Chapter 20: The Corrupter of All Things

[Containment Number: B-106]

[Name of Containment: All Things Corroder]

[Hazard Level: B-Class]

[Special Containment Procedures: No physical contact with B-106 is to be made at any time.] All physical contact requires the consent of more than two-thirds of Huaya's O5-level scientists, or one of the O6-level scientists.

All physical contact is to take place in B-106's containment facility, and is to be made after the evacuation of normal non-essential personnel. All personnel (including research, security, D-class personnel, etc.) must remain at least 60 meters away from the containment facility at all times, except in the event of a containment breach.

B-106 is to be contained in a locked room, which is composed of lead-lined steel. The room must be enclosed in 40 floors of identical material, each with no less than 36 cm of space between them. The support frames between the layers must be randomly arranged. The room must be suspended at least 60 cm from any surface with ELO-IID electromagnetic support.

The second level of containment is to consist of 16 spherical "chambers", each filled with a different liquid and covered with random brackets and surfaces.

The second level of containment is to be fully equipped with a lighting system that allows the containment area to be immediately filled with no less than 80,000 lumens of light at all times without the need for human intervention.

Both containment areas are to be monitored 24 hours a day. If any corrosion marks are observed on the surface of any containment area, monitoring personnel are to report them to Site Security immediately.

Any personnel or objects that disappear as a result of B-106 are to be considered missing/killed, and no rescue attempts are to be made.

Note: Ongoing research has shown that B-106 will be "disrupted" when confronted with complex/randomly arranged structures, and will be noticeably hesitant to enter or exit these structures.

In addition to this, B-106 also displays an aversion to sudden bright lights. However, testing has shown that bright light does not cause any physical damage to B-106.

These measures, including B-106's aversion to lead and confusion about liquids, have reduced the chance of breaching containment to 43%. 】

[Description: B-106 appears to be an elderly humanoid creature, usually with a highly decaying appearance. His appearance is constantly changing, and the degree of "decay" on his surface has been observed in a variety of forms.

B-106 is not very sensitive, and will roam the containment facility, waiting for its prey.

The B-106 can peel off any vertical surface, and can hang upside down in an indeterminate manner. Once prey is captured, B-106 will attempt to incapacitate the prey, usually by attacking major organs, muscle tissue, or legs.

B-106 is capable of producing a "corrosive" effect on the solids it touches, causing the physical collapse of matter within seconds of contact. The material is observed to rust, decay, and eventually collapse, and creates a black, slime-like substance that resembles the B-106 encased in it. This effect is particularly harmful to living organisms, and it is considered a "pre-digest" behavior.

B-106 is capable of passing through solid matter, leaving a large chunk of corrosive slime in its wake. B-106 is capable of "disappearing" into solid matter and exiting through any object connected to the solid matter it originally entered (e.g., "entering" the interior wall of a room and "exiting" the exterior wall). Enter a wall and leave from the ceiling).

When the B-106 is unable to capture its prey or is repulsed, the B-106-1 will appear, which is believed to be the body of the B-106.

According to credible eyewitness intelligence, B-106-1 has a very different image to different observers. Once present, B-106-1 will attempt to drag its prey into the "pocket dimension...... That is, it is in its 'stomach' and eventually 'digests' its prey. 】

"Our goal is to enter the 'pocket dimension', and that's how B-106-1 is key. However, the description of B-106-1 on file is too vague. It seems that there are a lot of variables in this operation. Chu Cheng finished reading the document in one go, and a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in his heart.

"I guess you all know about the situation with B-106, right?" At the same time, Funny lowered his voice and spoke to the shocked humans, "As you can see, B-106-1 is the key, because it is the only one that can drag people into the 'pocket dimension.'" But to meet B-106-1, we have to confront and defeat B-106 first. Time was running out, so everyone immediately activated the 'S-Mechanism' attached to the firearm and followed me into the containment facility. ”

"Yes, Captain Funny." When everyone heard this, they suddenly looked like they were facing a great enemy. Their fingers groped around the gun, as if they had activated some kind of safety, and immediately a piercing scream came from inside the gun.

Chu Cheng saw a viscous dark red light pouring out along the rifling of the barrel. What was even more astonishing was that the light made him faintly feel dangerous, as if he was likely to suffer a heavy blow from the saturated strafing of these guns.

"It seems that the living core inside these guns is not simple!" 'S core'? Chu Cheng thought about it and silently wrote down the word.

"That...... Captain, what should I do with the ghost painting? At this moment, someone in the team suddenly spoke, it was the middle-aged uncle who was pinching the photo of his daughter before.

"The ghost painting hasn't woken up yet, that's a problem." Funny hearing this, he glanced at the ghost painting lying on the ground, and then said to the middle-aged uncle, "Uncle Patton, the ghost painting will be taken care of by you, and when you enter the containment facility, you stay in the center of the team, and the rest of us will protect you and the ghost painting." ”

"Yes...... Understood, thank you...... Thank you, Captain! When the middle-aged man heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the ghost painting. He knew very well that Funny was giving him preferential treatment and wanted him to have a chance to go back and be with his daughter.

"Night Raven, you'll be in charge of the left-wing guard later, and I'll be in charge of the right-wing guard. As soon as B-106 appears, remember to warn each other as soon as possible. Comically arranged Barton and the ghost drawing, and then ordered into the communication channel.

"Yes, Captain." A capable female voice came from the communication channel. Funny Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards Chu Cheng.

"Mr. Chu, in the final analysis, the people of the task force are just ordinary people who are stronger. When it comes to life and death, I hope that Mr. Chu can help more, and don't see death without help. The funny gaze focused, stared at Chu Cheng's eyes, and said in a pleading tone.

"That's easy to say." When Chu Cheng heard this, he immediately agreed, and then said, "That's right." Anyway, after taking my blood, do you feel like you're somewhere...... Not the same as it used to be? ”

"Different?" Funny was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't feel anything?" Mr. Chu can't be kidding me, right? ”

"Don't you feel anything?" Chu Cheng's tone was a little disappointed, and then he patted his funny shoulder, "That...... If you feel it, let me know. ”

"Uh, okay." Nodding comically and mechanically, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Cheng's gourd.

Pulling out the security key from his bosom, he comically made his way to B-106's containment building. After a triple process of iris scanning, DNA matching, and security key verification, the door to the containment facility finally opened.

A smell of decay...... Suddenly!
