บท 23: SHADOWS OF BETRAYAL

In the depths of a hidden and shadowy facility lay a clandestine laboratory, shrouded in darkness and secrecy. The air was thick with an eerie silence, broken only by the soft hum of advanced machinery and the faint gurgling of liquid. The laboratory appeared like a scene from a nightmare, with cutting-edge technology intertwining with the macabre.

"What in the name of Dronzer is that?", asked a surprised Captain Amatsukami.

Within the sleek and sterile confines of the research facility, a chamber concealed a series of ominous red pods, each containing a human test subject. The pods, resembling futuristic cocoons, pulsated with an ethereal glow, casting an eerie crimson hue across the room. These test subjects, vessels for stigmatal experimentation, emanated a captivating bioluminescence, their bodies suffused with a mesmerizing aura.
