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

"Sadako, like Kayako, is a female ghost with exceptionally strong vengeance, but her methods of killing are even more bizarre."

"The Containment Organization first came into contact with Sadako because of a large number of deaths recently due to a strange virus. This virus was unprecedented in human history, and strangely, none of the deceased had ever been in contact with anyone else, making the mode of transmission particularly bizarre. Initially, the Containment Organization thought the virus was the containment object, but after further investigation, they discovered that it wasn't."

Chapter 278 The Midnight Bell

"When the Containment Council received reports of deaths caused by a mysterious virus, they immediately assumed the new containment object was an unknown virus. They promptly investigated the bodies and, sure enough, discovered a very strange virus."

"This virus can block arteries, causing heart attacks, and many victims die this way. However, when we studied this virus, we discovered that all our current knowledge of viruses is inadequate to understand this strange virus, and no drug can eliminate it."

[“As the research deepens, more questions arise. First, where did the virus come from? The deceased came from all walks of life and were even completely unrelated, making it impossible for them to infect each other. So how did they get infected with the virus?”]

"The Containment Council deployed a large number of personnel to investigate places they had come into contact with before their deaths, and even used the Locard material exchange principle for investigation, but they still couldn't find the virus outside of the corpses."

"This puzzled many people; it's impossible for a virus to appear out of thin air. However, the appearance of a videotape surprised everyone, revealing that the virus was actually related to the videotape."

"According to the investigation, all of the deceased had watched a cursed videotape circulating in the urban legends seven days before their deaths. It was said that anyone who watched the videotape would die seven days later."

"As an organization that deals with countless bizarre events, the Containment Council naturally wouldn't overlook any urban legend, so they began conducting related experiments."

["They brought the videotapes to a research facility and arranged for a death row inmate to watch them."]

At this point, the screen switched to displaying high-definition television content.

"In a laboratory, a prisoner was forced to watch videotapes."

[When the videotape began playing, a scene appeared on the television screen: first, a full moon with dark clouds constantly passing by; then the scene switched to a mirror, through which a woman could be seen combing her hair. Strangely, judging from the distance of the reflection in the mirror, there should have been a woman combing her hair, but from the actual footage, there was no one in front of the mirror.]

["Then, in the next two seconds, the mirror mysteriously shifted its position on the wall, suddenly appearing on the right side and then on the left side. The woman seemed to see something and turned her head."]

[However, the scene then shifts to a jumble of unintelligible text of varying sizes, enough to give anyone a headache just looking at it. The scene then shifts again to several people inexplicably curled up and wriggling on the ground, seemingly mimicking the movement of insects—it all looks very strange.]

["The scene then shifts to a beach, where a person in a white dress stands on a rock, with a white headscarf covering their head, and their right hand is pointing to the left for some reason."]

"The scene then shifts again, showing a bird blinking, and at close range, where the details of the bird's eye are clearly visible."

["After watching the bird blink countless times, the scene changed again, turning into an ancient well. The image of the well remained for a while before turning completely white. It seemed the video would end there, but after a brief period of white, it immediately changed again. It was still the ancient well, but this time a woman with black hair covering her face and wearing a white dress crawled out of it."]

["Then another flurry of snowflakes fell. When the snow stopped, the woman had climbed out of the well and was slowly walking towards the camera."]

"Splash splash splash!"

[“Every time the woman walks over, the screen will freeze with static, and after the static clears, the woman will get closer and closer to the camera.”]

["The final shot freezes on the woman very close to the camera, and then the videotape ends."]

Strange: "What's the point of this videotape? What does it have to do with this unknown virus, or Sadako?"

Robin: "Isn't this about ghosts? Why are we using words like virus and videotape, which are supposed to be high-tech?"

Nick Fury: "We'll see, it's definitely not simple."

Nobita: "I really don't dare to watch anymore, I'm so scared."

Doraemon: "Nobita, pull yourself together!"

The screen continues to display content.

"Hey, what do you guys mean by this? As long as I watch this videotape, I only have to stay here for seven days, and I can be released without charge. This is such a good deal!"

"The person conducting this experiment was a death row inmate. The detention center agreed to release him and exempt him from all legal punishment after he assisted in the experiment."

["At first, the death row inmate thought it was some kind of complicated experiment, like in a science fiction movie, but it turned out to be so simple that he couldn't help but whistle with a sense of satisfaction."]

"The researchers at the Containment Council didn't pay attention to this; they simply kept the death row inmates in the lab as instructed, waiting seven days to see what would happen."

"During those seven days, researchers and security personnel provided comprehensive security for the death row inmate, conducting thorough physical and psychological examinations, as well as checking every item he touched, to ensure there were no abnormalities. However, despite all these measures, strange anomalies still occurred."

["In the footage, the death row inmate lay on the ground in excruciating pain, his entire body convulsing. Many medical personnel gathered around him, attempting to resuscitate him, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not prevent his death."]

"The results showed that the death row inmate was infected with the exact same virus as the other victims, which caused his arteries to become blocked, leading to a heart attack and death."

"But strangely, the death row inmate had been examined just over ten minutes before he fell ill, and he was perfectly healthy, showing no signs of the virus, not even a common cold or fever. So why did he suddenly contract this bizarre virus and die just ten minutes later?"

"This was undoubtedly a huge mystery, hanging over all the researchers, who then focused their attention on the rumored, cursed videotape."

"So the researchers continued to have more death row inmates watch the videotape, and to differentiate them, they specifically divided them into two groups for the viewing process."

"One group consisted of five death row inmates watching together, while the other group had five death row inmates taking turns watching. This was done because urban legends say that passing the videotape to the next person can transfer the death curse."

Chapter 279 The Videotape Spreading the Virus

"The results of the experiment were quite shocking. The first group of people who watched the death videotape together almost simultaneously contracted the strange virus seven days later, leading to heart attacks and death."

"In the second group, only the last person who watched the videotape died. The reason the first few people didn't die was probably because the curse could be transferred as long as the videotape was shown to someone else."

"This confirms that the bizarre virus was spread by this videotape. Anyone who watches the videotape will die from the bizarre virus seven days later. Researchers have studied the videotape and found it to be completely indistinguishable from ordinary videotapes, and it contains no virus whatsoever. This means that the virus spread from the video content."

When the screen reached this point, everyone was almost dumbfounded, staring at the screen in disbelief.

Tony Stark: "What the fuck! Are you crazy!"

Tony Stark: "How is this possible! How could a video possibly spread a virus?! This is completely illogical!"

Strange: "This is absolutely outrageous. How could a virus and electronic devices be related? You can get a virus just by watching a videotape. That's impossible! Unless the videotape itself carries a virus."

Natasha: "As this screen just showed, the videotape itself didn't have a virus; it was the video that infected people. How can a virus spread through video? It's a bit like my superpower."

Diana: "What? You can do something like that!"

Natasha: "Yes, after my brain potential was developed, I can sense who is watching me through monitoring devices. The principle is to use an electromagnetic wave penetration device to sense the other person's brainwaves."

Bruce Wayne: "I feel like the effect of this videotape is not the same as yours. Yours is radio wave perception, but this is transmitting viruses through radio waves. Can you do that?"

Natasha: "I can't do that."

Wang: "By Vishanti! This must be a curse spell, using the videotape as a medium to deliver the curse!"

Strange: "Does such magic really exist?"

Ancient One: "It does exist, but it's a kind of dark magic that we basically don't use."

Dan Moroboshi: "This is really bizarre! Could it be the woman in the video spreading the virus? She looks just like the photo that was shown on the screen earlier; she must be the mastermind!"

Daigo: "She's a ghost too, but she uses such technological methods to kill people. It's outrageous!"

Feng Yuan: "Even ghosts can be this modern?"

Chopper: "As a doctor, I simply cannot accept this. This completely overturns the common sense of medicine!"

Marco: "I understand how you feel. I thought my medical knowledge was extensive, but compared to you, it's child's play!"

Nobita: "Oh right! Didn't we just see the contents of that videotape? Does that mean we'll also get infected with the virus and die in seven days?!"

Usopp: "Eh?! I don't want to!"

Fat Tiger: "Don't scare me, I don't want to die such a pathetic death!"

Suneo: "Mom!!"

Sisyphus: "Calm down, all of you! Don't scare yourselves!"

Tony Stark: "That's right, this screen will protect us from negative influences, so don't overthink it, everything's fine!"

Nobita: "That's good..."

Odin: "It seems this female ghost is quite resourceful, managing to transmit the virus through video waves. She's more interesting than any evil spirit I've ever seen."

Krillin: "But why is it that the curse can be transferred as long as the videotape is shown to the next person?"

Le Ping: "Perhaps it's to expand my influence and let more people know about me."

Wang: "That's right! This female ghost wants to use this method to make more people fear her, so that she might be able to increase her power!"

Rogers: "Doesn't that mean that this life-saving method is actually indirectly helping this female ghost?"

Wang: "Very likely."

Regulus: "Speaking of which, is this a videotape? And what's that machine that plays the video? It looks really interesting."

Sisyphus: "Ahem, Regulus, that's not the point."

Sengoku: "It seems similar to our Den Den Mushi projection technology."

Naruto: "We don't have anything like that here."

Bruce Wayne: "Let's put that aside for now!"

While everyone was discussing it, the content on the screen continued to appear.

"Furthermore, we discovered something truly shocking: even if watching the video would result in death, there would be differences between men and women."

As the screen reached this point, the image switched to a female death row inmate convulsing in pain. It seemed she was also a test subject, cursed after watching the videotape, and would die after seven days.

But strangely, her belly was constantly expanding.

"Waaaaah!!"

The woman lay on the ground in agony, her legs involuntarily spread apart. She resembled a pregnant woman giving birth, one hand pressed against her stomach, the other against her chest, seemingly enduring immense pain from both.

In the end, the woman died, whether from a heart attack or some other kind of suffering, it's unknown. But this was not the end.

【"Pfft!"】

["Suddenly, the woman's uterus and abdomen exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh scattered all around. Then, a little girl dressed in white with exceptionally long black hair covering her entire head crawled out from the woman's shattered abdomen."]

["The girl climbed towards the television, then miraculously disappeared inside it."]

"This phenomenon shocked us greatly, so we immediately conducted numerous experiments and studies. We eventually discovered that this virus reacts with the egg during a woman's ovulation period, causing her to become pregnant before death and quickly skip the ten-month pregnancy period. At the time of death, she gives birth to a non-human being, a female ghost, or more accurately, the ghost of a young girl."

"This made the containment council realize that the videotapes and the mastermind behind the bizarre virus were a terrifying evil spirit! She spread the virus through the videos and even used women to increase her own kind. This made the containment council realize the seriousness of the situation. Among the dead, there were many women, which means countless little female ghosts have been born, not to mention how many people died when the urban legends appeared."

"Only at this moment did the containment organization realize just how terrifying an evil spirit they were containing."

Chapter 280 Attempt to Contain

Many people are shocked to see this.

Nami: "My God, this is disgusting."

Robin: "This can completely make women give up the idea of ​​getting pregnant."

Sanji: "Ah! That won't do!"
