Chapter 6: Special Treatment
After the crow explained the reason for my resurrection, I found myself even more confused. It seemed that, for him, my actions were merely a form of entertainment. Perhaps, being non-human, he couldn't fully grasp the depth of what I was fighting for. Nevertheless, I was okay with that. The important thing was that he had given me another chance at life and bestowed upon me a unique ability to challenge and reform the societal system.
The next day was the weekend, so we had no work in our office. Somehow, we were given a break every Saturday and Sunday, allowing us to rest for two days.
Usually, I just take advantage of this break by playing any online game on my PC. However, for now, I am more interested in the ability I acquired. I turned on the TV, and at that time, there wasn't much news being broadcast about Joseph and his father.
While watching the live news on TV, I thought of an experiment I could do with my newfound ability. I took the card and tried to focus my gaze on the reporter speaking on TV. I was hoping I could control his thoughts, even if only through the television.
However, my experiment failed. Perhaps it would only work if I could actually see the person I wanted to control.
Sigh. I let out a deep sigh because I was excited about the possibility of the ability working even just on TV. Well, I accepted it since maybe my ability shouldn't be too overpowering.
Shortly after, there was a new report on TV. A man who massacred an entire family has been caught and is now in police custody. They are avoiding showing and interviewing him on TV. The remaining grandmother was also shown, crying uncontrollably due to the loss of her entire family.
The police are on TV again, boasting as if they made a significant contribution to the suspect's capture. I can't help but notice how they are going all out to protect the suspect. They even mentioned that the legal process will still go through the court for this case.
"Legal process?" I exclaimed loudly out of frustration as I watched. I searched on social media for videos circulating, claiming to be CCTV footage showing the drugged man mercilessly killing the elderly person's entire family just because he was high on drugs.
