Chapter 220 - Unfinished Business (I) (1/2)
It's the same dream again. I keep on forgetting this dream whenever I wake up but whenever I see it, I remember it again for some unknown reason. It was like it is purposely done for me so that I can only access this dream whenever I pass out. I don't recall this dream occurring whenever I sleep normally so the conclusion I got is that this dream only visits me during the time I pass out for any reason possible.
But still, even if I keep on dreaming this dream, I still have no means to find the real meaning of this since I will just forget it once I wake up. The girl would look at me and lightly smile before I will wake up from the dream. What a strange dream that was.
...
My eyes slowly open as I feel my surroundings moving. If I remember correctly, I definitely collapsed due to me forcefully awakening my ability of healing magic. Who would have thought it would be a really terrible way to learn it forcefully. I wander my eyes around the area around me and notice a few unknown people sitting side by side on both my side where I was lying down, male and female who were covered in white blanket. Among them is my father. When he noticed me waking up, he stood up from where he was sitting and immediately went to my side.
”Manato! You are awake! Are you alright? Do you feel anything bad on your body?”
”Father? Where are we?” I rub my eyes as my eyesight is still not that clear since I just woke up.
”We are inside an ambulance. The police have rescued us and we are going to the hospital for some checkups.”
I rose up from where I was lying and looked around. We are inside an ambulance. The people currently in here are those who were inside the cages when I met them. I just took a glance at them before I collapsed but I remember some of their faces so I can't be wrong.
”Did the police say anything? Regarding this incident?” I asked.
”Not yet. They are going to ask us some questions once the check-up is done.”
”Father, this is a big mess you have gotten into. You need to explain things to me after this on why you are involved in these troublesome things.”
”Yes, yes. I know. Don't worry, Manato.”
...
We were sent to the hospital like what my father said to me and all of us undergo a full body check-up. Since I didn't suffer any serious damage, I managed to go out immediately. And since I am the one who is not originally a victim but ”a trespasser who managed to witness a crime, the police immediately questioned me. And yes, they also questioned me about the real situation on what happened to the ”guests” and why all of them are dead and has been brutally killed.
From the looks of it, they didn't suspect me as the murderer of them. Not only that, they cannot pinpoint me as the murderer of them all since they don't have any pieces of evidence and they don't have any physical form of what the weapon used. There are two kinds of wounds inflicted on the people in that theater and that is the katana and the gun.
Since my alibi is that I managed to explore this place in an accident, I managed to dodge away all of the situations and they also thanked me for passing through the place and finding out the victims. If not for me exploring the place, the missing people will be forever missing without any closure on where they are.
At the end of the day, the only ones who will be left to the hospital after the checkups are all of the victims so that counseling and rehabilitation to their mind since all the happenings that occurred in the laboratory might induce severe trauma to victims. I am not qualified since I am not a victim but I am welcome to join if I feel something weird too.
The victims will not be allowed to leave the hospital for two days and visitation will be unavailable for the day for them. They will be allowed to be visited by other people after a day to ensure that they are now stable.
I went straight home. Although I learned the healing magic, I think I have to put the healing session with my mother on hold for a day. Since I forcefully awaken my healing abilities, I don't want it to go wrong once I perform the healing. To ensure that it is now safe to be used, I will have to slowly digest all of the things needed to do to fully stabilize it. If I do it outside of the game, stabilization will take a few days or more. I cannot wait for that, so I will have to stabilize it by playing the game. This will allow me to comprehend the healing magic and fully master it and also bring out its full potential since the game is the only one capable of doing that.
...
With my father still not out, and my mother still in a coma, I can only go home this time. When I arrived again inside the mansion, the teddy bear ghost is still inside the room and is currently doing some exercise. Since it doesn't need food and sleep, the teddy bear ghost seems to be using this opportunity to grow stronger. I doubt I can disturb this guy and I don't have any reason to disturb him so I went to the kitchen and eat some grub that I prepared in the afternoon.
