"Who are you," I asked the girl right in front of me.
"My name is Lily Nawaki and you."
"Mine is Rial, oh nice to meet you."
As I mentioned my name to her, a brief sense of familiarity passed between us. And for a moment she seemed like she had a ghost. Her expression shifted from composure to eyes full of tears in seconds.
"Can you say that again,"she said for me to repeat my statement.
"Okay, my name is Rial. My meaning is the second moon and the stars above which represent hope and luck.
"Oh... sounds like we have a similar meaning in our names".
"I guess so.'
"Well I have to excuse myself, i have to go and help my school mates."
"You can go on ahead."
And as she walked away the same sensation that might have felt dove into me. A warm sensation that felt quite wonderful. I did not want to let go of this sensation.
"Hey, Rial we need to talk," max called out again.
"What is it"
"I just found out that the target that we came here for has escaped long before we even arrived here."
Deep within me this was great news since I don't have to plan to fool these guys and yet I still want to kill that man.
"Hmm... sounds like he beat to it."
My expression was calm nothing seemed to be wrong with me. Even though we might have lost our one and only chance of finding him. I still had that expression on my face.
"You don't look surprised at all. It is as if you knew this would happen?
"Yeah... I might have thought this outcome might happen so I decided to not approach this with all my strength."
"So what do we do now." He asked as if I knew the answer to his problem.
"Why do not we retrieve the blue print you talked about".
"Sure but it might take a while but we can go today."
We packed our bags and said we were going to explore the kingdom's other scenery. But in truth we were just going to visit the facility Max grew up in.
We walked through a dark dense forest which was trapped with wild animals and wild birds. The trees above blocked any light from the sun from coming in, which somehow made the journey worse. Kakashi didn't say a single thing on the whole journey, he only talked once when we reached the facility.
We stood there in awl! the building was a tall building with blue painting on the outside and white on the inside. The texture of the building was a smooth continuous building. Apart from its smooth texture there wasn't any texture and guards behind it all wore a long shimmering white clothing.
Even their shoes and gloves were all white. They all wore white shaded sunglasses and white nose masks. The building was well built from the outside layer to the inside layer. Going in won't be easy but Max had a plan.
"We should use the back door at the inner prison," Max said point to the door on the far side of the building.
"Okay'
And as we went down to the tunnel that led to the back office. A door in the corner caught my eye.
"Hey Max what is this?
"I don't know, I have never entered this room before."
"Mind if we check it out?
"I don't mind, besides I want to now."
"Are sure we should waste time there." Kakashi said as we were about to waste time searching for nothing.
"Kakashi I know how you feel but there are more chances for us than him in this world so don't on one thing." I said to him in an attempt to calm him down.
"Sure do what you want."
Then we opened the door.
The view in front of us left all of us speechless. The view in front of us was so horrifying that I had to blink twice before believing it.
Right in front of our eyes we saw a woman tied by ropes. On a chair, watching just the colour of the room. And above her was a tank of water, which was slowly dropping on her head. The room was completely white and void of all colours. And the worst part is she has lived in that room for a long time. The mental destruction that had happened to her caused her to develop; Non human development.
She had become "Depersonalized".
Everything in her was gone, every sense of humanity had been removed from her. The trick they used was simple but yet the most effective mechanism. They used the white torture method. A method which when used removes all sense of humanity due to the psychological pressure behind it. It breaks the human mind into pieces then it is replaced by a robotic personality. The same happened to Max generation but theirs was less than this.
And at that moment, we all looked at her wondering what to do?
"What is this? Kakashi asked in general confusion to the situation.
"That is the white torture method," Max said it in a tone that sounded like he'd seen many people gone through the same thing."But in my time there weren't any dropping water." He said again.
"The water drops are the main trigger. The drops produce sound waves that enter her brain and dysfunctions the mind. And due to the colour of the room which also psychologically breaks her slowly. She slowly became depersonalised." I said it with a bit of the saddest in my eyes.
"That is awful," Kakashi said.
"We have to get the blue then take her away." Max said.
"That works; Max you get the blue print. Kakashi and I Kakashi will focus on freeing her without breaking any alarm."
"Sounds like a plan."
Max hurried to the office. Meanwhile Kakashi and I were focusing on freeing her while she still looked like a dead body. And when we both made physical contact with her. We found out that the natural warmth that emits from everyone had been collected from her. Her skin was as cold as a piece of ice in the large fridge that had been shaped like a human.
We both knew they would come to find out and begin searching again. So we had to delay her disappearance for a while before they eventually found out.
"I can just make a clone that acts and lives like her here." Kakshi said noticing my discomfort of the situation.
"Yeah... that will do for a while, I just hope by the time they find out she would have already escaped.
"That would be the best situation but you have put the word in consideration."
"What words?
"Expect less and you will never be disappointed."
"Oh... that will I already have a plan."
"Is that so."
"Yeah but it comes later in the future." As I said this I had already put some plans into action.
The woman had a royal jewellery which met that either she was a royal or related to a royal. And either the kingdom had betrayed her in secret or an action to disinherit her. But will they go so far?
Yeah they would, the world is not such a loving and peaceful place.
A few moments later Max returned with the blue print. It had some records of the institution and how it was built. The ins and outs of the place, the stuff, the semester topics. The training regiments, everything was on this paper.
"Poff"
A light sound could be heard as Kakashi created the clone of her in her place. And as I looked at them both there weren't any differences between them. But due to my pure eyes, when I looked at them again this time with the pure eyes. The mistakes were clearly easy to find.
The clone was slower than the main body, it had more magical power than the master which should have been impossible. Because to create a clone you have to slit your magical power into 2. One for yourself and the second for the clone.
"Alright let's get away from this house."
"Yeah"
We took the woman with us to the teachers at school only telling them the bare minimum. Then Mrs Celia said:
"You guys should get already we will be visiting the King's Castle today."
"Okay... just give about 30 minutes."
"Okay."
