Chapter 14 - Preparations for Test (Introduction Arc Final)

I entered the toilets as usual and started washing my hands wi soap and water.

When I was done, I felt tremendous feeling.

I was almost sure that it was him – the man from which eyes I was watching in my dreams.

"But why is he here?"

"What should I do now?"

"Will he kill me now?"

"???": You're thinking right. It's me. Do NOT try to see who I am. And also – don't make any unnecessary movements. I want you to now hear me and understand what I'm about to say. Things are hard in the political world, as you probably imagine. Tomorrow night, I'm planning to kill a certain politician. His name is Venguard, Derthoud Venguard. I want you to find a way to save him. You can even call the police, but if they fail, there will be consequences for you, not for me. I want you to slowly start seeing the real world. And I will use this as a test for you too.

"Why should I do it?"

"???": I really like you, the way you think. If you don't participate, nothing will happen, for now. But after a couple of politicians down, maybe evidence will start pointing at you. And then, I might don't want to help you.

"And what if I am not able to save him?"

"???": Firstly, you'll see what dead means, and secondly, you'll become stronger.

"How will this happen?"

"???": I see 2 ways. Firstly, when you see how he is dying, next time your desire to save will be a lot bigger, and secondly, you probably know that you can absorb a person's despair. When someone is dying, in a lot of cases, their despair can reach the maximum level. In more than 70% of the cases, not the wound or blood loss is fatal but the despair coming from the destruction of the desire: "I want to live". And this despair will surely make you stronger.

"Why did you choose me?"

"???": You'll see with time.

"How can I save him if you don't tell me anything more accurate? I cannot search the whole city."

"???": I'll give you coordinates tonight. You know, in your dream. Do NOT disappoint me, Alex.

I stopped feeling him.

The following night I saw a certain place but I didn't know where it is or how to get there...….
