Chapter 113: Trinity Research Institute: 3rd Division (3)

Inside the cold, solid prison of Trinity Research Institute, a man was lost in deep regret.

He silently scolded himself as his mind swirling with self-reproach.

It was a storm of self-reproach that was caused by the fact that he had made a grave mistake in bringing his daughter to Trinity Research Institute, which he once believed to be the most trustworthy organisation as well as the best place for science in the entire world.

The man was just trying to grant the earnest wish of his daughter who desperately wanted to see the Gray Reaper. He never thought something like this would be happening.

He thought the Trinity Research Institute would be the safest place to see the Gray Reaper, so he made a reservation to see the Gray Reaper, but... He and his daughter ended up being locked in a cage that was used to imprison countless terrified people.

In this dark situation, he could hear his daughter's voice which was filled with fear.

"Daddy...."

“It’s okay. It’ll be okay.”

The man suppressed his fear as much as he could and tried to comfort his daughter with his usual voice.

When the man saw his daughter's usual bright face stricken with fear, he felt regret once again.

It looked like no one related to Objects could be trusted!

“This is kidnapping and confinement!”

“You guys are in big trouble! Do you know who I am?”

People who were angry because they couldn’t fathom what was happening made their voice heard. Before long, he was surrounded by a cacophony of protests and pleas from others.

As he held his trembling daughter closer, the man began to fall into deep thoughts.

It was obvious that the protests and anger of the imprisoned people would not make the situation better. In fact, the institute’s employees who were hanging around the room didn't seem to care about the protests.

Would such a threat really work against the people who dared to carry out this kind of kidnapping?

When the man saw the employees walking around confidently without even hiding their identities, he had a bad feeling.

Even mundane robbers would kill any witnesses who see their faces, so what would Trinity Research Institute employees do?

It would be reasonable to assume that they were going to kill them.

If they told him they would release him later, he wouldn't believe it.

At that moment, the numerous corruptions that were revealed during the collapse of the Central Research Institute came to his mind.

Instigation of murder, concealment of corpses, and using homeless people as food for Objects.

All kinds of terrible things came to the man’s mind before disappearing again.

It was a terrible case that occurred in the Central Research Institute, so it was a big mistake to believe that it would also happen at Trinity.

At that moment, a thunderous voice exploded right next to the man.

"You! I have remembered your face! Once I get out of here, you're done, you bastard!"

Those words came out with such a ferocious force that the man could feel the air being pushed out.

When the man turned his head to check, he could see a muscular, angry old man there.

The old man's face was distorted because of anger. It also turned bright red as he continued to threaten in a deafening voice.

He even took off his shirt and threw it at the researchers while screaming.

That shout became a catalyst for change in the attitude of researchers who had been indifferent until now.

Researchers who had maintained their cool attitude until now suddenly showed a change in behavior. Their eyes glinted dangerously as strange smiles began to spread on their faces.

At that moment, the man's primal protective instinct surged.

The man reached out to her daughter and held his daughter's hand tightly. Then, he made his way through the crowd with his daughter in tow.

He then hid among the people to avoid the intense gaze of the researchers and watch the situation unfold.

The researchers, whose attitude suddenly changed, slowly approached the old man.

After looking at the prisoners as if glancing around for meat at a meat shop, one particular researcher whipped his neck back and asked his colleagues.

“We don’t have to keep everyone alive, do we?”

“Huh? Y-yeah.”

At the same time, fear and shock spread among the prisoners.

It wasn't simply because of the scary words the researcher just said.

It was because the researcher's arm had transformed from that of a human to that of a monster.

Then, the researcher used the sharp nails on his grotesque arms to grab the old man tightly.

Crack-!

Before long, the sound of something breaking reverberated through the room.

The old man screamed in pain and begged for his life, but his neck was broken before long.

The researchers of Trinity no longer seemed like ordinary researchers.

No, they didn’t even look like humans.

Their expressions were twisted with malice and hunger.

Their bodies were also twisting grotesquely.

They were nothing but monsters.

Perhaps because the people had finally realized that the possibility of them coming out from this place alive was extremely slim, the inside of the cage became quiet.

Fear, shock, and despair spread in the prison together with the silence.

The loyal soldiers followed the woman's orders and lashed towards the Gray Reaper with their vicious claws.

At that time, the Gray Reaper did something incomprehensible.

It spun around and applauded.

From that incomprehensible action, an incomprehensible result emerged.

The soldiers which were attacking the spinning Gray Reaper, suddenly attack each other and fall apart.

At first, the woman thought it was nothing but coincidence.

Even though it was an ability they had observed during its battle with the Hungry Ghost, at that time it was limited to just destroying the terrain. Even in the institute analysis, it was treated as a half-baked ability that couldn’t directly affect Objects.

The Gray Reaper jumped to the right twice, and stomped the floor.

Then, the soldier who was chasing it on all fours was caught in the strong wire and their neck was snapped and broken.

The soldiers were taken aback by the Gray Reaper's playful gestures.

It's ridiculous, the ability worked on Objects!

The Gray Reaper clapped its hands twice and held the wire with its fingers.

Then, wires came down from the ceiling as if it had exploded and electrified the remaining soldiers.

In an instant, about a dozen soldiers died.

However, the remaining soldiers were still charging at the Gray Reaper. It was just the woman who crept behind them.

After all, she realized that she could never win with the power of the soldiers alone.

Even though the Gray Reaper's gaze seemed to be looking at its enemies, it also seemed to be looking at something else.

At that moment, It felt like the reluctance she felt in her instinct was encroaching her whole body.

No matter how much she tried to suppress it with logic, her anxiety still refused to go away.

Just what on earth did the Gray Reaper look at?

The woman turned around at that moment and began to run away.

She needed to buy time.

So, she decided to run towards the security personnel.

If it was there, she could buy some time.

The director was the only hope to kill that monster!

Clap-! Clap-!

Thud-! Thud-!

As she watched the soldiers dying with only the sound of hand clap and feet stomping the floor, the woman began to run away in a panic.

*******As soon as the researchers received the call, they began to slowly approach the people inside the cage.

The researchers were no longer in their human form, they had turned into monsters who had shed their human appearance.

The moment all prisoners thought it was the end of the road for them, something strange happened.

An unidentified character that they couldn’t understood appeared in the air.

< 100="" needles="" made="" of="" water!="">

Then, a small stream of water flew out and left one researcher in tatters.

< 1,000="" needles="" made="" of="" water!="">

< 10 needles made of water! >

The blue reapers attacked the researchers by writing beautifully in the air.

But the researchers were persistent.

No matter how injured they were, they just regenerated and stood up again.

Their numbers were also numerous on top of that.

More researchers constantly poured out from the nearby buildings.

It was a number that 10 Blue Reapers could not possibly fight against.

Then, 10 Blue Reapers gathered together and wrote something big in the air.

< golem="" of="" the="" strongest="" being="" in="" the="" world,="" mother!="">

< Golem! >

A huge amount of water pooled in the air at that moment, casting a shadow on the ground.

Then, a huge 5m tall Gray Reaper-shaped mass of water roared.

“Boooooom!”

Before long, the Gray Reaper Golem turned the researchers into blood clots with its enormous mass and speed.

< mom="" is="" strong!="">

< Strong! >

After clearing the surroundings, the golem let out a loud roar again.
