Unlike the previous tis when Zain felt drowsiness, this ti, the headache in the back of his head had co out much more intense, not giving him enough ti to try to fight it, hurting him more in the process.
If only there was a way for him to control when these episodes happen. Although they had co at appropriate tis so far, there was always the chance that in the middle of a fight if he didn't learn what was setting them off.
Either way, he had to deal with the current one right now.
'What will it be this ti?' Zain thought. Will it be a mory with that faceless man? Although they feel like a dream, I'm still worried about what would happen if I were to die in one of those visions.
'However, I'm no fool. Each ti I have had so type of lesson with that person, I've never learnt sothing I never knew how to do before.'
Thinking about it, not all of the blackouts had been like that. There was the one ti he had entered the cave, and in doing so, he had earned a return key and sword mastery by completing the objective. Maybe it was ti for the system to give him another reward.
When Zain finally was able to regain his composure, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar scene, and what surprised him more than anything was his body. No longer was he in a child-like form. He was his regular self, his zombie self, although it was quite different.
The scene in front of him was what could only be described as a scientific lab, or at least what Zain imagined one would look like. He was in a fairly large room with several tables, papers, test tubes, and all sorts of research-related instrunts placed on the tables and cupboards.
However, he was not alone.
There were others, and all of them were wearing lab coats. As for where Zain was in all of this and what he had to do with the vision, that was sothing that he needed to find out for himself.
Zain was floating up in the air, almost touching the ceiling and looking down at everything. When looking at his own body, it was like a ghost.
'Does this an I'm not playing a part, and these guys, they can't see ?'
In order to test this, Zain thought about moving, and his body did as it was told. There was no need to pretend to swim through the air. If he wanted to move to a certain position, his body would move to that said position.
Then getting in front of one of the workers, Zain waved a hand in front of his face to see if the latter noticed anything, but the person didn't even flinch. Next, he tried to interact with the equipnt, but his hands would just go through everything.
'I guess I'm just a bystander, but then what do I do? How am I ant to wake up from this place?'
With nothing else to do, Zain decided to explore to see what the scientists were working on, but other than looking through microscopes and writing down words that just didn't make sense to him. There was nothing until Zain had spotted sothing, or more rightly so, soone.
A blonde female scientist who looked to be in her mid-thirties. Zain wasn't so sure yet until he flew directly behind her and had a look at the long slender legs.
'I'm sure of it. This has to be the scientist that works for the Reborn group, the sa scientist who crashed into and gave the pendant. I an the pendant I picked up.' Zain corrected himself.
Thinking this had to be linked sohow, Zain decided to stay close to the blonde female. Just like the others, she seed to be whisking away, focused on her work. The only thing was several of the other scientists seed to be coming up to her and asking her several questions.
As ti passed and he observed the room, he found out that the scientist's na was Sarah Bain. Not a na that he recognised which was making him wonder how he was even receiving these images in the first place.
Regardless, it seed that Sarah was the go-to person in the departnt that really knew her stuff. That was until a certain person entered the room from a different area.
'I'm such an idiot. Why didn't I think to try and explore outside of this lab? With this body, I should be able to get out, right?'
Before Zain could attempt to get out, he was interested in who this person was because imdiately after he ca in, all of those in the lab bowed down.
Seeing this, Zain took a closer look at the man. He looked a bit older than the woman, most likely in his forties, if Zain were to guess. His beard was a little grey in places, while his hair was mostly white already, but his skin was quite young, which was why it was hard for Zain to judge.
As for the man, he ca straight over to where Zain was. It almost looked like he was looking directly at him. As he took steps closer and closer, Zain wondered if he would need to fight back, but how was he ant to in a body like this?
That was until the man gave Sarah a big hug.
"I think I did it, I think I finally managed to make a breakthrough!" The man said.
It was clear by the way he hugged the woman that the two knew each other quite well.
"You really did…does this an we can save them? Can we save everyone?" Sarah's face lit up with a smile.
'Save everyone? These words and who she is… and her words, I am sure this blonde woman, Sarah, has to be involved in this whole thing. My instincts were right. If I find her, maybe I can find out what happened to and what started this whole zombie ss in the first place.'
Suddenly, a bright white light started to fill the room, filling the whole place and making it harder for Zain to see. It was clear the vision was coming to an end, and at the last mont, Zain saw the man hugging Sarah move back and slightly turn his head.
The man was staring right into Zain's eyes.
