Chapter 87: Meeting a Stalker
Chapter 87: Meeting a Stalker
I approached Sayo that she was looking at the little girls with a bitter smile.
"What do they do?" - I couldn't help asking.
"Kaede is teaching Shiro acupuncture" - Sayo replied wearily.
"Acupuncture? That looks like torture"- I sighed.
Shiro was digging her fingers into the black haired boy's leg following Kaede's directions.
The boy was unconscious on the ground as the foam came out of his mouth, he must have had a mental breakdown from seeing people being dismembered and then being tortured by Shiro.
To one side was the woman in a lab coat, her body was tied with chains of blood while her mouth was obstructed by a gag so she could only cry and squirm as she watched her son be tortured.
"This makes me feel like we're the bad guys" - Sayo massaged her forehead.
"If I'm not mistaken, that woman is one of those responsible for bringing suffering to Shiro so you can call it Karma" - I shrugged my shoulders, although the woman was attractive if Shiro wanted to kill her to vent I'm not going to stop her.
Tsubaki transformed into her human form. - "Her heart is still human but the amount of negative karma on her is on par with the man named Shido, maybe she is not evil but her actions have brought an enormous amount of pain to innocent people"
"Then I don't feel guilty anymore" - Sayo shrugged and lost interest in the woman. - "Even so, I feel that this is very cruel to the child ..."
I approached Shiro. - "Shiro, what are you doing?"
"Watch Shiro learn! Shiro is a studious girl! " - Shiro smiled at me with authentic happiness as her finger broke a tendon of the child.
"Shiro, do you hate this child?" - Point to the comatose child.
"Hate?" - Shiro tilted her head confused. - "Shiro is a good girl, Shiro doesn't hate"
I smiled, bent down to carry Shiro, and patted his head. - "If you hate someone that's fine, that doesn't make you a bad girl"
Shiro stared at me without blinking for several seconds until her brow furrowed. - "Shiro hates him, Ganta abandoned Shiro, Ganta does not remember Shiro, Ganta left Shiro alone, Ganta left with the woman who hurt Shiro"
"Good girl" - I patted his head and then looked at Sayo. - "It is true that this is cruel and meaningless for us, but for Shiro this is important"
I kept stroking Shiro's hair. - "What is more important? The morale or Shiro's happiness? "
Sayo sighed and then reached over to pat Shiro's head. - "I am worried that in the future you will spoil our daughters, and just so you know, I want three daughters"
… Shit.
"Let's finish this quickly, something is coming" - I sighed and tried to lower Shiro but the little albino refused, she clung to my clothes and like a little monkey, she climbed on my back.
Kaede used her vectors and climbed on my back as well, I ignored the couple of little monsters and walked over to the doctor.
"Listen, if you want you and your son to survive you will answer all my questions" - I used my Intimidation skill making the woman shiver and look at me in horror, but even so she was able to nod.
I removed the gag from her mouth, she didn't scream and she just stared at me, it seems that she understands her situation.
"First question, who are you and what did you come for?" - I looked at the woman.
"Those are two questions, Shiro knows how to count" - Shiro broke the intimidating atmosphere with her antics, I just sighed and ignored her.
"My name is Sorae Igarashi, I am one of the main scientists of Umbrella, I supervised the project to create a new generation of biological weapons called Deadman, the Deadman are-" - Sorae stopped speaking when I raised my hand.
"I already know the Branch of Sin and what you did with Shiro, I want to know how you got to this base" - My words made Sorae show an expression of extreme guilt.
"During the development of the Rotten Egg project, there was a leak incident where the powers of the Rotten Egg, I mean Shiro, went crazy killing several researchers, at that moment I realized the monster that we had created so I did the Mother Goose system System (MGS) to contain his powers and then I left the project to take care of my son, however, the guilt of doing it overwhelmed me and I had thought about committing suicide "
"I made preparations for my son to live well even in my absence, but I received an emergency message notifying that someone infiltrated the Umbrella servers and started the Armageddon project early, the world became what you see now"
"I couldn't abandon my son in such a world especially because he witnessed Shiro's first escape, my son lost his memory and sometimes has blackouts so I was worried about his safety."
"In my house I had the resources to survive for years, but I was forced to leave after receiving a statement from Umbrella headquarters ordering me to support the patriarch of the Takagi family to get Shiro back."
"I accepted as I wanted to make amends for my past mistakes, but I didn't know how to react when I saw that Shiro was accompanied by equally dangerous people ..." - Sorae looked at me with fear and curiosity, it seems that his scientific curiosity was awakened by my existence.
"Didn't they give you more orders?" - This feels very empty.
"No, Umbrella sent 3 genetically enhanced snipers as support, but that was it, I have not received news about the situation in the world so I do not know what happens but it is strange that Umbrella let a dangerous individual like you run loose, in addition to that if my guess is true that horned little girl should be a Diclonius, it seems strange to me that Umbrella did not send an elite force to capture or eliminate them "- Sorae shook his head.
"They sent them, giant gray-skinned men and various creatures without skin or eyes attacked me before but I got rid of them" - My words made Sorae widen his eyes in disbelief.
"You took out a level A elimination squad?! You are a monster!" - Contrary to her words, Sorae's expression was filled with amazement and excitement, as expected from a mad scientist.
I was about to ask more questions, but Sorae went from curiosity to panic. - "Wait, if you eliminated a level A squad they should know that my mission would end in failure unless they only wanted to lure you in to track you down… The egg! Destroy it quickly! "
I hurried to the egg that was broken. - "Giga Drill Break!"
With one blow the egg was completely destroyed.
"No, it's too late, they should already have this location ... If a level A squad can't eliminate you, there is only one option left without relying on nuclear weapons ..." - Sorae turned pale. - "Quick we have to go! He comes!"
I frowned, Isn't something coming but someone? For some reason that gives me a bad feeling.
"Who is coming? Santa Claus? " - Kaede asked curiously.
"The strongest biological organism, the ultimate predator, one of Umbrella's top executives and the only board member who is willing to get his hands dirty, Albert Wesker" - Sorae's voice was full of terror, one more fear. profound that he felt with my Intimidation skill.
"What an exaggerated presentation" - I spoke with irony, it seemed the opening for the arrival of a villain in a show of heroes for children.
"The strongest creature against the strongest man sounds like a good movie" - Sayo scoffed.
"You don't get it! Wesker is a real monster! Even if his head and heart are destroyed he will not die! With the genes of the project Alice he was able to obtain a telekinetic ability without equal! His body is tougher than the gray-skinned men you mentioned! He has resistance to high temperatures and his dense muscular structure allows him to absorb the kinetic force of impacts making him immune to bullets! It's Umbrella's ultimate weapon! " - Sorae was getting more and more desperate.
Well fuck that sounds troublesome.
"Seeing it like this maybe if we should go" - Sayo looked at me seriously. - "I don't want to see you get into a coma again"
"Okay, it's better to take things easy" - I sighed.
I hate putting off trouble, but it would be stupid to fight an enemy whose strength I don't know.
"Shiro, untie her" - I gestured to Shiro as I approached the child.
I did a quick treatment to close his wounds and accommodate his left leg that had been dislocated, Shiro really had fun with this brat.
"Take it and go" - I gestured to Sorae, I'm sure she will want to stay with my group.
Despite the fact that Shiro hurt her son and a few moments ago we were enemies, Sorae understands that Shiro's hatred is for her own actions, in addition to looking at the terror she feels towards Wesker it is clear that she does not expect to be rescued but eliminated.
"I-I ... I have nowhere to go ..." - Sorae carried her son and spoke with a trembling voice, she looked at me full of fear, curiosity, and pleading. - "P-Please let us follow you ..."
I showed a confused expression. - "Follow me? After what we just happened and what your son suffered? "
"It's all my fault, Shiro became a monster for my actions and I want to compensate her, also, Umbrella will try to eliminate me to prevent my knowledge from being used by others, Umbrella prefers to eliminate variables instead of rescuing captives, please, I do not have to where else to go "
I pretended to think deeply about it.
I'm not interested in adding her to my harem, but her knowledge is helpful in building a scientific team plus she knows the location of the Umbrella base in Japan which would be helpful.
But in the end, it is not my decision. - "Shiro, do you want her to join our group?"
Shiro tilted her head and smiled. - "Shiro wants her to come so that she can play a lot with Shiro!"
There was a bit of expectation in her voice, it seems that she does not hate them completely and there is still a trace of affection towards these two people, but the cruelty inside her was greater so it is likely that Shiro only wants to punish them.
"Well Sayo please take Sorae and her son to the evacuation point and then come back, explain the situation to Yuko" - I gestured to Sayo.
Sayo nodded and left while I stayed in the place full of corpses.
Madness appeared in its real form beside me. - "Eat? Woof "
"Yes" - I nodded.
Madness smiled and rushed to devour the corpses, I need to replenish energy in case something unexpected comes up.
"Come Shiro" - I gestured to Shiro.
Shiro approached, I put a hand on her stomach and through a blood needle, I transferred various nutrients to her body to help her replenish her blood.
Although Shiro has a very powerful healing factor, she has the same weakness as me, she consumes a lot of energy and nutrients.
With my other hand, I made a blood needle and inserted it into her ear reaching her auditory nerves.
The proper musical frequency can negate her abilities so change the way she perceives sounds a bit, this would improve Shiro's hearing a bit and help the MGS not be able to deny her powers.
Just in case I did the same with Kaede and myself, it will be a problem if Umbrella found a way to deny my abilities.
While waiting for Sayo I could see a motorcycle approaching at high speed.
I was about to order Shiro to shoot him, but I saw someone who was not expecting.
Shizuka told me several anecdotes about her best friend Rika Minami, as she always protected her since they were children to the point that Shizuka suspected that Rika was a lesbian but that was an unfounded suspicion, in fact, Rika loved Shizuka as if she were her younger sister already that Rika lost her family at an early age.
The point is that Shizuka showed me several pictures and when I saw the woman on the motorcycle I recognized her as Shizuka's friend.
I promised Shizuka that if I found her friend I would help her, but I didn't expect to see her right now.
I waited for her to get closer, just in case I used a Ki pulse to check for bombs on her body in case it was a trap, but she was only carrying a rifle, a military knife, and a walkie-talkie.
When Rika saw us she slowed down and skidding in a cool way she stopped in front of us like she was in an action movie.
"Are you Shizuka's boyfriend?" - Rika looked at me seriously.
Does she know me? How does she know me? How does she know about my relationship with Shizuka?
I put on an expression of innocent surprise as I sharpened my senses in case this was a trap.
"That's right, you must be Rika, Shizuka has told me a lot about you" - I smiled kindly as if we were old acquaintances.
Rika smiled. - "I didn't expect you to be so young, to think that Shizuka would prefer young men ... Well it doesn't matter, thank you very much for taking care of her until now"
Rika was genuinely grateful to me, the affection she showed when talking about Shizuka is how a loving family should be, it was annoying to me.
Rika took out the walkie-talkie that she had hooked on the strap of her military belt, she turned it on and handed it to me. - "You need to hear this"
I took the walkie-talkie with curiosity hoping to clear my doubts.
The radio made a static sound and then a female voice rang out.
"Fufufu, it's a pleasure to finally talk to you, let me introduce myself, I'm Monika, the main administrator of Umbrella's Japanese headquarters, I'm your biggest fan ~" - The voice was nice to hear and seemed to belong to a teenage woman, but somehow I felt that the emotions in the voice were slightly synthetic as if the woman did not possess real emotions.
"Are you the one who has been watching me?" - I have no time for subtleties and this woman gives me an uncomfortable feeling.
"Fufufu, as expected of the man I chose, so insightful ~ that's right, I have been monitoring you, unfortunately, I was not the only one who saw your potential, my two older sisters also noticed you, one of them shares my thought that you are a man which is worth observing and supporting, but my older sister sees you as a threat so you are in danger "- At all times Monika's voice sounded cheerful and affectionate like a cloying wife, which was unnatural.
Humans have variations in their emotions and even the voice has slight changes in intonation that show their true emotions, only a true manipulator or liar can regulate these changes, but this woman did not have the slightest change, which was suspicious.
"You mean Albert Wesker?" - I put aside my discomfort as I need information.
"Oh, to think that you would already know, very interesting fufufu ~ That's right, Mr. Wesker arrived on the coast of Japan a few hours ago and met with the remnants of the Japanese armed forces since Umbrella and the Japanese government had a collaboration Mr. Wesker took command of the armed forces and is now mobilizing the main brigade to attack the Takagi mansion while sending three-light squadrons towards your main base at the school ~ "- Monika calmly narrated.
I'm definitely in deep shit.
"In the days that I have been gathering information about you, I discovered your connection with the Marikawa Shizuka woman, which led me to the Minami Rika woman, I was able to intercept the signal from this radio to warn her that her friend is in danger and with my instructions she was able to contact you ~ "- Monika finished her explanation.
Rika nodded. - "It seemed strange to me that we were ordered to listen to the orders of an executive of a pharmaceutical company, Monika explained the truth behind Umbrella and although I still find it difficult to believe everything she said, I cannot take the risk that Shizuka is in danger"
"I understand the general situation, I just want to know one thing, why are you helping me?" - I asked Monika.
She is in charge of Umbrella's headquarters in Japan so her actions go against Umbrella's interests.
"Fufufu, very simple, my father wanted me to be the ideal and perfect wife, after much analysis I determined that if I want to achieve the goal of my birth I need to find the perfect husband ~" - Monika gave me such a stupid explanation that I stopped myself from sighing.
If she is lying then she does not know how to lie, but if she is telling the truth then the plot armor is absurd.
For now, I will accept her answer as I have no other options. - "Thanks Monika, if I can get out of this in one piece it would be nice to meet us"
"Fufufufu, I like how that sounds ~" - Monika showed the first variation in her emotions and she sounded a bit more cheerful, I have the feeling that I am getting into something troublesome.
"For now I have to prepare myself, Monika I would like you to give me all the information you have about Wesker, the military forces that accompany him, and any possible variable that may occur if I face him" - I sent a message to Navi to alert all my harem about what was about to happen.
I can't go to help my main base as then Wesker would chase me and that would put my wives at risk, it is best to confront them here and set up some traps.
"Fufufu, of course, you have 2 hours for the arrival of Mr. Wesker" - Monika began to tell me all the important information about Wesker's abilities, some data were only theories since Wesker's full power was not registered in the Umbrella servers but with what Monika knew, I knew I'm in fucking trouble.
Rika explained to me in detail the structure of the armed forces and offered ideas for a guerrilla war.
My group is stronger individually, but we are outnumbered and outgunned, the worst part is that Wesker is likely stronger than me based on Monica's information.
"I have an idea, woof" - Mini Madness appeared next to me.
"A talking dog?" - Rika was surprised, but I didn't have time to explain.
Madness pointed out to Shido that he had been lying on the ground in a fetal position while was crying.
Since Madness and I are connected I understood the idea of her instantly.
"This will be horrible ..." - I sighed, but I couldn't contain my smile.
My path as a mad scientist is beginning.
