Man-Eating Flower

Project Number: IC-994 (also known as: Man-Eating Flower)

Project Class: Black Lion (Extremely aggressive, displaying an intense destructive and devouring urge toward organic lifeforms)

Special Containment Procedures:

IC-994 is contained in a 10x10x10 m cubic room. The walls are made of regenerated rubber (T-05 series), and the room temperature is maintained at 27±0.5℃. Under no circumstances may any light source of any wavelength appear inside the room. In addition, the food supplied to IC-994 each day must contain no more than 500 calories.

An energy-diffusion device must be used to conduct at least ten energy checks on IC-994 every day. Once its energy increases by more than 10%, at least one Red-clothed Administrator must lead the team in forcibly controlling IC-994 until its energy falls back below the low-level threshold.

Description:

IC-994 is a human male ghost (identified through its organs), standing 178 centimeters tall and weighing 58 kilograms (when its energy is low). It possesses a human body and limbs but lacks a head and brain tissue. Above the neck is a complex Rafflesia structure with a diameter of 0.5 meters, and each of its five petals is 1.7 centimeters thick.

It has been confirmed that its central nervous system contains no language system, making normal verbal communication impossible.

IC-994's humanoid structure is actually an imitation of existence. Its various organs are merely tissue formed from cells containing relatively large vacuoles and are not important. Vascular bundles serve as blood vessels to transport the nutrients required for bodily movement. Its skeleton is replaced by hardened xylem.

Its entire body can carry out ultra-efficient "photosynthesis," while its digestive system converts energy at thirteen times the efficiency of an ordinary human's. Once exposed to light or high-energy nutrients, IC-994 will grow without limit, making it extremely dangerous.

IC-994 is a "Disaster-class"
