Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 423



Only Noblemtl

Screams of fear came through the speakers inside the helmet. Common also tried to give orders quickly.

‘You’re here’

If only it weren’t for the orders I heard in my head.

“Why again… Ugh?!?”

When he came to his senses, he dropped the plasma rifle he was holding onto the floor without realizing it.

The hallway that had been perfectly fine until just a moment ago was reduced to ruins in an instant. The walls and ceiling showed traces of plasma melting, and the floor was littered with corpses with their limbs torn off.

“Oh, no! What I did was….”

‘Come here’

Before he knew it, he was in the elevator. He could see the numbers on the location indicator changing rapidly.

“Hey, stop it!”

“Ding. Basement 4. The door opens.”

The elevator doors opened with a cheerful alarm. His body stepped out of its own accord, regardless of his will.

‘This way’

A hand that had escaped control removed the helmet from his head. His face was enveloped in a thick humidity and a foul smell that made it hard to believe he was inside a terraforming facility.

There, the owner of the white hand was waiting for Common.

“Fuck, shit! This is my body! No one can control me!”

The elevator doors are about to close. The lights are also going out.

It wasn’t hard to guess what would happen if that light went out. Common muttered madly.

“This is my body! This is my body! This is my body! This is my body!”

“It’s been a while.”

The pale figure in front of him whispers to him.

No, to be exact, it’s whispering to ‘something’ inside his head.

“This is my body. This is my body…”

The door closed. The cyborg’s voice also died down.

“I felt good after a long time of stepping on the ground… Nimi.”

A building with lights flickering uneasily. A pirate with a scar on his face looked out the window and swore.

Through the window, several transport ships can be seen staggering and barely landing.

The city they are currently in is in the middle of a huge storm.

“When did those guys who went to fix the terraforming machines finish?”

“If we handle it quickly, it will probably be over by tomorrow.”

“Whew. Two weeks in space sucked, and now it’s fucking shit here too.”

It is very dangerous to ride a walker or go out in this weather without wearing a protective suit.

It is safe to remain inside the building until all terraforming machines are repaired.

Of course, the pirates who had come down to the surface after a long time were not happy with this situation.

Their anger was rising as quickly as the amount of synthetic drugs they had been diligently inhaling.

“The executives said that as soon as the repairs are done, we will prepare for hunting.”

“Ready? No way?”

“Oh. I came here to catch a fucking monster.

“Fuck.”

“Damn it. I was wondering why you were moving so much. Phew!”

The pirate, looking out the rain-covered window, spat on the floor.

The other pirates who saw that sight clicked their tongues.

“Hey, this is fucking real.”

“I gave that kid something expensive and he spit it out.”

They shook their heads and took long drags from their drug-laced e-cigarettes.

Although their senses were being damaged in real time by the toxic hallucinogen, no one cared.

“But it’s a bit strange.”

“Why are you being so annoying again?”

“No, look at this. We were fucking around in space two weeks ago, and we haven’t even sold the body yet.”

“I guess it’s because there’s a use for it.”

“Are you trying to have sex with a corpse?”

“Oh my, that corpse-scum.”

“Why have these crazy kids been acting like this since a while ago?”

As the drugged pirates were chattering away, the door opened.

A pirate wearing a soaking wet suit came inside.

The new visitors were from a different cartel than theirs.

So everyone was ignoring him, but one person spoke to him.

“Wait a minute. Are you the kid who works at Shinoni?”

“Yes. Why is that?”

“Are there any good places to go around here?”

“Of course there is.

“Shall I take you there?”

It was a question that suddenly occurred to me, but I got an unexpected answer.

“Is there anywhere I can go in this weather?”

“If you tell anyone that you’re going to ride a walker, they’ll probably get in trouble.”

“You don’t have to worry.

“It’s an underground facility.”

“underground?”

“Yes. It’s an underground gambling hall connected to the sewer.

“You can have fun with your slaves as well as gambling.”

Everyone’s faces brightened at those words.

“Give me the directions right away.”

“Please follow me.”

Shinoni’s organization members guided the pirates into the building.

I followed him and found a black iron gate.

As the agent opened the door, a dark underground passage appeared.

“Was there a basement in this building?”

“I don’t think I saw it when I came in earlier.”

“This way.”

The pirates walked along the damp passageway behind the headlight-equipped crew.

“What the heck! What is that smell?”

“Yes, it is an abandoned sewer.

“I heard that it was mainly used by soldiers working here.”

“Soldiers? Were they on some kind of mission or something?”

“No way. He must have sneaked out to go to the casino.”

“Anyway, you fucking Megacorp retards.”

Whether it was true that it was an abandoned sewer or not, a foul smell emanated from everywhere.

The stench was so foul, as if hundreds of corpses were rotting away, that it was hard to bear even though I was on drugs.

In addition, there was a lot of sticky mud-like substance on the floor.

Everyone walked carefully because they might end up in a bad situation if they accidentally fell.

“Hey, is this really abandoned? Is there no sewage flowing in or anything?”

“We’ve been here several times, but that’s never happened.”

“Oh my, if I fall down….”

The pirate, who was about to say something big, kept his mouth shut.

Someone was standing in the dark hallway.

“What the heck…?!”

“it’s okay.

“These are my friends.”

Two pirates wearing reinforced suits appeared in the direction of the headlights.

They came up silently and stood next to the organization members.

“We decided to meet here.

“We were planning to go to the casino together.”

The leader of the organization spoke as if nothing had happened and started off again.

“… … .”

However, the pirates following them could not be left alone.

Waiting in this sewer without any lights, even though I could use the headlight attached to my helmet.

Even to those under the influence of drugs, the situation was clearly suspicious.

The pirates following behind cautiously approached their weapons.

“Hey. It’s really quiet for a place like this where we’re supposed to meet up.”

“No one has much to say.”

“Well, I think a little differently. It’s not that you don’t speak, but rather that you can’t speak.”

“yes?”

The member of the organization in the lead heard those words and slowly turned around.

“Are you doubting us?”

“I heard there are still remnants of separatists. Can you guarantee that you are not terrorists?”

“If I were a terrorist, I would have attacked you already. Would I have stayed still until you came here?”

“I don’t know. Maybe they’re trying to lure us.”

“That’s right. There are a lot more of them here, so they’re bringing you to a place like this to stab you in the back of the head.”

The pirates aimed their weapons while talking. Shinoni’s members just looked at them without saying a word.

“Let’s talk about the details when we get out there. Hands up.”

“… … .”

“You’re treating us like fools… What the?”

Then suddenly the member of the organization started shaking.

“What a crazy kid. Are you laughing right now?”

Soon the pirates realized that their opponents were laughing.

The guy laughed so hard that he seemed to be having so much fun.

The two of his colleagues didn’t say a word from the moment they first met, they just stood there quietly.

“Fuck, put your hands up!”

“I will kill you!”

The pirates’ shouts echoed in the thick darkness.

There was fear mixed in that cry.

They were the ones holding weapons, but they were overwhelmed by this strange atmosphere.

The crew members who were shaking and laughing as the pirate shouted suddenly stopped laughing.

The man slowly moved both hands towards his head.

“Hey, don’t move!”

“I’m going to take my helmet off.”

“Don’t move!”

Contrary to their words, they couldn’t shoot.

Because I had a bad feeling about it.

It seemed like something terrible was going to happen if we started shooting.

The guy must have expected this too, as he took off his helmet without hesitation.

The headlights illuminate his face.

The scars and messy beard here and there make him no different from the pirates here.

“I am neither a separatist nor a pirate of Shinoni.

I just… .”

The fellows next to him also took off their helmets.

The moment they saw the revealed face, the pirates froze.

The face illuminated by the light was anything but human.

Beneath the pale, tired skin, countless things were writhing.

“Just a messenger.”

The headlights went out and the leather-clad figures charged at the pirates.

In the pitch-black darkness, the light from the energy bullet flashed and then quickly died down.

After that, the sound of a school of fish gorging on a piece of meat filled the sewer.

–

“Boss, I have transported all the items you brought.”

“okay.”

Two pirates were talking in a room cluttered with expensive items.

He was the leader of Ventress and his superior, Shinoni.

“I hope there weren’t any problems during unloading?”

“The quantity was a bit large, but I monitored it thoroughly, so there were no problems.”

“Thanks to you being so thorough, it took a long time to unload the cargo.”

“Ahem, that’s….”

Ventress bowed her head at the leader’s harsh words.

The boss, who had been glaring at his subordinates from his antique mahogany chair, waved his hand after a while.

“Okay. There are more important things than your treatment right now, so let’s move on.”

“thank you.”

“The item I brought this time, according to Sutherland, was something that the General had a hard time obtaining. There can be no mistake in preparing it.”

“Are you talking about the commander?”

At those words, Ventress looked slightly surprised.

“What the heck is that thing? I saw it briefly while unloading, and it looked like some kind of spaceship part.”

“You don’t know. Just keep an eye on it so no trouble arises.”

“You need to know what it is so you can be careful not to get into trouble.

“If you could just tell me a little bit….”

“hmm.”

Shinoichi’s leader, Sutherland, emphasized several times that it was an extremely valuable item.

What I’m saying is that you have to protect your belongings no matter what.

If so, as Ventress said, it would be easier to manage if you at least knew what the item was.

After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to tell at least a little.

“I don’t know for sure because I didn’t hear it correctly, but I heard it’s some kind of warp finder.”

“Warp finder? You mean the device used to track ships?”

Ventress looked at the leader with a puzzled expression.

The Warp Finder is a device that analyzes the flow of energy generated by superluminal travel.

Although it is expensive, it is not so rare that it can be said to be extremely rare.

The leader, who had read his subordinate’s thoughts, added a word.

“That’s no ordinary warp finder.”

“yes?”

“It’s a prototype model secretly developed by Star Union. There are less than ten people in this universe who know of its existence.”

“Oh, really? I didn’t know it was such a precious item.”

“He said he deliberately disassembled it into parts and brought it in because he was worried that information would be leaked. Only the commander knows how to assemble it and how to operate it.”

“indeed.”

“Anyway, if you know, be careful. Got it?”

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

That was the end of the conversation.

After Ventress left, the boss leaned back in his chair.

All the miscellaneous tasks for operational preparation were left to the deputy chief.

All he has to do now is wait.

“Where then… .”

The boss got up from his seat and pulled out a bottle of liquor from the liquor cabinet.

“It’s Olympus 12 Year Old. It’s not the kind of wine a mere security team leader would buy.”

The previous owner of this room was the one in charge of the security system for the research complex.

It was thanks to his help that Ventress and his men were able to occupy this place so easily.

He left AG-01 immediately after dealing with the pirates.

Leaving all these good things behind.

“Where can I get a taste… huh?”

He was about to pour the ownerless drink when he looked at his palm and frowned.

This was because there was some sticky black mucus on the hand holding the bottle.

“Tsk, is that mold?”

After roughly rubbing the spilled substance on my pants and wiping it off, I opened the lid.

Judging from the fragrant smell rising, the contents seemed to be intact.

“The contents seem okay.”

I took a sip and the taste was fine.

This ecstatic and toxic scent spread through my mouth, making my legs lose their strength.

“… This is the end.”

From that point on, he started to drink the precious liquor recklessly.

The boss received expensive genetic modification surgery with credits provided by the general.

So, even if you drink strong alcohol, you don’t get drunk easily.

At that time, while I was drinking alcohol like water,

There was a sound outside the door.

“Khuh… Who is it?”

I called, but the only answer I got was silence.

I thought I had misheard and was about to drink again, when I heard the sound again.

“!”

This time I listened carefully.

The sound heard outside was definitely the laughter of a child.

The boss opened the door, holding a weapon in his hand instead of a bottle of liquor.

A long corridor stretched out under the light of a lamp. At the end of it was the culprit who made the noise.

“Huh? What are you?”

The young wolf with the jackal head did not answer and disappeared around the corner.

This entire building is under strict guard by Shinoni pirates.

This is not a place where a young wolf can come and go as he pleases.

Besides, that Wolf who just disappeared, he looks familiar.

I’m sure I’ve seen it recently, but I can’t remember.

‘I have to chase after him first…’

Whatever it is, just grab it and ask about it.

The leader chased the intruder with nimble steps.

As he rounded the corner, he saw Wolf coming down the stairs.

He immediately followed the bastard down into the basement.

Whether he had turned off the lights or not, the lower floor was pitch black, unlike the upper floor.

But he had a body transplanted with useful genes. He could distinguish objects even in spaces with little light.

Skillfully moving through the darkness, he quickly caught up with his opponent.

“Stop.”

At the leader’s words, the little fugitive stopped in his tracks.

“Where did you come from?”

Instead of answering, the guy slowly turned around.

‘huh?’

When I looked at the other person’s face, something came to mind.

A few weeks ago, the boss went to a planet with another cartel.

There, the female he killed while playing with it looked similar to that wolf.

“Do you know me?” “… … .”

Instead of answering, the little wolf just glared at him.

Looking at those resentful eyes, it was clear.

“Ha. I don’t know how I got here, but… Huh?!”

Just as he was about to say that this was the bastard’s grave, a strong shock struck him.

The body floating in the air hit a nearby wall.

“Keep, keaaaak!”

The boss screamed, unable to bear the pain that was surging through him.

A golden skewer pierced his right shoulder, hanging him from the wall.

“How does it feel to experience the pain you inflicted on children firsthand?”

“Fuck… Aaaah!”

The boss tried to counterattack by switching his weapon to his left hand, but this time he failed again.

Because the foreleg of the beast that jumped out of the darkness crushed my left arm.

Even though he tried to escape using his enhanced muscle strength, the beast’s forelegs did not move at all.

Instead, he crushed his arm and sternum with much more overwhelming force.

Two amber lights appeared in front of him as he writhe in pain.

“Euuuuuu!”

“Some children were killed by cutting off their arms and legs, and some were burned on skewers. I enjoyed listening to their screams.”

What I thought was light was actually snow.

The eyes of a beast several times larger than an adult male.

“I want to kill you right now, but….”

The sharp beak protruding between the two eyes stopped just before it could stab the leader’s neck.

The beast removed its beak and forelegs and slowly backed away.

“Kuheuk!”

‘Are you alive?’

The beast spoke before him, breathing heavily.

“Death would rather be salvation to a scourge like you.”

I was relieved to have survived, but the wall behind me suddenly moved.

Black vine-like things shot out and wrapped around my body, pulling me towards the wall.

“You have to suffer more.”

“Wait a minute… Kuhuh!”

With his mouth tied shut, he was sucked into the liquefied wall without even being able to resist.
