Neurolink System in the Modern World

Alice's alter ego was stunned for a moment. She realized that I didn't care about the original at all.

She had underestimated just how stubborn and petty I could be.

"I won't be able to wake up if you don't help me," she tried to threaten me, her voice tinged with desperation

I could have continued to be stubborn, but I remembered that I still had to visit Ayumi later. I had been neglecting her too much lately.

"You're really troublesome," I sighed, realizing I had no choice but to help her.

"So, how can I help?" I asked her, not wanting to waste any more time.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed, jumping in joy upon hearing my confirmation.

"She's under the castle. The trauma she experienced triggered her defense mechanism, so now she can't wake up. I'm powerless to do anything since I'm restricted in this place," she explained.

"I thought you created this place," I mused aloud.

"No, this place had already existed since I gained awareness. I can only teleport here, " she replied, her voice carrying a sense of deep reflection as she delved into the origins the castle.

"So the original Alice created this subconsciously?" I mused aloud, a chuckle escaping my lips.

"She has a weird taste," I joked, pointing out the peculiar style of the place.

With newfound clarity about the real Alice's whereabouts, all I needed to do was awaken her and bring this mission to its long-awaited conclusion.

"Lead the way, " I ordered.

Alice's alter ego nodded and waved her hands.

Suddenly, everything changed, and we found ourselves in a different room.

It was a basement with a high ceiling, the floors and walls made of rough cobalt stone, giving the space an imposing atmosphere.

In the center of the room, a red crystal stood, radiating an ominous glow, and within it, Alice was trapped, her form suspended in an ethereal slumber.

She was wearing nothing, her body fully exposed within the crystal's confines.

'She has a nice body, not gonna lie,' I thought to myself as I enjoyed the view for a moment. A few seconds won't make a difference anyway.

"What are you doing?" Alice's alter ego interrupted me, noticing my lack of movement.

"I need to observe the crystal first," I made an excuse, taking the opportunity to walk around the crystal and catch a glimpse of her back view.

'Nice ass, too,'

With my curiosity fully satisfied, it was now time to focus on my task at hand. I always seemed to get sidetracked when it comes to girls.

Gently, I reached out to touch the surface of the red crystal, feeling a strange energy coursing through my fingertips.

'This thing is made of pure Mind Power,' I concluded after observing the energy emanating from the crystal.

'If that's the case, then this will be much easier than I expected,' I mused confidently. After all, I'm an expert when it comes to Mind Power.

With a focused mind, I began to channel my own Mind power, sending waves of energy towards the crystal, willing it to awaken the slumbering Alice within.

As my power mingled with the crystal's essence, cracks began to form on its surface like delicate spiderwebs, illuminated by a soft glow. Alice's body stirred within, and her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Wake up," I uttered, and with that, the crystal completely shattered, sending shards flying in all directions.

At the same time, the entire space plunged into darkness, and I found myself back in Alice's hospital room, the events of the chamber still fresh in my mind.

She was still sleeping, but I noticed her eyes twitching, a sign that she was beginning to wake up.

"Zyden," she began to mumble, her voice barely audible ..

When her eyes fully opened, she squinted against the sudden brightness, her eyes struggling to adjust to the light. For a moment, she felt disoriented, her surroundings blurred as her vision slowly cleared.

The moment her vision finally normalized, she looked at me with a longing expression.

As tears streamed down her cheeks, Alice forced her weak hands to reach out and touch mine.

Her fingers trembled with emotion as they made contact, and a sense of relief washed over her as she felt the warmth of my hand in hers.

'Wait, I feel like this is not a good idea,' I sighed to myself.

I got boner when she touched me. She was my SIMP son's chick, and getting involved with her felt really wrong. Even though I didn't recognize that kid as mine, nor did I care, I still felt a little uneasy about the situation.

In the off chance that he was really my son, wouldn't it mean that I stole her girl?

"I remember everything," she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper, as tears continued to streak down her cheeks.

"I missed you," she whispered, her words filled with longing and emotion, her gaze locking onto mine with an intensity that spoke volumes.

Despite the changes to my appearance, the similarities between my current face and my old one were unmistakable, so she must had assumed that I was her childhood sweetheart.

"I'll heal you first," I spoke up to shift this awkward situation. Activating my ability, I watched as she began to regain her health at an accelerated rate.

After a minute or so, her physical body was restored to full health, her exhaustion healed and vitality replenished.

"Thank you, Zyden," she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude as she hugged me tightly from her bed.

"You're welcome," I replied with a sigh, gently patting her head .

Feeling her warm body against mine made me imagine things, bad things.

"I will call the nurse so they can take care of you," I said, gently pushing her shoulder.

"Please," she pleaded, her eyes searching mine desperately, "don't leave me again."

"Don't worry, I won't," I reassured her with a gentle smile, my voice calm and warm. "I just need to take care of a few things."
