I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 332: 332. I Have Been Drugged without me knowing

"Let's transport him to headquarters and report that the initial test result is negative."

Orion closed his eyes as he couldn't keep them opened, feeling like all the strength in his body had suddenly drained away.

'What's happening to me?'

Orion felt like he was dying. He couldn't breathe, couldn't stand, and couldn't keep his eyes open. Weakness overwhelmed him, and most disturbingly, he was hearing voices he those voices he didn't know where they came from.

"Um, looks like the effects of the drugs are fading. Give him another shot."

'Drugs?'

Even though Orion couldn't fully grasp what was happening, he understood that being drugged wasn't good.

'What should I do? I don't have my curses from the three domains, and I'm very weak in this simulation.'

Orion thought anxiously. He knew he needed to act before they gave him another dose. But how?

'Wait a minute! They said another shot! That means I have already been drugged once. But when and how? Was it Jake? Chuck?'

He couldn't understand how he was suddenly drugged and where did those voices keep coming from?

'Was it the red mist? The red smoke?'

Orion pondered fast. He didn't have much time before he was shot with another drug.

'Simulation! Is this really Grimshore or all this the effect of a drug?.... Only one way to know.'

In desperation, Orion activated the curse of Dimensional Dissonance, instinctively trying to enter his own dimension. He couldn't control any of his curses, and worse, he didn't even have access to his body in the three domains. All he could do was think about activating the curse and entering his dimension and hoped that it worked. It was the only option left.

"He vanished! Where did he go? Are there others here?"

"No, fool. We messed up. The drugs were wearing off, and he used that opportunity to escape. Damn it!"

"But how could that be possible? Even if he was regaining consciousness, he shouldn't have been able to use his mana."

"There's no point in dwelling on it. Search the entire area. He couldn't have teleported far in his state."

But how had it happened? How did he end up here?

'I must have been drugged right before entering Grimshore, which is why I dreamed of Grimshore because of the drugs.'

Orion frowned as he pondered. 'Right before entering Grimshore?'

He checked his status and saw that his stats were still maxed at 100, confirming that he had been drugged after maxing them out.

'But when?'

Orion was certain he had entered Grimshore immediately after maxing his stats. But in reality, he hadn't. The dream had been induced by the drugs.

He understood that now, but he still couldn't figure out exactly when he had been drugged. It had only been a short time since he maxed out his stats, and the drugs had already started taking effect.

The scariest part was that he hadn't noticed anything. Everything had felt too real—he hadn't doubted for a second that he was in Grimshore or not.

'How did they drug me without me realizing?'

Orion racked his brain until a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning.

'My whole house must have been drugged. That's why I didn't notice anything.'

With advanced technology, it wouldn't be hard to develop a colorless, odorless drug in gas form.

'They must have filled my house with the gas. While I was absorbing the cores, I inhaled the drugs without knowing it. By the time I finished, I was fully under its effects and lost consciousness.'

The more Orion thought about it, the more it made sense. There was no other way he could have been drugged so easily.

'I have to get out of here.'

Orion checked his halowatch and found it intact. He checked the time and saw that only three hours had passed since he maxed out his stats.
