Chapter 14 - Lab Rat(Part 2)

"Take this more seriously, brat, if you don't want to end up with your nose smashed in again."

"Go fuck yourself, dickhead," I growled in response, before picking up the wooden sword as I stood back up.

Some time has passed, I don't know how long...after the control chip was implanted in the back of my neck, I soon found out what the next phase of their plan for me was.

They're turning me into a weapon for them to use...they've been forcing me to train to kill. And thanks to the control chip, I've had no choice but to comply.

I can only hope that I get the chance to use it against them at some point...but realistically speaking, that's probably not going to happen.

Getting rid of the control chip is going to be impossible, believe me, I've tried. Even thinking about trying to tear it out of me triggers it and wracks my body with excruciating pain.

What's more, every time I get seethingly, intensely angry and enraged, which happens pretty damn often, that triggers the chip too, with pain immense enough to knock me out.

I think that's for the purpose of stopping me from triggering whatever power I used when I killed all but two of the men who killed my parents.

So I've had no choice but to keep my emotions in check...I've felt that immense pain several times now, but I never get used to it. I don't want to feel it anymore...so I have to play along with them.

After they implanted the chip, they first had me train using various weapons, though wooden ones not the actual metal ones. Even with the control chip keeping me from defying them, they're still being cautious and careful towards me.

In the end, they surmised that a sword worked best for me, so they have me train using wooden swords. They hire mercenaries and soldiers to fight me, getting me used to combat.

And I hate to admit it, but...right now, that's the only real way I have to blow off steam, and it works.

Since the people hired to train me aren't members of the research group, I can be as aggressive towards them as I want without getting to the point where it'd trigger the chip.

Alok Das even told me to kill them if I can, though then commanded me not to mention that to them. And I can't disobey without triggering the chip...I'm little more than a slave at the mercy of the researchers, a tool for them to use at their disposal.

"Hey, this isn't worth my time! I've got better things to do than train some Freak brat!" My newest trainer barked at Alok.

I think he said he's a former soldier turned bounty hunter or something. He's been fighting me with a pair of daggers, and unlike my wooden sword, his blades are very much real.

"Yes, well, we've paid you quite handsomely for your services, so we expect you to fulfil what we hired you for," He responded icily.

"Tch, this sucks, I made a mistake taking on this j-...shit!" He trailed off and exclaimed in alarm as I suddenly flung my wooden sword at him with a rapid spin.

He began to raise one of his daggers to try and block it, but could only partially defend against it, a loud thud echoing out as the bottom of the handle struck the right side of his forehead.

"You little shit!" He snapped as I shot forward and leapt straight at him, flipping his grip on one of his daggers.

I grabbed his shoulders and tightly wrapped my legs around his torso to keep him from pushing me off, letting out a sharp gasp as he drove one of his daggers straight into my throat, violently twisting the blade as he plunged it in.

I then gritted my teeth before leaning forward, opening my jaws and snapping them around the side of his neck. He let out an anguished yell of pain as I viciously tore out a chunk of his neck with my teeth, the foul taste of blood filling my mouth.

I quickly sprang off him as he then wildly swiped his other dagger at me, before I pulled the first dagger out of my throat as I spat out the piece of his neck I'd bitten off and the blood. I then shot towards him again, leaping forward as I closed in.

He'll probably bleed out and die soon anyway...but I want to kill him with my own hands!

He drove his dagger into my chest with a panicked look on his face, before I repeatedly and violently stabbed his neck, blood gushing out as pulled the blade out with a sharp twist each time, before his body began to fall backwards.

But I didn't stop...or rather, I couldn't stop, adrenaline pumping through my veins as I continued to plunge the blade into his body over and over, mutilating his corpse.

"Haha, wow, that was great! It wasn't that long ago that you'd constantly get your ass kicked without laying so much as a scratch on your opponents. Hm, well, this might make it harder to find people willing to take on this job, but it's good to see that you're progressing nicely," Alok slow-clapped with a chuckle as he walked in.

I felt a surge of rage as I heard his voice, before calming myself down to keep the chip from triggering. As I got off the man I'd just killed and stepped away from his dead body, I felt immense disgust as I felt Alok place a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch me, you asshole," I growled icily.

"Ho, looks like you've figured how far you can go without triggering the chip. Maybe it's time to make some adjustments and recalibrate the trigger parameters...after all, there's still a glimmer of defiance in your eyes. That won't do...I need to kill what's left of your emotions, I need you to have the look of a dead fish in your eyes," He mused sadistically.

"If I'm done here, then I'm going to my room," I responded, as I began to walk away.

"Not so fast, brat...you know the drill, leave the dagger," He smirked as he grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Tch...," I muttered, as I took it out from the waistband of my trousers and tossed it away.

"Yeah, see what I mean? This is exactly the kind of defiance I need to kill. So just stop resisting and allow me to do so already, would you?"

"Go shove that dagger up your ass, shithead."
