Dropped Like A Dead Person - Chapter 23 Confessions
{Master, your mom has a point a point, there is no way we can kill every cultivator!}
System you are truly a fool, I think you misunderstood something if a cultivator is not a cultivator can someone can call them a cultivator?
{Your goal is to seal the heavens!}
“That’s right you can call me Meng Hao!”
{So, master what is more pressing dealing with Mark and Kyle, or Kaylah?}
“Well, the truth is Kaylah’s clan cannot touch me let. The video, and that my dad is stage 10, now it would be stupid for them to get rid of me.”
“I need to focus on building forces, perhaps I should introduce Mark and Kyle to cultivation unless I can expand the system to them?”
{Master I recommend having them cultivate.}
I see your point cultivation in and of its self is not the sin I’m fighting, it’s the pursuit of power, that is the issue.
There are 10 known areas that produce magic stones, we should investigate those, perhaps we can find a connection that links them all together.
{Master if what you say is true perhaps there is a way to break the connection from earth to the heavens, and not let magic energy into this planet anymore.}
Anything is possible, if there is no link, we can try to get Mark or Kyle they can learn to stage 11 and see if we can progress from there.
{In, short we need a plan}
Yes, lets talking with Mark, and Kyle about this and see where they stand.
[Group call]
Hey guys, you busy?
No, Mike what is going on?
Let’s meet up, at my place, we should have a serious chat.
What can we say when you put it like that?
See you guys soon.
[Calling Kaylah]
“Hey…”
“Hey, Mike…”
“Kaylah, I think we should talk are you free tonight?”
“Michael for you I’m always free.”
“Is that a confession?”
Perhaps, make a move and find out.(what did I say?)
“I’ll try to work up the courage, tonight see you later!” (What the fuck just happened?)
Kaylah-(Does he like me? As well?) (I do not understand!)(He, should hate me!) I mean, he is so talented, not arrogant unless he gets upset, but really who would not be upset in that situation, I cheated first, while I know he was slowing me down; the thing is he stopped midway!
Why, can’t I be a normal girl!
———————————-
{Maybe she likes you?}
“Fuck if I know.”
{That’s women.}
True!
{So Mike, how do you feel about her?}
Ehh, earlier I was mostly upset because of the cultivation stuff, but I do not really have an impression of Kaylah right now. Whatever time to deal with the guys!
————————————–
Hey guys been waiting for you! I even asked Kaylah out tonight!
Mark, and Kyle both replied, “You’re making a move on her!”
Mike explains everything, from the system to his powers, the reason he kidnapped the CEO. Mike had even put on a show with his powers.
Mark and Kyle ask for a second to react, it was just too much information, they even had Mike play league. He won 10 matches in a row! One should know league is a 10 player game in a 5v5 format, the odds of winning 10 in a row are insane, and since these where ranked matches, no cheating could happen.
Mike showed his powers to his friends, the only thing he left out was information about his mom and dad, as he did not have permission to talk about that. They knew Mike, was not lying about anything, but they did not know how to help.
Mike told them, to wait for him to return with Kaylah, and everything should be clear.
———————————————–
After, chatting with Mark and Kyle, Michael heads out to meet with Kaylah.
Hey, Kaylah thanks for meeting me this late. (This is far more awkward than I thought, o well I will just overwhelm her with information.) (First, let’s show her that cultivation is not power.)
“Kaylah, you know about the cultivation world right, but do you know about the mortal world?”
“Michael, what do you mean? (How sad this is not a date, but it does not matter no matter what I will confess!)”
“If, I shot you with a gun would you die?”
“Yes, Michael, I would have to be a higher stage to become bulletproof.”
“What if I hit you with a rocket when you are at the higher stage?”
“I’d have to become even stronger.”
“How many people make it to this stage you are talking about from what I can guess you are a stage two cultivator correct?”
“Yes, I’m a stage, two cultivator, at dealing with a rocket you would have to be stage 5 or higher, a stage 7 cultivator should be able to deal with many rockets.”
“How many cultivators die before reaching this stage 7?”
‘If I was to guess around 70%.’
”How many people have the average stage 7 killed?”
“I do not really know I’d guess around 10.”
“In, short it takes 11 people’s lives to deal with one rocket. Yet a mortal earns around 50k a year which is the cost of a rocket.”
“Can you understand the power of mortals?”
“If you put it like I have surely underestimated normal people, but I think cultivators are stronger.”
“Really, how many cultivators can deal with a nuke?”
“As of now, 30 that I know of there can be a few more hidden.”
“Kaylah, how long does a 10th stage cultivator live?”
“Around 50k years.”
“In 50k years do you think a nuke is the strongest weapon humankind will have?”
“That is very unlikely…”
“That’s right Kaylah, cultivators are the way of the past, real power is innovation and medicine.”
“I understand your viewpoint and, in some ways, I agree, but what are you telling me all this for?”
“Kaylah before that fight me again, this time use your cultivation!
“Michael, you can’t win!”
“O? How about this if you win, I will do anything you request, I’m sure you would like for me to train you right?”
“That’s true Michael, but this is stupid!”
“Shut up and fight!”
“Michael attacks, Kaylah she quickly dodges and yells Michael please stop!”
“Defeat me, attack with your cultivation, or I WILL leak everything!”
“Kaylah, in all her rage, attacks Michael with her power, suddenly she can’t stop it she has just killed.”
“Mike, as there is no way he can dodge it! Why! However, it was not to be as Mike used his power and Kaylah was on the floor, Michael used his magic to move out of the way, and then used Kaylah’s own momentum, as he tossed her on to the floor and stepped on her neck…”
“Do you understand Kaylah? Cultivators are weak!”
“Michael how! Why!”
“Kaylah, if you promise to help me end the world of cultivators, can I answer that for you.”
“Why do you want to end it?”
“Kaylah, have you ever thought of being a normal girl?”
“All, the time even more so recently…”
“Do, you know why we both hid our powers from each other?”
“Fear, Michael fear of death. Mortals fear cultivators; just as cultivators fear mortals.”
“That’s right Kaylah if, you were not afraid of the government would your clan really let me live? We are all controlled by fear! It’s time to rise above it all, to destroy the chains that bind us! To destroy the heavens! I want to live us to live in a world of freedom!”
“Even the strongest cultivators have fallen to plots, it even kills unborn kids in such plots! Because in the world of cultivation, there is always someone stronger! You might have heard about an 11th stage, but there is still a 12th and 100th there is no end to the power grab!”
Take my hand and destroy this world’s link to the hell that is cultivation!”
“How Michael, how can you end it all! Tell me!
“Let’s find out together Kaylah.”
