Jazz finally took sigh of relief as he finally have proof that he wasn't being delusional and he did got system in his hand cause it's proof was in his hand the space cube.
Jazz is pretty sure that this space cube isn't from their solar system as he and he's friends are into this stuff and they always check out new gadgets all the time that are available on their planet and solar system.
That's why he's pretty sure this isn't from their solar system.
'What was last thing system told me to do before it disappear.'
'It was something about consuming electricity or something."
Jazz remember system told him to consume electricity with certain amount of volts but doing that would be trouble some as government keep the records of how much electricity one house hold consumed monthly and something out of place appears in record they would go and check out the issue.
So, consuming electricity at home is absolute no can't have them or anyone from government here but from outside is another topic.
He and he's friends used to play in woods before and one time they accidentally found centuries old abandoned factory and they didn't told anyone about it as keepong as their secret base for their group though none of his friends know this except for him that there's hidden underground storage room inside old factory field with old batteries that might turns out to be helpful to him.
Jazz look at the clock hanging on the wall time is at 2:22 AM he would be back before morning as its still early to be morning and it's the best time for him to go out and return before morning sun rise above in sky.
'Fuck, I hope I don't regret this.' Jazz thought to himself with helpless expression but soon it was replaced with excited expression with eyes burning with dazzling light as he isn't just normal side character I. Novel but the MC as only MC have right to get system.
Jazz took his black hoodie with black jeans and torch light from his table and jumped out of the window with smile full of excitement but that didn't last much as he jumped from 1st floor to concrete ground below.
Just as his feet touch the concrete shockwave sent to his brain from his feet.
"Ooowwhcch" Jazz let out scream as as it really hurts then he realise that he still in his home background can't awaken his sister or this snitch neighbours.
Jazz look around to see if anyone is still looking at him or the surveillance drone on the sky as nothing more scary than damn noise neighbours and the bitchy government who wants to know every damn details about you.
After seeing that everything is safe Jazz start to walk towards the backyard wall, even though it's called wall it doesn't feels like one as one can simply jumped over and enter inside the private property as it government standards wall for all citizens except for politicians, rich businessman and famous artists and if you are not in above three.
You have no-choice or free will to do anything on your private property without government permission.
Ohh, back to main topic. Jazz is bare feeted without his shoes as that were placed downstairs but he couldn't risk awaking his sister.
So, now he has to nothing wear he look around the backyard and found the flip flops that usually no-one wears but it still in no-one throw them out.
"This flops are really worn out and quite old and isn't comfortable but this will do the work." One can't complain about their situation, if they have no other option left jazz thought to himself.
Jazz look at the 5 feet tall wall and place his top of it and simple jumped over it in single try as any normal person or child can do it without difficulties.
Jazz feet land on soft grass below his feet. Jazz look at the wild grass and wild flowers growing and blooming here in night and beyond that is darkness of the woods.
This woods has many urban legends but none of that he ever experienced in his life but that's what urban legends is all about.
Jazz pull out the small torch from his jeans pocket and turned it on and taking torch light as his guide he starts to walk towards the woods.
It has been over the months since he and his friends has been here, it really dense forests from outside but once you enter inside you will find less trees.
'Damn, its been a six months and half of the trees has cut illegal.' To protect environment government has ban cutting the trees without permission and there's ban on deforestation as most of the forest has become cities or villages on planet.
Jazz keep moving following the path in his mind but after walking and running for 30 minutes he realised that he lost the path to abandoned factory he knew.
"Fuck, how did I lost the track. When I spend my whole child playing and roaming around here." Jazz look around and cursed his memories for making such mistake.
Jazz narrow his eyes and look around his surroundings and saw the less tree and realisation suddenly hit him, "Its because of the tress that I lost the path as I always take the trees for direction now some of them are no longer their."
"I followed the wrong one, damn it." Jazz said with irritation on his face.
Jazz closed his eyes to make his head calm down cause getting angry now won't help, as calm his mind he heard the faint sound coming from the east direction.
"What's that sounds, is it the sound of stream?" Jazz opened his eyes and look towards the direction he heard the sound.
In east direction is river with many of its small stream spread out in forest.
"Damn, I walked in completely off mark can't blame lumberjack for illegally cutting downs the tree if I can't even remember direction anymore."
"Small stream also goes to the direction of abandoned factory center, I just have to follow stream and I won't get lost."
Jazz start to walk towards the sound of stream he heard as closer he gets louder the sound become and more green vegetation appear that didn't get harmed by the humans yet.
Night blooming jasmine are growing in abundant around the streams the sky is dark without any stars only moon shining alone in dark night.
After following the stream path for minutes Jazz heard the sound of rustling in bush ahead.
'What's that sound there isn't wild animals around this part of the forest or it might be some small animal.'
Jazz ignore the sound as he thought it might be some small animal but after few seconds later sound of leaf rustling become louder along with foot of steps of human.
'That sound like human foot steps from sound of it there's seem to be more than one person.'
'Should I ignore them and continue walking or take look who they are?' Without doubt Jazz was curious about who this might be but he doesn't want to take any risk.
Its most likely lumberjack here to cut down trees illegally or it might forest ranger on his night duties but that's not he's problem as the there's saying goes by curiosity killed the cat.
He doesn't want any trouble as he had bad experience in morning when decide to go to other city.
Jazz ignore the sound of foot steps and stood at where he was untill he was sure the sound of foot steps no longer there.
"Fwhhh, now its safe."
"Whoever is walking around at night in woods isn't someone in right mind." Jazz wiped off the sweat from his forehead with his hand as he didn't had good feeling about it but now the group must have been moved further away in forest.
Jazz took deep breath in relief and took a one step forward with smile on his face but that smile didn't last long on his face as it disappeared just as it appeared.
"I also think the same thing kid."
Deep harsh mid age man voice sounded behind his back Jazz didn't even hear the sound of foot steps approaching him from behind.
Before Jazz could turned around and look at who this voice belong too, he heard sharp explosive crack sound and then sharp pain instantly reached his brain.
Jazz tried to screamed out in pain but the pain was so sudden that he couldn't even scream only let out empty scream, he neck turned red from whip attack and Jazz was pulled behind like a animal with whip force.
Jazz fall to the ground, the fresh smell of night blooming jasmine hit his nostrils with fresh soft moisture of the soil.
Jazz start grasping for the air as it hard to breathe when whip thong is tightly wrapped around his neck but his struggle was in vain.
Jazz hold the thong that's wrapped his neck with his both hands tried to remove it but seeing his struggle only laughter was heard behind him.
"Hahaha"
"Its useless."
That's the last thing Jazz heard as whip around his thong changed its dark metallic colour to blue lighting colour as electricity run down on thong,fall and cracker instantly as the man press the small button on whip handle.
Jazz couldn't even scream in pain from sudden high voltage shock from whip his whole body start shaking and rolling around the like dying fish on ground, the thing he saw before losing his consciousness was blurry moon in the sky.
