I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 422

–

Corman, the leader of the Shinoroku Cartel, has been having trouble sleeping for several months.

Cyborgs are insomniacs. It was a dull joke, but it was true.

It all started the day his ship was replaced by a Megacorp mining ship.

A few months ago now. As usual, while taking the designated route, I happened to spot a passing mining ship.

I was happy to earn some credit for a while, but then a monster appeared and ruined everything. The monster destroyed the pirate ship, planted something on the heads of the survivors, including him, and then left.

At the time, I thought I was lucky to be alive, but I was wrong. ‘Something’ that entered my head began to cause me pain periodically. Daily life was almost impossible because of the pain that came at any time.

Moreover, when I tried to get rid of ‘something’ or tried to talk about it with others, it caused even more pain. It’s like telling yourself not to even dream.

After the day he encountered the monster, Corman’s life quickly deteriorated. I was just forced to live in a prison created inside my body.

Fortunately, he was able to survive because he was a cyborg, but the others were not. Except for him, everyone else went crazy and ran out of space to end their lives.

Is it because every day feels like hell? Even though I received a summons from the head of the Shino Group, I was not particularly happy.

Until now, operations planned directly by the commander-in-chief have always brought great profits. It would happen again this time, but Corman couldn’t be happier. Because credit doesn’t cure the pain.

Of course, it is nonsense to disobey the leader’s call. Immediately after receiving the call, the Shinoroku Cartel took immediate action.

And today marks one week since Corman joined the Shino Group’s fleet.

“Boss, we will arrive in 10 minutes.”

“....”

“Boss?”

Corman, who had his eyes closed, came to his senses when he heard a voice calling him.

“They say there are 10 minutes left to arrive at the destination.”

“destination?”

Corman opened his eyes and looked around. Pirates wearing reinforced suits were seen sitting in a row inside a large transport ship.

Only then did he realize what he had been doing.

“Are you okay?”

“Uh, uhh. “I have something to think about for a moment.”

“yes?”

“I understand first. Everyone, be ready to move as soon as we land.”

“yep.”

Tens of minutes ago, the leader of the Shinoichi Cartel gave him an order. There’s a problem with the terraforming facility that manages standby conditions in AG-01. Go and fix it.

So, while I was traveling on a transport ship with my subordinates, I fell asleep.

‘I took a nap?’

Before coming here, he had never slept comfortably. It was because of the damn intruder inside my head.

But after landing on this planet, the headache completely disappeared.

It’s not that ‘something’ is dead or missing. For some reason, it became inactive after landing on AG-01. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to fall into such a deep sleep.

‘Fuck, I don’t mind the reason.’

Now is an opportunity when ‘something’ is quietly present. Once this is over, we have to get rid of him right away.

I heard that this planet was once a Hulk mutant testing ground. If so, there would also be high-performance surgical equipment. If you ask the vice-minister of the Shinoni side who came here first, you will get the answer you want.

「What should I do?」

‘Huh?’

The subordinate’s voice mixed with mechanical sounds woke him up again.

‘uh?’

When he came to his senses, there were pirates wearing helmets in front of him. The space he was standing in was not a transport ship either.

A lot of water on the floor, a dark space where the only light was the headlights on the pirates’ helmets, and the sound of the fierce wind outside.

Where they were was inside a broken terraforming facility.

‘When did you get here...?’

As I asked myself, what happened just a moment ago slowly came to mind.

Despite the rough weather, the transport ship landed safely in front of the terraforming facility. As soon as Shinoroku’s members got off, they quickly ran inside the facility.

This building is filled with facilities and machines for climate and environmental control. The space that facility managers can use privately is extremely limited. When it comes to rest facilities, there are only a few of them.

But there was no trace of the intruder.

“There’s no place here?”

“No, there’s still one place left.”

“Yes?”

Corman pointed to the end of the hallway. There was a large elevator door that was tightly closed.

“It could be hiding in there.”

“No matter what, it’s a little bit over there...”

“Or it could be lying down.”

“No.”

Seeing the leader aiming a plasma rifle at them, the pirates immediately walked towards the elevator.

“open it.”

The personnel who brought the plasma cutter came to the front and began to open the closed elevator door. A green light illuminated the dark hallway for a moment before the thick metal door opened making a noise.

The pirate in the lead checked the inside of the empty elevator shaft.

“I can’t see anything?”

“Did you check properly?”

“Yes. Looking at it again...huh? “I see something!”

The subordinate, who was forced to look down the elevator shaft, bent down inside as if he had noticed something.

「What is that....」

Then suddenly something big came out from inside.

Those were pathologically white hands. The hand, which was larger than the elevator, grabbed the pirate and disappeared down the shaft.

“Huh?”

“What was that just now?”

The other pirates who were watching blankly also slowly realized the reality. The fact that a non-human being snatched away my companion.

「Monster, monster!」

「Fuck! I can’t contact you!”

“Boss! How do I do this!”

Screams of fear coming through the speakers inside the helmet. Corman also tried to give orders quickly.

‘You’re here’

If it weren’t for the command I heard in my head.

「Why again...Ugh?!」

When he came to his senses, he unconsciously dropped the plasma rifle he was holding on the floor.

The hallway that had been fine until just now suddenly became a ruin. There were traces of melting from plasma on the walls and ceiling, and corpses with their limbs torn off were lined up on the floor.

“Oh, no! What I did....’

‘Come here’

Before he knew it, he was in the elevator. The numbers displayed on the location indicator were seen changing rapidly.

「Stop it!」

「Ding. 4th floor underground. The door opens.”

The elevator door opens with a cheerful alarm. Regardless of his will, his body moved outside on its own.

‘this way’

A hand lost control and removed the helmet from his head. It was hard to believe that it was inside a terraforming facility, so thick moisture and a foul smell covered my face.

There, the owner of the White Hand was waiting for Corman.

“Fuck, fuck! This is my body! “No one can control me!”

The elevator door is about to close. The light also fades out.

It wasn’t hard to guess what would happen when that light went out. Corman muttered frantically.

“This is my body! This is my body! This is my body! “This is my body!”

“It’s been a while.”

The pale being in front whispers to him.

No, to be exact, he is whispering to ‘something’ inside his head.

“This is my body. This is my body...”

The door closed. Cyborg’s voice also went out.
