Neurolink System in the Modern World

"Please, can you be serious?" Her voice turned cold, but at least she seemed less nervous now.

"So, what exactly are we dealing with here? Did you offend some deity or something?" I shifted the conversation while maintaining a calm tone. I couldn't afford to let her see any fear in me.

Perhaps if I managed to save her, she might develop feelings for me, and that would be a win-win situation.

As for me dying? Well, I had so many hidden trump cards up my sleeve that I was pretty sure I could survive this ordeal.

"Only someone like you would do that," she replied, her expression dripping with chilling atmosphere.

"Time Wraiths , this are beings that maintain the balance of time ." She explained.

The word echoed in my ear, and strangely, I didn't find it odd for something like that to exist. If people could really change the future or the past, it would create a paradox. So, it made more sense for something to prevent such occurrences in the name of order.

"Are they here for you?" I asked her. I hadn't done anything that could affect time, so it seemed unlikely that they were after me.

"Yes,' She nodded.

"Zayen also saw the future, but she wasn't targeted like this," I said, confusion evident in my voice. If merely seeing the future triggered these Time Wraiths, then almost all gifteds with precognition abilities would be punished.

"That's because of my request. The Time Wraiths are preventing me from telling you something because, unlike others, you can actually change the future if you wanted to," she replied with a sighed.

"This is all my fault," she added, her expression weighed down by guilt. Perhaps she was blaming herself for the deaths of so many people.

'This girl is too soft, 'I sighed to myself. There was no use in crying over others death . It wont change anything.

"So, how do we defeat these Time Wraiths?" I asked again, but before she could respond, another blinding white laser beam sliced through the air, forcing me to teleport again.

For some reason, I felt like they were only here to kill Sung Hei, not me.

"It wont stop until I'm eliminated . And we can't kill it," she replied with resignation.

"But if you die, then I won't be able to gain your power, so it would change the future, right?" I mused to myself, it just does not make any sense .

"That's not true. If I die today, you will automatically inherit my power," she added, her tone somber.

"I hate to admit it, but our powers and lives are connected to you since our birth," she said, her tone resigned as she accepted her fate. "So you can just let me be. You don't really have to save me," she added, before flying away.

The air crackled with tension as the laser beam pierce the air, larger and more menacing than before. It was clear that the Time Wraiths were serious in their mission, intent on eliminating her in a single strike.

*BLINK!

"What are you doing!" she exclaimed, finding herself in my arms.

"Just let me die. If you don't, they'll just continue to hunt me down and more people will be killed," she pleaded, her voice filled with frustration.

"Who gave you permission to die? I own you, so you can't die without my approval," I said, gripping her shoulder firmly and locking eyes with her. A blush crept onto her face, and her heart began to race.

"Idiot," she replied with a frustrated tone, but I could see in her eyes that she was actually happy.

"Calling me an idiot is like insulting 100% of the human population in the world, you know," I chuckled, trying to lighten the mood and make her laugh.

"I hate your guts," she said, rolling her eyes at me.

"By the way, with your ability, you could turn into anything, right?" I asked her, a plan beginning to take shape in my mind. The gears in my head turned as I mulled over multiple solutions.

"As long as it's not something over the top, yes," she replied, a hint of curiosity in her tone.

"Then can you turn into a sword?" I asked.

"A sword? Why?" she questioned, clearly puzzled by my request.

"Is it a yes or no?" I pressed.

"Yes , "

"Then transform into one, and make sure you keep your mind and soul intact," I instructed her firmly. She didn't quite grasp my reasoning, but with her fate sealed regardless, she nodded in agreement.

Unfortunately, the Time Wraith seemed to suspect something, and the white laser beam strikes became more frequent. I teleported from one place to another to dodge. I could have used my skill to absorb the attack, but I didn't even know where it was coming from, so I decided to keep my skill as a secret weapon.

As for Sung Hei, it was taking her a long time to transform, but slowly she was turning smaller and smaller, changing on an atomic level.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was really impressive to witness her power in action; it was way more powerful than my shapeshifting ability. Eventually, she transformed into a silver one handed broad sword with a beautifully crafted rose design on the hilt.

I held her in my hands and tested her weight, swinging her experimentally.

"Don't tell me you plan to use me as a weapon?" she asked in disbelief .

"Don't worry, I just want to try something," I reassured her with a mischievous grin, hoping to ease her concern.

With a dramatic act, I raised her, pretending to be a swashbuckling hero in an old adventure tale.

"Hya!" I exclaimed, as I swung the sword through the air with exaggerated bravado.

"What are you doing?" she asked again, clearly not expecting my antics.

"Just trying out my new sword" I replied with a grin.

"Stop playing around !" She exclaimed.

"Okay," I replied, and with a swift motion, I flung the sword into my black hole storage, watching as it disappeared into the void.

As the sword vanished, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at my genius plan

'Well, that's one way to handle things,' I muttered, feeling a sense of satisfaction at my impromptu solution.

As expected, I did not received any attacks again. It seemed that my 500IQ plan had successfully diverted the danger away from me.
