The Player's System

Nine wing

Close to twenty retainers were sent in this wing. This was similar of the other three wings however it was at the outer edges of the city. Two other exits were also given priority.

The retainers succeeded there in capturing other runners. Presently the people were informed not to help the rebels. This was the reason that most of the streets were empty. Natives were afraid to offend retainers.

Five retainers were heading in the same direction. They were curious how the third team was still intact. They wanted to capture them at any cost. Also few of the retainers were missing.

They could not find their whereabouts till now. It created apprehension. They were confused because of the design of the Nine wing. It was likewise tough to go through.

The retainers were not part of this place. They were sent from the center of the city. It had been so long that they were not called for some big task.

They were annoyed currently. The third team was pain in the neck for now. They wanted to capture them and then mock their smartness. In fact they agreed to give some torture before throwing them in the pool of dead.

"We should not split. More than two retainers are missing. In my view the third team is smart enough. They might not be able to tackle us five in one go. Let's capture them." One of the retainers asked others.

They were npc's with the realistic growth of their decision making skills. The distance was not big. Ahram jumped next roof only to immediately lower his head. Those bulky retainers would catch glimpse if he did not take safety measure.

They were heading same street. Ahram silently left. He gestured to the team head to leave this street or hide also told the numbers of the enemies. It was more than they could handle.

Junan decided in hurry to divide team members and send them inside the silent houses. Breaking the doors was not option. It would cater the attention.

"I can open the doors." Jake whispered. He showed lock picking tool. With the level one the normal doors were not hurdle to open. The time was short. It was first ever that Jake was trying to break in door.

He was clueless how thieves move about the locks however he watched a movie where the hero tried same method. It was just clicking of the lock and the door opened.

They were amazed. Junan wanted to praise but because they were tight on available time two of them entered in the first house. Others hurried toward the next door.

Jake opened it and the rest of them entered because they heard the giant footsteps of the retainers. The retainers saw the street empty but they did not leave. These four streets were suspected.

They slowly walked in the street and one of them stopped at some point. "I can sense that they were here. Three of you should check the adjacent street." For him it was impossible to leave in hurry. In case third team tried to run the silent street would create noise of their rush.

Thinking this he was confident that they were still here. Just that he wanted to make sure before checking houses. Three of them clearly noticed the signs on the street.

They called others. "Hm there is no doubt that the body of our man was dragged here earlier. Follow this sign." They followed and it ended in front of a trash bin.

Third team was in hurry. They just stuffed the body in the trash bin. Retainer removed the lid and sure enough. The crumbled body of another retained was stuffed inside.

"Hell they are more than smart but not comparable to us. Hurry in the same street. They are still around." The retainer got the proof. Now he was going to barge in the houses and check.

Jake, Orin and Junan were in the first house of the street. They were surprised that the residents were inside the house. Fear was pasted on their faces to see the Arena Runner.

They were ready to shout however Junan and Orin hurried to stop them. They could hear the footsteps outside. "If there is backdoor we can leave silently and the retainers would not blame your family." Junan whispered in the ears of native man.

He was looking at the door and unable to decide what to do. "If they found us here they will definitely kill your family without mercy. And they would not believe your words that you did not let us in." Junan added to make the man decide earlier.

They entered by opening the lock however the retainer would blame because the door was in good condition. This only proved that the house owner sheltered them.

The native nodded his head knowing that he will be captured and tortured. The retainers would not believe his words. He took them at the winding path walking out of the room. Junan was shocked and confused as well.

For a moment he thought that the man was trying to trap him. It seemed that house was never ending tunnel. His premonition matched. Few of the houses in the nine wing were made to cross distance for one wing to another.

In fact this was safest path too. The normal streets could easily create confusion and the person could get lost. By using some designed houses they could cross wings without getting lost.

Junan noticed a door at the straight line and stopped. "You can go back now. I will silently leave and close the door. However your acted smart I will come back and finish you off." Junan warned.

The man was terrified. He returned and get to his work in case the retainers kick and break the door. The natives should act surprised so that he should not suspect them.

They did not tell about the three runners. Junan did not leave instead looked at other two.
