Seeing a team of analysts directing their eyes on him, he was more than a little stressed out. Most of them were his seniors, both in practice and in age, too. It was not a good thing to twist things around here…
“I-I think that-that it is perhaps recognizing him as one of them”
“Yep, what else do you think”
“The material-I mean, the things on him disappeared. Probably means we can’t take anything from our side. Just as the government cannot use any weapon against it effectively. The same reason is behind it”
The president was still looking at him. He had some more things in mind, but he did not know what this person wanted from him.
‘Just give me some hints, big brother’
Allen continued, “Um, I think it is better to observe what happens with the injection and all, awe got it from… the animals, right?”
The president was smiling a bit and then said
“Alright. That was not everything that I have gathered all of you for. There is one additional thing. The government took these samples from the creatures that had been killed. Since there were only a few hundred of them, it was quite a work to get these things into my hand. I was thinking of what to do from here. Others matters already occupy the other researchers, right?'“
He smilingly looked at the people present. Most of them looked at him and gulped and just nodded along with him. The president continued,
“So, I was thinking someone who did not have any responsibilities among the people present could take on this task, and make a team with other researchers. Mr. Allen, maybe you can take this task for us. What do you think?”
Was there even anything room left to think? He was just going to nod along too, just like all the others were doing, like a hen moving their heads. But the president suddenly said.
“The meeting is over. Mr: Allen, you can reply to me later.” He made his assistant deal with Allen after that.
That was a load off of him, for now. He just went to his room, did some online scanning about the things that he had seen in the meeting. There was nothing he could find out.
‘Definitely, a weird liquid that was‘ Allen unknowingly fell unconscious because of exhaustion while in the middle of doing that.
… After that, he found himself at the same place that he had lost consciousness in, with the person who they had met in the institute for a few moments. There was no one else in there even though Allen could kind of remember there were other there too, but he was too drowsy. He could not even lift his body properly, he could somewhat see the same man that had met them coming closer to him wit ha syringe in his hand. The man slowly got close to him and injected the syringe into him. That was the most he could remember from the scene. What happened next was that he could feel some kind of vibration as someone was running while carrying him. Soon, before he could figure out the last spot they ended up, he woke up in bed shocked.
He looked at the spot that had the syringe inserted and, for a moment, seeing nothing relieved him. But, he could faintly see some kind of spot that had the sign of injection on it on closer observation. He looked at it and his face turned a little scrunched up with mixed feelings of shock, surprise and fear.
It looked like he had to be serious about the matter of the project that the president had discussed with him, Allen thought while looking at the contact of the president’s assistant that he had received.
Allen immediately called and signed the deal, assuring that he would do the honor to the task.
Only after the call finished and he lay down in bed again in the middle of the night, ‘he could see that he was very impatient in calling just now. Maybe that could be described more as strong, decisive, but he was sure that was not his character. What happened?’
Not to mention that Allen was not feeling very sleepy right now and that he could see some strange light in the night.
‘It is beautiful’ is all he could say about that. It was in the lands, in the skies, and it was flowing from one end to another. That was not a regular phenomenon. He hurriedly searched for it but ended up with no result. He took a picture to ask about it, but the camera… was not showing anything of that sort.
‘This will not be good’ Allen thought, being both worried and amazed at seeing this river of light flow.
The ability to see the river flow only worked at night. At daytime, it was like the stars, covered by the sunlight.'What could cover a thing like that?' Allen thought so, a little exhausted.He was sick. He checked with the institute’s doctor, but the doctor could not find out much.Probably the reason the government asked not only the doctors to look into the matter but the research institutions too, especially considering where the thing started from. They did not specialize in diagnosis.The place where he had the injection mark was also not looking good in its appearance.He was constantly at the place where he was working alone, trying to figure out what was wrong with his body, as other doctors could not help. One thing he got confirmed was when, after selecting some student assistants and some other research assistants from 3 to 4 stars, that they went to their assigned area and were face
Allen always saw the latest news about the domains and the creatures.He made some special orders for some reporters to get some more information out of the situation. The different dates that domains were appearing, the different attempts at trying to enter with different devices ad so on, all he gathered. There was a complete map drawn out in from of him that he marked with various things, with some pictures, news headings, and notes. When he kind of sent this data in a report, the president’s assistant had asked him.“Are you planning on hijacking them… what are you going to do with it?” The assistant asked.“… I believe the patterns could make us identify more things about them. The spread is from a center spot, after all. There are some large domains and some small, I think I can probably figure out that matter with this..” Allen said.‘ And probably do other thing
Allen, having lost almost all of his memories, said to himself “….. I am a farmer. I don’t know when I started farming, neither what is the name of this area. But I know this is the domain from the real world and I, now the farmer Allen, am going to explore it.” Allen went to his farm and watered the plants already buried in it. The weather was also turning quite bad, and then the rain started. He took refuge inside a home next to the barn. “This is probably my home,” Allen said to himself. There was nothing in his mind that he could remember about this world except what he was trying to analyze from the things. The farm was basically empty except that… there was a knocking on the door right now. He got up to open the door, and there was a young woman. He assumed she was looking for a shelter. “Lady, are you looking for a shelter?” “I am indeed looking for a shelter, but… lady? Who are you saying this to?” The wo
He did not know what to say. They sat for more than a few minutes. Allen had to get something out of this meeting. He was of the feeling that time was running out.“Is your family okay?”She wasn’t quite able to respond…were they alive or…Allen didn’t put that to wording.Allen tried to be more general and ask about her situation. He said, ”Are things fine now?”“Yes, they are”“So we didn’t marry….did we?”The woman looked at him and said, “No, you didn’t.”Kind of suppressed his sigh of relief, but he was sure that she could see that he was quite happy about it, it showed on her face.With that out of the picture, now he could calm down.He reminded himself, ’Calm down, calm down'His posture relaxed a lot. Now he could get some more information about the current sit
Allen had some time on hand, so he wrote his thoughts on a piece of paper in the diary. Due to it being too small, his thoughts ended up becoming disjointed in the paper. He tried to summarize it in neat points again and what he had was:1) ‘They are a type of virus detection system and are considering me a threat to the domain.’or2)…it could be the case that actually the forces wanted to find something that was with him or her, maybe even the both of them, and they did not know where they were. So they started by methods of elimination.3)It was also possible that they were trying to make all the residents leave from here, to get the resources of this land4)Could be that these outside forces neither wanted their land nor anything they possessed…but they actually wanted to capture them. That was a strange possibility.The first point could not be possible as they would not hav
Allen was of the mind to prove him wrong now. He had some ideas done what to do. He was not much of a fighting champion and the enemy had come armed with guns, but they were probably not trying to kill him. Else they could have already done so. He knew that they were going to injure him. With a point-blank range, they would not be much careful. When they had gotten extremely close to them before they had shot at them; he had gotten barely scot out of that before. That was the first time in his life that he was shot at. That was why he was terrified and just wanted to get out of there. The last thing on his mind would have been to confront them. But that was what he was tasked by himself to do now. He would not let some depressed man justify his depression because some situation in his life hit him. That problem was always going to come on him. The man said that he tried what he could, but he had taken the responsibility for her from her family.
Swiftly he was called back to that man, who now looked a little pleased seeing Allen unable to close his mouth from the excessive shock that he was going through. He thought ‘It is the first time i’m getting this much entertainment so easily’ Allen could see the man smirking looking at him, but he still did not calm down. He did not care that the man was taking joy out of this; he went near him and sat in a chair that had appeared sometime he was not paying attention. He said to the man, “What is…all of this?” “Well, I’m certainly not the creator of this thing, so I don’t know either. There is one thing I know for sure, however, that this may interest you a lot” Allen thought, ‘Well, I am interested more than a bit. Just tell me what to do’ Allen said, “So, what is the price to get….whatever this thing is called” The man looked here and there, then finally focused towards him and said, ”You asked who was I be
Soon, the small flow actually reached the dog and after circling the dog to Allen, Allen could feel that the minor bruises that were still present from his time in the domain were improving a little and he overall felt more energized.Allen said, “Good now I won’t have to explain anything”The assistant said, ”Don’t worry about that. You will clarify everything”He still was there?Anyway, the unique thing was that Allen felt was that this light was not leaving the both of them. It also avoided the others present there.’ Well, another aid I guess,’ Allen thought, looking at the dog that had come along with him.He had ideas what the man could be, but a dog….that was another level alright. Then his wife…..what was the farm?Allen was curious about these things for an unknown reason. He had a neve
The monkey stared at the lion. It said “What do you mean? You want to drop out?”The lion said “Yes. The taller guy is like a professional hunter. We have come so close to him, but he hasn’t responded in any way till now. I suspect some trap.”“You are right in saying that there is a trap. But I am not settling down without giving them troubles now and then.”
Allen asked Jack the new video guy to come and meet him somewhere close by. Sitting in a café, Allen saw many people entering and exiting. Among them was a man who was on the phone as he entered. Allen signaled to him and the guy came to him.Allen said “Jack I assume? It’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope you had a nice journey till here”The other man said “Yes. I am Jack, Sir Allen. And yes, glad to meet you and hope you are doing well also.”Allen said, “Then I assume that we can talk about the project a little bit?”Jack said, “Yes, I understand some aspects but some questions are still there.”Allen said “Can you kindly repeat the things that I said about the project. It will help me know where we stand right now.”“The project has a specific audience that is students of science and the project is supposed to be a call to acti
Allen turned around a corner and started to walk fast. There were people following him now and then. The last time he saw them, they were wearing formal black suits. The times they followed him most were when there were a lot fewer people around the area. That’s why Allen tried to keep himself in crowded areas throughout the day and for the night, he had taken a room in a crowded place also.As he came near the entrance, Allen took off the extra overcoat, the glasses, the hat, and the mustache and threw them away in a bag. He entered the building and went to his room hiding among a few other people. Looking from the window of his room, he saw a man wearing a black formal suit coming inside. Allen went downstairs and sat on a seat somewhere from where he could observe the man. The suited man asked the man at the counter something, the man at the counter replied in negative to whatever the man in a suit asked. And then the man went away without look
He needed to launch “Video Streaming”, the domain’s version of Nettflix here to accomplish his task. The content was already quite a lot of content in the market. He hence had to provide them with new and better stuff, and he took this challenge.He looked at the prices of some directors, and they were way above his reach. Some other less known directors found his ideas not in the trend and hence they would not sponsor the project. What he did was he searched for the closet film production university that was accepting admissions and made his camp there. Allen waited for the exam to finish and, by looking at the faces of the people who came outside, he already guessed who was thinking what. He picked some of them, taking advantage of the fact that they were in an excited emotional state. He talked to multiple of them and got their numbers. After that wa
Casually skimming through one, it took him a few hours to get to its last. Looking at the other two, he took a quick break by noting down some terms in his electric notepad. After a quick summary, he then read the second book, reading to its half, he left it there.He got a general idea for the day. This country had quite bad ties with another neighboring country of its. Both of the countries were split from a single country a few centuries ago, and they had feuds in between them based on their respective ideologies. The other country had, over the centuries, progressed more than them, because of their flexible ideology. The people of this country, although disliked it, could not or did not make a strong attempt enough to break this trend.Most of the things here were copies of the other country. &
After what seemed like a few mins, he opened his eyes as a student, as a university student this time.Allen now thankfully had enough clues to figure out what game this domain wanted him to play. It was making him go from one education age to another, primary to secondary, making him face the wall of tests again and again. Then, it gave him some buffer time by sending him to a free time of the high school year. He admitted. He was getting side-tracked as time went by because the vision and goal that he wanted to accomplish had become blurry after several months. The drive behind everything that he did before was almost gone. The major problem was that the memories of his were not fully available and hence he could not get himself to do a lot, as he was losing his steam, his motivation.Now, with the clearest idea since the time he came into the domain, his purpose became a lot clear again. It boosted his drive. He wrote down the things that he n
The other man among them heard the words of his mate. His mood worsened. He shouted, “Brother, your words are enough to scare someone. Calm the heck down!!...anyway, Allen Smith, you remember how you got here?” Allen just wanted to get out of this cell. He didn’t fuss about the extra Smith that the man added in his name.Allen said, “The thing is that I surrendered. There was a gun in my mind and a person on the ground, and-and police were surrounding me from every side? No, from three sides, one side was left open”The man said, “I knew that surrendering was the most likely. It was unlikely that the government could catch you so easily else-wise. If that was the case, they would have done this months ago. Their torture and other threats would not have worked, I know. But now, I would like to ask you why did you surrender, but you say you forgot most of the things. Anything that you remember right now?”The second man sa
The monkey was hiding in the trees with a bird. The bird was not liking the rain, but there was not much it could do now. It had already tried to warn the monkey of the season change a couple of hours ago. The monkey, however, did not want to retreat so fast, because of reasons that the both of them were aware of, but the bird had to listen to the monkey because of the same reasons.The money knew it was not good to force the bird because of its legit concern, so it tried to follow the direction of the cage trail. When it reached there, it found only a broken cage. In anger, it ran circles around but found nothing else. Hence, the only option was to go with the bird. Therefore, both of them were stuck together. The dog also could not pursue the enemy because of the rain having washed many traces.The rain went on for more than half a day. Sometimes, it would become a little less and sometimes it was quick. But it was a good thing that there was n
Directions of the ants were different when they detected this emergency. They were returning to their nest from here, as was clear from the number of increased ants with time. But, they were also going somewhere else, somewhere the trio probably didn’t want them to go. It was probably better for the trio to get out as fast as possible.After the 10th hour, Yushin left his place and told the trainer about his worries. The trainer didn’t want to let this piece of fat meat go by so easily. So he asked Yushin and Mule to go ahead and make some cave in the mountain place that they were on before and leave some markings on the way for him to follow.The trainer arrived, looking very thrilled.Yushin looked at Mule, who went running and stopped the trainer in his tracks asking about the meat.The trainer in his smile said that hopefully the situation will not develop to that stage, but that he brought some meat with him. The li
