Spirit Energy
CHAPTER 7: Spirit Energy

"I already know."

Jormac who heard those words felt like a punch in the stomach. He did not understand how Fisa could know about what he found in the office.

"He knows what's going on" Jormac thought to himself. All his efforts in the office to find out about "Spirit Energy" and its potential relationship with the 1000x Nuclear Organization seem to have been revealed.

With a pale face, Jormac asked doubtfully, "How did you know?"

Fisa looked at him seriously. "I have a way to monitor your activities, Jormac. I want to make sure that you do a good job."

Jormac felt very surprised and at the same time felt he had no privacy at all. But, he also realized that this situation may require an extra level of careful supervision.

"I've got some leads" continued Fisa. "But we have to be more careful and move wisely. This organization is very powerful and dangerous. We need more information before we can act."

Jormac nodded in agreement, though he felt embarrassed and surprised by Fisa's supervision. He knew that Fisa was doing that for the safety of both of them.

Fisa continued, "I'll investigate further about this 'Spirit Energy. In the meantime, we need to stay focused on our work in the office. Keep gathering information without attracting excessive attention."

Jormac understood that he should continue his role in the office more carefully and wisely. "Well, I'll do my best."

Then Jormac who was curious and wanted to know more about "Spirit Energy," decided to ask Fisa. In a cautious voice, he said, "Fisa, what do you really know about 'Spirit Energy'? Is it related to the 1000x Nuclear Organization?"

Fisa pondered for a moment before finally answering seriously, "Spirit Energy is something that is extremely valuable to the 1000x Nuclear Organization. They believed that it was a resource that could give them great power. But more than that, I have a personal story about Spirit Energy."

Jormac listened with enthusiasm and curiosity as Fisa recounted his experiences in the torment-filled prison. Fisa told about the unusual food they had to consume every day, about the suffering she felt under the cruel treatment of the guards.

The most terrifying thing is when Fisa reveals that he was once threatened with being killed by one of the prison guards. She details a mature plan she had thought up for several months to escape the horror.

Jormac listened to all this with mixed feelings. He could feel how terrifying Fisa's life in that prison was and how dangerous the 1000x Nuclear Organization was. This information further reinforces his determination to clear their name and stop this dangerous organization.

Fisa continued her story, telling how she spent time in prison to ponder and find out about Spirit Energy. He tried to dig up information from every prisoner he could talk to, but information about Spirit Energy remained a closely guarded secret by the 1000x Nuclear Organization.

One day, however, fate took his side. A book called "One-time Energy" fell from the hands of a guard as they passed each other in the prison hallway. Although Fisa could not read the contents of the book, she was sure that it was related to Spirit Energy.

Sometime later, Fisa coincidentally overhears a conversation between two prison guards who are unaware that she is listening. They were talking about the 1000x Nuclear Organization returning to active duty and looking for Spirit Energy for an unknown purpose.

"The organization has come back to life" said one of the guards in a whispering voice. "They believe that Spirit Energy is the key to achieving their great goals."

Fisa felt like she found a missing piece of the puzzle. He concluded that the 1000x Nuclear Organization planned to use Spirit Energy for mysterious and dangerous purposes.

After hearing the story and explanation from Fisa, Jormac could not help his admiration for Fisa's analytical ability. Although all Fisa knew was assumptions, she never doubted Fisa's ability to connect the clues and information she had. In his heart, Jormac felt lucky to have such an intelligent ally.

"Your analytical skills are excellent, Fisa," Jormac praised sincerely. "I'm sure you're approaching the truth with your assumptions about Spirit Energy."

However, Fisa responds to Jormac's praise in a way he didn't expect. He gave a sharp look to Jormac, and it made him feel uneasy.

Fisa asserted, "Don't be proud too early, Jormac. All of this is just an assumption, and we are far from revealing all of these secrets. I won't be proud of my assumptions until we have concrete evidence."

Jormac immediately felt regret for his less cautious words and quickly apologized to Fisa. "Sorry, Fisa," he said humbly.

Fisa exhaled heavily, as if he was contemplating something seriously. Then, in a stern tone, he said, "Jormac, I have to be honest with you. Clearing our names is impossible, and we may never be able to return to a normal life."

Jormac felt surprised and confused by Fisa's assertive statement. "What do you mean, Fisa?" jormac asked, trying to understand what was going on.

Fisa looked at Jormac seriously and replied, "In three days, we will be fugitives. The 1000x Nuclear organization will not remain silent after we escape. We'll be under threat for life, and we'll have to live in hiding."

Jormac felt his heart thump. Jormac panicked at the news that they would be fugitives in three days. He did not know what to do and continued to ask Fisa, "What should I do, Fisa? How can we handle this?"

However, Fisa was just silent, and her expression remained solemn. "I don't know either, Jormac," he answered truthfully. "We'll find a way out together, but right now, you need to calm down."

It was very late, and Fisa saw the tension on Jormac's face. "You need to rest, Jormac," he said gently. "Yesterday was a long day. Go to sleep now, and we'll talk more tomorrow."

Jormac was disappointed not to get a definitive answer, but he knew that Fisa was also in a difficult situation. He finally nodded and went to his bedroom with mixed feelings. Thoughts of an uncertain future and lurking threats made it difficult to sleep, but she knew she had to try to relax for a moment. But because his body felt very tired, Jormac eventually fell asleep.
