Stephenien and Adrain walked out of the lab. As a particular lab for designing media, there were light amplifiers at every corner of the ceiling. The light-coloured walls reflect most of the light back to the windows, which create an aurora that prevents Dark Magic from entering the lab. As the rainbow streaks start to elevate, a mist starts to develop across the floor for a brief moment of time; ice vapours.
"The air-con is so cold sia..." David said to himself.
"The government didn't sponsor NYP to create ultra-freezing air-conditioners. NYP sponsored itself from our school fees..." Daryl replied.
Just then, Yang Tien walked speedily along the corridor, seemingly in a rush.
"Do you notice that Yang Tien never use his teleporting abilities?" Chien said.
"Maybe he don't have ma?" David joked. "His son Billy Lee..."
The day was over and the night came swiftly, like a morning of business turned silent. The group met up together, consisting of mostly people from the Group Five cohort, and some other prominent figures. David, Daryl, Chien, Debbie, Xavier, Kenneth, Iskandar, Adz, Hua Feng, Wilson... The girls and the other two girls, Holly and Matilda. As the group chatted, Hua Feng silently left his humour in the room and went to the toilet alone.
The deadthly silence was chilling and eerie. The toilet doors were stained with blood marks, a common sight. Going into the wrong door will curse the person with a blood spell. The markings of the cursed door was of real blood and the safe place to pee was marked with paint. The handicapped cubicle perpendicular to the bloody doors was only for handicapped and was marked in a blue glowing symbol of a legless dragon.
Hua Feng went into the safe door and started pulling down his pants to relieve himself. Just then, he heard someone enter the toilet. It was a familiar sound, it was Adz. He was with another person... Xavier?
"You know the IM side is planning to dominate the fusion show this year?"
"I know Yang Tien is out to find a solution to unleash the secret weapon...? It is by making all the three groups gather their design strengths to break open the seal to the secret weapon...?"
Hua Feng couldn't make out what they were saying, but after cleaning up, he quickly opened the door... But they were gone.
"Ah? Illusion?" Hua Feng thought to himself. "But I thought I hear Adz and Xavier sia.."
"You think right, little boy..." said a voice behind Hua Feng.
"Who sia?!"
Silence.
The group laughed as the snacked illegally in the Aniamaxion Lab. The Aniamaxion Lab was there supposedly to create transfigurating illusions that can be conjured with the skill of media wizards. Media interpolation, was the power of all the people in SIDM. To be able to conjure powers as according to the person's ability to create and fantasize, and also his/her skill to draw a symbol or image of the appropriate skill well.
In SIDM, there are those who do Scripting, the IM people. Their powers complicate the nature of space. Aniamaxion people, their power is explosive and dangerous; energizes the will of space. Games people, the power to create a virtual space. On other departments, their powers remain unknown.
"Where is Hua Feng sia?" Adz exclaimed. "I need him to fill my life!"
"JOKES!" David said quickly, licking his lips.
Just then, the aurora shield covering the labs disappeared. The mist stopped, and the air-conditioners malfunctioned.
"What the fuck!" Debbie exclaimed. "It's now fucking hot la! And it was like super-cold a few minute ago."
"Someone probably switched the air-con off," Xavier pointed out.
Hua Feng entered the room. He seemed to be in a daze. But just as he came in the air-con went back on. But the shields did not.
"Hua Feng!" Adz exclaimed, and went ahead to hug him.
"Oh eh! Hello," said Hua Feng as he went to sit down.
"What's wrong?" asked Adz.
"Nothing... I just miss my Sandra and Chen Yang. They are the soul of my life, and the heart of my worlds. Let me sing..." Hua Feng replied.
Someone choked on his/her coke.
"Everytime I see you cry, there is sadness in your eyes..."
Broken was the night by a song of sadness... But laughter of Hua Feng's terrible singing and whacky humour, revived the life. There Hua Feng thought about his night, and what happened at the toilet.
"You think right little boy..."
"Who are you sia?! Who sia?!" Hua Feng exclaimed.
"Just let me..."
The guy was somewhat well-defined, and quite tall. He grabbed Hua Feng by the neck, and did not reveal his visage. He injected something into Hua Feng's throat, and drew a symbol, a black wolf with a serpent's tail, at the right side of his neck. But the image faded as Hua Feng drew breath.
"There... You're mine now."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
