Annihilation: The Prologue (2)

''Speak''

'Thought'

____________________________________________

Teleporting back to the castle while holding the plastic can of blood with my Rashomon, I was greeted with the sight of the wooden door that seemingly had been fixed while I was gone.

Now that I think about it, what would Mary do, considering that I did technically blow my cover and cause quite a problem back there. She would probably don't care about it. After all, I only killed ten people, and I can teleport away, leaving no trace.

While I doubt that no one sees me, I at least conceal my face after the act, and I did use my teleportation power, so I doubt any of them would have a way to trace me back here, and all I have to do is avoid going into town, which I have no reason to right now.

But how would I explain to Mary why did I blew my cover?

If I tell her that the personification of death was trying to manipulate me into making a deal with her while also getting teleported to a different dimension from her and them being saved by the personification of nothingness itself?

There is no way in hell she would believe, but then again, all of that sound so absurd that it might come full circle, like the thing that happened to me sound so absurd that there is no way I would lie about it.

It sounds so absurd that it comes back to the point where it becomes believable.

Gripping on the door handle, I opened the door and quietly entered the castle, and I slowly made my way toward... where should I be going?

She didn't tell me which room should I go to after I do the job, so where should I go? Well... I should make my way toward the operating room that she used to heal me.

I quietly make my way toward the operating, while my Rashomon is still holding to the can of blood. Now that I think about it, I can use my Rashomon and teleport to Mary.

Let not do that. I might freak her out, and if she is doing something important right now, teleporting to her might cause her to get surprised and cause her to mess up the experiment that she is doing right.

Finally, after quite a while, I arrive at the room that Mary reattaches my arms; I can also hear the sound of footsteps inside the room and maybe the sound of flesh being cut apart in there too.

Knocking on the door, Mary's voice answered from the inside.

"Come in."

Before entering the room, I quickly open the door, closing the door behind me. Looking inside of the room, I can still see Bram... Coffin? Bed? Coffin bed inside the room.

But what caught my eyes the most was what lay on the operating table.

A body of a human? No.

Animal? No.

It seems to be a combination of animal and human hybrid, so I thought because that thing looks weird.

This thing has the head of what appears to be a deer head with massive antlers on its head, and its eyes seem to be close. And when I said eyes, I mean several pairs of eyes, like three pairs of eyes on its head that seem to be all close.

On top of its head, I can also see the brain of this thing seemingly attached to its head, and I can also see these small tubes that seem to connect to a machine on the table next to it.

On its mouth, I can see that teeth are hanging out from its mouth, and it looks to be teeth that don't belong to a deer, considering how sharp looking the teeth is.

Going down to its neck, I can see that the head is being stitched together, and there is still some blood coming out from the place where the stitch is.

It has a human body that looks pretty fitted and muscular, but that is the only the most ordinary human part I see because all along its body seem to be burn and bite scars. The stomach of it also appears to open vertically.

Since the stomach is open, I can see the inside of the stomach, and I can see all of its organs inside, not to mention all of its bones that I can see. But what surprised me the most was the number of organs inside this thing.

I might be only thirteen years old, but I had read some biology books, and I had cut many humans apart to the point where their organs fall, so I do know what kind of organs are inside the body. Two hearts, four lungs, these seem to be what stands out the most, not to mention all kinds of other organs that I have never seen before; the inside of this thing seems to be a mixed bag of organs.

The thing seemed to have a right arm that appears to belong to a... tentacle? And that tentacle is massive, and I might add, probably big enough to wrap it around my body or even its own body. Next is the left arm that seems to be a very long skinny hand with massive claws that are pretty long themselves. The legs themselves seem to look like they belong to a horse.

I can see that Mary is sitting down, writing about something on her desk before turning toward me.

"Oh, it's you; I thought you would come back at night time, but look like I was wrong." She said before looking at the can of blood, "Not bad, kid, that is quite a heavy amount of blood that you have there. Put it next to the table, why don't you? Also, did you get caught?"

"No, I did not, someone did see me, but I cover my face, not to mention, there is no way for them to track me back here."

"Oh? How are you so sure?"

"Trust me, I know."

"That doesn't seem very reassuring at all."

"As I said, I have no way to prove it to you, so just trust me." I said, looking straight at Mary's eyes, causing her to sigh.

"Just put the damn thing down, why don't you?"

I quietly nodded before my Rashomon put the can down next to the operating table before going back inside my cloth.

"What are you doing with that... thing?"

"What am I doing? Did you forget who I am? I am a doctor and also a scientist. What I am about to do is about to change your whole worldview."

Change my worldview? There is no way you can do anything to top what I see today.

"So, what are you doing really?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm about to make my own Frankenstein monster~."
