Chapter 9: I’m lost…

Those who cannot face fear cannot create the future.

Meaningless sobbing never ceases in the Black Forest, where only the dark twilight descends.

The mouth is a door that brings misfortune, and the tongue is a blade that cuts the body.

If you don’t realize this fact, there will only be an end.

For eternity… Forever…

• Detailed explanation of ‘Little Girl’s E.G.O Gift.

I’m wandering around inside the company right now.

I hide my body whenever I hear the sound of the employees talking, and when the voices gradually fade, I peek out and walk around again…

There were so many containment cells in the hallway, and I gave up checking the windows after seeing a huge spider attached to one.

It’s gross. I think I’ll have a trauma.

Anyway, as I was going through each containment cell and checking the identification codes and identification names, I wondered what I was doing.

I’m going crazy.
If I get caught by the bald-headed man like this…

Ugh, just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

“…Li! …Is… been… uh?”

Oh, the sound of the employees talking is coming again.

Where can I hide… Oh, I can hide behind that box!

• Swoosh

Fortunately, it seems like I won’t be caught since I’m small.
…Is that fortunate?

“How’s the new Abnormality this time?”
“The Abnormality this time seems pretty good.
The work result was bad, so I thought I’d die without a doubt, but it told me not to worry and gave me a baptism? “

The Abnormality gives a baptism. What the hell is that?

Is there an Abnormality like ‘Do you know the way?’

“Oh… Then is the halo you see behind your head from that Abnormality?”
“Yeah. It gave me this E.G.O gift along with the baptism, and after receiving this, my work efficiency increased, and I felt so much energy?”

You got scammed. You poor guy.

Psychological… effect, right? That kind of thing!

“I’m jealous. What’s the name of that Abnormality? I should ask the manager to send me to work too.”
“They said it was ‘Plague Doctor,’ but you won’t be able to manage it. The order must be overflowing already.”

Oh my, the employees are already caught up in multi-level marketing.

They’ll give up their livers and spleens to a heretical guru. You poor guys.

“Moreover, it looked very holy, when it was blessing… Hmm. [ You are an apostle of Ashley. On this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death will not dare to suppress it. ] It said. How is it? Doesn’t it make you believe it firmly?”
“Wow, I’m jealous. But what is an apostle?”
“Well…”

The poor employees, who have been fascinated by the heretics, are gradually moving away.

Anyway, it’s a name that looks like a restaurant.

It’s a bit strange to say it’s delicious to a person, but isn’t that a restaurant’s name?

• Peekaboo.

The employees who were talking seem to have left completely.

I should move little by little now…

“Hello! What are you doing here?”

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from behind my head.

“Whaoo?!”

Startled, I jumped up-

• Thud.

I fell over the box in front of me and landed on my butt.

I almost lost my heart.

And who’s that?

It seems to be a clear voice, so it’s not the bald-headed man from earlier…

“Ouch… W-who are you?”

Turning my head while stroking my sore butt, the person who spoke to me was a woman with brown hair and a red headband.

A person… right? I feel something is off.

“Hello, I’m the Sephirah of the Command Team. I’m Malkuth! Who are you?”

Hey, aren’t we meeting for the first time…?

Why are you asking with your face so close? That’s overwhelming.

“Which department staff are you? Office worker? Oh, are you a new recruit to the Command Team?”
“Uh… Umm, I…”

No, what should I answer? I don’t know what a Sephirah is well, but it seems to be a high position,

If I tell the truth, they might call the bald-headed man I just saw.

What am I supposed to say here…?

While I was rolling my eyes, not knowing what to answer, the announcement voice came from the speaker on the ceiling.

[‘Meat Lantern’ Abnormality has been subdued. Thank you for your hard work.]

They said the Meat Lantern was caught.

If I stay still like this, the subjugation team will come and catch me, most likely…

I seem to have been screwed.
