C 41. Nulls' Opportunities

"Oh, young man, you did not know that the Virtual Reality that this facility is proud of is the product of my imagination. 

A lot of powerful people have stolen my invention but the true genius is me

Come on, Dr Khan tells him that I was the genius of VR in the world. Dr Charles why are you too not responding, are you envious of my great mind?"

"It's amazing right, Bala. She was one of the best geniuses in the whole. She shocked the whole world with her highest IQ in the history of mankind."

"Yes, yes tell him Dr Erythros. But people stole all my inventions. Some imprison me and use me as a supercomputer for their gain until I manage to escape." The fat woman said.

Damn!

This woman is talkative. Now, I see why they kept her working without interacting with subjects.

"Of course Dr fatty. How about you allow us to educate the kid about other things." 

"Okay, okay, hey kid. I know you love games, so, whenever you have time and these annoying scientists let you come to me, I will give you the best experience there is."

I just stand there watching them. The woman's name is Mwer… something, I can't seem to remember her name correctly. 

She was such a jovial person that one can't hate. As for Dr khan Arfan, Director of Sector 7, and Dr Charles, they kept their mouths shut, if they said anything her chats will never end.

Dr Erythros, I never knew her name but it sounds familiar for odd reasons. She was the person that always received me directly when I came to sector 7 and everyone here calls her Head Science.

The head science seems to be able to shut the fat woman with casual conversation.

"What can you tell me about Mary?" Dr Khan's question brings me out of my thoughts.

"She has beautiful lines of veins across her face, they are filled with a twinkling fluid flowing through."

Damn! Those are very beautiful veins she developed, perhaps she has an ability.

"So, how deep or heavy as you usually indicate are the veins?"

Ahh, are they going to start using my eyes to gaze at the nature of ability users?

"It's negligible, it has no weight at all, but the beauty is something else." 

I was going to ask what kind of ability she developed when Head Science said, "She develops an ability because she met you in her dream! The reason she pinned you to the wall was you call her your pet in the dream.

She was upset about it and also roamed the facility in hope of finding you!"

"How the hell will she know it was me? Wait! Can people be in others' dreams?" 

It's weird!

I never remember the details of the dream, only the emotions and mindset I was in.

But, now I met someone and I even conversed with that person! I rub my temple in thought. 

Things are becoming more complicated and crazy!

"Null has a chance of developing ability naturally, but also a transplant can be used for them to obtain it. 

There is another third option that is a lot more dangerous, which is to meet another ability user in the dream. 

The meeting does not guarantee the Null developing an ability but there is a high chance of it happening."

"So, Mary developed her ability after she met me in her dream. But does that mean I met her too?"

"You did meet her too, it's just that you don't remember your dreams. But I want to ask you, do you think she developed an ability similar to yours?"

"Nah, I don't think so. What is her ability?"

"We are still trying to discover it, that is why I ask you. You know it carries a risk of going mad or worse. Come to my office, I will explain things to you."

I followed her to her office

"It will take us some time before you understand the mechanics behind dream ability accusations." She said before she poured down some water in a glass.

And for me, a platform of food flew and stopped in front of me. Without a thought, I began to eat.

"Whenever a Null meets an ability user in a dream the tendency of that Null to develop an ability similar to the person they meet in a dream is high.

But that was not always a good thing because if the ability is destructive the Null body may not handle it." She said while watching me eat, I nodded to indicate I was listening.

"Do you know about the strongest person in the world?" She asked.

"The one that can manifest a Sun?"

"Yes him, the organisation he belongs to found a way to arrange a series of Null to meet him in a dream. But unfortunately, all of them go supernova. 

Their body can't contain that much energy, they were not built to harness the true essence of the Sun power!"

"Crazy, that was just crazy.." I said while I have half food in my mouth.

"Yeah, what do you think will happen if a Null copies your ability?"

"I don't know?" 

She smiled and said, "They will turn completely mad, devoid of any reasoning or mind. They will be akin to a mindless beast that stopping them will be difficult."

"I don't want to be rude but you are exaggerating."

"Your eyes are hard to deal with. They are more than you can imagine. Your little encounter with Dr khan makes us understand that."

I stared at her. Well, I know my eyes are something but I hope they will not plan something for me.

I may agree with the nanoparticles but I'm still wary of them. 

From what I understand about this facility is that almost all their subjects have some uncanny power. As if they only targeted those that are truly special.
