After hearing Daniel's words, the old man understood

”You are not in heavy arroup, and yet, you are clearly above thehest in rank here, likely a researcher Noould a researcher be needed here? At first, I thought that you were sent by the govern the virus in order to find informations, but you haven't showed a shred of interest despite seeing me test its thermal resistance This made me think that maybe, you knew already that it wouldn't have worked” Responded Daniel with a ree, if it wasn't forto a cooing to tellon here, or who you are?”
”Just nurturing a passion for the art of poisons, what's so bad about it” Responded the olda set of faintly yellow teeth
”Co any of us out We will all die here, show a bit of spine and answer the question at least” Said Daniel with a righteous tone He wanted at least that much information from him, and the best he could do, was to exploit his situation
”What the hell, why not I don't expect you to have heard of the group I belong to anyway The Poisonous Rose You can call me the Transparent Thorn” Daniel could see pride in the oldin The Poisonous Rose was certainly an honor
”How original” Muttered Daniel in a voice just high enough for the old man to hear, then added ”I bet that the other researchers are different colors of thorns, and they all study different kinds of poison And let me bet, the leader is a woman, and her nicknaroup's naine You should feel honored to have us test our work on your body”
Daniel shrugged his shoulders in indifference, and started looking at the bracelet around his wrist He then said ”Do you knohat this is?”
The old”I do And I also know that it is deactivated”
A smile appeared on Daniel's face, as he said ”True but do you think that this universal beacon would be enough to alert the guardian of this planet? I wonder what he would think about what you are doing”
With uneasiness evident on his face, the old ames until someone loses an eye! Hehehe”
As he finished speaking, the woman that floated in the air teleported next to the old , and iers
The very next moment, a portal that lead to a completely different world appeared
Before the old h, Daniel said ”Hold on!”
The old man turned to look at him in silence
”The antidote”
The ser, until he said ”You're a fun-”
”Or I'll do all I can to wipe your group of poisonous insects to extinction” Added Daniel before the old , and his words sounded like a promise
The brows of the old h the portal, which closed after he crossed through it
Daniel's fist were shut tightly His fingernails close to penetrating his skin and fro blood He then turned to look at the visibly sick people, and found hi to help
He quietly went to sit on the bench which he had occupied earlier, and closed his eyes
For the next few hours, Daniel heard the noise of people dropping on the ground, one after the other The , the wo couple
He si for athat described a quest that had never appeared Saving these people was simply impossible, to a point where even the karmic system did not have a way
The only person that had survived, was Der, which thanks to his boosted speed of recovery, was able to survive the virus
Daniel opened his eyes after ten hours spent quietly He got up on his feet, and teleported the entire area in quarantine, into an empty space inside one of his pocket dis, corpses Everything itched, including the two of them
Once inside the pocket dimension, Daniel teleported himself and Der into a third pocket dimension, burned their clothes, showered with clean water, healing essence, and every other way he could think of, and then, teleported back outside of the pocket dimensions
The area around thes, no air, not water No ground Nothing whatsoever
He looked hatefully at the ring which contained the space the part of city under quarantine, and crashed it under his foot, causing that dimension to be lost forever into the void
What orse, was that when the woman had left from the portal, the barrier she had create to quarantine the area, had disappeared
Daniel could do nothing but recreate the barrier himself And keep everybody in quarantine in order to avoid people fro the virus
