Chapter 239 Why Show Me?

A zombie didn't just collapse on the floor, in fact, if there was one thing they were known for, it was being up at all times of the day, walking either at a fast pace looking for its next meal, or slowly just wandering about, perhaps conserving its energy until it found something to eat.

Which was why all of those in the Reborn group were quite worried, Zain didn't look sluggish moments before, and just like that, it was almost as if he was shot dead and had fallen to the floor.

Rushing out of the startled group, were the three that were nearly by his side the entire time. They quickly went onto the floor and checked to see if everything was okay.

"What's wrong, you guys don't seem so surprised by this?" Mr. X asked. "Is he okay?"

"This type of thing has happened before when we first met Zain, we don't really know what it is, but the last time, he did eventually wake up." Kun explained. "He said if this was to happen, then we were to call Sarah immediately."

Mr. X did just that, and Sarah quickly ordered Mr. X to take him to her lab. Here there was a special bed that had been laid out in case this was to occur. Honestly, it had been set up a while ago as she expected something to happen sooner, when Zain had told her about these instances. So it took her a while to get everything set up.

Strange devices were attached to Zain's head, and multiple monitors were put on the screen.

'I'm not sure how much we will be able to get, but maybe we can at least figure out why you are getting these blackouts. From the looks of it, your brain is active… a lot more active than usual.'

Looking at Zain, it was hard to tell if he was having a good vision this time or a bad one.

'Just what is happening to you right now?'

——

Moments before, as Zain could feel what was happening to his body, many thoughts ran through his mind.

'Why hasn't it happened in so long? Why did you wait now, until of all times to let me see something, just before I was about to have a fight. You couldn't have picked a better time, could you?

'Well, at least this didn't happen during the fight, that might have been worse.'

When these black outs happen they weren't always the same thing, a game of some type, meeting the faceless man, a memory, or even a vision of things that he should have never been able to see, he wondered what would he come across this time.

His whole vision went from black to a bright white, and slowly he could see the objects around him.

"Wait a second, I recognise that… Why is it showing me this?'

Zain's body was transparent like that of a ghost, he had experienced this once before and it was when it was showing him a vision of what had happened in the past. Perhaps it was showing the same thing now, which made Zain wonder, why was it showing him a lab.

It wasn't just any lab though, it was the current lab in the Reborn group. The lab looked identical to what it looked like now with a few things moved about here and there. It didn't look old and it wasn't the same lab that was in the other vision he had seen before, this was without a doubt the Reborn group's lab, and that's when his eyes found Sarah.

She was in her white overcoat that she would always wear, and based on her appearance she looked to be the same age as the current Sarah that Zain knew, it wasn't like the old vision he had seen a younger version of Sarah.

'Does this mean, what it's showing me is fairly recent, it has to be, but why is it showing me this, what does it want me to see?'

Standing opposite of Sarah was a man, with short black hair and he was wearing what looked like an army uniform. There were no fancy medals or stripes so the man didn't appear to be a high ranking general of sorts, and was just an ordinary soldier around his thirties.

'I've never seen this person before, at the army base or at the Reborn group, if I was to guess I would say he looks human.' Zain thought.

"So do we have a deal?" Sarah asked, fidgeting and looking extremely nervous.

"I would be happy to take part in the deal." The man replied. "But we do have a problem don't we. You don't speak for everyone, and you are unable to control the other's actions.

"I assume you know we have had major problems, and I believe you know this person very well."

After hearing these words, unconsciously Sarah had taken a step back and nearly went to bite her nails but stopped herself. It was the first time Zain was seeing Sarah like this, so unconfident. Just who was this person?

"If I stop him… if I manage to convince him, then will you take the deal?" Sarah asked.

The man smirked as he turned around, giving a wave.

"I will be back to see your progress, and I will be back soon."

The vision was starting to come to an end, it was short, and it didn't tell Zain a lot, other than the fact Sarah desperately wanted to do a deal with this person, just who were they?
