As I drained Gino's hitman of his blood, my mind expanded. I gained skills I never had before and my mind began flashing through mories that weren't my own.
[Guns skill upgraded to Good]
[Would you like to access the target's mories]
'Yes.'
I replied yes despite the fact that I kind of already was accessing his mories. It seems like there wasn't a clear delineation between what the system could do that I couldn't and I could do and the system couldn't. The line was blurred and overlapped in areas.
I could imagine that would be very frustrating to soone who liked the world to have clear cut rules. Seeing as I wasn't one of those people, I couldn't care less if my abilities and the system's overlapped, but you might.
It was what it was. To get back to the point, I flashed through the mories of the hitman. It revealed Gino ordering the hit, Gino's headquarters, the layout of the place, the password for easy entry, the works.
It gave everything I needed to take Gino down. That wasn't my first priority but it was towards the top. My first priority was to check on Mira. I threw the hitman's body to the floor.
I got down next to the dic who was giving a weird look. Then I realized I probably had blood all over my face, neck, and body. And the fact that she probably saw sucking down that dude's blood.
Ignoring the dic's look of genuine concern, I said, "How is she?"
The dic said, "Her? Sh-she's dead. He shot her through the heart multiple tis. She bled out in seconds. There was nothing I could do, so please don't kill ."
"Why would I kill you? I killed the other guy because he shot her. You did nothing wrong. I may be a blood drinking freak, but I'm not a bad guy. I don't kill people for no reason," I said.
"O-ok. Whatever you say. I have to do sothing," she said and legitimately sprinted away from . Figures. I'd probably do the sa in her shoes.
I kneeled over Mira. Her eyes were still open staring at nothing. I closed them for her. I could still save her, but cops or security could show up at any second and she could get caught in the crossfire and die all over again.
Everything froze and the portal opened up next to .
"No. That's not fair! You have to give more ti!" I said.
The portal didn't respond. This wasn't fair! This was bullshit! @$$ couldn't do this to ! Make bond with this girl with an expiration date and then take her away as soon as one good thing happens in her life?
I pulled out the cure all dicine and tried to jab it into Mira's arm, but the frozen nature of the ga made it so the needle wouldn't penetrate her skin. Everything was frozen. It was over. Ti for to give up and leave. This was bullshit!
It wasn't fair. I wouldn't allow it. I was going to stop this madness if it took every ounce of strength I had. I walked up to the portal and spread my hands wide. I gripped the outer left and right side of the portal and pulled them together with all my strength.
I empowered my body with as much Vi as I could muster. I could feel myself burning through life essence like crazy. Numbers counted down in my head.
[You have burned 200,000 life essence. Do you wish to continue?]
'Fucking yes I do!'
[You have burned through 500,000 life essence. Do you wish to continue?] Experience tales at empire
'Yes! Stop asking that question!'
[Nullifying further notifications]
'Thank you.'
Slowly, the portal began to close. I pulled and I pushed and I pulled and I pushed until the portal was forced shut, and disappeared.
