My Cerberus Girlfriend

Book Four: Chapter 17

As Roger, Agent Rolf, and the Cerberus women approached the restaurant with the cat statue on top, they saw people banging on the glass window as if they were begging to come inside.

"Are you okay?" Roger asked.

The crowd turned toward him. Their eyes glowed purple like lanterns inside their skulls.

Roger's mouth dropped. "What the-"

All of them roared like animals and charged toward Roger's team. Some cried in Japanese as if they were in pain.

Rolf punched a woman before getting close to him. "They are victims affected by Cthulhu's contagious madness! Don't kill them!"

Katina rolled her eyes. "Well, that won't be fun."

Roger wasn't sure if he could knock them out without killing them. He could literally crush a rock with his bare hands.

Suddenly, a little boy bit his leg, and Roger kicked the mad kid off. He hissed in pain, but he was still ready to fight. The Cerberus women slapped each mad person down, and a sushi chef landed on their back, stabbing them with knives. They screamed and tossed the chef into a nearby dumpster.

Adult karate students in white robes surrounded Rolf, and with a grin, he took a fighting stance and wiggled his finger for the students to attack first. The mad karate students charged, screaming as if they were in a kung-fu movie. Rolf knocked each student down with his speed and werewolf strength. He could take down any normal human, even if they were crazy.

After the fight, all the unconscious bodies lay on the street. Roger wiped the sweat off his forehead, relieved that they hadn't killed anyone. Rolf approached the restaurant to see why the mad people were trying to get inside.

He peered through the glass and saw something that made his blood run cold. There was a man with tentacles coming out of his back, using them to control the minds of the people inside. The man turned to Rolf and smiled.

Rolf snarled, baring his teeth. "Son of a bitch."

Roger and the Cerberus women approached Rolf, ready to fight.

"What's that?" Roger asked.

"That man with the tentacles is controlling these people," Rolf replied, his eyes fixed on the man. "We have to take him out."

The creature laughed.

Rolf charged at the man through the door, and the others followed. The man used his tentacles to fling the team around, but they kept getting back up, determined to stop him.

Roger felt a surge of power within him, and he knew what he had to do. With all his strength, he charged at the man and grabbed his tentacles. The man screamed in pain as Roger ripped the tentacles from his back.

Rolf slammed the man to the floor, crushing the creature's skull.

"Well, that took care of that," Rolf said, breathing heavily. "The people should be normal when they wake up."

"What the hell was that?" Katina shouted.

Rolf wiped the blood off his gloves. "The poor fellow has a parasite inside his back. It turns the host into a creature that spreads madness around its victims. There might be more, but they don't affect people with stronger minds. Good thing we're not human."

Roger doubted that. He's still human with super strength.

"It seems you know too much about these things," said Labda.

Rolf shrugged. "I did a lot of research over the years. Now let's find Cthulhu before he leaves the city."

Roger and the Cerberus women followed Agent Rolf out.
