Chapter 389 The Monster at the Comic Con!
"Are you done taking pictures?"
"All done, all done, thank you, Emperor Knight Bro."
"Haha, don't be shy~"
Inside Hall 3, a man dressed in a Kamen Rider Decade suit waved to two teenagers in front of him. This was already the umpteenth visitor to take a photo with him today. Although he was very tired and exhausted, he felt a sense of excitement looking at those smiling faces.
When cosplaying at a comic convention, besides enjoying it yourself, the most important thing is that you hope someone will take photos of you with you.
This is not just about satisfying one's vanity; more importantly, it's about adding a beautiful memory to one's otherwise peaceful life.
Aside from the professional cosplayers, everyone who comes to the anime convention is doing it out of passion. Take his Kamen Rider Decade suit, for example; he saved up for three months to buy it. He even used the money he would have spent on a new phone to buy it.
"Alright, let's rest for a bit." Just as "Decade" was saying goodbye to the boys, his companion walked over and handed him a bottle of water. "Hungry?"
"Thank goodness, I was a little hungry at first, but I've gotten over it now." Instead of immediately taking the water, "Decade" first laboriously removed his helmet.
"It has to be you. Wearing this in the middle of summer, look at how cool other people are dressed, and then look at what you're wearing. Aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke?"
"Hey, that's called passion, you know? Anyway, there are only two anime conventions this big a year." The "Decade Guy" wiped his sweat, took a sip of water, and smiled. "Besides, look how good-looking those people are. If I were as good-looking as them, why would I wear this? I would just hang a pink camera and come."
Hearing this, his male companion gave him a helpless glance. "If you don't want to show your face, wear the Deadpool costume. It's cheaper, and more breathable."
"How can that be the same? I'm a tokusatsu fan, do you even understand tokusatsu?"
"I understand, I understand. You don't need to wear a suit. Look at those guys who took photos with you earlier. They just wore a belt and that's enough to prove they're tokusatsu fans and they can cosplay at the same time."
"What do you call that cosplay? That's just amateur stuff. So many people wear belts, but look at all these people, how many of them are actually wearing a suit like me?"
"That's because they're not as foolish as you..."
"Hey!" "Decade Bro" slapped his companion on the back, then laughed. "Never mind, it's not as hot as you think. The air conditioning in this arena is pretty good; the indoor temperature is kept below 24."
"You're right," his male companion nodded. "Is the air conditioning set too high? You know what, I'm even feeling a bit cold."
At this moment, a boy next to the two also came over. "Are you guys cold too? I've been feeling a bit chilly since earlier, even though the other venues aren't this warm."
Attracted by the boy's words, "Decade Guy" chimed in, "Aren't the other venues this cold?"
"No, the temperature over there is just normal, neither hot nor cold, but for some reason, I felt really cold here as soon as I walked over, like I had stepped into a cold storage." The boy rubbed his hands together and breathed on them as he said this.
"Could it be that we're standing right next to an air conditioner vent?" "Decade's" companion guessed.
Upon hearing this, "Decade" and the other boy also began to look around, trying to find the location of the air conditioning vent.
When the boy subconsciously looked up to search, his expression froze for a moment, as if he were confirming something, and then he let out a sharp, explosive sound.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The noisy venue was shattered by this scream, and almost everyone nearby looked in the direction of the boy, and the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Many people were startled by the boy's voice, especially since it was shrill and he was shouting so loudly that it sounded jarring in the otherwise cheerful atmosphere.
At first, some people thought there was a fight going on and curiously looked at the boy and the people around him. But when they followed the boy's gaze upwards, their expressions froze.
In the dim light of the high beams of the exhibition hall, a monster with its entire body in black was hanging upside down.
Its enormous body had a deformed outline; despite its huge size, it was emaciated and looked like a giant baboon that hadn't eaten for who knows how long.
The deep, cleavage-like muscles clung tightly to the bones, barely visible beneath the dark fur. Every inch of its pitch-black skin seemed to absorb all light, making it look more like a demon born from the abyss.
The monster had the head of a lion, its four claws sharp as knives, tightly curled up as if ready to reap lives at any moment, and its tail was that of a scorpion, its tail raised high in an eerie arc, with a long, sword-like stinger at the tip radiating an ominous aura.
The crowd below was so terrified by the monster that had appeared out of nowhere that they stood frozen in place, their faces filled with fear and helplessness. Their bodies were incredibly stiff, and their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
"I...I...I didn't see that wrong, did I?"
The boy who initially screamed started to stammer.
"If you also saw a black monster hanging from the ceiling, ready to come down and kill us, then I can vouch for you that you didn't see wrong..." Decade said, slowly backing away while staring at the monster.
It has been proven that when some young people encounter danger, their first reaction is often not to consider their current situation, but to start thinking about poverty.
"Decade's" companions also began to retreat. "Hey, this guy seems to be staring at you the whole time. Is he coming for you?"
"Are you kidding me?!" Decade yelled, as if his tail had been stepped on. "This is clearly an enemy of magical girls!"
But whether it was because of their actions or his scream, the monster on the roof beam seemed to be disturbed.
With a flick of its tail, the monster lunged straight down at the group of people below.
"Holy shit!!"
Faced with a life-or-death situation, the three men's legs didn't give way, and they immediately took off running.
"His mother was definitely after you!!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Go and fight him!"
"Should I stuff it until it dies!?"
"Where's your knight's kick?"
"No matter how you look at it, this is impossible!!"
The commotion caused by the three men to quickly retreat from the surrounding crowd.
In just a few seconds, the crowded people cleared a large space, and the monster pounced on the ground, tearing several cracks in the floor.
It's just that this location is relatively remote, in a corner of the exhibition hall. Otherwise, if this thing were on one of those booths, it would be really hard for so many tourists to keep their distance from it.
The initial joy was completely overshadowed by a sense of oppression. No one expected that such a bizarre monster would appear at such a grand exhibition.
Or you could say that some people have indeed thought about it, but they simply cannot believe that it could actually be realized. After all, although the existence of magical girls and evil creatures is public knowledge, very few people in the world have actually seen those monsters with their own eyes.
Now that they had witnessed the monster appear before them, everyone present truly felt the oppressive aura emanating from it.
Having failed in its first attack, the monster did not launch another attack.
It stared with a pair of scarlet eyes, its pupils burning like flames, radiating a bloodthirsty aura as it greedily gazed at the crowd not far away.
In its eyes, those humans, their faces filled with astonishment, seemed to be lambs to the slaughter, ready to become its delicious meal at any moment. It showed no pity or mercy, only a thirst for life.
They rushed into the crowd. The three of them hadn't recovered yet, but being away from the monster and surrounded by people actually gave them some courage. The boy cautiously turned around and looked at the huge creature wagging its tail with an uncertain expression.
The monster seemed to enjoy the fear of humans. It moved its body slightly, then opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs. Black liquid dripped from its teeth, emitting a nauseating stench.
Staring directly at the human before it, it let out a low growl from its throat, a sound that seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down the spines of everyone who heard it.
