Ep. 81

｢The 'Radio Interference' characteristic has been applied.｣

｢Can be combined with the existing 'Dexterity'.｣

｢The 'Radio Interference' and 'Dexterity' characteristics are fused. Evolves with the 'Hijacking' trait! ｣

｢Hijacking: Inherits the effect of the radio interference trait. You can control electronic devices within 10 meters for a short period of time. Can only be used on one device at a time and cannot be used on cyborgs.

PS: In the space age, humans who cannot use machines are no better than primitive people."

When the newly acquired fusion trait was applied, a mutation occurred in the body.

The area where the change occurred was the back.

It had nothing on its back other than wings and two arms with bone blades.

New organs were created in places that were just filled with a hard shell.

Two rows of thin bone plates grew along the spine. Bone plates protrude from the back just up to the point where the thorn hairs grow at the end of the tail.

The appearance of the corrugated plate was uneven and rough, and its color was dark black.

Because it was so black that it even absorbed light, it looked as if it had pieces of refined obsidian on its back rather than bone plates.

Metallic Gremlin originally had this ability as a passive ability, but when Amorph absorbed it, it was reborn in a completely different form.

This corrugated plate alone can cause malfunctions in devices in the immediate surrounding area.

'Should I try it out?'

It's a feature I've used many times in games, but this is my first time in real life.

I was half prone and focused on feeling my back. As I applied strength to my back, as when doing spinal exercises, the bone plates began to tremble.

｢Tsutsutsutsu｣

The corrugated plates come into contact and make a strange sound.

At first glance, the sound seemed like the sound of cicadas from far away.

It was a very small and faint sound, but there was an ominous note inside it that was fundamentally different from normal animal sounds.

If the average person continues to hear this sound, it is a dissonant sound that will most likely make them feel bad.

However, the true value of corrugated plates is not the noise that makes people uncomfortable.

Thanks to the symbol of hunting, I can feel much stronger than before.

Waves that cause machine failure are flowing out from the corrugated plate.

If there was someone here who could read the flow or waves of electricity, they would have been able to see what was going on in my bones.

As the waves created by the cardboard crying spread around, the lights in the freezer began to turn off one by one.

"Ahh!"

"Everyone calm down!"

"I can't see anything!"

The researchers screamed as the freezer was suddenly plunged into darkness.

'Next is hijacking.'

No movement of the male cult was detected within the confines of my extremely developed auxiliary organs.

In order to complete the experiment before he arrived, I focused my senses on the terminal next to the freezer door.

The auxiliary organs and bone plates work together to find control signals coming from somewhere above among the fine electrical signals flowing through the terminal.

The wavelength that finally finds the target becomes sharp scissors and cuts the control signal.

The waves were then tuned to mimic the control signal. This is to replace the cut off control signal.

As the wave became the new control signal, information about terminal control flowed into my auxiliary organs.

'Open sesame.'

With my words, the door to the freezer opened.

As the name suggests, the hijacking feature has the effect of 'robbing' control of electronic devices.

Originally, you had to authenticate with an ID card to enter the door, but not now.

Because I have control over the door.

If you have this trait, it is also possible to steal a spaceship.

'Of course, the time limit is short, so it's difficult to actually use it.'

The time may have been extended thanks to the hunting symbol effect, but the original time to take control through hijacking was 3 minutes.

Because the control time is short, hijacking is ironically used for purposes other than spacecraft hijacking.

'It's perfect for undercover sabotage.'

When moving without being caught by the camera or encountering an enemy in close combat or mid-range, you can destroy the opponent's weapon without even touching it.

'That's it for the new characteristic testing.'

I relaxed my back.

As the waves flowing from the bone plate disappeared, the characteristic effect was canceled and everything returned to normal.

'The conditions for the transcendental system were satisfied.'

But I have no intention of making it right now.

There are two reasons.

'I don't know which unique characteristic will come out first.'

The unique characteristic created through the transcendence system is a completely new characteristic that does not exist before.

Since it is a unique characteristic, the effect will be very powerful, but the problem is that it is not known what characteristic it will be.

'Plus, you have to consider the penalty as well.'

When I got the complete organism, the wings and mimicry organs were banned.

Aside from the wings, the mimicry organ was a feature that was actively used when hunting in the city.

Because they were banned, I had to completely revise my existing method of attacking the city.

'I don't know what kind of penalty there will be for this unique characteristic.'

If you are unlucky, you may be banned from features that you frequently use, such as parasitic colonies or neurotoxin glands.

So you need to decide carefully.

'On the other hand, the hijacking characteristic helps in attacking the monument right away.'

It goes without saying how great it would be to have the ability to counter electronic devices in this skyscraper full of high-tech devices.

'Originally, I planned to attack slowly with parasites, but…'

Now that there is hijacking, the scope of the operation has become much wider.

It is a great advantage to not have to be afraid of cameras and other surveillance devices.

'good. 'Transcendence characteristics are on hold until it is safe.'

After making a decision, I stood up.

I can feel the presence of people in the hallway in front of the freezer.

'We have to prepare to welcome guests.'

The researchers flinched when I turned around.

There is still work for them to do.

–

Male Cult Andre is a cult member who moved to Megacorp with his colleague Anna.

Just as Megacorp was a battleground for seven families, the cult had been suffering from internal strife for a long time.

All of the cult members working at Monument, including Andre, came to Megacorp because they could not bear to see their compatriots fighting bitterly.

"Ugh, I'm so sick of going there and here."

However, where there is an intelligent being, there is no way there will be no fight.

Although Andre is an outsider, he knows what is going on here.

They call themselves a board of directors or something grandiose, but in reality, it is nothing more than an ugly battleground where they try to satisfy each other's greed.

Although he changed his name when he immigrated as a child, he had doubts about whether it was right for him to continue working in this city.

"What trouble is this because of these barbaric monkeys? Tsk."

He clicked his tongue and got off the elevator.

Just past this hallway is the refrigerated storage area.

He waved at the camera in the hallway as he passed.

Andre felt a little better when he thought about his compatriot Anna.

'Now that I think about it, Jennet, let's talk and leave.'

When I thought of my fellow countrymen, a coworker I used to work with came to mind.

She suddenly submitted her resignation letter before the board meeting and disappeared.

"Well, he was a really good friend… huh?"

As Andre was walking down the hallway, he felt something strange.

The hallway, with its bright silver metal plates laid out in an orderly manner, was as usual.

However, the plain appearance of the hallway felt unfamiliar to Andre.

An inexplicable sense of heterogeneity fills the space.

'What is this?'

If he had continued to live in a cult nature, he would have easily known what he was feeling.

It was a warning.

"Why is it so cold?"

Andre walked slowly down the hallway, holding his arms full of flesh.

Arriving in front of the freezer at the end of the hallway, he took out the 3rd Central Management Office Master Card.

When the door opened with a short mechanical sound, a chill that was incomparable to before poured out.

"Wow, it's so cold."

Although it was extremely cold, the air conditioning itself seemed to be fine.

Upon entering the archive, he called researchers.

"Hey!"

There was no answer back.

He sensed that the situation was serious and quickly picked up the communicator.

"This is Andre from the 3rd Central Management Office! Can you hear me?"

｢Tsutsutsutsutsu｣

"Andre, 3rd Central Management Office. An abnormal situation occurred. this…!"

There was no response from the communicator other than static.

Andre was about to go outside to signal the camera when he heard a noise nearby.

"Who is there?"

"Ugh…."

"Are you a researcher?"

"Ugh!"

The sound was actually a human male groaning in pain.

Andre moved according to the sound.

Under a blue light reminiscent of ice, corpses hung from metal rings on the ceiling. Fragments of living creatures were left carelessly on a metal table.

It was a sight that sent chills down even Andre, who was not human.

Finally, as he passed the stainless steel table where the large creature was lying face down, the sight of two people caught his eye.

One person was lying covered in blood, and another researcher was kneeling next to him.

He was stopping the bleeding of a fallen colleague with an expression on his face that he didn't know what to do.

"omg! Are you okay?"

The floor and the researcher's hands were completely covered in blood.

Andre swallowed a groan and quickly picked up the communicator and attempted to communicate again.

The communicator was still making noises, and the researcher on his knees asked for help.

"Please help us!"

In response to the researcher's urgent request for help, Andre hurriedly approached him and checked on the fallen researcher.

"There is so much bleeding! "We need to go up to the hospital above right away!"

From Andre's perspective, the collapsed researcher was in very critical condition.

The communicator was completely destroyed.

'The wound is too big to be moved right away.'

Andre pressed the researcher's wound in an attempt to somehow stop the bleeding.

"I'll be watching, so hurry up and get the others…"

He shouted to his fellow researchers to quickly go out and call a paramedic.

However, the researcher behind him did not move. The answer he heard from behind was completely different from what he expected.

"Umm, I'm sorry…"

"Yes?"

Andre questioned the researcher's unexpected apology.

At that moment, the large creature lying on the table behind him stirred.

–

"When did he leave and still not come?"

Anna, who was sitting in the management office, picked up the communicator.

It's been a few minutes since I went down, but I want to call a colleague who hasn't answered.

It was only after the beep sounded for a long time that my colleague picked it up.

"Why don't you take it like this? "What's going on down there?"

"Nothing like that. "Come right up."

"Really? But this communicator is a bit strange? The noise keeps coming. "Get tested when you come up."

"Yes."

The communication ended and Anna checked the camera again.

The hallway in front of the freezer.

While I was waiting for my colleague to come out, the camera screen suddenly became greatly distorted.

"what?"

I hit the monitor lightly and the screen returned to normal.

However, as to what was wrong, the camera screens were distorted one by one, and the process of being restored was repeated.

"Why is this like this?"

Annoyed, Anna grabbed the communicator to contact the facilities team.

As she was about to press the call button, the camera screen blinked loudly once and then returned to normal.

"what?"

The hallway on the screen was the same as before.

But Anna definitely saw it.

Just before the screen was restored, a black object passed by beyond the screen.

'What was it?'

Anna put down the communicator and operated the computer.

Eventually, the records from the error until recovery were output in the form of a hologram in the air.

Anna lined up the holograms and looked at them closely.

The bright silver corridors captured by the camera appeared to be completely blank.

No, except for one place.

"What is this?"

There was something small in the corner of the screen. It resembled a long, pointed thorn.

The thorns appeared in common on all screens, although their positions were slightly different.

Just as Anna was about to bring her face closer to the camera to take a closer look at it. Behind

the beep

, I heard the sound of a terminal checking a Master Card.

There is only one person who will come to the 3rd Central Management Office at this time.

It was my colleague Andre who went down to take a look.

"What are you doing now?"

Anna, who was about to turn around and say something, stopped when a sudden thought occurred to her.

'So, I didn't see anything on the camera?'

Even as she was reviewing the records, the camera was still rolling.

None of the footage shows Andre coming here.

The door opened with the sound of air escaping
