Neurolink System in the Modern World

"You're too cautious, OPPA,"

"And you're reckless," I shook my head. This girl was far too carefree for her own good. She seemed to believe her speed could get her out of any situation, but there were numerous ways someone could counter her.

"Just get on your car, and follow me," I ordered.

"Okay," she nodded, then turned away from me to return to her car. I waited for her to reach her vehicle before making my move, ensuring a safe distance between us.

After confirming that the surroundings were secure, I instructed my driver to take us to a quieter location on the outskirts of the city.

The crowded city restricted my ability to fully utilize my powers due to the risk of causing a commotion. However, in the outskirts, I could unleash my abilities more freely, providing a safety net in case of unexpected events.

"Now, let's talk," I broke the silence as I leaned against a tree. The moon cast a beautiful light on the darkness, and the cold air added an enigmatic atmosphere to the scene.

"Wait, Oppa, I think it's better for me to introduce myself. You still don't remember my name, right?" she replied.

'Her name? So, she doesn't know that I can see her status through my Mind Eye?' I made a mental note of this discovery.

"Sure," I replied with a nonchalant face.

"My name is Rei Mei," she introduced herself with an energetic smile.

"Okay," I nodded.

"Okay? That's it? you're such a meanie, OPPA!" she pouted her cheeks, as if she was expecting me to praise her for telling me her name.

"Just stop wasting my time and start talking about what you know," I shook my head. This girl was too talkative, acting like those annoying female leads in romantic stories that never end up with the main character to begin with.

"Do you hate me, OPPA?" she asked with a saddened expression.

"You're too noisy. The only time I want a noisy girl is in bed," I replied with a sarcastic joke.

"You haven't changed, OPPA. You're still a pervert like when we were young. But it's okay because I'm yours to begin with," she smiled seductively at me and started walking forward.

"Just keep your distance if you don't want me to attack you," I spoke with a firm voice. My faker ability was working like magic right now.

To be honest, my heart skipped a beat when she started acting flirty, but thanks to the faker, I was able to maintain a cool demeanor outside.

And what about me being a pervert when I was young? Surely, she was just messing around. How can my young self be that twisted? I remembered being a cute and nice boy in my childhood years.

"Alright," she sighed in disappointment, her expression turning into a cute pout.

"So let me give you a little backstory, first. Sister Alice, me and the others in the photos are your childhood friends. We used to play with each other all the time when we were undergoing our treatment from Aunty," She started talking, her tone shifting to a more serious and calmer manner, as if this particular topic was important to her.

"Treatment? You mean you also have a mental disorder like Alice?" I inquired.

"Do you remember Sister Alice's sleepwalking?" she asked.

"No, I just heard about it from her sister, Alyssa,"

"Oh, Sister Alyssa! She always came with Alice back then," she replied with a smile.

Her story checked out with Alice's story, so at least now I knew that she was telling some truth.

"This foundation was founded by my mother, right? Why?" I asked.

She paused for a moment to contemplate.

"I don't know the full story, but I'm sure Aunty was doing it for you," she replied.

"Doing it for me?" I asked with a confused look. I never recalled having a mental disorder. In fact, I started becoming crazier after I got the system.

"My memory is a little bit hazy, but Aunty always reminded the six of us back then that you're special, and that everything was for your sake," she answered.

'Mom did?' My mind raced to think of possible explanations for my mother's actions. If I trust her words, does it mean that the six of them are meant to help me?

"Can you tell me more about my mom?"

"I can't. It's not that I don't want to, but the oath we made to Aunty back then is restricting me," she shook her head.

'Oath? Is this the same as my suggestion?' I mused to myself.

They were immune to my suggestion, so maybe they were already under a skill with the same function as my skill. If that was the case, then maybe my power really came from my mother. But what about the system?

"Do you know about the system then?" I asked her.

"System? What's that? Is that a type of game or something?" She replied with a clueless face, her voice sounding innocent and cute.

'She doesn't know about the system? She is either lying to me or she was really clueless about it. '

"How about your speed? How did you move that fast?"

I wanted to understand the logic behind her speed. If she refused to tell me, it meant she was wary of me discovering her weakness. If she genuinely intended to help me, there shouldn't be a reason for her to be cautious.

"My speed? Well, it's the ability I awakened after Aunty opened the door for me. It allowed me to travel at the speed of sound by snapping my fingers as a trigger," she replied instantly, without a hint of hesitation in her voice.

"That door again? So that door was not exclusive to me?"

"I don't know. But I'm pretty sure your door is different," she replied.

"How can, you be sure?"

"Well, it's because you are the …" Suddenly, her face contorted.

"My.... head… hurts!" Genuine agony crossed her expression as tears streamed down her face. She knelt to the ground, clutching her head as if grappling with an unseen force.
