Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 928: Berserk

The bizarre entity gave no response whatsoever to Anna's words and continued its leisurely approach. It used its grotesque tentacles to prop itself on the ground and looked over Anna.

The disgusting, diseased water dripping off its figure landed on Anna's face. The liquid seemed intangible, seemingly phasing through Anna's skin and muscles before sliding down her spine and dripping onto the ground.

Anna willed, and the corrosive green flame next to her instantly grew larger, engulfing the bizarre entity.

For the first time ever, however, the corrosive green flame that was capable of incinerating everything failed to serve its purpose. It phased through the bizarre entity's chest.

Clearly, the bizarre entity was not a physical entity; perhaps it was just a projection of its true body.

Unfortunately for Anna, the bizarre entity's advance remained unthwarted, and upon seeing that the entity's grotesque figure was about to make contact with her, Anna manipulated the corrosive green flame to scorch her restraints.

The restraints were instantly reduced to ashes, freeing Anna, but she still couldn't move an inch. The anesthetic's effect had yet to fade. She couldn't move a single finger and could only watch helplessly as the bizarre entity made contact with her.

Finally, the bizarre entity touched her. It phased through Anna, and its bizarre-looking head overlapped with Anna's head. Anna trembled involuntarily, and her limbs lost their natural color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scene was captured by the surveillance cameras, and it was projected onto the large screen in the adjacent monitoring room. Carlo, Lucius, and other IMF members held their breaths, watching nervously.

"What do you think? Will 451 be effective on 315?" Carlo asked, sounding uneasy. He was pacing back and forth before the wall-sized screen.

"It's definitely going to be effective. 451 is not an ordinary entity. It's a Level B Anomaly. The organization paid a heavy price to bring it under control. 451 will certainly be able to find what we want from 315's mind."

Meanwhile, Anna saw a peculiar scene. The bizarre entity had dragged her out of her chair, but when she looked back, she found another Anna in the chair behind her.

The Anna in the chair looked languid with dilated pupils as if she were dying. The bizarre entity was still in front of her, and it seemed to be emitting a divine light.

The next moment, 451's chest burst open, and more than ten slender and pitch-black hands rushed out of the hole. They grabbed Anna's figure and tore off a huge chunk of her body before retracting into 451's chest.

As soon as a chunk of her soul was ripped off of her, Anna felt extreme pain akin to being cut by thousands of knives. Her soul body screamed in pain, and its humanoid form began to collapse, transforming into a Dioite with writhing tentacles

"You will pay for what you have done today!" Anna roared at the bizarre entity.

Before she could speak any further, she was dragged into her physical body.

"What exactly are you?" Lucius muttered, looking at Anna's back.

He was truly convinced that by bringing in 451 and conducting an Anomaly Interaction Experiment, they'd learn everything there was to know about her.

However, the outcome was truly out of their expectations.

At first, Lucius found it absurd that the headquarters had classified her as "Keter." He felt that "Keter" was too high of a threat level to assign to Anna, but it turned out that the joke was on him; the headquarters hadn't made any mistakes.

"Captain Lomonosov, take 315 back to the containment chamber."

A man towering nearly two meters tall with a gun in hand nodded at Lucius' words. He was the captain of a combat team, so he asked no questions and stood ramrod straight, saluting Lucius before walking toward the automatic door with his subordinates.

Meanwhile, Carlo was still busy in his attempts to extract more information from 451. He looked at the parchment in his hand and kneaded his forehead in frustration. The text written on the parchment had become intelligible, and even their advanced translation device could no longer understand it.

Left with no choice, Carlo quickly came up with another solution in his final attempt. "From now on, stop writing and use drawings instead. Draw the appearance of the god in 315's memories and show it to me."

A new piece of yellowed parchment was slid into the gap in the box.

Carlo waited anxiously for the response.

A few seconds later, the wooden box cracked open slightly, and Carlo hurried over at the sight of it.

When Carlo reached the wooden box, the crack abruptly widened, and the entire wooden box was lifted before crashing into Carlo's figure. The impact sent Carlo flying across the room.

A massive tentacle that seemed to be made out of flesh lashed out from the wooden box. The tentacle swept past someone's head, and their pupils dilated instantly; their knees went weak, and they collapsed to the floor, never to stand up again.

Moments later, 451's massive and terrifying figure crawled out of the wooden box, and it pounced unhesitantly toward the crowd of people in the room.

In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with blood and gore.

"451 is going berserk in Monitoring Room 14 on the 8th Floor! Close all the isolation walls on Floors 7, 8, and 9!"
