The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 5: A Successful Test

Wilfred Zhang was terrified. He was gravely wounded, and he understood that he would never see his family again, he hoped for a swift death.  The worst part was that he was completely innocent of the allegations. He had travelled to Antarctica to negotiate a trade deal for a minor independent Chinese company. Suddenly, masked men had knocked him unconscious and moved him to this dark room.

Wilfred Zhang looked up. He was surprised when he saw a familiar face in front of him, the face of Abraham Goldstein. Wilfred Zhang was baffled; he could never have imagined that the leader of a major faction personally came down to oversee the torture of a prisoner. Suddenly Abraham signalled to the guards to hold Wilfred while he pressed something into his ear. After that, they all left without saying a word.

In the next room Abraham observed Wilfred and felt excited. The Human chip had merged with Wilfred’s brain stem. The technology worked; he could feel what Wilfred felt, he could see what Wilfred saw, and he could read his mind. Poor Wilfred wasn't a spy just an innocent man petrified of his imminent death. "Oh well I can sort you out," Abraham thought and started transmitting to Wilfred

Abraham Goldstein (As a voice in Wilfred’s head)

-          Wilfred, Wilfred can you hear me.

-          This is God; I can show you the path out of here.

Wilfred Zhang (screaming out loud):

-          What? What the is this, what are you doing to me?

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Don’t question, just believe, and follow the path

Wilfred Zhang (resigned):

-          Okay God, please show me the path

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Good, you'll be rewarded.

-          You'll see your family again, and the pain will be gone.

Abraham then induced a hallucination into the brain of Wilfred. While hallucinating, Wilfred thought he was at home with his family and the pain was gone. It didn't last for long as Abraham got distracted when the amazed black ops operatives, Lucifer and Nuriel, from his ANGEL program, talked among themselves:

Lucifer:

-          What the heck is happening? What is he doing?

Metatron:

-          I have no idea

Abraham Goldstein:

-          Don’t worry gentlemen. Everything is working exactly as it should. This man is innocent. I want you to detain him until I personally instruct you otherwise.

-          Make sure he gets medical attention at once; I don't want him dead.

Abraham left the room, and the flabbergasted Lucifer and Nuriel sat quietly in the room for a long time trying to figure out what just happened.
