170 Spiritual Side of Things (2/2)

Most Hydra members do have some sort of computer implant in their brain, especially when they are high-ranking members or members of the inner circle. It is not inclusive since inner circle are reserved for people I valued.

Alex and Hans aren't actually high-ranking members of Hydra since they do not oversee the day to day operation, but they are of the inner circle due to what they are researching.

Besides, I think Alex and Hans hate sitting down at the desk all day.

They are more practical.

Speaking of implants, none of the Hydra members working in Hydra Genetics have any kind of implants on their person. This is because they prefer biological augmentation to technological augmentation.

As for me personally, I do not really have any preference. Whatever works I suppose.

In fact, I do have more than just biological and technological augmentation. I have a bit of magical, at least in the form of enhancement rather than augmentation. I think I will add spiritual as well as psionic on top of everything.

I hope that is all of it. Oh. Cultivation too I guess once I get around to it. It is already pretty hard to kill me, but why not make it a lot harder.

With the direction from Selene, Allison and I quickly find ourselves outside and in the parking lot. We appear to have taken a different route than the one we had entered the hospital with since we didn't go pass through the front lobby.

There are more than one lobby at the hospital. It all depends on what kind of emergency is required, and like any hospital, Infinite Medical Center do dispatch ambulances.

I enjoy the afternoon with Allison, taking her to the park for ice-cream and then healthy lunch together in one of the skyscrapers.

My go-to restaurant is still closed due to a federal investigation. A lot of people have been arrested in the hunt for one of the biggest crime bosses of the century.

Me, apparently.

I obviously did not intend to build a criminal enterprise since it is better to build an actual enterprise, not to mention legal too, but I am the head of the criminal enterprise, nonetheless.

JJ – I am calling those two idiots that, have decided my position in their criminal network. It is mostly for scaring people, making them all think that their already frightening bosses is working for someone, who is likely to be a lot more terrifying than them.

The fear of the unknown is truly terrifying. It is more or less the same thing as the prestige group that Henry Oxford has built in order to form connection and keeping people in line.

But honestly, the Syndicate does sound nice.

After making love to Allison at her apartment, I decide to have a check on Zeus and Zephyr. The pillar of light has already disappear, so I assume whatever they were doing, they have already finished.

They are both watching television at the moment in the living room.

On the table, there are 16 black spherical orbs and 7 clear one. They manage to capture 16 spirits or something of sort. I still sense a lot of spiritual energy lingering in the air. It is more than previously as well.

”Hey, Max.”

Zeus calls out. Zephyr waves at me instead since her mouth is occupied with cakes. She seems to bake them herself from the state of the kitchen. Did she goes shopping?

”Hey.”

I greet back like a teenager. I also return the hand gesture at Zephyr.

”If you are curious about the light pillar thing a couple of hours ago, Max, just know that it is not really anything dangerous. It is more like an experiment, just to see if they show up. If they don't then there is nothing to worry about. If they do, well, it isn't anything you and I and Zephyr cannot handle. It also good for training too.”

Zeus tells me as he tries to steal a slice of cake from Zephyr, who freezes his hand. But unlike having a normal body, his hand doesn't get shatter. In fact, he can break out of the ice just by smashing it into pieces.

I am curious to who or maybe what Zeus is referring to.

”You will find out what I mean if you wait around long enough, Max. And if you are concerned about innocent bystanders, then don't, unless they are spiritually aware, but since no paparazzi shows up all this time, I don't think people in this reality can sense spiritual energy.”

Zeus is right, but that was a bit reckless. Of course, I didn't think he would something like this without relatively sure that he didn't cause a huge scene. But then again, he probably assumes that I can fix it all up if it has come to that.

How annoying.

”Whatever you do, know that I am not here to fix up any of your mess, Zeus. I trust you understand.”

I point out.

”Of course, Max. It is why we are allowed to wander your world freely or as freely as you can allow us to. You trust us, and I will not waste the trust you have placed on me. By the way, Zephyr and I will be binging Dragon ball. You want to join?”

Zeus questions.

”Why when I can live it?”

I response. I do have better things to do than sit here and watch anime. And besides, if I want to watch anime, I could watch it in my mind.

”Oh. Interesting. Well, whatever you prefer, Max. Oh, by the way, I only find 16 evil spirits. One or two might be hiding somewhere in the house, but you might have at least 4 or so evil spirits roaming freely in the world.”

Zeus informs nonchalantly, making me blink.

What did he say? Evil spirits? Wait. Did he release them? It didn't seem like the case.

And why is the spiritual energy in this place feels lot denser.

”Should I be worry?”

I question, referring to the evil spirits. Zeus did call them evil, and from what I can understand so far, soul get twisted when they spend time in the Nether Realm. In other word, they become evil spirits.

”Only if you have weak enough will be possessed, but I shouldn't worry too much about it personally. This reality is predominantly of Catholic faith, so the Black Order or some organization close to one is probably around to take care of those evil spirits.”

Zeus looks at me before chuckling.

”Looks like you don't know, so take a sit and watch some Dragon Ball while I explain about them, huh.”

Looks like Christina will have to stay back at the hospital for a bit longer. I did have some people to go and find her mother since I will not be adopting her.

Christina should be with her mother and her sister.
