201 Playing
After they finished observing the two infected people, Alex and Glen left the place, carrying the two infected with them.
Alex turned his head to Glen with a complicated look on his face.
"Are you sure we can just bring them to your headquarters just like this, Mr. Glen?"
While moving, Glen tilted his head and asked, "What? Aren't we doing alright?"
Hearing that, Alex glanced at the swaying body of the male infected on Glen's shoulder and the female infected on his.
Alex sighed, giving up from even saying anything.
Right now, the two of them is silently running above the roofs of the houses around.
As Alex just said, their current destination is the CPS's headquarters.
In other words, the bookstore.
Alex and Glen both moved with haste and soon arrived at their destination.
Without hesitation, Glen stepped inside the bookstore.
However, instead of going to the isolated corner that Alex is familiar with, Glen went to the shopkeeper behind the counter.
Then he said, "Open the door."
The shopkeeper bowed lightly and moved to the side, letting Glen enter behind the counter.
Alex felt a bit confused by all of this and remained on the same spot, just staring at Glen.
Looking back at Alex with an eyebrow raised, Glen said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go, we need to bring them to the lab immediately."
"Ah, yes!"
Alex snapped out of his daze and immediately followed.
Once he got behind the counter, Alex saw that there's actually a new pathway on the floor, stairs that lead underground.
Without saying a word, Glen went ahead and walked down the stairs.
Curiously, Alex followed Glen down underground.
Unlike the other pathway where lights automatically open to brighten up the place once the entryway closes.
"What I'm going to do, huh," Sylvia repeated his question, looking at the stars in the sky like looking for an answer up above the glittering dots and the dark blanket covering them.
After a few minutes of thinking and being silent, she answer, "Well, to start of I will need to learn about this world first," She stop for a second then continued, "For now I need to gather information about the life of the people here."
"Well that should be easy," He look again at sylvia and continued, "You just need to use the internet for information, you can learn almost everything in there."
"Internet? What is that?" She ask tilting her head a little.
Frey daze for a second and unknowingly said, "You look really cute" then he woke up and flustered.
A young man in his teens can be seen lying on the ground, his not moving and his breathing is steady, it looks like he is unconscious.
This young man is Frey Trickster, from the Trickster family, a young bored because of his boring repetitive life.
Frey is a man dreaming to become someone big someday just like in the novels he read, the protagonists can overcome anything, they can do anything, not just that more importantly they do it very, very, very excellently.
He want to have the thing they called the "Golden Finger" and do anything in the world. He want to be praise just like the superstar or someone powerful.
After school he felt that boredom unlike anything else, its like its going to eat him if don't do anything to appease it and he can understand a little where its coming from, the novels that he enjoy in the past is not enough anymore for his boredom.
Frey felt that everything just keep repeating, because today is just like yesterday and he think tomorrow will be just like today. I mean go to wake up in the morning, go to school, listen to the teachers until the end of the class, then go home, then sleep.*sigh* yup that's what I do everyday pretty boring right?
So today he wander on the nearby hill that I always see when going home from school 'cause he thought it will give him even just a little bit of fun.
After feeling a little tired, Frey rested for a bit and look for a good spot that he can see the town from. He sat down and drank some water from his water bottle.
It was then that he heard the sound of a very loud thunder from the sky. Thinking that it is going to rain, he stand up and get his phone to look at the time, its 5:30 when he look at it.
Frey was going to put away the phone when suddenly lighting strikes down on his phone, its like a dragon descending from the sky, like a poisonous snake from primordial times.
Because he is holding the phone of course he was hit by the sudden lighting and collapses falling unconscious.

When I regain consciousness I was lying on this dirt. Thinking why I was lying down in here I tried to remember what happen and when I remember that I was struck by lightning I feel scared and I check my body for any injuries but I didn't find any. Feeling shock that there is no any injuries I check again every body parts slowly, checking if wrong properly but I still didn't fin anything.
'Weird' is the only word that I thought appropriate to describe this thing that's happening to me.
Putting everything on the back of my head, I started to look around and notice that it's already dark I immediately stand up to go home and I search for my phone because I didn't see it anywhere until now. Then I saw something even more weird, in the corner of my eye there is something that is blinking, when I focus on it, the phone that I am searching for appear in my arm.
Because of shock I just stand there staring blankly in the phone that is in my arm. After recovering from the shock that I felt, I started to look carefully at the phone, its not like the phone that I use to check the time earlier, it look more modern from it. It is color black and got a slick feel to it. I try to open it to check the phone.
When the phone open, the logo appear that make me sure that the phone is still working but what I saw is not the logo of the phone that I'm used to. Now the logo is a cloud and there is a man above it. After it fully open the phone suddenly vibrate.
