American Comics Universe: I, the Containment Object Revealed at the Start

"This is C-A23. We have discovered the bodies of the Task Force and the Logistics Team!"

Upon seeing the body inside, C-A23 immediately reported it and then went inside to check the situation.

He examined each body and found that they all looked extremely terrified.

His eyes were so wide open that it looked like his eyeballs might pop out at any moment.

This puzzled C-A23 greatly; they couldn't fathom what they had encountered that had frightened them so much.

"Oh right, I remember there are security cameras here! We can watch the footage!"

C-A23 immediately came up with a solution and went to the computer to retrieve the surveillance footage to find out what had happened.

He switched the surveillance footage to the point when the team arrived and began their mission, and the footage showed that...

At that time, the logistics team and researchers were still alive and looking at computers.

The task force members were equipped with camera equipment, which allowed them to film the situation inside the house in real time.

After a while, the researchers stood up in shock and stared at the computer screen.

"Oh no! They're in danger! According to the computer's detection, the ghosts inside have a reality distortion ability that exceeds level 2. Their protective devices are ineffective. Call them back immediately!"

The researchers called out anxiously.

So he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to call the people inside the villa out.

But at that moment, the computer screen suddenly turned into a static display, and the walkie-talkie emitted a bunch of inexplicable noises.

No matter how much the researchers shouted, they couldn't get the orders out.

"The carriages won't open!"

A logistics worker wanted to leave, but found that the truck bed couldn't be opened!

Just as everyone was panicking, a lot of black hair suddenly appeared on the computer screen, and then a head slowly emerged.

Seeing such a bizarre scene, C-A23 had no choice but to open his eyes wide and watch on.

However, at that moment, the little boy's face appeared out of nowhere and was stuck to the camera.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

He let out a strange scream, and beneath his wide-open mouth was complete darkness, with no human organs visible.

"Ahhh!"

C-A23 was quite startled by this sudden scene and couldn't help but back away, finally landing hard on his bottom.

He stood up in pain, staring at the computer screen in disbelief, unable to believe what he had just seen.

What exactly did he just see?

He glanced at the screen, but could no longer see the little boy's face.

Conversely, the researchers and support staff had died violent deaths, each in the same manner as the corpses now in existence.

The female ghost was still standing in the same spot.

"This is Delta Squad 3! There are suspicions of casualties. Shall we continue the mission?"

At that moment, the voices of the special forces came through the walkie-talkie.

Upon hearing this voice, the female ghost calmly looked at the walkie-talkie, picked it up, and then surprisingly uttered the researcher's voice.

"This is the support team outside. Please continue your mission."

The voices were exactly the same, with no difference whatsoever; the only problem was that they were particularly cold and harsh.

After the female ghost finished answering, she put down the walkie-talkie.

Then he slowly raised his head and actually looked at the camera.

"Draw it out."

The next second, the computer screen suddenly went completely white.

This sudden change startled C-A23, causing it to involuntarily retreat.

But then, it seemed like he bumped into something.

From a tactile perspective, it seems to resemble a human.

He immediately turned around and raised his pistol, only to see that the researcher who had been dead had actually stood up!

Not only him, but also the members of the logistics team stood up.

However, they were still in the form of corpses, and their every move was very strange, making them look like marionettes!

Upon closer inspection, in the corner, the little boy was huddled up, staring intently at C-A23.

And he pronounced two words.

"Mother?"

Chapter 269 Kayako and Toshio's Past

"what?"

She heard the little boy call her "Mom".

This left C-A23 puzzled.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt something in his throat, causing his neck to swell up instantly, like an inflated balloon!

"Pfft!"

Then a hand emerged from his throat, and a lot of blood flowed continuously from the gap between his mouth and arm.

Then, an even more bizarre and eye-catching scene unfolded.

That was the female ghost; she actually crawled out of C-A23's body.

The female ghost, covered in blood, looked even more terrifying.

C-A23 instantly lost its life and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Rhodes: "Holy crap! This is disgusting!"

Brooke: "Oh my god, it crawled out of my mouth! I don't want to die like that, it'll make a mess of my body! Ah, there's nothing inside me."

Frankie: "Brook! Is this the time for lame jokes?!"

Robin: "Oh dear, I wonder what it would feel like to die like this. Would it just be a feeling of wanting to vomit? It seems like I could do that too."

Nami: "That's enough, Robin, stop talking about this."

Ai: "My God! I'd rather be beaten to death than die like this, it's disgusting!"

Feng Yuan: "This is really disgusting, and why would it crawl out of a person's body? What's going on with this ghost!"

Daigo: "No horror movie can compare to this thing."

Tony Stark: "Ahem, I'm more concerned about how this thing crawled out of the screen, where it got into the computer from, and how it waited for the camera while reviewing the replay—did it foresee someone watching it in the future?! This thing is completely illogical no matter where it is!"

Natasha: "Ghosts are inherently illogical creatures; judging them by common sense is simply impossible."

Ancient One: "She can transport people to points in the past, and perhaps she has a way to detect what will happen in the future. She's an incredible ghost."

Sun Wukong: "Really? This is completely different from the ghosts around here. They don't have so many abilities; their abilities after death are determined by their strength in life."

Manigoldo: "I rarely see ghosts like this either."

Thanatos: "They seem much more interesting than the dead in my underworld."

While everyone was discussing it, the screen continued to display explanations.

"After countless lives were lost, the containment organization finally figured out what this female ghost was all about. According to the investigation, she had existed for decades. When she was alive decades ago, her name was Kayako. She lacked parental companionship from a young age and therefore suffered from a deep thirst for love."

"She was particularly withdrawn during her childhood, and perhaps this experience gradually twisted her mind and sowed the seeds of future trouble."

[“According to our investigation, Kayako lived peacefully with her husband for a period after marriage and even gave birth to a son, Toshio Saeki. Kayako's husband, Takeo Saeki, wanted to have a second child, but he was unable to get her to conceive. Later, he went to the hospital for a checkup and discovered that he had oligospermia.”]

"Therefore, Takeo Saeki suspected that Toshio Saeki wasn't his biological son. Later, during his investigation, he discovered Kayako's diary, revealing that she had once harbored a crush on her classmate, Shunsuke Kobayashi, and had even kept their love letters. Enraged by this discovery, Takeo, even though Kobayashi was already married, believed Kayako had cheated on him and betrayed him. He then brutally beat Kayako to death."

"This caused Kayako's accumulated psychological distortions from childhood to fully erupt after her death, transforming her into a vengeful female ghost."

"After Kayako's death, she sought revenge on her husband, causing him a painful death, but this was not the end. Kayako's resentment became uncontrollable."

"She first killed her son, Toshio, and made him her first servant. Then she slaughtered anyone who dared to enter her house, whether they moved in or stumbled in by chance. Once they stepped into the house, even if they managed to escape, no matter how far they ran, Kayako would find and eliminate them. In the end, their souls were bound to the villa, becoming Kayako's slaves."

"This villa has become a hell filled with resentment. Kayako ruthlessly reaps the rewards of any intruder. She has been entrenched here for decades, absorbing an unknown and terrifying amount of resentment, and enslaving countless souls."

"We risked our lives to learn that Kayako possesses many powerful superpowers: teleportation, hair control, supernatural strength, spacetime distortion, mind control, mental pollution, reality distortion, and more. Her abilities are extremely terrifying, and we must find a way to contain her."

"However, despite their long efforts, the containment team was still unable to contain Kayako. Furthermore, they discovered that Kayako could infiltrate other locations through devices and eliminate anyone who discovered her presence. Any high-tech product could be controlled by her, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of containment."

"Therefore, the containment organization changed its strategy, buying up the area surrounding the villa and assigning personnel to strictly control it, prohibiting anyone from approaching, in order to stop Kayako's power from expanding further and to prevent the number of victims from increasing."

"After adopting this containment method, Kayako's killing rate was indeed reduced to 0. However, everyone is worried that one day Kayako might run away and hunt for prey."

The screen finally ended there.

It was like listening to a ghost story. After hearing it, many people breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from such terrifying tales.

Bruce Wayne: "They can even hack into technological devices, is this really a ghost?"

Daigo: "Could it be that this Kayako is also a high-density plasma energy body? That's why it can affect electronic devices!"

Tony Stark: "Very likely! That's interesting. It makes me want to find a ghost to study!"

Rogers: "Are you crazy? You dare to research such a terrifying thing!"

Tony Stark: "Rogers, we need to face this. If there's a demon in the containment, we need to figure out how to deal with it!"

Bruce Wayne: "I agree with that. It's not good to do nothing but pray that it doesn't happen."

Diana: "With your yellow light ring, you can easily fight off ghosts, and the scientific knowledge and information inside might be helpful to you."

Chapter 270 Kayako and Toshio appear in TPC

Bruce Wayne: "Really? Then I'll have to look into it carefully!"

Strange: "Surely we have some magic that can deal with ghosts?"
