Multi-Gene-Chapter 8 - The Empty Room

"Oh, really now?" David didn't seem startled by the voice. He had experienced a lot right now, he wouldn't be startled by pretty much anything as of this moment.

What surprised him was the fact that the voice seem to have been expecting him.

The steel door opened widely for him to enter and after saying his thanks to Nihyuh outside, he closed the door.

He didn't wait for Nihyuh's reply as he was too preoccupied with his thoughts.

He really had to rest otherwise, the side effect from either the transmigration or the transplant would get worse.

When he checked the interior of his room, it was really simple.

"Who are the 'We' you are referring to?" David said, speaking to the voice in a casual manner while observing the place he was going to stay for more than a year.

The room was Square in shape and had one thing in common, the four walls sides are pure white in colour but there wasn't a single bit of stain on it. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

It was just pure white emanating white lights, illuminating the room.

The room had nothing in it.

There wasn't a particular source of illumination.

The four white walls of the room was the only source of light.

But it was by no means obvious at first sight.

Except if somebody explicitly wished to discover where the lights were coming from.

That really surprised David as he thought the wall of the room was a type of screen itself.

Walls as screens, Things in this world are still surprising to him.

It was very stunning, yet the colour white its self was an exceptionally exhausting and dreadful shading which made him think about the underground research centre he came out from.

It likewise made him consider himself been a trial subject, he shuddered. Clearing the terrifying contemplations from his head.

"Who are you and why are you expecting me?" David asked the voice which spoke out earlier when he opened the door.

"My name is s-" David interrupted it.

"Just stop right there, I don't actually care who you are nor what your name is, I just wanted to know how you accessed my room which is an invasion of privacy anyhow and why?"

David said with folded arms while frowning in displeasure. He hated invading other people's privacy and likewise, he hates others invading his privacy. But his eyes kept on searching through the room for something.

"That is quite harsh but since it's your first day in the institute, you are pre-empted for now. And as for your questions, we are the AI responsible for this floor. Which grants me a one time authority to override every student room audio frequency which I've used already to speak with the others, you are one of the few left."

David feigned exacerbation. It appears this AI simply needed to flaunt its authority towards them.

He lacked the capacity to deal with such things.

David filtered his room with a peddle like eyes.

Be that as it may, Once David didn't see any significant thing to an individual in the room, David frowned and asked.

"What is up with this?" he looked a bit surprised as he asked.

"Oh, that's the rooms default wallpaper. To change it to any colour of your choice, you will have to pay a specific sum of mon—"

The voice replied, but wasn't able to finish her sentence and was rudely interrupted by David

"No, I'm not talking about that, I meant to ask, why his my room empty? There isn't even a bed."

"Oh, that. It's made like that so as to keep enough space for the students to practice with. Hmm, as someone who didn't read the institutes guide. You would have to pay a certain sum of amount for that informati-"

David didn't even wait for the voice to continue speaking. He immediately left the room.

Nihyuh was just a few feet away. His face was as cold as ice and he was in deep thoughts with furrowed eyes brows.

Suddenly, he could feel the wind behind him stirred up, as he was about to check what was happening out if puzzlement, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders from the back.

Glancing at David with confusion in his eyes.

"Hey, how can I access the my stuffs in my room?" David asked, how were they supposed to survive with basic amenities.

"Just lightly tap on your imprint for about three seconds, then tell it to detach the bed and the other things in the room . That's all. They were just hidden behind the walls." Nihyuh answered straightforwardly.

"You should really check out the student's guide. As there would be more things more complicated than this." He advised David while lightly patting on his shoulders.

"Hmm, I would do that. Thanks a lot. Would make sure to repay you. Don't wait up for me, I will be leaving."

David laughed awkwardly and waved, making a beeline to his room.

Again, not waiting for Nihyuh's reply. He entered the room, closed the door.

Pressing the imprint for three seconds, before he could speak to the imprint, David heard a voice In his head.

"Welcome David, since you are new to the system, it is advisable and compulsory to read the students guide, would you start n-"

He would have really wanted to scroll through the manual but he wasn't in a good condition to that right now.

"Can you detach the bed for me?"

"Detaching the bed now." The voice instantly reported.

Shua!

Light sounds of a machinery instantly rang out in the white room as David saw a part of the wall in the room immediately flipped over, revealing it's content. In a span of two seconds, the roll of metal quickly assembled swiftly with astonishing speed.

His eyes immediately lit up in as he saw the scene. It was a still a bit surprising and almost everything in this world seem to remind him that he was in another world. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

But for now, he needed enough rest, as that seem to be the only way the side effects he was experiencing could clear up. That was what his intuition told him.
