Chapter 92: Dangerous Object S-109
The scenery outside the car window flew by. Su Xiao lowered the window, and the hot summer breeze blew in. To reach the neighboring city, driving would take at least three hours. Su Xiao was not in a hurry.
"Foreign Seed" was just a general term. The official name of that thing was S-109, named by an organization within a certain Primordial World.
These types of dangerous objects all had different prefixes and suffix numbers. The exact number of danger levels was unclear, but S-class dangerous objects were already extremely dangerous. They needed to be contained or eliminated at the highest level. Intelligence was classified as top secret, and those in the know could not spread it, nor could they rashly enter the "Dangerous Object Vault" without approval.
S-109: the prefix represented the danger level S, while the latter was a more specific danger rating based on the S-level danger. The lower the number, the more dangerous.
109 was a relatively high number within the S-class danger level, but one must not forget one point: this was the Real World. Equipment was sealed in the storage space, and active abilities were also sealed.
There was quite a bit of information about S-109. The most critical points were: do not make eye contact with S-109. Without eye contact, S-109's danger level would drop to A-class.
If eye contact had already been made with S-109, then maintain that eye contact. Never look away or blink, and never move your body, especially raising your hand or stepping back. Otherwise, S-109 would be completely enraged, and the victim's body would be stripped into thousands of strands of flesh, leaving only a skeleton.
Even if the victim was very powerful, their body would be riddled with holes, and they would die from S-109's continuous absorption of Life Force and mental energy.
When in contact with S-109, there were few self-rescue methods. The most common method was "Substitution."
The so-called "Substitution" meant that when "Victim A" was already making eye contact with S-109, "Reinforcer B" would actively stare into S-109's eyes. In this situation, S-109 had a high chance of shifting its gaze and choosing to make eye contact with Reinforcer B.
This way, Victim A could retreat, recover their mental energy, and then substitute for Reinforcer B, cycling through this process to wear down S-109, eventually exhausting it, allowing for sealing and containment.
At first glance, it seemed simple, but it was not. Making eye contact with S-109 was not just about sore eyes; during this time, it would continuously consume mental energy, Mana Points, or other body energy. Once the body energy was depleted, death followed.
While S-109 was making eye contact with any target, one must not attack S-109. Not only would this fail to harm S-109, but it would also indirectly kill Victim A, who was making eye contact with it, and cause S-109 to "Transfer."
Then it would be very difficult to find S-109 again. Worse still, S-109 had growth potential; it grew by feeding on the Life Force, mental energy, and body energy of living beings.
In its original world, S-109 had immortality. Each "death" would only return S-109 to its initial seed state; it was an indestructible containment object.
Of course, this was under the world rules of that Primordial World. In the Real World, whether S-109 could be destroyed was still unknown.
When S-109 grew to the "Split Phase," it was a very dangerous time. S-109 would split into child bodies, which inherited most of S-109's abilities. Even more terrifying was that the child bodies could also grow and enter the "Split Phase," splitting into secondary child bodies.
When S-109 had more than 20 child bodies and more than 150 secondary child bodies, it would absorb the child bodies and secondary child bodies to enter the "Transformation Phase," beginning to shed its shell.
After completing the shedding, S-109 would transform into a giant eye, towering in the sky, spreading "Luring Light" over a radius of 30 to 50 kilometers. All creatures that looked up at S-109 would be considered to have made eye contact with it, their flesh, mental energy, and body energy instantly absorbed, leaving only white bones.
S-109 was ranked lower among S-class dangerous objects mainly because, although its range of effect was large when it reached its complete form, it did not move easily.
Do not think S-109 developed slowly. If it locked onto a few Eighth Rank Contractors, it would enter the "Transformation Phase" in a short time.
Su Xiao's task this time was to eliminate or seal S-109 before it split into child bodies. Its full name was S-109 (Gazing Eye).
Leaning back in the passenger seat, Su Xiao considered what equipment to take out from the storage space. He could only take one piece. In the past, he would definitely take out Dragon-Slaying Flash, but this time the enemy was a dangerous object. Violent means were not ineffective, but the effect was not very obvious. Directly attacking S-109 was unwise; in principle, this thing was only half a living being.
If not taking out Dragon-Slaying Flash, the Black King Bracer was also good; it could exempt near-death. But thinking carefully, in the upcoming actions, exempting near-death was not as good as increasing one's own abnormal attribute resistance. This way, even if he accidentally made eye contact with S-109, he could hold out longer.
Su Xiao took out [Berg Heart (Immortal Rank)] from the storage space. Wearing a black shirt, he put [Berg Heart] around his neck and tucked it into his collar.
Lowering the sun visor, Su Xiao began to rest. How to eliminate or seal S-109 would depend on the situation later. For now, he only hoped that S-109 would follow its instinct and go to the strongest Contractor in the neighboring city. That way, that Contractor could hold off S-109 for a while, curbing its growth speed.
"The strongest Contractor in the neighboring city..."
Su Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the Witch. Over 70% of the high-rank Contractors on their side would voluntarily stay away from densely populated areas like cities. After all, there were too many madmen or monsters on their side. Their passive abilities were very dangerous, and they could inadvertently affect many ordinary people, leading to heavy deductions of authority and Soul Coins, or even more severe punishments.
Someone like Black Demon did not even have the authority to return to the Real World. As for Su Xiao, even if he lived in the city, he would not affect nearby ordinary people, unless he actively acted.
Su Xiao dialed the Witch's phone. After a while, the call was answered. Noticing this, Su Xiao frowned.
"You haven't encountered S-109."
"What are you... talking about? I'm at the beach, a sunny... beach."
"Oh."
Su Xiao made a move to hang up, but the Witch on the phone quickly asked, "My... residence, is something wrong?"
"Not confirmed yet."
"Wait for me... a few minutes. That's actually... Gulu's home. I'll call her... a call."
Hearing this, Su Xiao hung up. Soon, the Witch sent a message via social software, saying that Gulu did not answer the phone, followed by a sticker of a face covering a smile with a fan. The Witch and Gulu were definitely plastic sisters.
"So that wasn't the Witch's home. That means S-109 went to find Gulu?"
Baha in the back seat mused. Ma Fatzi, who was driving, looked puzzled, not knowing what S-109 was.
"I have a feeling this time we're doing something incredible."
Ma Fatzi was awed without knowing why. He felt that his neighbor of many years was becoming more and more mysterious. Not only did he keep a husky that could order takeout, but also a talking... falcon? Wasn't that a protected animal?
Not only that, but he also hired a giant over three meters tall with a fierce look. Just standing near him, Ma Fatzi could feel a chill.
What puzzled him even more was that his neighbor's house recently had a cat. Every time he went over and tried to pet it, the cat stayed far away from him, giving him the feeling that this cat was looking down on him.
"Su Xiao, if you open a zoo, you'll definitely make a fortune."
Ma Fatzi laughed, and the journey was not boring with him and Baha teasing each other.
Three hours later, inside Gulu's villa, Gulu was still staring motionlessly at the face on the wall, making eye contact with those lifeless eyes.
Gulu's eyes were bloodshot. Her mental energy and body energy had been heavily consumed, and she had not blinked for over three hours. Although Gulu killed without blinking, her eyes were really dry now.
"My father, come save me."
Gulu said this without moving her lips. As soon as she spoke, the face on the wall became clearer.
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of knocking came from downstairs. With Gulu's hearing, she immediately heard it. She almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Her thought was: 'What time is it, and you're still knocking? When you broke my leg back then, you weren't this polite. Don't knock; just kick the door down.'
"Ma'am, please sign for your package."
Hearing this shout, Gulu was speechless. What the hell was a package? She was about to die; how could she care about receiving a package?
While Gulu was inwardly speechless, she heard footsteps approaching from the side, making her body tense up.
"Ma'am, your package."
A figure in a top hat stopped outside the bedroom and opened a cardboard box, revealing a tangled mass of bloody flesh threads.
As soon as these flesh threads appeared, they were absorbed by S-109, which was integrated into the wall. In the center of its lifeless, pale eyes, a black dot appeared.
"Who... are you?"
Gulu gritted her teeth and asked, but the newcomer did not answer, only standing silently outside the bedroom door.
Gulu felt something was very wrong. The situation clearly showed that someone had deliberately brought this strange thing into the Real World. The first thing that came to Gulu's mind was a Violator.
The figure outside raised a hand. Just as he was about to act, he seemed to sense something. His eyes showed both surprise and some frustration. He did not intend to let S-109 fully develop; he would take it away when it was about to enter the "Split Phase." He only wanted S-109 to come to the Real World for a preliminary adaptation.
As long as it adapted to the Real World, S-109 could enter some Primordial Worlds without issue. The Real World seemed to have no supernatural power, but it had a very remarkable characteristic.
"Of all people, it had to be that monster handling this matter."
The figure muttered softly, then turned and walked out of the villa. In the Real World, he could not fight that person. Fighting a Four True Attribute development + Technique Type monster here was asking for a short life.
