Liberators

Chapter 72 - Choice

"Day 137 and you're still giving us so much information." Professor Akihiko said as he continued to smile.

But Axel?

Right now, perhaps Axel had completely lost his sanity.

His nervous system and spinal cord have suffered such severe damage. So that makes Axel almost unable to get impulses from contact with his environment.

'Sreessshh!'

When the scalpel opened Axel's chest wide for the next time, he no longer felt anything.

Including the slightest sensation of touch.

Axel no longer felt it.

Even when Professor Akihiko took a few pieces of meat in his body to study, Axel did not give any response.

His look looked so empty.

And both of his eyes were completely motionless.

'Am I dead?'

The question was repeatedly implied in his head. But every time he saw the Professor's figure, the answer became very clear.

'No.... I'm not dead yet. But.... Is it really like that?'

Thanks to his brain always being fiddled with by Professor Akihiko, Axel might have gone a little crazy.

He thought he might have died. And all that he's going through right now, is probably hell.

'Is this my punishment for killing the hunter?' Axel asked once more in his heart.

He recalled the first time these two hands had killed an enemy that was not a monster. And it is very likely that his actions made him punished by the heavens in an eternal hell like this.

But nevertheless....

His little knowledge of the world makes it clear that everything is real.

Like various medical equipment that shows information on the development of the research they are doing.

Axel had absolutely no idea what they were researching.

But at the very least, Axel knew that their research was actually making real progress every day.

Does hell need something like that?

No. gabe. Of course not.

"Okay, enough for today. Thanks for the partnership, Axel." Said Professor Akihiko before leaving along with all his assistants.

Leaving this blood-filled floor for the rest of the team to clean.

Every now and then, Axel tried to bring out his power. Intended to direct his lightning magic in order to kill himself. End this madness forever.

However, his power could not come out at all.

Did they dry out all the Flux in his body? Preventing him from expelling even the slightest force?

Once more....

Axel was sleeping in the dark. To repeat the new routine.

......***......

"Day 164. You know what's beautiful about today, Axel?" Professor Akihiko asked the young man.

Axel, no matter how strong he wanted to answer, could not do it at all. He can no longer speak.

"That's because today, is the last day we'll be researching your body." Professor Akihiko continued.

Hearing the Professor's words, Axel showed his first response after 100 days more.

Both of his eyes began to open wide with a gaze that seemed to be filled with hope.

Of course, Professor Akihiko realized that and made a wide smile.

"Hoo.... You seem interested, Axel. Just chill. I promise you that this is your last day. It's because I'm gonna get you out of this." Professor Akihiko.

The look on Axel's face seemed to indicate a clear question.

'Do you really mean it? This is all gonna be over soon?'

It was a question that was in Axel's heart. Which he could not express in words.

But nevertheless....

"That's because we're going to end your life. All the research data we need is complete. And we don't need you anymore."

Axel's last hope is falling.

But somehow, Axel felt so relieved. He was quite happy because at last....

His suffering will soon be over.

"Honestly, I was hoping for a little more about your reaction. But this is enough too. Everyone, clean up this mess." Professor Akihiko said to his assistants.

Where they immediately carry out their orders.

But when they're cleaning up this whole room....

'Bruuck! Bruukk! Braaakk!'

The bodies of some assistants seemed to have fallen without anything causing it.

Seeing that, Professor Akihiko was surprised instead of playing.

"Who's there?!" The professor shouted in panic.

From the corner of the room, slowly the distortion of light that occurred began to fade. Shows the figure of a person in all black clothes and various special equipment all over his body.

He seems to be standing quietly. But instantly, Professor Akihiko's body also fell to the floor. With his head that had a hole and blood flowing profusely from there.

Three similar figures started to appear from the corner of the room. They had the same equipment and immediately started moving.

Two of them seem to be collecting all the data that has been obtained on various computers in this room.

While another one appears to be walking towards Axel who is restrained in this room.

"Russia. We'll save you." Said the mysterious figure who immediately released all the restraints on Axel's body.

Of course, immediately their existence began to be realized. And the alarm with the loud siren and the red light started to light up.

...'KRRIIIIIIIIINGGG!!!'...

The alarm also triggered all the guards in this research facility to start full alert.

But somehow, the Russian special forces looked so calm.

"I'm sorry if it's too long. We need to prepare a lot for today. We also saved your partner Lucy." Clearly the special forces were while supporting Axel's body to walk.

Axel's two eyes immediately opened wide after hearing the name mentioned.

He was eager to ask various things to the mysterious figure. But I can't do it at all.

Questions like why Lucy who should be in a safe place in North America could be here. Or any other questions regarding whether Lucy is okay.

"Lucy also received quite a bad fate. But take it easy, we've secured it. For you, we've prepared a doctor to restore your ability to speak." Obviously that special forces.

Axel slowly began to feel relieved.

But somehow, they all tried to run as fast as possible from this facility. Forcing Axel's scarred, weakened body to move as quickly as possible.

"I'm sorry if it's rude." Say one of the soldiers while carrying Axel's body on his back and running.

"We don't have much time. 15 minutes after we start saving you and Lucy, a nuclear missile will hit this town." Obviously the other soldiers.

Some of these defense soldiers in Osaka began to appear and head off their escape.

But unfortunately, the preparations from the Russian side have really matured.

They have planted hundreds of specialized soldiers who have been on standby throughout this facility. Slaughtering the guards and Liberators who were completely unprepared for their unseen existence.

"Report, subject A-01 is seen on the East side.10 special forces are trying to block it, please stay away from the east side."

The voice was heard in their communication device.

"Understand." Reply The soldier who was carrying Axel ran.

Now, whatever happens, the Russians should be able to get Axel and Lucy out of the facility before the nuclear missiles arrive.

And Axel?

He could only hope that the fortifications in North America would still survive.

So did his brother, and his colleagues.
