Neurolink System in the Modern World

Alice's heart was pounding with a mixture of adrenaline and panic as she sprinted after the person who had snatched her phone. She had always been fast for girl and felt confident in her ability to catch up .

As she closed in on the thief, she could see it was a middle-aged man, a complete stranger. The stolen phone was clutched in his hand.

With all her strength, Alice lunged forward, her fingers grazing the edge of his clothing as she tried to reclaim her phone.

The thief, realizing he was about to be caught, swerved sharply, making a last-ditch effort to escape.

Suddenly, the thief made a sharp turn into a narrow alley, hoping to lose Alice in its winding passages.

She hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding, as she considered her options. The narrow alley was small, with a maze of crates and trash cans lining the sides.

"What should I do?" she asked herself.

She was genuinely afraid. She might be more athletic compared to other girls, but she knew she was no match against a real criminal.

"What's happening here?" I asked the agitated students. I was on my way to school when I spotted some of them acting oddly, prompting me to pull over and investigate.

While I don't typically pry into others' affairs, I noticed that their uniforms resembled the ones from Alice's school.

"Mr. Zyn," a woman with short brown hair exclaimed, calling my name.

I used my Mind Eye on her, I learned that her name was Amy.

"What's the problem ?"

"Our friend, Alice," she started speaking, her words pouring out in a frantic rush, "she went after a thief a few minutes ago, and she hasn't returned yet! We've already called the police!"

"Alice?" I mused aloud, surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

"Okay, stay here," I replied quickly, and without further hesitation, I sprinted in the direction they had pointed out.

'Mind Link,' I muttered to myself, and with the power of my skill, my connection to the crows overhead sprang to life. In an instant, I received a detailed map of the surrounding area.

The ingenious trick I had developed was a game-changer, granting me the ability to map out locations on the fly. The crows, each bearing their distinct designations as "Crow 1-5," were my steadfast scouts, specially trained to assist me.

I had taken the time to hypnotize them, ensuring they would unfailingly follow me and store the landscape in their avian memory even if I don't control them. This unique strategy allowed me to summon an instant map whenever needed.

Among all the animals I had experimented on, I found that crows and rats stood out for their intelligence. They proved highly trainable and very adept at retaining and executing instructions.

As I looked at the mental map in my head, I could see the whole area with great detail. I knew where the buildings were, the narrow paths between them, where you could get in, and even where there were dead ends. It was like having a clear picture of everything in my mind.

Then, as I gazed through the eyes of my trusty Crow number 3 soaring above, I anticipated finding Alice in a very dangerous situation, surrounded by a group of unruly hooligans.

However, what I witnessed was so shocking that it caught me completely off guard, causing me to halt in my tracks.

"What on earth!"

Right now, Alice found herself surrounded by 6 men, but the surprising twist was that they were all lying knocked down on the ground.

"How did she manage to beat them?" I wondered aloud, my confusion growing. As I scanned the area for any other people, I assumed that a good Samaritan might have come to her rescue.

Then, all of a sudden, Alice's head turned towards my crow, and she cast a suspicious gaze in its direction, as if she could tell that she was looking at something more than a bird .

"Can she see me?" I contemplated for a moment, but I dismissed the thought with a shake of my head. It seemed utterly impossible.

Nevertheless, my curiosity got the best of me. Since there were no other people in her vicinity, I decided to use my Mind Eye to investigate her current condition.

"What the hell!" I nearly cursed aloud after seeing her new status. This was far from normal. She had a question mark for a level, which was like the status of a final boss in an incredibly challenging video game whose main goal was to frustrate players by repeatedly killing them.

A boss that can kill a player with one hit!

'Hey, system, isn't this twist a bit too extreme?' I couldn't help but curse the system under my breath. It was almost inconceivable that I had been in such close proximity to a very dangerous individual all this time. And my system was trying to dispose of me by asking me to fuck that same dangerous individual.

'Do you really want me to die that soon ?'

Realizing that the potential EXP points weren't worth the danger, I shook my head and started to slowly back away, all the while maintaining my surveillance through the eyes of my crow.

I can't have her teleporting in front of me while I'm not watching and saying, 'I already cut you.' Well, teleporting was a bit too much of an exaggeration, but at this point, anything goes.

"Who are you? It's not very nice to eavesdrop on an innocent girl like me," she said with an unsettling smiling face, as if she was absolutely certain that I was watching her

'She can really tell that I'm using the crow,' I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Nevertheless, I swiftly returned to Amy and her friends.

To be safe, I decided to use my suggestion ability on them and erase their memory of ever meeting me.

After all, she hadn't been able to detect that I had controlled her big sister before. Perhaps she had sensed me now because I was directly controlling the crow with my Mind Link.

I entered my car , and drive a safe distance . I'm still controlling the crow and Alice was still there standing and looking at my crow it as if she was waiting for an answer.

The gaze in her eyes was really scary , as if I'm looking at a different person.

"So you're not going to answer?" She broke the silence. "Let's just stay out of each other's way . I don't want any trouble either," she replied, turning to pick up her phone from one of the unconscious thugs.

"Please don't follow me around. I can sense five of your little pesky pets watching me," she warned before walking away.
