Chereads / E.S.C.A.P.E: Underworld / Chapter 48 - Guide Book

Chapter 48 - Guide Book

We have come home and I am currently here in the bathroom soaking in the bathtub I looked up at the ceiling and closed my eyes, this day is very tiring. I suddenly remembered the files I quickly get up and take the shower.

After I got dressed I quickly opened my bag and searched for the files I had picked up, thankfully they didn't look at our bag. I started reading the files

A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was. The diameter of the base floor was about ten kilometers. Above, one hundred floors were stacking straight upwards: its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of. Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small-scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was so easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city on the upper floor, the Teleport gates there and of every city on the lower floor would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels.

"Meaning when the monster is defeated on each floor everyone can benefit, its goal is to get to the one hundred floors" I murmured

I read on until I didn't notice that it was already morning. I also learned a lot, just a few pages and I'm done reading the guidebook. I don't know why I wasted my time reading this but I think it will help me in the future.

When we got to the classroom they were all there talking seriously

"What's the news?" I asked them, I'm about to put my bag in my chair when Zendaya speak

"Let's go somewhere" They stood up and left the classroom and I followed them, Celine and I went to the door together and she pushed me on the shoulder and then went out first, I just rolled my eyes; What a bitch

We are here in the garden, it's a good thing and Alma has some food, I'm hungry.

"What do you think we should do? The capsules we saw last night were former students in this school" Seth said

"We can save them? I don't know why they are no relatives looking for them but I feel sorry for them they are locked up there like an animal's just to experiment" Eunice said, I stopped eating and spoke

"There is only one way we can do to save them; we need to enter the underworld," I said, they have to voluntarily log out in the underworld we can only do that if we talk to them within the game to convince them. If we just removed the nerve gear to them they will die

"Underworld?" They are looking at me; I took a deep breath as I told them what I had discovered

"I think they also have a plan for us, they want us to dive in that world too," Zandeya said seriously

"Is that still dangerous? Isn't it just a virtual game?" Judith said

"The nerve gear can destroy a person's brain by emitting high-powered microwaves, shutting down one's vital processes, and the E.S.C.A.P.E operating system has been programmed to do so if the player's hit points are reduced to zero. Meaning if you die in the virtual world you will also die in the real world" I explain

"They just need to log out, why don't they just do it?" Alma asked

"Maybe when you dive into that world your memory will be deleted, that's the best answered to that question," Zendaya said in her conclusion. But I think something is wrong

"I have an idea, why don't we just transfer to another school?" Eunice said

"That's very impossible, they already know that we have an idea about what's going on in this school, they will not let us escape," Zendaya said and bite her burger

"We need to face it, that's the thing that we can do," Seth said

The class had already started and until it ended I was still floating. I suddenly remembered a student who came out of the game; I needed to talk to her

"We will be ahead of you, see you on Monday" When they said goodbye, the three of us; Seth and Zendaya were left in the classroom

"You go home first; we have a meeting in the student council about the first batch of field trips next week," Seth said as he grabs his bag

I took a taxi to the Agrath Asylum. When I arrived I immediately asked where Ava Faith Luca's room was

"I'm sorry ma`am but there is no Ava Faith Luca here," She said, that's impossible maybe they change her name to hide her

I need to think, I suddenly remembered what Zendaya said when Ava Faith introduced herself when she diagnoses that have a schizophrenia

"I'm sorry I was wrong I looking for Sachi" I smiled at her

"Room 203 second floor ma`am," She said

I started to walk up the stairs; I think Sachi is Ava Faith Luca's avatar name. I can say that man behind this is quite smart. I got to room 203 when I opened it I saw a girl about my age sitting on the side of the bed while looking into the distance

"Ava Faith Luca.." I called her but she has no response at all, I took a deep breath then called her again but this time in I use another name

"Sachi, you finished the E.S.C.A.P.E a year ago. You're a beta tester right?" When I said that she seemed a little taken aback and turned to me
