Chapter 3: I Digest ...... No, containment!
Ngong Shing TV is located in the heart of the city, and the tall radio transmission tower on the roof of the building is the most prominent symbol.
People who come in and out of this place are in a hurry, or striding with their heads held high, or laughing, or frowning, as the only TV station in Ngong Thanh, there are so many stories here that are enough to make this place special.
Such a special is naturally good and bad.
However, as an ordinary person, most of the encounters are the latter.
For example: Bob.
As a technical employee, it is difficult for him to get high remuneration like a host and actor, and he can only rely on a meager salary to get by—even if such a meager salary is already very good for others.
But after the comparison, Bob was not satisfied.
He wants more.
Preferably...... Unearned.
He'd seen too much for nothing.
Since someone else can.
Why can't he?
Others can sit in the office blowing the air conditioner and counting the bills.
He?
Naturally, too.
So, he got into action.
It's not difficult for a technical employee to accomplish such an action, you know, this is Ngong Thanh TV, and there is too much to get here for nothing.
And he?
All you need to do is lock on to the target.
Black eats black?
No!
He called this robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
Today is the time for him to act.
In order to give himself a sense of 'justice', he deliberately did not eat in the cafeteria, but walked to the burger restaurant outside the TV station to buy a beef burger set with hamburgers, fat house water, French fries and two packets of ketchup.
Then, outside the burger joint, Bob encounters a very strange guy.
It's not that the other party looks weird.
In fact, the other party's face was hidden under the hood, and it was not clear at all, and what really caught Bob's attention was that the other party was carrying five hamburgers in his hand.
There was only one person, but he was holding five burgers.
Although the other party is tall, Bob does not think that the other party can eat five burgers.
"Ignorant fellow."
Bob couldn't help but mutter.
Then, his soliloquy caught the weirdo's attention.
Facing the glance of the tall weirdo, Bob subconsciously took a step back.
However, when he thought that this was a crowded street, he was immediately bold, not only took a step back, but also raised his head and stalked his neck, and asked very stiffly, "What are you doing?" ”
Jason, who was outside the TV station, was looking for a 'suitable target' and bought twenty burgers at a burger joint, which he searched for as he ate.
Jason doesn't want to disturb other people's peaceful lives, but he needs someone who can take him to the TV station smoothly.
Such a person must need a certain level or special type of work.
And at this moment, a thin, bespectacled, slightly gloomy man appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at the appearance, Jason can be sure that the other party must be the kind of person who has been excluded and bullied.
Such a person is miserable enough, and it is not the target he chooses.
It's just that to Jason's expectations, the other party actually came at him.
Looking at the 'maintenance technician' badge hanging on his chest, Jason grinned.
He is reluctant to break the peaceful life of others, but ...... Those who provoked him were definitely not in this category.
Therefore, when the other party raised his head and asked him what he was doing, he shook his left hand, and a dagger was pressed against the other person's stomach.
Bob, who was still upright a moment ago, trembled at this moment.
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry!"
"It's my fault!"
Bob felt the sharpness of the dagger and spoke very quickly.
"Please don't hurt me."
"My purse is in the left pocket."
"If it's not enough, there is a bank card inside, and the password is: 441024."
Looking at Jason, who was unmoved, the maintenance man immediately added.
"Turn around!"
"Don't look around, go into that little alley in front of you."
Jason said coldly.
Bob didn't hesitate, turned and walked down the alley.
Revolt?
Bob never thought anything would come of his emaciated self resisting.
As for loud cries for help?
On the premise that there is a possibility that his belly will be cut, he chooses to be silent.
There is only one life!
So, Bob chose to match.
Walking into the alley, after confirming that he would not be seen, Bob fell to his knees as soon as his knees went limp, and at the same time, he raised his hands high, once again indicating that he was harmless.
"Please leave me alone."
"I'll give you a lot of money."
"Trust me, that money will be available soon."
Then, without waiting for Jason to ask anything, Bob told him about his blackmail plan.
Bob has always believed that communication is the foundation of friendship, and interests are related to the depth of friendship.
He believed that he could impress Jason.
After all, who doesn't need money?
Jason looked at Bob with a slight surprise.
Jason never imagined that Bob, who seemed to be easily excluded and bullied, would have such a bold plan.
In his opinion, the whole plan can be called watertight, and the probability of success is quite high.
But for Jason, it was useless.
What he needed was to learn about that particular TV show.
"Cartoon clown shows?"
Faced with Jason's questioning, Bob was stunned.
He thought about Jason's various reactions, but never thought that Jason would ask such a question.
However, he immediately shook his head and said truthfully:
"Nope!"
"As far as I can remember, there was no such show!"
Jason wasn't surprised by this answer.
That kind of weird TV show is obviously beyond the normal category.
His inquiry, too, was only a cautious, customary inquiry.
What if the person in front of you would know?
"Where does the TV show signal come from?"
Jason asked.
"From Ngong Thanh TV, did you see the tower?"
"From here, it goes through the other towers and into the televisions of each house."
Bob pointed in the direction of Ngong City TV.
Even in the alley, the tower was still conspicuous, and Jason could see it at a glance.
"Will you be able to get in there?"
Jason continued.
"Yes."
"I'm a maintenance guy."
"Maintaining signal towers is my job."
Bob said honestly.
"Take me in?"
Jason asked again.
"Yes."
"You just need to disguise yourself as someone delivering repair parts and follow me to get in."
Almost as soon as Jason asked, Bob thought of a countermeasure, and he said it in a coherent manner.
Moreover, Bob didn't ask Jason why he got into the TV station at all.
All he knows is cooperation.
He wanted to survive.
As for more?
He can't do that much.
"Very well, get up."
Jason's words relieved Bob.
He stood up with his hands on the ground, subconsciously turned his head to look, and then he almost knelt down again.
What did he see?
He saw a mouth.
After opening, the huge mouth, the sharp teeth in the mouth bloomed in the sun, and after the five hamburgers were thrown in, there was no sense of crowding, just a few chews, and they were swallowed.
Monsters, monsters!
Bob trembled with fear.
Jason wiped his mouth.
"Sure enough, the food was still hot and delicious."
Jason said this, and threw the bag in his hand into the trash can beside him.
This behavior stunned Bob in fear.
Monsters also know how not to litter?
He thought subconsciously.
But when Jason's gaze swept over, Bob immediately stopped thinking and stood there in a quiet posture, more deferential than before.
Powerful people, terrible.
Powerful monsters, even more terrifying.
Bob knew what he was going to do.
"Lead the way."
Jason said.
Bob sprang into action.
As Bob said, with his lead and the excuse of 'sending parts', Jason made his way to the TV station without any obstacles.
Jason was the first time inside the station.
When viewed from the outside, it is high-end and classy.
But when he entered the hall, it was busy, and he was a little surprised to see the people coming in and out of the hall around him.
In his impression, the work of the TV station should be very leisurely.
After all, those presenters sit there and speak methodically every time.
"Ants are hierarchical."
"And even more so people?"
"No rank?"
"That's just a cover-up."
Bob said in a low voice.
Then, just as the maintenance man was about to continue leading the way, the image on the large screen in the hall was distorted, and a cartoon clown appeared on it.
"Hey, hey, we're meeting again!"
The cartoon clown said something like that.
The people who were busy around fell to the ground one by one.
Bob next to Jason is no exception.
Even, the other party was the first to faint.
In the middle of a breath, there was once again only one person left standing.
And the clown's show continues.
This time it changed from a small town to a city, although it was animated, but looking at the signal tower of the sign, Jason immediately confirmed that the animation described was Angseong TV.
"Look, what did we find?"
"A TV station!"
"It's so cold!"
"It needs passion!"
"Enthusiasm as much as fire!"
The cartoon clown performs an antics on the screen, first pulling out a burning mosquito coil.
"Come, come, come."
"Let's light it!"
"Let's give it enthusiasm!"
With that, the clown put the mosquito coil at the building.
However, the flames of the mosquito coil could not cause any damage to the building at all, but the head of the ignited mosquito coil was poked off.
This scene makes people laugh.
The laughter also came from the show.
Combined with the clown's annoyed look, it really makes people laugh out loud.
But Jason didn't laugh.
Even, without any smile.
He stared coldly at the clown's performance.
And the chagrin on the clown's face disappeared.
There was only an eerie indifference.
"Isn't it funny?"
It asked Jason.
Then, without waiting for Jason to answer, the Joker screamed.
"Isn't it funny?"
"Why don't you laugh?"
"Laugh! Laugh! ”
"Laugh quickly!"
The clown shouted, and suddenly he laughed again.
Laughing forward and backward, rolling on the ground with laughter.
And just as suddenly there was a laugh, and so did the laughter, the cartoon clown who was rolling on the ground stood up, and torches and gasoline appeared in his hands.
"Passionate!"
"Laugh!"
"Celebration!"
The clown, who was shouting like this, poured gasoline on the TV building in the anime and threw the torch on it.
Call!
The flames flew straight up.
The flames rose, the heat was pervasive, and the screams and wails in the animation of Angseong TV continued to sound.
The animated clown is jumping and jumping with joy.
At the same time, the real-life Ngong Shing TV station also had a fire.
There is no exaggeration in the anime, but the real flame appears.
The Joker stared at Jason coldly again.
It seems to want to see something.
To his disappointment, Jason didn't panic at all, he didn't even look at it.
Instead, he stared at an area in the hall.
Following Jason's gaze, the animated clown saw a schematic diagram of the TV station structure in the area.
"Yes, run!"
"At this time, you must run away!"
The anime clown said this, his upper body remained unchanged, and his legs ran through the cartoon like galloping wheels.
And Jason?
He strode forward.
Without a guide, he certainly had to confirm the route himself.
Instead of choosing an elevator, Jason chose a staircase.
The eerie clown had already exhibited a trait similar to that of radio waves, and although Jason couldn't confirm that the other party was able to control the elevator, it was safest to walk.
"Come back! Come back! ”
"You unqualified spectator!"
The clown's angry voice began to sound.
Jason's pace is even faster.
What the enemy wants to stop, he does.
As for the flames?
He, Jason, is immortal.
Moreover, he does not think that some small children will not be found out about arson.
That's right!
It's just kids!
Before the firelight appeared, Jason heard footsteps outside the hall that were different from those of adults.
Contacting the scene that happened in the supermarket before, Jason guessed something in an instant.
So, he didn't bother at all.
As for city-wide broadcasting?
Bring down all the adults and free all the children?
Think about what happened when he just appeared.
Although it is not clear what kind of mechanism the city has, but the reaction speed is quite fast, so it should not be difficult for the other party to stop and cut off the broadcast signal.
After blocking and cutting off the transmission signal, what can this animated clown do?
Is it [expletive] in the restricted screen?
And, even the worst happens.
Jason is also sure to turn things around.
Because......
He smelled the food!
Very light!
It's coming from the rooftop!
I can't solve the problem, but I can eat what creates the problem!
As long as it is consumed by his stomach...... No, it's contained!
Yes, containment!
Jason loves the adjective.
As long as it is contained by his stomach, everything will be back to normal!
Jason went upstairs faster.
At first, he still stepped up, and when he got to the back, as the fragrance became more and more intense, Jason simply began to jump.
After bending his legs, he jumped to his feet.
He controlled the power, and as soon as his tall figure raised his hand, he climbed the handrail of the upper staircase, and then, with the force of his arm, his body jumped up again, and when his feet stepped on the railing, he used force again, raised his hand and climbed the handrail of the upper floor again, and with continuous flexible turns, Jason began his way of going straight upstairs.
With this way of going upstairs, Jason quickly came to the top floor.
Bang!
Kick open the locked door.
Jason looked at the TV tower in front of him, his nose fluttering, and a big smile appeared on his face.
Steel?
It's not like he hasn't eaten it.
When it came time to taste those special swords, Jason had enough experience to eat.
At this moment, it has become containment, and it is naturally easy to capture.
He bit down on the steel on the side of the tower, sucking hard.
Suddenly, a sweet taste appeared.
And downstairs in the hall, in the cartoon that was still playing, the animated clown became panicked, and he howled in horror.
But it didn't work.
A huge, pitch-black figure enveloped the sky.
Hungry!
I'm so hungry!
A loud roar echoed through the sky.
The animated clown shuddered, hoping that the terrifying monster would not look at it, but the huge black shadow, as soon as he lowered his head, the scarlet eyes locked on him.
And then......
A huge black shadow opened its bloody mouth.
The trembling animated clown, with a contorted face, let out a final howl of terror—
"No!"
