Chapter 5: Internet Demon (part 2)

After temporarily knocking out the hospital staff, everyone quickly brought the subject out safely by special vehicles. To ensure secrecy, they did not use a police vehicle, but just a normal vehicle armored with bulletproof armor. The ASB had also contacted the hospital's leaders in advance to come up with an appropriate plan.

Although he had undergone training at the police school, Quoc still had to acknowledge the professionalism of this force. The force of selecting a great person here was also more than enough to be commended in any other force of the Vietnamese people's police. The soldiers here were strong enough to wipe out any kind of crime he knew.

After that, the group quickly returned to the base. One person was now waiting for them in a police officer uniform. A face that no one can forget.

- Comrade! - Both Thanh Lam and Bai Quoc spoke up and saluted in the correct military style. Quoc himself still did not think that the person who "tortured" him during his four years at the police school was his superior.

- Comrade Cuong, I'm waiting for you. - The deputy director smiled while talking to Thanh Lam. It's a bit clunky.

This attitude made the guy a bit unfamiliar. He still remembered this man's stern tone more.

The three then quickly pushed the baby's hospital bed.

- Comrades homecoming is fine. You're not an official member yet. – Deputy Director Cuong spoke up.

He walked towards Thanh Lam while the other staff took the baby to a special area.

The young man himself also overheard a little conversation between Thanh Lam and Colonel Cuong. It was also due to his slightly more sensitive hearing than normal people. Ever since he was kidnapped by that monster, he had acquired this ability. Quoc himself must admit, this person's somewhat polite attitude, as well as concern for Lam, made him a bit unfamiliar.

- The boy has been quarantined. The Abnormal Security Bureau experts will find a way to get the A.O out. - Chief spoke up. – We have long experience dealing with this, together with General Department X.

- What we feared has finally come, the A.O beyond our ability to cope. - Thanh Lam said with a thoughtful face. - When did Comrade Quan come? Wasn't he already informed?

- Not yet. When Quan arrives at Tan Son Nhat airport, I will notify you. - The chief said. – And you still want to choose that young man to be the Super Police?

- The person who has the final decision-making authority is the comrade minister. Besides, don't you also appreciate that comrade? - Thanh Lam spoke up.

- Right? There are very few people who believe in the people's police force as much as he does. Still, it's not known whether that trust will survive the ups and downs of the industry. Not to mention that what we are dealing with is thousands of times more dangerous than the average criminal. – Deputy Director Cuong said. - Many people have also died. Some have disappeared, turning their backs on the thatch of the people's police soldiers.

Then, the current teacher and superior walked in front of Quoc. He was a little startled when the man came suddenly, but the officer's demeanor calmed him down.

Maybe we still haven't properly introduced the Organization or called the Abnormal Security Bureau's policy? - He said.

- That's true. I just knew a little bit, and I was dragged on a mission. And how was my internship, exactly? – Bai Quoc asked. - Shouldn't I take a break?

- Basically, this can be considered an internship for you and me as well. - Thanh Lam interjected. – After all, the Abnormal Security Bureau belongs to

- Now let's give the official introduction to the Anormal Security Bureau first. The organization is a branch of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, bringing together many geniuses in the police force. The goal is to protect the Party, State, and, the peaceful life of the people in this country from dangerous anomalous forces and those who cooperate with them, causing violations of the law, especially the crimes that ordinary police cannot handle. – He summarized the main idea. – More serious operations will be handled by General Department X, under the Ministry of Defense. By the way, I'm Nguyen Quoc Lam, deputy director of the A.O Department, in charge of the southern branch.

- Then why not hand this to the military? - He asked.

- Because of the specific nature of the Organization. We do not destroy the A.O that we see ourselves, but only prevent, contain, and learn. Objects fighting in our special cases often operate in the residential area, like ordinary criminals. Maybe every time there are monsters, an entire area has to be leveled. For the same reason, the ASB is under the Ministry of Public Security, not the military. – He spoke up. – The army itself has its own, but cannot handle our special projects. That was exactly the  General Department X that he had heard about. Now, comrade, take a look at A.O 532.

Quoc was then given a tablet with a file on the A.O. Nor did he think that the Vietnamese police had a record of things beyond human understanding.

Item code: A.O 532 (Internet Demon)

Classification: Difficult to contain.

Description: A.O 532 – 1 is an item that is commonly seen as a black cloud when seen rarely. They have virus-like characteristics but infect through electronic devices. A.O 532-2 is normal people, of all ages, often experiencing a certain degree of stress. In some situations, when A.O 532-2 is stressed, A.O 532-1 will evolve from its cloud form into a fully-fledged living being. They share many characteristics with demonic phenomena described around the world.

When infected with 532-2, the victim's stress status will increase due to the appearance of an A.O 532-1. Several instances of 532-1 have appeared in the real world.

Containment Procedures: Instances 532 are often tracked down and captured by the Bureau of Anomalies. A process that combines technology and magic will be performed to separate the human individual and 532-1.

Addendum 1: Anomalous individuals 532-1 have been identified as having intelligence. Education efforts are currently ongoing.

Addendum 2: A.O 532 appears to be strengthening over time.

Addendum 3: The transmission of A.O 532 is being considered bioterrorism by a group of mysterious subjects if their nature increases in severity.

- So exactly the baby is not possessed by a demon? – Bai Quoc asked.

- Basically no. However, the A.O related to demonic possession is not without, it's just that right now I don't have time to search for comrades. - Thanh Lam said. – Although this thing is not a demon, it did its best to increase the stress on the baby. Up to the present time, there are no living relatives of the child, but the cause is also itself or the A.O that is controlling this child.

- It's only a child to have to endure such a terrible thing…!

- Take a break for now. Inside the tablet, there is room for new cadres. – The young woman said and quickly left, leaving Quoc alone.

At this time, the memories of the old days came back. At that time, Bai Quoc was just a scared child. He even had to watch his friends of the same age suffer tragedy just to survive and make fun of a terrifying being. Just when he thought there was no hope, people’s police came out. Those people fought with terrible fears that no human being could have imagined.

“Police soldiers gave themselves a second life. Now is the time to do it with others.” - He whispered in his head.

Then he went to the front of a room where the baby was being protected. Suddenly, he saw something appear, even standing next to a wall. It's blurry, but it looks terrifying.

Faced with this situation, the young man went inside because he was afraid that the little boy was in danger but did not see anything. He noticed that everything around him looked like a hospital bed. The boy was lying in a hospital gown with his name written on it.

- Tuan, right? Nice to see you. - Quoc asked and approached the child graciously.

- I want to drink coconut water. - The child spoke up. - There is only filtered water here.

- Do you like to drink? So are you. - The boy smiled.

He suddenly remembered the coconut that his parents used to give him when he was a child. At that time, everything was really good but unfortunately, he didn't feel its value until it was gone.

- I want to go out for a walk, but my illness doesn't allow it. Now we're involved in this again... - The child said and stopped because he felt pain in his stomach.

- Are you alright!? Let me go call the doctor! - The future police officer spoke up.

- I'm OK. Just being in one place is so boring. - The child said.

- How about letting him out...? - He asked from afar.

- It's okay to go out for a bit. - Dong Hoa's voice rang out.

- Hello comrade! - He said. Hands salute according to the regulations of the police.

- No need to be too formal, comrade. We'll be fine if we take the baby out for a bit. However, this must not be known to everyone to avoid causing more trouble. - Both of them took the baby out like that.

If anyone was paying close attention, it was smiling quite devilishly when no one was looking.

Quoc himself had to admit that Dong Hoa was very influential in the ASB. Most of the police officers did not suspect what he did. Suddenly, he thought that it would be extremely dangerous if he was an insider.

After that, everyone went to a game publishing center at Dam Sen water park. There are a lot of people here. That's also where the boy Tuan wants to go, according to his words. The noises from music to people talking made it difficult for Quoc to hear everything clear

“Sincerely apologize for keeping everyone waiting. Hope you enjoy…” - The presenter's voice rang out continuously. Now, everyone was having a good time.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Thanh Lam was looking everywhere. She wore the yellow shirt they had met at the diner. Her face was now quite worried and a little angry.

- What is she doing here? - Quoc wondered.

- I'll find you, damn bastard! - Her voice sounded extremely annoyed.

Finally, the girl also found the child and Quoc.

- Tuan! – Young woman ran over and hugged the baby who was holding a peeled coconut while watching the game.

- Hey, why did you come here? – Bai Quoc asked.

- That guy I have to ask. How dare you take the boy out of the Bureau's premises on your own? - She said with a slightly angry look.

- I think you should give him some stress relief. It's the victim, not the criminal. We are officials, should we care about the people? - Quoc said.

- Huh? - The witch Thanh Lam opened her mouth and did not understand what the man in front of her was saying.

- The boy seemed stressed, so I took him out here to play for a bit. Don't worry, it's just watching, not playing. I also bought more coconuts for information extraction! - Quoc said. - Perhaps he is trying to make up for the baby but what he lost when his parents were gone.

- If you don't know, don't decide on your own! – The young woman said.

- We must not only protect the peaceful life of the masse but also roprotectheir joy. – He said.

- Do you know how many murders happened with that entity? He needs to quickly separate that thing before it causes another murder...

- Murder… - He didn't seem to understand.

- The ASB has been monitoring it for several days now. Then they sent us there, you idiot. – Lam said. – I thought you are an excellent trainee, but I think I was wrong!

- Didn't you say…? -  Quoc just didn’t want to be blunt.

You have to infer from what you see! Don't understand what the police school taught you?

Then, the female trainee turned to Tuan.

- Let's go home! - The young woman said.

- No! - The boy said with a slightly unhappy face.

- I don't want to do it like this, but there's no way... - At this moment, Lam seemed to be planning to use magic to coerce.

Suddenly, the space around flashed. The child's eyes suddenly turned red. It was quickly surrounded by something jet-black with a terrifying sound.

- You can't stop me, dark witch! - A terrifying voice rang out. - This baby's body was made by me!

At this moment, a giant monster appeared. It was twice the size of an adult man. They were neither ape nor aspect. Its skin seemed to be suspended above the skeleton of its body. Its head was like a spring pendulum, moving continuously with a face that has eyes, nose, and mouth but was completely expressionless. Its hands had monstrously long claws.

- Oh my God! - All the people here quickly run away from what they don't understand. However, the group quickly fainted on the spot because of the strong spiritual shock.

- Did you do it!?-  Quoc asked.

- Seriously, comrade Quoc!?  - She said. – Can't you see that this is the enemy's fault!?

- Is this the A.O!? - The young man spoke while pulling out the weapon in his hand. – It looks different from the ones I have seen.

- There are many kinds of anomalies, comrades! - Thanh Lam said. - They come in many different shapes and properties. That's what makes these so terrifying.

On his first day working for the organization he liked, the young man made a mistake. Training in the police school wasn't enough as he was so inexperienced. He thought that what he went through as a child and the training program was more than enough, but the boy was too subjective. He relied on guesswork instead of observing and finding evidence like he was taught.
