A journey into an infinite dimension

There's no particular reason.

Because the shelters basically risk everything they have to restrain all kinds of unimaginable dangers in order to prevent human society from suffering devastating disasters, countries that know that they cannot do this can only place their hopes on the shelters.

A shelter base located in the Siberian snowfield is a well-known base that ranks among all the bases.

Because there are many extremely dangerous objects contained here, and some of them often escape from containment and run into the outside world.

Whenever this happens, the success of the re-entry is bound to be based on the loss of a large number of lives and property.

But even so, the containment personnel still have to do it.

Otherwise, human society will be in danger.

However, although the escape of a single or a small number of objects is not uncommon, since the establishment of the containment agency, there has never been an incident in which all the objects in a base escaped at the same time.

This would have been impossible, because the containment facilities for each object are separated by a huge distance. At the same time, some dangerous objects have special protections and backup measures in their containment facilities, strictly ensuring that even if a single object escapes and goes berserk, it will not affect the guarding and containment of other objects.

However, at this moment, in this shelter base located underground in the Siberian snowfields, a tragic accident occurred that should never have happened.

The cause of the accident was "human error".

[Doctor, the intruders have released many objects, including 682. Based on the latest surveillance footage, it seems they are searching for a specific object!]

In an office somewhere in the D-325 base, a white-haired old man listened to the urgent report coming from the communicator and gave orders without hesitation.

"We can't let the invaders continue their actions any longer. Send out an elite task force, regardless of life or death!"

【...】

"what happened?"

Seeing that after his order was given, the communicator suddenly became as silent as death and no sound came out, the old man called "Doctor" suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Everyone, answer me immediately, are you here or not?"

The old man, who couldn't believe that the command room was breached silently, held on to the last bit of hope that they might have been too busy to respond, and gave a stern order to the other end of the communicator.

[Yes, but I am not one of yours.]

This time the communicator was no longer silent, but the voice that came out was not the voice of anyone the old man with wide eyes was familiar with.

This was the voice of a very young, even underage boy, with a very standard British English accent.

But through his own experience, the old man was very sure.

The other person is definitely not British, or even European or American.

Maybe the other party has been using this British English to communicate for many years, but there is definitely another language that has been used for a longer time, which is the other party’s native language.

And this language is very likely an Asian language.

However, this information was not enough for the old man to determine the other party's identity and purpose, so the old man quickly calmed down and regained his composure.

"Invader, do you know that the things you release, if they escape any one of them, will cause a huge disaster to the entire society?"

He opened the drawer, took out a Glock pistol and hid it in his robe behind him. As he stood up and walked out of the office, he raised his voice silently and asked sternly.

[Please rest assured, after achieving our goal, I will take the initiative to help you destroy those things.]

There seemed to be a hint of laughter in his voice as the young man on the other end of the communicator said.

[However, releasing those things was a last resort. After all, I don't have any specific information about the target's location, so I can only search for them one by one.]

How foolish! If these things could be destroyed, how could they have the chance to be released by you?!

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

Well, after all, their work of blocking the news was done perfectly, so it was normal that the other party didn't know.

Moreover, since the other party wants to destroy those things, it means that he is not a cruel person. Maybe we can ask him to help us contain them.

After all, anyone who can break through the armed defenses of the entire base and survive after releasing those dangerous things must be very powerful.

"If possible, please tell me your goal. Perhaps I can help you find it."

However, the most urgent task now is to prevent the other party from releasing more objects.

The things released now are enough to make them suffer. If more are released, it will be a real disaster.

"Really? Well, that's fine. With the help of insiders, we can save a lot of effort."

The old man's proposal was quickly accepted by the young man.

[What I'm looking for is a little girl around 7 years old. The characteristic is that all life that has visual contact, physical contact, or stays around her for more than 10 minutes will fall into a paranoid and murderous state.]

While walking cautiously in the eerie and silent corridor and listening to the young man's description, the old man immediately found the corresponding existence in his mind.

"It's PSC-053. Its containment facility is three kilometers south of the command room. Would you like me to lead the way?"

The old man, who originally thought that his organization's intelligence blockade work was very strict, never imagined that one day he would be able to hear such detailed information about the contained objects from an outsider.

Where has the intelligence blockade gone after all these years?

【Also, there is another one...】

The young man seemed to have more to say, but he didn't know if it was the old man's illusion, he always felt that the other party's voice seemed to pause subtly.

[This refers to girls aged 16-18. They are characterized by strong sexual desire for their partner and will do anything to have an inappropriate relationship with them, regardless of whether they are willing or not.]

"..."

Hearing this, the old man paused.

Even this most confidential information has been known to them. What else do they know that the other party doesn't know?

————Okay, the other party doesn’t know the location of these two objects.

However, if there is such detailed information, why is there no location?

Although he had such doubts, the old man knew that now was not the time to dwell on this matter.

"Since you have such detailed intelligence, you should also know how dangerous your second target is to you and to society."

"Even so, do you want to release it?"

【Anyway, this has nothing to do with you, so it’s okay if you don’t care. 】

It was clearly audible that the voice coming from the other end of the communicator was gradually becoming more and more helpless.

[I'm waiting for you at the corner in front of you. In exchange for protecting your safety, please lead the way.]

My position has been taken?!

His pupils shrank slightly, and the old man suddenly turned around to look at the surveillance camera at the top of the corridor, feeling extremely annoyed.

What a mistake! I actually forgot that there is a central system inside the command room that connects to all the monitoring facilities in the base.

However, no matter how much he regretted it now, it was too late. The old man could only quickly adjust his mentality, staring at the corner in front of him with his eagle-like sharp eyes, and consciously placing his left hand in a range where he could reach the pistol as quickly as possible. The well-trained muscles all over his body were tensed to the extreme.

As the corner got closer, the old man's vigilance almost reached its limit, in order to prevent all adverse possibilities from happening.

3 steps... 2 steps... 1 step...

As the distance got closer, finally, when the old man turned the corner, the scene inside the corner came into his eyes.

"Good morning, old sir."

The young man in black military uniform and with a gentle smile gently took off his military cap to greet people. His flaming eyes and handsome face with a hint of childishness were unforgettable.

It is hard to imagine that this young man, who looks like a young master from some family, would be the one to release so many dangerous creatures.

Chapter 292: Our slogan is shelter!

"Dr. Andre, could you please tell me the details about the two subjects I've assigned?"

Walking with the old man in the messy and dim corridor, Jia Ye asked with a smile.

"...Okay, I hope you can change your mind soon after listening to this."

After a long silence, the old man named Andre nodded and began to explain the data and information about the two objects in their PSC containment facility.

Although telling outsiders such confidential information is a serious crime, Andre does not mind breaking this rule if it can help dissuade the young man from his thoughts.

After all, rules are dead, but people are alive.

It's better for the secret to be known to outsiders than for the dangerous object to be released.

"Let's talk about PSC-053 first. She's an optimistic little girl, more mature than most children her age. She's also the only living being currently able to have close contact with PSC-682."

"Although its abilities led to its containment and restraint, preventing anyone from having prolonged contact with it, it accepted all of this silently and continued to live its life in the containment facility with its usual optimism."

"It loves to draw. Although its level is only average because it has never been taught, the things it draws are always cute and make you smile."

"To be honest, if it didn't have that ability, it would definitely be a lovely and good child. That's what I personally think."

"And based on this ability, it also has a physique that can quickly heal no matter how serious the injury. Although it is impossible to determine whether it is immortal, it is at least a body with strong vitality."

After he finished speaking, Andre paused, looked at Jia Ye, whose expression remained unchanged, and then continued.

"PSC-166 is a girl who resembles the 'succubus' in the story. Upon seeing her appearance, anyone who has a liking for the concept of 'female', whether directly or indirectly, will develop a strong fascination with her and attempt sexual contact with her, regardless of sexual orientation, age, level of liking, or even race."

"Due to its physique, even the lightest clothing will cause ulcers on its skin within 45 minutes of wearing it. Therefore, for health reasons, PSC-166 is allowed to remain naked. In addition, all bedding used by it must be made of long-staple cotton and changed weekly."

"Based on the results of medical and physical examinations, PSC-166 displayed several characteristics that differed from human standards. These included a body shape that remained constant regardless of food intake, nail and hair growth that ceased, and the absence of pores. In almost every respect, it met the human conception of a 'perfect body'."

"Also, PSC-166 is able to forcefully command all beings it has mesmerized. Although it doesn't usually display this, during one test, when faced with a man about to assault it, it commanded him to die."

"We speculate that this command was regular because after it was given to the man, he died not in any physical way, but simply from the inexplicable cessation of his bodily functions."

"So after this incident, we have raised the containment alert level for PSC-166 to 'Q'. In fact, if PSC-166 had not been as cooperative and communicative as before, we would have even considered raising its alert level to the highest level, 'K'."

From Andre's narration and the information he had, Jia Ye could already roughly infer the degree of danger the two faced.

It is true that they need to be taken in to feel at ease.

Jia Ye fully agrees with this, but this does not mean that he will change his mind.

Because he had made preparations and backup plans beforehand, he was not worried about being affected by the two targets' abilities that directly affected their minds.

Although the ability of one of them really made him feel a little helpless, since this trip had caused such a big fuss, he could only try to contact the two of them.

But he certainly wouldn't force them if they didn't want to.

After all, there is more than one qualified candidate for the Guardian.

And if in the end no one is willing to be his guardian, then he doesn't care.

It's just an activity to kill time, so it doesn't matter whether you gain anything from it or not.

"...Mr. Kisaragi, if possible, I hope that after you achieve your goal, you can help us re-contain the escaped subjects."

Seeing Jia Ye's expression, Andre immediately knew that he had not changed his mind, so knowing that he would not listen to his advice, Andre turned around and asked.

"Of course, I also live in this society after all. If society is in chaos, it won't do me any good."

Nodding, Jia Ye said with a smile.

Great, at least he's not a lunatic.

After receiving Jia Ye's assurance, although its credibility was doubtful, Andre still subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, Dr. Andre, you are the only living person who has seen what I look like."

Looking at Andre, Jia Ye's expression suddenly became a half-smile.

"..."

After hearing his somewhat ambiguous words, Andre immediately understood what he meant.

"...I understand. If you can help us re-contain those objects, then I am willing to be killed by you."

In response to this, he remained silent for a while, then just nodded with a complicated expression.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Dr. Andre."

Nodding calmly, Jia Ye didn't have any special feelings about the result.

It was as if he never cared whether Andre would agree or not.

"...Looks like we have a guest."

His gaze paused slightly, and Jia Ye looked at Qiang, and suddenly a smile of interest appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"...PSC-106 possesses the ability to travel across space. Each stride it takes will allow it to cross a small distance, directly arriving at a location some distance away. However, due to its extremely slow movement and the limited distance it can cross, its special containment procedure consists of a large, multi-story conveyor belt room to ensure it can never truly move forward."

Following Jia Ye's gaze, Andre's eyes narrowed slightly and he explained softly.
