57 – Living Suit (5)
If the security is relatively stable, the number of people hungry for exciting things increases.
As already proven by the controversy over Snake’s excessive suppression, Korean society has increased the number of people who enjoy such things.
As a result, there are people who take pictures of the scene of an incident with their smartphones even if they are told to run away because it is dangerous.
It was one of those people that the monster attacked this time.
The monster that had just withered away ran towards me as if it had regained its strength.
The time I can reliably suppress the wavelength is 180 seconds.
And now that time has passed, it was a situation where power could no longer be drawn from the core.
I thought it was a dangerous situation, but….
ㅡ Hmm?
The monster’s attack was more monotonous than I thought.
In addition, the power was greatly reduced.
Obviously, when I was attacked for the first time, it felt like I was being beaten with heavy iron, but now I don’t feel that weight.
At this level, I think the opponent will be able to do it even without nuclear power….
Did you use up a lot of strength while fighting me?
ㅡ This is your chance!
Whatever the reason, the fact that it is an opportunity has not changed.
The monster’s attack doesn’t pose much of a threat to me.
I made that decision and gave up defense and ran forward.
The monster hurriedly tried to distance himself, as if he was taken aback by my actions, but his movements were much slower than before.
“Kurrureurreuk!”
The monster made a sound like a howl of a beast, glared at me, then suddenly looked away.
ㅡ Never mind!
I know!
I ran at the monster in a straight line and tried to swing his fist.
That moment.
“Quaaagh!”
The monster vomited up the person he was parasitizing and threw it at me.
I immediately withdrew the hand I was about to swing and grabbed the person flying towards me and lowered them safely to the ground.
“Run away!”
“Oh yes!”
A person suffering from insensitivity to safety started to run away as if he finally judged that he was in danger.
I glanced at the figure and found the monster again.
“Are you okay?”
What do you mean?
ㅡ Hero-kun.
Anyway, it seems that another hero has arrived other than the one who helped Yongsu escape.
The hero looked around and our eyes met.
That was the moment.
ㅡ It’s a monster!
The monster, which had melted into liquid, took advantage of the darkness and clung to the feet of the hero who had just arrived.
“Be careful!”
“Ugh, aaagh!”
Hearing my warning, the hero screamed and tried to remove the monster, but in the end he couldn’t.
ㅡ What an idiot!
The monster succeeded in completely parasitizing the hero, and he stood there and looked at me.
The corners of the monster’s mouth slowly began to crook.
It felt like they were laughing at me.
ㅡ That son of a b*tch!
The monster approached me with unparalleled speed and swung his fist, but the attack did no damage to me.
I tried to grab the monster’s arm, but the monster avoided my hand and started running through the night.
ㅡ Chase!
I started running after the monster following Grid’s cry, but the monster got further and further away.
It was only then that I was able to understand the monster’s characteristics.
ㅡ Looks like you have the ability to use the host’s abilities.
Yongsu was the ability to strengthen the body and the ability to enhance the hardness and strength of objects.
The speed of the run, the fierce attack, the performance of stepping on a signboard and jumping… All of that was the ability of the dragon.
When he parasitized ordinary people, he was weak because he couldn’t use his psychic powers, and the reason he’s gotten faster now is probably because the hero’s ability to accelerate is the ability to accelerate.
Because the person who always arrives at the scene the fastest is always the one with the ability to accelerate.
ㅡ sh*t! Totally missed it.
Me and Grid kept chasing after the monster, but in the end we lost track of it.
I couldn’t feel the nucleus from the monster, so it seemed that the grid couldn’t be sharp either.
ㅡ aaah!
Grid started to lose his temper like a madman.
I also had a lot of emotions because I missed that monster, but I felt a bit dazed when Grid made such a sudden acceleration.
ㅡ I missed the bastard who threw up on me!
Ah, that’s why you’re angry.
It was a situation that made me angry.
We completely missed the traces of the monster, so we decided to return to the place where we had a fight with the monster.
There already responded to my request for rescue, and the hero and ability response team, and the police came and took care of the scene.
“Are you a hero who sent an emergency call?”
“Yes, my name is Brave.”
I judged that this situation would cause as much ripple as the last mimicking monster, so I called the person in charge from the ability response team.
The manager, who was puzzled at first, also hardened his face when I explained what had happened here.
“A monster mimicked in a hero suit… You mean?”
“Yes. Like the movie Venom, he parasitises on humans, controls his body, and uses his superpowers.”
“Haa….”
Why does this happen when I am on duty….
The man who introduced himself as the class leader of the powerful team 2 sighed and washed his face dry.
ㅡ sh*t. Sigh I want to rest, this trash!
Grid continued to lose his temper, as if he wanted to wash off the filth from his body right away.
However, since the incident was an incident, the investigation had to be lengthy.
At first, the class president, who was diligently organizing the case, showed a strangely displeased expression when his concentration was lost.
I think I smelled the smell coming from my suit.
ㅡ aaah!
Grid screamed as if he was in so much pain from that gaze as if he was looking at filth.
“That… Can I borrow some bottled water?”
“Oh, yes. You do.”
I was able to wash myself off with a fair amount of water, as if the class president couldn’t stand it any longer.
But the smell of vomit doesn’t go away with just water.
After that, the class president with a subtle expression, the screaming Grid, and my crazy collage continued in between.
It was after the date changed that I returned home.
After returning home, Grid’s 20-year-old full-time housewife could see the colorful laundry that would cry and go.
A monster who does laundry… This is so precious.
***
Grid’s laundry was so serious that I couldn’t get out of the bathroom.
It was a moment when I suddenly felt that having two selves dwelling in one body was very uncomfortable.
ㅡ You wouldn’t want to be called Super Hero Obyte, would you?
No, you’re a bit harsh….
I was thrilled to see him take out a spare toothbrush from the cupboard and clean it even though it was already clean with soap.
ㅡ Imagine that you fell into a poop. No matter how much you wash, you won’t be satisfied.
Uh… When you say that, it blows my mind.
Certainly, in that situation, I would react like Grid.
You may feel as if the filth has already been washed away and the smell is gone.
From noble mtl dot com
ㅡ Yes, that’s it!
I sighed and decided to enjoy a summer bath.
I felt very lovely in this building with a bathtub even though it was a studio.
Dazedly lying in the bathtub, I took out my smartphone and browsed the Internet.
On the Internet, there was already a video of me fighting a monster with a composition taken from the bottom up.
Perhaps the insecure citizen who fled after being captured by the monster.
People who recognized my suit were commenting that it was a scene where Brave fights a monster.
ㅡ But isn’t that a snake?
There was also such a comment.
Because the monster kept its suit appearance even while fighting me, people started a heated discussion saying that it was a Brave vs. Snake composition.
ㅡ Breaking news: That’s not a snake, it’s a monster.
Starting with such a post, the fact that the snake suit that fought Brave was actually a monster spread.
People continued to question why the monster in the snake suit suddenly appeared.
And that question was soon resolved.
This is because the identity of the suit was revealed along with the title Breaking News on a 24-hour news channel.
The ego of the monster came alive to see how the suit was affected, and attacked its owner, Snake.
A brave who happened to be nearby protected the citizens from the monster and chased the monster.
The monster entered the building and resisted by throwing office supplies such as desks, chairs and computers.
With the help of a hero who arrived just in time, Brave rescued Snake from being possessed by a monster, and the case appeared to be over.
However, the monster escaped by transforming its form into a liquid, clinging to another nearby citizen.
When Brave tried to attack the monster, the monster threw civilians at Brave and ran away again.
The monster, who had regained his strength by parasitizing on the body of a hero who appeared on the scene to help Brave, ran away as it was.
According to Hero Brave, who was present at the scene at the time, it seems that the suit-shaped monster can use the host’s abilities.
There was news about that.
From then on, the Internet started to heat up.
The theme was that monsters are evolving.
ㅡ It sure seems that the monster is evolving.
Isn’t that right?
Kaiju is evolving just as people are discussing it in Internet communities.
That’s also in a very bad direction.
Until now, the monsters were getting larger, harder, and heavier.
However, the monsters that have started to appear these days have small or no nuclei, and while they are smaller in size, they are hard and heavy.
If the monsters of the past simply swung around and inflicted damage according to their instincts, the monsters appearing these days seemed to have a purpose somewhere.
ㅡ Perhaps the purpose is to infiltrate human society.
Yeah, maybe.
The mutant monsters appearing these days have quite high intelligence.
Beyond the mimicking monster, the monster in the form of a hero suit that appeared this time was able to steal and use human superpowers.
If we keep going like this, there may soon be a future where monsters are mixed among humans.
I wonder if this was what the man was aiming for from the beginning.
Why? ?
ㅡ A monster like that is more annoying than a big monster.
That’s true, but….
When a large monster appears, the story ends with someone expelling it.
The ending is the same whether it is C or B grade.
But this monster is different.
This monster has poured a drop of poison into the hero society.
The hero suits that heroes usually wear are made of monster materials.
Is such a hero suit really safe?
Such a topic has come to the fore.
People who are usually favorable to heroes naturally express their advocacy that they are safe.
However, people who usually take a bad look at heroes naturally reveal their stance of criticism.
Anyway, isn’t it because the hero suit ran out of control?
So, public opinion began to emerge that all hero suits should be checked for safety.
Since this is a legitimate theory, even people who are favorable to heroes have not been able to refute it.
ㅡ There must be another problem.
Sure.
After that mimicking monster incident, I felt that when a monster appeared, it would continue to spread as a social issue.
