Chapter 196: Sacrificing a Transcendent One
Study the Central District of the Special Administrative Region.
The top officials of the SAR and the Self-Defense Forces gathered in the central control room, anxiously staring at the large screen in front of them, and below the screen, dozens of technicians were sweating profusely.
"Damn! Why was the A4 Institute invaded, and where did the enemy get in? β
Looking at the 'unreachable' prompt on the screen, the grumpy Self-Defense Force officer slammed his fist on the console.
Although the Self-Defense Forces system is still quite corrupt and lazy, and the reaction speed of civil servants can be described as slow, no matter how slow it is, it will still move after all, and the anomaly of the A4 Research Institute was not covered up for long before it was discovered by the staff of the SAR headquarters.
There was no response from internal communications, no report on the progress of the research, and even went into closed mode when the guards went to investigate the situation, cutting off the only entrance.
All of this is an indication of what is happening at the A4 Institute, and it is probably not good news for them.
"Surveillance outside the A4 Institute did not reveal anything unusual, which means that there is clearly a problem inside."
"Is it a prisoner? How did the guards do it? β
"It's just at this time, I'm afraid someone is pushing behind it."
It just so happened that an accident happened just when paranormal research was just making progress, and it happened to be the research institute that was conducting the most important research, how could it be such a coincidence?
A vague look swept to the side.
There were not only black-haired and black-eyed figures in this control room, but also a few blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, who were standing by with blank faces on their faces, as if they still hadn't understood what was going on.
But who else could it be? The progress of supernatural research is top secret to the outside world, and apart from these high-ranking Japanese officials, only these SAR participating countries know about it.
"The surveillance system has been breached!"
The simple call shocked the high-level people in the control room.
"Quick, get all the surveillance!"
The screens in front of the control room were replaced with surveillance footage.
Blood-stained walls, corpses piled up in corners, unrecognizable laboratories...... Everything was as they imagined, and the situation inside the A4 Institute was extremely bad!
The screen of the prisoner and Lucia's face flashed, and although the screen went black immediately, the technicians in the control room still enlarged and restored the flashing picture.
"It's... Sure enough, it's a prisoner! β
"Look at the ones in front!"
The tall Lucia men stood out too much among the prisoners, and they were noticed by the higher-ups at first sight.
"It's Lucia!"
An officer angrily turned his head and looked at Envoy Lucia to the side.
"Can you explain why Lucia did this?"
Special Envoy Lucia shrugged: "I deeply sympathize with this, but please pay attention to the wording, Lucia is not involved in this matter. β
The officer was angry and pointed to the photo on the screen: "Isn't this the prisoner sent by Lucia?" β
"Yes, they are all test subjects specially sent by our country to support supernatural research."
"Subject? Is there such a test subject? β
The officer laughed angrily, those big men were full of energy, where did they look like they were in prison? There is no doubt that this was definitely sent in by Lucia on purpose!
"I'm very sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, but isn't it because of the lax vigilance in your country? Those are the most vicious death row inmates, why would the guards of your country let them escape? Don't you know that this will cause us a lot of trouble? β
"You..."
"Do you want to question Lucia's assurance?"
"You...!"
Before he could say something, a silver-haired Self-Defense Force general patted him on the shoulder:
"Alright, that's it! There is no point in arguing, since those are just death row inmates, then it is enough to kill them all. β
"There are several extremely precious and transcendent items sealed inside the A4 Institute, and they cannot be forcibly blasted, but our technicians will be able to take back control of the Institute in no time."
"They have nowhere to escape, and in the end they can only be exterminated here by us, no matter what their purpose is, the only way to meet them is failure!"
A faint cold light flashed through his cloudy eyeballs, and it was clear that he was not as indifferent as he said.
"The monitoring and control authority of the core area has been breached!"
Another new surveillance screen was displayed on the screen, but this time the sound of gasping was heard in the control room.
"It's... Core? β
"The core area has also been breached?"
"No, look at the bottom left, there are still people alive!"
The core area where the Yin-Yang Mirror is preserved has not yet been breached, which should be good news for them, but now they are not happy at all when they look at the footage in the surveillance, but begin to doubt their eyes.
......
"Bang!"
The gunshots rang out, and Takuya Fujiwara turned around, and faster than him were the prisoners and big men who were surging with blood.
"What happened?" A big man asked in a deep voice.
The Ragdoll shrugged: "The camera has moved, it looks like they've noticed something abnormal!" β
"So fast?" One prisoner asked suspiciously, "This is not the speed of reaction that the Self-Defense Forces should have."
"This kind of speed is going to be court-martialed in Lucia, but the civil servants are indeed a little faster than I thought!"
"But it doesn't matter, our destination has arrived!"
Control of the Institute was still in their hands, and the protection of the core that the researchers had hoped for was non-existent, and when they arrived, the heavy alloy door opened on its own.
Inside the gate, however, were not the researchers they had imagined to be huddled in a ball, but a laboratory covered in blood and corpses strewn across the floor.
Several researchers sat on the ground, their white coats smeared with a disgusting color from countless splashes of blood, just like their dull eyes.
The creak of the door opening attracted their attention, and their dull eyes came to life at the sight of the thugs with guns in hand.
"Help... Help me! β
Instead of flinching back, they crawled towards the gate with their eyes open, in a panicked dog crawling position.
Before the prisoners could react to what was happening, they saw the guys crawling towards them.
Those cold, ruthless, no-nonsense guys used to have this kind of expression?
The contrast to the completely different memories made their spirits tremble, which was different from what they had imagined.
Shouldn't they be angry to drive away these cold-blooded monsters and then make them repent? Why do these guys call them for help?
"Click!"
The prisoners were confused, but Lucia did not hesitate, and the muzzles of their guns were raised.
However, it didn't wait for them to pull the triggerβ
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! β
As if flowers were in full bloom, the researchers in white coats bloomed in unison, and instead of colorful fire, they bloomed with the smell of blood.
A rain of blood poured down from everyone's heads, dyeing their whole bodies red, and now they finally knew why this laboratory had become like this.
"Gross!"
Smelling the fishy smell in the air and looking at the 'flowering' corpses in front of them, some prisoners couldn't help but bend down and vomit.
Takuya Fujiwara wiped the blood stains on his face casually: "The speed is 110 yards per hour, and the blood pressure is high." β
"Be careful."
The Ragdoll smiled at the corners of her mouth and said to her companions behind her.
Obviously, something unexpected happened here.
ββββ
The sound of flesh rubbing came from the ceiling, and everyone looked up.
"It's...!"
A flurry of inhales.
There was a terrifying monster attached to the ceiling, and unlike the previous monsters that could still see human form, this monster no longer had the slightest appearance of a human being.
Fat flesh wriggled on the ceiling like worms, and from time to time a small bubble exploded from the epidermis, causing a bloody yellow liquid to splatter out.
"What is this?"
It looked so disgusting that some of the prisoners who hadn't vomited just now couldn't help but vomit anymore.
Just looking at its presence can make one instinctively feel extremely uncomfortable.
Takuya Fujiwara stared at the lump of meat fixedly, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a human face in the gap between the lumps of flesh.
It can only be described as seeming, because the facial features are no longer in the shape of a human being at all.
"You're a researcher here?"
The Ragdoll frowned, and asked with difficulty, he found the bursting white coat between the lumps of flesh, if it weren't for this, he really didn't want to believe that this thing was once human.
"It's a wonderful feeling!"
The dull thunderous voice made everyone feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
The monster spoke, no doubt in Japanese.
The fat palm brushed over, and the arm was completely gone, only the two palms were still exposed, but the fingers on the two palms were also just like flatulence, and there was no gap between the five fingers.
It was stroking its body in obsession, and this scene made the scalp of many people below tingle.
"It's... Extraordinary power! β
"Sure enough, only by becoming extraordinary can you not be affected by that mirror."
"No, it should be said that mortals are not allowed to enter the underworld, but transcendent can!"
"An unexplainable phenomenon, I feel that mirror drawing me."
"What's missing? Why can't I answer its call? β
A disgusting monster that is completely contrary to human aesthetics, but at this time it is thinking like an engaged scholar, and the strange difference makes some prisoners unable to suppress their disgust anymore-
Or should it be said that he couldn't suppress his fear anymore, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
"Death to monsters!"
"Whoosh !!"
The bullet was fired into the flesh without any obstruction, and the traces of ballistics were visible to the naked eye to penetrate deep into the flesh.
Several prisoners were happy in their hearts, like those monsters before, this monster also looked terrifying, but its defense was not high.
An even denser rain of bullets came out of the muzzle, and in the blink of an eye, there were countless small honeycomb-like black holes on top of the lump of flesh.
"Hurry, hurry! Kill him! β
The prisoners shouted excitedly, but the faces of the Ragdoll Cats and Lucia Men changed instantly.
Oops!
Takuya Fujiwara raised his head: "The wind, it doesn't seem right?" β
He silently shifted his steps away from the prisoners.
"Puff~Puff~Puff~Puff~Puff~"
Strange and sticky sounds, bullets sink deep into the flesh one by one, and the monster that was thinking about it was awakened by the attack of the bullets, and its eyes, which were completely out of shape, seemed to move slightly downward.
The whites of the eyes spread out like an omelette, and the middle is a pitch-black pupil, without any human color, not even the anger of being attacked.
"You... New to the subject? β
"It's just in time, the lab bench is ready for you."
"Puff !!!!"
The deep hole in the flesh suddenly popped out, and the bullets inside were also bounced out, and countless bullets bounced back along the trajectory they had been fired into.
A rain of bullets that has been accumulating for a long time.
The excited roars of the prisoners instantly turned into screams, and several of those who were unfortunately shot through their heads exploded all over the ground along with their brains.
"This monster... The bullet did not penetrate his defenses? β
A big man looked at these screaming prisoners, and cold sweat flowed out instantly.
"That's not right!"
His face suddenly changed, and he looked at them with wide eyes: "Their bodies! β
With the speed at which the bullet bounced back just now, even if all of these prisoners were lucky enough to not die, they should be at least half dead, but in fact, except for the few unlucky ones who were shot in the head, all the prisoners just screamed miserably, but they were still jumping around with wounds.
He even saw that their wounds seemed to be wriggling.
He was not the only one who noticed this, the others were still in shock, and the Ragdoll had already drawn a dagger and slashed it over his arm without hesitation.
With the blood, a not-so-shallow bloody mouth appeared, but immediately the musculature at the wound squirmed.
"Sure enough, my experiment was correct!"
"That mirror, the world that communicates behind it, although mortals can't enter it, but the breath inside it can turn mortals into extraordinary!"
"But why can't you answer its call?"
"The voice of the underworld is calling to me, I hear it!"
"What the hell is missing?!"
The big hand like a millstone waved, and the monster entrenched on the ceiling danced excitedly.
Seeing that the wound on his arm healed as before, he even felt the organs and tissues in his body beating, but the expression of the ragdoll cat did not change much, and it was in his plan to become a monster from the beginning, but he didn't expect to become this kind of monster.
Looking down at the center of the laboratory, a quaint brass mirror was placed there, but the barrier outside that had been used to confine it had been destroyed, and in addition to that, there was a corpse in front of the brass mirror, a corpse wearing a priest's robe.
The Ragdoll cat knows the divine robe, which is a transcendent divine robe belonging to the Japanese Special Ministry, which means that the corpse belongs to a transcendent being.
"This madman! He activated this mirror with the sacrifice of the life of a transcendent? β
