Chapter 1892: Chapter 1890: Rotes and His Sister
Containment Name: ’She’
ID: Original-033
Type of Instability: Monstrous
Level of Instability: Prince (Jack)
*A special symbiotic entity (Original-033-I), a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance who must wear glasses at all times. Despite being a secondary entity, he plays an indispensable role in symbiosis and restraint for ’She’.
Through multiple ███ tests, when Original-033-I is in a state of apparent death, ’She’ will shed the symbiotic relationship and exist independently, greatly increasing the danger level by several stars.
As Original-033-I revives, the symbiosis and restraint functions will re-form, causing ’She’ to become docile again, and if no special conditions are triggered, no threat will occur.
"Containment Measures":
Due to the existence of the symbiotic relationship, Original-033-I must be contained in a residential area of over 120m^2 and provided with all kinds of spiritual and material needs to ensure his mental state remains at a "pleasant" level, preferably not below "bland".
The room must be sealed in a structure with soul isolation material above the eighth floor, with soul quality monitoring equipment set between the layers, continuously analyzing the soul quality fluctuation status 24/7.
Additionally, staff equipped with soul protection traits and interference devices need to provide daily needs, even disguising as neighbors for friendly contact.
Under specific conditions ①②③ (Information related to specific conditions has been erased), with the consent of at least one core member of the Committee (original), the Black Tower Control Bureau can require Original-033-I to cooperate in soul-related research work.
This process requires real-time monitoring of ’Her’ soul index by more than three senior engineers; any exceeding the preset value will immediately interrupt the work for forced containment.
"Description":
’She’ is a spirit life form in the appearance of a young woman whose facial features can move freely to different positions, often preferring to swap the positions of her ears and eyes, and attach her ears simultaneously to an object for ’listening’.
Originating from the Primary World World (Base-118), Minghua State.
The initial anomalous place, located within a shop named "Rotes Optician".
Since the Primary World World is based on the absolute stability construction of the Black Tower itself, conducting truth sealing throughout the world, individuals can only be common life forms, unable to pursue any magic, mysticism, or supernatural powers, etc.
Extremely rare, even impossible to have ’anomalous events’.
To not affect the normal operation of the Primary World World, and decrease ’interference value’, the Black Tower Employee suppressed to ordinary people conducted related investigations of the optician.
The initial investigated intelligence indicated that the optician was jointly run by a brother and sister.
To be precise, the brother dragged along a sister with severe mental illness, unable to take care of herself.
Though life was tough, the brother persisted, managing the shop while always needing to take care of the sister locked in the optical store’s back room.
However.
Soon, the Black Tower Employee noticed anomalies; one attracted the owner’s attention, while another slipped into the back room, finding no trace of the ’sister’ rumored by nearby residents.
Yet, they heard bizarre sounds, even footsteps, as if an invisible ’sister’ resided there.
After gathering clear anomalous intelligence, employees applied to regain abilities for a comprehensive investigation.
Upon investigation,
The shop owner, Mr. Rotes (Original-033-I), indeed had a twin sister, only she had died long ago.
In their childhood, their home was invaded by a group of cult members; both parents were killed, and the siblings were captured to the cult lair, enduring abuse.
When the state police discovered the cult lair, they wiped it out, but the sister had already died inside... Only the brother Rotes barely survived, but the trauma to his mind was irreparable.
The young Rotes was sent to the best local orphanage, with government-arranged psychologists to resolve his psychological issues.
As soon as Rotes opened his eyes, terrifying images would flood his memories.
After lengthy psychological treatment, layered psychological suggestions buried deep, the psychologist gave Rotes a pair of glasses as a ’gift’... Once worn, the buried psychological suggestions would take effect, effectively filtering out the terrifying images from his memories.
Finally allowing Rotes to live a normal life.
However...
This pair of glasses, while filtering out most terrifying memories, couldn’t filter out the dead sister, even refracting more ’clearly’.
Because he knew the sister had died, he called the woman seen through the glasses ’She’.
Whenever wearing glasses, ’She’ exists no matter the occasion.
Whether squatting at the hallway’s end in the orphanage,
Or blending into the crowd to play, showing a peculiar smile or waving actively,
Or hiding beneath the bed’s covers while sleeping, and the ’She’ in the glasses also grew alongside Rotes.
Gradually,
Rotes even discovered, the ’She’ in the glasses could intervene in reality.
The orphanage often emitted barefoot walking sounds; everyone couldn’t see, only Rotes knew ’She’ wandered back-and-forth inside the room,
Or played with the ball alone in the hallway,
Even when Rotes played with other children, ’She’ first smiled at Rotes, then pushed someone heavily.
A series of haunted events at the orphanage even drew attention from the church, but even clergy arriving couldn’t impact ’Her’ life.
All these settled down when Rotes left the orphanage.
As an adult, Rotes, with love for glasses, opened an optician.
Due to ’Her’ existence, the optician occasionally emitting odd sounds claims to customers a sister unable to care for herself lives here.
However,
The problem occurred.
Any customer purchasing glasses would gradually see a ’She’, initially only occasionally appearing in a corner, vanishing in a blink.
Over time, ’Her’ appearance frequency increased.
And ’She’ could influence reality even if the glasses were destroyed; this condition persisted until the individual went mad or died of suicide.
Ultimately, controlling Rotes (Original-033-I) and returning him to the Black Tower, his instability index exceeded limits, being rare Base Control Loss Body.
The Control Bureau also paid great attention to Rotes.
During a few years of containment, not limited by the Primary World World, Rotes grew rapidly,
His instability level growth even ranked top three in B.B.C.
What’s more important.
’She’ and Rotes’ growth rates completely synchronized, both reaching Jack Level in less than thirty years.
...
"She’s on your back."
At Rotes’ reminder, Han Dong immediately felt something cold sticking to his back, and even had direct hair contact sensation.
Turning around.
Demon Eye immediately captured a slightly unclear spiritual entity.
Like a skinny woman, clinging to Han Dong’s back, listening to strange soul sounds... Such attachment completely deprived Han Dong’s "hearing".
However,
Han Dong didn’t fight back, struggle, or make escape actions.
Still keeping a gentle smile, "Miss, you ought not hear any hostility between my souls? Could we talk now?"
When Han Dong asked,
’She’ disappeared from the back, Demon Eye completely lost the target.
Seeing ’Her’ earlier was seemingly due to Rotes’ suggestion role,
At this time, Rotes stepped forward, taking out a new pair of glasses from the pocket.
"Handing it to you, ’She’ wants to talk with you..."
Han Dong took this eerie pair of glasses, paused in silence, and put them on.
In the field of vision,
The skinny woman already sat in front of him; a mouth torn by torment revealing a rare smile, seemed quite intrigued by Han Dong.
