Transmigrated into a reversed world
Chapter 194 - 194: Wheel him out and follow me

The woman walked towards the bed, calmly hooking Viktor up to the machine. A holographic screen lit up, displaying all his vital signs.

She stared indifferently at his heart, scanning for hidden ailments. Finding nothing, she was about to conclude her check-up when she froze—an unfamiliar indicator blinked beside his heart.

Zooming in, she discovered a small crystal pulsing slightly. Her gaze flashed, and Viktor instantly felt the change in her.

Earlier, she checked him like she was going through the motions, with a calm indifference.

He suddenly felt her gaze on him and pretended to be unaware, while he watched her from the corner of his eyes.

He immediately held his breath when she initiated the sleeping gas, the gas was silent and orderless.

Viktor's hand went slack as he feigned sleep. He listened as she called security, "Wheel him out and follow me. Be careful."

He heard her discussion with the guards, and a sense of Déjà vu washed over him; his body tensed as those dark memories poured into his mind.

When he regained his senses he was already wheeled into a sterile white room.

The woman had communicated with the leading scientist earlier, and they gathered in the room, ready to run a thorough test of his heart.

"The indications showed the core of his supernatural abilities forming." A scientist whispered, tapping on his hologram health display.

"Confirmed." One answered from the side; a machine was placed on his heart, and a buzzing sound echoed into the room.

"'Prepare to place the self-destruct chip in the subject's brain," the leader ordered, sending a chill down Viktor's spine as he lay on the bed.

'No, I have to get out of here. I can't let them do that.' As the thought hit him, his heartbeat quickened, and the monitors blared with sharp beeps, immediately shattering Viktor's pretense.

One of the scientists signaled with a glance, nodding for the other to activate the knockout gas.

She crept towards it, trying to seem normal like they didn't understand the reason why his heartbeat skipped.

Years of hellish training sharpened Viktor's instincts—he sensed the shift in the room and moved faster than they could react

He wrapped Pain around the woman's neck and turned it sharply to the side, instantly killing her.

One of them reacted and clicked a red button on the wall, and a sharp cry of Alarm blared across the scientist block, alerting all the guards.

Relief flickered in Viktor's eyes as one of them collapsed beside him. His gaze then turned to the rest and a smile bloomed on his innocent face.

"Pain, we're leaving. Take down anyone in our way," Viktor ordered his beast, grabbing a syringe from the surgeon's tray.

"Hmph! There's no escaping the Dark Order base. Give up and lie back down, and we'll forget your little stunt." The leader remained calm, having seen this situation unfold before and knowing the inevitable fate of the instigator.

But this time, it was bound to be different. They had trained a monster who wasn't brainwashed by them, making him the deadliest in the assassin's block.

Viktor ignored her and stabbed the syringe into the throat of the woman beside her, causing blood to gush out and splatter on the leader's face.

Her eyes widened In horror as warm blood splattered across her face. Heart pounding, she bolted for the exit.

Viktor picked up a knife and threw it at her; the knife went through the woman's throat "Ghhk…gurgle…khhrrgh….ughh'' she choked on her blood, holding her neck in disbelief as she collapsed to the ground.

Panic spread through the remaining scientists as they scrambled for the other exit, the alarm blaring overhead.

Suddenly, sounds of loud footsteps came for the door, and the remaining scientists breathed out in relief, thinking they were finally saved.

Viktor dashed through the door, his mind fixed on a familiar destination. The guards chased him, bullets whizzing by as he expertly dodged.

He followed his memory and went deeper into the scientist block; he crept into Scientist A's office, taking her off guard.

Before she could react, Pain had already bitten her with his poison. She twitched on the ground as Viktor pulled her toward the wall beside a wooden shelf.

"Master hisss, what are you planning?" Pain asked, confusion swirling in his feline eyes at his Master's action.

"Oh, we are blowing up the building. Isn't that exciting?" Viktor asked in a cheerful tone as he placed the woman's palm on the wall.

A handprint lit up, and the wall clicked before sliding open. An ominous red button appeared, flanked by blue and smaller flashing buttons below.

This was the Dark Order self-destruct button, used when they wanted to destroy important files or hide their secret away from their enemies.

Pain's tail trembled as his master's words sank in. "Master….don't give up on yourself, you don't have to die with them. Leave the buttons, we can find another—" his persuasion choked in its throat when Viktor heartlessly pressed the buttons without a second thought.

As soon as he pressed it, a warning sound alerted everybody in the other block as well.

"WARNING! WARNING! Self-destruct in two minutes!"

Viktor smiled, dragged his beast, and left the room, blending in with the panicked crowd.

The sudden chaos took everyone by surprise, sending them rushing toward the exit in a panic. Meanwhile, Kyle, returning from a mission, had just approached the building when the blaring alarm reached his ears. He immediately recoiled.

While Viktor hummed as he moved with the panicked crowd, silently eliminating anyone who blocked his path.

The alarm triggered the countdown sequence. "9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1." Everybody's heart hung in their throat, the numbers making their heartbeat thunder in their ears; some gave up running, knowing they wouldn't make it.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion rocked the building as glass shattered, and flames consumed the structure with relentless speed.

Viktor had just reached the exit when the blast's force hurled him forward. His ears rang as the building collapsed behind him, sending a thick cloud of dust and debris into the air, drawing the attention of those nearby.

Sharp debris tore into Viktor's skin as flying rocks scraped him. His ears rang, causing him to stumble, but he knew he couldn't afford to stop.

He had to leave the area before reinforcements came, then he wouldn't be able to ever escape this place.

He had to leave the area before reinforcements arrived, or he'd never escape this place.

He cast one last glance at the burning ruins before vanishing into the night, relieved their mind manipulation hadn't worked—otherwise, they wouldn't have told him about the room confidently.

A laugh burst through his throat, tears gushed from his eyes.

*Present*

Something warm dropped on his thighs, waking him up from memory lane. He thought his cheeks to see it streaming with tears.

Cyra took his hands gently as Zane excused himself, leaving them alone.
