Neurolink System in the Modern World

*Ding!

The elevator slowly opened, and Rei Mei shifted her posture, assuming a battle stance as if ready to unleash her abilities at any moment.

And her logic was sound. We had entered an elevator casually with CCTV, so she must have assumed that they already knew an intruder had entered their base to cause trouble.

*Ding!

As the elevator slid open again, she flinched, perhaps having second thoughts about killing a bunch of innocent people.

"Don't move so we don't hurt you!" she screamed in warning, thinking that the enemy was already waiting to ambush us.

However —

"Eh?" she mused aloud after seeing that everyone in the facility just gave her a double-take and then ignored her altogether.

"Are we invisible, Oppa?" she asked with a doubtful voice.

"I don't know, maybe they're not so bad after all?"I teased, suppressing a laugh as she continued to look around with a mix of confusion and disbelief.

"Let's ask them," I walked out of the elevator and approached the guards.

"Hey, our friend is here, and we wanted to see her," I said with a casual tone, trying to keep more natural.

"Oppa ! What are you doing, this is not a campus ," Rei Mei told me off , and expected that they would be alerted , and I would resort to my abilities to neutralized them.

The guards, however, just chuckled, seemingly unfazed by the intrusion.

One of them gestured toward a corridor, saying, "Alice is that way, just follow the signs. You'll find her."

Rei Mei's eyes widened in disbelief, and she whispered to me, "Are we in some kind of alternate reality or what?"

I smirked and replied, "Maybe they're just really bad at their jobs."

She looked at me with doubtful looks, but I just ignored her and keep walking.

The scanner lights flickered, and I simply walked through without any hindrance.

I chuckled, realizing that these security measures were practically useless against me now.

***

As we walked through the facility, it seemed like a regular day for everyone. People went about their tasks, and our presence didn't raise any eyebrows. It was as if we seamlessly blended into the routine of the place, and the loyalty control I had established kept things moving smoothly.

"What did you do, Oppa?" Rei Mei started bothering me.

"Oh, I own this place," I teased her.

"What? Since when?" She exclaimed in shock.

"Since we got here," I chuckled at her expression.

"Wait… How?" she started asking so many questions that I remembered again that she was the most talkative among the three.

"Stop asking too much stupid questions," I sighed. Talking to her was exhausting.

She pouted her cheeks , but at least she did stop talking, so that was a win for me.

After walking for a couple of minutes, we spotted Kanon standing by on another elevator .

"Darling," She greeted me with a smile .

Rei Mei as expected shot daggers with her eyes at her, but I shot her a look that said, "Behave." Dealing with jealousy was always an energy-draining affair.

She reluctantly lowered her head, realizing that I was keeping her in check.

Kanon followed us through the elevator , and then walk with us until we reached an area similar to a high end hospital room.

"Sister Alice!" Rei Mei hurriedly rushed to her bedside. I could see from her face that she was genuinely concerned about Alice's well-being. These two must be really close.

I gave her some time to process her emotions, watching from the sidelines as she touched Alice's hands.

Commanding my puppets to bring Alice here turned out to be a good decision; otherwise, Rei Mei might have had a mental breakdown seeing Alice's previous living condition.

Being tied up like that was not something humans should experience, except if they angered me. Once I'm angry, anyone automatically lose their human rights by default.

'I must admit that she's really pretty,' I thought to myself.

Seeing Alice right now, made me appreciate her beauty again. It wasn't because I had feelings for her; it was just my urges kicking in.

"Oppa, why is she not waking up?" Rei Mei turned towards me and asked .

My face turned serious as Rei Mei's question made me realize that the mission might not be over. The absence of the system notification meant Alice was still not safe, despite my efforts.

I connected to one of my puppets, who was a doctor in this place, to figure out what was happening, and I got the gist of it.

She was now in a coma because her two personalities mixed up. As a result, her body's natural defense mechanism had kicked in, putting her brain in a semi-death state .

As I engaged in conversations with the doctors who possessed knowledge about her current condition, a realization struck me. It became apparent that she might be trap within her own dream world .

I could access it and try to force awaken her, but my Mind Power was currently limited.

She needed to wait until I'm at full power before I could help her. What happened to me back then, in that Digital world, made me realize that some places are more dangerous than the physical world itself, so I won't go and blindly jump into another unknown risk.

Reassuring Rei Mei, I spoke up, "Don't worry, I will help her after 10 days."

It was a calculated estimate based on the time required for my Mind Power to fully recover.

"Thank you, Oppa," Rei Mei nodded appreciatively.

"No problem," I replied, acknowledging her gratitude.

Her usual energetic vibe seemed to have shifted to a more determined and serious demeanor, reflecting her deep concern for Alice.

"I'll leave you two here. I have something else to attend to," I said, taking my leave and gesturing for Kanon to come with me.

With numerous tasks still on my agenda, and considering my suppressed Mind Power, I needed to ensure that the next 10 days would pass by without any disturbances or unexpected emergencies.
