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

"The stairwell will appear in the Ultraman Leo world."

When the electronic sound is played, the screen changes.

Dan Moroboshi: "What! It's our world!"

Just then, the screen switched to a street scene.

Fengyuan and the other team members are chasing an alien.

The speed of that universe is so fast that even Feng Yuan would have difficulty catching up.

Finally, they ran into a building and for a moment they didn't know where they had gone, so the MAC team members decided to split up and chase them.

Two people then spotted the alien and immediately gave chase, but somehow they ended up running into the doorway of the stairwell!

"not good!"

When Dan Moroboshi saw this, his eyes widened instantly.

This is a huge problem!

"Boom!!"

And that's not all.

Suddenly, the ground nearby cracked open, and a monster crawled out from underground, beginning to wreak havoc on the city.

"Damn it, but it's just right."

Upon seeing this, Dan Moroboshi immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order.

"Everyone, go deal with the monster immediately. Fengyuan, you go find that alien."

Dan Moroboshi used this opportunity to separate Gen from the others.

"But Captain, isn't it too dangerous to send Feng Yuan to find that alien alone?"

Other teammates immediately raised objections, feeling that this allocation was quite chaotic.

"This is an order!" However, Dan Moroboshi issued the order in a forceful manner.

Upon hearing this, and with the monster nearby, there was no time for further discussion, so the others could only leave it at that for now.

Moroboshi Dan immediately typed a message to Ootengu via the screen.

Moroboshi Dan: "Ougen, I'm counting on you to get that person out of that stairwell."

Feng Yuan: "No problem."

Feng Yuan was paying attention to the screen while chasing the aliens.

Normally, Dan Moroboshi would have ordered the area sealed off, but since his teammates had run in, he had to rescue them.

So Fengyuan immediately rushed to the stairwell!

Chapter 114 Another Infinite Space, IKEA Supermarket

Rhodes: "Hey, what's this Dan Moroboshi thinking? Why would he send that guy to such a terrible place by himself?"

Tony Stark: "You'll find out soon enough."

Rod: "Huh? Then can you tell me what that giant animal is all about!"

Tony Stark: "Those are monsters unique to the world of Leo."

Orochimaru: "A monster? I wonder how it compares to the Nine-Tails."

At this moment, Feng Yuan had already run into the stairwell. He looked at the dark environment in front of him, took a deep breath, and then raised his right hand to reveal the ring with the lion's pupil.

"Leo!!"

Then, Feng Yuan transformed into a life-sized Ultraman Leo.

He immediately flew downstairs to find the two team members.

Rhodes: "Hey! How did this person transform?! Where did they get these clothes?!"

Nick Fury: "It's not the clothes, it's his true self."

Tony Stark: "Let me explain."

At this moment, Leo was falling rapidly down the stairwell.

At his speed, it would be easy for him to fly over several flights of stairs in a second. He flew at full speed and went down countless floors, but he still couldn't find the two team members who had come in earlier.

The constant crying and the sounds of banging on the walls around him made him feel uneasy and confused.

"How deep is this? Who did this?"

As Leo ventured deeper into the stairwell, a fierce battle was raging outside.

The monster caused chaos as soon as it appeared, and the MAC team is struggling to fight back.

However, just when they were almost completely wiped out, Dan Moroboshi finally arrived with Guntras in time.

With the appearance of Guntras, the battle situation immediately turned around!

Rhodes: "There are even giant robots. Tony, I always thought you were the best scientist, but it seems that's not the case."

Tony Stark: "What do you mean by that! Let me tell you, give me time, and I guarantee I can do it! By the way, Dan Moroboshi, what about the data and analysis results for Gunthras? Can you tell me?"

Dan Moroboshi: "Are you sure you want me to send it to you here? It's really complicated."

After Dan Moroboshi finished speaking, he tried to send out something—a bunch of numbers, symbols, and words—which looked very confusing.

Frankie: "This is interesting. If I could figure it out, I could create a giant General Frankie!"

Luffy: "Alright then!"

Warring States Period: "Don't even think about it, we'll make it first!"

Jiraiya: "I don't care about any of that, but don't block the screen!"

While everyone was discussing these matters, the screen suddenly emitted an electronic voice again.

"However, in the universe of containment objects, there are countless spaces like stairwells that are infinitely stacked. One of them is a rather famous supermarket called IKEA."

After the electronic voice sounded, the screen changed to show a supermarket that looked very large.

Strange: "Hey, we haven't finished containing the stairwell yet, why are we continuing?"

Natasha: "Perhaps something has changed."

Bruce Wayne: "There's also new infinite space. What secrets does this supermarket hold?"

"IKEA supermarket, it sounds like a very ordinary supermarket name, but no one knows when this supermarket appeared. It was clearly in an empty space and had never appeared before, but one day it suddenly appeared."

"According to the investigation, this supermarket has unlimited space. If you go in randomly, you will almost never have a chance to come out again."

"At first, I used a drone to explore, but it lost control after a short while. Only then did we send people in."

"We were supposed to come out in two hours, but the D-level personnel has not come out after a day and a night, and contact has been completely cut off. We don't know his situation."

"After that, we sent in countless Class D personnel, and even changed our approach by directly breaking through the wall to get in."

"However, if you enter through a passage other than the entrance, you will only see a normal supermarket and come out shortly afterward. You will not be able to find the missing person at all. That means the anomaly of this supermarket can only be triggered by entering through the entrance."

"After whoever went in, one of the D-level personnel finally escaped. He was covered in wounds and looked like he had been through a major battle."

"Based on his description, we learned that the supermarket's interior was an infinitely extending and intricate maze-like space. Not only that, but there was also a group of monsters inside, resembling mannequins, who had their own consciousness and would wander around. When the ceiling lights were on, they did nothing. But when the lights were off and the supermarket was in darkness, these mannequins would become violent, saying things like 'We're closing up shop' and 'We need to get rid of everyone,' and they killed this D-level personnel's companion."

"This Class D personnel went through a lot of trouble running around to find the exit. According to him, he couldn't find the route he came from, and even if he could, he wouldn't see the exit. In other words, the entrance and exit would disappear randomly and appear in different places, which is why so many people couldn't get out."

Rod: "Hey, is this some kind of horror movie formula? It sounds like that famous novel."

Diana: "Are you talking about the fog? It's somewhat similar, but not quite."

Mordo: "An ordinary supermarket with infinite space and monsters—is this some kind of cursed magic?"

Orochimaru: "Magic? What's that? Your chakra system?"

Mordo: "No, it's a force that changes the world."

Orochimaru: "Change the world? That's interesting."

The screen continued to display content while everyone was discussing it.

The next day, we discovered that someone had run out of there, followed by a monster that looked exactly like the model described by the D-class personnel.

However, what he didn't tell us was that this monster was several meters tall.

The model actually used a knife to seriously injure the person who was trying to escape.

As they ran out of the supermarket, the mobile task force immediately opened fire and eliminated the mannequin before heading to rescue the person.

That person was already dead.

Upon inspection, we discovered that he was carrying a diary recording his experiences at the IKEA supermarket, so we decided to analyze it in hopes of obtaining useful clues.

The diary entries are as follows:

So, I'm writing this as a record, and I can only assume I've suddenly gone mad. I can't possibly be bad at finding my way around, but I've been stuck in IKEA for two days now. I haven't seen a single person the entire time. At first, I thought it was a prank. Turning the place into a maze, making everyone leave, watching me get lost, and then everyone laughing. But when I went back the way I came, I realized it wasn't like that. Everything had changed, and so I finally got lost. The exit was gone, replaced by rows and rows of bookshelves.

Chapter 115 IKEA Diary

So, I'm stuck in IKEA. Sounds like a classic lame joke. The lights went out at 10 p.m. It nearly gave me a heart attack—a huge bang followed by complete darkness. There were plenty of beds, and my phone could be used as a light—but damn, no signal—so I found a bed and slept. I spent almost the entire next day looking for the exit with no luck. But I did find a restaurant with meatballs, so at least I wouldn't starve. The perfect finishing touch to the joke. Anyway, they were still warm and fresh, but I didn't see anyone cooking nearby. Maybe I should get back to my bed before dark; I can't search in the dark.

It's 9:10 a.m., and the lights have just come back on. I've definitely searched the entire area, and obviously the exit isn't here, so I need to find a direction and hope for a good result.

On the third day of my mysterious adventure at IKEA, some of you might be wondering how I keep track of the time. First, I check my phone. Second, the lights here are switched on and off in a predictable pattern, turning off at certain times and on at certain times. So, you can tell the day and night cycle by observing the lights.

I wasn't sure this place was weird before, but now I am. It took about 3 hours to walk in a straight line (IKEA joke here), and then I went up a ladder to a huge pile of shelves.

I climbed up to find my way, but the place seemed to stretch into the distance. It was like a scene from The Lion King, except the trees and grasslands had been replaced by shelves, tables, and trash. I did see some people moving around in the distance, though; I decided to go over.

At first I thought it was an employee – it was wearing a uniform.

But that damn thing was a maybe, possibly seven-foot-tall, long-armed, short-legged monster with no face—the kind of thing they'd want to work at Super IKEA. This thing completely ignored me, and since it had no eyes or ears, I wasn't even sure if it knew I was there. I thought about throwing things to get its attention, but its hands were big enough to crush a watermelon, so I decided against it.

It kept walking until it disappeared from sight, so I decided to continue on the same route.

In short, there's no comfortable bed tonight. It seems I've already entered the area with the ridiculously hard and sharp tables in this shop.

I'll probably have to use a few tablecloths. My phone died today too. It's not really useful, but it feels like I've just lost a vital lifeline.
