”This information is top secret, even I wasn't told-” the soldier paused immediately as he saw Jay pulling his katana out again.
”Please, I really don't know the details, I just know that people like you are called innovators, and apparently your friend was also one and he was transported to a local helicopter pad to be taken to a hidden military base. I really don't know anything else,” the soldier immediately spilled what he knew.
Alex was also an innovator, like him? Jay was only getting more confused by the answer.
”Tell me, what are innovators,” Jay paused for a second and asked.
The soldier was also a bit confused too, not expecting a higher level innovator that could stomp their squad captain, Mr. Kitzu, to not know about what they were.
”Sir, I will tell you everything I know. Innovators are basically humans with enhanced spirit power, with a body capable of producing GN particles. The spirit essence from your body fuels the production of GN particles, and those particles can be used for different purpose. For example, what you just did earlier was, you coated your katana with crimson-grade particles, making it a lot sharper than normal. Mr. Kitzu coated his body with the particles which functioned like an armor that can deflect bullets, and he also learned how to heal wounds with the particles. I heard the GN particles have a lot of other functions, but I swear I've told you all I know, can you let me go please...” the soldier pleaded.
”Get out of here. His backup is on the way. He didn't get a chance to reveal too much about you over the radio before we came, so yeah, you should probably kill him, unless you want the whole world to know about your power and hunt you down,” the dulcet voice sounded again from the depth of Jay's mind.
”Wait, aren't you napping,” Jay thought.
”I changed my mind, okay? Just finished eating the spirit essence snack here. You can't nap right after you eat or you will get fat, don't you know?” The voice sounded again.
”Oh, you can hear me without having me to speak out loud? Awesome, now I won't look like a weirdo when I'm trying to communicate with you.” Jay let out a sigh of relief and popped a bullet into the soldiers' head.
”Jay...” Elon and Christian didn't know how they should feel.
”He has backup coming and he has information on all of us. We already lost Alex, we can't afford to take any more risk. Showing mercy to our enemies is being cruel to ourselves,” Jay said as he went into the van and scavenged for any supplies.
