Chapter 245: The Crystal
After screaming for a while more, due to excruciating torment he was experiencing, he finally gave in to the pain as he pa.s.sed out.
"Quick! Take us to the best hospital!" K yelled at the closest soldier while Dizzy started to float beside him.
At the same time, he wondered to himself, "I think I saw him eat something that he picked up from the remains of the frog, then… the humanoid rabbit might also have it. I better take it with me in case it might help the doctors in saving him!" Thinking to this point, he started searching the spot where many shredded pieces of the humanoid rabbit were at before truly finding a scarlet crystal there.
Staring at it for a moment, he also started to feel drawn and attracted to it. He had this illusion as if he was looking at something very tempting and delicious. Nevertheless, remembering Dizzy"s miserable outcome, shaking his head, he put away for now.
Then, without hesitating at all, he took the kiddo to the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctors had to go through a lot before finally being able to take out the object this silly teenager had eaten.
The doctor held a clear crystal in his hand as he showed it to K, "Here, it seems like that kid has swallowed this thing… sigh, kids these days…" Giving him the crystal, the doctor left while shaking his head.
Looking at the clear crystal, which didn"t have the scarlet flame-like fog in it, K was surprised while pondering, "May… maybe they were different?"
At this time, Dizzy"s eyes finally started to flutter as they opened up.
"Old man, why are you at my house?" Confused, this was the first thing he inquired about.
"This is the hospital! Not your house! And stop calling me old man! I"ll be satisfied with you calling me uncle!" He could swear, this kid knew exactly how to frustrate and anger him to death.
"Why did you eat that thing! You almost died! If this oldie… f.u.c.k, I mean if this uncle wasn"t fast enough in bringing you to the hospital, you would be dead meat by now!" While making a ton of spat land on Dizzy"s face, K kept yelling at him.
"Hah?" Listening to his words, Dizzy promptly recalled everything that had happened on the battlefield.
"It looked delicious…"
"No s.h.i.+t! You just eat whatever you find delicious don"t you kiddo? Sigh…"
As he remembered the fact he had swallowed the scarlet crystal, he promptly started to search for any difference inside his body. A few seconds later, his eyes opened so widely that his eyeb.a.l.l.s were about to pop out of their sockets!
"What happened to you kiddo, why are you staring at me like that?" Frowning, K questioned him for looking at him like that.
"My… my trait… my trait!" Not finis.h.i.+ng his words, he kept repeating the same word.
"Your trait what? Did it vanish?" K, at last, started to get worried as he articulated this question, a bit disturbed.
"My trait feels a bit stronger! More powerful!" In exhilaration, Dizzy"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning as he uttered this piece of news in happiness.
"What?"

ONE DAY LATER
Currently, the world was a mess, other than the matters related to the rift and the creatures, everyone had questions regarding K, Dizzy, and other people like them living among them.
The internet was almost exploding as almost every single person in the world was either talking about the rift and the creatures, or the extraordinary people that had been living among them but they were left in the dark.
Currently, through the internet, the representative of each country and the head of the Special Surveillance World Jurisdiction was holding a secret meeting which was going to decide some very important matters.
Looking at the President of France, the President of the United States of America began berating him in front of everyone, "This is absolutely ridiculous! How can you trespa.s.s such a taboo? How can you make a decision all by yourself without consulting us first?"
"The situation didn"t allow me to consult and get permission from the SSWJ and everyone else. It wasn"t your country getting attacked, so you can easily say that while sitting on your seat can"t you?" However, the President uttered without any remorse, it looked like he didn"t regret what he did at all, not even a bit, "My people were dying, so if I have to, I would make the same decision over and over again if it stops the butchery!"
"You!" The President of the USA was left speechless in some anger.
At this time, the President of Russia also started talking, "If this issue was about you revealing these secrets in front of a few people… it would"ve been fine. But you just had to do it in front of everyone. Now, it"s impossible to hide it from the rest of the world. This is bad, this could bring chaos to the world once more."
After listening to their reasoning which was mostly looking at the dark side of the things, the President of France opened his mouth again, "Anyway, what"s done is done. So let"s just forget about it. Moreover, I don"t think this is a bad thing at all… since it happened once and even twice… it"s extremely likely to happen for the third time too, right? And it might happen anywhere! Now, we can use our special people in daylight so I don"t believe this is unnecessarily a bad thing." He finished his words like this.
"…" The President of the USA was gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth in anger at this point. He was mostly p.i.s.sed that the decision was made without consulting him first.
"Sigh… well, he"s right. There is no point in being angry about this any longer. Our citizens are already aware of the truth, so let"s just give them the truth they"re looking for. Who agrees with this? Please raise your hand." Taking a deep sigh, the President of Russia articulated.
Hearing this, everyone, including the President of the USA raised their hands. Not that he had any other choice anymore… now that the whole world had seen everything alive.
"Then it"s decided."
"Alright then, one of those creatures escaped our men, so I better go looking for it before it harms anyone." Saying this, the President of France was about to cut off the line in some dejection, when the Russian President interjected, "Wait! before you go… don"t you have any information you would like to share with us? Any useful information you might"ve discovered?"
Catching this sentence, the President of France sank into deep deliberation for a moment, "Hmm… it"s not like I can gain much by hiding it from you guys since everyone rules over their own country." As this notion popped into his head, he started talking, "Well, since I"m also feeling a bit guilty for revealing this truth which had been kept in secret for decades now… I"ll tell you all one thing! Inside those creatures which had flame-like things exuding from some parts of their bodies… we found crystals! These crystals seem to make traits stronger. However, directly eating it is also too dangerous as it makes the consumer experience tormenting pain and also some other risks which will probably lead to death… well, you figure out the rest yourselves if a rift happens to appear in your nations. That"s it then, goodbye." Elaborating to this part, he disconnected the line.
