Marvel: I Started by Containing SCPs

"Kuwajii! Daigo! Norui, where are you?! Answer me, quick!"

In the dormitory area, Shinjo shouted anxiously in all directions, his hand gripping the gun trembling violently.

Everything happened too fast and too eerily, leaving Shinjo, who was already afraid of ghosts, in sheer terror. Every step he took made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The on-site communicator had malfunctioned, and he couldn't see anyone else around, which only deepened his worry.

Adding to that was the strange sound from earlier, making his heartbeat race to the extreme. In this quiet atmosphere, his pounding heart echoed loudly in his ears.

"Damn it, this can't really be a haunting, right? No way, ghosts don't exist… right?"

Shinjo spoke with trembling lips, his face pale as a sheet.

"AAAAAH!!"

"AAAAAH!!"

Suddenly, a scream echoed in the distance. He had no idea who had fallen victim to whatever was lurking in the base.

The scream startled Shinjo so much that he jumped, his handgun slipping from his grasp and falling to the floor.

"Shinjo, what are you doing here?"

At that moment, Kuwajii's voice rang out.

Turning around, Shinjo saw Kuwajii standing behind him, his face calm and unbothered.

"Kuwajii! Thank goodness!"

Seeing a familiar face at last, Shinjo felt immense relief wash over him. He rushed toward Kuwajii, his tension easing.

"What's going on? Do you know what's happening? Where is everyone else?"

Shinjo fired off questions one after another.

"I don't know either. But everyone is safe—I'll take you to them now."

Kuwajii's tone was almost emotionless.

However, Shinjo didn't notice anything odd and immediately followed him.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Suddenly, another scream rang out from around the corner.

Kuwajii came running from the corridor, his face full of terror. His large body moved frantically, drenched in sweat from exertion.

"Eh?! Kuwajii?!"

Shinjo gasped in shock at the sight of a second Kuwajii.

"Shinjo!"

The newly arrived Kuwajii froze momentarily upon seeing Shinjo, then looked pitifully distressed.

"Thank goodness! I finally found someone alive! Do you have any idea how many ghosts chased me? It was horrible! Waaaah!!"

Tears welled up in Kuwajii's eyes as he sobbed.

"Wait a minute! If you're Kuwajii… then who's this?!"

Shinjo looked bewildered as he pointed at the other Kuwajii, who now had a grim expression.

"Ah! Why is there another me?!"

The real Kuwajii gasped in shock and took a step back.

"That guy is fake! I'm the real one! Come with me, now!"

The grim-faced Kuwajii shouted at Shinjo, his eyes sharp.

"You idiot! You're the fake one! Shinjo, look carefully!"

Kuwajii snapped in anger and pulled out his gun, firing without hesitation.

The bullets passed straight through the imposter Kuwajii, causing no harm whatsoever.

Realizing the truth, Shinjo's hands trembled as he raised his gun, pointing it at the fake Kuwajii.

"So you're fake after all! What the hell are you?!"

The impostor's body suddenly began to change, morphing into a semi-transparent ghostly figure with a terrifying, blood-stained face.

"AAAAAH!! A GHOST!!"

Seeing the ghost right in front of him, Shinjo let out a high-pitched scream, firing his gun frantically.

However, no matter how fiercely he shot, the bullets had no effect on the apparition.

"You idiot! Bullets don't work on ghosts! Run!!"

Kuwajii yelled at Shinjo, grabbing his arm to flee.

But as soon as they turned around, they froze in place.

More ghosts had appeared behind them, all glaring at them menacingly.

At that moment, both of them felt absolute despair. Against these supernatural beings, they were powerless. They could only cower together like terrified children in a horror movie, screaming in sheer panic.

"Jigoku Jōdo!"

A loud, commanding voice echoed.

From the dark hallway, a blue beam of light shot forth, cutting through all the ghosts and enveloping Kuwajii and Shinjo.

"AAAAAH!!"

The sudden light was so intense that both Shinjo and Kuwajii instinctively covered their eyes, shielding their faces.

As the glow faded, they hesitantly opened their eyes—only to see that the ghosts surrounding them had all vanished into smoke.

"What… just happened?"

They were completely bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just occurred.

Thud, thud, thud!

Heavy footsteps echoed.

Terrified, Shinjo and Kuwajii raised their guns again, aiming toward the source of the sound.

From the darkness emerged a figure clad in armor, holding a knight's lance in his right hand and a round shield in his left. A red cape billowed behind him, making him look like a warrior straight out of the Middle Ages.

"What… the hell is that?"

Kuwajii's mind nearly exploded from the sheer absurdity of it all. First ghosts, now a knight? What on earth was happening?!

The knight glanced at Kuwajii and Shinjo briefly before suddenly charging at them, thrusting his lance forward.

Thinking they were under attack, the two panicked and tried to raise their guns—but it was already too late.

However, to their surprise, the knight's lance did not hit them.

Instead, it struck the wall behind them.

"AAAAAH!!"

A ghastly shriek erupted from the wall.

Turning around, they saw a ghost impaled on the knight's lance, its form smoking and dissolving.

After eliminating the ghost, the knight didn't spare them another glance. He simply turned and walked away.

Shinjo and Kuwajii stood in stunned silence, utterly confused.

They could only watch as the knight vanished into the darkness.

"Shinjo! Kuwajii!"

Another voice called out.

Turning, they saw Norui and Munakata approaching.

"Commander! Norui!"

Seeing them, Shinjo nearly collapsed in relief, exhaling deeply.

"Are you two okay? Did you see that knight just now?!"

Munakata asked urgently.

"You saw it too?!"

Shinjo exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, we were being attacked by a horde of ghosts, but that knight appeared and saved us!"

Norui answered.

"We have no idea what's going on. These ghosts suddenly appeared and took over the entire TPC base. Our weapons are useless against them, and many people have already died. If it weren't for that knight, we'd be dead too."
