Chapter 77: Zobae organisms
.......
Yasuo then started looking towards the chamber though not with his eyes as they're still completely white signifying his blindness.
He was looking through the dark crow on his shoulder, through the pitch-black vertical eye, and all the extremely small Aerothreads all over the crow.
A hidden desire none can notice is deep within the crow's vertical eye as he looked at the infected person within the chamber as the latter just continued eating his own flesh without care about the world around him.
'Such an interesting organism, if I can mimic how its ability works then wouldn't I be able to create as many stem cells as I want and if combined with my proficiency in enhancement, I will have near-instant regeneration.
While my regeneration capabilities are already one of the best and I can regrow my limbs using Violet Rose, the latter's consumption is too big so a better passive alternative sounds interesting.
But I will need further and more in-depth research to make it useable and see if I can mimic it.'
A glimmer of light passed in his eyes, 'One last experiment...' And with that, the crow blinked and Yasuo decided on creating a portal in 8 seconds.
And only one second passed before he heard from the person in the Hazmat suit, "Five."
The instant he heard that, he created a portal in which he instantly went in with Morena Yet Mirruc made no movement at all as he just watched the scene play out helplessly.
The reason he can counter the blue-haired woman in the hazmat suit's ability is quite simple.
He decides what he'll do and when and since he concluded that she can see seven seconds into the future.
He decided he'll do that specific action 8 seconds from that moment.
Once a second passed, she saw or knew what he'll do somehow with her ability and she changed the future once she uttered the number five as the moment Yasuo heard that, he change his mind and basically changed the future.
He was truly gonna wait for 8 seconds before performing that certain action but he only decided on performing the action instantly once he heard her, Hence changing the future.
And since she can see seven seconds, she saw the new future but couldn't react to it since it happened instantly.
'Hmm, interesting... the previous times she uttered the number four while this time she uttered the number five.
Is that just so she can deliver information about the future quickly or is that how her ability works, she only sees the numbers but she knows what they mean but Mirruc appears to know their meaning too.. Well doesn't matter for now,'
Countless invisible threads surrounding both Mirruc and the woman in the hazmat suit's bodies not allowing them to make any movement.
They couldn't sense the threads at all since Yasuo used 'In' on them and they couldn't see them even though they're using 'Gyo' due to Aeronen's invisibility property. In fact, every person within his domain is immobilized.
As Yasuo walked close to the infected person while also using Aerothreads to immobilize him, he asked Morena, "How many people is your ability applied to right now?"
"Its limit, seven," then Morena asked wondering, "You want me to use it on him?"
Yasuo nodded, "En, cancel your ability on one of them," As he said that he created an extremely small needle which he used to get a speck of her blood and she just closed her eyes focusing for a few seconds before saying, "Done,"
After which, Yasuo started controlling the blood until it made contact with the infected person then asked, "Did it work?"
Morena narrowed her eyes as a weird expression surfaced on her face, "No, he is already dead!"
Yasuo looked thoughtful hearing that, 'As I thought, the only reason he is how he is right now is because of the rare phenomenal called "Nen after death" his Nen didn't disappear after his death like all the other people with him.
Instead, his Nen got stronger allowing the organisms to stay functioning and they themself are responsible for keeping the body intact as long as enough Nen is available. A perfect cycle caused by a highly unlikely coincidence,'
A gleam of light passed in his already completely white eyes as another question spurted in his mind.
'But then how is the body moving even after all this time, is it just Nen? Is his Nen trying to fulfill whatever desire he had, the same desire that caused the "Nen after death" phenomenal to happen... Or is the Zobae organisms responsible for this?'
Suddenly Yasuo raised his eyebrows noticing three Nen users entering his domain range though that didn't surprise him as he noticed a while ago that Mirruc started outputting his Aura creating a beacon that Nen users can sense because while he can't move, he can still control his Aura and Yasuo didn't stop him.
The three Nen users took only a few seconds to respond after Mirruc started outputting his Aura.
The lab facility is quite large stretching far beyond Yasuo's domain range but he vaguely sensed the Nen users a while ago.
What surprised him is that only three of them responded with the other Aura signals remaining static.
'That's interesting, I'll keep it in mind for when I come back...'
As he thought of this, Yasuo deactivated the Vision ability as the dark Vertical Eye disappeared from the crow's face with two Aeroeye threads taking its place forming a kind of normal crow eyes.
He didn't dissolve the dark purple crow leaving it standing on his shoulder.
Yasuo turned his head as his eyes turned to normal, he looked at Mirruc while saying calmly, "I'm done, thanks!"
Mirruc looked confused hearing that, "You are?"
He asked wondering since he just noticed Yasuo blinking few times and looking around for a bit with his eyes turning completely white but only four seconds passed.
Yasuo nodded as he started holding Morena's hand who looked equally as confused, "Well, the date has been incredibly enjoyable but probably not enjoyable for you so let's continue the date outside, shall we?"
Even though she is still confused, Morena still smiled holding his hand tightly while Murric's face couldn't help but twitch, 'This was a date? A date to such a place?'
He still led them outside without asking any further questions but he came back hurriedly meeting with the blue-haired woman again and asking, "Nara, you didn't see any number at all?"
She shook her head, "No, my ability didn't trigger at all,"
Mirruc frowned, "He looked like he did something, and from what he said he seems to have gotten what he wanted yet your ability didn't trigger. Perhaps his ability's effect isn't within the list."
Nara just let out a sigh while bringing a tablet from her hazmat suit's pocket and touched it a few times, entered a code before she was giving access to the said list.
"We don't have a choice, my ability can trigger only if one of the seven specific events are going to happen and the seven options we choose are necessary."
Mirruc nodded agreeing, "At least we know he didn't do anything dangerous so he probably just used his ability to get information about the disease"
He then turned around and started leaving though only after saying a few words. "The list will update in a few minutes so keep the lookout for it."
Nara nodded and only had to wait for about a minute before she received a message informing her of the update then she started looking through the seven options listed.
....
Yasuo and Morena walked hand in hand with the latter not asking any questions until they made some distance from the agency, "I'm curious, what did you do?"
Suddenly Yasuo's expression changed into a sad one as he touched his heart area saying, "You forgot? After all, we've been through inside? That really hurts my feelings!"
Morena looks stunned seeing the scene play out until she let out a small laugh not being able to hold her laugh back, "Hahahaha... that doesn't suit you at all~"
Yasuo smiled dropping the act, "Of course it doesn't. Anyway, how do you want the date to go on?"
Morena just shook her head noticing he is changing the subject, "Somewhere quiet without many people and no annoyance~"
As she said this Morena was thinking about the meaning behind his words, 'After all we've been through inside huh, could it be something happened there I'm not aware of? But how?
Unless it's one of his abilities, the dark purple crow is most likely responsible in some way. Then he basically told me that something happened and left for me to figure out the what and how. He really likes to mess around, doesn't he.'
"Hmm, let's go to a good restaurant close by, relax and have lunch and perhaps watch a movie after then head to a hotel spending the night here... Also, what kind of movie do you want to watch?"
Hearing that brought a smile to her face as she thought about the question, "A movie that's chaotic yet calm should be interesting, or a horror movie. if not then let's just go with a romantic movie."
A hint of amusement appeared within Yasuo's eyes hearing that as he started looking at the available movies through his phone before saying, "A sound of chaos sounds interesting so let's go with that."
And the day passed with the two enjoying themself and continuing to do so through the night.
