The cramped space was surrounded by sculpted walls, dimly lit.
A bloodcurdling shriek suddenly rang out.
Then came a piercing whistle through the air.
The Xenomorph lashed out with its abnormally long, razor-sharp tail again.
"Soru!"
Bruno, his mind intensely focused, instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished from where he stood, narrowly dodging the attack.
