Neurolink System in the Modern World

"You knew what? And why didn't you tell me?" I asked her with a calm expression. I've seen so many deaths that this scene looks like a cartoon show to me.

"I thought you already knew, considering you're a powerful Gifted." She replied a sighed.

There was definitely something off about this girl. Did she believe she was all safe now?

"You're really something. You acted flustered when this guy controlled you, but you seem calm now," I pointed out the sudden shift in her personality.

Her face began to turn red, and I would be blind if I didn't pick up on these hints. Don't tell me she fell for me in this situation?

'I'm a hundred times more dangerous than this man, you know?' I mused to myself. She's acting all relieved just because I look handsome. Girls are really easy to fool; no wonder good-looking serial killers get away with their crimes too easily .

"Hey, I think there's a misunderstanding here , Do you think your safe just because this nobody is dead ? This guy did not even last a second against me you should be more worried," I talk to her with a cold tone while I leaned closer ,our faces only a few inches apart.

I could tell that her heart was starting to beat faster, her breath became more ragged and warm.

I know that I'm hot, but her reaction was really questionable. Maybe she was a masochist? Someone who enjoys being held down in the air like this?

"He's not the person I'm looking for. Now that I know he was from Nexus Legion, I'm pretty sure he was just a puppet of their leader. It's obvious after seeing his head explode," she replied with a disappointed look on her face. Enjoy more content from m-v l'-NovelBin

But her attempt to put on a brave front failed miserably; her blushing cheeks betrayed the mix of emotions she was feeling.

"Leader?" I asked without using my abilities.

I wanted to use my suggestion on her to make it quick, but I became more cautious. For all I know, her head might also explode if I force information out of her. So, I decided to talk to her normally for now until I'm sure that there was no danger.

"Weird that you don't seem to know a lot despite being this powerful, but I'll answer your question for saving me," she replied as if she was doing me a favor.

Yeah, this woman was definitely a tsundere. No wonder most tsundere in anime have messy rooms.

"Nexus Legion is one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Asia for the gifted. Its leader is currently the third strongest Gifted in Asia,"she began speaking.

"That's it?" I raised an eyebrow. I was expecting something more dramatic, like secret lairs and evil schemes. This sounds like a mediocre introduction to a B-list villain.

"I'm pretty low rank for an agent, so that's the only thing I know," she replied.

"Then at least tell me how powerful this leader is ? Or what his power is."

"I don't know much. But I heard he has the ability to control fire"

"Fire? That's it? That's the power of the 3rd strongest Gifted in Asia?" I burst into laughter at her revelation. I had expected something more formidable, like the ability to control gravity or create black holes, but fire? I could probably control fire myself if I put my mind to it.

She appeared confused and bewildered by my sudden laughter. Perhaps she expected me to be shocked after learning about someone who could control fire, but to me, it seemed rather unimpressive.

Compared to my Aegis Projection, Mind Link, teleportation, and Dream Manipulation. Each of my individual powers surpassed the abilities of the 3rd strongest Gifted in Asia, making the situation amusing.

"Why are you laughing? That guy is more powerful than you think, even Cerebrum can't do anything against him!"

"What can he do aside from arson?" I continued to laugh.

"He has the ability to set fire to anything within a two km radius." She exclaimed.

"Oh," I paused, after hearing two km.

A 2 km radius Area of Effect (AOE) ability was big. This meant that the guy could set fire to his enemies before they even got close to him. No wonder even Cerebrum didn't dare to approach him recklessly.

Well, in my current state, I didn't see him as much of a threat. With Aegis Projection to shield me from fire, I was confident I could handle him.

So after mentally noting the information about Nexus Legion, I shifted my focus to the information I really need.

"Where is the Cerebrum HQ?" I asked her.

"I don't know, " She quickly answer.

"You don't know, or You can't tell?"

"I don't know," She replied with the same response.

"Will your head explode too if you tell me?"

"Maybe,"

'This woman,' My patience was running thin.

She proved to be more stubborn than I anticipated, but with my unparalleled supreme intellect, solving this issue only required 20% of my brain.

"You will forget everything that happened here," I used my suggestion on her.

[Suggestion: Success]

The moment she heard my order, her face became blank, and I took advantage of this to give her another command.

"You will wake up in your bed in the morning and go about your usual routine until you reach your workplace," I commanded, then sent her directly into her own dream world.

I intentionally avoided saying "Cerebrum" to prevent any conflict with her memories, just in case something was affecting her mind.

My plan was simple; if she couldn't tell me, I would just simulate her daily life and figure out the location of Cerebrum in her dreams.

A person's memory feeds dreams, after all. Even if she was restricted from saying anything about it, she should still remember details.

'Now, show me the location of Cerebrum HQ,'
