30 First base...ment
"What the fuck..."
.What, what is it?.
"It looks like it's bigger than we first thought."
Kido starts furiously typing bringing up different scripts and files while speaking to Zach,
"It seems like there is more... It's encrypted! Some received files are more heavily encrypted than others, Principal Gilani only uses a weak encryption so these others ones must be someone else."
.Can you solve them now?.
"No, ill download them and do it when we get back. It's gonna be a while."
Zach looks back to the double doors, he closed them when he entered. Zach shuts the blinds and covers some light sources to make sure they aren't spotted while inside.
...
.How big is that Flash drive?.
"It's a small one so 100GB"
.100!?!?.
"This is small compared to the ones we have in Japan"
...
When Zach's about to change his seated position again the system speaks up,
[Mission : Rescue operation]
[Accept? (Yes/No)]
.What is this?.
"What is what?"
Kido's voice sounds from the middle of the room,
.No, it's nothing.
Zach repeats in his mind,
.Whats the reward?.
[Reward is EXP and an item spin]
.I accept!.
[Mission : Rescue operation accepted]
[Objective, Find basement]
[Failure -1 level]
.What this about failure? You didn't tell me that!.
[Host interrupted]
...
Zach squeezes his temples in frustration,
.Hey Kido, do you know where the basement is?.
"Which one?"
...
.There are two basements?.
"One that the school uses and one i just found... Why?"
.I need to head down to one, i think it's the "Secret" one you just found.
"I don't know what you need to do but we can't stay for that long, ill tell you but if you take too long ill leave without you."
Kido, throws something to Zach.
"This is something i snuck away from my parents, if it gets really bad eat it quickly."
Zach holds the pill up and looks at it carefully, he asks the system what it is.
[Cyanide pill, if eaten by an ordinary person they will die within minutes.]
[System recommends that you eat the pill]
.You're telling me to kill myself?.
[If user wishes to increase poison resistance then user has to ingest poison.]
.It's still dodgy as hell right, i could still die?.
[50/50]
.Ill just hold onto for now, thanks....
Zach looks back to Kido,
.Where is the entrance and what's down there?.
"Gimme a sec... It looks like its downstairs in the corner of one of the classrooms. One your in there it seems like there are traps scattered everywhere, you can use the pad to effect the electronic ones but the others ones are gonna be trouble."
.It's fine, ill go.. lock the door behind me.
Zach looks both ways and closes the double doors behind him, he hears the click of the doors locking as he walks towards the stairs.
Walking down stairs Zach is greeted by the familiar hallway, the poker room is the 2nd door down on the left so Zach keeps a wide distance away from it.
He searches every class room finding nothing but gum under the tables.
.An hour and still nothing, i hope Kido's ok.
Zach walks towards a lively room full of clamouring laughter,
.The only room left.
The room that is housing most of the guards is the objective...
Due to the darkness and Zachs sneak boost from his recent achievement he thinks he could get around without wasting a soul...
Looking through the crack he sees a large table with people sitting around it, candles light up the room just enough to see the cards.
"ROYAL FLUSH!!!!"
"Ahh! Come on, my bluff was perfect!"
Zach times opening the door with their shouts and manages to get in without alerting anyone.
Sticking to the wall he scuttles the right side corner closest to the door, he lightly taps on the floor and it makes a normal sound.
.Next corner.
Zach tries to reach the second corner, but is blocked by someones chair being knocked over. He backs up quickly avoiding everyone's gaze...
.Close one.
He goes to the left side corner closest to the door and taps,
Ting Ting Ting.
A metal sound is produced.
.This must be the door... But how do i get it open.
Looking around Zach doesn't spot any switches by spies a bookcase that is locked behind pane glass. The key to the bookshelf appears to be on the waist of one of the guards...
.Fuck this...
Zach phases through the floor and starts falling.
.WWWWWHYYY IS IT SOOO DEEEPPP.
Crack,
Zach hits the floor like a rock and moans, he lies there for a small time then rolls onto his front.
.Wow, didn't expect that.
He turns his phones light on to see around, it's a concrete floor and a ladder leading up to the door he just phased through.
Shining the light around shows a long concrete hallway with seemingly no end... The only thing lighting the way is his cellphone.
.I'm gonna find some kind of evil genius death laser aren't i...
Zach begins walking phone in one hand, pad in the other.
.It says rescue mission but does it mean a person or something else?.
[...]
The system doesn't reply but Zach knows its listening. It seems to be sentient but tries to act inanimate, he doesn't know what to think and believes it wouldn't hurt him... Right?
