Ch.68 Dojutsu...

The others showed an odd expression after Kris asked that question. While Zhu Wen was rather indifferent at the situation.

Making everyone realize that this is not the first time people were skeptical about her abilities, as if she didn't care for how others think. She sipped a cup of tea that the professional looking lady prepared before they started the conversation, she gave off a gentle feeling that was so soothing.

After sipping the tea she faced towards Kris eyes still closed, and smiled. "No, I was hit by a car when I was a child. My optic nerves mutated so I can see an air of death that surrounds people who are about to die, or you can think of it as a sixth sense."

"I heard there are others with such optic nerves mutation, and the numbers were quite a few." she added.

"Hmm, so its more like a dojutsu than an esper ability." said Kris while scratching his chin.

Everyone looked at him in confusion not understanding what he just said.

"Oh! a Dojutsu is an Eye ability that certain bloodlines possess, their range of abilities differ from farsight to x-ray vision. There is a wide variety of effects that hearing her say, she could see an air of death around someone doesn't surprise me."

"That is a useful ability to have in this movie, do you mind using your abilities on us right now? Try to see what's unusual about us, and describe it to me."

Zhu Wen was hesitant to do so, due to the stigma that she earned from other people because of this eyes, and still left a few scars on her psyche.

But she agreed to Kris's request in the end, she didn't want to give him a reason to think she's useless and leave her behind.

She was shocked and bewildered as she looked over everyone. Then she carefully looked around the room. After quite a while, she closed her eyes and sighed.

"It's dark. The surrounding is extremely dark, like we are standing inside a smoke filled area that arose from the burning of corpses."

"We are going to die at any moment. Everyone is facing the same danger, like next second is the end of our lives. This is the first time I've seen something like this."

'I predicted as much, its just that I didn't think it would be this dense and unlike the Ju-on from the grudge I can't even feel it around me.'

'I have to do something about that, my instincts are not as primal as Zheng's where he could sleightly feel death's approach. This movie will be very challenging, I should have gotten the spiderman mutation.'

'But a B rank mutation is useless to me right now, Heck everything higher than C rank is useless to me. Only being able to use 20-30% of its original potential is such a waste.'

'If only I didn't end up making my self a Technical Type of genetic unlocker. I never thought that using the Focused State Of Mind, in tandem with NTZ-48 would have such a draw back.'

'I pictured myself as an aesthetic monk, Jedi code, and all that shyte turned out. I was better off with a Sith mind set, if I wanted to evolve faster. Its ironic that while I tried to master my mind before hand it went on, and created a logic error.'

'I'm too composed, and logical for certain amount of fear and pressure to allow my body to evolve like Zheng does. I need something more than that now.'

'No wonder Master Oogway always emphasized Body-Mind-Spirit in that order. Well, I was never to conform with the meta.' Kris sighed

When Kris went silent for a moment, everyone felt the tension in the air thicken but then Kris snapped out of his little trance saying, "Let's eat some branch first, given the time its too late for breakfast yet too early for lunch."

"If I could remember correctly, the protagonist in the movie along with the survivors got out of the poloce station somewhere before lunch."

"We still have time since death will follow the sequence. Kimberly the one that had the vision was the last to die in the pile up, just after her friends. But she was skipped, and her friends died instead."

"So going by that sequence, the lottery winner should be next, then the kid, us and after that the mother. The rest is the same as the movie. We were inserted between the mother and her son so, until the son dies we don't have to worry too much about death acting."

Just in time when his finished, a knock on the door was heard, room service came with their food. Everyone ate and rested around the room, while mingling with the other players.

Kris's smartphone then rings when he answered it was Kimberly calling about a meeting, and how death is coming after them in an order. She tells him that the lottery guy already died, and also the kid got minced by a pane of glass.

They set the meeting in an hour, which was just in time for lunch. They were meeting at the policeman's apartment, so she gave Kris the address.

When Kris got off the phone, he looked at the players and said "I guess we got ourselves a lunch date, WangXia call room service. Ask if they could get us a rental van within an hour. The price doesn't matter, as long as its big enough for us, and they could get it fast for us."

WangXia did as Kris asked, and handed out some talismans that he ask Tengyi to copy from the monks scripture they got from the grudge.

"These are protection talismans, if its warm that means danger is near, when it starts emitting smoke or burning danger has targeted you; so youneed to haul ass, and get to safety right away."

"I only have enough for one each so when it burns up totally you will have to be more vigilant by then."

"They already have a van in the parking lot, good thing they also have a car rental business just by the next street." reported WangXia, Kris gave him a nod and handed him a talisman also.

They went down, and went towards the van WangXia got them it was a 12 seater van, colored white and seems brand new.

WangXia was on the driver seat while Kris sat at front. Before they all boarded, Kris handed Zhu Wen a jade pendant saying, "Keep that with you at all times if you want to leave this movie alive."

Kris didn't explain further but muttered "Why does she look so much like Hinata-chan."
