CHAP 17: The Heist

I shot at the woman, but she dodged and ran at Hacker with her light sword ready to slash him, but he jumped at his drones and flew away, when she saw me with the Collector, she seemed to have gone berserk, i shot at her, but she was unnaturally fast, and managed to dodge most of the bullets, but i managed to hit her leg, not that it managed to stop her, she almost slashed me but i managed to narrowly dodge, the slash did cut my arm an bit, but nothing an patch-up couldn't help, Cutthroat was enraged by this and ran at her, but she managed to dodge the knife of the white-haired woman.

[Can you capture that executioner? I need to analyze something]

'How am i supposed to do that?'

|An temporary skill has been given

{Mine now} acquired|

'Use it'

|Captured

{Mine now} has expired|

[Thanks, have fun explaining that]

"Where did that whore go?"

Cutthroat was mad she didn't get to kill her.

"No idea. Maybe she was sent back to their base."

Hacker theorized.

"It doesn't matter, atleast she has been dealt with."

Doctor said.

"Yeah, can you go patch up Brawler? we still need him."

"No problem."

She rapidly sutured the wound on the big man's stomach, with my {Medical Knowledge} i perceived she closed it in a way that the stitches would open, and he would probably die by internal haemorrhaging in some hours. It seems the Doctor plans to betray us, interesting, if she hurts my plans in any way, i'll make sure to get rid of her.

With Brawler up and running once again, we proceeded through the train with mostly no problems, just the fact that the doors seemed to be getting harder and harder to hack, with time running out before we entered the Absolute Quarantine Zone, i was planning an way to survive the Decontamination Zone with Olivia, it seems i have grew attached to that girl, which is strange considering my past relations with others, something to think about later.

Hacker got past the 2nd door and we found ourselves in an wagon designed to seemingly carry people, which is strange considering the very nature of "Kanto", why would Umbrella let their guinea pigs out of the testing grounds? Probably an last measure in hope of containing rebellions or an containment breach. Hacker started murmuring something about going to Kanto, an place where he would not be bored. Nothing of interest happened and the 3rd door opened, and we found ourselves once again in an passenger wagon.

When the door opened, i felt my instincts flare up and dodged an light sword which penetrated the wall, i rapidly turned around and supress fired, not really hoping to hit anyone, but the scream of pain proved i hit someone, an male by the tone of voice. They've sent more executioners, which means Umbrella is probably aware of what we're doing and trying to stop us from reaching the vault, i wonder what's inside?

"Cutthroat, can you lend me one of your knifes?"

"If it's you, i guess."

She gave me an stilleto, and we hid behind one of the seats, the other Akudama were distant and separated from me and the white-haired woman, Courier used his bike's laser beam to cut off the wagon, but two of the executioners managed to get inside, an blond-haired woman and an older looking man, Doctor threw one of her chemicals, which released an rapidly solidificating gas which closed up the wagon. I shot at the man and ran at the woman with the knife, the man didn't expect the velocity of the bullet and got hit right at the shoulder, and the woman was just slow enough i managed to immobilize her and hold the knife right to her neck.

"One wrong move and your partner dies."

The woman was without her light sword, which means she was the one who threw it at me, she tried struggling to no avail, only making the knife draw an bit of blood from her, which made the guy nervous. Feelings and their liabilities, an classic. I'm inclined to kill this female and finalize the guy, but i need an executioner for my plan to work. Time to test something.

'{Hormonal Control}'

Thankfully the medical knowledge includes hormones, which gave me an idea of where to start. I modified oxytocin in a way that minimized the maternal feelings and amplified the feelings of bond, trust and so-called "love", i made her look me in the eyes and released an amount of dopamine and serotonin, just enough to make it seem natural, i released pheromones to make me seem more attractive as well, like androstenol and others, it seems this ability gives an intuitive know of how exactly hormones work, which means i can use other species pheromones as an base to make an "love" pheromone, so that, combined with the hormones i released on her bloodstream, made her think it was love at first sight. I don't exactly like the idea of mind control, but the situation calls for it, if you think about it, i've made her just an little bit more susceptible, the feelings were already there somewhere. Her pupils dilated, and she got an rosy hue in her cheeks, the man seemed frustrated seeing her reaction. I whispered something to her, and shot the man.

|+100 EXP

Level 4 acquired|

I destroyed the wall, and the woman jumped out. Internal agent acquired.

"What the hell just happened?"

Doctor asked.

"An proof of charisma."

"I would've killed her."

"Don't worry, she's an surprise tool to help us later."

I winked at her.

Hacker opened the door and an mechanical claw flew out of the hall, grabbed Brawler and threw him at the wall, at that same moment the whole train started shaking and i almost lost my ground, while the others hit the walls or falled.
