The whole hallway erupts into chaos. Some people start screaming. "Everybody... STOP!!!!" I shout. Everyone immediately stops and looks at me. "If you want to live, listen. If you want to die, object and rebel against me. Do not speak unless spoken to." I say. "Yeah, sure. And what if we don't listen to ya? Whatcha gonna do about it?" a man says. "This. This will happen." I say, as I walk over and absorb his soul. "Anyone else object?" The crowd overlappingly mumbles "No." "Good. Now, how do I get out of here?" I ask. A Chinese man with glasses raises his hand. "Yes?" "Take a left, go up the stairs into the lobby. But watch out, there are guards EVERYWHERE." he says. "Thank you. Carry on your business, and forget this ever happened... And that you ever saw me." I say, as I follow the man's instructions. I walk up the stairs quietly. And before they know it, I attack the guards.
