Chereads / Apathetic but kind / Chapter 4 - In the distant Future

Chapter 4 - In the distant Future

In the middle of the night.

A youth lay unconscious on a make shift bed inside a dark and dimly lit cell.

The sound of keys turning resounded the eerily silent cell as two figures approached the unconscious youth who lay on the bed.

One of the two figures was a woman with her characteristic red hair,Mistress of Blood,Hua Feng.

The other was an old man with white hair and beard.He looked lanky and old but his sharp blue eyes oozed of vigour and anyone looking at such a feeble old man would atleast feel a sense of dread wash over them,if ever they met such a man.

The man oozed of a regal aura and It was clear that he held a higher position than the Mistress Blood in the pavillion.

He was the owner and sect master of the Crimson Blood sect, Bai Feng, and also the father of Mistress of Blood,Hua Feng.

"Sect Master ,this specimen of mine really is a gem among the mortals we have experimented upon "

"He has a whooping 98% syncronization rate with the cosmic nanobots!"

"All my other specimens died because of having only a 60% syncronization rate...but this kid had a 98%!....."

Hua feng countined rambling in an excited tone but suddenly a strong clapping sound resounded in the cell.

The old man clapped his hands as if to signify the cessation of the ramblings of his daughter.

Hua feng got agitated and said"F-ffather ...."

"Stop!"

The old man glared at his daughter asking her to stop her ramblings but such attention was short-lived as he refocused himself on the boy laying on the bed.

The boy had a metal helmet attached to his skull which covered the entirety of his face except for one of his eyes.

The other eye had been changed into a robotic one and his hair had been pulled out as thick pitch black wires dangled down his head.

His entire body ,except for his torso ,was changed into mechanical ones and one could see nanobots crawling upon his skin and fixing any kind of distress all over the body.

The bots mostly looked like maggots crawling which actually gave a grotesque appearance to the already grotesque youth.

Saliva dripped down his half mechanized mouth as he lay lifelessly on the bed with his eyes open.

The boy was clearly in a comatosed state and actualy could sense his surroundings but the torture he went thought was slowly taking over his sanity.

After a round of checking up on the youth,the old man coldly asked his daughter without removing his attension from the boy.

"How long did he last?"

"4 days fffather...."

"Hmm....he's got a terrifying will to survive"the old man muttered.

Even the semi conscious Kai was surprised that he lived through such an ordeal despite having given up on his life two times before the procedure.

Mistress Blood breathed a sigh of relief and said in a excited tone"Don't worry father ,I'll make him learn our cosmic arts and then he....he...."

The woman kept on muttering but all came to a stop when the old man said in a chilling voice that resounded around the entire cell.

"Erase his memory"

"Eh?"

Mistress Blood including Kai was shocked to hear such a thing.

"But father ,he..he is under control and won't be able to retaliate against the sect at all."

The woman tried reasoning but got stopped by the man as he said

"We can't take any risks at all.We can't let a mortal with his consciousness learn the Heavenly Demon God Cosmic arts....don't you know that a prerequisite to learn it would be to become a jiangshi "

"We can't let a walking time bomb roam around our sect members or near our Demon King "the old man said in a frustrated tone.

"Had it not been for your foolishness ,I would've never taken such a difficult task" the Old man vexed.

Hua feng put her head down as to show her father how much she regretted doing such a foolish mistake in the past.

Looking at the pityful appearance of his daughter the old man sighed and regained his aura and said again.

"So I would like you to erase his memory and clear all his records though our spy network"

"We shouldn't be leaving around clues for the orthodox sects even if it's a mortal"

"Atleast prove your worth to the sect...if you can't even do such a simple task,I would consider you were better of being a breeding tool for some fat noble bastard than a concubine candidate for our king"

Hua Feng clenched her fists and bowed to her father as he took his leave from the cell.

Hua feng then looked upto Kain and said in a chilling tone.

"Let's make you the perfect killing machine now...shall we~"

The woman then connected all the strands of thick wire like hair to a formation and started programming his brain.

Kain, throughout the entire ordeal just stared at the dilapidated ceiling as a single drop of tear flowed down his eyes as he remembered the name of his beautiful sister one last time

"Bai ling....."

And just like that ,the pitiful life of Kai came to end as his consciousness slipped away.

And on this final day A Monster was finnally born.

***

About 800 years later.

In the middle of bustling city full of people.

A lone silhouette stood over a tall high rise building at night ,built in a western style with gargoyles over its edge.

The silhoutte had silvery white hair which flowed infront of its handsome chiseled face.

The silhoutte was obviously a man with glowing red eyes looking down at the steam powered vehicles driving throught the street.

He wore a regal black two piece suit inside which he wore a red tie ,with black boots and a monocle on his left breast pocket.

He donned a pair of silver rimmed thin-square shaped glasses which gave him a scholarly vibe, but failed terribly.

The only odd ball among such fine western dress would be his pitch black blade.

The blade was without any cross guard and was just a straight pitch black blade inside a pitch black sheath which had silver carvings of a dragon.

The man had such regal aura but someone would say otherwise as a tinge of sadness could be felt just by looking at his eyes.

Sighing he looked at the moonlit sky and closed his eyes and muttered,'Status'

===============

The man sighed after looking at his status as he realised he had reached his peak.

But....

He wanted power....more power.....power to transcend everything....including the abomination high up in the sky.

The man immediately looked up to the sky as the wind fluttred his silvery white hair,while putting his hand on the handle of his sword.

But suddenly another silhoutte suddenly appeared beside him,kneeling down on the floor.

It was covered with black robes all over its body ,but such a clothing didn't serve its purpose as anyone could say that it was a women just by looking at her chest.

The woman spoke in an emotionless tone as she conveyed her thoughts to her master.

"It done,Master..."

"Good....",said the man without looking at her,as he stared at the moonlit sky.

The moon suddenly became blood red as large tentacles started emerging out of it.

It was purple in colour with green slimy blood oozing out of it.

It was becoming bigger and bigger as it became large enough to engulf the entire world.

The people on the streets became terrified as they started running around,many a times trampling over beggers and and the poor people.

Even children and pregnant mothers were pushed around as the terrified people fled from the monster.

The man looked at the chaos as sighed...

It was his third time already now..

The man then turned around to face the woman and said in a soft tone.

"Ai....."

"Yes,dear...."

This time the woman spoke in an affectionate tone.

The man tore some strands of his hair which immediately transformed into a nanobot which he then handed her .

"Please,crush this,after I start fighting the that guy"

The woman just stared at the man's handsome face after which she finally couldnt control herself and hugged the man and started crying on his shoulder while lightly thumping on his chest and muttered in a broken tone.

"Why do you have to bear every thing....we were happy.....just why..."

She sobbed endlessly as she continued crying over his shoulder.

The man hugged her back and patted her head as he said slowly.

"I have to ...if not who will....for our future....for our safety...for our child.....I have to."

He gently removed himself from her hug as he kissed her fore head .

He then stepped on the edge and opened his majestic bat wings.

He then looked back at the masked woman and gave off a slight smile after which he took off.

She stared at silhoutte with crimson bat like wings on it's back ,speeding further than the speed of light towards the abomination ,high up in the sky.

She smiled helplessly under her mask as she cried,tears flowing down her cheeks.

She then crushed the nanobot on her hand and a click sound resounded through the night .

Putting a hand on her stomach and caressing it...she muttered in a broken voice.

"I hope we will meet again little guy....

We will live a happy life with father .....okay..."

The woman lay on the roof of the building while caressing her stomach.

And just then the entire world turned black.
