What do you mean by that, Chi? Asked Rekka, concerned about the information that Chis revealed.
Chi looked at Rekka for a second before she said. Let Jorden explain the rest. I too dont know about it.
Alright, let me explain it! Shouted Jorden as he stood and spread his arm. Miss Chi, could you put the content of the paper on the screen?
Chi nodded her head and take a picture of the paper with her holo phone. She then displayed the picture on the screen as requested by Jorden.
Everyone in the room focused to look at the screen. Jorden walked around the table until he finally stopped between the table, right in front of Rekka and Melaine.
After everyone has done reading the paper displayed on the screen, they looked at Jorden, waiting for his explanation.
*Cough* Jorden cleaned his throat with a cough and said. Allow me to explain about our finding from testing the perfume.
He turned and walked towards the meeting room entrance before stopping and turning to look at the screen.
First, we found the additional substance from the information given by one of our investigators. We analyzed the perfume as soon as it hit the market and found the substance after we tested it in our lab. We informed Miss Chi and she made her move that day to buy the perfumes from the market so the innocent wont get harmed. Alas, the perfume was spread worldwide, so we cant buy all the stock. Said Jorden as he held his head with his right hand and shook it.
Everyone was a bit relieved when they heard that most of the perfumes were secured. But, they also cant get relieved when they heard that the organization cant secure all of the stock.
Chi who saw everyones worried face stood up and explained. We are lacking in our manpower. Although we managed to get new members in this year, we are only two years old organization. Our actual members are only around three to four hundred, and they were spread all around the world right now. Most of them have their subordinates, but they were not a member of our organization. We could only secure Asia and Europa. We cant do much in Africa, while America is still out of our reach because we wreak havoc in the US a year ago. We cant risk going to that continent for now, but some of our members were securing the perfumes in those 2 continents right now as we speak in this room.
Exactly like what Miss Chi said! We are lacking in our manpower. Let me continue the explanation. Shouted Jorden.
He pointed his index finger towards the paper and everyone in the room except for Rekka, Melaine, and Julia who right under the screen was turning their attention at the screen.
I wrote that the extra substance is blood. Strangely, all blood in those bottles of the perfumes has the same DNA as each other. In other word, this blood originated from the same person.
Melaine has understood it, with her quick thinking, she had guessed it from what was written on the paper. She has a disgusted expression and bites her lips.
Rekka also has a complicated expression. He remembered when he found his sister in that underground facility of the Esper Association. He started losing control of his ability and the rooms temperature suddenly increased a little.
Rekka, calm down. Said Melaine with a cold voice.
Rekka snapped out from his anger and looked at Melaine beside him. The other people in the room were not moving even a little bit. Rekka immediately realized that Melaine had used her ability to stop him.
Thank you. I almost lost it.
No problem, I know whats going on inside your mind. But, I assure you. Its not them. They will not risk themselves by doing something of this scale. Assured Melaine as she looked at Rekka with a serious expression. That person wont allow it.
Rekka nodded his head. I know
I will make the time flow again, put on your poker face. You are the first member of this organization, the right arm of Lady Naomi. When Lady Naomi is not here, you are technically the leader of this organization. Dont let your subordinates see you losing control. Lady Naomi is special, even if she lost control of her ability, she will immediately take care of it by herself and we will still follow her nonetheless.
Rekka smiled at Melaines word and said. I understand. As expected of someone of your age, truly a wise word.
I will restart the time. Said Melaine. Even though Melaine didnt admit it, she was also a bit angry when she heard that the perfume was using the blood of someone, it reminded her of something unpleasant. But she decided to not think much about it. It happened in the past, it was over.
When the time restarted, everyone in the room was confused about why the temperature in the room becomes hot. But Chi quickly realized it and looked at Rekka. He nodded his head and smiled a little to show Chi that hes okay.
Chi let out a sigh before turning to Jorden.
Continue your explanation, Jorden. Skip to the part about your founding.
Ah, yes! Let me continue my explanation. Said Jorden as he walked towards the screen from between the table.
He stopped right before he hit the table and turned to look back.
It was fascinating. The perfume, the effect, the way it applied. But, it was also has a big drawback. We found out that the perfume could control someone who smelt it, but thats a bit wrong. The perfumes themselves cant control our behavior. The owner of the blood is the one who can. In other words, those perfumes were just a medium! A medium for an Esper with an ability to control the mind of other people. Blood is the requirement, the medium for him to control people. It is terrifying. Said Jorden as he hugged his body.
They become concerned. All people in this room thought that they need to end this case quickly. If normal people were controlled, then its fine. They are afraid of one thing, and they think of one thing.
If Princess was controlled by the Esper, isnt that the end for everyone?
Melaine was ready to exit the room at this moment and destroy those perfumes by herself. But thats impossible even for her. No matter how much and how long she could stop time, shes still a human. She has limits, and that limit wont allow her to do what she wanted.
But, worry not. Said Jorden. Everyone instantly focused on Jorden and waiting for his next word.
That effect only lasted for a day, and it would wear off if the target is unconscious. One of our researchers was controlled a few hours ago, and we knocked him out right after he was controlled. Around a few minutes, before I came here, he regained his conscious and he acted normal again. Said Jordan with a smile on his face.
Everyone was instantly relieved hearing that, if thats the case then they just need to tread carefully. And, acted with at least in a team of 2 persons. So they could knock the other person when they were controlled.
But thats still scary, we need to act as soon as possible. Said Chi, breaking the happy moment. If he controlled every people that used this perfume at the same day, chaos would break out.
Everyone nodded their head in understanding. Jorden walked back to his seat and rested his arms on the table while looking at Chi.
Chi smiled and changed the screen with her holo phone.
Thats why I thought of this plan. We will call this Operation Helix. And this will be our biggest operation since our organization was created two years ago.
