Cthulhu: I Created the Monster Sequence

Inside an apartment, Chen Ye sipped coffee calmly as sirens wailed outside. "Such social unrest."

*Useless pawns. No updates for days.*

"Guess I'll handle this myself."

He grabbed a vial of murky liquid and gulped it down.

His body convulsed violently as ghostly spider-silk threads materialized around him.

At South Dam Hotel, the Hive Queen stared at her phone.

"Problem?" Li Yuan asked, now human and healed.

"The Master messaged. Asked if we retrieved the *blood*."

"Blood? Weren't we supposed to kill Chu Yang?"

"Wait—did you mishear the order? Was it 'kill him' or 'collect blood'?!"

"If the Master wanted him alive..." The Hive Queen paled. "We slaughtered his crucial ingredient."

Li Yuan's blood ran cold. *The Master grants power—and can revoke it.*

"The one the police took? Check now!"

"Wait—did we forget about No.003?"

Chaos erupted outside the municipal hospital. A multi-car police pileup burned fiercely—casualties strewn everywhere.

Wang Haonan lit a cigarette, surveying the carnage. "Done."

As Wang Haonan left, a charred figure crawled from the wreckage.

"Deep Breath... saved me... barely..."

Next day, news reduced the tragedy to "gas leak and traffic accident." The police deaths went unacknowledged—the Hive Queen's influence now suffocated Beiling City. Her neurotoxins flowed in politicians' veins, silencing all reports.

At the police bureau, the Chief pounded his desk.

"Beiling's trapped in a web! Monsters rule here—and their collaborators hide in plain sight!"

"I'm taking this to the capital!"

An officer entered with a file. "Captain Yang's final report."

The Chief opened "Project Nine-Tails"—Yang Yan's posthumous manifesto:

*"If you read this, I'm dead. Don't mourn. From day one as an officer, I knew this fate."*

The document detailed supernatural entities and proposed countermeasures:

*"Break cognitive shackles. These aren't humans—fight them on their terms. Study, contain, control."*

*"The key lies within the monsters themselves."*

*"We Secure. We Contain. We Protect."*

Termination of Plans!
