BXBX NOVEL Chapter 246 - Returning To The Warehouse
The mountainous region despite its environment making it harder for Adam to breathe, it was still quite suited for Adam\'s combat style. His body\'s resistance was more than enough to deal with the cold and since it was spacious, it allowed Adam to make the most of his speed, his agility and the Step Skip Skill.
Adam\'s hunt went quite well, but compared to the night before, wasn\'t as productive as he kept thinking about his aunt and that was all he spoke to Ava about while he was recovering.
Ava was very understanding and supportive of Adam as she knew just how much he loved his aunt and knew that he only wanted the best for her, but Adam was still restless and didn\'t understand why he had such a bad feeling.
After hunting in the dungeon for 16 hours, which was mostly spent using the Ethereal Recovery SKill to recover his energy storages and HP between battles, Adam decided to return to reality, just like he had planned.
Feeling the same warping sensation, he woke up in his bed as he instantly spread his spiritual sense to check where his aunt was.
Adam found her awake, despite it being quite early in the morning and she had already made breakfast and was sat a the dining table.
[That is unusual, can you tell me what happened while I was in the dungeon?] asked Adam.
{I am sorry Adam. The program won\'t let me, but I can tell you that something has changed} answered Ava who was clearly in pain as she answered.
[Don\'t try to force yourself, Ava, I know you care and are trying to help me. I appreciate it] thanked Adam who could feel Ava trying to fight against the program.
[You will hurt yourself and might even cause your soul and sentience to be destroyed, so be careful] warned her Adam.
He could feel her desire to help him and it made him feel warm and loved, but he didn\'t want her to hurt herself to help him, especially in the vulnerable and bound form that she was in.
Showering and changing into a fresh set of clothing, Adam was pleased with how he looked as he tied up his hair that had grown quite a lot.
He needed to get it cut soon, but for the time being it wasn\'t too bad and since it was tied up, it didn\'t matter as it didn\'t get in his face.
Leaving his room, his aunt greeted him happily and had a wide smile on her face as she called for him to come and eat.
How happy she was confused Adam, but he had no reason to complain and was glad that she seemed to have overcome and forgotten about what had happened the day before.
However, he felt as though something had changed about her and although he couldn\'t sense anything in particular from her, her skin seemed to have a slight glow to it.
"Aunt, are you sure everything is okay?" asked Adam after he finished eating.
She seemed to be happier and more energetic than usual, but other than that she had a warm smile on her face and Adam was finding it hard to gauge what had changed.
"Adam, I have put everything that happened behind me and I just want to move on" she answered as she began clearing up the table.
Despite seeing her happy and although she seemed to have moved on, Adam still felt the same bad feeling as he helped his aunt clean up then prepared to leave.
"Aunt, I will be back in a few hours, I need to check up on something," said Adam before leaving.
Ava who had the knowledge and spiritual sense of the system wanted to tell him what she knew, but no matter how hard she tried, all she would feel was pain and no words would come out.
[Ava, you do realise I can feel your pain in the same way that you feel mine. Just stop trying to go against the program and I will find out everything myself] communicated Adam to her within his mind.
{I will trust you and I will be here to support you however I can} reassured him Ava who was clearly worried about what was going to happen.
{So, where are you going now?} asked Ava.
[I am going back to that warehouse to finish off those 5 men that were tied up, then I will probably go and see my master who I haven\'t had the chance to see. I also want to train with him] answered Adam.
Without any time to waste, Adam was planning to drive as quickly as he could and didn\'t care if he got into a police chase, as he was sure that he would get away with his own speed and the speed of his motorcycle.
Transforming the motorcycle into its faster and sleeker black form, then putting on his helmet, Adam drove as quickly as he could without crashing or hurting anybody as he rushed back towards the warehouse.
He had already planned that he would go back the next day and finish them off without his aunt, as he wasn\'t willing to let them go after daring to kidnap his aunt and go against him.
Killing those 5 men was something that would ease his Bloodlust and would also get revenge for his aunt, so wasn\'t something that he would think about twice, but that same bad feeling continued to return.
"What the hell is it that keeps making me feel like this" wondered Adam as he reached the warehouse and parked his motorcycle.
Upon parking his motorcycle and taking off his helmet, Adam was instantly greeted by a smell that he knew too well as his heart began to beat rapidly.
His heart wasn\'t beating quickly out of fear, but it was because he smelt blood and his desire to kill surged as he rushed into the warehouse out of worry, curiosity and the desire to kill.
