I Became an Evolving Space Monster - Chapter 260

Ep. 260

‘A mirror.’

I picked up the bloody mirror fragment. An image of a spider-like monster appeared on the cracked surface of the mirror and then turned hazy.

The ‘mimetic organ’ strengthened by the ‘shape ruler’ is not captured properly on camera. This is because pheromones and psychic power are sprayed together from micropores spread throughout the body, disrupting advanced machines so that they cannot be properly detected.

Thanks to this, even if the camera takes a picture of me, the light is reflected incorrectly and the picture appears blurry. Of course, that part can be solved with ‘Gremlin Moss’, which can be spread in the form of a mist thanks to ‘Great Infectious Agent’. Gremlin moss that breaks down machines can disable the camera.

‘Of course, if you use this often, you’ll get caught.’

It’s something that can be resolved if I control it well, so it’s not a big risk factor. More than that, the problem is the mirror. There is no way to solve the problem of what is reflected in the mirror.

‘But how many times can you get caught with a mirror?’

The organ of mimicry gives a sense of discomfort to the other person. He is well over 20m tall and imitates a human being less than 1/10th his size, so of course he is.

However, the cyborg named GidQ that I captured this time did not feel any strangeness in my appearance. This is because pheromones and psychic power work dually, perfectly embodying the ‘green-haired pirate’ he remembered.

‘Unfortunately, the item cannot be implemented.’

Although the performance of the mimicry organ itself improved, its fundamental limitations were unavoidable.

Even at the slave market I visited before coming to Kesha Arma, it wasn’t as easy as cheating. There was a time when I wore a mimicry device and went around pretending to be a pirate, but I got caught because I didn’t have a weapon.

The reason he noticed me this time was because I didn’t have a flashlight. I can’t help but be suspicious because they say they are going to find an item in a dark place without any search equipment.

The camera appears to have fog, and when fooling people, it is impossible to completely fool their clothes. These two are the weaknesses of the enhanced mimicry system.

Of course, it is already much better than the mimicry system in the game. Hoping for things to get better here would be greed.

“Still, it was a fun experiment. Besides, I’m glad you’re helpful.”

I licked the blood off the mirror. Then the bug monster sitting on the wing arm began to wriggle.

It has six legs with claws, a body that is a mixture of a mantis and a fly, and two wings on its back. If you look at it up to this point, it is no different from a regular bug monster. Except for one thing.

“ ■■■!”

An adult male’s head replaces an insect’s head and makes uninterpretable sounds. The man’s face looks very similar to the pirate I just caught.

Cyborg GidQ became a human being bound by my will.

Originally, I thought about controlling them as parasites rather than catching them and eating them. However, he requested support on his own without me even asking him to do so.

‘Then there’s no need to leave him behind.’

It’s ironic. He may have acted quickly to save his life, but it shortened his life.

‘Is it time for his colleague to come?’

I called out to the minions scattered around me.

‘A guest is coming. Be ready to meet them.’

My will is obeyed by loyal servants who believe that listening to my commands is their only happiness. They began hiding in abandoned buildings to carry out a surprise attack.

‘There are five parasites left.’

Those who want to serve Me are coming here.

“You have work to do.”

As the voice of the cult once called Jason came out of my throat, Inmyeonchung lowered his head.

–

“What the hell are you fucking drug bastards doing at night?”

“The superiors also said to handle it as quickly as possible.”

Ten pirates entered the armory area.

Uncharacteristic of outlaws, they were armed with mid-level reinforced clothing and Gauss rifles or psychic rifles. Some even brought psychic shields and medical kits used by cult warriors.

The reason why such good equipment can be used for pirates is because the Marcio Cartel acquired the weapons left behind when the Cult Empire left in the past. Montana Marcio purchased a large quantity of reinforced clothing with the credit he earned from selling the captured weapons.

Thanks to this, the mid-level reinforced clothing that could only be used by low-ranking officers of Megacorp’s armed police could be used by ordinary pirates.

“Where did GidQ contact you?”

“We have to go a little further.”

“Wasn’t he a cyborg? “I can handle a weakling on my own.”

“Don’t you know what happened to Jonas? “You got hit even while wearing reinforced clothing.”

“Tsk. That’s because he’s stupid. If it were me, I would dodge like this when that bastard runs at me…”

While they were chatting and moving around, the pirate in the lead raised his hand. It was a signal that someone was approaching from ahead.

Then the pirates immediately raised their weapons and guarded the surroundings. As they make a living from plunder and crime, they have a wealth of combat experience, if nothing else.

The pirates, who instantly transformed into seasoned soldiers, watched the front. There was something beneath the shadows created by the abandoned buildings.

It was definitely not GidQ. Because that cyborg pirate was one person, not many like now.

“It’s them!”

Did the pirate’s shout become a signal? Those hiding in the shadows rushed at the pirates wearing reinforced suits.

The pirate in the lead pulled the trigger of the Gauss rifle. The tungsten bullet, fearsome in both price and destructive power, penetrated the enemy’s abdomen without mercy.

No human being can survive with a fist-sized hole in their chest. The pirate, who thought he had finished off his enemy, tried to help others, but it was a wrong decision.

This is because the druggist, who had been faltering after being hit by a tungsten bullet, lunged at him again. And that too while maintaining a smiling expression.

“crazy!”

He hurriedly swung the gun’s body and struck the smiling maniac in the face. There was a sound of flesh being crushed and the guy fell backwards. He fired his gun at the enemy who was trying to get up again.

The situation of other pirates was similar. Even though his limbs were flying off, he was panicking because the enemy was rushing at him.

“Fuck you! “What on earth did you eat?!”

“Aim for the head instead of the body!”

The good news was that the physical abilities of the drug addicts were not that great. The pirates calmly cleared out the druggies.

“Are there any injured cubs?”

“I’m okay.”

“Wait what? Why are there only six people?”

“uh? Oh what? “You were behind me just now?”

10 people came, but everyone was confused when only 6 were seen. I checked the bodies to see if I had accidentally shot a colleague, but their colleague was not there.

“How did this happen?”

“I’ll contact you.”

The moment when a pirate picked up the terminal and tried to send a communication.

They witnessed an incredible sight.

“what’s this?”

“It’s fog, right?”

Before they knew it, a thick fog had formed on the street where they were standing. Only the tops of abandoned buildings were sticking out from the gray clouds.

“The life support equipment may have failed!”

“shit! Everyone ask for oxygen capsules!”

The pirates quickly put the oxygen capsule mounted on their reinforced suit into their mouths. The capsule slowly melts and supplies oxygen, allowing you to survive until you leave the area.

“…I don’t think we can resolve this on our own?”

“I’ll report it to the top.”

The four disappeared colleagues have already been forgotten. This is a space fortress that moves along the planet’s orbit. The problem of malfunctioning life support equipment was much more important than the strange drug addict or missing colleagues.

The pirate took out his terminal and was about to report to the top when he saw something beyond the hazy fog.

“uh?”

“What is that?”

He wasn’t the only one who witnessed it.

At first I thought it was an abandoned factory building, but it didn’t take long to realize that I was wrong.

The building didn’t move, but it wasn’t “that.”

The spider-like being approached them without a sound.

–

“Damn it! “Why aren’t you listening to me again?”

“Try again.”

“Fuck it doesn’t work, why do you keep doing it again? “You try it!”

“Do you want to go after this fucking guy?”

The four pirates, separated from their fellow pirates, hid in a nearby abandoned building. While they were catching drug addicts, they had to evacuate in a hurry because fog suddenly came from somewhere.

Problems occurring in life support equipment are very serious. I tried to quickly report it through the terminal, but for some reason the machine completely stopped working.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just get out there and run?”

“what? “Do you know what’s mixed in that fog?”

“You two, shut your mouths.”

Among them, the pirate who had been in the organization the longest warned in a cold voice, and everyone fell silent.

“I heard something, so shut up.”

“sound?”

“Are they drug addicts?”

At his words, everyone remained silent and looked through the broken window. A thick fog as if there had been a gas leak. Inside, as the pirate said, someone’s voice was heard.

GidQ, the member of the organization that had called the pirates here, was asking for their help.

“Does that sound like GidQ’s voice?”

“What do we do?

I’m not saying I’ll go rescue you out of camaraderie. This is to understand the strange phenomenon that occurred here. GidQ, who requested support, would know best what happened.

“Let’s think about it after bringing that bastard in first.”

“If this shit is going to happen, why didn’t you tell me a long time ago?”

The pirates moved cautiously while swearing at GidQ. They walked following the voice and arrived at an abandoned building that was half collapsed.

“I stopped by here, where did you go?”

“This way!”

The cyborg’s cry is heard as if in response. The pirates looked around to see where GidQ was.

“Here!”

“Crazy guy. “You have to tell me exactly where it is.”

All four people went upstairs because they heard voices from the top of the collapsed stairs.

“This way! this way!”

“Look here!”

GidQ was nowhere to be seen, and only his voice echoed here and there like an echo. The sound of a large insect flapping its wings was mixed in the middle of the voice.

Only then did the pirates realize that something was going wrong.

The owner of that voice. It’s not GidQ.

“We have to get out of here! right now!”

“What the fuck is this!”

“uh? Hey hey why are there only three? “What about one?”

“What are you talking about…huh?”

“Fuck you!”

There must have been four of us until we came up the stairs, but soon only three remained.

“What’s wrong with everyone?”

“I’m here?”

GidQ’s voice continued to be heard in the abandoned building where no one was there except them. And the sound of wings flapping among the voices grew louder.

“Stick together!”

Thick fog, unidentified voices, and even the disappearance of a colleague. The three remaining people barely resisted the urge to cry out and raised their guns.

Their eyes turned continuously as they faced each other. The finger on the trigger trembled slightly.

Did they notice that they were on guard? The inside of the building was immersed in silence.

“Did you go?”

“Wake! “You idiot!”

“He’s still here.”

The moment the particularly timid one among them swallowed his saliva, the floor they were standing on collapsed.

All three were in a state of extreme tension, so they couldn’t even scream and fell downstairs.

“Everyone be careful…!”

The experienced pirate barely came to his senses and tried to shout to be careful. Before he could finish his sentence, a long black arm came out of the fog and snatched him up.

“Hee hee hee!”

“Ugh!”

The two who witnessed this scene let out a scream that was close to crying. One of the pirates picked up a Gauss rifle and started firing at the fog.

Unlike his colleagues, the timid pirate chose to run away rather than fight. He came out of the building in a panic and ran down the street, crawling on all fours.

“Aaaah…awk?!”

The gunshot sound from behind suddenly stopped. He knew very well what that meant.

The timid pirate ran down the street with all his might.

Even when I faced the Marcio Cartel’s deputy leader, I wasn’t this scared. As expected, he is a being who causes fear within the range he can perceive.

However, the being in the fog is not like that. Indescribable fear. An unholy, mud-like horror. Faced with an incomprehensible being, all he can do is run away and cry like a child.

As I was running away, the fog suddenly cleared. You can see boundary signs erected between districts in the distance. If you go over there, you will find an entertainment area with high-end entertainment facilities. Once you get there, you will be able to ask for help from other gang members.

A ray of hope blooms in a heart consumed by fear. He took a powerful step forward. It would have been so if his legs had moved.

“?”

Are your legs stiff because of fear? Confused, he tried to move his legs, but they didn’t budge.

At the same time, I felt a warm sensation in my ear canal. I tried to touch my ears with my hands, but my arms didn’t respond. I tried to scream, but my mouth wouldn’t open.

His entire body was completely paralyzed, and the familiar sound of flapping wings sounded in his ears. The being that had been imitating GidQ’s voice landed in front of him.

When he saw that, cold sweat poured down his entire body.

Just now he thought that the incomprehensible fear was the real fear, but he was wrong. This universe was overflowing with things he couldn’t dare imagine.

For example, a bug with the head of his companion.

“Master. “He knows the life support facility manager.”

The bug with GidQ’s head said.

Then a gun fell on his head. The sound of it hitting the floor sounded like thunder in my ears.

That Gauss rifle was the gun held by a colleague who was fighting the monster.

And I felt an unpleasant breath on the back of my neck. Even though he was paralyzed, his senses were vivid, so it was not difficult to tell that his breath had a strong smell of blood.

“You seem useful.”

A man’s voice that feels soft, not to mention calm.

But the timid pirate could not rest assured.

He doesn’t know what awaits him next.

The fact that something terrible would happen to him that would not be enough to describe it.

Even with my poor imagination, I was able to imagine it.
