The Gene Gamer

Looking at the blank white eye he could see a terrifying power hidden within. The eye seemed to contain the secrets of the universe as it looked at everything indifferently.

But this indifference collapsed when it met with his right eye. The eyes were the gate to the soul, through the eyes one could see the other's soul.

He could see the state of the girl's soul, seemingly extraordinary and beautiful with terrifying power hidden within the actual state of it was much worse.

The original soul was a beautiful and clear soul with a charm that could make a person fall in love with it at first sight. The soul was as tough as a mountain while also being as flexible as rubber.

Hidden within the soul was a perfectly round eyeball looking directly at him.

When he looked at the eyeball the feeling of losing control increased but he resisted it and stopped looking at the eyes of the girl.

Within this moment he had understood the basic state of the girl.

With his speculation, the seal inside his soul was restraining his talent. He thought of two possibilities which the first was that the world had suppressed his talent because it was too monstrous or either it had sealed itself from making it cause too much damage to him.

If he was right his talent would equal the talent of the girl when the seal fully breaks which is when he advances to the third-tier.

The talent of the girl was too monstrous which was beyond the limit the girl's soul could handle. Which ended up in her talent hurting and injuring herself and causing irreversible damage to the girl.

If his talent was equal to the girl then if the seal weren't there to restrain his talent he would end up in a similar state to the girl, weak and not so intelligent.

If the girl doesn't have the talent removed from her then she will sooner or later die.

Sure he was very greedy of this talent of hers, maybe he could try snatching it or stealing it.

But greed wouldn't lead to anything good and if he steals her talent while he was only a second-tier genetician he would blow up from the excessive burden on his body caused by two extraordinary talents.

He should at least think of stealing it when he had become a third-tier existence.

...

Sitting on the couch he drank the tea calmly even though his fingers were shaking and even he was releasing 'nervous' fluctuations.

This was intentionally caused by him in order to fool the people monitoring him.

He had already guessed that this girl was an important person from a powerful organization, her talent was immeasurable, and if he didn't react when he met with her eyes, which meant confronting the soul of her.

That means he should've felt the terrifying power of the soul, with the talent of him he should be able to resist the charm of her soul, but he should be nervous and tired since his talent wasn't as great as her's.

If he didn't show this reaction then he would be suspected by the organization until they investigate and find about his talent which wasn't a situation he would want to see.

If he was right then the leader or a powerful existence wanted to steal her talent. So if he is also revealed then they might also try stealing his talent.

Unless a fourth-tier patriarch doesn't come his acting won't be revealed.

Sitting on the couch, he put down the cup in his hand and lowered his gaze not daring to look into the girl's eyes.

Everything was clear to the girl but due to the irreversible damage she had received, her intelligence was lowered significantly so she only caught the clues but didn't find the reason.

Besides even if she knew the reason she would forget it soon and won't tell others.

"Young lady, could you tell the reason you had invited me here?"

"Um, why did you give the gun to 17? And he is hurt so I wanted to know what you will do"

"If young lady wants to know, my cultivation advances by absorbing negative emotion radiated by the person, so I wanted to make 17 despair so I could absorb it. He has something contained within him that was very helpful to me, and the only way I can get it was through a weakness in his soul. When the emotional energy comes out his soul would have a weakness and from it, I can harvest all the energy I needed from him in one go. And also this way it won't make the quality go down. The energy is also useless to anyone besides me and it might even have side effects on people"

Considering who asked, he told all the truth. Yes, there was an energy within Larray that was helpful to him, when he was young Larray may have encountered a fortune so that some strange energy entered him. That may also be the reason why he could do so many things that only a human could do.

The energy was some parts of the yin-yang rune, the rune that represented balance.

If anyone had absorbed this kind of energy the rune or energy they have been mastering would turn to the exact opposite.

For example, if a person had been cultivating a fire type gene after this rune goes into their body the gene would turn to become a water type gene. This would result in the gene exploding and inflicting damage to the host.

But with his ghost characteristics, he may be able to absorb it and use it as a fuel to comprehend the death rune.

After realizing the reason, Senpek put her hands on her head and made an understanding posture.

"Ohhh, so it was like that. If mister wants to take 17 I will gladly give you since he has no uses to other people. I will lead you to the place where he lives." the girl replied happily with a joyful tone.

It was all a trap from the start, he had brainwashed 17 to make him feel very close to him and also convinced the subconscious mind to feel very happy around him.

...

"Here it is mister. I hope that your wish will be fulfilled." a smile emerged on her face as she said this.

Smiling while also nodding at the girl he entered the house and turned to the direction Larray's room was in.

"Knock knock knock knock"

The sound of knocking a door came out as the creaking sound of a door opening followed after.

Larray was laying on the floor with a pool of blood around him, if he was left without being attended he will have died in two days. Well the reason he could be alive for that long was that the energy within him was activated but he can't use much of it.

After injecting Larray lifeforce, the eyes gradually opened as his consciousness came.

"Mis... ter?"
