[Halloween Event] Whispers Through the Radio Result
[p]![]()
[/p][p]Dear CEOs,[/p][p]A few days ago, we conducted an investigation into an unregistered communication log discovered in the headquarters database.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Although the witnesses initially appeared to be in normal condition, they exhibited severe signs of mental contamination when recalling the incident.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Attached is the reconstructed report based on all available witness testimonies.
Please review it at your earliest convenience.[/p][p]
[/p][p]At exactly midnight, the dark briefing room lay submerged in a silence so complete
that even a held breath felt intrusive.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Then, from the shadowed corner of the wall, the abandoned old radio convulsed with a sharp crackle— as if something inside it were struggling to claw its way out.[/p][p]
[/p][p]It was not simple static.
It was a rupturing, a grotesque tearing noise,
as though something was crawling up from behind the speaker.[/p][p]
[/p][p]At that moment, a faint sound drifted in from the darkness outside the deck.[/p][p]
[/p][p]A cat’s meow.[/p][p]“…meow…”[/p][p]
[/p][p]But the sound twisted with every repetition.
The pitch faltered and stretched, becoming the clumsy imitation of some creature[/p][p] trying, and failing, to mimic a sound it had merely overheard.[/p][p]
[/p][p]And the radio answered with its own howl.[/p][p]“…ah… aaah… o… gk…”[/p][p]
[/p][p]A sound no human could make.
A tremor no machine could replicate.
A voice belonging to neither the living nor the dead.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Moments later, another sound rolled through the room— a beast’s low growl.
[/p][p]But it was too close, as if something were breathing just behind someone’s ear.[/p][p]
[/p][p]The ship’s sensors erupted with simultaneous warnings.
[/p][p]But the analysis displayed only one message:[/p][p]“Detected lifeforms: none.”[/p][p]
[/p][p]Then a shadow moved.[/p][p]It crossed the room without touching the floor, wall, or air.
[/p][p]A streak of darkness sliding through space without a single footstep or whisper.[/p][p]
[/p][p]It murmured something the machines could not interpret.
[/p][p]Whispers rose from behind the walls, the ceiling, the floor—
circling, approaching, retreating, circling again.[/p][p]
[/p][p]A new voice burst from the radio.[/p][p]“Ahah— ahahahaha—!”[/p][p]
[/p][p]Laughter followed.
But not the laughter of anything living.[/p][p]
[/p][p]It was the dry clatter of hollow things knocking together inside an empty chest.[/p][p]“…it… it watches us… mocks us…”[/p][p]
[/p][p]The red emergency lights flickered violently.
The room’s temperature collapsed.
Every breath escaped as pale, trembling mist.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Then the door slammed open.[/p][p]A soldier stumbled in.
Half of his body was swallowed by the red fog, writhing like living tentacles dragging him forward.[/p][p]
[/p][p]With the last scraps of breath he forced out,[/p][p]“They… have awakened…!”[/p][p]
[/p][p]Before he could finish,
The red fog seized him whole and dragged him screaming into the corridor’s darkness.[/p][p]Silence settled into the room like dust.[/p][p]
[/p][p]The radio did not stop.[/p][p]Metal scraping, a child’s giggle, an animal’s howl—
fractured voices jammed together into a single, warped proclamation.[/p][p]
[/p][p]“The feast of knowledge is prepared.
The banquet begins.
Imperfect beings… be made whole.”[/p][p]
[/p][p]Then, beyond the window—
a vast shadow coiled around the ship’s hull.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Tentacles.
Dark, slick, glistening with a wet sheen.
Every inch covered in dozens of red eyes, pressed against the glass as if peering into the room.[/p][p]
[/p][p]The ship’s outer plating screamed.
Metal bent and warped—a slow, agonizing groan that rattled deep in the crew’s bones.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Lights snapped violently.[/p][p]For the briefest instant, the ship’s emblem on the wall writhed like living flesh, twisting into a sigil no one recognized.[/p][p]
[/p][p]And then—[/p][p]A soft, painfully familiar woman’s voice flowed from the terminal.[/p][p]
[/p][p]“I will not let you activate it.
You’ve already lost.”[/p][p]
[/p][p]From the lower deck, the sound of dragging metal echoed through the dark.
Something shifted behind a barely-open door. Someone—or something—was moving.[/p][p]The door creaked open. And then everything was swallowed.[/p][p]
[/p][p]In the briefing room, every sound vanished at once.[/p][p]Not peace.
Not rest.[/p][p]
