Latent Syndrome

Chapter 233 232. Storm is coming

"Forehead……"

Hoshino Manatsu retreated somewhat. Now he is a powerless person. Although he still has some contact with the infected organization Takezakura Club, those soft-footed shrimps cannot control him.

She originally rushed over with the idea of ​​using Colin's influence to study the gem, but she didn't expect that this stupid guy was playing the extremely exciting Metal Gear Solid.

"Don't look like that."

"Now that I've told you, I will never let you go."

"You can refuse if you want, but you may have to endure this guy and live with him for a long time."

Colin pointed at the adhesion on his collar. The moment he pointed towards the black tumor, human-like lips and two rows of ghastly yellow teeth immediately grew.

Seeing Hoshino Manatsu was like seeing extremely delicious prey.

"Hello, miss, can I have dinner with you?"

Opal completely surprised Colin and asked in an extremely gentlemanly manner.

Hoshino Manatsu's eyelids twitched and he almost died of nausea.

Suddenly, her facial expression may have annoyed Opal.

"It's really hurtful."

"Please eat your own vomit."

"Bitch."

Opal made a speech that was as bad as a dick.

Hoshino Manatsu was amused instead, wondering how Colin could keep such a pet.

"Your pet..."

"Quite a personality."

She laughed out loud.

Colin didn't know what to say, pet? He glanced at the tumor and found it hard to equate it with the furry little animal.

Opal became serious and stopped talking nonsense. The evil teeth were clenched together, emitting a cold spell.

"You're trapped in a nightmare."

"You're seeking your own end."

"Is this really what you want?"

After he finished speaking, he closed his lips and returned to the same material as the collar.

Colin has become accustomed to this kind of nonsense. Opal's level of magic is even comparable to that of Violet, and he has vaguely agreed with this so-called fate.

Hoshino Manatsu was a little hesitant when he heard such a magician's speech. What on earth is this sarcoma?

This made her sober up and stop talking nonsense.

"Actually, when I come here this time, I have something to ask you."

"I used to……"

"No, actually it is still the case now. You should know that in addition to SCT, there are also some large-scale infected organizations, but they can't withstand the edge of SCT and act very low-key. For example, the Bamboo Sakura Club where I work only purely wants to make money. .”

"During an operation, I mistakenly entered a place... They called it coordinates, but I didn't understand what organization it was."

"It seems like it comes from the future...or ancient times, whether it's the prismatic buildings or the costumes."

"Each of them looks like they have lived for countless years and are made of nematode worms."

Hoshino Manatsu spoke in detail.

"Nematodes?"

Colin remembered something and asked her to elaborate on it in more details.

Hoshino Manatsu's ability to express was limited. He only said that his whole body was made up of nematocysts, which were twisted and squirming. The very dense and slender gray-white worms formed the physical body.

Colin thought about the way SCT bribed those capitulators and caused chaos within the countermeasures bureau. It also promised eternity and was hosted by a kind of nematode. Is there any connection between the two?

"Anyway."

“They asked me to go find some people and record something.”

"Say it's an important node, an important person."

"Including Gray... and many ordinary people, even gas station workers or call girls."

"They have... incredibly bizarre theories."

"You think you have changed something, but in fact it is an inevitable part."

“Every center is the edge of everything.”

"Every starting point is also the end point."

"Even the changes you are making are part of the observed inevitability, even if you fall into blind rage."

"I can't shake it either."

Hoshino Manatsu said this.

"All things return..."

Colin uttered these words.

"you know?"

Hoshino Manatsu was a little shocked.

Colin shook his head and said that he knew very little, and he only knew it from the mouths of some warlocks, as well as Irina's grandfather. Before his sudden death, he had an epiphany that transcended the universe, and the records he left behind were not allowed to be reproduced in the world. Existence was erased by the supreme power.

But why can the original manuscript survive? Could it be said that this thing, even transcending that great power, is a supreme thing in the true sense?

Hoshino Manatsu sighed, feeling extremely regretful, thinking that he was about to know the truth.

“I couldn’t say no, even though I didn’t know anything about them, I still did things for them.”

"One more thing besides records."

“Take that cerebral fluid with you and give it to the right person at the right moment.”

"Although I don't understand what is correct, I just say... no matter how it is, when the item is handed over, it is already correct."

"I think this is what they call a very important node. I gave it to a lot of people, actively or passively."

"I don't know the names of most of them, including you."

"Perhaps...you are an extremely important node in the Return Circle."

Hoshino Manatsu told the truth, and looked around carefully with a little fear. After confirming that there was nothing extraordinary hanging around, he felt relieved a little.

"Then what?"

Colin listened with some rapt attention. Hoshino Manatsu had no reason to lie to him. That organization...may be able to get to the root of Latent Syndrome, override the Countermeasure Bureau, and even override SCT.

"The last time I returned to coordinates."

"After reporting on the last record and handover."

"Disappeared……"

"It's like a dream, nothing happened."

"Even if I search like crazy all over the world for these so-called coordinates, I still have no clues."

"I just found some people, people like me. They are also record-keepers like me, but they know nothing and don't know more than me."

When she was first freed, Hoshino Manatsu couldn't get excited, and she was finally free, but later she fell into a situation that she couldn't understand. She became obsessed with the truth, and the most basic human desire for knowledge was about to drive her crazy. .

"They left nothing behind, only a necklace, a..."

"The most mysterious stone."

"Like a harbinger of death, occasionally the gems will reflect some images."

"The destined death of some."

After Hoshino Manatsu said this, he was about to turn over the stone and show it to Colin.

However……

In less than ten seconds, her expression first became a little depressed, and then she gradually realized the seriousness of the problem, and her face lost some color.

"What's wrong?"

Colin was concerned.

Right now.

The picture on the picture tube TV was showing a live news broadcast, and the female host was talking about the incident of contagious brain viruses, as well as the video about Los Angeles that has been widely circulated among the public recently.

She was reporting very well, with clear and fluent speech, and a very professional smile on her face, but suddenly, she stopped.

No one knew that she was possessed by an evil spirit, or that some kind of thought was guided and strengthened. Her expression changed, and she became extremely cold, and she talked about extremely terrifying things.

In the most solemn tone.

[The contagious brain virus is a vicious lie used by the government to deceive society into continuing to function. 】

[That video is real. 】

[Latent syndrome is real. 】

[Superpower terrorists are among us...]

Before she could finish speaking.

The live news broadcast came to an abrupt end, turning into a circular image of noise and color blocks, and was stopped urgently.

All the patrons in the bar were in an uproar.

Colin hesitated.

this……

Too sudden...

Too sudden...

Just like a major earthquake, there are no signs at all. When the sky collapses and the ground collapses, everything is too late.
