Chapter 82 - Eighty - Two : Mission Impossible
" You guys can glare as much as you want but I'm not letting my brother out until you guys tell me what you are up-to " She-zukai stood her ground with arms folded stubbornly while Ben facepalm and Dan groaned.
Dan knew how difficult it was for him to track down this idiot and teleport him here, all because of Ben but unfortunately his sister took over.
"We need him for something important " Ben said with a pleading expression.
"I can help out only if you tell me what you're dragging my brother into " She still insisted.
Dan rubbed his hand on his face, he hated bickerings the most cause it heightened the intensity of voices in his head since everyone tend to be loud - now, would be the right time to switch off his telepathic ability.
" He wants your brother to track down an object for him " Dan spilled pointing at Ben.
Ben threw his hands up with an exasperated sigh.
"What object? " She questioned, a curious gleam in her eyes.
"A cellphone that contains vital information about us " Dan answered.
"Ooh " She cooed " Wait, till Asher hears that" she said in a tone that clearly implied that Asher was going to skin the poor boy alive .
Ben cringed " He'll kill me "
"Which won't happen if we find the cellphone first " Dan countered.
"Fine then " Zukai agreed "Where's the cellphone?"
"Ummm " Ben muttered and searched his pocket before pulling out a drawing sheet and placed it on the bed.
Zukai raised a brow as she went through the drawing, the boy had etched a realife Samsung Galaxy S20. The drawing was so graphic and detailed that she couldn't help but marvel at his skill.
But what was she to do with this?
She picked the sheet asking "What's this for?"
"I know " started Ben "Your brother has psychometry and I was wondering - "
"You want my brother to track your cellphone through this drawing? " she interjected.
"Yes " Ben nodded
She gave him a funny look
"What? "
She shook her head "You're so adorable and stupid " zukai gibed at his foolishness.
Ben's face twitched, he didn't know whether to take her comment as a compliment or insult.
" I'm sorry but my brother's Power doesn't work that way " She stated firmly "You see , my brother through touch gains knowledge of an object, sometimes including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it.
This is achieved because each object contains residual information of the object or person which he can now trace through clairsentient contact."
She waved the sheet in her hand in a ridiculous manner and continued her explanation "But what you're asking him to do is simply unachievable , moreover that drawing now contains your residue since you touched it and even if he does trace it , it would surely lead back to you "
" Definitely told the idiot but he wouldn't listen " Dan smirked.
Ben protested "Atlest I tried! "
"Yeah, you indeed did! " sassed Dan with a huge scowl on his face.
Then before Ben's eyes, zukai began to transform. The previous sexy blue haired voluptuous lady immediately disappeared and a tall, burly, blue haired gorgeous guy began to form - her brother.
"Oh my God " Ben gasped, though Dan had told him that the both were chimeric twins but he didn't give it much thoughts.
But seeing their transformation up close and live, it was... awe-inspiring and totally unbelievable to the extent his eyes almost bulged out of it's socket while his jaw dropped.
But what shocked Ben the most was their ability to retain the clothing each was wearing upon manifestation. Did their clothes seep into their skin or something?
But just as Ben was about to ask, Dan pressed his finger tightly against his lips with a warning gaze that says 'say a word and I'm done with you '
Ben sulked, he refused to believe he was that predictable but there was nothing he could do.He just hoped they find the cellphone on Time.
" My sister filled me in on everything, who's the guy that Asher is going to skin " He-zukai asked as soon as he took over his body.
"He won't die cause we're already making plan on recovering the cellphone " Dan countered and then, gestured towards Ben.
Prompted, Ben explained " I think a student must have picked up my cellphone before the stampede; I lost consciousness before the whole chaos began and must have dropped it then "
"So you want me to trace all of them? " Zukai prodded.
" Probably . We are going to begin with the hospital since most students were admitted and using that opportunity, investigate and figure out which students left before the stampede and those who've been discharged from the hospital already " Ben suggested handling the sheet to zukai who committed the drawing to his memory.
"Let's go then " Dan said and placed his hand on their shoulder and next they found themselves in the hospital's restroom.
Ben and zukai raised a brow when they discovered they were inside the men's toilet .
" Sorry " Dan smiled bashfully "This is what happens when I have a vague description of where we're heading to " He scratched his head awkwardly.
Ben was relieved, thankfully it wasn't the ladies toilet. No one was using the urinary and the few men available were stucked in the toilet cubicle doing their business , so no one saw them come out of nowhere else the vampires would've knocked them out.
Without wasting time, they all left for their diverse missions - Zukai went to go steal a doctor's coat which would help camouflage his intentions since it'll be weird going around and touching students.
Since Ben and Dan were already students, they didn't need to disguise themselves and went straight to the hospital ward.
It wasn't hard to locate the students thanks to their loud and endless chatterings, not to take of the female's excited shrieks when Dan stepped into the 8 - bed ward.
There was an indirect wall-mounted unit above each bed with 39W compact fluorescent lamps while the curtains separating each beds were pulled back.
Ben remained invisible in their eyes while they rushed at Dan who had this dry look on his face as if he would teleport right in front of everybody anytime soon.
