Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 287: Priority
As I soared above the prison walls, I couldn't help but notice the architectural wonder below.
It was an architectural wonder, but only in the sense that it achieved unparalleled levels of ugliness.
The building's design was so basic; it looked like someone forgot to unlock the "creative mode" in their Sims game.
It was as if they ran out of virtual money, resorting to building bare minimum walls, no paint, no frills—just the essentials in the most uninspired way possible.
Even the so-called barracks and offices were rocking the aesthetic charm of a cardboard box.
I touched down in the prison courtyard and noticed a couple of guards on duty. I casually hovered right beside them, and found it funny how oblivious these people were .
They were yapping away about kissing up to their generals and the supreme commander, as if that's the only way to live.
These people are so soaked in propaganda; I half expected them to start discussing a "Best Bootlicker of the Year" award.
"Ouch, why'd you hit me?" grumbled one of the guards, totally clueless that my prank was just a diversion to frame the soldier behind him.
"I did not hit you!" The innocent soldier protested, his face filled with genuine confusion.
The guard rubbed his head, shooting accusing glances at his comrade.
After a brief moment of playing with them, I resumed my sight seeing.
Inside , a hushed calm filled the air, marked by minimal activity.
The soldiers stationed here seemed to harbor the misconception that nobody would be foolish enough to infiltrate a prison located within the confines of a military base.
Their complacency was visible, an oversight that worked in my favor.
With my abilities aiding me, I continued to go over the cells.
As I passed them, I studied the faces of the prisoners. Each glance was an attempt to identify Min-hee's sister, searching for any hint of recognition.
Unfortunately, most of them were just old men.
I began to think that she might be in another building or, worse, dead already after being violated. It was not a far-off prediction considering how brutal humans could be.
If that was the case, the last thing I could do was to find out the truth and maybe bring her corpse with me.
After that, I will go wild, acting like I was doing all those killings for the sake of seeking justice when, in fact, I just want to level up.
10 minutes passed.
Contemplating the lack of progress in my search, the idea of resorting to violence right away crossed my mind.
Sweeping through the prison, all I encountered were wrinkled old men .
But just as I entertained the thought of giving up, my attention was caught by a peculiar door.
Unlike the standard cells, it resembled an office door, sparking a new glimmer of interest .
I teleported through it, and materialized in a dimly lit corridor , the air heavy with an unsettling silence.
Hovering forward, the faint glow revealed worn-out walls.
As I approached a foreboding metal door at the end, the haunting screams of a woman pierced through. The chilling echoes intensified the gravity of the situation within.
Teleporting again to enter the room, I was met with a chilling sight – a dark, ominous torture chamber.
A naked woman hung there, her wrists bleeding, and wounds marked her body, evidence of a brutal whipping.
The grim reality of the scene unfolded in the dim light.
Looking closely , her face was a gruesome sight, battered to the point of being nearly unrecognizable, blood obscuring her features.
Despite the brutality, I could still pick up on subtle nuances in her facial characteristics. freewebnσvel.cøm
The curve of her jaw, the intensity in her eyes – amidst the distress, there were telltale signs that left me with no doubt; this battered woman hanging before me was unquestionably the person I had been tirelessly searching for.
"Motherfucker, what are you doing with my sister-in-law?" I suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sporting a black mask to conceal my identity this time.
The soldiers were jolted by my abrupt entrance, but I didn't gave them a moment to react.
With a swift gesture, I restricted their bodies and banished them to the dream world, where they would endure torment until they die in real life. I made sure to slow down the time of the dream world to make their suffering even longer .
*THUD!
One by one, the soldiers dropped to the ground, unconscious and at the mercy of their tribulation.
I could've simply killed them, but they didn't deserve the luxury of a swift death. No, they needed to endure a lot of suffering before I took their lives and treated them like garbage.
"Are you okay?" I walked over to Min-hee's sister, checking her current condition. Unfortunately, she was now unresponsive, likely beaten to the point of losing consciousness.
*CLING!
I shattered the chains that bound her, then I dressed her in the uniform of a soldier matching her size.
I didn't mind looking at a naked body, but with all those wounds, any interest faded. Checking her pulse, I wanted to ensure she wasn't in immediate danger of dying.
"She's still breathing"
Relieved to find a pulse, I knew that medical attention was necessary.
Gently lifting her, I cradled her in my arms, the weight of her unconscious and thin body a reminder of the brutality she had endured.
"Should I break through this prison and go wild?" I pondered. Now that she was with me, her life was secure. It felt like nothing, not even tanks, could pose a threat to me at that moment.
However, another concern crossed my mind. If someone figured out I came here to rescue her, it could jeopardize Min-hee's identity.
I couldn't afford to take any risks; Min-hee might possess a powerful ability, but her childish nature made me doubtful that she could defend herself.
With that in mind, I prioritized delivering her sister first to safety before going full Rambo.
Carrying her weight in my arms, we silently made our escape from the prison.
'I'll be back for you guys' a creepy smile formed on my face as I passed the oblivious soldiers.
