RUST -337

Kiss Riser? Why are you making such a fuss about catching it?

It was hard to understand why Maru was suddenly so sensitive. Was it because of the anger caused by the loss of Unit 3? Still, judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like he was right to shoot.

‘That girl was really weird.’

Ms. Kim, who had been feeling proud, thought that she might have done something wrong, but then became humble for a moment.

‘Should I have shot the leg?’

No, it isn’t.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like it should be shot straight away.

[Because of the secretary?]

“Oh. Okay.”

Miss. Weren’t you really going to kill me? Maru said to Ms. Kim, who was slowly looking around.

“Well done. If I had missed it by any chance, it would have been a mess.”

[Right? Hehehe]

It was Ms. Kim who had become fresh again. Maru closed his eyes for a moment as he watched Ms. Kim start to clean up the mess without being asked to do so in a good mood.

“Diana.”

[yes.]

“Everything that happened in Lab 13 was recorded.”

[All saved.]

“Tell the PD and the nurse to check that out. Call a meeting after dinner.”

[Okay. Why don’t you call the HOLY Church representatives?]

They were HOLY believers. They were clearly people who followed them well, but I didn’t think they were close enough to be able to talk about this openly.

“Let’s talk amongst ourselves first.”

[All right.]

Ultimately, in the worst case scenario, defense might have to be based on automatic turrets. The story goes that AIs are becoming more important, but Maru was honestly a bit irritating.

“How about Tria?”

[···It is difficult to predict the reaction. However, the computational power has become very unstable.]

Should I clean it up? Even if the computational power was low, it was an AI that took up 1/3 of the supercomputer units. It was already a mess, and it was tiring to see the AI ​​acting up.

[Tria, but also Samantha, watch out for them.]

[yes.]

When Maru suddenly started talking through the closed security line, it was Diana who responded immediately.

“The two of them didn’t get along well. From the beginning, one of them was the one who wanted to eat the other.”

[Yes.]

“Since one side is clearly weaker, I don’t know what kind of situation will arise. If it gets to that point, I plan on shaking it all out.”

[···That won’t happen.]

“Okay. I don’t want that to happen either.”

[I will check.]

Maru shook his head as if he was confused.

“But I need to know if he really intends to do that. If something happens, just maintain balance. Don’t actively intervene.”

[All right.]

Maru placed the researchers who appeared to be exposed to the secretary’s aura under separate management. 20% of the total researchers, including the chief researcher. It was not a small number.

[No additional cases of cannibalism were found in the test results.]

“There may be an incubation period, so isolate them for at least two weeks. Did you check the CCTV footage? What are the analysis results?”

[There was no abnormality confirmed on CCTV or sensors. There was nothing that could force the researchers to take action.]

“···I see.”

This means that when you struggle to survive at the end, it wasn’t hormones or some other chemical reaction that was spread.

So is it like living?

The results of the individual interviews were also ambiguous. Researchers said they had acted in a way that helped the secretary, but they were not sure why they did so.

‘It’s not about giving orders or brainwashing.’

‘So, is it right to kill the test subject like that?’

‘It’s a precious test subject, so it’s not worth getting rid of it like that…’

So, it’s not that they were brainwashed by the secretary, but rather that they did it because they thought they had to stop it.

“Should I call it mental pollution?”

Among the researchers, those who had sincere faith were somewhat better off. All the researchers who remained neutral in the 13th lab had strong religious beliefs. The rest clung to the floor and said they would dry it.

“Huh? By the way, where is that guy?”

The guy who said he would test on his own body whether it was contagious through direct contact. He was standing there with his clothes on in a haphazard manner.

When the three cannibals who had been identified through inspection threw themselves at the secretary to save her, that guy… That guy wasn’t there.

======

A young researcher in a white coat came out calmly.

Heart pounding

I felt like something was holding me back, but it was quickly released. After she died, I felt a sense of liberation.

When Yania Kim shot her and came inside, he quickly changed into a robe and went outside.

The CCTV on the ceiling had a red light off, indicating that the lab was under control by the artificial intelligence Tria.

So. I had to run away even if it meant killing someone. Killing the commanding officer was a bad sign.

The fragrant smell that wafted from time to time made me turn my head. I swallowed the saliva that was filling my mouth and tried to suppress my rampant appetite, but I felt like I was going crazy.

‘Just one bite. Just one bite.’

‘Hold on. Hold on.’

There was a tight tug-of-war between the carnivore instinct and reason.

Every woman passing by looked wild and every man looked tense. I closed my eyes tightly, but I couldn’t block the smell.

Huh- ha-

He had come to a place without knowing it. A place he had never been to while studying. It was his first time there.

A place with a high ceiling.

A space with high ceilings and wide open windows.

The swimming pool you see over there.

‘What floor is this? Where is it? Why did you come here?’

I had to escape outside, and I was thinking of an escape route…

After enduring and enduring again, this is the place I came to in a hurry.

And he saw.

Something white and pure.

A strong fragrance.

The ultimate taste is here.

Gulp-

That’s it.

If you eat that.

Something. Filled.

His reason flew away in the aura of the exquisite delicacy.

Kwaaaaah!

“Huh? Huh?”

The nurse, who saw the man rushing towards her, hesitated in her swimsuit. The moment the predator’s sharp hands and feet were about to pounce on the delicate prey, a pitch-black sound was heard.

Caw! (Emergency!)

Kaaaak- (Intruder-)

At first one, then two, then three, and gradually more crows began to tear at the man.

Kwaaaaak! (Get out of the way!)

Kaaaak! (Kill this bastard!)

Dozens of crows flocked in through the open window.

The man’s outstretched arms were torn apart by sharp claws and beaks. In an instant, both eyes were pecked out. The crows that clung to his head, shoulders, and arms forcibly lifted the man.

And then it falls.

Kkaaaak!

Perseok-

Crows descended on the fallen debris.

Kaaaak!

“Diana, why didn’t you warn me when this guy was getting away?”

[All authority in the research sector belongs to Tria. I was only able to access the place where Maru was.]

after-

The field of study was supposed to be done by the doctor and Tria. However, Tria’s condition has become strange.

“Can I delegate control of the lab?”

[···It is said that this is impossible without the permission of Dr. Jack Nees.]

“Dr. Jack Neese left for New York. He left for New York and now this is happening, what do you want me to do?”

[······.]

Maru realized that artificial intelligence could be frustrating.

“Okay. Let’s say that’s what happened in the research sector. Then why didn’t you stop him when he went up there?”

[I followed the security guidelines.]

“Security guidelines?”

[Yes, that was the first security-related instruction you gave.]

Maru was of the opinion that everything could not be left to artificial intelligence.

This was because I thought that no matter how good the artificial intelligence was, there was a risk of unexpected situations occurring.

What if there was a hack or a power outage? For both Samantha and Tria, the important thing was their master, not Maru’s orders.

With all these guys out there, are we going to trust security to artificial intelligence?

Trust these and let the defense system run completely autonomously? Maru couldn’t do that.

So we also created areas that AI cannot see. We monitored risk factors with CCTV and sensors, and made the defense system activate only when there is a risk factor.

“You mean the rule that says no spying in private places?”

[Yes, that’s right.]

In the first place, the floor was a private space without CCTV or sensors installed.

When Vladi Tower was first built, the risks included agents from other agencies, infiltration by special forces, and attacks by the infected.

So, what I’m saying is that armed people or people who clearly behave irrationally are risk factors.

There was no order to prevent an unarmed person from moving into a private space like now.

“Did you know the cannibal was out?”

[Unable to verify.]

You didn’t check? That was fortunate. I would have been angry if you knew but didn’t warn me because it wasn’t something I was ordered to do.

“Okay. From now on, if anyone approaches where there are people here, warn them, and if they don’t listen, immediately exclude them.”

[All right.]

“Certainly. We are not prepared for a situation like this.”

The PD opened his mouth.

“We need help from security experts and system experts here.”

Maru also agreed.

“For now, let’s move some of the labs out of the tower.”

Now that we have secured a large site, we decided to move some of the research facilities that were in the tower outside as planned.

“Let’s start with the biotechnology field.”

We decided to move from areas with biohazard risks, such as the current ones. We also changed the security rules to allow for incineration if necessary, and decided to move everything, including the dormitories of researchers in the field.

[What should we do with the researchers currently in quarantine?]

“If there are no problems, we will assign you to the newly built accommodations.”

Maru, who had finished discussing security and lab relocation issues, changed the subject.

“This is a memory video of the secretary.”

The visual data extracted from the secretary’s brain was released. Due to the limitations of technology, old memories could not be confirmed. And visual data. Only memories that the secretary saw with her eyes could be visualized.

“The Homeland Security agents have been caught.”

“What is that? A brain floating around?”

“Huh? Huh-”

“···Did you create a bio-terminal using the brain?”

And the video continues. It was about the cannibals conducting various experiments at Riser Constraints. I’m not an expert so I’m not sure what the various experiments mean, but Geese Riser was telling them to solve the problems the cannibals had.

“Eh- eeeeeet- ugh-”

The nurse, who couldn’t stand the scene of grinding people into shakes, went out. The PD was coldly angry, and Ms. Kim was like, “Is that so? These guys deserve to be killed.” But Hood’s reaction was different.

The hood held out two white arms.

“I need to grab the gas riser quickly.”

Following the right arm, the left arm also looked clean, but the mechanical sound was sharp. He had been treated for working hard in New York, but it was the left arm.

Vladimir, who only treated his arm when I asked him to do his face. He knew there was a cure and that if he worked hard, he would be cured, but his face came first.

As a woman, shouldn’t you start with your face? Since you treated my arms, are you telling me to work harder? That’s why it was Hood Xenia Rodden who stepped forward first.

“If the information held by the Geese Riser is shared with other cannibals, the cannibals will unite into one complete force.”

If that happens, it is not simply a matter of identifying and subduing cannibals, or of cannibals hunting humans, but a matter of species.

“We should see this not as a cannibal, but as the birth of a new cannibal.”

A remark that gently scratched Maru, who was determined to wipe out all the cannibals. It is unclear whether he knew Maru’s thoughts or not, but Hood insisted very passionately.

“It seems that there are people with powers in the PMC under Riser Pharmaceuticals, so if the research continues, cannibals may also be able to use their powers. I think we need to root them out before that happens.”

PD also agreed with Hood’s words.

The cannibals in the brain scans were blasphemous and evil.

What should we call the research that is not directed towards suppressing cannibalistic desires by researching a cure, but towards grinding people up and drinking them in order to further enhance physical abilities?

If there was any evil, it was them.

And, as a PD, the belief that HOLY is the one who came down to destroy such evil and save humanity grew stronger.

The nurse who came in after a while also had a determined expression on her face.

A face that showed no mercy for those who grind people up alive and drink them. The nurse could not feel pity for those who refused treatment despite the availability of a cure and coveted human flesh.

Ms. Kim nodded, although she was honestly a little annoyed. She felt that if she left it alone, it would only get more annoying.

Above all, the seductiveness that the secretary had shown was unfortunate. What if it had become the 3rd machine? What if Baekjeong had been shaken by it?

But there were a lot of those bitches in the brain scans. They said they would kill them all right away, but who knows. So it was right to wipe them all out before they could put out their tentacles.

Unanimous.

Vladislav town has entered exhibition mode.
