Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Pure Fear and Dread

A chilling atmosphere overtook the once-quiet room, causing the temperature to plummet. Commander Kong remained tense, prepared for any unexpected developments.

"Commander Kong...," a concerned voice emanated from the miniature earpiece den den mushi, a specially crafted device designed by Cypher Pol technicians.

Although the monitors couldn't see the ghost itself, they picked up on the subtle shifts in Kong's expression and posture.

These abrupt changes spurred all CP0 agents to their feet, poised to provide assistance.

Kong swiftly replied, "You don't need to come."

He scrutinized his surroundings with even greater intensity. The red glow in his pupils, a clear sign of his use of Observation Haki, persisted.

Ka-lick Ka-cha Ka-lick Ka-cha Ka-lick Ka-cha

The den den mushi projectors flickered on and off in unison, casting eerie shadows throughout the room. The lights within the chamber also started to fluctuate, indicating the imminent arrival of something ominous.

After several seconds of flashing lights, the room was engulfed in complete darkness.

Simultaneously, in the surveillance room:

"We've got a situation!"

"We've lost contact with the commander, and all our den den mushi connections are down!"

"Nothing is connecting at all!"

In an instant, chaos engulfed the Surveillance room. The monitor that had previously displayed Kong's room had plunged into complete darkness, rendering all images nonexistent.

CP agents were thrown into a frenzy, doing everything they could to re-establish contact with their den den mushi devices. However, their frantic efforts proved futile.

Suddenly, all the monitors in the surveillance room flickered and displayed static-like images simultaneously. It seemed as if an unnatural force had infiltrated their den den mushi devices.

A bone-chilling coldness swept through the room, causing the CP0 agents to exhale misty breaths, their bodies covered in goosebumps.

"It's the ghost! The ghost has appeared!" one CP0 agent shouted.

"Quickly, fix all the monitors! We must not lose sight of that ghost!"

The head of the surveillance room issued rapid orders to the agents present.

The previously flickering static on the monitor screens shifted abruptly, and everything went black before displaying something ominous. The scene revealed a dark, moonless night, almost as impenetrable as ink, filling the agents with an overwhelming sense of dread and fear.

The image depicted a sinister forest with an ancient, ominous well at its center. A dense, oppressive darkness seemed to emanate from the well, and as the seconds passed, a sound of nails scraping echoed. The agents were spooked as the eerie sound felt as though it didn't originate from the audio but was happening right in front of them. The scraping grew progressively louder, like the agents were peering through a screen directly in front of the well, and an ominous presence was emerging before their eyes.

The dire situation had the agents in a state of panic and discomfort, their hearts pounding with anticipation of the dreadful outcome they were about to confront.

"Oh, shit..." The head of the surveillance room's eyes widened, his mouth agape in astonishment, as he involuntarily blurted out in response to the unexpected turn of events.

From the depths of the old well, a white figure emerged, slowly ascending in a sinister and eerie manner. Its limbs moved in unnatural ways, retaining human proportions but displaying an inhuman, unsettling motion that sent shivers down the spines of the agents.

As they observed, it became clear that the figure was a woman. She moved slowly towards the edge of the monitor, her appearance flickering from side to side. The sight of her was enough to elicit beads of sweat on the foreheads of the agents.

Upon reaching the monitor's edge, the woman slowly raised her hand. The agents held their breath, their tension mounting as they witnessed the scene unfold. Suddenly, the woman's hand passed through the monitor!

"What the heck?!" A CP0 agent's scalp tingled with unease as he saw the woman seemingly materialize directly in front of him. Panic-stricken, he rushed toward the door, desperately attempting to escape.

But his attempts to open the door were futile; it was as if an unseen force on the other side was obstructing it, effectively barricading their exit.

In the next instant, the agent heard a blood-curdling scream emanating from behind him.

"Dammit, she's out!" When those words reached his ears, the CP0 agent looked behind him to witness the woman standing before them.

"Aaaahhh!!!" Screams reverberated throughout the night, filling the room with terror.

Dark red blood began to seep from beneath the surveillance room door, painting a gruesome picture.
