Chapter 6 - A Gift for the Angel?
Chapter 6: A Gift for the Angel?
A humanoid figure measuring over six feet in height materialized in the sky projection. It appeared emaciated, lacking any visible muscles, and suffered from malnutrition. Its arms and body were strikingly disproportionate, each extending almost five feet long, accentuated by its pallid, paper-thin skin.
This strange creature huddled in a corner, covering its face and displaying extreme shyness.
“Whew, this fellow looks incredibly scary, sending shivers down my spine!”
“Surely, this can’t be a human, right? Human skin can’t possibly look like this; it’s as if it’s afflicted with a severe skin condition!”
“To be ranked as the ninth containment entity, could it be even more terrifying than the statue?”
The crowd buzzed with discussion. They had already witnessed the statue’s horror, and even the Demon Squad had been swiftly dispatched. But now, this seemingly harmless “Shy Guy” had a higher ranking than the statue.
[Containment Object Name: Shy Guy]. [Item Number: Anomaly-096]. [Item Class: Euclid]. [Item Description: The Shy Guy is generally very docile and spends most of its time pacing near walls.]. [However, when someone sees its face, whether directly, through video, or even through a photo (outside the range of the projected sky), it enters a severe state of distress.]. [The Shy Guy covers its face with its hands and starts screaming, crying, and emitting incomprehensible sounds.]. [Around 1-2 minutes after being observed, the Shy Guy will sprint towards the person or any living being that saw its face. Its speed ranges from 35 km/h to … km/h, seemingly dependent on the distance from Anomaly-096-1.]. [At this point, no known materials or methods can impede Anomaly-096’s advance.]. [The actual location of Anomaly-096-1 does not appear to affect Anomaly-096’s reaction; it seems to have an innate sense of Anomaly-096-1’s whereabouts.].Line by line, the text description appeared in the projected sky.
On the Dreadnought, General Duao’s face turned grave upon witnessing this. “General… a new containment object has emerged! This entity… It’s excessively horrifying! The statue from before only initiated pursuit upon eye contact, but this one causes death just through sight…”
“Gosh… why isn’t there a specified speed limit? Could this entity potentially exceed the speed of light?”
“Thank goodness the projected sky doesn’t encompass it. Otherwise… the entire world would face calamity.”
“According to our analysis, this Shy Guy takes 1-2 minutes to kill a target. Even if the whole world sees it, it would still require a considerable amount of time to eliminate us.”
At this moment, chaos reigned in the Southern Fleet Command Center. The statue’s appearance had already defied reason, and a new containment object had surfaced. It was almost unbearable.
“Old Bean! The situation in Yunshan is now secure. The containment object… was taken away by individuals resembling Foundation members,” Du Qiangwei’s voice came through the communicator.
After the statue’s capture, the surrounding electromagnetic field returned to normal, allowing communication.
“Qiangwei, take a look at the sky… hurry back. Humanity may be facing a major crisis,” General Duao’s voice quivered.
This so-called Shy Guy could be considered a world-ending disaster if the text description was accurate!
Pursued and killed just by being seen?
How can anyone survive such a threat?
Outside the Yunshan Base, Du Qiangwei, her battle armor slightly damaged, gazed upward at the sky. Her expression shifted slightly.
The Shy Guy’s appearance was undeniably strange and matched the written description. Now, no one questioned the words displayed in the projected sky, thanks to the statue that had already proven it. If she hadn’t recalled the statue’s description and the need for direct eye contact, Du Qiangwei might have lost her life here inside the Demon Castle.
“Beichi! Another containment object? As if the Queen hasn’t caused me enough trouble! But this thing seems interesting. Does it kill just by being seen? Why doesn’t it come and try to kill the Queen then?”
The Demon Queen, Morgana, who had just wiped out the Demon Squad, was a bit frustrated. She had finally escaped from the angels and made it to Earth. After much effort, she had trained a group of elite soldiers and was about to use intercontinental missiles to spread her demonic virus, spreading evil worldwide. But now, everything was ruined. She had to start from scratch.
“Queen, the projection suggests we won’t be pursued if seen,” Atot reminded from the side.
“Beichi! Do you think I’m blind? Do I need you to remind me?” Morgana exclaimed, smashing a cup, leaving Atot to endure.
“Queen… if the projection is accurate, and if this Shy Guy is truly that powerful, what if we obtain its photograph…”
“Beichi! Do you want to die? I worked so hard to revive you, and you want to die? Then go ahead!”
“No, Queen… what if we can’t send it to… that group of angelic Beichi?”
“Send it to the angels? Are you… huh? Hahaha, hahaha~That makes sense! Atot, you’ve been following me for thousands of years, and today is the day you’ve become enlightened! If we can give Kaisa that Beichi such a nice gift and let the Shy Guy pursue her, then wouldn’t it be…”
“Everyone, listen to me, keep an eye on this Shy Guy, see where it appears, and be the first to obtain a photograph of this creature!”
“Hahaha~ My dear sister, my little sister must be longing for your demise. I’ll give you a wonderful gift later!” Morgana laughed excitedly.
