EP.425 Xenobia Unsealed
* * *
A bright afternoon.
In the dimly lit underground corridor of the correctional facility, a female guard was walking.
Though not revealing, the stylish warden uniform clung to her glamorous figure, making her look quite alluring.
Her eyes drooped, and she seemed a bit listless, but she had a decadent and pretty face.
It was Jack, who was working as a Level 1 guard alongside Little.
She tied her long hair up into a bun and walked into the detention center.
Tap, tap.
The sound of the guard’s footsteps echoed, and a faint noise could be heard from beyond the detention center doors lining both sides of the corridor.
This was a place where dangerous villains, deprived of their human rights after the Villain Special Act was enacted, were imprisoned.
The villains in this detention center had a 0% chance of returning to society.
It was a place that would make even a new guard want to gag just by entering.
“Haa… What should I eat for lunch today?”
For Jack, this job was as mundane as checking inventory at a convenience store, something she had done repeatedly.
She felt no tension.
All she had to do was record the various vital signs of the villains measured by the AI in the correctional facility and write down the guard’s name.
The guards above had things to do, but honestly, there was nothing to do on the 4th floor.
The ones here were completely isolated from society. Banished.
They would never see sunlight again, only the cold artificial light emitted by the correctional facility.
But no one pitied them for that fact.
“Xenobia. Safe today…”
[Xenobia]
[All Green]
[20xx.02.xx Safety Check – Jack]
Looking at Xenobia’s figure beyond the 1-meter-thick security barrier and observation window, Jack was lost in thought.
When she first heard that Xenobia had been captured and was being brought in, the guards were in an uproar.
The villain of villains. Xenobia, after all.
The King of Villains!
The very person who completely annihilated the Villain Human Rights Committee when it began to sprout in Korea.
Xenobia, who massacred tens of thousands of people in Seoul, continued to operate freely, mocking public authority,
and had long been talked about as Isabella’s greatest nemesis.
Many of the guards had lost family members to Xenobia, so everyone was eager to see the look on her face as she was brought in….
Xenobia was carried in on a stretcher.
Everyone was speechless, as Jack remembered. For a moment, Jack thought she was in an emergency medical center.
Seriously injured, Xenobia was barely clinging to life at the time,
and for the past year, she hadn’t been able to open her eyes without the help of life support equipment.
‘Isn’t she too comfortable on her own?’
Jack sighed.
‘…At this rate, she’s practically a vegetable.’
Petitions demanding Xenobia’s public execution still appeared on the internet.
Her peacefully sleeping face made it seem like she had cowardly run away.
Jack clicked her tongue, thinking she didn’t like it.
At that moment.
“…”
A miraculous coincidence.
Xenobia opened her eyes. She opened her eyes for about 5 to 8 minutes out of 24 hours, and it happened to be now.
‘Ugh…’
Good thing I came on an empty stomach. I would have definitely gotten indigestion if I had eaten.
She was able to maintain her composure like a professional guard, but honestly, she was scared.
Even murderers who had killed a few people were scary, so how much more terrifying would the worst villain on earth, who had killed tens of thousands, be?
Still, there was no chance of making eye contact through the observation window.
Like a magic mirror, it was designed so that only those on this side could see, and those on the other side couldn’t….
“…Huh?”
She felt like she made eye contact.
Xenobia was restrained by a life support device larger than her own body, and only her black eyes were rolling.
Including the medical device and restraints, the total weight was 880kg.
Her body was almost buried in a massive mechanical device, like something out of a sci-fi movie.
She shouldn’t even be able to twitch.
What was it? This unease in her heart.
‘Is the observation window broken?’
Even such minor things had to be recorded as special notes.
Jack immediately recorded the fact that she had made eye contact with Xenobia and looked up again.
Black eyeballs were staring straight at her.
“What are you looking at like you’ve done something great?”
Jack soon became angry.
Even if she was scared, a guard wouldn’t be swayed by fear.
If she was such a weak woman, she wouldn’t have taken this job in the first place. She was one of the many guards who wished and prayed that Xenobia would come to her senses.
She wanted to mess her up with her own hands.
‘Recent muscle activation 316%… She’s strangely healthy. For a vegetable.’
She hadn’t been physically active for a year. Activating her muscles with only a slight electrical signal from her brain,
except for being slightly weakened due to malnutrition, her muscle mass had hardly decreased. Experts said she would maintain a body like a young woman in her early 20s for over 70 years.
‘But she can’t get out anyway, for the rest of her life.’
Frustrated?
Is she so frustrated by that fact that she can’t stand it?
Jack even felt a slight sense of elation at the fact that a big-name villain like Xenobia was looking at her powerlessly, unable to do anything but roll her eyes.
…That was until she realized that her gaze was directed elsewhere. Jack felt a chill.
A monster with one eyeball was reflected in the observation window.
“Ugh!!”
Startled, she turned around and saw Half-and-Half standing behind her. [Half-and-Half refers to a type of monster in this context.]
Only one ear, only one eyeball. Only one leg, only one arm.
A deformed monster. A shell of sin.
“Ah…! Keuk!”
She barely fended off the monster, which had approached silently and was trying to bite her shoulder.
“Where did something like this come from!”
Before she could calm her startled heart after throwing it away,
red mood lights flickered, and Half-and-Halfs crawled out from beyond the door.
One second of eye contact.
Leap!
As the Half-and-Halfs suddenly stretched their knees and legs and jumped,
Jack immediately opened the door and entered Xenobia’s room without even breathing.
“Wh-what… Emergency, emergency contact…”
She pressed the emergency call button on the wall, but it didn’t work.
‘Did someone tamper with the security system?’
Jack tried to contact her colleagues using her smartphone, but it was no use.
Click, the lights went out.
“…”
It’s okay. You can’t open the security barrier without an ID card…!!
Jack trembled and hid in the corner.
Whirr, the red mood lights turned on.
What Jack saw was the observation window, more than 2 meters wide, filled with Half-and-Halfs.
“Aaaagh!!”
Clatter, clatter.
Like a swarm of baby spiders, they pressed their faces against the glass and stared at Jack.
“N-no way…!!”
A physiological revulsion welled up from the depths of her heart.
She was momentarily overwhelmed by the unpleasant sensation of bugs crawling all over her body.
As the security system malfunctioned, the barrier unlocked on its own.
Chee-eek.
“N-no, no, no…!”
The Half-and-Halfs entered the room.
“…”
Jack fled from the approaching Half-and-Halfs, eventually being pushed back to behind Xenobia’s life support device.
There, she briefly considered the possibility of surviving if she released Xenobia.
But.
‘Release her with my own hands? That’s…’
That was impossible.
Look at what this woman has done.
Even if it wasn’t a Half-and-Half but a Half-and-Half’s grandfather, she couldn’t release her….
Cornered, Jack gritted her teeth and pushed back the Half-and-Halfs, searching for a way to escape.
Xenobia watched the scene intently.
“You think I’d release someone like you? Play with the monsters here…!”
Aside from being unpleasant, they weren’t that strong individually.
Jack fought off the Half-and-Halfs and escaped the isolation room.
To make matters worse, villains were being released one by one.
“Oh. A cute guard.”
“What? Is it dessert?”
“…”
Jack turned pale.
S-class villains were freeing themselves.
“What are these annoying things?”
Pajajak!
A large man in handcuffs crushed the Half-and-Halfs into mush just by lightly stomping his foot.
“We’ll save you. Huh? We’re not bad people.”
“G-get away!!”
The villains pushed Jack, who was trying to get out.
Then they chuckled.
“Get away? You need to watch your mouth.”
“Throw you into a monster den?”
“D-do you know what happens if you do this to a guard!?”
“What happens?”
“…”
A male villain, whose fist was about the size of Jack’s head, muttered as he was surrounded by villains.
“Take off all your clothes and kneel. Then I’ll spare your life.”
“…Fuck off. Or is your dick so small that you have nothing to show off?”
Whoosh!!
The man grabbed Jack’s uniform and threw her away as if handling a child.
Jack, who had crashed through the observation window and was rolling on the floor, dripping blood and half-unconscious, mumbled weakly.
“…Li…ttle…”
“You bitch.”
“She had a pretty face and looked useful, why did you kill her right away, bro?”
“Do whatever you want. I’m going out. White Devil, I’m going to kill that little bitch…”
Thud.
The villains who had succeeded in escaping were momentarily taken aback.
The person who had been speaking just now suddenly became a 「Half-and-Half」.
“Is it…infectious?”
“When did you see that guy get bitten?”
Everyone noticed something strange and tried to get away.
At that moment, more Half-and-Halfs were swarming in from outside.
“Get out of the way…!”
The prisoners who were pushing them away also turned into 「Half-and-Halfs」 one by one.
“Shit. What is this.”
“What is this!? What’s going on! Bu, buuguuuuk…!”
“Kkyaaaaaak!”
Jack, battered and bruised, flinched as she watched the prisoners transform.
“Ah… Ah…”
The powerful villains who could kill hundreds of people as easily as breaking a child’s arm.
All became half-monsters and hopped around silently.
Jack trembled in fear.
‘Am I, am I going to become like that too…?’
Thump. Thump!
“Ack!? What now!”
The ground shook a couple of times, and then the heavy life support device exploded.
Most of the Half-and-Halfs caught in the flying debris had their heads or torsos blown away and died.
Only Jack, who barely reacted, lowered her head and slowly looked up.
“…Hoo….”
“Xeno, bia….”
As the restraints were also paralyzed by the aftermath of the explosion,
Xenobia succeeded in escaping on her own.
‘Did she save me…?’
She looked down at the guard as she released her wrists and ankles.
Jack forgot that the other person was a villain and stared blankly.
A beautiful body.
A body that was thoroughly trained, strong, yet retained the softness of a woman.
Xenobia, who had explosively boosted her recovery through magic, was a beautiful woman with medium-short hair and cold black eyes.
It was only natural, as she was the sister of Isabella, the chief of headquarters with that insane beauty.
Xenobia muttered as she immediately repaired the scars on her body.
“I wanted to rest for another half a year…”
“Ah, be careful…!”
A giant Half-and-Half that had survived lunged at Xenobia.
“If you touch her…!!”
Xenobia, standing upright naked, kicked the Half-and-Half like a firecracker with a roundhouse kick that seemed capable of splitting thick steel.
Bang!
Only after Xenobia bent her knee in preparation to perform an upward kick did she feel the shockwave and sharp air pressure.
Shooooo…!!
“Ugh…!”
A tremendous kick.
Jack was reminded of White Devil as she looked at her…….
Isabella’s kick, even more so…….
How could she have trained a pure body to be so strong?
I don’t want to say this, but she was captivated by Xenobia’s beautiful body, forgetting her role as a guard.
White skin contrasting with black hair.
The sartorius muscle [muscle in the thigh], prominent as the thigh muscles powerfully activated, was blatantly clear and sexy.
Even as a woman, she admired the ultimate skill and the ultimate body.
Grip…….
“Which way is out?”
“…You can’t go out….”
“I’ll borrow some clothes.”
“Ugh!”
As if demanding a price for saving her,
Xenobia began to undress Jack with an indifferent look.
She had no choice but to be stripped due to the overwhelming force that made any physical struggle meaningless.
Fortunately, her busty figure and Xenobia’s clothing size were a perfect match….
“…I’ll just take the top.”
She took off all her clothes and threw the bottoms back as if telling her to put them on.
Jack, covering her vagina and breasts with her arms, trembled in humiliation, her shoulders shaking.
“It’s not your fault, so don’t worry…….”
Swish,
Xenobia, draped her coat over her shoulders, strode away naked.
Pools of blood squelched beneath her feet, but she didn’t care.
Her footsteps left a trail of blood.
“Wait!”
Jack, unable to stand by and watch, followed Xenobia.
What greeted the two people who came outside was a swarm of Half-and-Halfs.
“Hic!”
“Step back.”
Xenobia coldly slaughtered the Half-and-Halfs one by one, making her way down the hallway.
The sound of skulls cracking, clear shockwaves, and a brutal sound that could only be heard in a metal manufacturing factory echoed, and flashes of magical light burst forth.
Xenobia’s strikes completely disintegrated the Half-and-Halfs…….
Jack watched in disbelief.
‘Why isn’t Xenobia turning into a Half-and-Half……?’
“D-don’t act on your own and listen to the guard’s, instructions!!”
Jack’s voice lacked authority and power, shrinking more and more.
“Hmm, my body is still stiff…….”
“She’s not even listening, is she?”
Jack was inwardly startled when Xenobia turned around.
She had just crushed the Half-and-Halfs like tofu, so she couldn’t help but be scared.
“It’s an emergency, so it seems better to argue about that later.”
‘Why is she more calm than me when she was just locked up until recently…….’
Jack gritted her teeth.
“Y-yes……. It’s an emergency, but as much as possible…… don’t kill them.”
“It’s cleaner to get rid of them because they’re in the way.”
“Even if they’re monsters now, they were originally people…….”
Xenobia didn’t answer.
Instead, she punched and killed any Half-and-Half that approached.
Her cold eyes were saying. I don’t see the difference.
She genuinely couldn’t distinguish between people, objects, and Half-and-Halfs.
Just getting rid of them because they were in the way.
Bang!
Each time Xenobia’s white legs stretched out powerfully, a path was cleared.
“Let’s go.”
“…….”
