Chapter 173 Attracted To Her?

Shane continued his day without saying another word. He was still pondering what that fatty had said earlier, but he still couldn't remember what was going on with the previous owner of this body. If there were any memories, he should have gotten them already since they could be stored in the brain, right?

Even if he couldn't get those memories, he should have been able to get more information about what was going on from the outside world, but unfortunately, he was a prisoner. He couldn't get any information, even if he wanted to. For some reason, his powers were all gone too. He couldn't access anything else, and he couldn't get in touch with Hope either.

The Hope here though…. She seemed to be a mental case. If anything, he wanted to stay away from that girl, especially after that knocking scene.

Shane felt a chill down his spine upon thinking about it.

In short, he had nothing to do but get up early, do some exercise in the cell, get out and eat, wander for a bit and socialize, get locked in again, get out again later at night for dinner, wander some more, and sleep.

What kind of boring life was that?

Shane sighed as he wondered if he should just run away from this hell hole? But he still hadn't figured out why Tess, Ed, and Hope were here in the first place.

He wandered around in the afternoon after eating. He needed to work out some more if he wanted to keep his body fit and firm in the cell. Otherwise, with the kind of life he was living, this body would surely get fat and round just like that of the patient he had met.

Just when he was wandering about, he heard the sound of someone jumping down from a height. He frowned as he walked closer.

The person seemed to have jumped outside the fence into the garden filled with bushes. He didn't know what was going to happen. So he just stood there and stared at that place with a frown on his face.

Just when he thought he would see nothing, he saw traces of silver hair hiding among the bushes. He raised his brows and walked closer.

Could this be….?

Well, he should try it. He was here anyway. So he opened his mouth and asked, "Hope?"

The girl suddenly looked up with her eyes clear and stared at the man. The moment she stared at him, she started crying.

​ "WUWUWUUU! Shane, I never thought I would meet you here in this hell hole! Let's get out of here!" The moment she said that, she seemed to have thought of something and shook her head. "No, I have to be clear of my condition first."

"Make it clear." Shane glared at her, realizing that the girl he knew had come back. "What exactly happened?"

Hope shook her head and took a deep bretah. "No time. I might end up forgetting you again. So let's make a plan first. When I come back to myself the next time, I'll tell you what to do. Let me figure out this body first. Ah yes, Shane, you don't have to do anything. Just keep repeating your life here and do nothing else. I repeat. Do nothing else. If you do, you'd mess up my plan."

Shane felt veins popping up on his forehead. "Do you think I'm your robot or something? Speak human!"

Hope poyted. "I went to such a great length to see you, and you're giving me this kind of look. Shane, are you human?"

Shane's cold heart would have been melted if he were a young man who was still in college. But he wasn't. He knew who this girl was and how much colder and darker her heart was inside her beautiful appearance. He didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

His cold and dark stare made Hope sigh as she stood up and patted dust off her body. Soon, she heard sirens going off in the background as she raised her head and said, "I have to go back. Remember, don't do anything. I'll tell you what to do when the time comes. Just try collecting more information about yourself if you want. Yeah?"

"And how do you suppose I do that? I don't have my powers."

Hope winked at him while climbing up the building from the back. "I know you can find a way out. After all, you're as cold-hearted as me. Right?"

Shane glared at her as he crossed his arms over his chest. He didn't say another word as he watched the girl go above, climbing bit by bit.

Tsk. Was she trying to seduce him? She wasn't wearing any pants and was climbing around just like this with only a small patient uniform that reached her mid-thigh. He continued to stare at her until she climbed back to her room and finally turned back.

His entire face was dark at this time, and his mood clearly wasn't that good. So he continued to walk around and didn't mingle with anyone else.

At this time, he could do nothing but wait. Even though he wanted to rebel, he knew he should think rationally and make a decision. Since Hope had remembered everything, things wouldn't be bad if he cooperated with her once again. They already had a history.

But what the heck was he doing? The destruction of the system world was clearly her doing. But why was she doing this? What was her purpose?

Shane frowned as he continued to think about it. He might have to stay with her to know what was all this about.

The time passed slowly as night arrived. Shane and others had just entered their cells after dinner and a socializing event. Shane waited for a while until everyone settled down and turned toward the ventilator. His eyes narrowed as he jumped to the ventilator and grabbed the railings. He pushed his body up and glanced outside.

Since the ventilator was above, it was impossible for anyone to climb there. But Shane wasn't just anyone. After years of practice as a system, he had learned many skills that came in handy whenever he wanted to survive in a difficult situation like this one.

His eyes narrowed as he hung from the ventilator railings and stared down.

The ventilator was large enough for a person of his size to escape if they could jump as high as him. He was fortunate that he still had the ability to jump so high. After staring down, he nodded and started removing the railings one after another. He threw them on the bed inside until only one was left. Then he held the frame and removed the remaining one as well.

Then he climbed out of the ventilator itself as he stared at the scene outside.

It could be said that the scene was scary as heck. There were several floors beneath him, and all he could see was a dark forest. If anyone were to fall from such a height, they would surely die.

Shane sneered and reached out for the pipe on the side. He started climbing up.

At this time, his main goal was to reach the doctor's office and find out more about himself. Half of his worries would be solved if he found out exac exactly the original owner of this body did to the original owner, Hope.

He continued to climb until he reached a window.

He glanced inside just in case. It was indeed the doctor's office.

Since he had nothing to do these days, he had made a mental shaort map of the entire area in case he had to flee. So he knew exactly where the office was in the first place.

After entering the office, he quickly started the computer and hacked into the server.

Thanks to Hope, he had acquired good hacking skills. As a result, he was unconcerned about finding information because modern technology was not as advanced as that of the system world. At this time, he was just waiting for the bar to finish up after typing a few words of coding.

When it was done, a window showed up, presenting his file.

He started reading the file.

The previous owner of this body was also named Shane Cooper. The picture on the side showed a youngster who didn't know how to smile. The personality of this guy seemed to be completely opposite from the kind of guy he was during his university days.

dark and gloomy. Those were the only two words Shane could use to describe the previous owner.

This man was an orphan with no one on whom he could rely. He had faced many difficulties growing up and ended up becoming a dark and gloomy person who couldn't socialize with others. That was until he ended up meeting a sunny girl named Hope at work. He was instantly attracted to her.

At this point, Shane could feel bile rising up his throat.

Him? Attracted toward her?

When he thought of her thighs that were visible, he thought it wasn't impossible if he ignored her personality.
