The Man of the Future
Chapter 29 (Request Nack)



They all kept thinking with their own assumptions. About how to use the Jade Buddha statue in order to grant their request.


 


Minutes by minutes passed.


Suddenly, Sham came from the sky. Then stand on the ground, 5 meters in front of them.


They all looked surprised at the presence of Sham, who looked similar to Pusia, but without the red crescent tattoo on his chin. They were all watching him closely, especially Franco.


"Who are you!, why does your face look like Pusia?" asked Franco in full search.


"Maybe it's just a coincidence, if my face is similar to that handsome old Gura-Gura," Sham smiled at Franco.


" What do you want here?" ask Clark with full investigation to the penetrator of that time.


"I don't have much time for you. I met you guys, just wanted to tell you. How can you use the statue," said the Sham, making everything silent.


"Three of you," Sham, pointed at Mark, Nack and Franco in turn.


"I know the three of you have a dragon tattoo, on your chest. Don't ask me why I know that. Because I was the sign maker 23 years ago, when you three were babies. Now you better do what I say, if you really\want to use the statue. All you have to know is that the statue is my highest work of art, which I made 2000 years ago" Sham said.


"Actually who are you?" ask Mark curiously.


"Don't ask much, just follow what I said," the Sham speech made Mark speech silent again.


"Put the statue on the ground" Mark said, putting the statue on the ground.


"Now you three stand up, form it. A triangular shape surrounds the statue" Mark then stands in front of the statue, while Franco and Nack are to the left and right of the statue.


"Now join hands with the three of you."


The three of them did the sham.


After the three of them did that, it suddenly let out a green glow. And even stranger things than that happen. The dragon tattoo on Nack's chest seemed to be alive. The dragon tattoo then came out through the clothes worn by Nack. Then the dragon entered the statue. Which immediately floated above the heads of the three of them as high as 1 meter, still giving off its green rays. This time the statue spoke.


"What do you ask Nack?, I am the soul of the dragon on your chest, all this time" he said, which left Nack confused.


"Let's say, I can grant you anything you want. Do I have to tell you your heart?" he said, which made Nack also say his request.


"Well, I'll say what I want. I want all the humans killed by the robotic forces of Mars and the Moon to be revived. And I want all the damage done by them to be restored as before" Nack said, expressing his wish.


"I will fulfill all your requests, but to revive the humans killed by the robotic forces of Mars and the Moon. I can only revive those who died, no more than 1 year back, do you agree Nack?" said it.


After hearing Nack's words, suddenly 8 beams of green light came out from inside the statue. Which shot towards the 8 winds and 1 minute later, the 8 beams of light returned, entering the statue.


"What do you want, I've granted you, Nack. My task was done, see you later," after saying that, the statue turned itself into a green light. Then it went west.


"The first request has been granted, only 2 more requests remain. Mark and Franco's request, "Sham said.


"You mean, not just one request we can ask for?" mark asked with curiosity.


"Yes, every request granted. Then the dragon and the number on your chest will be gone. Now look at your chest, Nack, "Nack took off his shirt and saw his chest that had been lost without the dragon's face again.


"True, the mark is gone" exclaimed Nack.


"Find the statue back in the next 1 month, and say your request Mark. Until we meet again" said Sham, then flew and shot east, leaving a big question to all of them.


"Is that true?" ask Mark, ask yourself.


"Let's just say it's true, I want to be like Nack. Can be granted his request". "Hm...!, what yes, will I ask for later?" franco said, smiling.


Seeing Mark and Franco fantasize, Clark finally speaks.


"Everything's done, I'd better get back to Pacific Water City. I wonder if the city has really recovered. Until I see my friends again" Clark said, then ran as fast as the wind to the northeast.


"I will also see my house which has been destroyed by an army of robots. Little Jean, do you want to come with me?. Or still want to be with Mark?" ask Jean to run away from the place.


"Actually, I wanted to go with Clark, but he ran away. Yes, I had to go with Mark" replied Little Jean, then jumped up and sat on Mark's shoulders.


"Mark, I'm picking up Little Jean. Take good care of him. Sooner or later, I will definitely see you back. See you all again" said Jean, then darted northwest toward his residence.


"Where do we want Mark to go now?" ask Nack.


"Back to Mount Well" Mark replied briefly.


Mark then walked to Mount Well. That was followed by Franco and Nack, to Mark's left and right. The sun that kept descending on the western horizon, as if it wanted to disappear like a jade Buddha statue. That still leaves a lot of mystery about its existence. Little by little, however, the mystery began to unfold.
