Chapter 98 The System Activates

It was the first time the System had prompted a message for Zain, and it wasn't a quest but rather a piece of information which could help him in this current situation.

'Why would the system do such a thing now when it has never done anything like this before?' Zain thought. 'And it seemed to come up when I was thinking about the problem, not when I first entered the room. Is there more to this system that I still don't know about.'

Based on the message, it meant he had the choice to do it or not. In one way or another, it was clear that the System was trying to help him in this situation.

'This System is strange, helping me out now of all times. It's like I'm still in some type of tutorial mode, and it's still taking me through all of the available features.' Zain thought as he walked over to Shark's head and lifted it.

Memories of the days when he would be playing games came up to him. Each survival game was different in how it worked, and how it would take one through a tutorial. However, this possibly would have had to have been the worst tutorial by far if it really was the case.

If he met the developers of this system, he wanted to give them a slap around the face. The least they could have done is some basic research to find out how these things worked.

Zain started to lift the head and roll it around a little as if he was inspecting it, like a detective.

"What are you doing to his body?" Kun asked.

Tilting the head to its side, Zain saw an opening.

"You want to know what happened to these guys, right?" Zain replied. "Well, remember I'm different from the rest of you? My body can heal at a fast rate, and I can control the people that I turn, but it turns out that's not the only thing I can do. There is a way for me to see the last moments of the dead."

"Really!" Kun exclaimed in excitement but seeing Zain take out a dagger, he knew what was going to come next. He looked away as the all too familiar sound had been made. Then when turning back, he could see that Shark's brain was in Zain's hand.

Although Kun wanted to respect his dead colleague's body, if what Zain said was true, it was important for them to find out what happened. For one, they could know what happened to Pink, and two, they were curious about how everything transpired, and Zain was hoping to find out something more.

Which was why Kun didn't bother to say anything, not that he believed he could do anything even if he was against Zain doing such things. It was clear from the little scuffle they had with everyone that Zain was just far too strong.

'I wonder how this thing is going to work. I have already eaten a brain a few times, so this is no different, but something like this has never happened before.' Zain thought as he gobbled down on the brain, bit by bit while keeping his mind off the action.

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

Once again, he thanked the fact that his taste buds were dulled, and so was the sense of touch, so the texture and taste weren't really a problem. Rather it was just the act of eating the brain itself.

Unlike with the other Brain's there wasn't a refreshing feeling, and it didn't seem to do anything to up his body functionality like human brains did. So it still didn't solve the other problem he had.

'It said 24 hours, so maybe I'll get the chance to see something else as well?'

[You have consumed a 'Reborn' Zombie's brain]

[You can now access the memories the brain has seen in the last 24 hours before its death. Would you like to proceed?]

"Hey Kun, this whole looking thing might take a while. So make sure you protect me or wake me up if something happens." Zain replied.

Zain had thought about going back to an apartment or some other place else, but it was quite clear this palace was abandoned, and whatever had done this was unlikely to return. The only thing he was worried about was the Reborn Organisation that the others worked for.

However, it had only been a day, and since it was high risk to send out a team to see what happened to them, Zain theorised that they would be moving slowly.

At the same time, he had ordered Skittle and Cobra to come and protect him once again. It was possible that he might have become unconscious for 24 hours. Whoever attacked this place was unlikely to return, but they couldn't be too optimistic, so it was as safe as anywhere.

[Yes]

Zain didn't pass out as he had expected, nor was he transported to a certain place. Instead, a system screen appeared, and it was now as if he was watching something on a large TV. In fact, there was even the option to skip and move the player bar that went on for 24 hours.

Some of it showed the tail end of what had occurred in Chinatown. Seeing this, Zain skipped through and went through all that he knew. It was playing from a Shark's perspective, like a point-of-view video.

'I wonder, is the footage stored in the System forever? Will I be able to have access to this whenever I want?'

Continuing on the video, Zain finally stopped it when Shark was in his office and had begun the call with the others. This was when Zain was standing outside the door and had only heard half of the conversation.

After a few introductions, Shark had begun speaking to a male agent on the other side. The voice was clear, and it wasn't the women that he had run into or that the others had known.

"We just found hundreds of dead Zombies, and upstairs there were Stage two zombies that were eliminated in the similar fashion that you told us the Demons would kill. You said we would be safe after the first meteor strike if we waited a few days." Shark complained.

'Follow current novels on No v elBin.',

There was a pause for a few seconds on the other end, and a few sounds of shuffling could be heard as if the man was speaking to someone before giving a reply.

"This was out of our predictions. We could only guess so much. The only thing we can state is to keep doing as you are doing. Collect the Crystals. They will help us win this in the future. You have to remember the Reborn are there for a reason, just like the evolved are there for a reason.

"Everything you are doing is for the sake of humanity's survival. Keep working hard, Agent Shark."

Shark had almost let out a laugh, and from the video, Zain could see he was also frustrated by the way he had clenched his fist around the speaker.

p "What do you mean this wasn't part of your predictions?" Shark almost shouted, "If you knew about it, then you should have informed us immediately. Anyway, have you looked into what I asked for?"

"We have checked all our files for agents that are within the Reborn group. Your description doesn't match a single one of them. We advise you to proceed with caution as, at this moment, the only thing we can confirm is that he is not one of us. He wasn't part of the Reborn program."

After that, the call had pretty much ended there, and Zain knew how the rest of the story went. Listening to this Reborn organisation talk more and more, Zain was starting to believe that they knew this was going to happen at some point.

From the sounds of it, they knew a lot about what was happening around the world, but the question was, why were they doing such things?

Since it didn't look like he would find an answer, Zain continued to go through the video, and soon, he reached the part where he heard the mysterious visitor knocking at the Club's door.
