Is My Life Ordinary? - Chapter 105

*Shoot*

“I t-told you… it won’t end for you,” he said as I turned around and saw him standing with a smirk on his face while I was beginning to feel numb.

Before my vision darkened up completely I saw a dart right at the center of my back.

*Thud*

…

“Wake him up,” I heard a voice.

I tried moving but apparently, both of my limbs have been tied up.

What’s happening?

“Yes, sir,” I heard a few footsteps.

*Splash*

*Slap*

*Slap*

“Oi, wake up…!” I don’t know who they are but it was certain that I am not in a great place.

“… What…?” I said as I slowly opened up my eyes.

Oh.

As I was about to open my eyes, I felt multiple bright lights at me.

And among them, I noticed a glimpse of something red. Is it an eye? Do people really have a red-eye color? Or is he wearing a lens?

“Who are you?” I asked as I hid my eyes from those bright lights.

Also, it was given. I was already trying to free myself but I was strangled by someone expert. I can’t seem to find the knot nor the ending of it. How am I supposed to free myself from this?

Also, I am feeling a little numb. Was I drugged? I really think so.

The last thing that I remember is me getting shot by some kind of a dart. Maybe that’s when I was drugged. It looked somewhat similar to what they use as a tranquilizer on animals to make them sleep. It’s most likely that I was shot by a similar thing but with a low concentration of drugs or otherwise, I could have died or some kind of other things.

“Me? I really feel bad that you don’t remember me… Mr. X, or what few call me. Does that ring a bell? Not like it matters now, does it?” I couldn’t see the person’s face because of the way the lights were set but his voice.

His voice felt oddly familiar.

Also, my vision isn’t clear I could slightly make out his

“…” without knowing his exact location I instinctively looked at the direction the voice felt close.

“Allen, Allen. Your senses have dulled. Aren’t you out of shape…? I thought you wouldn’t change no matter the circumstance,” he said.

“Listen, Mister. I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said.

I looked around and it seems like my eyes have settled down a little. But I still can’t see past those flashes.

“It’s obvious that you don’t remember but don’t you feel like you know my voice, even a little…?” he said.

“!?”

How does he know that?

“Oh, judging by that reaction, I hit the mark then.” he said, “Tell me, Allen. You remember me, right, right?”

“I don’t think I should be answering this, no do I?” I asked him in a similar way he was talking.

“Oh, so you aren’t even fazed by the fact that you are abducted…? That’s good, that’s good. That’s how it’s supposed to be. 002, I was beginning to think you have forgotten everything but it seems like you haven’t,” he was talking in this weird familiar manner that was giving me the creeps.

Who is he?

“Who are you…?” I asked again.

“Again with that… you know that if I were to reveal my face you will have to die then,” he said.

What’s up with this movie line? If he wanted me dead he would have done that already.

“Really? Then what are you waiting for?” I asked.

“You see… I don’t want you dead. It’s not like I don’t want you dead but I want you for something else,” he said.

“Something else…?” I asked.

“That’s right,” he said, “You see, you weren’t the only one. There were multiple that were similar to you but they couldn’t handle it and died.”

Died? Who is he talking about? Was I also in that? I don’t get it.

“…”

“Anyway, we can talk about something like that sometime later. Do whatever you have been doing. Just make sure that you overcome it or else I have to dispose of you also,” he said in a not-so-friendly voice that he has been using till now.

“Overcome? Dispose of me? I don’t get it,” I said.

“Well, that’s one of the things that you have to overcome. Also, you must know this, I have eyes on you so try not to make a fuss about this,” he replied in his weird voice.

“What do you want with me?” I asked, “Are you the one who captured me and sent me to the island? Why did you do that? Also, did you do something in school also?”

“Hey, hey. Aren’t you asking way too many questions here?” he said laughingly.

“Answer me,” but I wasn’t in the mood for a laugh.

“You need an answer. Here you go,” he said, “Yes, I have infiltrated your school. How many or who, it’s up to you to find. But I can’t assure you they won’t attack you. So, if I were you I would keep a constant check on my back.”

“…”

“Also, the one who kidnapped you along with 50 others was also me,” he said.

Even though I can’t see his face I knew for sure that he had this huge smirk on his face.

“Why? Why did you do that…? Where are the rest of them?” I asked.

“It was just an experiment. An experiment to know the limits of the human body. We needed to know at which point a person could break completely. Was it the time when he faced death or was it the time when he lost hope? Or was it something more physiological? All of this had to be done in order to make a perfect human being,” he said.

“What? Aren’t you out of your mind? Experimenting with students illegally?”

“You don’t understand. The brain of a child is in its evolving phase. If we were to alter it and make it function more efficiently, it would be the greatest invention one could make,” he said, “The only problem humans face is that they have this certain part of their brain that is occupied with emotions and some useless thinking.”

“Still, you are crazy,” I said.

“You can call me whatever you want but the world will know that what I have created is going to change the way things have been till now,” he said proudly.

“Aren’t you just acting on your emotions right now?” I asked him.

The way he is talking isn’t just a person stating facts, but rather a person who is expressing himself. Even though he is crazy but emotions are still there.

“No, no. Don’t confuse this with emotion. It’s passion.” he said, “So, I am just going to wait for that to happen. Even if it makes me look evil I will accomplish it.”

“Wait… you are from HYDRAs,” I said.

“Yes, that’s right. We are from HYDRAs,” he replied.

“Aren’t you a criminal organisation? Why indulge yourself in crime then?”I asked.

“Do you really think what I am doing is legal? Of course not. So to get funds, we use methods that get us money fast,” he said, “Also, it is fun to see the other person plead and beg for his life. That also added as an experience, you know? The point of mental breakdown.”

Isn’t he just a psychopath then? I mean who gets pleasure while watching the other person suffer?

Also, what’s this about that brain thing? Does he really want to eliminate emotions from a person’s body? Is that even possible? I mean doesn’t have emotions make us humans and not some robot?

*Beep-Beep*

*Beep-Beep*

“Oh, I guess it’s time to part ways, Allen.” he said, “I hope to see you soon.”

“Well, I certainly don’t want to meet you ever again,” said.

*Baam*

Something hard hit my head and I slowly felt a little drowsy and lost consciousness again.

…

“Allen…!” I heard a familiar voice calling out to me.

“…” I tried opening my eyes.

“Oh~ Thank god…!” It was the Principal looking at me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as I tried to move.

“Ah-” my legs hurt. What happened to them?

“Don’t move. It’s been bruised up,” she said as she extended her arm around me. Helping me stand up.

“When I saw you running in front of the school gate I knew something was wrong but it was made perfectly clear after I saw a couple of cars behind you,” she said, “But I was too late.”

Where are we?

“This is my home,” she said, “You were lying unconscious at the Central Parks parking area.”

That place? They must have dropped me off there.

“Lily was also there. What happened to her?” I asked as we continued to walk.

My vision was slightly blurry so I couldn’t make out exactly how my surroundings looked.

“Don’t worry about that,” she said as she placed me on a chair, “Apparently I was able to catch up to her. But I wasn’t able to reach you.”

“Oh…”
