Chapter 67 65- Return
Zosia appeared in the system space, her facial expression ugly, like she could kill someone.
Zosia felt the need to release her pent up emotions, especially the rage she felt and Asgar appeared at that moment.
Bam!
Asgar stared at Zosia in shock. Touching his cheeks that had unexpectedly received a punch, he blinked his eyes.
"What the hell?!"
Zosia blinked her eyelashes, suppressing back the emotions.
"Sorry, I just couldn't control myself at the moment."
Asgar immediately frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
"What happened?" His voice returning to the usual robotic one that she was familiar with.
"Just.... My emotions."
"Mmm, you didn't remove it as I told you to." He said, staring at Zosia as she sat herself on the chair in the space.
"I rushed into another mission after seeing my balance."
Sitting on the other sofa opposite her, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your safety comes first. Always have that in mind."
Zosia looked at Asgar and gulped, she felt that the cutie looked a little handsome when he talked to her like that.
A smile appeared on her face, "It's fine. But.... Why can't we choose when to go?" She asked the question she had in her mind.
If she had stayed, maybe Mirabel won't be captured. She could surely have done better.
"You can say... it's a protection mechanism."
"Protection mechanism?" She said with a doubt filled tone, as she laid on the chair, her legs crossed.
"Yeah. Imagine if everyone had the choice to come back whenever they wish or stay for as long as they wanted, they would not want to come back and then destroy the lives of the host they occupy.
Remember, not everyone has the same psych and mentality as you do. Everyone is different."
Zosia pondered on the statement for a while. "You are right."
"Yeah, I know. Make sure to go and wipe those emotions. It would make you unstable in your next task."
"I will." She murmured, "Why are you here, anyway?" She asked. "I didn't take the normal task but from the task centre."
"I know, I noticed, some fluctuations and came to check on you." He crossed his leg, his eyes meeting the curious eyes staring at him.
Zosia opened her mouth to ask another question when she had to swallow it back.
"Don't ask me what type of fluctuations. Those details are not privy to you."
"Fine. I don't even have enough brain cells to bother about something like that." She muttered.
"Yeah... So go wipe those emotions, I.. I will wait for you here." He wanted to ask if he should wait for her, but thinking about her character. He knew that if he left, she would shelve going to wipe her emotions.
"You don't have to wait for me." She said and grunted as she stood up from the chair.
Her eyes inadvertently scanned her space, turning to Asgar, she asked; "Can the system space be expanded?"
"Yes. And, you don't have to go to the task centre to collect your reward. Just ask your chip to calculate it. Also, take this." He said, handing her a black card.
"What is this for?"
"Your system level is just basic library, notification and a task panel. This card helps increase the library function. It would be needed in the task we are going to go for."
"Only increasing the library function?" She asked, her eyes scanning the card.
"It also has a lot of knowledge pockets that give more knowledge to the things about the Soul world to it." He paused for a moment, then continued, "Lucian asked me to give it to you, so the knowledge is more expansive than you think."
"How do I use it?"
"Just call up your chip slot and put it inside. Before you do that, collect your reward first then wait, as you would be unable to go for the next normal task."
"Ooh... Okay. Tell him thank you for me."
He nodded,about to leave when he remembered he hadn't satiated his curiosity.
"Which world type did you go to?"
"Modern world heading to apocalypse."
"Willing to give me details? I want to know what made your emotional fluctuations so high." He immediately said his reason.
"Well, it's nothing much. Sure, I am willing." She crossed her leg, tucking the card in her chip inventory.
Zosia sighed and stared at him.
"So, this is the background summary of the world and...."
An hour later, she was done telling her story. She had some emotional fluctuations, but they weren't much and could be considered negligible as compared to what sge was feeling the moment she came back.
"That's cruel of Kael, but life is unfair. So, you can only work harder to have power to deal with such vermins when they come up."
Zosia closed her eyes and didn't answer. She had glossed over some details, but she knew that Asgar was smart enough to pick them up.
"Thanks for sharing with me. Though some things didn't link up, at least I have the general gist." He said and left the system space.
"Tsk, someone that said he would wait for me till I do the emotional wipe."
Just after she finished talking, Asgar reappeared.
"I forgot, I said I would wait for you. Quick, go and do it. I need to go somewhere."
"Aish, you don't have to wait for me then." Hearing her statement, Asgar looked at her, his eyes looked like he was staring at a troublesome child.
"Fine." She immediately left the space without doing what she usually did.
Usually, she prefers taking her bath immediately after coming back from a mission. It reminds her of her former life, where after each mission, you are given a few days rest, your reward and continuing with your training.
She always revised her mission in her head, thinking of the best ways she could have achieved the same result.
She preferred thinking like this in a bathtub with warm water or cold water for distressing her nerves and tense muscles.
Dipping herself in the water with her favourite body scented oil, cools her brain and calms her heart.
"I better be fast with this and go do it. I am already feeling cranky without it." She muttered, appearing on the marble pavement.
What do you think?
