Multi-Gene

David was taken aback, unsure of what he had just heard. “W-what did you say?”

Hazel was quite patient this time as she repeated herself, “Promise to get a synthetic body for me. Humanoid shape preferably.”

This time, David didn’t know what to say as there was obviously something wrong with the conversation.

An AI asking for a Synthesised body, humanoid shape for that matter, its obvious something was wrong.

David’s eyes flashed as his thoughts spun rapidly. In the end, he breathed out softly and agreed.

“Okay, I promise to get you a synthetic body but there is no guarantee it wouldn’t take some time to procure something like that.” David replied with a slight frown.

“Hmm, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, as long as you fulfil your promise.” Hazel responded back.

“Alright, now that we’ve settled that, how can unlock the bag pack?” his voice a bit anxious.

“It’s not you who is going to unlock the bag, it’s me.”

David tilted his head sideways obviously confused. “Then how are you going to unlock it? I don’t think your program had such a function.” A bit sceptical.

“I told you I absorbed a bit of data from the worn down combat suit you picked up from the underground basement. I also gained a few knowledge and unlocking a locked bag pack is an easy feat for me. I just need something from you.”

David was a bit astonished and then was happy. “Okay okay, what do you need?”

“I require some of the owner genes in order to fully unlock this locked bagback.”

David’s mind turned blank for a second and he clenched his teeth tightly, obviously about to go into a rage, speaking through his gritted teeth.

“How do you then expect me to give you do owner’s genes when I don’t even know where to find him?”

“Don’t be agitated. There are some of his dried blood on your clothes. Just scrape them off you, mix them with a little bit of water so as to easily access a bit of his genes and place it on your imprint.”

David’s eyes lit up as he saw a bit of blood on his body. Although they were dried up, it should still be useful according to Hazel.

Scraping a drop away from his body, he mixed it with water according to Hazel’s instructions and placed it on his imprint before waiting patiently for Hazel’s reply.

A few seconds later, he heard a few clicking sounds in his head as Hazel spike softly. “That’s the blood of the lady you killed, its not that of a man.”

David blinked his eyes as he responded. “Oh, what about this one.” He scraped off the one staining his chest and mixed it wifb a drop of water before placing it on his imprint after he had cleaned the blood he had placed on it before.

Before a three seconds could pass by, David felt his head spinning as Hazel shouted in his mind. “That’s your blood dummy!”

“Alright, alright. You don’t have to shout so loudly in my head, Jesus.”

David looked at his body through the mirror. There was so much drops of blood on him, how was he expected to know which was which?

David sighed as he stretched his hands on his hair in frustration. Suddenly, he caught sight of a dried blood on his hands. He suddenly recalled the scene when he used blood arrow to injure Jared.

His eyes shone brightly as he immediately scraped the blood off his hand, did as Hazel had instructed him and placed it on his imprint.

He gazed at the air expectantly, waiting for Hazel’s answer.

A few minutes later, Hazel responded to him. “It was quite the work but, I was successful at editing the gene. Place your finger on the button, it should unlock this time.”

“Are you sure?” David really didn’t want to risk destroying the things in the backpack, especially the gene nucleus that was in the bag.

“It’s entirely up to you if you want to unlock it or not. You have to keep your promise though, as you have promised me.”

“Cold.” David muttered as he went into deep thought. Then he gritted his teeth, his eyes blood shot with an expression like a gambler who was about to stake his life.

“Alright.”

He stretched his hand and he reluctantly but decisively placed his hand on the button.

There was a flash of red light but in just a millisecond, it was suppressed as a flash of green light overwhelmed it.

A few seconds later, David was sweating anxiously as he waited for the backpack to open.

With a puff, the lid of the backpack opened softly.

Excited, David stretched his hands slowly, as he reached for the inner part of the bagback.

“You have 5 seconds before the bagback self destruct.” Hazel suddenly piped him.

“What!?” although he sounded shocked, his hands wasn’t in shock at all. It was as though his life depended on it and he instantly turned the bag upside down as he emptied the entire bag in 3 seconds.

Using his hands to thoroughly search the entire bag, he suddenly paused as he caught a container sticking to the bottom of the bag.

In that second, he threw the bag to the skies through the window and it exploded by the end of the next second.

David wiped off his sweat as he realised how dangerous that was. The explosion didn’t garner the attention of others because of how noisy and brightly lit the area was. That particular area was literary covered in holographic images of adverts, names of the establishment, and other things, so much so the explosion only caught a very few people’s attention.

“Why didn’t you tell much sooner?” David asked angrily.

“That’s because I didn’t know that it would happen. The security program of the bag was quite high and as I guessed, it took 5 seconds to recognise there was error in the data it had being given, which was why it instantly self destruct without warning.” Hazel replied casually.

“You should be glad I got the seconds right, imagine if i missed it by a second, an sure you know what would happen.”

David’s eyes twitched upon hearing Hazel’s words. Of course he knew what would happen if it was only 4 seconds, his hands would be blown off along with the self destruct installed in the bag.

David calmed himself as he shifted his attention towards the things on his bed.

He shifted his focus towards the brown box containing the Black-Winged tiger’s genetic nucleus.

He carefully stored it in elsewhere after he checked it was still intact, he was going to use it later.

He then gazed at the container in his hand. It contained some type of liquid.

It was entirely blank in colour and when he gazed at the label, it stated Mid-level Body Tempering Serum.

David was a bit shocked. He hadn’t even heard of a serum that could do the same work as a body tempering manual.

When he checked further, there was a single instruction on the bottle. It basically stated that without using a body tempering exercise, one shouldn’t try using the low level serum.

David could guess that it was related to the body’s tolerance. The body tempering manual would have upgraded and increased the body’s tolerance by some degree which can then be further upgraded by using low level serum.

But that wasn’t what was bothering David. He was worried because there wasn’t a single company name or signature on the container which indicated that it was some sort of Forbidden drug or banned medicine.

David was in deep thoughts and then, he eventually placed the thoughts aside as he dropped the container to his bagback. He was going to think about it later.

As he gazed at the other things on his bed, he was take aback. 50 percent of the things on his bed right now contained women underwear.

He could still recognise those and there were some that he couldn’t even decide of the clothing were short ropes or underwear.

With a wave if his hands, he sent a controlled force of air, blasting the underwears away from his bed as he had to attend to other things.

He recalled the cry of despair from Jared’s voice. It was as though he had lost something very important. And from what he knew, although the Black-Winged Tiger nucleus is rare, it shouldn’t be the cause of Jared’s despair. 𝒏𝗈𝑽𝚎𝑙𝗇𝗲xt.𝐂𝔬𝑀

As his eyes scammed through the things in his bed, his gaze was suddenly fixated on a large key with peculiar designs etched on it.

It was in a golden but rusty colour and it looked quite old but still gave off a sort of majestic feeling.

As he gazed at it, David felt his mind was being sucked inside and he instantly knew that the key was a very important item.. It was probably the cause of Jared’s cry.
