Chapter 346: Subconsciouness (2/2)

That was how she had been doing things this whole time. And there was this promise where Kai preferred to see the others sad for a few years than their whole life just because they had no human children. Even if they said they accepted them, there would be rejection on a subconscious level that thought of it as disgusting.

She feared that the most, so she was a bit weak on this matter despite the belief of Kai succeeding.

Kai, on the other hand, was falling into his subconsciousness as if he was falling down at low speed.

'What is this? Where am I? Why can't I open my eyes? Why am I falling like there is no gravity here?' Many questions appeared in his mind as he tried to move his body but to no avail.

In the end, he chose to rely on his ears, albeit the result was practically the same or even worse. He couldn't hear a single noise in this as if there was nothing existing in this place. For him, who had grown up with noises echoing in his ears every single second, this emptiness completely baffled him.

The anxiousness grew inside his heart as he felt something was wrong.

'I need to do something, but I don't have any clue. Teacher told me that she didn't know what would happen and what I would encounter in my subconsciousness, so what should I do? Is this what it feels when you are in a coma? You can't hear and do anything, only thinking like this for a long time. No wonder there is a huge difference between before and after coma.' Kai thought.

While thinking about all the useless things that appeared in his head, he gradually felt that his body fell slower. Not long after that, he felt his back touching something.

He then regained his ability to move, albeit slowly like moving on the moon. He slowly opened his eyes and prepared for anything he needed to face.

What he found was nothing but blank space. Everything he could see was black with some bright spots around him.

”This…This looks like I am in outer space. It's dark, but the stars are shining. What should I do here?” Kai muttered and looked around while checking his body. ”There is nothing wrong with my body. It's the same specs like when I went into the simulation room using the Training Tube. Should I explore a bit?”

Even though he wanted to explore, he didn't know what to do. Looking at his feet, he found that he was stepping into nothingness.

There was only empty space there, but it felt like there was a solid platform supporting his feet, so he didn't fall anymore.

”Still, I can't believe what I see in my subconsciousness. Teacher said that this technology was similar to that of a training tube that sent one's consciousness to the virtual world. However, she tweaked it a little bit to change the virtual world into my subconsciousness.

”I never expected there would be something like this in my mind. Wait. Did my teacher just achieve a scientific breakthrough with just this research? No, how would she know there was a space like this inside me? Did she test it on herself first before using it on me?” Kai's face turned pale, feeling helpless.

”It seems no matter how hard I try to repay all her kindness, it wouldn't be enough.” Kai closed his eyes and smiled. ”If there is another life, I would love to be your biological son.”

Thinking like this, something jolted his mind as if there was someone calling him.

He looked around, only to find nothing. However, he didn't give up and shook his head, gathering his resolve once again. ”I need to focus. I can report and talk about everything to my teacher later. It's not like she wants another achievement like this since the government will just take it from her hand once more. That's why I will gather all the information here first and tell only her, not anyone else, even the girls.”

With that resolve in mind, he stepped forward according to his feelings. He headed straight to the emptiness.

After walking for a few minutes, an altar suddenly filled his vision. The platform itself was quite big, around four times the size of a king-sized bed. The white pillar surrounding him looked majestic, but that was all.

He carefully approached the altar and found the lion there. To his surprise, instead of what he thought of a normal lion or a mutated one, the one he found was entirely different.

It had a normal yellow and cream color body, but he didn't find any fur around its head, but everything seemed normal until he saw two fangs sticking out of his mouth. The fangs were long and reached the bottom part of its mouth.

When it sensed Kai's presence, it gradually opened its eyes and turned its head around, finding Kai in his vision.
