Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 288: My Promise

Having familiarized myself with the route, escaping took just a few minutes as I effortlessly soared out of there.

The prison that once contained all her horrors gradually shrank until I found myself back in the forest, where the girls awaited patiently.

The sight of Min Hee rushing toward me spoke volumes about her concern for her sister.

"Sister!" Min-hee exclaimed as I landed.

I gently lowered her sister's body to the ground.

"What did they do to her?" Min-hee's voice trembled as she took in the sight of her sister's broken face.

Her eyes widened in shock, and her hands instinctively covered her mouth. The pain reflected in her expression, and her body seemed to tense with a mixture of sorrow and disbelief.

"It's better that you don't know," I said, exhaling a heavy sigh.

After hearing my words, Min-hee refrained from further questions and devoted herself to her sister.

"I think she needs medical attention," Rei Mei remarked. frёeωebɳovel.com

Min Hee nodded, raising her palm, and a gentle golden glow emanated from her hands.

"Is this another type of ability?" I inquired, turning to Rei Mei.

"Yes, she can control light. By altering its composition, she can create a specific type of light that accelerates healing. It's effective for superficial wounds," she explained.

'Interesting. I wasn't able to copy all of her skills, so perhaps I need to observe it first before I can replicate,' I mused to myself, contemplating the possible reasons behind my limitations.

After 10 minutes, Min-hee's sister's complexion improved, and the wounds gradually healed. However, traces of scars remained, marking the impact of her ordeal.

I'm pretty sure that she would still be mentally broken after she wake up. The trauma of what she suffered would have cause some major issues.

I kept it to myself, but I couldn't overlook the lacerations on Min-hee's sister's private parts. It was evident she had endured hell during her time of imprisonment.

"I've been meaning to ask, how did she end up here?" I inquired.

This was not the kind of place people typically choose for a vacation, especially those who've managed to escape it before. I'm trying to grasp the logic behind it.

Min-hee paused for a moment,maybe contemplating how to say her response.

"I don't know. She decided to come back here for something important, and at the same time, she got a job that she insisted will make her rich," she explained with uncertainty in her voice.

"What kind of job ?"

"I'm not sure ,but I heard that someone paid her to investigate something , I told her that it was dangerous but she did not listen , " Min-Hee started crying again .

'Wait, why do I feel that this story is familiar?'

"What's your sister's work?" I asked with a worried tone, a sense of foreboding creeping in.

"She's a private investigator," Min-hee replied.

'Fuck!' I cursed inwardly, realizing that I might be the reason she came here in the first place.

I remembered hiring someone on the internet to go to North Korea. I covered all the travel expenses and offered a substantial amount of money, tempting whoever it was to risk their lives.

Listening to her story, it struck me that this case might be connected to that particular job.

Now, I could be directly linked to the misfortune of her three family members.

My god, it felt like the world was conspiring against me.

Maybe it's karma for the lives I took in that fire? The coincidences were piling up, and I couldn't shake the feeling of being punished.

"Who ever sent her was a fucking idiot ! How could they asked a defenseless lady to come in this place ?" Rei Mei's voice echoed with anger, her fists clenched in frustration.

"They should be held liable for this," she added, her eyes narrowing with a mix of disbelief and fury.

"The person who sent her here should burn in hell," Eun Ha declared, her expression reflecting disdain.

"T-That's right, they should be punished," I added, feigning agreement while internally wrestling with the possibility that I might be responsible for everything.

I quickly entered Min-hee's sister's dream world using 'Dream Manipulation' to converse with her.

There, I witnessed a woman utterly broken and consumed by sorrow. Her dream relentlessly replayed the scenes of her prolonged torment. I intervened, reshaping the dream into a more serene setting.

"Hey, are you alright?" I inquired, finding her now seated on a comfortable sofa within a spacious mansion.

The mansion's interior boasted a serene purity with its all-white décor, and the carefully chosen furniture and fixtures had a calming effect on anyone who entered.

I found this mansion online, memorized the details, and recreated it in the dream world. It's just one of many places saved in my memories.

"Where am I ? " She asked.

"You're safe now. By the way , why did you come to north Korea ?"

"I --I came here for.."

"Came for what ?"

"I came here to investigate a woman. I was hired by someone. I did not expect that they would be able to recognize me after all these years," she replied, tears streaming down her face.

'It's confirmed, all of this is my fault,' I sighed, and then promptly exited the dream.

"I can erase her memory, wipe away all this trauma if you want me to," I offered to Min Hee.

It seemed like the best course of action for now, and admittedly, it was also a way for me to erase her memory of the person who had caused all of this in the first place.

And that person was none other than me.

"Thank you, Oppa," Min-hee expressed with a grateful but forced smile.

"I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being with me," she added, her eyes reflecting sincerity and appreciation.

"Don't worry. I will always be on your side. I'll do everything to protect you and your loved ones. I promise." I assured her, embracing her tightly.
