When all facts were piled together, there was only one possible answer and it shocked Alex to a point where he began to second guess himself.
Surely something like this couldn't exist, right?
He had to try.
Alex now had the technique to work with, and the Intent to go along with it. So, he began.
Having used the technique once, Alex easily used it again, pulling the Qi up to his mind in less than half the time of the previous instance. He kept the Intent throughout the entire time, even though it was totally ridiculous, and when the Qi reached the end of the path in his brain, he suddenly got a splitting headache.
"Argh!" Alex cried out in pain, buckling over into the ground. He collapsed, his head writhing in pain as his headache barely lowered.
