Chapter 68: Side Story: Alex is... (2)

"Let me ask you, subject 666. How did you erase your memory?"

I did know that I was sold to a slave trader, an unknown organization bought me and used me for some purposes which I cannot recall.

"Forget it. It does not change anything even if you know how your memory got erased or not."

"Have you decided to tell us about the formula and blueprints of your inventions or not?"

The kidnapper kept on speaking to me but I ignored it.

"You do know that after you were kidnapped, my subordinates had taken action against your friends. As we speak, your A.I. and dream house are being hacked by our organization."

It's almost impossible to hack my A.I. which was defending the dream house. Furthermore, I already installed defensive countermeasures against intruders.

"You must have thought that we couldn't hack your A.I. let alone break into your dream house. I do admit that it will take a lot of time for us to hack your A.I. since you had used complex codes when you program it. But you must have mistaken if it's impossible for us."

"There are currently no one who is operating the dream house and A.I. and defending it from the hacking attack so it would only take us a month to completely hack your A.I. After that, our organizations are going obtain the blueprints, inventions, and formulas that are in your house."

Damn it! The kidnapper was right. Without me operating the A.I. and dream house, it would be possible to invade it.

"Our organization will no longer bother you if you hand us your inventions. This is the last time I ask. Will you hand your inventions to us or not?"

"You already know the answer, you bastard! Like hell, I will hand my inventions!"

My inventions must not fall into the wrong hands. It was too destructive and can potentially threaten the whole nation and even the world.

Good thing I was smart enough to foresee that I'm going to be kidnapped so I commanded the A.I. of the dream house to commence self-destruct if it got almost hacked.

Also, I already told Erin and Reishi that they would not come looking for me if there was a time that I had been missing for a long time or kidnapped.

I had told Reishi to protect Erin in my stead if I was away and I'm sure that Reishi would not be defeated unless someone more powerful than Reishi confronted him.

I had presumed that Reishi and Erin were affiliated with the system that had caused the comatose incident.

I had known about that after I found out that they were able to use similar power to the imposter and the imposter had told me that he was one of the ranked 72 hence I inferred that Reishi and Erin were affiliated with the system.

The kidnapper did not continue having a conversation with me and instead, the door that was locked before opened and a security guard who was armed with heavy armor placed a box inside the white room and closed the door.

I opened the box and saw multiple white clothes including underwear and some white soap and laundry detergent.

There was a paper that was inside the box which piqued my attention so I took it and read the note that was written on it.

What was written on the paper: If you ever change your mind, knock on the door ten times or tell the guard who will give you supplies every week. I'll give you a month and if you still won't give us the information, we'll use brute force.

Even if they give me a year to decide, I still won't change my mind.

To think that other successful test subjects had the same level of genius as I had.

What would have happened if the other 8 geniuses had developed a chemical or invention that was on par with mine but they lie low for several years after we were dismissed except for me.

Was I stupid back then and it would have been a better choice to conceal my abilities?

In my opinion, it would have been the worst choice of my life since I would have not met Erin and Reishi and also would not be able to indulge in luxury.

I observed the door and it was made out of eternium. It seems that they weren't fooling when it comes to confining me in this room.

There was also a medium-size square which seems attachable since it was slightly separated from the door and had tiny gaps when it was incorporated in the door.

If I'm not wrong, then the medium size square in the door was used for handing out a tray of food just like what I had watched in the movies where a prisoner was given food.

It's almost impossible to destroy the door since it was made out of Eternium but as I said, it was almost and not completely impossible.

If only I had a bottle of Soulerium liquid then I would had sprayed it on Eternium since it's corrosive when it comes into contact with Eternium.

Soulerium was a consumable liquid that enhances the soul power of any living being but it was slightly corrosive against Eternium.

The medium-sized detachable door was opened and a guard entered the door using his hand which was holding a tray of food so I received it.

The guard closed the detachable door.

The food was only a plate of white rice and a glass of water. Nonetheless, I still consumed it.

After I had done eating, I lied on the bed and slept.

********

Thirty days had passed after I was kidnapped. Tomorrow will be the last day I get to decide whether I gave up my inventions or not.

I was bored staying in the white room without any form of entertainment for a month and I was on the verge of losing my sanity.

My body was malnutrition due to consuming white rice and a glass of water every day and rarely had eaten meat and vegetables.

My body collapsed and I was almost losing my consciousness but I heard a voice that sounded like hate and mockery.

"Weak!"

I looked up and saw a silver-haired guy with two pairs of red eyes. He has the same body figure and builds as mine. He was the one who called me weak.

"Are you giving up that early?"

"Who are you?"

I answered his question with another question. What surprised me was the door was still locked and somehow he appeared in front of me.

"I am..."
