Chapter 65: Uninvited Guests
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! A high-pitched alarm shrieked, shattering the silence of the St. Mary's Hospital basement. Emergency red lights along the corridor began to spin frantically, drowning the room in a terrifying, blood-red glow. Raka, who had just been trying to process the fact that he was now part machine, was jolted so hard he nearly fell off the operating table. His right shoulder, freshly stitched up by Vanya, throbbed with pain, but he ignored it. "Vanya! What's that sound?!" Raka covered his ears with his free left hand. "Did your electric fence fail again? Ninja lizards? A horde?" Vanya, who a second ago was still smiling obsessively at her creation in Raka's chest, was now frozen. Her face, which usually radiated a confident madness, suddenly turned deathly pale. Her futuristic glasses flickered rapidly, displaying a series of blazing red data streams. "No," Vanya whispere
Chapter 64: The Heart Anomaly
"Vanya," Raka's voice trembled, his gaze shifting from his chest, now covered in a long line of stitches, to the face of the mad doctor before him. "What do you mean by 'hardware upgrade'?"Vanya placed her coffee cup on a cleaned surgical tray. She stood up, took a digital stethoscope from her white coat pocket, and walked towards Raka."Calm down, Guinea Pig," Vanya said, her professional smile back in place. "Don't let your panic ruin my most beautiful creation. Raise your left arm."Raka reluctantly obeyed. Vanya pressed the tip of the stethoscope, which emitted a faint blue light, directly over the long incision on Raka's sternum.The woman closed her eyes for a moment, listening to a rhythm that, to Raka, sounded like a cybernetic nightmare."Magnificent," Vanya murmured to herself. "The micro-controller's synchronization with your biological sinoatrial node is at 98.7%. The copper wire conductivity is flawless, with no acute immune rejection. I mean, there's some minor inflamma
Chapter 63: Caffeine Hallucination and Cold Steel
"Eight..."Raka's voice faded into an indistinct mumble. The giant operating lamp above him dimmed, but his vision didn't immediately go black. The anesthetic Vanya had injected felt cold as it coursed through his veins, but the remnants of pure caffeine from the energy bar and coffee essence he'd consumed at the Sentosa Warehouse were still waging a fierce battle in his nervous system.The result wasn't a dreamless sleep. It was a horrifying semi-conscious state. A twilight sleep. His body was completely paralyzed, his physical pain gone, but his brain was trapped in a terrifyingly vivid hallucination.Raka opened his eyes. He was no longer in the cold morgue.He was standing behind a warm mahogany bar. A shiny La Marzocco espresso machine hissed softly behind him. The aroma of freshly ground Arabica coffee beans filled the air, covering the smell of blood and soot that had previously clung to his clothes."My coffee shop..." Raka whispered, his hand tracing the smooth surface of the
Chapter 60: Vanya's Cold Welcome
"I... brought your items," Raka whispered hoarsely, breaking the suffocating silence.He lifted the scorched burlap sack with his trembling left hand and dropped it onto the white tiled floor with a soft thud.Raka stood panting in the steel doorway, leaning on the frame to keep from collapsing.The back of his denim jacket was burnt, his left arm was covered in reddish blisters, and his right shoulder was dislocated beneath its makeshift sling.His face, smeared with dust and soot, reflected a man who had just crawled out of hell.Beside him, Luna supported Baginda, whose feathers were singed and leg was badly lame. The mute girl watched Vanya with the wariness of a soldier entering enemy territory.However, Vanya remained unmoved. The woman in the pristine white coat stood behind the stainless steel surgical table, her eyes hidden behind futuristic glasses, staring straight at Raka.There was no sympathetic reaction from Vanya. No "Are you okay?" or "What happened out there?"The wo
Chapter 61: Aftermath and Bone Soup
Raka landed on a grassy patch outside the warehouse parking area, rolling several times to absorb the impact. He protected the burlap sack in his arms with his own body."I'm alive," he whispered.And most importantly, he had managed to bring back the goods."Vanya," Raka mumbled weakly, a faint smile on his lips, "...I hate shopping."The rumbling of the explosion gave way to the sound of fire consuming the remains of the Sentosa Warehouse. The giant steel structure was now just a pile of rubble belching thick black smoke.Raka lay on his back on the grass, about two hundred meters from the blast's epicenter. His breathing was still ragged.The effects of the high-dose adrenaline shot were starting to fade, and the pain he had postponed during that "one minute of perception" was now coming to collect its debt with compound interest.His scorched back felt like it was being roasted, his right shoulder throbbed sharply, and his heart felt like an engine that had run out of oil, creakin
Chapter 60: Run or Burn
The lever clicked down.The cannibal giant slumped to the floor, his breathing stopped, the light of life fading from his bulging eyes.Over the hum of the growing fire in the corner of the warehouse, Raka suddenly heard a series of high-pitched, rapid, and rhythmic beeps.Beep... beep... beep... beep...The sound wasn't coming from one place. It was coming from dozens of different points throughout the vast warehouse. Raka looked up, his smoke-stung eyes following the
