Neurolink System in the Modern World

\'Oppa, let\'s talk. This is about Aunty,\'

Stunned by her words, I felt like she was talking about my mother.

I\'m currently clueless about my mom, so it would be good for me to listen to her if she had any information.

Moreover, this girl already knew me, so escaping was no longer the best option since my identity was exposed.

\'I thought I could play incognito for a little bit longer,\' I sighed.

I\'m feeling a bit regretful, but at the same time, not that shocked. I already expected that someone would figure out about me sooner or later. Besides, I\'m stronger now, so I\'m pretty sure I could defend myself.

And even if she was stronger, I could still hold on using a number of life-saving skills. I also have a lot of skill points to spare, so I could adjust to anything.

But before talking to her, I had my crows check the entire area.

I wanted to make sure we weren\'t being followed by other groups because dealing with one person was different from handling a group of gifted.

Even though I\'m powerful, taking on multiple opponents could be risky.

After a couple of minutes, I didn\'t notice anyone who seemed suspicious. I even used my Mind Eye to check everyone\'s stats, and all the people currently en route with me had normal info, below average even.

"Find a safe spot too park the car," I commanded the driver.

The Uber driver parked the car in a less crowded parking lot, and I promptly exited the vehicle.

The decision to leave the car in a more open space was based on safety considerations. Being in a confined area poses potential risks.

After a couple of seconds, the car following me also stop

Then, the girl wearing the headphones exited the vehicle in a carefree manner.

There was no tension in her movement at all. I don\'t know if she was just confident in her power or if she was an airhead with no sense of danger. She was literally facing me, someone who might already be the strongest in Korea.

The girl continued to walk toward me with carefree manner, her headphones still playing a tune that only she could hear.

As she approached, I decided to take control of the situation. Focusing my mind power, I extended my telekinesis to restrict her movements.

"Stop right there," I commanded, my voice firm.

She paused mid-step, her carefree expression replaced by a curious one.

"Why so serious, OPPA?" she quipped, her voice carrying a teasing tone. "I just want to talk about Aunty. No need to be physical ,"

But despite her casual demeanor, I remained cautious.

"Start talking. But one wrong move, and these won\'t be the only things you\'ll have to worry about," I warned, tightening my grip on her.

I wasn\'t sure if she could see it, but at that moment, a giant invisible hand was holding her.

"Scary," she giggled.

"But you don\'t really need to be mean to me" she added and snapped her fingers.

Out of nowhere, I felt my hold on her burst like bubbles. Her nonchalant response indicated that my attempt to exert control had little impact on her.

\'Fuck!\' I cursed inwardly after seeing her break my Telekinesis just like that.

\'But how did she do it?\' I asked myself. I observed everything, and I did not see any energy manipulation at all.

I just felt that she vibrated for a moment, and it generated enough shockwaves to destroy the giant invisible hand.

Her abilities seemed to operate on a different concept as mine, leaving me intrigued and somewhat perplexed.

Of course, I didn\'t show it on my face; otherwise, she might think I\'m weaker than her.

"You know it\'s not good to break someone else\'s toy. I was going easy on you, but it seems that you don\'t know how to take a hint," I spoke in a cold manner as I leveled up Faker to level 10 and activated it.

This time, I copied a character with an arrogant and confident attitude. Now that the skill was more powerful, it was able to show the overbearing attitude of an OP character realistically.

SWOOOSH!

She suddenly jumped backward, finally realizing that she was in danger. The balance of power had shifted, and the tension in the air heightened.

"OPPA, no need to be too serious. I apologize if I acted rashly," she bit her tongue and tried to look cute, her tone carrying a playful and girly vibe. Her demeanor shifted noticeably after I made it clear that I meant business.

Well, if I\'m being honest, she was really cute. She\'s petite and thin, and her face was small and attractive, with a distinct touch that leans more towards Japanese features than the typical Korean look. Thinking about it, her name also sounds Japanese.

"What do you want? And how did you know about me?" I asked her.

She paused for a moment.

"Oh, you still don\'t remember, OPPA?. We knew each other back in the foundation. Did you forget about me? We used to play around with the others," she asked, adding a touch of familiarity and longing on her words.

"Foundation?" I repeated the word. It felt familiar, but I couldn\'t remember anything. Then it hit me – Alice also talked about a foundation. Could these two be related?

"So, you still haven\'t opened the door yet?" She sighed.

"What door?" I asked but didn\'t complete my sentence. The first thing that came to my mind was that door in that dark place, but I would be an idiot to tell her that.

"I can\'t tell you much because you haven\'t opened it yet; Aunty would be mad at me. I really thought you would have already opened it after all this time. What have you been doing all these years, OPPA?" She asked with a confused look, as if she was not satisfied with my current progress.

\'This girl…\' I almost snapped at her. \'Calm yourself, Zyden. You\'re not slow; you\'re just being careful,\' I soothed myself.

She waited for my response, but right now, I don\'t know what to say. I couldn\'t tell her that I spent my time as a depressed NEET and only started getting stronger recently.

"Don\'t worry about it, OPPA, I know that you\'re powerful enough to help me." She broke the silence.

"Help in what?" I asked.

"Help me save, Sister Alice!"
