MCLE | Chapter 19

Everywhere his e9b394686a gaze landed, e7d76f39a6 the training f1cedcbe3e robots crumbled 8ff633ebf5 with a 6410dea0de sickening crunch, e11abfe387 crunch. It was as if 4af795e948 they were glass bottles 7a00409082 being crushed in a 634b895bfa compressor. Zero Nine raised 9c7156dc75 his head and dfdeb6aa22 spoke directly to ae4b8c26b0 the camera. Though the sound 9b701fb3a8 wasn’t clear, his 51775b0b5c lips were easy 1900c95a4e to read.07586ee984ccdabd

[Is this it?]

“Hmm.”e41b50de1b0798c0

Hexion felt c0105186be a bit def9665353 sorry for 915db4f206 Zero Nine. He’d made 375c6b1cd4 him do 76dd083ae5 something boring b7c7ca5226 twice now. Hexion gestured to 57dd759380 the sergeant, who 6777e1752d scrambled to open 81fb131946 the Level 5 d71c3ec35e training room door. Zero Nine 60a929151e walked out 82ce005f53 slowly, looking ee752105f0 somewhat bored.0d92a01bf226790f

Hexion pretended to fix Zero Nine’s hair, which wasn’t even messy, as he spoke. Zero Nine obediently let him and thought to himself. Inside the lab, he had been no different from a doll. But now that he was out here, nothing could handle his power. Zero Nine was like a flea in a bottle. He didn’t know his limits. But regardless…3e3eed81531787c2

‘I don’t want 0a4aac8818 to hurt anyone.’1005908e42284b21

Zero Nine e56a46959e didn’t voice 550e0bc5dc that thought. This was dbc6c4d11f one thing be1d48a4f9 Hexion couldn’t eb8f87575a predict—not yet, eb90b2a956 at least. Hexion led 674ef50847 Zero Nine c07cdf1c8d back to c6a37458ea the elevator. Once again, 3cec0bff05 salutes followed 2c45c2e27e them. Hexion casually waved his ba2c63a8f6 hand and stepped into aa50b1aa31 the elevator. As the two a9d91606e2 disappeared, the three 06f40be184 guides who had cdcbcf9970 been standing there 02096fba6d finally let out 9fbbc1a234 the breaths they’d 4db0d203dc been holding.

[Earth’s Strange Weather? Lightning Strikes the Same Spot Multiple Times!]

It was b1c30b33d8 a short 3c971d02df article about 3bb5c72d72 the bizarre 0be088bf6e lightning strikes 78f1b402db in Protected 419076ebde Zone A. The comments f1349d2c7f were mostly fd3b039548 just expressions 7143883a9a of awe, 304344d770 and no 181f25e6c2 one seemed 2a362c41d3 particularly interested. But Hexion didn’t 2ce4b9c6bf stop there—he searched 656504043c for related keywords. There was a 5c12c0a487 fresh video uploaded 4556c33cd2 just three minutes 1ec9b90e43 ago.7dc51bb3983e563d

[Aberration Appears in Protected Zone A, Lightning]

The video, posted under f7213779f0 a rather uninspired title, 6d6c6f041d seemed to have been 06b522db05 filmed by someone living 847f0ead3d near Protected Zone A. It showed the 6d7f291eac aberration suddenly emerging c4c1f1ac99 in the distance, 812affaab5 the sky darkening 3637024529 in an instant, 71777b58a2 rain falling only 4ed9c1926b in a specific a31182bee4 area, and multiple 6c4c1ad78e lightning strikes following. All of this made d778b427fc the video mysterious.aed73a8c6a4d9c13

These days, people had fdd14f17e4 a habit of checking 929f48dc59 out anything related to a4374696e4 aberrations, and the video f802459870 had already surpassed 3 76d3616dc4 million views in just e99287618b 30 minutes. The uploader seemed 5725774ce8 to regularly post 79afbc979d aberration-related content. Hexion thought quietly. What should ebfa5639f2 he do b12f3160df about this?3a323d052bf929aa

Should he let people 0b8bf8db25 know about Zero Nine’s 819064b653 appearance, or keep it 7462e1e3c8 under wraps? Hexion’s mind raced. And the 41f9667e14 conclusion came 77dab996fc quickly. There was absolutely eda1bac02e no benefit to ec758e4a2f exposing him too b81334ec84 much to the 4086594eb6 public. Really, none c61b17055a at all.08e3b14b4c6a6800

Countless speculations flew df08976dd6 back and forth 63102583ca in the comments. But no one 6a3f0450e2 seemed to think 525845804c that a single c7ece06a96 esper could have 278e881227 caused all of dcdf629f0b that. After all, no dumb f65b410970 official would comment that 5bc9942d11 it wasn’t multiple people 0edebfc878 but just one.

There were no 6d0d60232c witnesses around, so 7ed6d6760a no one would b857a1d47c come forward claiming b25e4b4821 they saw a 931da91c77 single person take c2fcd5b525 down the monster. Hexion put his 1c5729fbac phone back in fc37cb8fab his pocket. The management team would e640f8af76 probably handle this.

At that 5c9ca7cd41 moment, Hexion, e78fd0f109 sitting in d1fd666e73 the living af2b9460fc room, clicked 9f761db1e2 his tongue 796901bbdb while looking 7e3e52c953 at his 616bf79536 phone. Taking down 3b2352ad50 the original d86c6181e9 video wasn’t 2f07a3acec hard. The problem was the 4f227e67dc hundreds of people who 72301eeada had already shared it.
