Chapter 7 - Reincarnation?! Part 4

I heard before that some times you are put in situations which would drastically change your present and future but you are still forced to go along with them, I thought that as long as you have the will you could speak up and take hold of your present and future, but now I know that if I go against the flow it could cost my life that why I am forced to go along with this absurd situation.

I asked him, "Can you tell me about that man from the past, then?, So that we can find out if I am the right person or not?"

The man replied, " tsk...tsk... You can't cheat you have to find about that on your own."

"No other external factors should affect this project."

I couldn't hold off my rage any longer so I slammed the iron table with my fist.

The man stood up nervously, The chair fell on the ground which made a lot of noise since it was made of iron and there was no carpet on the floor. He took a few steps back.

I noticed his hands were trembling, He seemed nervous which was out of his character as he always seemed confident or caring towards his daughter and of course crazy...

He put his hands into the pocket of his lab coat Then he picked out a small remote controller.

He said nervously,

"D-don't come near me, Do you know what am I holding?"

I wondered what he was talking about and it seems he noticed that.

He continued, "It seems you haven't noticed that collar around your neck."

I checked it and felt the collar around my neck and said, "W-what is that thing?"

The man said: "With just a press I can cut off your carotid artery."

"There is a string tied up around your right carotid artery" he explained.

"Once it's cut the blood supply to your brain will decrease rapidly and your brain will degenerate soon after" he continued.

I was so shocked when I heard that and said nervously,

"Are you trying to threaten me?"

Back then I didn't know that this collar wasn't for threatening me but rather it was a safety measure forhim instead.

The man replied, "Y-you better not act against me or you going to die."

My image of scientists was totally shattered into pieces after meeting that man, I have always thought that doctors and scientists' job is to heal people rather than use their knowledge to threaten them.
