"What an amateur," my voice echoed through the fully lit room.
The smart bulbs hummed with a cool glow, creating an ambiance that matched my confident tone .
I emerged from the shadows of the bedroom, revealing myself like a phantom. The room seemed to pulse with energy as I confidently approached, hovering in the air while I command over the situation.
"You're that guy from before?" Dong-ha Shin was taken aback by my sudden appearance. Before he could process everything, he felt his body being constricted as I used my telekinesis to put the two of them on hold.
"A gifted !" He exclaimed.
"No shit, Sherlock," I shook my head. This guy was also stupid. 'Did you not see me hovering like a god?' I mused to myself.
"Y—You're that guy from the police station!" Kanon spoke up. Her memory was sharp, recognizing me despite the tremendous change in my face.
"Yeah, that's right. I'm that hot guy from the police station" I admitted.
Both of them were already in the palm of my hands, so I didn't really need to worry. There was no way they could escape my restrictions.
"I didn't say 'hot guy'," she remarked, arching her eyebrows.
But at that moment, my mind was in "selective hearing" mode, so I didn't catch what she said. I was too busy concentrating on Dong Ha, who seemed like he had just seen a ghost.
"How did you become this strong so fast?" he asked, remembering our previous encounter at the bar.
In that version of me, I was so weak that I was forced to kneel in front of this nobody.
So for him, my rapid increase in power seemed illogical. I couldn't blame him; he must have spent his entire lifetime to become as powerful as he was now, and yet I had surpassed him in just a month or two.
Well, it's not my fault that the system chose me to become the host. I was already set for greatness the moment I heard that first notification of the system.
"I'm a born genius ," I replied to him with a smirk .
"PERVERT!" she screamed in embarrassment.
"Don't worry. You'll like it. But before that, I wanted to ask this old man some questions," I grinned and then focused my attention on Dong Ha.
I wanted to know more about where he came from. From what I heard from Kanon, this guy committed a lot of crimes, so I was wondering how he had escaped the clutches of Cerebrum all this time.
My eyes shone for a moment, and in a split second, I made him enter my dream world. The atmosphere in the room shifted, and a tense anticipation filled the air. After precisely 30 seconds, a smirk played on my lips as I observed the complete destruction of his will.
"Tell me who you were affiliated with?" I asked .
"I'm from the Nexus Legion," he answered.
"You're from that group?" Kanon exclaimed.
It seemed this Nexus Legion was quite popular from her reaction.
"Tell me more about it" I commanded.
"Nexus Legion is..." Dong Ha paused for a moment, then something unexpected happened. His eyes and nose suddenly started bleeding, and I felt my Mind Link connection break.
Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e-NovelFire
[System: Danger : Automatic Mind Link Disconnection to protect host]
The system notification hinted at the impending danger.
*BURST
Blood erupted from every orifice in Dong-ha Shin's head, a grotesque display of instant death. It happened so fast that the room felt suspended in time.
Fortunately, my quick reflexes with Telekinesis protected Kanon and me from being tainted by the splattering blood. I was cautious because that blood could potentially carry a virus.
