Crossing Illusion: Reflection (Book 1) #Wattys2017

Chapter 20: The Plan

Hundreds of police deployed at that day, from ordinary unit to even riot squad. This is the very first time thugs being treated so seriously, that it even be considered as terrorist attack, mixed with bank robbery and anarchism. What they did not know is that the actual target is just one...

"Alpha 1, they already breached the front squad. They bring firearm, use shield and vest! I repeat, they bring firearm!!" One try to warn the other as they tried to holding from the incoming mass of vigilant, carrying various weapons in hand, and the most front use a riot shield that they rob from their defeated enemies.

As the armed force about to use more powerful armament, one man entering the crowd in calmness, contrast to the whole condition. The polices see him and about to stop him, until he shown his badge - without even being asked for. An SPD unit, clearly, only their unit bring this emblem.

He emerge from the crowd, entering the large space between the police and criminals. He extend his right arm forward and whispering softly.

"I am your master, heed my order... Panacea, render them harmless, bend them down in paralyzing drown!"

Invisible to them, green wisp engulf the area as he unleash his power. It wrap the ruffians in second, causing their head to be empty. Their ankle are now too heavy to stand still anymore, and they fall as something told them to sleep. Unable to even lift their finger, they surrender to the relaxing sensation. Did not aware that they're still on the main street of the capital city, not on a flower-filled grassy mountain.

Without any contact, all the enemy neutralized. The polices are speechless. They finally witnessed the reason why the SPD assigned and treated differently from them. Of course, they unable to see that the man blow green mist in the field, as most Phantasm could only be seen by certain people; name it sixth sense, or any term that you prefer.

"Johan! Did the enemy still- Ohh never mind..." Another young man enter enthusiastically to the area, only to found that all the hostiles already neutralized. The man wear red headband, contrast to his blue hair. "Tybard, seems this one also a small divergent. I wonder where they actually aim?" Johan ask.

"I wonder as well..." As the two busy thinking, the police interrupt. "Sir, may we arrest them all?" One of them finally start speaking. "Go on, if you guys still had enough room to arrest all these thugs." Tybard ask. His casual, brash and carefree attitude truly reminiscence of Noir, only slightly older.

"Just being cautious... Is that a Hypnotism? Is it safe if we carry them right now?" He speak again. Johan smiled gently. "Tranquilizer. In extreme dose." The police look at each others, still don't get it. "Don't worry! They will out cold for at least 5 more hour! Perfectly safe!" He then turn back to Tybard. "We leave them to you then!" They walk out from the perimeter.

"You sure they would sleep for that long?" Tybard asked Johan. "I doubt. I use almost 70% of my maximum dose." He gave his friend another smile. "They would be sleeping for at least half a day, or maybe until tomorrow. Even if they does awake, they still pretty much had no consciousness with such extreme dose of tranquilizer. I bet they couldn't even do simple calculation, leave alone answered an interrogation!" He answer with a carefree gag to rival his ally.

"What if... You use your max dose?" Tybard still curious. "With my usual mist, my max dose would put them into three day of sleep. With a more lethal attack, they could sleep for a week, and with my strongest move... Let's say, semi-coma for a month, or more, depend on the target." Johan explain, an Tybard speechless. "But the effect drastically decreased on people with immunity, especially who own special power such as Phantasm. Some certain rare organism may even be perfectly immune against my tranquilizer." He add an additional info.
