Chapter 38: "Viruses"

Nishida Kota swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he always felt that he was going around in the previous agency mansion, as if he was unconsciously lost again.

Or maybe he has broken through the strange mansion that is extremely strange and constantly changing every moment, but that doesn't mean that he has broken through the difficulties, it's just that he has gone from one place to another.

Dim lighting, long corridors, paintings hanging on the walls on both sides......

And after looking closely, he realized that it was not a painting at all, but a photograph, some extremely disgusting and bloody photos, the kind that the R18 standard could not define, far beyond the limit.

And there is no coding, no holy light and shady ...... It was released so straightforwardly, as if this corridor was an art exhibition or a gallery, but it was posted with photos.

The materials are all about human beings, and the themes are all about death, or how to die and heavy torture -

The moment the man tied to the chair was shot and shot in the head, the picture froze, and the bewitching blood flowers accompanied the spiral of the bullet, and the whole head "bloomed......

The chopped off palms of many human hands, bloodied in a circle, were placed on a table full of knife marks, with a bright red apple in the center......

People who can't see their original gender are brutally crucified their hands and feet, the flesh and blood of the upper body are stripped off, revealing the white bones of the forest, and the lower half of the body is completely dyed red......

Looking at these "works of art" that are impossible for normal people to appreciate, Kota Nishida felt that his scalp was about to explode, and there was a feeling of coldness seeping into his skin, into his bone marrow, and into the depths of his soul.

Murder and torture are not the same thing at all.

Killing people for survival is not the same thing as killing for fun.

In this extravagant and huge mansion...... It can't be inhabited by a psychopath who takes pleasure in killing people, right?

In that case, it's really dangerous.,This kind of perversion is really dangerous! Those knives, guns, and so on, hitting the human body are also real damage!

If it's just an ethereal ghost and ghost, then it's still within an acceptable range, because of the previous experience and the official statistics of no casualties, so that Nishida Kota subconsciously felt that those things might not be too aggressive.

That is, it is just a little scary, as long as the psychological quality is strong, it will not be affected - this is also the reason why the special operations team dared to carry out the operation directly tonight.

Otherwise, if it was just to seize the opportunity, then they would not be so adventurous and aggressive.

In the final analysis, in fact, it was the statistical results of the previous cases in which no one really suffered casualties, which made them feel that they had more confidence out of thin air, and they also thought that maybe they could be a little more radical.

After all, it doesn't seem to be too dangerous, so you can try to take advantage of the fact that the main energy of other countries is still on Mt. Fuji, and you haven't discovered the Hyakki night walk in Tokyo yet.

Whether you can make a breakthrough in the mysterious realm and get a head start, or just this time!

"Don't be so unlucky......"

Whispering a prayer, the man pulled his neckline, he always had such a problem, that is, when he was nervous, he would feel out of breath, and subconsciously wanted to pull some collars.

"I don't want to meet this guy......"

Walking step by step through this long, extremely oppressive dim corridor, Kota Nishida breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the mobile phone he was holding in his hand.

The remaining battery made him a little tangled and worried, and he kept using his phone as a flashlight, but ...... This is never a real flashlight, it doesn't match the function, the power and duration.

And if it's just depleted, it's going to be troublesome.

Although I made two consecutive calls to the members of those black suit organizations before, but no one answered, it can't be said that the mobile phone really lost its effect...... Or is someone else like me, who turned on the mute and didn't hear it?

Maybe try again later, but there's still a chance to connect with other people? You can't just give up, can you?

So, you still have to leave some power on hand, just in case......

"Can you find a flashlight or a candle or something...... Is there really such a thing in this kind of place? ”

Kota Nishida stood at the entrance to this hall, looking around, and then glanced up at the stairs not far away.

Immediately afterward, he saw a dark shadow floating right from above.

Because the light was too dim, and he looked up a little late, he couldn't see too clearly...... It's just that if it's a human, it shouldn't be moved by "floating", right?

“……!!”

The man's complexion changed instantly, but with a certain amount of resistance and psychological endurance, he didn't make any sound after all, and his first reaction was to cover his mouth stiffly.

He is not particularly confident in his calmness, and he has been really scared into a little nervous in the past two days, for fear that if he doesn't cover his mouth like this, he will cry out in fear.

It's better to be a little bit of a mother than to just alarm that thing, and besides, no one else is here.

With a pale face, the man carefully and slowly crouched down, and held his breath, staring at the stairs above with all his attention, not daring to blink his eyes.

Half an hour later, he saw the thing float back from the other side—

It looks like a woman, wearing a tattered black dress, and there seems to be a nepotism or black aura floating all over her body, as dark as night.

In the dim light environment, it really looks like a shadow, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will ignore it...... Kota Nishida couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't seen it just now and walked up and bumped into that thing head-on.

The temperature in the air seemed to begin to plummet, as if the heat had been taken away, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something, the man began to feel that even if he couldn't see that thing, he could feel that there was an evil force in this space.

And the most terrifying thing is that the strange woman slowly stopped fluttering upstairs, and then turned around and slowly floated down the stairs.

“……!!”

Kota Nishida oozed dense cold sweat on his forehead, and even if that thing hadn't been discovered immediately, he was afraid that he had noticed something.

If he stayed where he was, he would really be dead - an extremely strong sense of uneasiness, telling him that this thing was extremely dangerous, absolutely impossible to fight, and that the only hope for survival was to remain undetected.

He quickly dismissed the dimly lit corridor behind him, as he couldn't move quickly, and if the thing continued to approach, he would surely be spotted...... After all, the corridor was too long, and it was easy to push yourself to your death until you weren't sure how fast this thing would explode.

It seems that the only hope is the room next to it, and it will probably be better to go in and hide, and if the other party is not fast, he will have a chance to maneuver around in the room.

But here's the problem...... Is the door locked?!

Resisting the urge to run as soon as he wanted to pull his legs, and suppressing his fear, Kota Nishida slowly moved to the door of the room next to him in a crouching and sneaking posture.

By this time, the thing had already gone downstairs, silently like a gust of wind, drifting towards this direction.

Kota Nishida stretched out his hand that was shaking uncontrollably, grabbed the doorknob, twisted it slightly, and then ...... It opened smoothly!

He felt relieved in his heart, but in the next moment, the door was slammed open from the inside!

"Ahhhh——!!h

A young man came out of it with his hands and feet and urine, still yelling frantically in his mouth, looking like he had collapsed his mind and reason!

Kota Nishida, who was knocked to the ground, covered his reddened forehead in pain, gasped, and then heard the weird laughter and the roar of the chainsaw, overlapping together, making people instantly creepy!

Almost immediately, he remembered his current situation, and at the same time saw the horrific sight of corpses hanging from white cloth in the room, and a huge black shadow with a huge circular saw, rushing out of it!

Exercise......

With a bloodless face, he only felt a cold breath rushing straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, as if even his thoughts were frozen!

At this moment, time seemed to lose its meaning, and he couldn't tell if it was an illusion under his extreme fear, or if there was really such a strange phenomenon for a moment.

"Ahhhh——!!h

The scream, no, it should be said to be a scream, perfectly replicated the behavior of the teenager just now.

When he finally came back to his senses, Kota Nishida found that he had even imitated the same actions of the damn stupid boy just now-

He avoided the terrifying circular saw with a set of tactics of crawling on all fours, and then turned around and fled!

Under the frantic rotation of the sharp sawtooth, in the screeching sound, the wood chips on the floor where he used to be were scattered, and they were sawed alive!

But what was even more terrifying was the female ghost-like thing, which was alarmed and let out a sharp cry in place!

Although the terrifying sound waves were just noise, not mental attacks, all kinds of objects in the hall suddenly floated into the air under the influence of a terrifying force, and then fell heavily!

Or just like a shotgun endowed with kinetic energy, cabinets and sofas are flying and smashing everywhere!

But at this time, Nishida Kota didn't dare to stay, but rushed into the dim corridor without his life, following closely the figure of the young man at the end.

He couldn't think about anything at this time, his eyes were blood-red, and he only knew how to run forward with his legs open!

Focused running! Run hard! Run as hard as you can!

He couldn't think about anything, he couldn't be distracted and stopped, and every loud sound of movement from behind him was an impact and torture on his nerves that were tense to the limit.

The poor creature was almost going crazy, and every thud, roar, and scream coming from the hall behind him would miraculously increase his speed to reach his limit by a few more points.

And in the same way, it will also make his already hideous enough expression more distorted.

His legs had turned into windmills, and he naturally didn't think about what he had experienced at that moment, as if he had suddenly disappeared.

……

……

Real-world areas.

A huge circular room, the huge equipment of the STEM system and its operation, and many of the connecting tanks connected to it are empty.

One of them was the Nexus Tank, where Detective Sebastin's real body lay down, but his eyes were closed as if he were asleep, and his mental consciousness was also sinking into the crumbling STEM world.

And above the metal wall directly in front of him, behind the transparent observation window, was the command room—

Researchers affiliated with the Morbius organization are sitting in front of the computer and working.

The manager sat on the back sofa to monitor the audience, and two black-suited bodyguard men wearing sunglasses stood on either side of him with their hands behind their backs, like door gods.

It's an extremely busy, heavily guarded scene, and it feels like a secret research base.

"The anomaly has reappeared, just like the incident a week ago."

At this moment, a short-haired, cold-haired and beautiful woman in a leather coat sitting in front of the computer desk on the left side frowned and reported her findings.

"Just thirteen seconds ago, the STEM system was ...... again Stuck? However, this time it did not lead to a forced restart, but the collapse of Hele Town is expected to be accelerated again! ”

"So what is the reason for the detection this time? Kidman. The manager asked calmly.

"No, it's just...... This time, the source of the lock seems to have appeared in the commercial area of Hele Town, and the more specific location is unknown. ”

Kidman was still frowning.

"But the traces of the anomalous data working, I've copied it, and it feels like a ...... Well? Is it a program that works? ”

"Virus? Is it true that someone is deliberately destroying STEM? Kidman, run this program and see—" The manager narrowed his eyes slightly, then showed a look that was indeed the case.

After all, this kind of thing sounds like it can only be a virus, and it is specially designed to destroy the system, so he can't help but think so.

Moreover, STEM is not an ordinary computer system, and at present, the whole world is such a machine here, how can it be infected with viruses for no reason...... The biggest possibility is that there is an internal ghost within the organization!

"But......" Kidman seemed a little worried, and stopped talking.

The manager glanced at her calmly, and said loudly-

"Do as I say, Kidman! And what are you afraid of, it's just a program that could disrupt STEM, and we're in reality right now. ”
