The Player's System

Store

Clark saw him murmuring something. "This sweat is real?" He asked looking at the forehead. Orin swept his hand on the forehead, it was shocking, "Damn I am sweating with fear. My reputation would go to gutter." Orin spoke dejected. He puffed his chest in order to look strong and fearless.

Jake held his gun because he sensed the presence of npc. The light was not enough for them to wander all parts of the store. Jake stumbled against the broken wooden table. The shuffling dust added in. He waved his hand to get rid the dust coughing. He was no more glad about the effort of the developer to make this Live Portal realistic of this level.

Sashi remained at the entrance of the store. Junan ordered her to remain alert. According to his instinct the second team would follow behind sooner or later. They were not able to complete single task so it was clear that they would put some desperate attempt in order to snatch the task.

Sashi saw the opponent team member and appreciated the instinct of the team head. She was more than ever alert in case they tried to act smart.

The second team stood speechless seeing the girl ready with her weapon. Her long range weapon could easily target them before they reach near. They decided to stay behind until they find good chance.

...

Albert found it difficult to walk pass from the mountain of broken pieces of art and culture. Perhaps the staff didn't maintain well and the heritage of the museum was decaying. He tapped his feet to search way ahead however his feet touched something soft.

He bent to figure out what was there. There was wooden plank over it. Albert shoved it down. He barely recognized the reception lady. She was still in her crimson overall sitting in the heap of dust. Seeing that the visitor was looking at her with strange expressions, she stood up.

"What are you doing here and how did you reached before us?" Albert asked out of curiosity. Others heard his hoarse voice and came to take a look. They were amazed to see that the reception lady was present in the store. They also wanted to know how she reached here before them.

The lady hesitated. "I came here for the staff work yet the wooden plank fell. I recently came to know that Red Ink is shifted in the Gallery. If you wanted to see it, you can go there." The lady answered and flapped her clothes to get rid the dust.

She gracefully walked out of the store before visitors could ask anything else. Albert and others were shocked, also confused.

They saw her leaving. "She could not be faster than us." Clark commented. Ahram was also speechless. He wanted to ask her how she came to know the different location of the Red Ink. They didn't see any other staff in the museum.

"Are we going to gallery or chase this reception lady?" Ahram asked Junan. They were confused. Junan flashed grin. "We will follow this lady. After all we should know the short walkways in order to maintain our progress." Thinking that the lady used short pathways, Junan wanted to chase behind her.

Team members nodded. They hurried when Sashi told them the direction where lady walked. Ahram was faster so he was ahead. Junan ordered him to get the traces of the lady.

Ahram searched the long path. It was strange that the lady disappeared in the air. He ran in all possible directions however she was nowhere.

All of them separated to search her but all in vain. "This is crazy. I am going back toward the reception. If she is there then we can peacefully search Red Ink in the gallery." Junan spoke with terrible temper. He was thinking that perhaps the reception lady misguided them or making them foolish.

They toward the reception.

The second team saw their mad spirits. It was rare to see legendary team in action. They understood it would be tough if they wanted to snatch, be it task or weapon ability. However they were hopeful knowing that every legendary team face drawback or loss of spirits at some point of struggle.

They kept following behind.

Third team oblivious about the enemies ran toward reception. They covered long distance in minimum possible time.

After they the lady sitting across. They halted their steps. The lady kept looking at the paper placed in front of her. "Does she intentionally ignore us or she can only response the players ask something?" Albert posed a question.

No one knew the answer. "We are clueless whether she is miss guiding us on purpose or she hiding something." Junan placed his sword at his back. They had several questions yet the things remained blurry.

"Let's go toward gallery." He announced to search gallery for the Red Ink." Taking the distance they were again in front of the gallery.

The second team saw them entering in the gallery. This gallery had three entrance so they could easily enter from different place. Junan ordered them to make small teams and search. This task took much time because they were running most of the time.

The gallery was clean and clear this time compared to their previous visit. "So the staff renewed it after the haunted object got cleared?" Orin asked. He didn't want others to reply him though.

The destroyed piece was removed. "Can the Red Ink hide behind portraits?" Clark asked. He was not sure how they should search the object. Both were walking in the sections.

Sashi thought to remain alert when her eyes fell at the art piece. It was huge portrait. She clearly remembered this piece and the placement earlier. Now it was stooping at the side as if someone used it as hiding place. She walked near, and gestured Jake to remain alert.

She removed the big portrait and gasped with confusion.. The reception lady was hiding there.
