After all, there was a fifty-fifty chance, given that the individual was so secretive to avoid revealing any information about themselves, including their gender.

“First…” I fell into contemplation, looking at the Shape-Shifter writhing on the floor, affected by the Libido Protocol I’d half-jokingly created. I hadn’t expected to subdue them alone; the plan was to hold out until Johann arrived, but it was uncertain if simply holding them would be enough. If I had dragged this out a little longer, it would have been right to safely and surely finish off someone strong enough to kill me, but Johann, the one who proposed this plan, had strictly forbidden killing them. Of course, the bounty could still be claimed even if they were killed, but it seemed Johann wanted to keep the Shape-Shifter alive.

“This is troublesome.” More precisely, it seemed he was curious about the source of high-tech equipment like this Optical Camouflage Cloak or Shape-Shift Mask. But come to think of it, if he got his hands on these, wouldn’t he just become Shape-Shifter Mk.2?

I clicked my tongue, then decided to set aside these complicated thoughts for now. I dragged the Shape-Shifter’s body and stashed it in the car I had arrived in. I reclined the car seat to make space and roughly laid them there. Then, I saw Martina returning, seemingly having freed Hawkins, who had been tied up.

“Good work, Martina.” I crouched down and stroked Martina’s soft cheeks, praising her. She looked down at me with a strangely smug expression.

“This is a natural outcome for this unit. However, additional malicious software needs to be injected before the protocol is neutralized by the security system’s recovery, so I will confirm the target individual.” “Uh, go inside and rest.”

I released her cheeks, which I really didn’t want to let go of. Martina walked with quick steps into the car, and the vehicle shook violently. Ignoring it, I looked at Hawkins, who seemed hesitant.

“Long time no see?” “Uh… yeah. That’s right.”

Seeing him standing awkwardly as if I were making him uncomfortable, I exhaled sharply through my nose and leaned against the car.

“I’ve dealt with all those idiot gangsters, so you can go home now. Ah, wait, were you kidnapped on your way to work? Your performance review is screwed, then.” “…”

Corporations with cold hearts have no interest in whether an employee is kidnapped or held hostage. They only care about timely attendance and meeting quotas. He’ll probably have to work like a dog for a while to get his performance review back on track. Wishing him peace for his future, I simply turned my back.

“You..! You… how did you end up as a mercenary? You just suddenly disappeared. And what’s with that appearance? What in the world is this…” “Hmm…”

Hawkins mumbled various questions, seemingly full of curiosity. Indeed, someone who had suddenly disappeared for months would usually be assumed to have been shot dead on the street or committed suicide, not become a monstrous mercenary. Especially with such a drastic change in appearance.

However, I had no reason to explain all this to an ordinary person like him. ‘I haven’t even told my own comrades about this…’

I raised my shotgun as a quick and simple solution. “Go while I’m letting you.” “Gasp!”

As the cold metal muzzle aimed at him, Hawkins trembled like an aspen leaf. When I tilted my chin, he immediately turned and ran away. It was probably better to cut ties from my civilian days like this.

I exhaled, then, once he was completely out of sight, I lowered the shotgun and, pulling my weary body, opened the door and entered.

*Twitch!* *Twitch!*

Martina had pulled a jack from her cyber-spine and connected it to the cervical spine of the Shape-Shifter, who was loosely laid on the seat, seemingly to increase upload speed via a physical link.

Martina’s snow-white face resembled milky white. Just looking at their faces, one might think they were mother and daughter, but from the neck down, below the chin, it was no normal human body.

A body whose dark, transparent interior was visible. Inside, instead of bones made of typical calcium, a metallic chrome skeleton replaced the framework, and the skin, which should have been muscle, felt like a silicone balloon filled with gel.

“What in the…” *Thump!* I poked their belly, and my finger strangely sank in before bouncing back elastically, feeling like jelly. Surprisingly, the exterior wasn’t sticky.

“I can’t even see any organs…” “It appears to be a modification where most of the body’s muscular system, nervous system, and internal organs, except for the brain, have been replaced with hydrogel to enhance responsiveness and induce resistance to penetration, cutting, and the like.”

“They can live after doing something like this…” While I’ve seen quite a few cyborgs who maintain their life by replacing organs with synthetic ones or mechanical devices, like those from Hellstream, I’ve truly never seen such an extreme form of modification. I hadn’t even known this was possible in the first place.

“It is confirmed that the ability to freely change body shape to some extent is also a characteristic of this type of body.” “Hmm…”

Indeed, seeing them transform into Hawkins, Luna, Yuki, and even giants like Blake and Bearhand, optical illusions alone wouldn’t be enough; some fluid shape-shifting would be necessary. Thinking it was somehow like a mythical doppelganger, I completely removed the Shape-Shifter’s mask and cloak. Even if they were broken, it would be troublesome if they somehow activated.

As I almost tore them off, the individual’s true body was revealed. A taut black slime body with a white face like a mask, and limbs equipped with easily detachable, high-tech weapons for repair.

“What in the world did you put in my control nerves… Eek?!” *Throb!* The Shape-Shifter’s waist, now completely disarmed, suddenly thrust upwards and throbbed grotesquely.

A vulgar writhing, shaking the pelvis that was clearly visible through the smooth skin, which evaporated any awe for the horrific strength they had shown during the fight, strength that had inspired even fear. Even though it was due to Martina directly linking and forcefully injecting the Libido Protocol at maximum speed, it was still quite a jarring sight.

“Hmm…” “Ghhhrk?! Hhhgh… By the terms of humanitarian hostage treatment, I demand the immediate removal of this malicious software… Oh!♥”

The Shape-Shifter’s true body had a considerably feminine appearance. While the visible internal skeleton could be described as grotesque, modifying specific localized areas to be transparent or semi-transparent was surprisingly in demand, so it might not be so strange if viewed as an extension of that. Even Mason had undergone modifications to expose his uterus by opening up the external skin.

Anyway, two voluptuous jelly masses larger than a head were attached, and as one’s gaze descended to the belly, soft curves and a plump-feeling pelvis were visible. Despite a body that seemed to have no need for physiological activity, a single fissure was located between the empty groin area.

As I silently gazed down at the body, which, apart from being alien, could be described as a sensual body overflowing with femininity, the Shape-Shifter brazenly demanded humane treatment from me once more. “I will dutifully report to the EPSB, so quickly…”

“You acted like a complete maniac towards us, but there was a promise, so for now, we’ll only subdue you. Of course, I don’t know if he plans to hand you over to the EPSB.” “Ugh!♥ When you say ‘he’…”

I moved to restrain them rather than rambling on and giving information. *Click! Click!* I lifted their legs, putting on handcuffs designed to restrain even those using military cyberware, to make it difficult for them to move. Then, I wrapped their arms around their hamstrings and bound their hands as well.

Thanks to this, the Shape-Shifter, with their transparent buttocks and vagina exposed, began to thrust vulgarly up and down in forced climax from the Libido Protocol, subtly combined with sex data by a super AI… Well… this was the best I could do.

“Whew… I never thought I’d get caught, but I expected to be cleanly killed, dismantled, and sold off to a research lab, you know?” “The one who expects such an end is the scary one, though?”

“At least I never imagined I’d be stripped and raped in such a ridiculous state by someone who doesn’t even know if I’m male or female. Hhhgh… Nghak!♥” “Damn it, where would you find anyone as gentlemanly as me for someone I was just fighting to the death with… I never had any intention of raping you in the first place?!”

I shouted, a hint of indignation in my voice. Of course, it’s true I shoved the Libido Protocol in to put them into forced arousal mode, but that was Martina’s unilateral decision, wasn’t it?! Besides, as I said, would I be crazy enough to upload the Libido Protocol just to try and ‘hit’ a Shape-Shifter whose gender I didn’t even know?! It was all just a coincidence!

To me, with my unjustly aggrieved expression, the Shape-Shifter said, “It’s not very convincing to use that as an excuse when it’s so stiffly raised.” “No… this is…”

Isn’t it unavoidable when fighting as intensely as we just did? When life and death hang in the balance, adrenaline surges, blood flows rapidly, and reproductive urges emerge from the threat of death – it’s an unavoidable physiological phenomenon.

As I awkwardly cleared my throat, the Shape-Shifter, as if having made some decision, arched their back like a shrimp on the reclined seat, pushing their pelvis upwards. In other words, they lifted their vagina even higher.

“I know best that I can’t resist in this state. Fuck me.” “What?”

The Shape-Shifter, with a composed face, occasionally flinched and turned their head. “Since our lives were the stakes, it’s only right for the victor to receive their due reward.”

A smooth, plump-looking semi-solid body. In accordance with the ideology of transhumanism, shedding the human species to appear alien, there was a vertical fissure, as if saying it was waiting.

I wondered if there was any point to internal organs not being visible, but as I slowly reached out and touched it, I felt a firm, jelly-like elasticity at my fingertips. When I swept my fingers across the two semi-solid mounds and spread them apart, the inside was filled with a sticky, viscous gel.

*Gulp!* I unconsciously swallowed at the subtly erotic sight. I couldn’t help but push my finger inside.

*Squelch—!* As I applied pressure, my finger instantly burrowed inside, parting the sticky gel and its movement visible through the transparent colloidal skin. Where an ordinary person would have mucous membranes, I felt the pressure of highly viscous gel, completely filling the space. And inside, I felt a tube-like object with a bumpy texture, only then realizing that organs weren’t absent within the Shape-Shifter; they were merely refracted by the gel and thus invisible.

*Squish!* *Squish!* *Squish!*

The Shape-Shifter, in a position ideal for penetration, thus sucked at my finger with their vagina, and as my finger moved back and forth, they seemed to be cumming, twisting their body and emitting strange moans from their mouth.

As I unconsciously explored the Shape-Shifter’s body for quite some time… “In return, I demand to be spared.” “…”

The Shape-Shifter, being penetrated by a finger in their vagina, brazenly demanded the right to survive. To think someone of Seven High’s caliber would offer their vagina and beg for their life. They seemed to have no interest in authority or prestige, but at this point, I couldn’t help but be impressed. Perhaps they were just affected by the Libido Protocol and couldn’t think straight.

“Alright. I’ll spare you.” “Come on, quickly penetrate me. Nghiiit!♥ Although this body wasn’t designed with sexual intercourse in mind, I don’t think it will be bad.”

The Shape-Shifter was so brazen that I couldn’t tell if they had something in mind or truly nothing at all, even though their specialized body, created for disguise and infiltration, was about to be deeply penetrated by a dick and receive semen.

Responding to the Shape-Shifter’s appeal for this unique body, I revealed my dick, which had been agonizingly hunched over, trapped in my pants.

*Clank!* *Splat!*

My dick, having escaped my pants, directly slapped the Shape-Shifter’s vagina with a *chap* sound. The cool sensation I felt upon brief contact somehow made it feel like I was preparing to insert it into an onahole or some medical device, not a human.

*Throb!*

In contrast, the Shape-Shifter, whose vagina had been hit by my dick, showed clear signs of confusion.

“Wait. That size is unexpected.” “Is that a compliment? You’re giving me a lot of lip service.”

I knelt on the seat, which I had made into a bed, and mounted the Shape-Shifter. Given the posture, it was a position of vertically pressing down on the restrained Shape-Shifter.

My rigidly erect dick slowly began to worm its way into the transparent mound made of semi-solid skin, as if being swallowed by a wet, cool sensation under the force of gravity.

“…I think it’s going to break.” “Does it cost a lot to repair if it breaks?”

*Nod nod.* The Shape-Shifter shook their head up and down.

“Don’t worry. It all fits.” “Wa-!” *Splat!*
