"Alex, is there any limit to what you can do in the mission world?" I asked Alex as I take out a newly bought camera from my backpack. I bought five small hidden cameras. Three out of five have a voice recording function and, the rest of them have night vision. I also bought two that has recording function only. Each camera and the recorder is small. I put it on my body so I can record everything that I need.
"As long I didn't die before the time limit is reached, I'm free to do anything," Alex answered as she also takes out a small drone from her own bag. "After the time limit, I plan to live here for a long time." Alex chuckle with a suspicious blush on her face.
'I bet she's thinking about Alice.' I clicked my tongue before checking at the stuff she brought.
The size of Alex's bag is smaller compared to mine. My bag is big enough to bring all the high-end equipment for my camera. Alex only brings a drone and a small recorder with her. I pull out a laptop from my bag and connect it to Alex's drone using Bluetooth.
Not to mention, I also brought a pocket staff from the system's store. Cost me 100 contribution points. Alex will faint if she knows the price of the pocket staff. Still, the price really suits its quality. 'I can detach the staff to become two separate batons. The batons then can let out two thin blades that are durable as diamonds. On the opposite side of the batons where the sword comes out also has a stun gun function.'
"Is it working?" Alex asked as she tests the fan of the drone. Her question brought me outside of my thought about my new weapon.
"Good." I show the screen to Alex and, she smiles after seeing the camera is working better than she thought. "What about the drone?" I asked.
"Everything looks good. I've made sure the battery is fully charged too." She gives me a thumbs up.
"Can you control it?" I look at her with suspicion.
"Of course! I'm really good at maneuvering things!" She pats her chest in pride before looking at me worriedly. "What about you? Are you sure you're going to go alone? What if they found you? Can you run faster than them?"
"I can outrun and overpowered them easily with both eyes closed." I boast with a big grin.
"Psh.." Alex rolls her eyes after hearing my remarks. "Anyway, just be careful. I don't want to hear the news of your disappearance tomorrow." Alex punched my shoulder jokingly.
"Trust me! I'm okay." I punch her back. "We will communicate using our system. Remember what we should do if one of us or both of our presence got detected?"
"Don't worry! I remember it like the back of my hand!"
"Fine!" I roll my eyes at her. "I'll go now. See you later!" I held out my fist for a fist bump. She returned it, and we both nodded at each other.
I walk toward my destination while wearing a thick black jacket. It will cover my real stature. Because my hairs are pretty short, I can hide it under a simple black beanie before wearing a black cap. I didn't wear my glasses right now. Luckily, most people believe that I have astigmatism. I also didn't forget to wear cotton gloves that won't leave fingerprints. Now, I'm ready to face them and collect evidence of them handling drugs, weaponry, and human trafficking.
Using the information I found, I knew that this is one of the places where Damian and Richard do illegal things. They will send their people to do the dirty jobs over here.
I open the map using the ball's ability. With this ability, I get to see where they hide all their stashes. This place is not far from a seaport. It's pretty much hidden, and it looks like an abandoned factory. There are a few places where a shady business like this happened. But, this place is the nearest to where we live. When I look up, I see a small drone is flying in the same direction as me. I motion to Alex to follow along this line.
The drone is Alex's. She bought it in her previous mission world in the system mall too. The stuff sold by the system is really amazing. I was thinking of buying one for myself too, but my soul level is too low. Unexpectedly, Alex has a really high soul level. There are just not enough contribution points to make up for it. We really are the opposite of each other.
'Is there anyone over there, Alex? Also, could you check for any small entrance?' I asked her by using the system. Right now, I'm hiding behind an abandoned broken car. Alex is staying in the nearest cheap motel that also looks suspicious. Not because of any crime, it just that motel is a suitable place for people who want to have an affair. It was really awkward because Alex and I look like a gay couple. The owner has never received a gay couple as their customer too.
["I don't see anyone. Wait, let me check the surrounding first."] I have to wait for 10 minutes for her news.
["I don't see anyone in the perimeter of the factory. But, I don't know what is going on inside this place, though."] Alex answered. [There are small holes in the factory walls not far from your position. The hole is big enough."]
'Keep watch over me. I'm going in.' After making sure there's no one around me like Alex has said, I run toward the hole she told me about. I crawl inside to see many people are already here. They seem to be doing some transactions.
. Suddenly, I heard Alex is cursing.
["Shit!"]
'What! What happened?' Did someone catch her or something? 'Are you okay, Alex?'
["NO!"] She sounds panic.
'What happened?'
["Alice is calling me!"] She yells again. [''She must have known that I sneak outside the house!! Ugh… She's going to put a lot of salts in her cooking later…"] Alex grumbles.
'Damn this love birds! I thought she was caught by the enemy!!! She makes me worried over nothing!' I grit my teeth as I try to hold myself from punching someone.
'Just tell her you are staying in my house!' I reply with gritted teeth.
["She's already in front of your house, and no one is answering!!!"]
'Ugh! When will you confess to her and make her feels comfortable already!!' I complained while scowling.
["I can't!!! She's only thinking of me as her sister! She doesn't know that we aren't blood-related, yet!!!"]
'Then tell her!' I yell at her.
['But, won't she be disappointed if the person she thought as her family members is not related by blood at all?'] Alex sounds sad, much to my annoyance.
I bite my lip but still forced a smile on my face. Alice will be more than happy to know that Alex is not blood-related. Alice is holding back her feeling because she thinks Alex is her sister. Imagine if that was not the case?
'Listen, Alex, please tell Alice that you like her.' I take a deep breath before continuing to speak. 'All you need to do is to trust me, AND FUCKING CONFESS TO HER ALREADY!!!'
