Chapter 7: First Mission

Golden Teeth Incorporated was the company behind Shae.

While Adam was reading through the files on Deranged Pig and Golden Teeth Incorporated, Red Spider was continuing to disregard the speed limit, passing through around a dozen streets before arriving in front of the gate of a massive courtyard.

After making her identity known, she drove through the gate, beyond which was a lavish and extravagant world.

.

The fountain was pumping out a type of strange compound that evoked within one a sense of joy and excitement upon inhalation.

There were drinkers and geishas with all types of strange prosthetic limbs installed into their bodies traversing through the garden, and with no exception, every single one of them could be described as bright and sparkly.

Aside from the peculiar aroma in the air, there was also some extremely catchy music playing, striking one with an involuntary urge to nod along with the beat as they walked.

"You must be Madam Red Spider, right?" Not long after they entered the courtyard, Red Spider was greeted by a relatively normal figure. "We've been waiting for you for quite some time. Please come with me."

After passing through the garden and the courtyard, Adam and Red Spider made their way into a spectacular hall. Before they had even entered the hall, they heard the sound of a furious roar.

"Fuck! You said they'd come at noon, but it's already past midnight and you only just got here! Even the street-side vendors selling the cheapest fake pills know the importance of being punctual! How is your pawn shop going to claim that it's a legitimate business when you keep your clients waiting for this long?!"

Red Spider chuckled in response.

"The fact that we're late means that we're well-prepared. Don't get so worked up! If you don't like it, then you can find someone else!"

As Red Spider was speaking, she made her way toward the furious man who was seated at the center of the sofa with her hips swaying side to side.

Adam cast his gaze toward the direction where the voice had come from to discover an extremely overweight man. He was tall, burly, and fat, and even if the weight of his prosthetic limbs were to be discounted, he had to be weighing in excess of 170kg.

The man had a set of fierce facial features, and his expression was also a little crazed, but his demeanor clearly softened a little when Red Spider told him to look elsewhere.

"The pawn shop has many flaws, but its ability to resolve troubles is near unmatched. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money to hire you!"

"Well, there you go! As the saying goes, the good things in life are always worth the wait! Come on, take us to get an in-depth understanding of the situation."

Thus, Deranged Pig rose to his feet before leading Red Spider and Adam to an upstairs bedroom.

In contrast with the extravagant style outside, this bedroom had a very pronounced pink princess style. On the princess bed inside laid a young girl who appeared to be around 13 to 14 years of age, and she was quite thin and frail, in stark contrast with her burly father. However, her figure wasn't the most attention-grabbing thing about her. Instead, it was her left arm, which was missing a section, but only some simple treatment had been administered, and no prosthetic limb had been installed.

"This is my daughter, Kim. Over a month ago, she sustained severe injuries to her left arm during a car crash, and the arm couldn't be saved. However, after the amputation, she refused to have a prosthetic limb installed."

"She refused a prosthetic limb?" A surprised look appeared on Red Spider's face as she laid a hand onto one of the spider legs behind her. "That's very strange."

In this day and age, prosthetic limbs were very popular. Not only did they have powerful functions, they were also a fashion statement. Many wealthy young individuals who weren't even missing limbs were still intrigued by the idea of having prosthetic limbs installed, so it was quite strange to see someone refuse a prosthetic limb even after going through an amputation.

"At first, I thought she was only throwing a tantrum. I tried to console her, but that didn't work, so I got them to forcibly install an arm for her. Rest assured, it wasn't any of those strange arms. Instead, it was an imitation prosthetic limb. However, ever since the prosthetic limb was installed, Kim's been feeling very unwell and often has nightmares. In the end, she collapsed due to illness. I had no choice but to get the doctor to remove the prosthetic limb, and after performing an examination, the doctor told me that her illness was caused by extreme emotional instability. Finally, I sought out a psychiatrist, and they told me that this was some type of PTSD."

"What happened after that?"

"After that, the psychiatrist could only administer some medicine for treatment alongside therapeutic communication, but in order to address the issue at its roots, we had to find an adapter, and that's why I turned to your pawn shop."

"I see." Red Spider nodded in response before gesturing toward Adam. "Go and take a look at her."

"Er..." Adam strode over to Kim, who was sweating profusely, before taking a look.

"Can you see anything?"

"No."

"I'm telling you to look into her heart, not look at her face, you idiot!" Red Spider smacked Adam on the back of the head with an exasperated expression. Not only did Adam not have any medical experience, this was his first time officially entering someone else's psychic world. After that slap to the back of the head, he finally understood what he was here to do, and he pressed his fingertip against the little girl's forehead before activating the transmitter to enter her consciousness.

In the next instant, he arrived in a schoolyard.

His first impression of the place was that it was very cold.

"What a cold and eerie atmosphere!"

Adam drew a sharp breath as he inspected his surroundings. This was the playground of a school, and there was no sun or moon in the sky, so visibility was quite low. Furthermore, the entire area was filled with dense mist.

A person's psychic world had a direct correlation with their memories, emotions, and experiences, so it made sense that the psychic world of a little girl suffering from PTSD wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows.

After taking a brief moment to acclimate himself to the surrounding environment, Adam began to explore.

Firstly, he caught sight of several young kids on the edge of the playground. These kids were most likely Kim's fellow students. The fact that they had appeared in her psychic world indicated that they had to have some type of connection with Kim.

Thus, Adam began to attempt to communicate with them.

"Hello there."

"......"

The students raised their heads to look at him with cold expressions, and none of them said anything.

"Do you know Kim? Kim Garcia? The daughter of the rapper?"

"No," the cold and apathetic students finally replied on this occasion.

"I see."

It seemed that these students only filled the role of random bystanders in these memories, and there wasn't much of a connection between them and Kim.

Adam continued searching. There weren't many people in Kim's memories, but her recollection of the surrounding buildings was particularly clear.

Judging from the style of these buildings, this appeared to be a private school with steep tuition fees. The surrounding buildings were either historic landmarks or gave off a sense of illustrious artistry.

All those attending this school must either come from families of great wealth or lofty status, so the daughter of a celebrity rapper wouldn't stick out very much here.

Adam continued his search while gathering information along the way.

After speaking with a few more cold and aloof students, he finally encountered one who was familiar with Kim, and he followed their directions to track down Kim in the gymnasium.

At this moment, she was being attacked by three frogs wearing female student uniforms.

The three frogs were constantly whipping Kim's face with their tongues while pelting her with their saliva, and it was quite disgusting to behold.

"What's going on in there?"

Ben was also watching from the real world.

The scene that he was witnessing was being transmitted by Red Spider. She was unable to enter the psychic world of others, but she also had a transmitter implanted into her body. This was so that she could monitor the situation inside Kim's psychic world and also immediately sever the connection if Adam were to encounter any danger.

"You don't need to worry about that, he'll take care of it!"

As soon as Red Spider's voice trailed off, Adam had already charged toward the three aberrations.
