Chapter 29 - Worry

The sun slowly rose up, and alarms rang together at the same time.

A groan echod from a bed, then a pillow flew towards the poor alarm, silencing it. Lyn dragged herself out from the bed, with her eyes still closed. Like a zombie she walked in the bathroom. After washing her face with cold water, she felt more awake.

She was feeling sleepy, all because yesterday she ended up sleeping later.

Soon she was ready to attend her classes.

A blue haired guy was leaning on a pillar, waiting for something. Then two figures walked there. They were Lyn and Esm.

" Morning Lyn ", she turned her head towards the direction of the voice. " Morning Adeus, why are you here ? ". He smiled, quickly explained the reason.

All the public structures had increased the level of security. The cause was a big issue. A cyber attack was launched on a lab's archive, and an important file was stolen. There were some rumors on it, some were saying that the content was a truth that couldn't see the light, some, instead, were saying that it was an advanced discovery.

So tight surveillance was spread everywhere.

Deu walked Lyn to her classroom then left. Esm immediately tugged at her friend, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, " hey hey hey, It seems like that you have an admirer, don't you ? ", " ufff, Esm ", while replying, she rolled her eyes. Then she knocked on her head, " I know that your family is trying to get you engaged, with those dates. So don't drag me in, okay ?! ".

Esm laughed aloud, " ok, ok ". She smiled at her, thinking that she was so lucky. Her parents cared a lot for her, but her own were so cold and demanding. Her mother said that she had to be perfect, her emotions had to be on point in each situation. She shook her head, sighing inwardly.

Lyn pulled her in, going to their usual seats, Lex was already here, but Dev wasn't. Lyn sent a message to him. His absence was quite unusual. The reply didn't come. She wanted to ask something to her deskmate, but the teacher walked in. The lesson started.

Still she kept glancing at her screen, feeling a bit worried.

In a sector huge flying devices landed, while cars swarmed in the sky and in the streets. Soon silver uniforms surrounded all the houses. A crowd was already gathered here. Their attention was caught by these grand movements, they all glanced at the silverish corps. A voice suddenly asked, " why have the security corps come here ? ".

The leading man didn't even bother to answer, he just waved his hand. Metallic canes were thrown out. As a hissing sound was heard from them, a mask slid down on the corps's faces.

The one who spoke up before, collapsed on the floor followed by others. " Search ", an order was given out. Immediately map-like devices were taken out. They walked and swiped it on each person, not missing a single one.

They had two objectives, first take away the suspicious one and second catch those who were involved in the " Project ".

As the screen beeped on a person, they grabbed it and dragged it to the nearest truck. For those who put up resistance, they were killed mercilessly.

The same things were happening everywhere in the section's other buildings.

" Let's go, there's nothing left to do here ".

While they were walking, screams rang out, " Murder, murder ! ".

" Captain ", " Same method as before ". Soon those small cans were thrown out again.

" Tsk, we clearly used many of them before, but they keep coming like insects ", complained a member.

A notification rang on a wrist-screen. " Student Evenson ! Your device it's confiscated ! ", the teacher walked forward and took her device away. Lyn narrowed her gaze. How annoying she didn't even have a proper glance, to know who was the sender.

Inside a dark room, a figure was hugging his knees, a pair of vacant eyes were focused on the floor.

On a table a screen wrist was flashing, but it didn't attract his owner's attention.

Inside the person's mind memories kept replaying themselfs.

A family of four were having a warm meal together, two parents putting food on their childs plates. The childs were chattering happily, while stealing food from each other. But suddenly the memory stopped, switching to another scene. The two adults were talking with a serious tone with the older boy while the younger was peeking hidden behind the door. Then the scenery switched again, now he was in front of his parents, they seemed to smile, they rubbed his head and hugged him and his brother, then left. When he saw them walking away, a huge pressure paralyzed, he couldn't move nor speak. He felt suffocated, a single tear rolled down on his cheek.

Then the scene shattered, now he was in a black, gray and white place. His body was kneeling in front of a memorial, to be exact, two. His purplish eyes tried to look at those faces, but no matter how hard he tried, he still saw a foggy outline.

In all those scenes, he never saw those faces clearly. His gaze was completely empty.

" Ah… young master.. his mind relapsed… this never happened since the old master and mistress's deaths ". He shook his head while trying to guess a solution. At first he thought to contact the older master, but there was none response.
