Among Us: Origin Story
Chapter 57: The Spooky Story of the Crewmate

Red and Brown arrive at the cafeteria. Upon arrival in the room, Brown pressed the emergency meeting button to gather them all together.

The Crewmates gathered and noticed Brown who had pressed the button.

"Why?" Ask Black.

"I want to ask, who turned on the light?" Ask Brown.

"Me, why?" Lime asked back.

"Now there's one more thing I want to ask you, did you feel anything strange during the lights out?" Brown asked again.

"You mean to turn off the lights this time for a long time? I'm pretty sure we all feel it, too" Blue said.

"No, it's not that. Something else, like something's bothering you" Brown said.

"If it is, it seems like I have," Yellow replied. They all looked at him.

"Tell me!" Black's orders.

"When the lights go off, I'm outside about to go to storage. But somehow it feels like the distance of storage and communication becomes far. I've been walking for a few minutes, but I didn't even arrive at the storage. Another weirdness was also when suddenly Rugel barked. He was barking beside me. I don't know what's bothering him. But at that time the lights were on and I was surprised because I was already standing next to the storage. There were my footprints behind which meant that I was going around in circles" Yellow explained.

"Well, it's like there's something covering your eyes" Pink commented.

"Yes, I think so too. Strangely enough, I saw another footprint beside me. But it's not mine because it's bigger than mine. Near the footprints were drops of blood, but we were both unharmed. The owner of the footprints was like following us around and it seemed like he was also the one who made Rugel bark," Yellow said with a thought.

"Now I'm goosebumps," Blue commented as she hugged herself.

"What about the others?" Ask Brown.

"Me too" said Black. The Crewmate instead looked towards him.

"I was shooting at an asteroid in a weapon. When I was busy, I felt like someone was standing behind me and watching. I didn't know what it was because when I looked up, it was only darkness I saw. But at that moment I felt that the one standing behind me was huge" Black explained.

"Why can you think like that?" Ask Lime.

"Because I've met a lot of people and I know what it's like to be around people who are different height from me. At that moment I felt a very strong pressure and it really made me unsettled" Black replied.

"Okay, so now we have two things. Great footprints and something big. Is there any more?" Brown still wants to pry again.

"I don't have anything that big, but mine it's also pretty weird" Blue said.

"When the lights went out, I was in O2. More precisely in the room that there was that tree. Due to the lights off, I was shocked and accidentally touched my tablet screen so I re-downloaded it from scratch again.''

"I know exactly that it feels like," Red commented followed by a nod of the head from Blue.

"When I was there for a long time, I smelled a burning smell. Though there is usually very fresh because there are lush trees. But it was really hot and the burning smell was bothering me."

"You hot? I was cold at the time" Red commented.

"Where were you at the time?" Ask Blue.

Red was about to tell her a story, but Brown held her back. He still wanted to prove his suspicions.

"Let's go, Red. Now is there more?"

"Me and this time it's also related to something big" Pink said.

"At that time, I was in O2 as well. But at the water filling. While filling the water, I heard the sound of people running towards the electrical through O2. At first I thought it must be one of you. But I realized that the sound of her footsteps was very loud, like BUM B. Even though we run, his voice is not that loud. I came out and saw a blood-shaped footprints on the floor. The size of the foot was huge."

"Sorry to cut your sentence, Pink. But if I'm honest with you, I'm at O2 until the lights come on and I don't see you outside. Even then I shone my flashlight outside and there was neither you nor the sound of those big footsteps" Blue said.

"I haven't said this either. When I came out, I checked the rooms in O2 one by one and I didn't find you" Pink replied.

"It looks like you guys also experienced the natural Yellow one. It's like something's blocking your view so you don't see each other" Lime said.

"Well, how about yourself, Lime? I'm pretty sure the circuit's not broken" Black said.

"The circuit is not broken, but something is bothering me" Lime replied as she took off her hat and rubbed her hair.

"I was in security at the time. Then the lights went off and I decided to go to her circuit place because I was the closest. But when I unscrewed the circuit, I saw all the buttons moving on their own, like someone was playing them."

"It looks like this one is more sinister" Blue commented.

"Don't cut people's sentences, Blue," Black scolded.

"I held two buttons, but it was useless. They are constantly on the move and are even stronger than my detention. When I was getting tired of it all, a hand suddenly appeared that played one of the buttons. I hit that hand so he stopped playing it. But when I look around me, there is no one around me. That was after I hit that hand."

"Why, this is both scary and funny. Do you remember those hand traits?" Ask Black.

"I remember. He was wearing a green shirt and his sleeves were green. She also had very long nails and her hands were wrinkled, "lime replied.

Red surprised. He knew who it was, but he also started to think about his meeting with the man. What if he stays? Or what if he takes the guy to the lab? But how could he be like that?

So many questions filled Red's head. Brown knew what Red was thinking and he had a new guess.

"You're Brown yourself, how is it? I'm so sure you're going through the same thing with us that we're all here, '" Black said.

"I saw the scan was scanning but there was no one on it" Brown replied.

"Is there a result?" Ask Lime.

"Yes and I guarantee you'll be surprised" Brown replied, taking out the tablet. Inside the tablet was an anatomical body they had never seen before.

"The ribs are long" Blue commented.

"What are the teeth in his body?" Ask Pink.

"Somehow this reminds me of Impostor" Yellow said.

"Is this an Impostor? But what kind of Impostor scans it but it doesn't exist?" Ask Lime.

"It looks like it's really an Impostor. But as for abilities, I don't know either" Black said as he rubbed his chin.

"Wait, we've all told you the strangeness we've been through. Means now it's Red who hasn't," Blue said.

"Red, you tell me everything you've been through. Starting from your arrival to the room specimen," Brown's pinta.

Red nodded then told me everything. Starting from the moment he saw one person in the specimen room through the admin table, until when he saw a green-eyed figure before the decontamination door closed.

They were all shocked and started to feel tense. Especially Lime who instantly realized something. But the faces of some of the Crewmates changed when Red called Paciente 0.

"Red, don't you think what you saw was just your imagination?" Black did not believe it.

"I thought so at first. But I've touched her hand, it's cold but it's very real" Red replied.

"I'm starting to think that the green-eyed thing that's bothering us is Paciente 0" Blue said.

"Paciente 0 is not a name" Brown replied, showing a photo previously shown on Red.

"Red said this was the guy's face" Brown said.

The Crewmates approached and at once they were shocked. With the exception of Blue and Red who are just confused.

"Why do you look surprised? Do you know him?" Ask Red.

"Of course we know him and you two should know who he is, too" Yellow replied.

"Come on, just say it. I don't like pleasantries, "force Blue.

"That person is Professor Zero," Black replied.

"While Paciente is the code for patients in Mira HQ. Usually after Paciente is the name of the patient" Brown said.

Red began to understand something, "Paciente 0.0 spelled in English means Zero. Paciente 0 is Professor Zero."

"Fuck, you're smart, too" Lime said.

"It's also quite surprising because it turns out that Professor Zero is Paciente. But it's not yet known what made him Paciente" Brown said.

"It seems to have something to do with the hand I hit," Lime replied.

"And also on the creature that was with Black, Yellow and whose footsteps were heard by Pink," continued Blue.

"But how does he do it while he's alone with Red?" Ask Yellow.

"Nor the scan," Pink continued.

"When I imagined what if Red stayed with that guy. But it doesn't seem like he wants this to happen either" Lime said.

"You mean he's infected like Cyan and Orange?" Ask Blue to make sure.

"Surely, he told Red to leave which meant he knew that he would soon turn into that creature. Which means he cares about Red's safety" Yellow replied.

"But, how did he show up at Lime's place? Is he behind me?" Ask Red.

The Crewmates were busy discussing, except for Black who kept quiet. They didn't realize he wasn't talking from earlier.

Black was silent because he actually knew what had happened to Professor Zero. But he didn't expect it to be this bad.
