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

Horii suddenly appeared behind Shinjo, looking at him calmly.

"Horii! It's so good to see you!"

Shinjo, seeing that a familiar face had finally appeared, instantly relaxed and walked towards Horii with excitement.

"What's going on now? Do you know what happened? Where are the other people?"

Xincheng asked in succession.

"I don't know what the situation is right now, but everyone is in a safe place. I'll take you there now."

Horii spoke with almost no emotion.

However, Shinjo didn't sense anything strange and simply followed Horii.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Just then, Horii's shout came again from around the corner.

Horii emerged from around a corner, his face filled with fear. His obese body was moving with such agitation, it seemed he was in great distress.

I was drenched in sweat.

"Hey! Horii!"

Shinjo couldn't help but exclaim in shock when he saw that Horii had suddenly appeared.

"New City!"

Horii was stunned for a moment when he saw Shinjo, then looked aggrieved.

"Great! I've finally seen a living person! Do you know how many ghosts chased me? It was awful! Waaah!!"

Horii looked aggrieved and was almost in tears.

"Wait a minute! You're also Horii, so who are you?!"

Shinjo called out, looking completely bewildered, then pointed to Horii, whose face was ashen.

"Ah! There's another one of me!"

When Horii saw his other self, he couldn't help but cry out in shock and jumped back a step.

"That guy is fake, I'm the real one, come with me!"

Horii, his face ashen, glared at Shinjo and shouted.

"Idiot, you're the fake one, Shin-chan, look carefully!"

Horii was furious when he heard this and immediately pulled out his pistol and fired.

The bullet passed right through another hole, causing no damage whatsoever.

Seeing this, Xincheng couldn't possibly be stunned.

"So you were a fake! What are you?!"

Shinjo, trembling, raised his gun and pointed it at Horii across the street, shouting.

Then, another Horii's body changed, transforming into a semi-transparent ghost with a hideous face covered in blood.

"Aaaaaah! A ghost!!"

Upon seeing the ghost actually appear in front of him, Shinjo was so frightened that he screamed incessantly and kept firing his gun.

However, no matter how aggressively he fired his gun, he couldn't harm the ghost in the slightest.

"Idiot! Bullets are useless against ghosts, run!"

After cursing at Shinjo, Horii immediately grabbed him and tried to run away.

When he saw what was behind him, he was stunned and had to stop in his tracks.

Then, a number of ghosts appeared from behind, all staring menacingly at Horii and Shinjo.

At this moment, they both felt utterly desperate. Faced with a ghost that they could not fight with physical means, they were powerless to resist and could only huddle together, trembling and screaming like little girls in a horror movie.

"Pure Land of Bliss!"

Just then, a furious roar rang out.

A beam of blue light shot out from the end of the dark corridor.

It passed directly through all the ghosts, enveloping Horii and Shinjo.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The sudden beam of light made Shinjo and Horii unable to open their eyes immediately. They covered their faces with their arms and lowered their heads in discomfort.

They slowly opened their eyes only after they felt the light disappear.

As a result, the ghosts surrounding them all turned into smoke and disappeared.

"what happened?"

This scene left Horii and Shinjo completely bewildered, utterly confused about what had just happened.

"Boom boom boom!"

Then came heavy footsteps.

Startled, Shinjo and Horii immediately raised their guns again and pointed them at the source of the sound.

Then they saw a knight in armor, holding a lance in his right hand and a round shield in his left, with a red cloak behind him, slowly walking towards them. He looked like a knight who had stepped out of the Middle Ages.

"what is this?"

Seeing this thing almost made Horii's head explode. First ghosts, now knights, what on earth are they going through?!

The knight glanced at Horii and Shinjo, then suddenly charged at them, thrusting his spear forward.

Shinjo and Horii thought they were about to be attacked, so they quickly raised their guns, but it was too late.

Strangely, however, Crimson Knightmon's gun did not hit either of them.

Instead, it pierced the wall behind them.

"Ahhhhh!!"

A piercing scream came from the wall, causing the two to turn their heads immediately.

Then they saw a ghost, pierced by a spear, constantly emitting smoke and disappearing.

After dealing with the ghost, Crimson Knight Beast ignored Shinjo and Horii and left.

The two were completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

They could only watch helplessly as Crimson Knightmon disappeared into the dark end of the corridor.

"New Town! Horii!"

Just then, another cry came.

It turned out that it was Ye Rui and Zong Fang who had come this time.

"Commander! Ye Rui!"

Upon seeing the two, Xincheng immediately exclaimed excitedly, while also looking relieved.

"Are you alright? By the way, did you see that knight just now?"

Zongfang quickly replied.

"We've encountered the commander too!"

Xincheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, we were attacked by a group of ghosts, and that knight appeared and saved us!"

Ye Rui answered immediately.

"We have absolutely no idea what's going on. A bunch of ghosts suddenly appeared and took over the entire TPC. Our weapons are no match for them. Many people have already sacrificed their lives. If it weren't for that knight, we would have been dead long ago."

Zongfang's words were filled with resentment. He had ways to fight against monsters and aliens, but he really didn't know what to do when facing oni, which had no physical form and could not be fought with conventional weapons.

"What should we do now? There are still many people who have died. We have to find a way to save them!"

Xincheng couldn't help but say anxiously.

"But we simply can't do it with our own strength."

Ye Rui reminded him.

In this situation, it's certainly wrong to demoralize them, but the fact remains that they have no means to deal with the demons.

"Should we go with that knight?"

At this point, Horii made a suggestion.

"Although the knight didn't explicitly say he was on our side, he was at least fighting those ghosts. We can follow him and find the others."

After hearing Horii's words, everyone else seemed to be deep in thought.

Blindly relying on the power of unknown creatures is undoubtedly not a good thing for humanity, but they seem to have no other choice now.

"This is the only way. Everyone, stay alert and take it one step at a time."

Munakata immediately agreed to Horii's plan and then took the initiative to lead everyone to catch up with Crimson Knight Beast.

At this moment, Daigo had arrived at the place where the malicious electromagnetic waves were strongest, as mentioned by Gallantmon.

This is actually where the victims affected by the Wendigo skull were held!

Daigo remembers there are several thousand people imprisoned here. What if something happens to all of them?

Daigo couldn't even imagine that.

Daigo quickened his pace and entered the inner corridor, only to find that all the doors to the detention cells were open.

All the people imprisoned inside were dead, and their faces were extremely grotesque, as if they had seen something particularly terrifying.

"Am I too late! Damn it!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Daigo couldn't help but feel angry. He then took a deep breath and slowly moved forward.
