They called the special tier in again for the third time in two week. You are just so tired of feeling all this needles under your skin for the nth time. The bruises from the previous session just makes them look like love bite and as if this is not giving you enough trouble, there is him. The fact that you are walking around town with him having those bruises created quite a stir.
Despite it all this guy does not even flinch! He still waits for you by your dorm to walk together to the headquarters. The reason he gave was that you might run away and cause problem. Like hell you would! Everyone here came here voluntarily on their own, did he not remember?! This is only the forth time you are meeting him and you cannot help but have the urge to request for an exchange of partner.
His Eyes just giggles every time they see you which pipe your interest in knowing what exactly is blackhole thinking. You glanced up to the masked boy walking beside you. He is perspiring… Why did he even think of waiting for your under the sweltering sun. There is convenience store everywhere, he could have just waited in one of them… The food nutrition on this city is almost non-existence. You can barely find any proper food store here, so you either learn how to cook or you run full speed towards death door—
You brought your finger close to his face and gave it a little whirl blowing cool air onto him. Him who was shock almost realised his power onto you. Feeling the murderous intent, you barely had the time to react, all you could do was close your eyes bracing the impact which never come. Instead you felt a tug on your finger and got pulled along. You hear the loud roaring laughter of his Eyes and yours from the back.
Your eyes fluttered open only to see that blackhole was dragging you along with that one finger. You were trying to hold in your laughter at how awkward yet funny blackhole was. Though among the jokes and laughter, jealousy is brewing within someone behind you.
There it is, the city’s only underground building. It has more than a 100 different levels, inhabited by the scientists and nurses. You have been trying to get past the security for this building for the past few times you were here. Something that really bothered you is that you have no idea how the scanning of the security actually works. They are not scanned by any cards or keys, in fact the door automatically opens for them when whenever they sense them.
The interior however is a whole new different story from the appearance of the building. It never gets old no matter how many times you have seen it already. From the outside, it is just a white concrete with just a glass door between you and this fascinating dreamlike room. The whole place was white and heavily decorated with chandeliers. Behind the reception stood the most stunning piece anyone will ever see. A sculpture of a dragon just “ripping” through the wall accompanied by a tiny human with wings resting on top of its shoulder.The looks of it is so real that you that maybe someone just froze the whole thing right there and then.
You know that its too good to be true that someone could be a full flight animal.The success rate of a human surviving pretty much non existence or so you thought. After signing in at the reception, you bid farewell to your Eyes as they are not allowed to entered into examination room with the both of you. Apparently they have access to every floor on this building too. The scientist did not want any of us using our Eyes to snoop around obviously, but this also tells you that they are definitely hiding something here.
Ding — Floor 60
This floor however gives you the creep. The whole floor is super rundown with dried blood everywhere just splattered down the hallway. It looks like as if a lot of people exploded into pieces but instead of cleaning it up they just left the stains there as if to serve as a warning not to go against your scientist. You unconsciously grabbed onto the rims of blackhole’s shirt as both of you tottered along the dimly lite hallway. There it stood in front of us, a red door but tainted with blood. Blackhole gave a few knock on the door before entering with you.
In contrast to the bloody hallway, Dr. Herod’s office is surrounded by an aquarium. YES AQUARIUM. FISHES AND SHARKS. Seeing the whole room just somehow instantly calms you down. The cool tone of reflected by the water that cast into the room just makes the whole place dream-like, almost as if you are really underwater. From what you heard, every scientist has a specific theme for their lab. In this case, Dr. Herod just really wanted to be a mermaid at a point, so he thought why not just pretend that he is in the water? You being curious and all asked why mermaid but the reply he gave was that—– He wanted to be handsome looking that is all…
As usual you two sat in the black couch adjacent to the furiously typing Dr. Herod. The whole room is pretty small with just a few shelves on the left and working desk on the right. You sank deeper into the couch waiting for Dr. Herod to start the painful process again when the door flung open. The other scientist came up to Dr. Herod and whisper something into his ears. As you try to tune into what their saying by changing the course of the air in the room, all that you could catch was,
“My …….. bugged… borrow…pen”
You were just super confused with what they were going about when you felt a tap on your hand. You looked at Blackhole and gave him a blank stare before blinking a few times. He nodded in the direction of the table where there it lies a very exquisite looking pen. Then it clicked. The access point.
