It was close
"Excuse me, we want to check the trunk. Open it for a moment." An officer asked.
"oh, sure, sure. Open it, Luna!" Mr. Heriss ordered Luna who had in control of the car. She opened the trunk as asked.
The police officer went around the car to check the trunk. After a few minutes, he went back to the font of the car and spoke out.
"Fine, You can go now."
The moment he said that she rushed the accelerator hard. It made the car run like an insane bull.
She said something like, "It was close…" But I didn't understand why she said it. Perhaps, she thought that we were about to get caught. On second thought I don't understand why there was so many police check post. However, there's a reason for it. I couldn't ask Mr. Heriss or others as I saw them in fear. No, More like they were enjoying it. Although Sweats were coming from their forehead. They may be quite tensed. The police check posts are placed for that woman who killed… Jessica… although it's my assumption. I averted myself to a corner of the car seat and said as quietly as possible so that Mr.Heriss and others couldn't hear me..
"Oi, I know you're there. Explain to me what happened earlier." I called out that annoying old man that I hate more than my life and wanted to curse him but didn't because of some weird motives.
*I don't feel like it. Call me some other time. You always call me whenever you need help or information regarding the system. You selfish Psychopath!* The old man was as sadistic as ever.
"Don't expect much. I don't like you at all. Because of your crazy experiment, I ended up with that dangerous system."
*Don't call it dangerous!* He resisted, "that system saved your ass earlier. Otherwise, you would be dead meat now."
"With that, I'm not talking to you anymore. Give me what I wanted or I'll ignore you for the rest of the day." I tried to get to the point.
*Don't! Don't please! I'm telling you.* He might have felt really lonely. Whatever that didn't make me pity him. He was just one of those monsters.
*When the system saw you unleash the abilities. It reacted accordingly and made the system proactive. In most cases, the system would be in standby mode. If you try to use your powers it would alter from standby to active mode. However, that will only happen when you try to do it. You remembered the first few days of the system. Right? That time it was automatically turned on and cause power infusion, making you suffer more than it should be.*
"So you're trying to say that I'll able to control the system gradually."
*Correct! Also, the holographic screen you saw in the battle was when the system entered into battle mode. I developed it specifically to use in battle. It would be quite bothersome to see the diary and fight at the same time. So, to fix it, you should be able to see your status and effect stuff on your eyes only when fighting.* He said as proudly as he could. He's really proud of his invention.
"And that power thing? The blood manipulation skill I used?"
*Open the diary! On page fifty-six you would find the description of each power skill.* Said the old man with a bit of irritation.
I took out the diary and opened it as instructed. The pen holding onto it was unused. I hardly remember when I used it.
[PAGE-56]
[The power skills]
[There are five power skills that each of them contains unique abilities. The power skills could unlock various abilities and skills. Specific power skill has specific abilities that the player could unlock by leveling up.
1. Blood Manipulation
2. Gravity Manipulation
3. Water Manipulation
4. Fire manipulation
5. Wind Manipulation
One can only possess one power skill. They would categorize as accordingly.]
"So, I have blood manipulation based on this info?" I asked curiously.
*hmm… Yes! But here's something top-secret info I'm telling you. The psychopaths are divided into two groups such as the ones with power and others without it. The power ones have those five power elements mostly although there're many other sub-power abilities that some of them have. But the strong ones are written in the diary. The system gave you the Blood manipulation skill based on you. It defers person to person.
With that you would be just like any other psychopaths. But what made the system expectational is when you level up, you would be able to change, add or subtract new power skills. For example, right now you have Blood manipulation. In the future, you might be able to add water manipulation or any other cool skills. Isn't it awesome?*
"So, in conclusion, I was able to use mighty power by add skills"
What I said was probably correct. The car was moving at a regular pace now.
"You want something to ask?" Mr. Heriss looked at me with astonishment. I was indeed staring at him for a while now.
"aaa…hmmm… It's that… did you know about Kurama? The woman who killed Jessica said about him having the same power as I." I added that.
All of them gazed at me at once and froze to their place as if I spell a demon's name.
"Kurama? The blood Dragon?" The first to speak was Luna. I didn't expect her to react at all.
"Hey! Focus on driving!" said Kelan in fury. She then again averted her sights from me to the steering wheel.
"Blood Dragon?" I uttered the same name once more.
"Yeah, The Blood Dragon. He's called by that name. He has the most powerful skill that one can possess. The blood manipulation. The blood that runs through his vein is not his blood but of a devil. He could easily demolish anyone that didn't side with him. That could be you also"
Hearing those serious extremely scary words made my body stiff.
"Right, you also have the same power as him, The Blood Manipulation' The skill that converts your blood into different objects and shapes. Truly a deadly skill." Said Mr.Heriss. He was going back to his mute state. Then again Kelan spoke out as if it made him a little interested.
"You see, Jodan, I also have a skill like that but it's not that powerful. It's called Water manipulation. I can easily manipulate any water source. It's really cool."
"don't spell his name loud again. He has a great way to hide his presence." Luna said in a slightly fearful way. It was as if she had experienced it herself. I didn't expect her to be conscious of me. That's unusual.
