[AS MR. ALEXANDER CURRY WISHES.]

[SEARCHING FOR TARGETS FOR MEMORY POSSESSION.]

[FIND TARGETS FOUND.]

[MEMORIES BEING REPOSSESSED… 10%…25%… 50%… 85%… 100%]

[MEMORIES OF FIVE TARGETS NOW BELONG TO MR. ALEXANDER CURRY]

[NO. OF FREE SLOTS: 0]

[TO CONTINUE USING THE POSSESSION SYSTEM CERTAIN CRITERIA MUST BE MET MOVING FORWARD. GOOD LUCK]

“To think I used my last free slots on these idiots but since it’s to secure my escape, I guess it was worth it,” Alexander said then suddenly Josh let go of him.

He looked at Josh who seemed really confused while also looking at him.

“Excuse me but who are you? Wait, now that I think about it, who am I?” Josh asked then started looking all over the room in confusion.

Alexander looked at nurse Julie who was about to press the emergency alarm button on the wall but then she stopped and started looking just as lost as Josh was.

“Sorry to bother you but do you know who I am? What’s my name?” Josh tapped Alexander and asked.

Alexander stood up, looked at the man condescendingly from head to toe then replied “Yes. I know your name”

Just then, nurse Julie came to Alexander and asked “Excuse me but do you know my name too?”

Her name tag had fallen during the entire panic and chaos.

Alexander looked at her from head to toe too and replied “Yes. I know your name”

Both she and Josh smiled.

“Great. So, can you tell us what our names are?” Josh asked.

Alexander looked at both of them and said “Your name is the idiotic Grinch and yours is The wicked Witch of the West”

“Oh,” Josh said.

“What a strange name but I guess it’s mine. Thanks” Nurse Julie said, accepting what Alexander said.

Done with everything, Alexander started to head for the exit.

“Umm, excuse me but where are you going?” nurse Julie asked.

“What does it look like? Obviously, I’m leaving. I’m free to do so”

“Okay, but what about us? What should we do?” She asked.

Immediately, a wicked smile crept onto Alexander’s face and as he got to the open door, he turned to both of them and said:

“You two are going to stay here. It won’t be long from now but some very important-looking people are going to come here, looking for someone named Alexander and they are going to ask you what happened here. When that happens, you’re going to tell them that all of you decided to let him escape”

“Escape? Okay, and?” Josh asked

“And you’re going to tell the most important-looking man among the group and his wife to go f*ck themselves. Understand?”

Both Josh and nurse Julie looked at each other then they looked at Alexander and nodded.

“We understand”

“Good. Now, after the people ask you all the questions they have to ask and you’ve replied the exact way I told you to, they are going to give you a very interesting reward. You like rewards don’t you?”

“Who doesn’t like a nice reward” Josh replied cockily.

“Then, don’t forget to tell them exactly what I told you to and the reward will be all yours”

Nurse Julie smiled from ear to ear.

“Alright, we’ll tell them that we let Alexander—whoever that is—escape. Sounds simple enough” she said

Alexander smirked

“Good,” he said then was about to leave but stopped himself and looked at Josh and nurse Julie.

“Yes?” Josh asked.

“Is there something more you want to add?” nurse Julie asked

“I forgot to tell you but when those two eventually wake up they’ll be just as confused as you were. When that happens, you’re going to tell them the same thing I told you so that all four of you reap the rewards”

Alexander looked at the unconscious doctor and Bob on the floor, chuckled, and then left the room. He closed the door on his exit and began walking down the corridor.

Using the memory of the hospital passages he got from his last possession, Alexander easily maneuvered his way toward escaping the building.

As he walked ahead for a short period, he saw one of the security personnel in a confused state, trying to talk to and understand Nurse Rose who had asked for help but couldn’t remember anything about anything the moment he asked her what she needed help with.

Alexander chuckled and then continued his graceful escape until finally he walked out of the hospital building and stood on the sidewalk.

Alexander, with hands in his pockets, looked to the right which is the path to follow if he wanted to return to the Dove estate.

He remembered how terrible his life had been up to that point, especially the last couple of hours since school and he frowned.

[THE GOD OF VENGEANCE IS CURIOUS TO KNOW IF MR. ALEXANDER CURRY IS ABOUT TO TAKE HIS REVENGE ON THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED HIM?]

Alexander looked down, pondered for a moment, sighed, and then he looked forward.

“No, not yet. I’m yet to fully understand how the possession system works and right now I can’t dish out a vengeance that befits those bastards. For that, I need more power, and by power, I mean social influence. I need enough social influence that’ll allow me to eclipse theirs and for that, I need more money. Money makes this world go round and speaking of money…” Alexander said then cleared his throat.

“System, how many merit points do I have?”

[AFTER BEING GIFTED BY BOTH THE GODS OF VENGEANCE AND POSSESSION, MR. ALEXANDER CURRY NOW HAS A TOTAL OF 30 MERIT POINTS,]

Alexander stroked his chin.

“Hmm, I wonder how much these thirty merit points are worth in actual money. Well, there’s only one way to find out. System, I wish to convert the merit points into money”

[AS MR. ALEXANDER CURRY WISHES]

[CONVERTING ALL MERIT POINTS INTO MONEY]

[CONVERSION PROGRESS: 10%… 27%… 45%… 63%… 89%… 99%… 100%]

[CONVERSATION COMPLETE]

[BALANCE: $3,000,000]

“What the hell?!” Alexander gasped and exclaimed.
