The Geared Immortal

A familiar place part 2

/*unedited*/

Shin Jiao stood outside the window but suddenly stopped as he didn't know what to do next. Everything he did so far was from his subconscious mind and his muddled memories.

"What should I do next… This… this is dangerous." Shin Jiao muttered as he looks down.

He is currently standing outside a closed window after moving through the walls. At that time, it was like he was possessed by some unknown consciousness and stealthily crept on the wall.

Suddenly his attention was interrupted by some voices inside the room where he is standing.

"My dear, how was the experiment? Did we get enough data from that man?"

"Oh yes of course. His blood is very essential to our research. But I noticed that it's getting harder to penetrate his skin. Two days ago, I tried to insert a syringe but it was not successful."

"That guy is not human anymore. I've read from the report that a day before he was seen, he suddenly vanished in front of many agents who were supposed to grab him. But then the next day, he was found bloody and battered on the same street… I think something happened to him. We must get this technology no matter what."

"Don't worry, who am I? I am the Mantis, that guy was just some random agent who quitted the service before, while I am one of the top ten agents and assassin. He is not my match."

"That what I like about you… Hehe…"

"Humph… All you know is pamper me like this… Why not leave that old hag of your at home and be with me?"

"You know I can't do that… She… she still has her uses. Hihi…"

"Sly man."

While listening to the two's conversation, Shin Jiao realized what the two are planning. However, they have made a mistake. He heard them and has known their plans. So how could he let them go?

Suddenly, a plan entered his mind like it was normal.

Using his finger, he chipped some parts of the wall, and then after taking out thumb-size debris he carefully focused his concentration inside the room.

He then saw the two people inside started to kiss passionately. He already knew that the woman was the nurse who tried to abuse him while he was unconscious and the old man was the doctor. After concentrating and focusing he suddenly released a killing intent.

This immediately attracted the woman's attention. As a professional and expert killer, she is sensitive to these things. With a quick movement, she suddenly jumps and separates from the old man who was startled by her action.

She was sure that she can dodge that killing intent using this move. As the director of that killing, the intent is from outside the windows. She plans to hide in a blind spot. She didn't care about what would happen to the doctor as the old man was just her pass-time and partner in crime.

As she somersaulted she turned her gaze towards the window and saw a shadow standing outside. She immediately grabs the small portable handgun on her waist. But before her hand could touch the guns, she saw something flashing and breaking the glass of the window.

Peng!

A blood blossom inside the room along with brain matters and the body of a woman wearing a nurse's uniform fell lifeless to the ground. On her forehead, a thumb-size hole can be seen, while her eyes are full of disbelief.

She died without even closing her eyes.

Though her action seems to be fast and agile, for Shin Jiao everything was in slow motion. He was able to target her forehead easily and quickly flick the thumb size debris through the window glass.

Crash!!!

The doctor was filled with fear, as he saw the body of the woman on the ground. His hands started to shake with fear as he slowly turned his gaze towards the window.

There he saw a young man in his twenties. The familiar face and the familiar clothes made his heart skip a beat in fear.

"You… What… what do you want?" he stammered as he tried to push the chair backward.

The handsome face of the young man right now for him is like the devil closing in and threatening his life.

"Wait! Wait! Don't come closer. I… I can give you anything… money! Do... do you want money? I have a lot of it. Women… I… I can give you women. Beautiful women… Just… just don't kill me."

Shin Jiao carefully walks inside the room as his attitude changes. Turned to look at the dead woman, and a complicated feeling overcome him. He was calm at the same time nauseated. Although it looks bloody, it seems that his body is used to it.

He carefully sits on the chair opposite the doctor's table.

"I'm just here to ask you some questions. I want answers… If you lie, you die." Shin Jiao said with a serious tone.

"Tell me… who am I really? Remember… if you lie, you die."

The cold tone from that question, made the doctor shiver in fear. With hands shaking, the doctor slowly took out a folder from his desk and carefully handed them to Shin Jiao.

Without opening the folder, Shin Jiao subconsciously uses his absolute sense and saw what's inside. All the information was stored in his brain in just a few seconds as he began to understand what is written on the papers.

"So my name is really Shin Jiao and I am a former spy and a current head researcher in a government-owned laboratory… hmmm… This… this information… It seems that I have a relationship with a woman named Lan Li." He thought after reading through the information inside his head.

"Thank you…" Shin Jiao said as he stood up and walked towards the window.

Then as he was about to reach the window, the doctor's eyes suddenly showed ruthlessness as he pulled a handgun from under his table. He was really angry when he discovered the death of his favorite woman. But other than that, he could not let his specimen escape just like that. So he already decided to kill the young man and just harvest what he could from his cold corpse.

But before he can even lift the gun, he noticed that all of the strength within his body suddenly escaping then followed by his consciousness fading.

As his body slump to the ground, a tiny hole on his forehead can be seen leaking small droplets of blood.

…

Shin Jiao took his file and jumped outside. He evaded the guards walking around the military camp and exited stealthily. Although he has no memory of his past, his body can remember everything like a normal motor function.

"It seems that I have been a lot…" he thought as he stood atop a building.

In front of him lays a vast expanse of buildings and lights like magnificent scenery that lighten up the dark night.

"Where should I go next?" Shin Jiao thought as he looks at the folder and then with a thought burned it.

"This ability of mine and these memories of war and bloodshed… I think this is not normal in this world. Am I not from this world?" he thought as he just stood there and calmly stood his ground.

"I need a… cover?" he muttered as a sudden thought entered his mind.

While thinking, Shin Jiao suddenly heard something from a dark corner not too far from him. With his already enhanced senses and the open area, he can hear almost all of the sounds around him. While lying in the hospital bed, he has already trained to control this so that he would not be confused and pained with the influx of information around him.

But since the hospital room is sound prof his senses were restraint. However, now he can expand his sense up to 500 meters away from him.

Concentrating his hearing, Shin Jiao suddenly heard a small faint cry followed by a begging voice from the dark corner. The voice seems to belong to a woman. He wanted to not do anything about it but sensing something deep in his heart, he acted.

…

Inside a dark alley…

Eight young men are currently encircling two people, it seems that they were a couple.

The two young couple looks like they were rich people from the way they are dressed and the accessories they are wearing. However, it can be seen that the young man is already standing behind the woman who is looking at the men surrounding her with fear in her eyes.

She didn't expect that the young man she knew for a long time would invite her to talk in this dark alley and wanted to do something to her. But before anything could happen, eight men suddenly appear from the dark alley and quickly surrounded them.

The once fierce young man who was trying to abuse her suddenly turned tail and wanted to run. However, he was cornered along with her.

The young man sold her out to the men and pushes her towards the people. She wanted to run but her feet seem to feel as heavy as lead. And her body began shaking.

"Please… Please… let us go. I can give you all my money you want… How… how much do you want? I… I… I can give you even a million."

"Hehe… Little girl, we can get your money whenever we want to… Right now, what we want is you… If you spread your legs, this older brother can make you feel good… Then maybe I can make you my b*tch. Hehehe…"

Hearing the words from one of the men, she immediately despaired. Right now all she wanted is to run and escape this place. She truly regretted following her friends in this place.. But no matter how much regret she felt, everything was too late.
