Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 198

Riya was electrocuted because of another item that he bought before he stepped out of the mansion to kill her. It was another sticker. The person he placed this sticker on was electrocuted every time he said the word 'Thunder'.
"I know that you don't die, but I have many ways to kill you that you can't even think of. I would have already killed you to complete my mission, but since you're from Uprising, I want to use you to get some answers. Answer my questions, and I'll let you go. Don't answer me, and I'll keep torturing you," Ryder told her. "The decision is yours."
"First answer this. Do you have any chip in your brain that will kill you if you start answering me? It shouldn't be useful since you're still alive after being shot in the head a few times. Your brain is already blasted off. Still, tell me if you can answer without dying or not," Ryder asked her.
"I can answer," The girl replied. "But I won't answer."
"That's all I needed to know. As for how I get the answers out of you, leave that to me," Ryder said as he smiled.
"Where is the headquarters of Uprising?" He asked the girl.
"Ask that question in hell!" the girl let out as she suddenly attacked once more.
"Thunder," Ryder muttered once more.
Before she could touch him, she fell down on the ground as she groaned in pain.
"You bastard! What kind of Dark Magic is this!" the girl roared furiously.
"A magician never reveals his secrets, but you, on the other hand, need to reveal your secret. I can do this all day. Thunder,"
"Aaaa," The girl wriggled on the ground in pain as if her soul was burning with each electrification.

"I'll tell you! It's in R...." The girl was about to speak, but her eyes when blank as soon as she started talking. White fog started coming out of her mouth as she stopped moving.
"She's dead? Those guys really have some unique methods to kill the ones that are about to expose their secrets. The people that can die have the brain chip like thing, and the people that can't die have something weird altogether. It seems impossible to find about them from small fries," Ryder muttered as he sighed.
He stepped forth and started checking the clothes of Riya to see if divine useful was on her or not.
He didn't find anything useful. She didn't have a phone, either.
"A literal waste of time. At least I didn't have to make the agents my enemy. They saw what I'm not on the enemy's side. Also, this matter will keep them busy. They don't try to get involved in Jameson's interrogation since the matter of Uprising should be more important for them," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
He sent the body of the girl in his storage and sat on the bed as he glanced back.
"He's still unconscious. How long is he going to take?" Ryder wondered as he sighed.
In the meantime, he opened his inventory to check the Mask of Anonymity that he had received. He didn't know what it was, but it sounded somewhat intriguing.
"A mask to impersonate the people that I killed? Incredible! With this, I can impersonate anyone that I killed—even the girls. My body size and my clothes will also change accordingly. Seems pretty useful for disguise," Ryder muttered as he saw the description.
"Now, I don't need to worry about keeping him alive anymore. I can kill him and take his place," Ryder muttered as he glanced at Jameson. "But first, I need my answers."

He stretched his arms and started waiting for Jameson to wake up.

Outside the mansion of Jameson, the backup teams had arrived in heavily armored vehicles. They were all dressed in their proper protective gear as they stepped out.
"Jacob, you talk to them. Let me talk to Captain and tell him everything," Ray told Jacob as he saw the backup.
Ray started talking to the Captain of their team.
"Yes Sir, Riya was bio-enhanced as well. She didn't die when he shot her in the head. We also shot her many times. She was definitely a spy."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"No, Sir, I don't know about that. The man disappeared with Riya. I don't know where he went or what he will do to her. But I believe that he will probably find a way to kill her."
"Yeah, Milana is dead. She instantly died."
"Alright."
"Yeah, I think the same."
"Right."
"Yes, we will continue our mission. We are taking Jameson in."
Ray disconnected the call.
He walked towards the guys that had arrived as a backup.
"Jacob, I'll need you to go back in the car. You need to accompany the body of Milana to the hospital for the further process," Ray told Jacob.
"Are we not raiding this place?" Jacob inquired.
"We are, but you won't be. I need someone to take the body of Milana. She was our teammate. It would only be natural that one of us would go with her," Ray replied.
"Alright. I'll listen to you," Jacob agreed.

Ryder was sitting in the room of Jameson, waiting for him to wake up, and he finally did.
"Good. You're finally up," Ryder said as he smiled.
"Tell me about Estonia. Why did you want to kill her? That's the only question I have left. We'll be done after that, and we can both relax," Ryder told him.
"I don't know. Pasher requested me to help him kill the girl, and I did it," Jameson replied. He was also curious as to why Ryder was sounding like him, but he just saw that it was his hallucination.
"Are you really telling the truth?" Ryder inquired.
"Yes," Jameson replied.
"Damn. I thought that you were the evil boss, but that's Pasher. Fine, it'll be over with his death. I need him for more important matters after all," Ryder muttered. He was continuing when he heard the gunshots.
Even though this room prevented the voices inside from leaving, it didn't stop the outside noise.
"Looks like this matter didn't divert their attention," Ryder muttered. Jameson's phone started ringing.
Ryder picked up the call.
"Master, The place is under attack. The Swat us here as well, I think. We'll do our best to stop them, but you should get out from the back," Daga explained amidst the sound of gunshots.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
