The Operation (5)

Jack thought about his next steps, considering the priority of the task. He decided to inspect and burn down the facility while also adding another idea: taking all these immigrants here to make them his subjects and becoming their ruler. However, he wanted to do it in a more humane way, of course.

"Alright then... First, I need to eliminate the risk of being discovered in disguise, which means I should avoid interacting with others or showing myself too much. Second, I need to uncover a plan for this place. Third, I must gather information and research they are conducting. Fourth, I'll incite a revolution among the insane immigrants. Fifth, I'll have a drink to celebrate... Hmm, good, as usual, well done, me," Jack smiled with satisfaction.

As he got up and discovered a smartwatch on a small table, Jack picked it up and tried to open it. Fortunately, it was not locked with a code. He explored its contents and found only one strange app labeled "Exchange Now" with a list of peculiar items and the phrase "The Exchange is On" written above them.

"Oh, this must be the way to use the points, interesting," Jack said.

Browsing the list, he found nothing particularly interesting—just food, drinks, underwear, and cleaning tools. Disappointed, he thought, "This useless stuff won't do me any good... Ah well, I guess some new clothes won't hurt, and they'll improve my mobility." Jack decided to speed things up and ordered some new clothes using his remaining 110 points, cursing the real Maro for not having more points.

An hour later, Jack heard a knock on the door and inquired about the visitor.

"Your clothes are ready, Mr. Maro, just as you requested," said the skinny delivery man with a curious expression on his face.

Jack deduced that this person knew the appearance of the original Maro as well, but for some reason, the one inside Maro's house was not him but someone wearing his clothes and having the same hair color. However, this imposter had light blue eyes staring at him. Of course, the delivery man wouldn't feel at ease, but Jack had no intention of harming him for several reasons, one being that he currently couldn't do it and also because he had summoned his jointed dagger and cut the imposter's soul, then putting it back in the apartment. So, there was no need to kill him.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Alright then, my comrade, since you're a delivery worker, you know all the routes, passages, and sections in this place."

"Yes," the worker replied hesitantly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Teach me everything..."

After several minutes, the tired worker was walking through the corridors for some reason, feeling exhausted from a long day's work.

"But it doesn't matter because the best thing in the day is coming after sleep!" When the worker reached a certain spot where he noticed a small black shop, his happiness increased. He approached the window and said, "A hot cup of coffee, as usual."

"Sure, here you go," the shop owner handed him a white cup filled with an elegant, strong, and wonderfully smelling black liquid.

The worker savored the delightful aroma of caffeine and let out a sigh of relief. However, as he brought the cup closer to take the first sip of the divine liquid, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, causing him to stop and hold his belly in pain.

"Ugh, what's happening to me?" The worker felt something trying to get out of his body, something huge, something...

"I need the bathroom!" From that moment, the worker couldn't leave the bathroom for three full hours.

On the other hand, Jack now knew all the places and sections in this facility. He had the ability to carry out his plans, maybe even without using his cheating skill.

"So, let's speed things up, shall we?" Jack decided to go to the control room, where the scientists and all the secrets were located. But before that, he needed to visit the experimentation room, where the patients were, and it was in the first section. This place was divided into three sections:

The third section served as a storage room for equipment and everything that could be exchanged with points.

The second section housed most of the low-ranking soldiers and a few rooms with people being subjected to experiments, like that teenager.

The first section was the brain center, where scientists and high-ranking soldiers, like the commander, were located. The ranks themselves were divided into three.

Jack rushed toward the first section, but he was surprised to see many soldiers there, despite the fact that just three hours ago, there was no such activity. However, he didn't pay them any attention and tried to pass by without being noticed, and indeed, everyone was too busy talking to each other.

Once Jack reached the experimentation room, he noticed a black door with a white danger symbol on it. He smiled when he saw one of the scientists coming out of the room.

"Hello," Jack greeted the puzzled scientist before striking him with his fist, rendering him unconscious, and taking his access card to open the door.

Inside, he found numerous people in the large room, filled with chairs and large display screens. He also noticed strange devices attached to some patients' heads, and behind them was a torture chair.

"Hmm, it looks like a dentist's chair, but with some... additions," Jack commented on the appearance of the chair surrounded by frightening devices. He then shifted his attention back to the living horrors: split heads, intertwined iron columns inside their brains, one of their eyes replaced with a mechanical one.

"They all have the same appearance, disgusting. I haven't even tortured others like this." Suddenly, Jack felt anger towards these scientists, seeing his fellow travelers suffering.

Jack sighed a little before summoning his beloved ghostly dagger.

With enthusiasm, Jack smiled and said, "Don't worry, today you will all have your revenge against them!"
