Eyes on me

Sir Thomson, sir solace says he wants to meet you and he has been waiting for quite some time now" One of his researchers barged into his office to inform him, it was rare for Solace to visit a random research facility so he thought his boss would be interested.

"Has he gone limp or what, he can come to meet me here, and don't barge into my office like that again" Hearing what his boss had told him he could only give a wryly smile as he didn't know what to tell Solace.

'why is Sir Thomson so angry, this is a rare opportunity that most research facility would be dying to have and he wants to push it away just like that well it doesn't concern me pfft why do I care it's not like I care, I bet Sir Solace will leave' the worker thought to himself as he went to inform Solace?

Surprisingly after he had told Solace he didn't seem to react the way he'd expected and this left the worker pondering to himself.

Sitting in his office Thomson didn't seem to even the slightest as he was more concentrated on his research typing away on his desktop computer, by the side of the room a large glass tube could be seen, and inside was a boy who seemed to be around the age of 17 a large oxygen mask was placed on his face as the tube was filled with a liquid, on his head, there were soft pads placed there to sense all the strange activities going on in the latter's brain.

Hearing that name always brought back memories. Memories he wanted to forget and that was why he wasn't happy with the latter's visit.

"Thomson long time no see," Solace said as he entered his office.

"Why are you here, I don't need you in my office I have important matters I need to attend to" he replied rudely.

"It's an urgent matter and I really need your help to handle it, don't allow past matters to interfere with the present, we all made our different mistakes, and am sorry for everything that happened it was all due to my greed," Solace said sad and downcast.

"It wasn't a mistake," Thomson said in a low voice as he tightened his fist "What's so urgent that would make the world's best researcher come to visit someone like me," Thomson said still looking at his desktop screen, ignoring the latter statement which surely had angered him.

"Don't talk like you have no idea of anything, don't mock me because am old and weak, you for one know you are better than me" he replied indifferently

"Don't flatter me, just get straight to the point

Taking a seat Solace said "As you know I have been doing my own personal research even before the government asked for my aid.

Am sure you would have figured that out by now, I have figured out a lot of things about the game, things that are quite bugging to know.

I have even seen an outline of the game myself and since I started my research it seems like someone has been keeping an eye on me following my every move and anytime I am close to the answers am looking for one thing always seems to go wrong, that's why I came here to give you this...."pulling out a flash drive.

He continued "this contains all the information and research I have done concerning the game, I made this research with the secretary of Claven, Alicia and she just died a few days ago in her apartment, the police made their investigation and found out from the last camera footage in her house that she slumped from her staircase and died, her death confirmed my suspicions because it wasn't a very normal one to say and I know my turn is up next cause whoever is doing this knows I will be a potential problem to his plans, with this am sure you'll find a way to end all this madness" he said as he stood up, dropping the flash drive on Thomson's office desk

"I know I wasn't a good teacher and I know I did a lot of bad things to both you and the others, I hope you find a way to forgive me," he said before walking away leaving the room silent once again.

"He always says it like it's an easy thing to do," Thomson said.

**********

The after-effect of the sound bomb had settled and it was quite massive but looking closely Khorus still stood unaffected, that was in his looks though which was quite deceiving in this virtual world.

[HP: 62]

Nolan had just applied simple physics to the whole thing, he knew his opponent uses lightening. So with a perfect timing all he had to do was to throw his bomb.

With the metallic ball passing through the field at such a speed it would gather an electromagnetic field increasing 10 times it's effect.

'I will say he is a smart one, his timing was evenly perfect' Khorus thought. Although he was very much prepared for a trick like that he never expected his powers to be used against him in such manner.

"That's an old trick, we always have countermeasures for that, here check this out, he started..pointing the ear pods in his ear.

They are quite nice, they can easily let you hear through them if you want to and if you don't it simply blocks away all the noise" he completed his statement leaving Nolan quite shocked.

"Wasted efforts" Ra laughed hysterically in his head. Even Nolan's expression went blank, it was completely unexpected.

'Hmmm I never knew of that so it was only the electric currents that would have affected him, his so lucky even though I was a bit far from him the bomb and the currents still got to me and am not in the best state for a fight

[HP: 56] Nolan thought

"Now don't worry it's just how the world works, ignorance is really a bad thing," Khorus said mockingly with a large smile plastered on his face.

"Now it's my turn," he said as a dim light engulfed his hands and a small shotgun with the tip almost as large as a cannon appeared.

[Electric shotgun blasters]

[Mid-level rank: peak]

[a shotgun/cannon that blasts a powerful electronic blast that can cover a certain range, power differs with the number of nano points used by the player from a range of 20-5000]

"Vrooooooom' the cannon loaded and then 'puff puff' no sound was heard and all the energy gathered by the shotgun had suddenly disappeared.

'What's wrong the notification has already appeared' he thought still staring blankly at the notification in front of his eyes.

[1000 nano points been used]

He suddenly noticed another presence that wasn't there before. Her long purple hair fluttering intensely under the wind.

"Sorry to interrupt but this fight can't go on any longer," Lia said firmly

"Follow me the three of you, we will have a little talk," she said seeing Emmy who managed to reach the fight scene and was also shocked as to how Lia had appeared there.

'She seems to be strong and It's quite noticeable that she was the one who had blocked my attack It's best I listen to her besides I came here to have a conversation' Khorus thought.
