The Core of Evil
Security Control Protocol: Initiation
I'm sick of
Every time I tried to be calm, my anger rose to the top again
I just felt comfortable, thinking that this place would be a good home for all of us
But the savage creature suddenly appeared and tried to ruin the picture. And he's not a weak Maledict either
"Third recruit in the Maledict food chain. The Maledict of Control..."
{ Maledict who relied on yarn as his weapon. Having the ability to control someone with weaker mental strength than him using those threads. The victim will be immediately put into unconsciousness, as he slowly begins to fuse with the Maledict
Once fused, the victim would fully become a puppet so that his body turned into wood. Having been tested with more research, the wood is a material that can not be found anywhere in this corner of the universe, except from the body of the Malict of Control doll
For more information, visit the link I'm sending you. You can see the entire database of this Fleet through }
This fleet has a personal database website?
{ But connect your HP first to the lab area 'it' for security and identity authentication. Check also information about Maledict of Nova}
This situation is very troubling...
Uh-uh?
I was surprised by Noah and Raggot who looked uneasy while walking quickly towards me from a hallway, so I stayed where I was waiting for them to arrive
"Th-g!"
"GST!" I immediately cut off Noah who was about to call my name
Huh... This brat...
"Spani. Don't say my name for now. The chairman purposely named our code so that Control can't listen to us"
Noah was jolted, immediately scratching his head violently because he almost made a mistake
"Where are you going?" He also asked
"Lab belongs to Mind. Security authentication"
"You haven't done it this long??"
"Oh yeah sure! If anyone reminds me to do it, hm??"
He immediately turned his face away as he clicked his tongue
Then, why is Raggot here?
When I looked at him, he just looked back at me
"... Any need, Force?"
If not wrong, that's his name. Hera sent me another email that contained everyone's code name, and I've been quick reading through the entire contents
My name code has also been created
"Proteans. Spines. Waiting" he said
...
Spines. That's Hector's code name
"I'll come see him after authentication"
Raggot nodded in understanding, and began to look at Noah
Noah inexplicably clicked his tongue, before the two asked me to go somewhere
It looks like the two of them will start training
Alright. I better hurry up too. Hector is waiting
...----------------...
{{{ 8:47 PM }}}
{ Maledict of Control has a weapon in the form of thin threads that he can produce in his body so that it can be considered an anomaly. The thread can be elongated or shortened, sometimes having their own thoughts while looking for prey to attach and be made into dolls
This maledict has a habit of nesting like a spider. And just like a spider, if a fly is not carefully near its nest, they can get caught in that very obvious and deadly trap
The main threat of this Maledict was not his strength, but his numbers. The more puppets he had obtained, the more dangerous he became. And seeing that the planet Lantrophe has been destroyed, the approach to Maledict is expected to be vigilant at the highest level
This Maledict is weak to someone with a very strong mentality. Also, he would not be able to control someone if he did not know their real name. It is expected that the original identity in the physical form of the personnel immediately destroyed first and stored in the database with the safest proxy }
...
I've guessed. This is why the chairman used a code name to call us
The other information from Corruption is only filled by some videos and footage of the events of his attacks from some people I don't recognize. Some showed amateur videos being recorded and captured the moment someone fell inside Maledict's control
That person started attacking everyone around him. Whether old or young, he was indiscriminate as the knife he was holding slashed at all the unfortunate victims. Plus, the guy didn't look happy. He looked tormented, as if something was forcing him physically to attack others around him...
Poor people who don't know what their fate is now. They may have been made puppets by the evil Maledict
"He won't be able to control someone if he doesn't know their real name"
Real name. Means to me, O-2507
But I'd better hide Arthur's or Azure's name, because Control probably already knows who it's going to lead to. Who knows, those two names can be used as weapons by him if he finds out
Unbeknownst to me, my feet finally managed to take me to the area requested by Hector to meet him: The training simulation area
If not wrong, this afternoon he said that the room was number 3
Ah yes, right. He was there, waiting for me along with Pinky and Fuyuki
The three of them looked uneasy because of this incident, although they did not try to show it clearly
"She, Flair, Spine. Sorry to keep you waiting"
"It's okay, Protean-sama. We were just having a small discussion" Fuyuki replied
"And we were confused as to what to do, Protean..." Pinky added
"Why? Where's the usual dumb Shape?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood
"still here. But, I just feel, if now's not the right time"
Ah...
Big mouth. I feel like I want to rip it off now that I've said something I shouldn't...
"Ignore that. We must immediately share the information" Hector interrupted, immediately turning towards me. "Tell me what you already know, Protean"
I also thrust my HP screen for them to see
"I've looked at all the data Mind has provided, except for the Maledict of Nova. Authentication has also been done, so I can safely check it at any time"
Hera said, if anyone else tries to unlock my HP lock screen other than me personally, the database will immediately lock itself with several layers of firewall and other security
They have very sophisticated security
"You can ignore the Maledict of Nova information for a while. And because of that, we need to train you now"
Heh-h?
...
...
Ahahaha...!! I'll die of exhaustion!
"It's better so than to die without a fight with Control"
"Ughs. Stop reading my mind..."
He suddenly walked to the back of my body, and began to hold my head for me to sit on the ground
Not wanting him to keep pressing my head, I sat down as he took his hand off
Am I upset? Sure
I wish I could hit him in the face right now...!
"The chairman said..." Hector suddenly spoke, making me refocus. "... If you really are the key to our victory against Control" he added, while taking a bottle of hand sanitizer and spraying it into his hand that just held my head
...
That phrase...
"I...?"
"Yes. You"
I expected it, but because the words from our chairman at the meeting made me feel that I was not needed...
"Because you have the power of Corruption, you are our only hope for a large-scale attack. The number of Control dolls is now very much. And..."
She was then seen putting on a pair of gloves, making me wonder why while I was staring at Pinky and Fuyuki
"Spine has Germaphobia" Pinky replied with a raised shoulder, plus a nod from Fuyuki
Ah...
"Focus, Protean. I want you to focus..."
He held my head from two sides, and made me look into his eyes that somehow, his pupils seemed to be spinning like that spiral
"Focus and don't let yourself fall asleep the way I want. That way, you will be ready to enter the void of consciousness within your body..."
His eye... Keep turning...
His eye...
...
L'm...
Wait for...
L'm...
...
I-i didn't...
We mustn't...
*!!!*
The loud noise immediately made my head force itself to refresh. And when Hector had removed his grip, I immediately closed both ear holes while falling to the floor
Damn...!! He didn't even-Warn...!!!
"You failed. Get up and do it again"
"Give me a warning...!!"
"No. This is part of your training"
Ugh...!!!
My head will explode if this happens more than once...!!
"Flair. Now give him some coffee" Hector asked
"Finally, there's good treatment from you!" I sniffly said after returning to sitting normally
The coffee that Fuyuki handed over was instantly kurampas and I gulped it out. I gave the glass back as I began to act ready to receive the practice again
Hector again held my head from both sides and began to do the same as before
And the second time, I started to almost fall asleep again, so Hector had to use that loud echo to refresh my head
"Grabbing"
Third time...
"Grabbing"
Fourth time
"Grabbing"
Fifth time, six, seven, eight...
"Grabbing"
And finally, on the 29th try...
After I tried to force myself to stay awake thinking about the pain of Hector's echo attack, 8 minutes I felt tense without being hypnotized, Hector finally took both of his hands off me while I started to take a breath and let out a cold sweat
My head was completely soaked in that sweat, as I tried too hard
But I finally succeeded. So care what?
It's just...
"Now..." Hector said, to my surprise. "Determine which one I am the real one"
...
Whahuh?
What the-what?
When I looked ahead, I was struck by something I had no idea about
In front of me that...
There are 3 Hectors...
All three have the same posture and posture. I can't tell the difference at all
And when they talk...
"Quick, differentiate"
All three... Talk at the same time...
