Neurolink System in the Modern World

Chapter 239: Close Fight



After my connection was disconnected, I link my perspective on another. To be honest, I witnessed everything through my multiple perspective —a kind of black silk stretched out and severed my pawn's head in an instant.

Then, a man covered in black bandages appeared right in front of my pawns. The bandage twirled around him like it was alive, his face fully hidden, and I could only see his jet-black eyes.

"This guy looks like a mummy," I thought to myself as I observed him, my pawns still pointing their guns at him, ready to fire.

I originally planned to level it up in the future, giving me the ability to see the stats of those who out-leveled me. However, I thought tonight was a good time to make that upgrade.

===========

'Wow, now this is what I'm talking about,' I chuckled as I look at his stats, not because he was particularly strong, but due to the detailed insights my upgraded Mind Eye provided.

What caught my attention was how high his mind power and agility were. No wonder he was able to deflect bullets, and his control over the bandage in his body was commendable.

'Let see how fast you are,'

*BANG!

Without waiting for him to make a move, I initiated the fight by pulling the trigger.

In the tight space, I was pretty sure he could not dodge it. However, instead of evading, the bandage on his body swirled and created a wall that blocked the bullets.

*RATTAAT-RATATTAT-RATTAT!

I decided to test the waters first by using the high-powered rifles. While I could see his skill mastery using my Mind Eye, experiencing how well he could utilize his power firsthand was essential. Perhaps, I could learn a thing or two from him.

The impact of the bullets was peculiar; it seemed as if the flexibility of the bandage reduced their momentum, making them less effective than I anticipated.

Not worried, I continued to fire. I made sure that my remaining nine pawns alternated between reloading and shooting, maintaining a steady barrage.

But the bandage guy didn't seem to like the idea of being on the defensive all the time.

SWOOOOSH!

As if it had a mind of its own, the bandage flew towards my pawns like a snake piercing the air. It twisted and turned.

This time, I was more prepared, and my pawns skillfully dodged its trajectory, their movements synchronized as they fell back, searching for a strategic gap to strike.

*RATTAAT-RATATTAT-RATTAT!

The exchange continued, with neither side gaining momentum. However, my bullets were limited, and sooner or later, my pawns would die.

"Hey, why is a gifted like you working for a gang like this?" I asked through my pawn .

"I see, so you have the ability to control people," The bandage man replied, his voice muffled by the silk shielding him.

"Something like that, we should be buddies instead of fighting like this," I chuckled, attempting to lower his guard down.

"Buddies with a coward like you?" He sneered in contempt.

"Coward?" My voice turned cold. This guy just called me coward. 'I could turn you into a pile of blood with a snap of my finger, you son of a bitch,' I thought to myself.

"Someone whose only power is to control others and hide behind their backs. I've killed a lot of cowards like you already. When you're alone, you're weak and pathetic!" He started laughing like a maniac.

"Playtime is over," his confident voice echoed, and suddenly, my connection with all my human pawns was severed. In that short moment, my eyes widened as I witnessed the black bandage piercing the heads of my pawns at a speed more than double than usual.

Then he wasted no time; he accelerated with such speed that even my rats couldn't follow his movements.

SWOOOOSH!

He scaled the corridor effortlessly, until he finally reached my location. The distance between us was now only 30 meters. I saw him covering his eyes and ears as he approached me. It seemed he had removed his senses to nullify my ability.

"You're dead!" he sneered, as if he had just spotted a helpless prey.

Like a blur, he dashed forward. He wasn't as fast as Rei Mei, but he was still faster than me.

Then without hesitation, he flung the bandage at me, aiming for a quick and decisive strike that was meant to trap me.

"So, this is the end for you," he said with a cold chuckle while the fabric tightened, constricting around me like a snake. Darkness crept in, and the echoes of the bandage man's laughter became the ominous soundtrack to my defeat.

*BURST!

Blood sprayed in a gruesome display as the bandage forcibly shrink and mangled anything inside.

Well, that's what he predicted to happen, but in reality, his body hung in midair, along with his feeble little toys attempting to move but refusing to budge.

"Hey, is that all you got?" I mocked him after pulling out the bandage in his face so I could see his shocked expression.

"Oh, so it's like playing with a bunch of party ribbons?" I chuckled as I effortlessly manipulated the black bandage around me. This guy's control game was like bringing confetti to a magic show—I am the real magician, and he was the clown.

"How? How can you have Telekinesis?" His eyes widened in disbelief.

It was as if Telekinesis was some rare gem, so his shock intrigued me. I had assumed Telekinesis was just a byproduct I got from increasing my Mind Power. Yet, reflecting on it, even Rei Mei lacked Telekinesis in her arsenal. However, I wasn't entirely sure, so I made a mental note to ask her about it the next time we met.

"What if I can use Telekinesis? You can do it too, right?" I asked, thinking this guy could provide some valuable information.

"No, mine is nothing compared to true Telekinesis. I'm sorry; I was blind and did not see heaven!" he apologized. His attitude towards me completely shifted after seeing just a sneak peak of my power.

'Bro, I haven't even used my awesome Aegis projection, and you're already begging?' I shook my head in disappointment. Being overpowered has its drawbacks.

I took a break for a moment, contemplating what I should do with this guy. Finally, an idea came up. It's not every day that I could meet someone this powerful.

"You're my slave now," I commanded using my suggestion.

[Suggestion: ….]
