Under The Veil of Night

"Finally."

"I thought that this will never end."

"Right..."

The doctors were relieved when they saw the young girl unable to fight back anymore. The medicine would only work temporarily, but it would give them enough time to bring her to the lab.

At least, it was better than having her kick them around all the time and knock more doctor unconscious.

"Let’s carry her."

The doctors nodded their heads. Several of them were unfortunate enough to be wounded because of her resistance while the others were trying their best to carry her. Even though she was weakened considerably, Professor Taren needed her to be awake, so they couldn’t make her unconscious.

It didn’t take long for them to bring her to the laboratory. Professor Taren was already there, humming happily.

"Oh, you sure take your time," Professor Taren berated,

The head doctor wiped his sweat. They didn’t have any plan on taking a long time, but Kanae was showing greater resistance than what they could imagine.

"Put her there."

Once again, the doctor struggled to put her on the chair. They made sure that she was tied tightly without any chance to move at all. This made Kanae feel extremely annoyed.

Professor Taren looked at Kanae’s expression with interest. "The pain should last for 24 hours, but it seems that you can move around. Your training is pretty amazing, little girl. But it’s useless against my power."

Seeing that Kanae didn’t reply back, he didn’t feel disheartened. He picked up an item in the size of an eye with the shape of a cylinder and moved towards Kanae.

"After the battle in Lima School previously, I realize one big weakness in my experiment. I can’t control them very well. They’re mostly moving against my will, so I create an item that can make me control them. Although I only plant this to those who’re the strongest, it’s already more than enough."

Kanae stared at the item as she tried to exert more strength to struggle free. She didn’t want to be controlled!

However, no matter what she did, she couldn’t break free.

On the back, Jeff was waiting patiently as Professor Taren did his job. He played around with a knife on his hand and ignored the terrified doctors around him. Some of them were new recruits, so they hadn’t seen this before. However, he had seen them numerous times, so he has gotten used to them.

Most of them would scream and tried to break free. On the other hand, Kanae was struggling but not a word came out of her mouth. The silence continued on as Professor Taren did his work.

Only after a few hours did the old man finished.

"This is the first time I have so much trouble to put this on," Professor Taren wiped the sweat on his forehead. He picked up two devices and handed them to Jeff. "You’re the weakest one, so you’ll be the one controlling the two of them. Be careful that you have to pay attention to everything on the screen.���

"I understand," Jeff examined one of them. It was showing the heartbeat, the fatigue, and many other things. "How do I control them?"

"Just give them orders."

"Oh?" Jeff looked at Kanae, who was still struggling. He put the device closer to his mouth. "Speak."

However, Kanae didn’t speak. Her eyes only glared back at Jeff. If looks could kill, Jeff would have been dead numerous times.

"Stop moving."

For a split second, Kanae did stop moving. However, she still continued to struggle after that.

Jeff nodded his head. "It seems that her resistance is still very large."

"It’ll take time for the device to work properly. It should be ready by tomorrow morning," Professor Taren shrugged.

"Can she take it off?"

"If she did, she’ll die."

"Die?" Jeff played with the device in his hand. "How convenient. This will make it easy for you to control everyone."

"Nearly all of you have this device inside your body, just different in type," Professor Taren said proudly. This device was one of his masterpieces because it could directly affect someone’s mind, which made it possible to control a person. Of course, he needed to make sure that they have lower resistance first before using this device or it wouldn’t be able to work.

And that medicine he created or their raw material was the best option.

"How long do you need this device to fully control her?"

"Let’s see," Professor Taren rubbed his beard and chin. "This is the one with the highest concentration of the chemical reaction, so it should take around half a day to one day for it to fully kill her nerve. Afterwards, she won’t be able to think on her own anymore and follows after your command completely."

Kanae’s heart turned cold when she heard Professor Taren’s words. In other words, she only has one day left to live before she turn into a ’robot’ completely.

"Oh," Jeff played with the device. "It’s pretty useful, thank you, Professor."

Professor Taren turned his attention to the group of doctors not far from him. "Take her back to the dungeon."

The doctors were looking at one another in despair. They truly didn’t want to bring this little monster again. The fierce battle that she showed them was already more than enough to tell them that they were not her match.

"Oh yeah, give her the next dose of medicine, I don’t want the pain to disappear. Considering her resistance and capability, she should be able to handle one more." Professor Taren pointed at the bottle on the table. "I have another thing to do in the other lab."

The doctors gazed at one another in despair. Previously, it was Aria who forced Kanae to drink the medicine. Now, who dared to do it?

The head doctor turned around. "Whoever dares to move forward will be given the chance to become Professor Taren’s assistant."

The doctors were tempted, but no one moved forward. They were not stupid enough to trade their life with the offer.

"Plus, the key access to the lab," the head doctor added exasperatedly. He didn’t want to be the one to face that young girl. They were all doctors and not fighters. Even the hardest and most annoying patients were not as hard to handle as Kanae.

Facing this girl, they might even die.

The doctors looked around. One hand was raised up above. They quickly made their way to the man.

"Do you want to try?"

"Can I truly get the reward?"

"Yes."

"Okay," the young man stepped forward. He picked up the bottle and made his way to Kanae. His pace was extremely slow, with his back was all that these doctors could see.

He made his way to Kanae. The girl struggled and the doctor tried all he could to hold her down. After a good one minute, he managed to force her jaw to open and poured the medicine on her.

After forcing her to drink, he quickly stepped back and looked at the head doctor. "Is this enough?"

"Yes!" The head doctor wanted to cry in happiness. At least, they didn’t have to face the little monster head on. "Now, should we take her back?"

This time, they worked even harder to carry the girl back. Of course, several of them were wounded hard because of the fierce resistance.
