Neurolink System in the Modern World

"I.. Will.. Pay.. You.. For.. The damage ..Please stop!"

His sobs grew louder, his voice strained as he endured the relentless onslaught of my beating. Blood trickled from his broken nose, mixing with the broken teeth scattered on the ground.

The pain radiating from his battered face was excruciating, making him feel as though every inch of his face was on fire.

"Stop? Why should I?" I asked with a cold, merciless voice before delivering another brutal slap.

This time, he convulsed in sheer agony.

The force of the slap left his head spinning, and his entire body was wracked with torment. The anguish was evident in the air as he struggled to breathe, his vision blurry and distorted.

"Oh, maybe I should give him a break," I muttered to myself as I checked his condition. It was obvious that this guy might not survive if I continued to pummel him.

I just realized how fragile human lives are. Just a few punches, and he's already on the verge of death.

Seeing this, I decided to stop . I disconnected my link with the old couple after instructing them to carry him back to the camp. Now I only had one target to hunt.

***

"Dong Hyun, where are you?" The pink-haired girl called out for her boyfriend, her voice trembling with fear. He had left her to save his ass when the crows attacked, and now she was alone in the dark woods, surrounded by wounds and fear.

What a pathetic couple. It was clear that her boyfriend wasn't committed to the relationship, but I couldn't entirely blame him. Given her appearance, she should consider herself fortunate to have a boyfriend at all.

"Idiot, why did you leave me in this place," she curse out loud .

I wanted to make it quick, even walk her to the camp to save time. However, It wouldn't be fair to her other friends, and I was well-known for being impartial and just. I couldn't allow this incident to tarnish my good reputation of being unbias, after all.

Using my crows to punish her would be too boring. As I contemplated the best way to punish her without resorting to murder, an idea sprang to mind.

I recalled the experiment I had planned to conduct later. This girl would serve as the perfect subject for my test. The sinister thoughts danced through my mind, painting a darker picture of my intentions.

CREAK!

"Dong Hyun? "She swiftly turned around, her face etched with fear and uncertainty, after hearing the crunch of dry leaves under my footstep.

She quickly flashed the light on my face, revealing my features, and to my surprise, her expression transformed from fear to one of happiness.

"Sir, please help me!" She exclaimed. She must have assumed that I couldn't possibly be the killer hunting them down because of my appearance. It was a typical reaction from women, and it explained why many serial killers could evade prison for so long.

'Don't they know that a handsome man in the woods spelled serial killer all over the place?' I mused to myself.

"Miss, why are you on fire?"

[Suggestion : Success]

"Fire?" she asked with a confused expression.

But before she could process my question, she began to squirm and roll on the ground, convinced that she was on fire.

"AHHH! I'm burning, please help me, I'm burning!" she cried out in distress.

Panic filled her wide eyes as she frantically slapped her clothes, patting her body as if to extinguish the imaginary flames.

Her movements were erratic, and her breaths came in short, shallow gasps. She looked like a person driven to madness by the illusion of flame, her body contorting in bizarre and desperate ways.

Watching her make a fool of herself brought a giggle from me. Her reaction was just too funny . I wanted to experiment further, but I was concerned that she might die too quickly.

So I stopped before she succumb to a heart attack.

She suddenly stopped squirming on the ground, but her breaths were still ragged, and her clothes clung to her body, soaked in sweat as if she had just taken a swim in a pool. The ordeal had clearly taken a significant toll on her, both mentally and physically.

The power of my suggestion was already quite strong, in my opinion. Seeing that just a simple question had such a huge impact on her, I was satisfied. I considered this her payment for the interest on the damage they had caused to my car.

Of course, it was not enough to absolve her of her crimes.

I sat down on the ground beside her, my voice taking on a mocking tone as I asked, "Hey, are you still alive?"

Her silence was expected, and I couldn't help but smirk at her disoriented state. It was a cruel form of amusement for me, watching her struggle with her own delusions.

"Do your best to stand up and follow me ," I commanded.

[Suggestion: Success ]

She didn't respond immediately, but after a few moments, she slowly struggled to her feet, her legs shaky from the ordeal she'd just experienced.

With a wavering determination, she tried to balance her footing but stumbled, her legs failing her. She fell to the ground again, gasping for breath as exhaustion overcame her.

"What a weakling," I shook my head in disappointment.

"Follow me!" I commanded again, this time giving a more generalized instruction.

Instead of trying to stand up, she started crawling on the ground to obey my command.

"Well, at least you're resourceful," I chuckled aloud as I observed the amusing scene unfolding before me.

Looking at her, I knew that my actions were inhumane. Yet, claiming that I was in the wrong here was unacceptable. I didn't even know these people, and yet they had done something really bad that led them to this situation .

The world was unfair, and what was happening to them was, in essence, karma.

Perhaps in the future, I might also find myself in the hands of karma. However, by that point, I would be so strong that even karma itself would scurry away after encountering me.

"Hey , crawl faster!"
