After locating Indigo at an astonishing speed, some of the manifestations vanished.
Indigo heard a soft female voice whispering, "Wake up, wake up! You're in danger!" The system prompted at the same time, "Danger approaching, log on to poltergeist mode?"
As his arm moved in the mortuary, his astral body followed. The people in the astral plane could not make head or tails of the situation.
"Yes Indigo, you have anymore questions?" The one with the Hindu goddess apparition asked.
As if in a trance, Indigo's finger made a tap in mid air and he was back in the mortuary in his poltergeist mode.
"He's gone. We lost him." Answered the woman with telepathic abilities.
"We were so close." The white tiger roared.
"Don't worry, our recovery team is onto him." The woman replied.
A security at the hospital unlocked the mortuary, saw naked man and dressed him up before pushing him out of the hospital. He made a signal at one of the security camera and the guard on the other end started to delete all the scenes that captured Indigo. Similarly, all records related to Indigo were modified. His records were marked as discharged.
The security wheel-chaired the corpse out of the mortuary and into the nearest lift. They alighted and took a right turn from the lift to the geriatric block.
He took the corpse to a blind spot near one of the stairwells and flashed a knife. An unfathomable force pushed the man back as the wheel chair rolled towards the exit. As the chase continued through the corridor, a series of lightbulbs exploded. "Demons!" The security muttered under his breath, angry that his captive is getting away.
-----------------------
"Log off."
Indigo started to run after ending his poltergeist state. "Strange, my assimilation seem to be easier this time."
"Left", the voice whispered again.
Indigo did a sharp turn.
A poor catholic nun almost bumped into him, but managed to dodge at the nick of time.
"Sorry!" Indigo shouted.
"Thief! Stop running!" The security shouted and adopted a stance with his gun pointing towards Indigo, "Stop or I will shoot!"
"Roll to the left and dash to the streets."
"Roll?" Indigo asked.
"Roll now!" The voice shouted. Bang! Bang! Bang! Indigo complied a split second too late as the bullet grazed his back. He made a dash to the streets and saw a biker in full leather gear. The biker looked like the guy who was chased by thousands of demons in his astral world.
"Get on", the voice said. Indigo had no time to think and got onto the bike. "Hold tight" the voice said. "Oh you're that voice! The girl!"
The biker stayed silent as they fly through the highway. They soon captured the attention of cops for speeding. The biker speed its way through the alleyways of chinatown and went up the ramp of the opened van.
"Hit the road! He's safe!" A man shouted.
An old chinese lady with a slight hunch smiled at Indigo, "Welcome back child."
The biker took off the helmet and revealed a the face of a pretty girl with curly brunette locks. "Thank you for saving me."
The woman looked at him and showed him her severed tongue. Indigo was taken aback, so that was why she did not speak to him and communicated telepathically. "You're welcomed." The brunette voice rang in his head.
"So you're the voice that warned me?" He asked the brunette.
"No, that would be me." said a six year old chinese boy hiding behind the old lady, "And this is my gran gran and she is our guardian- Julia. Rob is our mechanic but he can do anything really. And the one driving, is gran gran. She is like tesla but now Julia is back she will be driving instead." Julia nodded ans assumed the driver's seat. "Bad eyesight, old woman now." The old lady said while polishing her monocle.
Before Indigo could say anything the boy continued, "I know what you want to ask. The guys you saw in your dream are lying, you did not go through any trials. All psychics like us activated our powers when we encountered a life and death event, just like you. But only a few can access the system- something like a game, but is actually a technology embedded in our heart. Me and you are like lab rats actually. Different people gain different abilities through it. So on top of our psychic abilities, I am able to predict the future. Something like a prophet but my power is still level 1 so it is kind of limited. Your power is ghosting, which means you can separate your body and soul. Julia is good in shielding and hiding our presence and Rob is just multi talented. He can fix almost anything, and help us find the ley-lines." The boy paused as if waiting for Indigo to ask him something. Indigo was about to ask him about the ley lines but the boy interrupted, "The ley-lines are where yin or yang energy gather. Several masters gather there to achieve epiphanies and enlightenments. But we need to go there to level up. That's the safest way to level up, if not we will have to level up through extra means." "'Extraordinary' dear" the old lady corrected him. "Thanks gran gran", the boy rattled on, "if not we have to go through extraordinary means like exorcising spirits, demons and killing monsters to gain experience. Julia has lots of experience in that but it had given her a bad side effect so she doesn't recommend that."
"Erm what is your name?" Indigo asked.
"Oh, my name is Xiaokai and Indigo Richeland is not your actual name. It's a character you asked us to create before they implement the system on you. You helped us escape and now we help you."
