City H military hospital
A young man is lying on a bed with modern dical equipnt connected to his body. The constant beeping sound of the vital sign monitoring machine or the EKG machine along with normal rhythmic breathing is an indication that the young man is still alive.
Outside the room stood two n wearing military uniform each carrying type 95 automatic rifles.
The room is a bit secluded and the only people going in and out of this room are the doctors and nurses monitoring the condition of the young man inside.
It has been more than a month since a freak accident happened to him which has been a great topic inside the hospital. But as of now, the gossip and rumors have already died down.
Right now, two old n are standing looking at the young man lying on the bed.
One is wearing a general's uniform and the other one is wearing a doctor's gown.
"It has been more than a month and he hasn't woken yet. Do you think he can recover from this?"
"He's always been a fighter… although when he was found his body is riddled with wounds, but we did what we could. It's a miracle that his body has already recovered from that state."
"Sigh… I was too rash. I never thought that he would be hit emotionally that day. This… it's all my fault."
"Old Du, you don't have to beat yourself up. He is fine. I didn't know what really happened. But those muggers should have been too desperate to even strip off all his clothing… sigh… People these days are so…"
The two old n talked for a while and soon left the room.
It was already 9 pm and the lights have been dimd.
After the two old n left, the eyelids of the young man on the bed suddenly twitched, then followed by his forehead creasing as if he is trying to open his own eyes.
It didn't take long when the young man slowly opens his eyes and a blurry scene is in his view.
"W… what… happened?" the young man muttered.
"My head… where… where am I?"
"What is this place?"
Rrrip!!!
When he lifted his arm he heard a tearing noise which imdiately attracted his attention. He can see that his arm was bound by a strong restrain but was torn apart by his simple movent. He then turns his gaze to the other one and did the sa.
Rrrip!!!
The restraint is like paper being ripped easily by him.
This made the young man feel confused, he then slowly turns his gaze at the apparatus connected to his body and the beeping sound it produces.
Although a little confused, he can actually identify those things and their purpose. But the problem is his mory is a bit blurry and unclear.
Then suddenly, he discovers sothing…
The air going inside his body is actually mixed with another chemical.
"A poison?... No this is no poison… This is anesthetics? Why are they sedating ? This place… this is a dangerous place." he thought as he wanted to get out of bed.
But suddenly, an idea props out of his mind. It was like an instant reaction for him… he needs to know what the situation is and play the victim for a while.
And so, he just lay back down and pretended to sleep.
…
anwhile, in a large mansion on the outskirts of city H…
A red latest model of Lamborghini Aventador drives towards the parking lot of the large mansion. From the sports car alighted a long-legged beautiful woman wearing a black and white high-end professional suit.
She casually walks inside the huge mansion and saw two middle-aged people in the living room happily chatting together. The harmonious atmosphere between the two people made the young woman's heart feel calm and happy.
Upon hearing her footsteps the two people turn towards her direction and a smile blood on their faces.
"Shi'er, how was your day at work? Did you have a hard ti? Oh, did you already have dinner?" the middle-aged woman imdiately stood up and greeted the young woman with a warm hug.
Her mother is a very warm and kind person which made her truly appreciate the warmth in their ho. Then her father put down the book he is reading and smiled towards the young woman.
She just nodded and gave a warm smile to both her parents.
"Shi'er… it has already been a month since you ca back ho. Your brother and I decided to give you a permanent position in the company. You've been doing well since you ca and a lot of people appreciate your work." the middle-aged man said proudly.
"Yes, your dad and I also talked about it. We are truly happy that you've quit being a military officer. At least this ti we can have you at ho every day…"
"By the way, I heard that there is soone wooing you. Do you like that boy?"
"…"
The three conversed for a while and after that, she went to her room.
After washing, she laid down on her bed and looks at the white ceiling. Many mories entered her mind as she saw two people happily spending their ti together. It was supposed to be a simple task, but she didn't expect to really fall deep. The happy mories and the sadness she felt at that ti beca a crucible of how she ca to be called 'icy beauty' in the company.
After so ti, a tear slowly escaped her clear eyes and slid down her smooth cheeks. Then a na escaped her soft lips.
"Shin…"
She was not aware of what had happened that night and she tried and tried to overco her depression until she decided to resign from her military service and ca back to her family. And a month has passed since then but she knew that she has never recovered from what happened. She would always bla herself for what had happened to the man she loved that night.
"It was all my fault… If only… if only… Huhuhu… *sob *sob"
She cried as beads of tears slowly fell from her misty eyes. Her heart beca heavy and she continually sobs.
Outside her door, a middle-aged woman stood rooted on the ground and a sad expression is on her face. She didn't know what happened to her daughter but as a mother, she already did what she could to appease her heart, but it seems that it was not enough.
…
City H military hospital secluded room…
Two days have passed since the young man has awoken and he has already gathered enough information from the people talking in front of him. Sotis he even cringes at so of the nurses who would talk to him secretly about their most intimate secrets. They actually like him because of his handso face and strong physique. And it seems that even in his comatose state, he would sotis unconditionally move and destroy his restraints which prove his strength.
From what he has learned, he seems to be called Shin Jiao. And he is soone which the military valued a lot. He was in a freak accident more than a month ago and was found on the streets badly wounded. From then on he was sent in this hospital facility and has been in a coma.
Plus he also discovers that the old doctor in this facility is taking samples of his blood and began experinting on him.
He heard from the other nurses the assistant nurse of that doctor is a very vicious woman as she would always try to inflict cuts and bruises on his body. And since those cuts and bruises would almost always heal she would do it several tis until she would be contented.
Sotis she would use a scalpel to puncture his skin. And just like a psychopath, she would enjoy seeing him bloody and slowly healing himself.
Luckily in those two days, the woman didn't do anything on him.
With these discoveries and information, he decided that this place called 'hospital' is a dangerous place for him. So tonight he would escape.
But before that, he would teach soone a lesson.
He would give those two a taste of their own dicine.
And so, after the light went dim he counted the ti and imdiately made his move.
The two days were not spent just gathering information. He also spends it discovering the power within his body. In his subconscious mind, he learned to do many things. First is his mory about cultivating the power within his mind, second is a thing that he called… the absolute sense.
He discovered that he can actually clearly see anything anywhere within ten ters from his position.
Although he knew that he can do more than that, but it seems that there is sothing that's trying to block this ability of his, hence the ten ters limit.
Then the third one is a very vague knowledge in a thing called rune formation. But this knowledge in his mory is not that clear just like his own na and the rest of his mories.
And so, with the limited knowledge he has, he went to work. Using so strips of the sheet of his bed, he controlled and uses his own blood and wrote so runes on it. He made a total of four talismans and threw them to the four corners of the room.
"Let's see if this works…" he muttered as he focused his energy and suddenly the room was covered by a faint light.
Then a smile appears on the young man's face as his figure suddenly blurred and disappears from the bed.
With the formation at hand, everything inside the room beca still and as if nothing has happened.. But in truth, the young man's figure is already gone and the machine is already turned off.
