Security couldn't stop the enemy from advancing. To ensure the safety of the information, the base will self-destruct in 100, 99, 98…
"Hmm… I think you should start running. The exit is a bit far from here," I say with a smile on my face.
"Kaizer, you damn, after all we've done for you, is this how you repay us?" An old man without legs and with deep cuts on his face says to me, who am sitting calmly in an armchair in the middle of the room.
A cruel smile appears on my handsome face. "Don't joke like that with me, old man. I don't mind spending the remaining seconds sticking my knife in your chest." Changing position in the armchair, I continue: "There's no debt between us, old man. You needed a hunting dog and created me. Everything I learned and used was for the benefit of the organization. And it was worth it, right? You created the perfect killer. A thousand missions and all completed perfectly. You know, that's an impressive number and that's where your mistake appears. You taught me too well.
"But honestly, was it really necessary to poison me? I don't remember showing insubordination or being a danger to the organization."
The old man looks deeply at me and says: "You're not entirely right about that. We really taught you well, but you're an aberration. Don't you remember your first combat training? When you killed your instructor by breaking his trachea with punches. You were born to kill and that's something instinctive. Anyone who has ever heard your name will feel fear, and that fear is even greater in us who have witnessed your deeds. And the solution we found to get rid of that fear was to get rid of you. Now answer me, when did you find out you were poisoned?"
"Hmm, I found out two days ago. You know, it's not very normal to vomit blood and organs," I reply, smiling.
After a few seconds looking at me, the old man starts to laugh, "HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA…"
"It looks like you've finally gone mad, old man."
Trying to catch his breath after the laughing attack, the old man said: "Phew, that caught me off guard, haha."
Smiling and leaning towards the old man, I say with anticipation: "What's the joke? Tell me too. I don't think it's fair for you to laugh alone. Let me have one last laugh. But let me warn you, if it's bad, I'll kill you.
Approaching my ear, the old man said: "This poison has the potency to kill more than fifty men in 10 seconds… and you're smiling in front of me having this poison in your body for two days. I can only laugh at the situation. You're really a damn monster… GAH…"
Having a knife suddenly stuck in his throat, the old man's eyes widen as he looks at me, who look at him bored.
Leaning back in the armchair, I rest my chin on my hand, look at the old man who is choking on his own blood and say: "I told you, right? If it was bad, I'd kill you. I didn't find it pleasant to vomit my guts."
10, 9, 8…
With the sound of the countdown getting louder, I stop looking at the old man's corpse and turn my gaze to the timer.
Sighing and closing my eyes, I say: "Ah, I should have lived my way. Become the emperor of this damn world… '4, 3, "Man, what a shitty life."
2, 1…
Silence *
"Did I die so fast that I didn't even hear the explosion?" I ask myself, still with my eyes closed.
"I know, I became Schrödinger's cat. I really am the best, even in death I am unique." While I'm lost in my narcissistic thoughts, I hear a melodious voice that takes me out of my reverie.
"Excuse me, Mr. Kaizer, I came to take you to sunbathe in the garden."
Slowly opening my eyes, I turn my head, look at the door with a stunned expression and ask the beautiful woman dressed as a maid: "Where's my explosion?"
