33 Twisted Emotion 2 (1/2)

When your hunger is sated, your eyes scan around the restaurant once more.

You are looking for another volunteer.

The volunteer is for your rather unethical experiment.

With the first experiment is a reasonable success, you want to know what would happen if the string is forcibly severed.

Despite its incredibly elasticity, the string can be ripped apart if enough force is applied.

You have theorized several possibilities in the event the string is snapped.

None of the possibilities are dangerous, at least not to you.

However, theory is one thing, and in practice is another.

You want confirmations.

As you look around the room for a victim or two, you take notice of a young chestnut-haired woman around twenties watching you like a hawk.

It is not hard to notice her, considering the woman did not hide the fact of watching you.

She is sitting not very far from your table.

You didn't notice her entering the restaurant as your table is close to the entrance.

This means that she has been in here the whole time.

You did not avert your eyes from her.

Instead, you narrow them as if it is a challenge to a staring contest.

As she is a looker, you quickly strip away her clothing with your x-ray power.

The view instantly becomes more pleasant.

Her breasts are in a perfect shape, being hold up nicely by the now-invisible undergarment. Her body is lean and well-toned, not too white or too tanned.

She must have worked out often or is very active in her lifestyle. This is evidenced by the Strength and Endurance numbers on her attribute window.

Those numbers are above average.

In fact, most of the numbers on the attributes window are above average.

Her skillset is insanely long. Most of those skills will lands her into hot water.

You honestly didn't know Stalking is a skill.

Since the table she is at is blocking half of the view, you could not see below her muscular stomach.

The woman returns your gaze, scanning you up and down as if she could see through your clothing.

You know that shouldn't be possible. You're the one and only with this kind of power.

Even so, you feel a coldness running down your spine, forcing you to avert your eyes.

She gives a smile when you just forfeit the staring contest.

You roll your eyes and return the smile.

She drops the smile and then continues to watch you conspicuously, all while enjoying her soft-drink and her pizza.

She will not stop watching you, and you did not like being spied on.

The string coming out of her body and connecting to you is grey in color.

She is obviously not interested in you sexually or affectionately.

Bummer!

You have never seen her before in your life. Thus, her suspicion must have been from something you had just did in the restaurant.

You take a glance at the toilet with several men ear-dropping on the fun before letting out a sigh. She must have saw something when you were playing around with Ashley's emotion.

Of course, she couldn't prove anything because she couldn't see anything despite taking notice of your strange behavior.

Hence, that is why she is watching you very closely now, trying to catch you in the act.

Good thing that hand-held camera is stupidly expensive in 1991.

As a matter of fact, it is a great thing to be in 1991.

There is no mass surveillance camera in every street and building, and nobody have a smartphone and trying to record everything they did, accidently catching you in the act in the process.

You still have a good decade and half when it will become too dangerous to use your power, especially when you become the center of public attention.

That will happen since you are determined to dominate Hollywood and beyond.

With the System in your possession, you cannot fail.

Becoming rich and famous in the process is like a side effect of becoming successful.

You cannot avoid the fames and fortunes and envies in the future, so you will make contingency plans for it.

Standing in the spotlight too much will restrict your movement.
