Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 325: Mainframe
Hearing about this opportunity, I immediately used my Mind Eye to check everyone's stats, and none of them had Mind Power. They were all ordinary humans, which turned out to be a big mistake on their part.
"I'll take care of it," I volunteered , lifting my hands confidently while I use my suggestion.
[Suggestion : Rejected ]
"You have another job in Japan right ? " The mean looking guy questioned. His resistance to my power hinted at the possibility that he possessed something capable of neutralizing my abilties—perhaps a Moon Gem.
With this added variable in mind, I resisted the impulse to use my abilities recklessly. Instead, I took a moment to survey the surroundings, checking for any surveillance cameras.
Satisfied that there were none, I initiated plan B.
In an instant, everyone in the room froze, their bodies immobilized and voices silenced.
The realization that they had been infiltrated dawned upon them, but it was too late to escape the consequences. Only divine intervention could offer them salvation now, and I doubted even the Almighty would lend an ear to their prayers.
I inspected their belongings for any signs of the Moon gem using my Telekinesis .To my surprise, it was nowhere to be found. However, a black card caught my attention, adorned with an unusual pattern. Every person in the room possessed one, except for me.
Consulting my puppet, I discovered that I was only able to influence him before because he had carelessly left the card on his desk, feeling overly secure in the confines of an underground base.
How could he have possibly anticipated that someone like me, with a collection of powers more extensive than my underwear, would quietly teleport into his office?
I feel a twinge of pity for everyone in the room due to their lack of foresight, but then again, that's just life. Not everyone could be as clever as me.
This card wasn't made of Moon Stone, but rather an artificially crafted device emitting frequencies designed to neutralize mind control powers. Its creation was a complex process, so it was only available for people with high status and rank.
It became evident to me that the card was highly effective; if this technology could be mass-produced, my mind control powers would be rendered useless even against ordinary humans.
'Now, let's see if this will work,' I tapped the table, seamlessly blending in as I resumed using my suggestion. Carefully, I avoided any exaggerated request , ensuring that my words conveyed a subtle plea for their favor.

Just like that, all four directors completely surrendered to my control.
"I will deliver the varium, " I asked again, but this time, the mean looking man smiled at me.
"Yes," he replied with a nod.

'Another fucking scanner,' I sighed to myself, seeing yet another one.
Fortunately, I already knew the drill. Just as before, I use my black-hole ability to create a pocket of space within the walls, allowing me to effortlessly teleport past the scanner.
After that, I continued walking until I reached a metal door. Opening it, I found myself inside a long, well-lit lobby with lights behind a glass in every direction.
'Why do I feel like I've seen this place before?' I pondered to myself, a sense of déjà vu settling in.
Suddenly the door I entered through closed down , and I heard a humming sound and laser beams started to form in net formation .
[Please Insert the Key or the alarm system would activate]
A mechanical sound echoed, and that served as my cue. Each of the five directors had a key on them, and I just needed to place each one in its respective slot.
CLICK
The keys worked seamlessly, and the laser formation shut down with a satisfying click.
'Imagine if I come across a holographic girl in the end,' I chuckled to myself, imagining that scene in a zombie movie.
Unfortunately, my expectations were off the mark because what awaited me was a room filled with brains encased in numerous glass containers, each covered in a green substance.
The glass container had tubes attached, with the green substance flowing toward the center where a singular, distinct brain rested. This particular brain stood out, adorned with metals and even integrated bio-chips.
"What the hell is this things?" I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off as I gazed at these brains.
Curious, I delved once again into the subconsciousness of my puppet and inquired.
His revelation was nothing short of shocking. The brains I was currently seeing were all from Gifted individuals.
The network link they had established served the purpose of powering up this biological computer. As for its ultimate purpose, even the Directors were in the dark, but it appeared that most branches have such facilities within them.
I doubted that they created this setup without a purpose. My gut feeling hinted that Cerebrum was hiding something big, involving these Gifted brains.
"Forget it, I just need to try and see if I can do something with this biological computer first, Maybe I can learn more after hacking it," I shook my head, pushing my curiosity to the back of my mind for the time being.
I focused on studying the main brain, searching for any means to connect with it. After a thorough examination, I came across something resembling a USB port, but with a circular shape instead of the standard one.
'Let's see,' I slowly raised my fingers and inched it closer.
However, a moment of caution swept over me. It seemed foolish to proceed without clear information on whether this could be dangerous or not. I didn't want to risk putting my fingers into something of unknown origin.
But before I could even touch it, I felt a sudden surge of mental waves coming from the bio-chip brain trying to attack me.
'This is dangerous !' I exclaimed.
I attempted to disconnect my puppet, but it was too late. Whatever mental wave it was had directly connected to my Mind Link, reaching into my real body.
