Chapter 76: Vision Eye
.......
A weird expression surfaced on Yasuo's face, an expression of anticipation, anticipating the results of what he really came here for.
"Can I try an ability of mine? you know I'm a research hunter so I have an ability that helps in the field and I'd like to try it and don't worry, I won't move from my place not get close to him. "
Mirruc narrowed his eyes but didn't answer as he just sent a message with his phone and only about a minute passed before someone wearing a hazmat suit walked close to Mirruc and just stood there.
"The only reason I'm allowing this is because Netero told me to cut you some slack and that you'll not cause any trouble but if you try anything I don't like, you'll have to bear the consequences,"
While saying that, Mirruc lifted his hands and brought them together then gave the signal for Yasuo to do what he wants.
Morena stood close to Yasuo and just looked at him while keeping an eye on the other two in case they try doing anything to Yasuo while the latter just looked at this in amusement, 'Both are Nen users huh'
Suddenly without anyone even noticing, a dark purple crow appeared standing on his shoulders with a pitch-black vertical Eye on its face.
This is a benefit of Zero Vision, he can manifest it instantly no matter how big it is but he still chose something small because of the benefit to the Vision Eye ability making it small gives.
As the crow appeared, Yasuo's eyes turned completely white as he used his control domain to keep his body functioning.
He closed his eyes with the crow blinking once only for Yasuo to open them again while focusing his Aura in front of him with a small portal appearing right within the Aura.
He chooses for the destination portal to appear in the glass chamber though he seems to be taking his time as an action that would've taken him an instant to do looked like it would take him more than ten seconds doing so which gave more than enough time for Mirruc and the person in the hazmat suit to react.
The hazmat suit person only shouted one thing in a hurried tone, "Four!!"
That's all Mirruc had to hear before clapping his hands with a speed astonishing for someone his age.
In fact, his speed is quite remarkable as he seemed to have trained the clapping motion quite a lot.
The moment Mirruc clapped his hands is the moment both Yasuo and Morena disappeared from their place only to appear in a white metallic room.
"Well, what are you trying to do? even I'm confused about your actions," Morena asked wondering though what happened didn't seem to affect her as she just waited to see what he'll do.
Yasuo used his domain to scan all around noticing the room is almost completely isolated with just a 20 cm closed hole.
He also noticed a few small dolls scattered close to each other in the room with a signature written on them and this is all the information he needs as he just let out a small laugh, "My new ability is too useful and quite fun to use."
The moment he finished talking, time seemed to start rewinding itself as everything seems to go backward as Yasuo again opened his eyes noticing he is back at the lab.
He looked at the glass chamber with Mirruc just watching him carefully preparing to clap his hands especially keeping an eye on the crow on Yasuo's shoulder.
Yasuo observed this with amusement enjoying what he just experienced. He used the Vision Eye as much as he can since creating the ability and it never got old, he still enjoys the feeling he gets using it as much as the first time he did.
'So Mirruc has a teleportation ability and quite a good one at that, well it makes sense, he is a survivor of a dark continent expedition after all.
Though from what I saw, once he claps his hands, the people he wants to teleport will exchange places with the dolls so probably two dolls appeared in our places once we teleported to the room and he needs to write his signature on the dolls... It should be something similar,'
Yasuo narrowed his eyes thinking of another thing, 'The person in the hazmat suit is the one I'm not sure but she looked like she knew what's about to happen seven seconds before me doing what I planned on doing.
That's interesting, a blue-haired woman that seems to be in her late twenties, someone I don't know about but probably has an interesting ability, an ability that predicts the future... What a coincidence.'
'But it appears her reaction time is not that remarkable and the key is still Mirruc who is responsible for the teleportation so if I plan on creating a portal in ten seconds, when will she know I wonder.'
As he thought of this, Yasuo again closed his eyes as the crow blinked once, Yasuo started focusing his Aura in front of him only to hear the following once three seconds passed, "Four!!"
Instantly a portal appeared in which Yasuo's hand went through only to appear through the destination portal inside the chamber.
His hand became sharp as he cut the infected person's hand and took it back with him and only then did the clasping sound resounded with Yasuo and Morena disappearing and two dolls appearing in their place.
Anger could be seen on Mirruc's face even though he managed to stop the disease from spreading as he started yelling in exasperation.
"Dammit!! Just what was Netero thinking making me believe that he won't cause any trouble! Does he realize the possible consequences this could've lead to!"
He continued to shout for a few seconds before making a few orders to the person next to him and as he was about to start a phone call, time stopped and seemed to rewind itself.
As Yasuo appeared in the white room, the first thing he did is creating an amplification domain around the infected hand and the place he is touching it with. He observed closely how the Zobae disease behaves and what it actually is.
And what he observed brought a glimmer of light to his eyes as his interest in the disease peaked noticing its peculiarity.
Numerous microorganism that looks similar to an octopus with three long tentacles except for its light blue and quite slim and instead of the usual octopus head, it has a sunflower-like shape.
The disease seems to already start spreading all over his hand, the same hand he is touching the survivor of the Zobae disease's hand with which leads him to believe that the disease spreads through contact...
Yet there is still a composed smile on his face, the fact that he is infected with such a fatal disease didn't seem to faze him and the same could be said for Morena who is watching what he is doing with interest.
What interests him the most is how the disease multiplies. Each Zobae organism seems to attach itself to a single cell by using the three tentacles to grasp the cell firmly.
The three tentacles are extremely long relative to the organism's size which allows them to surround the cells holding them tightly.
What comes next is much more interesting as the organism starts consuming the Aura in the cell slowly and from what he observed after using his amplification domain on the hand he took.
It appeared that once the organism absorbed enough Aura, it spurts a small Zobae organism from the disk on its head but the most important thing it does is creating and spurting stem cells continuously as it absorbs more Nen from the cell.
This explains the infected person's extraordinary regeneration since Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body.
They serve as a repair system for the body which means faster regeneration because of the massive amounts of stem cells the infected person has and possibly regenerating whole body parts.
Once a new Zobae organism is born, it fights the mother organism for the ownership of the cell though most of the time.
The new Zobae organisms lose but not before causing some damage to the cells they're fighting for.
And the Zobae organism in control of the cell is responsible for healing the cell but the healing process is quite slow.
This is all of what Yasuo observed and concluded from his observation and all he needs.
He opened his eyes and the first thing he did is noting just how massive the Aura consumption is for using Vision Eye.
'Using it for seeing 20 seconds into the future consumed more than 5% of my total Aura amount huh. Well, it's not bad, I'm just too greedy.'
This is something Yasuo found about Vision Eye, the further he sees into the future or the past, the higher the consumption becomes so the first ten seconds consumed less than the last ten seconds and the consumption will only continue to grow.
......
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.
