20 – The Mimiky Monster
I tried to follow him from behind so he wouldn’t notice, but the surroundings turned black before I knew it.
The monster continued to walk, dragging his legs, and I followed him.
And it wasn’t long before I realized that he was luring me into a deserted place.
ㅡ You noticed.
It was at that moment when he entered the alleyway to avoid people’s eyes.
Kang!
Something that was aiming for my face bounced off my hardened arm.
The strange looking man I was after.
The man was glaring at me with his arms stretched out like tentacles.
“In… liver.”
He looked at me and turned his head 90 degrees.
“How, did you notice, did you notice?”
Surprisingly, he seems to be able to talk.
Until now, there has never been a monster that can understand human speech.
This was the first time I could say this was a situation, at least excluding the one that nestled in my body.
ㅡ It didn’t even catch that monster detector.
Ah, that’s right.
The guy in front of me didn’t even catch the monster detector.
Then it means that he is a D-class or lower monster.
No, maybe.
ㅡ There is no nucleus.
As expected.
That strange guy in front of me was a monster without a core.
My neighbor said that the nucleus is the human brain and heart.
It was also said that a kaiju needs a nuclear weapon to use its powers and maintain vital activity.
But the guy in front of me doesn’t have a nucleus.
Then how is it maintaining such a state?
ㅡ It’s probably time-limited. It is a reconnaissance aircraft that imitates a human and collects information.
Is there a monster with that ability?
Now I feel like I don’t know what it is.
I charged at him while using my body strengthening ability and hardening ability.
He came swinging his hands like a whip, but he couldn’t hurt me.
I thrust a fist into his face.
Hook!
There was a sound like a foot sinking into mud somewhere, and a hole was punched in the guy’s head.
But he was still alive.

Anyway, it felt like I couldn’t die with normal hits.
That was the moment when I was thinking about how to do this.
Kwaduk!
I heard the sound of something chewing and for the first time the monster in front of me began to suffer.
“Cheer, ugh….”
Gulp gulp gulp!
Only then did I figure out what was going on.
The mouth that formed on my right hand was sucking the monster’s body’s power while biting it off.
Even if it’s a monster, the sight of eating a guy who is mimicking a human… It was so gross that I don’t even want to describe it.
ㅡ Kkeok.
The monster that clung to my body dried up with the sound of a burp and disappeared as it turned to dust.
***
When I got home, I shut the door and sat down on the floor.
My heart, which had been burning up with the hero ability test, was pounding in a different way.
A monster appeared that looked at people with tentacles mimicking human bodies.
I didn’t know that maybe there were more mutant monsters appearing in this society than I knew.
That monster we encountered earlier.
His gait was strange and his posture was strange.
Obviously, if you look closely, you seem to be a person with some kind of handicap.
But that was it.
People don’t care anymore because they might be a person with a disability.
If the monster imitated by that person becomes more accustomed to the mimicry and can move like a human….
I thought that such a terrible future might come where monsters live with people.
ㅡ I’ll think about that later.
The guy who said that started to take off my clothes.
“What?”
My hands and legs were still, but my clothes started to come off on their own.
Looking for something, I saw that a hand-like tentacle had sprouted from my wing bone.
ㅡ A superhero must have a clean appearance.
I wonder what kind of wind blew, and the guy who had a strangely clear ego started pushing me into the bathroom.
ㅡ ‘Skunk’, a hero who smells from his body, is a no-brainer.
I don’t know why the guy who was squeamish about heroes is suddenly singing a hero hero song.
But first of all, I had to wash myself because I was dormant in the mountains for two days.
I cleared my head and just put on warm water.
Something dripped down my face.
“What?”
When I looked in the mirror attached to the bathroom, the monster was rubbing shampoo on my hair.
ㅡ Dirty body and mind. What to wash with Soap~
The monster started to help me by singing a strange song to know what was so enjoyable.
Unlike before, it was not in the form of eyeballs or mouths sprouting from my limbs, but in the form of arms made by myself.
ㅡ Rinse thoroughly so that no soap bubbles remain.
What on earth is this sh*tty song from earlier?
ㅡ This is Norazo.
What?
He started dabbing body wash all over my body, feeling like he was humming his hum.
“Yai, use a body towel.”
ㅡ There are many things you wish for.
While saying that, he actually started lathering my body with a body towel.
I just blankly spread my arms, but the shower was over.
ㅡ Even without Skynet, humans will perish.
What are you talking about?
ㅡ Laziness kills life. Ha ha ha!
So you’re washing, cooking, and changing clothes like now, and then I’m going to die of being lazy?
ㅡ Exacta!
This bastard….
Since I moved here, when I messed around with the computer, I thought it was just that.
Because it was a situation where I had the initiative of the body anyway.
So, in this way, I created ‘my own’ body instead of ‘my’ body.
I had nothing to say except to be careful.
ㅡ The human body is more complicated than you think. It’s hard to move.
After saying that, he stuck out both tentacles towards the mirror.
Then he changed his tentacles into hands and showed his middle finger up.
ㅡ But this kind of thing is free. Kuhh
The monster had a strangely high tension, like an elementary school student who learned to curse for the first time.
Isn’t this the one?
Children with weak self-identity are colored by TV, the Internet, and people around them.
“What did you see?”
ㅡ Well….
This reaction seems to be colored by seeing something….
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I thought it was finally over.
“Wouldn’t that guy be the end?”
– Yes. Because he was born from a single monster.
“Would you like to share information?”
– Yes. Probably.
There are monsters with enough intelligence to collect information by mimicking at least human form.
My identity was discovered by such a monster.
I thought that maybe a life-threatening situation might come out of him.
All mutant monsters are troublesome.
This parasite-like monster living in my body is also a mutant monster.
ㅡ Parasites? Wow!
What the heck.
Why do I suddenly go crazy at the word parasite?
“Did you see that movie?”
ㅡ … what movie are you talking about?
I turned on the TV and checked my Netflix watch list.
And it wasn’t long before I could see the results of my guess.
“Starting today, your name is Zabene.”
Zap Venom.
I was told that he was acting strangely, so he was imitating this.
I was wondering why I was suddenly obsessed with the word hero, but my watch list was full of hero movies.
Perhaps because I live with the word hero in my mouth, I have researched about heroes.
Both real heroes and fictional heroes.
If you watch a hero movie again, the taste of mulberry gets tired….
I think this chambé is like this because he was inspired by a movie with a protagonist in a similar situation to himself.
It must have been that he empathized with the symbiote, who was in a similar situation to his own.
He is intelligent and has excellent learning ability.
But he was strangely childish.
ㅡ If your goal is friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, then I’m the friendly Neighbor Venom!
Now I called Venom and sat down.
What should I do with this bastard….
ㅡ In the future, a mutant monster like him will appear.
“Yes.”
For some reason, I had a hunch that it would be like that.
ㅡ We are weak. I’m just mimicking the abilities of other psychics.
“Mimic?”
– Yes. Have you ever felt something lacking while using your abilities?
“That’s what….”
Users of body enhancement abilities do not end with just increasing their strength.
Because the overall physical ability is strengthened, it is as fast and strong.
But I can’t bring out my abilities beyond being stronger and a bit stiffer.
Even if I got an A-class judgment based on my measurements, that’s just the potential of my ability.
As a direct example of that, even though he was wearing a mob suppression suit, Iron was a hardening ability.
It’s probably because of that reason that I, who has the ability to take revenge, couldn’t even hit him properly.
ㅡ That’s only because I supported them.
A person who gained abilities from a young age and trained for 10 years sometimes fails the hero ability test.
However, it was a situation that made no sense for me, who had just mastered the ability, to use it freely.
“I need to sign up for the training room and gym quickly.”
I’ll have to train so that I can handle my abilities more skillfully.
ㅡ We just don’t end there.
“Then?”
ㅡ I am a monster. No need for a nucleus. If you have a hack, you can use more abilities.
The moment I heard that, I was lost in thought.
A monster needs a nuclear weapon.
It takes a long time for humans to control and develop supernatural powers.
However, a monster knows how to move its body and use its abilities from the moment it appears in the world.
This means that with the help of this guy, you can quickly learn the psychic powers that will take at least 10 years to develop.
But making a nuke means that I will become a monster.
You’ll get caught in the monster detector.
And if this guy has any other feelings….
ㅡ I don’t think so.
“How can I trust you?”
ㅡ We are a community of destiny.
In the past, I might have nodded at those words anyway.
But seeing the guy whose ability and ego got stronger after eating the monster made me feel strangely uncomfortable.
I have to find a way to not get caught in the monster detector even if I make a nuclear nucleus and not be dominated by this guy.

Investigate.
Just following that order, they went into action.
They decided to imitate the most numerous and strongest creatures on this planet.
That was human.
They looked at humans passing by and mimicked them.
However, even if I could imitate it convincingly, I had to spend a lot of time moving it.
The time given to them was not that much.
Somehow, it mimics human beings and understands their thoughts.
With that thought in mind, the activity was revealed.
Moving their bodies awkwardly, they realized for the first time.
When humans appear, they immediately send a disturber.
But there was no such movement now.
I was sure.
Humans respond to their core.
They don’t show any reaction to those who don’t have nuclear weapons.
“Are you okay?”
I tried to imitate humans, but there was awkwardness in my movements.
Maybe that’s why there were people who talked to them.
They couldn’t completely imitate humans.
That’s why humans mixed in a lot of time and decided to hide themselves.
In the meantime, someone sensed that the pursuer was following them.
The individual was summoned to an alleyway to hunt the pursuer, but was hunted down in reverse.
The last thing he saw was a strange man eating himself.
I couldn’t feel the core to be called a monster, and it was too strange to be called a human being.
They decided to investigate the strange being further.
