Neurolink System in the Modern World

As I headed to Seoul University, I decided to take a lowkey approach by using Uber.

A sleek black car pulled up at the curb, and I got into the back seat, giving a nod to the driver. Choosing Uber allowed me to blend in with the busy city surroundings.

The city passed by as we drove through the lively streets of Seoul. I watched the people going about their everyday activities, completely unaware of my presence.

Inside the Building.

"Come in! Come in!" Dr. Hong greeted me with a warm smile the moment he noticed me approaching his desk.

"Did you manage to figure out what type of rock it is?" I inquired eagerly as I settled into my chair. I was anxious to uncover the origins of that stone as soon as possible.

"Where did you get this rock?" Dr. Hong asked curiously, holding the stone in his palm.

"Someone gave it to me," I replied firmly, but deep inside I felt that he discovered something important.

"Why do you want to know?" I raised an eyebrow, ready to dig deeper into his motives.

If he had stumbled on something dangerous, I needed to be informed, or I might have to take his life.

"Because this stone is not a Moon rock ." he answered.

"It's not a moon rock?"

"Well, this thing is definitely from the moon, but it's much rarer than a moon rock. I double-checked, and it contains elements that only exist on the moon," he added, emphasizing its unique and exceptional nature.

"And, to be honest, I had to hide the results because possessing this kind of stone is illegal," he explained.

"Illegal??"

"Don't worry, you won't be imprisoned for owning this, but it could be confiscated since this type of stone is considered a natural treasure," Dr. Hong reassured me, shedding some light on the potential consequences of possessing it.

"So what is it? "

Dr. Hong paused for a moment, then he stood up and closed the door before returning to his seat.

"This thing is called Luna Stone," he spoke in a hushed tone.

Seeing my confusion, he began to explain it in more detail.

"Luna Stone is a particular type of extra terrestrial stone that was discovered during the first moon mission," Dr. Hong explained.

"To give you a sense of its significance, if moon rocks are like common rocks on Earth, then Luna stones could be compared to diamonds. They only managed to find 3 pebble-sized pieces of it on the moon by sheer luck. That's why it's considered extremely rare," he added .

"How many of these things exist in Korea?" I inquired. For the time being, it was reassuring to learn that only 3 of these were extracted from the moon. It would be far more concerning if there were hundreds of them.

"In Korea? None. This thing should not even be in this country. Most of these stones are kept by NASA," Dr. Hong clarified.

'Then how did Mrs. Myeong Gia's husband get hold of this? It seemed highly unlikely that NASA would readily part with these stones, especially considering there were only 3 in Earth. ' I pondered to myself.

This left me with two possible explanations. Either NASA had lied about the total number of Luna Stones, or Mrs. Gia's husband had acquired it from another source that had access to these stones. Both scenarios were concerning, but at least I had a general idea of the situation.

"Does this stone have any special characteristics?" I inquired with another question. Dr. Hong was knowledgeable about this stones, and I wanted to get more information from him.

"It has, but these are more gossips than actual science," he responded, taking another sip of his coffee.

"I don't mind. Please tell me everything you know," I commanded.

[Suggestion: Failed] As expected, the suggestion failed, but I didn't mind, as I was just posing a question he would surely answer willingly.

"Alright, please keep in mind this is just a gossips, but according to some beliefs, wearing this stone is said to help with stress and depression," Dr. Hong explained.

"Did you feel anything different after touching it?" I asked. I was curious to know if the Luna stone had any tangible effect on him.

"Well, I can't really tell because I'm a very carefree person," Dr. Hong chuckled, suggesting that any potential effects of the Luna stone might not be easily noticeable for someone with his disposition.

'So, it helps with stress and depression? Maybe it's because of its ability to block mental interference?' It was a tentative conclusion, but the notion wasn't entirely impossible.

"Can you provide me with the data regarding its material make up?" I inquired, requesting the documents.

"Here are the data, along with my personal notes and findings," he responded, handing me a white folder. He then carefully placed the stone back in its container.

"Dr. Hong, I have another favor to ask," I mentioned, flipping through the files.

"What is it?"

"I want you to find out which among these elements and materials could affect the mind," I commanded.

[Suggestion: Success]

"Okay," he replied promptly. This time, my suggestion worked as intended, allowing me to streamline the process.

By controlling him to conduct research, it would save me a considerable amount of time. And with the stone in my possession, I no longer had to worry about not being able to control him to do my bidding.

"By the way, do you happen to have kept a Luna Stone for yourself, or do you also own one?" I inquired.

[Suggestion: Success]

"I have some dust fragments from the experiment," he replied.

"Give it to me, but don't touch it directly," I commanded.

Upon hearing my instructions, he opened his cabinet and retrieved a small glass tube containing the stone fragments. He was careful not to touch them directly, ensuring their safety.

Having gathered everything I needed, I began giving instructions, using words that sounded like ordinary requests.

My intention was to keep any interaction as ordinary as possible, in case he happened to touch a Luna stone. This way, even if he remembered our conversation, it would simply seem like I had hired him for a regular research job.

Having concluded my business with Dr. Hong, I exited the building and placed a call to someone.

"Hello, Evelyn. Tell your manager to meet me at this address around 7:00 PM,"
