The Bloodline System



Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

-"The Lord is taking care of it himself. Do not engage the offspring,"

"Understood... Then we shall proceed with the plan,"

...

Gustav soon arrived before an upside down hut shaped golden structure which was around two thousand feet tall.

It had the words <AISTREN SYNOGCES> erected on its exterior and a couple of Ozis in red robes could be seen moving to and fro the structure. 

Gustav knew only medical practitioners were dressed this way on Planet Ozis as it was a crime to even consider using red if you weren't a practitioner. 

However, Gustav was currently dressed this way as he approached the building from up ahead.

"Mesur Couri," Two Ozis greeted him with respectful gazes as he walked into the structure.

"Mesur Couri," Gustav replied with a nod as he walked past them.

This place which was like a reception area was so tiny that it could only fit three people walking side by side. Only the higher floors were wider since the building was like a massive funnel.

Fortunately only two other people seemed to be on this floor so Gustav had no issue moving to where he needed to.

The glass like elevator area displayed the reflection of an Ozis as Gustav approached.

The face that stared back at him was a circular brown one almost twice the size of a human face. Only a line shaped mouth was visible on the entire brownish circular face along with two antennas positioned atop the head.

At the tip of both antennas were eyeballs the size of a babyfist. Gustav proceeded to walk into and got beamed up a moment later.

He arrived on one of the top floors which had a couple more Ozis Medical Practitioners moving to and fro across the place.

He proceeded down a passageway and arrived in a broad space a few moments later. This broad space had very dim lighting but was structured in such a way that steps were formed in a circular format while the center had very little space.

These steps extended across a radius of more than four hundred feet and got higher with every layer so much that the last step had reached a height of hundred feet and was also structured in a circular format across the space.

Rectangular shaped transparent encasements were lined on the circular steps, causing each step to have a couple of them hovering above them.

Within these transparent rectangular encasements were the corpses of Ozis in a preserved state. A lot of these corpses looked like they were in a state of sleep rather than snuffed of life.

The small glow emitted from the internal walls of the rectangular encasement bathed the corpses in rays that made their skins as fresh as a live Ozis would look.

From Gustav's perception he could tell that there were more than a thousand of these rectangular encasements here. Not like he wasn't aware since he already gathered information last night.

He turned to stare at the south west area of this space and began stepping forward. He moved between the spaces of the rectangular encasements as he headed in the direction of the seventy fourth step.

Gustav knew exactly where to check for the corpse of the Handler that was recently murdered. 

Usually on earth, a corpse associated with crime would still be in the coroners office undergoing examination but things seem to be different on Planet Ozious. The necessary procedures were carried out very swiftly and the corpses were checked into a mortuary of sorts.

Then the families of the deceased could choose whatever they wanted to do with the corpse next.

Gustav soon arrived on the step he was headed for and moved sideways till he reached the fourteenth rectangular encasement on this step.

"Hmm... the body still seems to be in a state of repair," A shrill voice escaped Gustav's lip as he peered downwards. 

The body within this encasement had a giant hole that extended from its belly to its chest area. Dark scorch marks could be spotted on different areas of the skin as well.

However, it was obvious that the body was undergoing some sort of repair as it bathed in the rays emitted from the internal walls of the encasement.

Guatav now understood that this wasn't just a preservative casket, it was also one that reversed all the damage done to the corpse. This was why the corpses look like they were in a state of sleep as opposed to being dead. However, it didn't change the fact that they couldn't be brought to life.

Eventually the corpse before him would also be void of damage but in the meantime Gustav revered at how much this handler must have lost their life in a gruesome way.

"...Time to find out how you really died," Gustav's slowly lowered his right palm as he mumbled.

"Sersir Ankunta Ipei Sadunda voli..." Two associates seemed to walk into this space at this same moment. 

"Uru... Sarigot Mela vani hudija kunta hoqu," One of them voiced while waving as they spotted Gustav above.

Gustav was currently clad in a different outfit so he had left his translator tool in his storage device with the clothes he initially had on. This was the reason Ozis didn't sound like they were speaking English anymore because they never were.

Fortunately Gustav had the system. Despite listening to them speak in their native tone, Gustav perfectly understood every word coming out of their mouth.

The system also had his back so the moment he spoke to respond to them, it would be translated in their native tone. 

"I'm here to do one last check... it shouldn't take too long,"

-"Oh, I thought the results have been finalised,"

"After this they will be. It shouldn't take too long," 

The dialogue between Gustav and the other two Ozis ended in a bit and they went on to focus on what they came here for while Guatav finally placed his hand on the head of the Ozis before him.

[Processing Brain Waves Reanimation]

A notification popped up in his line of sight the moment his hand made contact with the face of the Handler's corpse.

[Reanimating Brain Last Vestiges]

A transparent red glow appeared on Gustav's finger tips which were latched to the face of the Handler's corpse.

[O/100%]

[27/100%]

[45/100%]

Gustav waited for the bar that appeared above the percentage readings to fill up.

[69/100%]

[92/100%]

[100/100%]

After four minutes...

[Reanimation Complete]

[Preparing To Withdraw Data]

[Bypassing Braincells Amunocode]

[100/100%]

[Processing Data Withdrawal]

The red glow on Gustav's fingertips became brighter and strands of the glow pierced into the Handler's face, causing her skull to light up from within.

[1/100%]

Just like it happened in the situation with Boss Danzo, the data withdrawal process was considerably slower.

Fortunately, Gustav didn't seem to have arouse any suspicions like the time with Boss Danzo where his life was technically on the line.

He heaved a sigh of relief as he waited. This was a testament to how far Gustav had come since that time. It had been over a year already. 

...

...

...

Within an apartment, an Ozis in undies laid within a box shaped space. He semed to have a very relaxed expression on his face as he drifted off into wonderland unaware of the presence sharing this room with him.

This box was equivalent to a bed on earth and a figure just happened to be standing right before it. This figure who hovered above the sleeping Ozis reached out to grab his head.

[Mental Manipulation Has Been Activated]

[Transferring Memories...]

The activities this figure had engaged in within the last one hour was getting transfered into the mind of the Ozis like they were using a Bluetooth connection. 

A couple of memories got omitted according to the will of the figure hovering above the Ozis and after a few more seconds...

[Memory Transfer Complete]

The figure who was obviously Gustav withdrew after this notification popped up in line of sight.

He proceeded to place an invisibility button on his forehead in the next instant and vanished. A small whooshing sound rang out without disturbing the vicinity. Gustav was gone like he was never here in the first place.

The person whose memories he had just tampered with was the Ozis whose identity he made use of to infiltrate the synogces.

This Ozis worked there and was supposed to come in today to do a few inspections but Gustav had done something to him the night before.

The Ozis was currently in a state of deep sleep because of Gustav and now that he had achieved his objective, he needed to close off any loose ends. When this Ozis awoke they'd have the memories of Gustav heading to the Synogces and doing inspection as expected with a couple of cut outs.

...

"Gustav where were you?"

"We've been looking everywhere,"

"Dude you missed out,"

The group began clamoring the moment Gutav arrived back at the Zero Haven.
