I created a foundation

A dragonfly touches the water and it is divided at the first touch.

No extra words, no lingering farewell.

She stood up and walked towards the private dressing room built into the bedroom. The metal door slid open silently and closed behind her.

The room returned to silence, leaving Lin Qing alone. He stared at the closed locker room door with a deep look in his eyes.

Just seconds later, the locker room door slid open again.

Yotsuya Miko came out looking brand new.

The tight black combat suit that outlined the perfect curves was no ordinary item. It was woven from a memory fiber mixed with nanomaterials specially developed by the Foundation, possessing extremely strong defense, environmental adaptability, and energy conductivity.

The cold metallic luster flows under the light, full of a solemn sense of futuristic technology.

The joints of the combat suit have reserved interfaces for external power-assist systems, and the Foundation's silver fleur-de-lis emblem is printed on the chest.

Her long black hair, which usually draped smoothly over her shoulders, was now neatly tied into a high ponytail, swaying gently with her movements, revealing her delicate ears and slender neck.

The temperament is completely different.

If she was a delicate flower carefully cared for in a greenhouse just now, then at this moment, she was a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, exposed and ready to drink blood at any time.

Below her smooth neck, at the beginning of her spine, a silver metal ring fits tightly against her skin, with complex miniature runes engraved on its surface.

That was the startup interface and energy core of the [Mechanical Exoskeleton Type 9]. At this moment, it was emitting a faint blue light, like the breath of a sleeping giant beast, waiting for the command to wake it up.

On her waist, on the left side is a specially made psychic dagger, and on the right side is a small energy box for quickly replenishing spiritual power.

The basement of Lin Qing's private residence is one of the core areas of the Foundation's Tokyo branch.

Yotsuya Miko took the exclusive high-speed elevator directly to the No. 1 hangar, which was located 300 meters deep underground.

The moment the elevator door opened, a strong white light and a cold metallic smell hit me in the face.

The huge alloy gate rose silently in front of her, revealing a huge space inside that was wide enough to park several heavy transport planes.

The floor was paved with a special alloy, shining brightly. The walls were covered with complex pipes and indicator lights, and maintenance robots of various models were busy working in an orderly manner.

The air was filled with the smell of metal and high-purity energy, with a faint scent of disinfectant.

In the center of the hangar, two familiar figures were already standing upright in front of a ferocious-looking "Swift" class high-speed assault transport aircraft, with their backs to her.

The outer shell of the transport aircraft is matte black, with smooth and powerful lines. It has a wingless design and is driven by an anti-gravity engine, which is full of science fiction.

One of the figures was also wearing the black combat uniform that was standard for S-class members of the Foundation.

She was tall, with long black hair cascading down to her waist. Even from behind, she exuded a cold aura that kept people at a distance.

When she heard Jianzi's footsteps and turned around, there was no expression on her beautiful face, and her cold eyes were like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, as if they could freeze everything they were looking at.

In her hands, she tightly grasped two silver-white, slender, specially made psychic pistols, the muzzles of which flashed with a faint blue light.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

Her eyes were sharper than the gun in her hand. When she glanced at Jianzi, she nodded slightly as a greeting.

The other figure appeared more flamboyant.

Her golden twin ponytails were raised high, like burning flames, jumping as she swayed slightly.

Although she was also wearing combat uniform, the details had been personalized, such as the golden alloy armor plates on her elbows and knees, and the handles of two specially made high-frequency vibration swords slung across her back...

These modifications make her combat suit appear more agile and aggressive.

At this moment, her body was surrounded by fine, visible golden arcs of electricity, making a crackling sound. One could even smell a faint scent of ozone in the air. That was the tremendous electricity that she could not fully contain.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri.

She turned her head, her azure eyes flashing with excitement and a strong desire to fight, and there was even a hint of an impatient smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Jianzi, you're finally here! I can't wait to take down those idiots!"

Eriri's voice was crisp and full of energy, a stark contrast to Yukino's coldness.

In the Foundation's Tokyo branch, no, in the entire Far East, in terms of individual combat power and the rarity of superpowers, these three girls are undoubtedly at the top.

They are the sharpest swords in Lin Qing's hands and the foundation's trump cards for dealing with S-level abnormal events.

The First Tactical Squad of "The Chosen Ones" is their informal code name within the Foundation, representing the warriors chosen by the gods (Lin Qing).

Miko Yotsuya, the holder of [SCP-002-Yin Yang Eyes], is a natural psychic and an absolute trump card in mental attack and defense. She also has partial access to the [Mechanical Exoskeleton Type ].

Yukinoshita Yukino, the partial inheritor of the power of [SCP-006-Zanpakuto Nosai], is a perfect combination of ice and snow abilities and extraordinary physical skills, and an expert in close combat and mid-range control.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, the user of the [Thunder Fruit], is a humanoid self-propelled strategic-level weapon with unparalleled mobility and destructive power.

The three of them met eyes, without any words needed, the tacit understanding cultivated from years of fighting side by side had penetrated into their bones.

The mission briefing was simultaneously displayed on the tactical terminals of their wristbands - a large-scale disappearance of people occurred in the Shibuya area, the energy fluctuation level was determined to be S-level, and there was suspected activity of 2.5 high-risk abnormal creatures or organizations.

The specific enemy is unknown, but the level of danger is undeniable.

Yukino turned around first and walked towards the open door of the "Swift" transport plane with quick and decisive movements.

Eriri followed closely behind, the electric light around her slightly subsided, but the fighting spirit in her eyes became even more intense.

Yotsuya Miko cast one last glance toward the closed gate of the hangar, which led to the warm harbor she had just left. But her eyes held no hesitation, only a cold determination.

Three agile figures stepped into the cabin one after another.

The interior space of the cabin is not large, but it is filled with various precision instruments and tactical screens. The seats are ergonomically designed to minimize the overload caused by high-speed maneuvers.

The hatch slowly closed with a dull hydraulic sound, isolating everything from the outside world.

The Swift's engines roared deeply, like an ancient beast awakened. It then transformed into a faint blue afterimage, tearing through the air and soaring at high speed towards the area above, now shrouded in darkness and named "Shibuya."

Chapter 138: The Pillar Man's Lair

Under the inky darkness, a specially modified VH-71 White Top helicopter silently cut through the clouds above Tokyo at a speed far exceeding its design limits. Covered in an advanced optical camouflage coating, it blended seamlessly into the surroundings under the cover of darkness, making it difficult to detect even the most advanced radar systems.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was as heavy as ice.

Yukinoshita Yukino clad herself in a custom-made black combat suit, its tight design framing her shapely figure and facilitating high-speed combat. Her hands clad in alloy gloves, her eyes sharp as an eagle's as she gazed through the porthole at the brightly lit yet murderous city below. Her Sabretooth gene stirred within her, unleashing a primal hunting urge.

Eriri wore another type of light combat armor specially provided by the Foundation. Her golden twintails were tied back, giving her a sharp and dashing look. With her eyes closed, her [Observation Haki] extended outward like invisible tentacles, sensing every unusual energy fluctuation in the city. Her brow furrowed slightly, clearly sensing some disturbing signals.

Yotsuya Miko, wearing a modified, more accessible miko costume, held a simple-looking imperial coin in her arms. She didn't look out the window, but instead gazed down at her open palm. Within it, a faint, almost transparent light slowly gathered, pointing in a specific direction. This was the faint lingering life force of the missing, captured by her [Yin Yang Eyes] after she had been strengthened 14 years earlier.

"Expected to arrive over Shibuya in three minutes." A cold electronic synthesized voice came from the cockpit.

Xue No took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Report your respective perceptions."

Eriri opened her eyes first, and a flash of lightning flashed in her blue eyes:

"In the heart of Shibuya, there's a vast, sinister aura. It's like a black hole, constantly devouring everything around it. I've never felt such pure malice, filled with arrogance and disdain, as if treating everything as mere straw."

Her voice trembled slightly. The strength of that aura far surpassed any enemy they had encountered before, including the out-of-control Deep Sea King and the rampaging Tomie Matrix.

Yotsuya Miko raised her head and said in a soft but firm voice:

"The life-glow in my palm also points in the direction Eriri mentioned. That place... is where the life energy of all the missing people finally gathered and disappeared. That energy didn't dissipate naturally, but was forcibly stripped away and devoured."

A glimmer of compassion flashed in her eyes. Through her [Yin Yang Eyes], she could "see" the fear and despair of those who passed away in their final moments. They were like invisible marks, engraved in the energy field of Shibuya.

Yukino nodded, her eyes growing colder.

"It matches the intelligence from Foundation headquarters. The target, SCP-014, Ultimate Lifeform Kaz, chose Shibuya as his first lair after awakening. His purpose is likely to recover his strength by absorbing large amounts of life energy and adapt to this era."

The helicopter began to slow down and its altitude dropped rapidly.

"Prepare for airborne." Yukino checked the multi-functional tactical terminal on her wrist and gave a concise order.

The rear hatch slid open silently, letting in a sharp night breeze that ruffled the three girls' hair. Below them lay the familiar yet unfamiliar lights of Shibuya. The usually bustling intersection was now as silent as a ghostly den. Not a single pedestrian was visible, and even the lights of the cars had vanished.

A suffocating feeling of oppression enveloped the entire area.

Without any hesitation, the three of them jumped down from a height of a thousand meters one after another.

There was no parachute or any kind of cushioning device.

As she fell, Eriri's body arced with tiny arcs of electricity, deftly utilizing electromagnetic force to alter air resistance and adjust her posture. Yukino's body was instantly coated in a thin, tiger-striped layer of keratin, her muscles slightly tensing as she prepared for landing. Yotsuya Miko, supported by a gentle spiritual force, descended with the lightness of a feather.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Swish—"

Almost at the same time, the three of them landed silently on the rooftop of Shibuya 109 without making any unnecessary noise.

The Shibuya before them was completely different from the fashion center they remembered.

The streets were deserted, all the shops closed, their windows dusty. The neon lights on the billboards flickered grotesquely, yet offered no sign of life. The air was filled with a faint, fishy, ​​sweet smell that was nauseating.

"Start searching for the enemy." Yukino's voice broke the silence.

Yotsuya Miko immediately closed her eyes, and her [Yin Yang Eyes], which had been further strengthened by Lin Qing's [Ultimate Organism] cells, were fully activated.

In her vision, the world shed its material shell, transforming into an eerie canvas of countless flickering points of light and lines of energy. She could clearly "see" faint fluorescent lights, representing ordinary human life energy, like threads drawn by invisible hands, flowing from all corners of Shibuya, endlessly converging in the same direction.

Those energy flows drew long, sad trails in the air, and finally, like rivers returning to the sea, they sank into a huge, bottomless dark vortex located in the northeast.

The vortex exuded a terrifying devouring force, as if it was about to suck all the life out of Shibuya. She could even "hear" the subtle, almost imperceptible wails and howls of energy before being devoured.

"Northeast, three o'clock, about 1,500 meters away." Jianzi opened her eyes and immediately reported the location, her voice trembling with an uncontrollable tremor. "The negative energy there... is so huge, like a mountain."

At the same time, Eriri also compressed and focused the perception range of [Observation Haki] to the extreme.

She sensed it.

It was an evil aura as vast as a landslide or tsunami, as ancient as eons of ice, and filled with absolute arrogance and disdain. It wasn't as diffuse as previously perceived, but rather highly concentrated, like an awakened ancient evil god, hovering over the area, overlooking everything with an icy gaze.

In the face of this aura, she even had the illusion that she was extremely small, like an ant looking up at the starry sky.

"We've locked onto the target." Eriri's face paled slightly, but her eyes remained resolute. "That aura... is a hundred times stronger than any enemy we've encountered before! He... he seems to know we're coming."

Yukino pulled a high-magnification military telescope from her tactical waist pack. The lenses had been specially treated to filter out excess light pollution and had a certain energy detection capability. She looked in the direction the two men were pointing.

In the heart of Shibuya's bustling commercial district, the top floor of a building that was originally a landmark department store has been completely transformed into an extremely luxurious sky palace in the style of the ancient Roman Pantheon.

Massive Corinthian columns supported the dome, and the walls were carved with intricate, incomprehensible patterns that shimmered with an eerie light. At the entrance to Palace 593 stood two ferocious dripstone statues, like the guard dogs of Hell.

And in the center of the aerial temple, on a huge throne made of some unknown black crystal, a figure was sitting casually.

His bare chest revealed his perfectly defined muscles, every inch of his skin akin to a god's finest creation. His long, eerie purple hair cascaded freely over his shoulders like a flowing waterfall. His face was so handsome it transcended the boundaries of his gender, yet his deep eyes gleamed with an inhuman, icy light of indifference.

He seemed to have noticed Yukino's prying eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile full of mockery and playfulness. He even made a "please" gesture in the direction of the telescope from a long distance.
