Chapter 72: Ch.72 Become a Beast!!!
"Now that, we know your back story... I've been dying to ask! At what stage of the genetic constraint were you?" Kris asked.
"Well, that's why we're here isn't it... Evolve, or Die! I was at the 3rd stage... That's why I manage to assimilate into the coroner's body... my leader was almost at Infinitesimal Control. But he died by Deaths machinations, Troll bloodline can't help you regenerate if you're minced, and charred." said Mr.Bludworth
At this point Clear wasn't even listening anymore she was caught in her own little trance.
"Well could you help a buddy out with some tips, I'm currently stuck at the 1st stage." said Kris hoping to get some advice...
William Bludworth sighed, and stared at Kris intently seemingly looking at an invisible screen in front of him.
After a while he shooked his head, "You thought of taking a shortcut huh?!, that's not always good. Your going at it from all directions now!"
"Body-Mind-Spirit. That's the standard formula..."
"Before we go any further,I must start by saying that while we've referred to this triad being the three pillars of life."
"Through my experience, while on missions into the movie worlds. I've discovered that the part of ourselves that we relate to, as the Soul or Spirit."
"Is in fact, the aspect of us that encompasses the Body and the Mind, and a third key element: our Emotions."
"Our Spirit, or Soul aspect does not belong in the triad. It encompasses, and holds all three aspects together."
"When we look at the Body, Mind and Spirit connection, what we are really seeking to understand is the ethereal, and intangible energy of our feelings, and emotions, as these are the language of the Soul."
"At the 1st stage, we shut off our emotions, and recall the instincts from our past generations. This instincts are the written codes on how to operate our body that was derive from theirs."
"Our DNA is packed with data, lines, and lines of code, passed along from the line of our earliest ancestor. The 1st stage gives us access to a compiler so we could run the programmed instincts to control our body."
"The 2nd stage grants absolute control of the body. It allows the user to forcefully push the body beyond 100% power and have absolute control of the body. Its akin to getting a premium software compared to the free trial you got from the 1st stage."
"The 3rd stage could be described in one word "Simulation". Gain absolute control of the brain. People are constantly emitting brainwaves. These waves vary their frequency every second."
"Once you entered the Third stage, you can simulate the brainwaves of people you have been in contact with and simulate their thoughts, actions, and even some of their abilities between 30-50% effectiveness."
"It's almost like going into the internet, to download a bootleg version of someone else's game software. It's playable. But, your unable to use all its functions, due to your incompatable hardware."
"When you have the ability to change, or upgrade your hardware, and use the software to 100% of its capability... that's when you enter the 4th stage. Infinitesimal Control."
"I don't have a clue about the 5th stage, some even say it's a myth." Mr. Bludworth added.
"Now do you know where you fooked up?! You went in, and accelerated the construction of your mind palace, twicked your genetics to mesh with it, and unlocked your genetic constraint to help you somehow coordinate with the changes in your system."
"Thanks to your strong soul, it somehow held every thing together. But, the moment you turn off that skill. Focus State of Mind... you'll be a drooling mess!"
"I suggest, you find something that will allow you to maintain some semblance of control over your self after you turn that skill off."
"Hypnosis won't work on you, your mind is too strong for that. So you'll have to find something deeper, something, Primal. Hunger, Wrath, or Lust. Then slowly you'll have to cease control, if not channel it into something, or someone..."
"You'll be a Berserker... , but that will give you a chance at going farther up the evolution chain." Finished Mr. Bludworth.
"Isn't that ironic! So I could evolve to a higher being, I have to go back to being an animal. No! worse! I have to become a Beast!" Kris let out a deprecating laugh.
Mr. Bludworth didn't add anymore after his explaination, but he looked down to his rolex watch, and said.
You've stayed long enough, you better leave now or Death might start getting suspicious.
They said their goodbyes, and shook hands. Kris then put an arm around the still shocked Clear, to assist her back to the car.
Kris then drove back to the hotel, where the rest of the newbies were staying.
When He got there, everyone was sitting on the floor of the empty bed room with in the suite they got. They moved everything from one suite to another, and stayed in the empty one.
He thought it was a ridiculous idea. But since nobody was targeted by Death while he was out, he didn't say a thing.
He just told them that he ordered some food, and it will be brought up by room service.
Then turned, and took Clear to his suite's leaving room, and sat her down the sofa. He then placed a glass of water in front of her.
That's when his phone rang, when he checked the number it was from an unknown caller.
He answered the phone out of curiosity, to his surprise it was Zheng. He couldn't remember when was it that he gave his number to Zheng. But, quickly thought of Felicity.
"Hello Kris, It's me Zheng... I don't mean to call out of the blue but, I was just attacked by Yinkong. I'm just calling to let you know that I need your help. She's too fast, and she's using a technique that allows her to move faster everytime she changes direction."
'So, she followed my advise. The skill must be Accel Turn.' thought Kris.
"She was able to stab me in the heart, thank goodness for my vampire bloodline. I survived but, she was able to run away. So please come help me..."
"Zheng, I can't at the moment. But, I'll send you some help. Remember the guy from the military, that was on the bus? His name is WangXia, he has orders to follow Xuan's instructions. His a good scout, perfect against an assassin."
"He will be able to help you catch Yinkong, and just a tip, watch out for unsuspecting birds. Lan might be watching you right now."
"Thanks for the advice, and I'll send some thugs to pick up WangXia. Just give me your address."
Kris gave Zheng his address, and went to the other suite to tell WangXia.
When he got back, Clear wasn't there on the sofa anymore. Kris was worried she would commit suicide. Because of what she learned, earlier.
But, when he went in the bedroom to check the only bathroom in the suite. He was embraced from behind of what seemed like a now naked Clear that said,
"I need to prove to myself I'm not fake. That my whole existance is not fake. So just this once take me to bed..."
'Well, shyte how could I say no to that?! I just hope Felicity is going to be open minded about this...'
(A/N: I give credit on the Body-Mind-Spirit part to Standford University's Research paper on Dualism, it was very enlightening. Also thanks to DAIMMY, Hatake_Shirou, and KingOfInfinity for your advice. Hope you enjoy this chap...even though, it's sort of an info dump. Peace Out!)
