi-lawless land. When the time came, most often, everyone headed for the mining area.
But the mining area was dangerous, with Bronze Judgment Knights now roaming in bands.
A few times, due to carelessness, Lin Jue almost became 'Wood Jue'. The Cyclops almost became 'No-eyes.'
Looking at Lin Jue, the Cyclops said:
"The boss came back."
"Which boss? Big head or small head?" It took Lin Jue a moment to catch on, as he habitually spoke in jest.
It wasn't until one of the strangers took off their wide coat and tore off the makeup from their face that Lin Jue was suddenly startled:
"Song?"
Originally, the team consisted only of Lin Jue, Xiao Shi, Qin Qian, the Cyclops, Ye Feng, and Gu Luo. The team's healer, Doctor Qin, did not follow them but chose to stand with those denouncing Song Que.
Later on, as a few of them continuously persuaded others and aided by Song Que's own charm, more and more people started to believe in Song Que, and some new faces appeared in the team.
But this also led to some problems.
The three new faces that appeared today were Song Que, Yu Xiaozhe, and Lin Sen.
With Lin Sen and Yu Xiaozhe around, it was quite difficult to discover Song Que, so when he shed his disguise, it greatly surprised Lin Jue.
"Damn, I was wondering why your little wifey wasn't scowling today. I thought she had taken a fancy to me and was ready to switch sides!" Lin Jue laughed heartily, feeling happy at the sight of Song Que.
But it didn't take long for him to feel Xiao Shi's murderous gaze.
Lin Jue shivered and then chuckled awkwardly, saying:
"Heh, heh heh heh, boss, you came back to find us with a plan, right?"
Song Que nodded, saying:
"I already know about everyone's situation. I truly feel terrible for bringing you all this trouble."
"Let's not talk about other things. I just want to ask, is that masked lunatic really you?" Ye Feng and Gu Luo had a deep impression of the Clown.
In the Hunting Festival, the Clown's haunting laughter was something nobody could forget.
And Song Que made a similar sound when he was hunting down the Judgment Knights.
Song Que knew that these people were all willing to follow him loyally, and it was time for more people to know of his and Tang Xian's dealings, the real enemies of this world.
Song Que said:
"This is a long story. These past few days, my life experiences have been more exciting than the past twenty-few years combined. What I am going to tell you next, involves some truly earth-shattering matters."
