Chapter 31 The Unholy Lair One Point O!!

"Stop, deactivate the Divine Punishment Protocol!" A familiar female voice spoke, halting the attack in time.

The eyes of the giant stone statue closed quickly again, interrupting the channeling of the power.

Bobby saw the appearance of a beautiful lady in his mind.

"Cynthia, what's this place? And what is with this stone statue? It almost tries to kill me again. " Bobby asked a series of questions as if she was his long-lost bosom friend.

"Good day, host!" Cynthia greeted him. And she replied," For now, I can only give you this one piece of information. This very place shall be your re-close and training ground from today onward. Also, no one can enter inside here without your prior permission." " Alright, try scanning this room using your ocular skill." She said inside his head.

"Trying to act so mysterious. Humph!" Bobby wondered and scoffed in his head.

He spoke using his mind, "Level 1 Devil's Eyes, activate!" The next instant, both of his eyes dazzled for a second and turned to his normal blue eyes again. He then glanced around every nook and corner of the room.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A new notification came to his mind as,

[ The Unholy Lair 1.0: Current status locked. Use 50 experience points to unlock it.]

"The Unholy Lair 1.0!" Bobby hushed in just above his audible tone.

"Right, Host, needs to unlock it first." Cynthia insisted.

"Fine. I'll do that." Bobby responded," And stop calling me as Host again. It really ticks me off."

"Then….what should I call you?" Cynthia, the guardian of the Unholy System, currently residing inside Bobby's head, asked.

"Alright, I shall introduce myself first. You have probably heard about it already. I'm Bobby Bradford." Bobby further added, "Ah, and you can call me Bobby. Or you can just call me by my sobriquet, Mister Bebop."

"Mister Bebop!" "Bebop like in the Cowboy Bebop?" Cynthia asked.

" Oh, you even know about that old 20s television series, too?!" Bobby asked in surprise.

" Host….Sorry, Mister Bebop, why give me that face?!" Cynthia chuckled and continued speaking, "Hee hee hee. Before I became the guardian of the Unholy system, I have been studying and researching the human species that you all called yourselves...Homo Sapien Sapien, for more than a couple of centuries. Among all those things you all do for recreations, I particularly find myself quite amusing about something you called….the movies, right?"

"Yeah, and I also have already watched Cowboy Bebop. It's one of my favorites among all those sci-fi television shows." She further added, surprising him even more. "But why do you call yourself by that name? Do you have any attachment to that movie?"

Bobby smiled wryly and replied, "No, it's just that my aunt used to tease me. And I have gotten used to it, too."

"Cynthia, can you tell me what is with this Unholy Lair 1.0?" He asked again, collecting his mind.

"The Unholy Lair 1.0. It's a multi-purpose program I specially designed for the future host of the Unholy System. Others you need to explore it yourself, as I can't divulge you any more information other than this. Alright, why don't you try unlocking it? You have enough experience points, anyway." Cynthia instructed, explaining to him.

"But..but, I have only 64 experience points right now." He wondered inside his head. Several minutes later, he finally decided, making a tough decision, "Fine, let's see what this thing is all about."

Bobby used up 50 experience points and unlocked it, using his mind.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

With the beeping sounds, a new notification appeared in his mind as,

[ The Unholy Lair 1.0. ]

[ Status: Unlocked.]

[ Three Main features are now open to Host. The Blood Research Laboratory, the Martial art training Virtual Realm, and the Mechanical laboratory.]

[ Net Experience Points: 14]

"14 experience points. Hmm, I have only one shot to use for now. Which one should I use on...?" Bobby muttered under his breath. And then he began wondering, " Blood Researching Laboratory, first I need to gather enough blood samples to start my research on it. So, it's out of option for now. That leaves the only other two options."

He supported his chin with his hands and thought deeply for some time and finally came to a decision. "Even though the thought of going inside the Mechanical workshop is really tempting, right now I need to brush up on my martial art training." He murmured.

Then he added another 10 experience points on the Martial Art Training Virtual Realm.

[ -10]

[ Net Experience Points: 4]

Just at that moment, a blood red-colored giant door with the design of an angel with golden wings materialized before him inside the room.

Crack! Crack! Crack! ...

The doors automatically opened up with high-pitched cracking sounds.

Bobby glanced inside it and saw only a pitched black dark abyss on the other side of the giant door.
