Cyberpunk Maniac

Chapter 22: Chapter 8 Temporary Workers_2



There was another sentence written on the back of the document.

'Wherever I have gone, all things shall turn into the shadow of death.'

Safety management measures,

Updated 07.57,

'20-foot container, one, to be used for sealing. The details of the ritual are listed in...

...two bodies, placed at both ends of the 20-foot container.

Tie both ends of A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement simultaneously to the...hands.

...Death contract rules conflict, mutually incompatible, can be suppressed by utilizing...to absorb the rule power of A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement.

Safety management countermeasures in case of failure,

In the event of a safety hazard, a temporary worker, note: must be a living person, will take custody of A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement.

During custody, drugs and continuous electrodes should be used in conjunction to prevent the custodian from falling asleep.

Once dreaming, ... will propose a contract in the custodian's dream.

Choosing to refuse will allow wakefulness, but each refusal inflicts great psychological and physiological strain on the custodian, leading to rapid cellular aging.

Please note, the custodian must be physically healthy, without any underlying diseases, and expected to have a remaining lifespan greater than ten years.

Please note, A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement must not be placed with a corpse!

Additionally, please regularly replace and destroy the...used for the custody of A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement to prevent...ascension.'

"..."

Li Pan looked at a pile of '...' in silence for a while, then stood up and peered into the office through the window.

Then he saw the 'dead' suit, standing straight up like a person, grinding beans and making coffee in the pantry.

Li Pan closed the door, checked the computer, made a phone call.

"Hello, so, uh, my suit seems to have turned into a zombie, what should I do? Got a dry cleaner's number?"

Although the landline didn't have the number of a dry cleaner, it still came up with quite a few ideas.

"Warehouse 1, Pen/Strong Exorcism,

Evaluation, yellow, controllable.

Pen/Strong Exorcism can exorcise the majority of Monsters that have not completed their descent.

Usage method,

A temporary worker takes out the Pen/Strong Exorcism, inserts it into the eyeball, and squeezes the pen to draw ink.

The temporary worker uses the Pen/Strong Exorcism on the Monster.

Side effects,

Permanent sorrow and blindness, cannot be reset."

"Warehouse 16, Baton/Justice Strike,

Evaluation, yellow, controllable.

Baton/Justice Strike can knock down any Monster that embodies justice.

Usage method,

At least two temporary workers are needed,

The temporary workers must fight in the presence of Baton/Justice Strike, with the survivor marked as 'unjust'.

In the presence of Baton/Justice Strike, utilize the 'unjust' temporary worker against the Monster.

As long as the 'unjust' temporary worker is killed, the Monster will then be marked as 'just'.

Thereafter, anyone holding Baton/Justice Strike can knock down the 'just' Monster and execute it.

Side effects,

Anyone holding Baton/Justice Strike can surely knock down a 'just' Monster, and the Monster cannot fight back, but Baton/Justice Strike can only cause blunt trauma, and continuous beating is necessary to ensure the kill.

The duration depends on the 'just' Monster's resistance to baton blows and the user's stamina.

If the user dies before achieving the 'kill,' it cannot be reset, and the definitions of 'unjust' and 'just' must be reestablished.

Therefore, please prepare a surplus of temporary workers."

"Warehouse 39, Child-Sending God Statue/Summon Familiar

Evaluation, yellow, controllable.

Child-Sending God Statue/Summon Familiar can summon a Familiar to fulfill a wish within the Familiar's power.

Usage method,

Require one temporary worker, male or female, to pray for pregnancy before the Child-Sending God Statue/Summon Familiar.

The next day, the temporary worker will be pregnant, and by the third day, they will give birth.

The temporary worker will birth a stillbirth/Familiar.

Use the temporary worker against the Monster, and upon the death of the temporary worker, the Monster will be destroyed by the stillbirth/Familiar.

Side effects,

Almost no side effects, the power of the Familiar is equivalent to that of an Angel Envoy, and it only requires the sacrifice of one temporary worker.

After summoning the stillbirth/Familiar, immediately use the temporary worker; otherwise, after three days, the stillbirth/Familiar will consume the temporary worker and complete... descent."

"Warehouse 42, Serpent Wine/Dragon Blood

Evaluation, yellow, controllable.

Usage method,

Drink, transform, obtain Dragon's Power.

Side effects,

The transformation is permanent, cannot be reset.

Note, consuming Serpent Wine/Dragon Blood will cause temporary workers to become uncontrollable, necessitating immediate termination or containment.

For strategies and management methods, please refer to the memorandum on subproject Dragon Descendants..."

"Sss... Son of a b*tch... Temporary workers have no rights, huh..."

Li Pan took a deep breath,

"And what, you guys don't have anything normal in the warehouse? What the hell kind of lousy ideas are all these? It's all about eye-stabbing, killing, or transforming by pregnancy? Can't the office have something more humane, like, I don't know, an R!P!G!"

However, the landline ignored Li Pan's roar and replied,

"The Guardian/Suit is immune to most Class 5 military weapon damage."

"...Wow, is it that awesome? Can it stop Kinetic Cannons? What about naval guns?"

"The Guardian/Suit does not provide perfect immunity but rather undying protection. As long as it is not dead and has no rule conflicts, it can be reset."

There was a pause on the other side of the landline,

"There has never been a contract between the Guardian/Suit and A Tangled Mess/Death Entanglement. I should probably use the Pen/Strong Exorcism, which is currently the strongest measure against Monsters at branch 0791 and effective against the vast majority of Monsters."

"The strongest, huh... Warehouse 1..."

Li Pan flipped through the archives for Pen/Strong Exorcism,

"This blindness can't be reset, but can a Cyber Eye exploit a loophole? And what is this permanent sorrow about? Is it just that eternal sorrow of why I'm not a second-generation rich kid? "
