I Became an Evolving Space Monster

–

“It’s been a while since I set foot on the ground and I was happy…Nimi.”

A building where the light flickers uneasily. A pirate with a scar on his face looked out the window and cursed.

Through the window, several transport ships are seen staggering and barely landing. The city they are currently in is in the middle of a huge storm.

“Those guys who went to fix the terraforming machine, when did it end?”
“If we deal with it quickly, it will be finished by tomorrow.”
“Whew. “It sucked to be in space for two weeks, but it sucks here too.”

It is very dangerous to ride a walker or go out without wearing a reinforced suit in this weather. Until all of the terraforming machines are repaired, it is safe to remain inside the building.

Of course, the pirates who had come down to earth after a long time did not like this situation. Their anger was rising as quickly as the amount of synthetic drugs they had been diligently inhaling.

“The executives say they will prepare for hunting as soon as the repairs are completed.”
“preparation? no way?”
“uh. I’m here to catch the fucking monster. “Fuck.”
“Damn it. I was wondering why they were moving so much. Hehe!”

The pirate, who was looking at the raindrop-filled window, spat on the floor. The other pirates who saw this clicked their tongues.

“Ac, it’s really dirty.”
“I gave that bastard an expensive one, and he spit it out and sat down.”

They shook their heads and puffed on electronic cigarettes filled with drugs. The sense organs were being destroyed in real time by the poisonous hallucinogenic substance, but no one cared.

“But it’s a little strange.”
“Why are you being such a dick again?”
“No, take a look. We suffered like dogs in space two weeks ago. “We haven’t even sold the body yet.”
“I guess it’s because I have something to use.”
“Are you going to have sex with a corpse?”
“Ugh, that dead body bastard.”

“Why are these crazy bastards doing this from earlier?”

At a time when the drugged pirates were talking and throwing random words, the door opened. A pirate wearing a very wet reinforced suit came inside.

The new visitor was from a different cartel than them. So everyone was ignoring him, but one person spoke to him.

“for a moment. “You work at Shinoni, right?”
“yes. “Why are you doing that?”
“Is there anywhere we can go to have fun around here?”
“Of course there is. Shall I take you there?”

It was a question that suddenly occurred to me, and I received an unexpected answer.

“Is there somewhere I can go in this weather?”
“If you tell me you’re going on a walker, you’ll get kicked.”
“You don’t have to worry. “It’s an underground facility.”
“Underground?”
“yep. It is an underground gambling hall connected to a sewer system. “You can not only gamble, but also have fun with slaves.”

Everyone’s faces brightened at those words.

“Guide me right away.”
“Please follow me.”

Shinoni’s gang members guided the pirates into the building. I followed him and saw a pitch black iron gate.

When the gang member opened the door, a dark underground passage appeared.

“Was there a basement in this building?”
“I don’t think I saw you when I came in earlier.” “This way.”

The pirates walked over the damp passageway, followed by gang members equipped with headlights.

“Fuck you! “What does this smell like?”
“It’s because it’s an abandoned sewer. “I heard that it was mainly used by the soldiers who worked here.”
“Soldiers? “Did you do some kind of operation?”

“Is that possible? “I did it so I could sneak out and go to the gambling house.”
“Anyway, you idiots from Megacorp.”

Perhaps it was true that it was an abandoned sewer, but there was a foul smell everywhere. The stench was as if it were hundreds of decomposing corpses, so it was difficult to bear even while under the influence of drugs.

Additionally, there was a lot of sticky mud on the floor. Everyone walked carefully because if they accidentally fell, it could lead to bad results.

“Hey, this is really abandoned, right? “There’s no spillage or anything along the way, right?”
“We’ve been here a few times, but nothing like that has happened.”
“Ugh, if I fall…”

The pirate, who was about to say it was a big deal, kept his mouth shut.

Someone was standing in the dark passage.

“Mr….?!”
“it’s okay. “These are my friends.”

Where the headlights were pointed, two pirates wearing reinforced suits were seen. They approached in silence and stood next to the gang member.

“We decided to meet here. “We were planning to go to the gambling house together.”

The organization member in the lead said as if nothing had happened and set off again.

“….”

However, the pirates following him could not ignore them.

I was waiting in this sewer with no lights and no fire. This means you can use the headlight attached to the helmet.

Even for those who were under the influence of drugs, the situation was clearly suspicious.

The pirates following behind cautiously brought their hands close to their weapons.

“hey. “It’s really quiet for friends who decided to meet in a place like this.”
“Everyone doesn’t say much.”
“Well, I think a little differently. “It’s not that you don’t speak, it’s that you can’t speak, right?”
“yes?”

The organization member in the lead slowly turned back after hearing those words.

“Are you suspicious of us?”
“I heard that there are still remnants of the separatist movement. “Do you have any guarantees that you are not terrorists?”
“If I were a terrorist, I would have attacked long ago. “Did you stay still all the way here?”
“I don’t know. “Maybe they did it to lure us in.”
“that’s right. “There are a lot more people here, so you’re not trying to bring them to a place like this and stab them.”

Pirates aiming their weapons while talking. Shinoni’s gang members just looked at them in silence.

“Let’s go out and talk about the details. “Raise your hands.”
｢….｣
“You look at us like thugs…what are you talking about?”

At that time, the gang member suddenly began to tremble.

“You crazy bastard. “Are you smiling now?”

Soon the pirates realized that their opponents were laughing. The guy was laughing so hard that he was having fun. From the first time they met, his two colleagues didn’t say a word and just stood still.

“Fuck, put your hands up!”
“I will kill you!”

The pirates’ shouts echoed in the thick darkness. There was fear mixed in the cry. Although they were the ones holding the weapons, they were overwhelmed by this bizarre atmosphere.

As the pirate shouted, the trembling member of the organization stopped laughing. The guy slowly moved his hands towards his head.

“Ooh, don’t move!”
“I’m trying to take off my helmet.”
“Don’t move!”

Contrary to what they said, they did not shoot. Because I had a bad feeling. It seemed like something scary would happen if we started shooting.

He must have expected this as well and took off his helmet without hesitation.

The light from the headlights illuminates his face. The scars and dirty beards here and there are no different from the pirates here.

“I am neither a separatist nor a Sinoni pirate. “I just…”

His colleagues next to him also took off their helmets. The moment they saw the exposed faces, the pirates froze.

The face illuminated by the light was by no means human. There were countless things writhing beneath the pale skin.

“It’s just a messenger.”

The headlights turned off, and those covered in leather rushed at the pirates.

The light of the energy bullet flashed in the pitch black darkness and then quickly faded away.

After that, a sound like a school of fish digging into a piece of meat filled the sewer.

–

“Boss. “We transported everything we brought.”
“okay.”

Two pirates were having a conversation in a room littered with expensive items. He was the leader of Ventress and her superior, Shinoni.

“Maybe there was a problem during unloading?”
“The quantity was a bit large, but I monitored it closely, so there were no problems.”
“Thanks to the person who was so thorough, it took a long time to unload the cargo.”
“Hmm, that’s….”

Ventress bowed her head at the leader’s poignant words.

The boss, who was sitting on an antique mahogany chair and glaring at his subordinate, waved his hand after a moment.

“it’s okay. “There are more important things than your treatment right now, so let’s move on.”
“thank you.”
“The item I brought this time, according to Sutherland, was something that the commander-in-chief had difficulty obtaining. There shouldn’t be any mistakes in preparation.”
“What do you mean, Commander?”

Ventress looked slightly surprised at those words.

“What on earth is this? “I took a quick look at it while unloading, and it looked like some kind of spaceship part.”
“You have nothing to know. “Make sure you keep an eye on them so that no problems arise.”
“Well, if you know what it is, you can be careful to avoid problems. If you could tell me a little bit…”
“Hmm.”

Sutherland, the leader of the Shinoichi, emphasized several times that it was an extremely valuable item. It means you have to protect your things no matter what.

In that case, as Ventress said, it will be easier to manage it if you at least know what the item is. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to tell us at least a little bit.

“I’m not sure because I didn’t hear it correctly, but they say it’s a type of warp finder.”
“Warp finder? “You mean the equipment used to track ships?”

Ventress looked at the leader with a puzzled expression.

Warp Finder is a device that analyzes the flow of energy generated by faster-than-light navigation. Although it is expensive, it is not at a level that makes it extremely rare.

The leader, reading his subordinate’s thoughts, added a word.

“That’s no ordinary warpfinder.”
“yes?”
“It’s a prototype model secretly developed by Star Union. “There are less than 10 people in this universe who know the existence of that thing.”
“Is that so? “I had no idea it was such a valuable item.”
“They said they deliberately disassembled it into parts and brought it in for fear of information being leaked. “Only the owner knows how to assemble and operate.”
“indeed.”
“Anyway, if you know, be careful. Do you understand?”
“yep. “I will keep that in mind.”

The conversation ended with that.

Ventress left and the leader leaned back comfortably in his chair.

All miscellaneous work for preparations for the operation was left to the deputy chief. All he has to do now is wait.

“How then…”

The leader stood up and took out a bottle of alcohol placed in the liquor cabinet.

“It’s Olympus 12 year old. “It’s not a drink that a security team leader could ask for.”

The previous owner of this room was the person in charge of the research complex’s security system. It was thanks to his help that Ventress and her men were able to easily occupy this place.

He left AG-01 immediately after dealing with the pirates. Leaving all these good things behind.

“Let me have a taste… huh?”

As he was about to pour an unclaimed drink, he looked at his palm and frowned. This is because the hand holding the liquor bottle was covered in sticky black mucus.

“Tsk, is it mold?”

I roughly wiped the stain on my pants and took the lid off. Looking at the fragrant smell rising, the contents seemed to be fine.

“The contents seem to be okay.”

I took a sip and it tasted just fine. This enchanting and strong scent spread into my mouth so much that my legs lost their strength.

“…That’s awesome.”

From that point on, he started drinking the precious liquor in abundance.

The leader underwent expensive genetic modification surgery with credits provided by the CEO. So, even if you drink strong alcohol, you will not get drunk easily.

At that time, I was drinking alcohol for a long time like drinking water.

I heard a sound outside the door.

“Hehe…who is it?”

I called, but the only answer I got was silence.

Thinking that I had heard wrong, I was about to drink again, but I heard the sound again.

“!”

I heard it clearly this time.

The sound heard outside was clearly the sound of a child laughing.

The leader opened the door with a weapon in his hand instead of a bottle of alcohol.

A hallway stretching out under the light of electric lights. At the end, there was the person who made the sound.

“uh? What are you?”

The jackal-headed young Wolf disappeared around the corner without answering.

This entire building is closely guarded by Shinoni pirates. It is not a place where something like Wolff can come and go without permission.

Moreover, the Wolf who had just disappeared looked somewhat familiar. I’m sure I’ve seen it recently, but I can’t remember.

‘Rather than that, we have to chase after it first….’

Whatever it is, just catch it and ask. The leader chased after the intruder with nimble steps.

As he passed the corner, he saw Wolf going down the stairs. He immediately followed him down to the basement.

He must have turned off the light, but the downstairs was completely dark compared to the above. However, he was transplanted with useful genes. Objects could be distinguished even in spaces with little light.

He skillfully navigated the darkness and quickly caught up with his opponent.

“stop.”

At the leader’s words, the little fugitive stopped in place.

“Where did you come from?”

Instead of answering, the guy slowly turned around.

‘huh?’

When I looked at the other person’s face, I remembered something.

A few weeks ago, the leader went to a planet with another cartel. There, the female he killed while playing looked similar to that Wolff.

“You know me, right?” “….”

Instead of answering, Wolff was glaring at him. It was clear when I saw those resentful eyes.

“under. “I don’t know how I got here, but…huh?!”

Just as he was about to say that this was his grave, a strong shock hit him. The body floating in the air hit a nearby wall.

“Quaaaah!”

The leader could not bear the overwhelming pain and screamed. A golden skewer pierced his right shoulder and hung him from the wall.

“How about experiencing the pain you caused the children yourself?
”

The leader tried to counterattack by holding the weapon with his left hand, but this time he also failed. This is because the front paw of the beast sticking out from the darkness crushed my left arm.

Even though he tried to escape using his enhanced strength, the beast’s front paws did not budge. Instead, it crushed his arm and sternum with much more overwhelming force.

Two amber lights bloomed in front of him as he struggled in pain.

“Uuuuugh!”
“Some children were killed by cutting off their arms and legs, while others were killed by skewering them and burning them. “I enjoyed listening to those children’s screams.”

What I thought was light was actually snow. The eyes of a beast several times larger than that of an adult male.

“I want to kill you right away, but…”

The sharp beak sticking out between the eyes stopped just before stabbing the leader’s neck. The beast put its beak and paws away and slowly retreated back.

“Kuheook!”
‘Are you alive?’

The beast spoke in front of him, who was breathing heavily.

“For a evil person like you, death would actually be salvation.”

Just as I was relieved that I had survived, the wall behind me suddenly moved. A black vine-like thing came out, wrapped around my body, and started pulling me towards the wall.

｢You guys must suffer more.｣
“Wait… kuhuu!”

Tied up to his mouth, he was unable to resist and was sucked into the liquefied wall.
