Commission (2)

"Humph! Hhmhmp!"

The paralyzed guy making a noise.

I breathe heavily.

I look around and realize just what happened.

"Is he dead?"

I check the doctor's pulse, if he is still breathing.

…

"Dead…"

The body was already cold and breathless.

Seeing his blood scattered on the ground, it seems he died by blood loss

"What about that guy?"

I hurried to look at the guy I smacked and check his pulse.

…

Luckily, he's just unconscious.

"Phew…"

I already catch my breath and make myself calm. But to be a fact that killed someone, there's still a lingering feeling left from it.

This is the second time I killed someone. Even though they're criminals, I still feel sympathy for them.

"Hhmmpp! Hhmmmp!" paralyzed guy making noise.

I should tie them before they can move.

And so I tied the two men that were still alive.

How long does the paralytic last? The same with the unconscious guy, how long will he be unconscious?

So I tied them tightly.

"Done."

Luckily, they didn't use their ability, or else I don't stand a chance at all. Is it because it happened so fast that they forgot to use it?

But I'm glad it didn't.

Now, I need to escape from this place. But before going, I need to cleanse myself. My body has blood all over me.

So I look around, and it's a good thing that there's a sink here. After washing my body and head, I found some clothes. It's a doctor's suit to be exact, the white coat and white long sleeves polo.

"Now, I have something to change."

But the long sleeves are the only thing I wear, and I still kept the same pants I wore in the first place since it didn't get spilled from the flood.

After changing, I search for some weapons next.

I pick up the knife that I drop to use it again. And I'm thinking of getting the injection as well, but I'm never able to. 'Cause as soon as I grab the injection on the paralyzed person's arm, the needle snaps.

"Hhhmmppp!!" The person felt the needle.

How did the needle snap? Did I forcefully…?

I drop the injection and quickly look at the tray. I was hoping if there's other injection, but I wasn't able to find one.

I found the bottle of the drug used for injection. I'm thinking of using it as a secret weapon, but it was empty, so it never did.

The other things on the tray were a saw, scissors, and a hammer.

Since all of them are equipment for surgery, the saw was hard to hold properly, and the scissors are too small, so I picked up the hammer because that's the only one I can use as a weapon.

Now I'm fully prepared and went closer to the door.

I'm holding the knife in my left hand while the hammer in the right hand. I grip them tightly so that I can't drop them by any chance.

I look outside before going out. The front of the door is just a wall, so I just look left and right.

After confirming the area, I gathered my courage.

"All right, let's do this." I said quietly.

Then I left the room.

🚪

Once I get out, I walk to a long hallway.

"Where the f*ck even this place?"

Every room I come across is either a storage room or a room that is full of boxes.

I didn't even bother investigating those rooms and continued walking.

I walked and walked and walked until I heard some footsteps on the left way, far ahead. Because of that, I panic and enter some random door.

But I didn't expect what's inside the room I entered. The room was like a meat shop, it's full of meat. But the meat was not some kind of animal, it's rather… human meat. Their full bodies aligned with each other, and their nape was hooked on the chain.

It's really inhumane to do these things. To look at such a thing, it makes me tremble.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

!

The footsteps were getting closer here.

"This is bad." I soon muttered then quickly hid behind some refrigerator.

Creak!

A guy entered. He's a big, masculine, bald man wearing an apron. Like he's a butcher, to be exact.

Clack! Clack!

The guy went further inside, heading to the thick, wide log with a butcher knife stuck in it. As soon as he reached the butcher knife, he unstuck it. After grabbing the knife, he picks a body from one of that chained alignment and starts chopping it in the log.

Thug! Thug!

The sound of the knife hitting the flesh and log. He chops and chop it like how a butcher chop.

How cruel the people here can be? Not only I saw a room for removing organs, there's a room for human meat as well.

I need to get out of this place and report it.

After I mustered my courage, I started sneaking to try to reach the door while the guy was butchering.

But he still noticed me.

When I almost reached the door, the butcher hit a chained body with the back of his knife. And because of the force, the bodies that align hit each other, passing it to me. And those, I flew away from the door.

The butcher grabbed a chain from atop, then threw it at me after I flew. I saw what he did and was able to dodge it, but it made me move away more from the door.

As soon as I was away from the door, he took another chain and tied the door with it.

"I never thought someone could escape." The butcher said and looked at me, "Hey, what happened to the doctor?"

Doctor? He immediately asked that?

"...he's already dead." I said.

"Is that so… if that's the case, then perhaps you have powers as well?"

"..."

Powers? Does he mean ability?

"...I will take that silence as a yes." He sighs, "This is a pain in the a*s. I guess I'm going to remove organs from now… starting from yo–"

Before finishing his sentence, he waves his butcher knife. Using the flat side, it makes some unknown force and hits me from a distance.

I felt the force in my shoulder like I got hit by a ball or something. And because of the force, it made my knife toss away.

After getting hit, I step back to try to take my balance on and not fall.

!

After balancing, he dashed towards me and swung his butcher knife. And I dodge it as soon as I see the knife coming towards me, then hit him in the arm with the hammer afterwards.

But the attack didn't seem to hurt him, 'cause he didn't flinch at all.

He swung his knife again, and likewise I dodge it then hit him again. The result is the same, my attack didn't hurt him.

I hit his shoulder, back, head. But nothing affected him.

"That's useless 'cause I already strengthen my muscles." He said.

"Is that your ability?" I asked.

"You mean power? Well, yes."

We continue fighting nonstop. I keep hitting and dodging. Sometimes I use the dead bodies around us to block his attack, but it's useless because he can cut through the meat. We have been doing that until.

Clank!

My hammer flew. He hit my hammer too hard, and it flew away.

He swung his knife multiple times. I managed to dodge it, but the swing became faster.

I used the dead bodies again, but likewise he cut through.

After dodging his attack, I grab the chain and swing myself to him, then kick him. And that made him move backward.

Once the distance widens, I run into the door and try to remove the chain in it. But I wasn't able to, as soon he threw something at me.

It was hard and forceful. I look at it for what it is. It was a limb.

While looking at it, I didn't notice that he's dashing towards me.

!

By the time I notice him, he's already swung his knife.

I dodged it, but he managed to slice my arm. The cut is not too deep, but it made it bleed.

I backed away far from him.

He starts running towards me. So I quickly grab the chain and attempt to swing myself into him.

"Don't think that will work twice."

As soon as he said that, he swung his knife upward. Knowing that he would hit me, I immediately let go of the chain and fell.

When I fell on the ground, I saw the surgical knife that I dropped. I pick it up and start stabbing the butcher's leg.

I stab, I stab, I stab. It was working, as I stabbed him, his leg started to bleed.

"You f*cking…"

He kicks me away.

After kicking me, he grabs a dead body and cuts its chain, then throws the corpse into me. And it hit me because I didn't have time to react.

He rushed towards me and swung his knife when I got by the body he threw. I quickly get up and block his attack with the corpse that was thrown to me.

His knife cut through. But I already know it's useless, so I already let go of the corpse before it got cut, and that gives me a chance to tackle him.

Using my full strength, the tackle is successful. 'Cause not only did he fell down, he dropped his knife as well.

While on the top of his body, I punched him multiple times.

But punching him didn't last long, as he punched back. Just a few punches I received made me weak and fell to the side.

I hardly breathe, and my body feels weak. The tiredness from fighting since the doctor until this butcher, getting on me.

While catching my breath, he grabs my feet. When I looked at him, he already raised his butcher knife. As soon as he swung down the knife, I kicked his arm and made the aim move a bit. But unfortunately, I still got hit from the side of my leg.

I kicked his face to get away. Afterwards I crawl far from him.

After making some distance, I sat down. I look at the wound in my leg. The cut was deep and painful. I waited for it to regenerate, but it didn't.

Huh? It didn't regenerate? But why?

I waited long until the butcher already stood up holding his knife, but my wound was still not healing.

The butcher started walking towards me. And I'm here on the ground sitting, helpless.

"...this is over…" He said, as he's getting closer.

"Over, ha?..."

Hearing that made me laugh.

"Ha…haha…hahaha…hahahahaha!"
