K.K.

The subject's special power can partially take over her nervous system either actively or passively, suppressing the transmission of pain signals and launching attacks voluntarily.

Awakened recently. No corruption symptoms detected. According to the subject's account, the awakening happened at the critical moment when the subject's life was threatened by gangsters.

No corruption symptoms have been detected so far and the mental state is very stable. The subject has even demonstrated extraordinary patience toward the Whitestone Industries colleagues.

Involved in multiple violent shootouts in Syndicate. A core member of a shell company with deep connections to various Syndican gangs. The subject is a key suspect who allegedly harbored and helped the dangerous scoundrel Bai Yi and has handled several suspicious transactions, posing a considerable threat to Syndicate.

The subject's previous criminal records consist of relatively minor crimes such as vandalism and assault committed when she was younger. She also colluded with the local gangs at the time. However, no criminal records can be found in the system for the time after she's joined Whitestone Industries. On the other hand, there are several records of community services and legitimate business activities. Assessments done during her detention show that the subject no longer has a criminal tendency.

By chance, the subject was spotted by MBCC staff on a mission. Thinking she'd run into some foes, the subject is provoked into a brawl and a fight inevitably resulted. During the process, the subject's Sinner identity was exposed and the subject was arrested on the spot.

The subject claims to be an orphan who grew up on the bottom rung of society in Syndicate. No clues about the subject's parents have been found. It's likely they have already died or gone missing amid violent conflicts.

Another core member of the Syndican shell company Whitestone Industries in addition to Bai Yi and Che, the subject shouldered almost all of the cashflow-related work of the company. Investigation suggests that such work involved gray market or even black market businesses.

The subject was once threatened by gangsters to reveal the whereabouts of Bai Yi. Reluctant to betray Whitestone Industries, the subject had a violent confrontation with the gang, but was still outnumbered even after awakening her special power. The subject was rescued by Bai Yi and Che in the end.

Having grown up in the unforgiving environment in Syndicate, the subject is extremely protective of her food and absolutely can't stand others coveting the food in her tray. Not even Whitestone Industries members will be excused for such behavior.

The subject has a diligent and serious work attitude, is highly disciplined, and has normal personal morals. With an excessive sense of responsibility for missions assigned to her, the subject is one of the few trustworthy people in the MBCC.

Highly territorial and very easily woken at night. Even the slightest noise can keep her awake, but she's never made any complaint. Such a reserved and calm personality is misunderstood as boring and unapproachable by many Sinners.

After partnering for a long time, the Chief has won the object's trust. The subject has begun to strike up conversations with the Chief and crack not very funny jokes, only the conversations still mostly revolve around jabs at her two partners at the Whitestone Industries.

[K.K. asks you about her former partner.]

K.K.: Where is Bai Yi? Where did she run off to again?

Chief: ......

• Prompt: Is there a mission you're not able to finish?
• K.K.: Tsk. There is no need for her to step in.
• K.K.: 😐

• Prompt: Probably slacking off in the basement.
• K.K.: Sigh. It's Bai Yi, after all. What are we going to do with the budget problem...?
• K.K.: 😫

[K.K. is waiting for orders in your office.]

K.K.: What can I do for you?

Chief: ......

• Prompt: We're looking for one more person to do the mission at the Rust. Are you in?
• K.K.: That's also nice... Let's go.
• K.K.: 😉

• Prompt: ...No.
• K.K.: Am I... going to lose my job?
• K.K.: 😥

⚠ Great Feat

Nightingale hands you the latest dispatch mission report.

System Notifications: The subject we are tracking in this mission speaks an Outland dialect to communicate with their allies. Hadn't it been K.K. helping us translate and get intel, the final operation to capture our target would never have gone so smoothly.

• Prompt: Give K.K. the highest commendation

⚠ K.K. and the Cat

You see something special in the Outdoor Activity Area.

System Notifications: K.K. never shares her food, but she gave some of her food to an orange kitten while she was on a picnic. The kitten was cuddling her.

• Prompt: Do you like cats, K.K.?

K.K.: That... that's not it. That cat was a poor little thing!

⚠ Soft Spot

Something went wrong during the hypnotherapy session.

System Notifications: K.K. lost control during the hypnotherapy session because, in her dream, she couldn't save Che and Bai Yi.

• Prompt: Comfort

⚠ Unnoticed Talent

You see everyone gather around the dancing machine, waiting to give it a try.

System Notifications: People say K.K. is surprisingly good at the dancing machine. She doesn't play very often though, because she doesn't like drawing attention.

• Prompt: I'd like to see it too.

System Notifications: K.K. says she will show you the dance moves next time.

⚠⚠ Card Game Skills

K.K. knocked on your door and asked if she could come in.

System Notifications: K.K. knocked on your door and asked if she could come in.

• Prompt: Yes

K.K.: Chief, the poker game.

Chief: Huh?

K.K.: You are good at playing cards, right?

• Prompt: A bit, I guess.
• Prompt: Somewhat, I guess.

K.K.: Could you teach me some techniques? I've been practicing by myself, but I could never win a game against Che and Bai Yi.

K.K.: It's insufferable how those two mock me.

K.K.: I saw you win against Bai Yi one time.

Chief: Ah...

Chief: It can be difficult to defeat Che, but with Bai Yi, I think it's possible.

K.K.: What do I need to do?

Chief: You just make sure she isn't cheating.

K.K.: ...

⚠⚠ Conversation Terminator

Chief, some of our employees reported that they were threatened by K.K. the Sinner.

System Notifications: Chief, some of our employees reported that they were threatened by K.K. the Sinner.

• Prompt: Ask K.K.

K.K.: You want to see me?

Chief: Some employees told me you threatened them.

Chief: What is going on?

K.K.: Threaten...

K.K.: No.

• Prompt: Do you really not remember anything?
• Prompt: Could there be some misunderstanding?

K.K.: ...Oh?

K.K.: Bai Yi said I always kept a poker face, which made me unapproachable. People could easily misunderstand my intention.

K.K.: So, she gave me a book of Dad jokes so that I could learn how to be humorous.

Chief: ...And then what happened?

K.K.: Then an employee said hi to me, and I replied them with a punch line I read in the book.

Chief: What?

K.K.: I'm a strange person. You should be scared.

Chief: ...

Chief: You know, you don't have to tell jokes if you don't have a good one to tell.

⚠⚠ Role Model Sinner

You look at this month's training attendance checklist and mission records as you ponder.

System Notifications: K.K. ranks number one in terms of the attendance record again, as expected.

Chief: K.K...

K.K.: ...?

• Prompt: Commend her

Chief: If only every Sinner here behaves as nicely as you do.

Chief: I just checked this month's training attendance checklist and the mission records. And you rank number one again.

K.K.: I mean, I didn't have any reason to take a day off.

Chief: If only Bai Yi and Che were as hardworking as you are, that'd be nice.

Chief: The three of you hang out every day, yet they are nothing like you.

Chief: Could you help me convince them so their attendance records can finally improve?

K.K.: Chief, take my word for it.

• Prompt: What?

K.K.: If my persuasion does any good to them, they would've improved long ago. After all, I hate to see them slacking off all day more than you do.

Chief: ...

⚠⚠ The Ability's Side Effect

A Sinner seems to be suffering from physical wounds.

System Notifications: K.K. the Sinner is wounded and bleeding out. You should send her to the medical room immediately.

• Prompt: Check now

Chief: There is an open wound on your leg. Why didn't you tell me anything?

K.K.: ...I didn't notice it.

K.K.: It's just a scratch. I'll be fine.

Chief: You'll be fine? You need to go to the medical room and patch yourself up!

System Notifications: The wound has been disinfected and patched.

Chief: You don't feel pain as much as the others do, which is why you have to pay more attention to your physical conditions.

Chief: Make sure to patch your wounds because if they are infected, it will be tricky to treat them...

K.K.: Chief.

Chief: Hmm?

K.K.: Do you... care about this a lot?

• Prompt: That's out of the question...
• Prompt: What do you think?

Chief: Of course I care about it a lot. It is my responsibility to look after all of you.

K.K.: ...

K.K.: I see. I'll be more careful next time.

⚠⚠⚠ Weapon

You and K.K. have a simulated practice battle.

System Notifications: You and K.K. just finished a simulated practice battle, but K.K. is looking pensive after that.

• Prompt: Approach and ask

Chief: What's on your mind?

K.K.: I'm thinking about the result of the battle just now. Though I protected you in time, you'd have gotten hurt if it'd been a real battle.

K.K.: Close-quarters combat is indeed your weakness, Chief.

• Prompt: Agree
• Prompt: Disagree

K.K.: Whether you want to admit it or not, if I close in on you in a battle and attack like this... you can't defend against this.

System Notifications: K.K. gets close to you and swiftly taps a few times on your body with the truncheon in her hand.

• Prompt: Ask what to do

K.K.: For a beginner like you, it's not realistic to aim at rapid improvement in close-quarters combat skills and attack resistance.

K.K.: I'll teach you some armed combat skills. That's the easiest way. You only need to hold out till we come to rescue you.

System Notifications: K.K. casually grabs a folding chair in the Training Room and demonstrates an attack sequence.

K.K.: See that? Any object around you can be turned into a weapon. Use it like this to protect yourself.

• Prompt: The shackles are my weapon.
• K.K.: The shackles are indeed very convenient, but they also take a toll on you.
• K.K.: Let's start with the basics.
• System Notifications: Because K.K. insists, you learn from her the skills to fight with a folding chair. Curious spectators begin to surround you.

• Prompt: You guys are my weapons.
• K.K.: Hmm, that sounds like something you'd say. We're indeed your weapons.
• K.K.: But to put a weapon to good use, it takes a lot of practice.
• System Notifications: Because K.K. insists, you two extended your training time by three hours.
• Chief: I'm exhausted!

The work uniform of Whitestone Industries has been enhanced to ensure protection and withstand attacks.

It is only right and proper that a debt of blood be paid in blood.
