Gina followed Glitch's advice and used the adjacent wall as a propeller to get to the edge of the tall wall. She gathered momentum as she ran from a distance, she jumped, placed her two legs on the adjacent wall and pushed her body upwards, she even did a backflip in the air and landed smoothly on top of the wall.
" wow I did it.. " she squealed but instatly covered her mouth when she remembered that she was trying not to get caught.
Since coming down was easier that going up she was able to jump down from the wall stress free.
She looked around and noticed someone coming in her direction but the person had not seen her yet, she panicked for a second..
« you can activate stealth mode » Glitch said
— what is stealth mode — she asked Glitch telepathically
« stealth mode is a part of your skill set, it makes you invisible, so you can sneak around without being caught. While in steath mode you can also make you footsteps and voice inaudible»
— how do I activate it — she asked
« by holding your breath you can activate stealth mode »
— but that means I can only be in stealth mode for a short period—
« that is correct»
— at least it's better than nothing— she humphed
She brought out a scarf from her pocket and tied as a mask on her face, a little above her nose but below the eye
—this is so my identity remains a secret even if they find me —
She held her breath and started moving. She avoided the person who was coming in her direction. It turned out it was another big burly bodyguard in black.
She kept moving and looking around for anything suspicious. She occasionally found a hiding place to stay and catch her breath.
After some minutes of searching she finally saw a building which was protected by three more men.
— why are there so many bodyguards — she grumbled in inwardly
She hid in a secluded corner to catch her breath and plan her next step. Even though she had the stealth skill, she could not get in because they would notice if she tried opening the door.
— Glitch, do you have any idea on how I can get past those guards — she asked Glitch
« there is a skill that can get you past the guards »
— really, what is it— she asked excitedly
« the name of the skill is shadow spirit, it allows you to turn to a shadow spirit and pass through any solid object »
— wow so cool, can I us it —
« no you can't » Glitch said without hesitation
— what.. why — she asked a little perplexed
« that is a high class skill and you need to unlock it with points »
— what.. why didn't you say that in the first place.. anyways how man points do I need to unlock the skill — she asked dejectedly
« you will need a total of 100 points to unlock that skill »
— WHAT THE.....— she almost screened that out loudly
— why is it so expensive — she asked,she was severely shocked at the price for unlocking the skill. Although it sounded cool and could help a lot, it was still a little too expensive.
« sorry, that's the price »
— hmmph— she humphed.
— so there is no other helpful skill that is unlocked—
« there is a skill, it's called transmitter, but it does not literally help you get past the guards. The skill only lets you see and hear what is going on in there »
Glitch said
— but do I need points to unlock that skill— she asked
« no, this skill is free »
— fine I'll use it —she said unenthusiastically.
Glith activated transmitter, and the screen opened in front of Gina. It was a video show of what was happening inside the building that those men were guarding.
She saw a large table and two men sitting opposite each other.
" how is the plan holding up from your end Mr Walter " said the first man. He was dressed in a black suit and from the looks of it he was very wealthy.
" everything is going smoothly Mr Fern" said the second man
" but we will be needing a new batch of Valbaxium " Mr Walter added
" that won't be a problem, you'll receive a new batch in three days" Mr Fern added
" thanks Mr Fern"
" no problem, I'd do anything to make this plan a complete success " Mr Fern said with a determined look
The two parties had no idea that they were being monitored
— what plan are they talking about. Do you know any thing about it Glitch — she asked randomly
« as a matter of fact I do know what they're talking about » Glitch answered
— really... Please tell me —gina asked excitedly.
« sorry, but that information would cost 200 points » Glitch said flatly
— what... Then why did you tell me about it in the first place when you know very well that I can't afford it right now— Gina was fuming
— you're really starting to get annoying— she added with flared nostrils
« hahaha» Glitch laughed with a robotic voice
— your laugh is really freaking me out, I prefer your stotic robotic voice—
After she said that Glitch became completely silent.
Meanwhile...
Back in the building, Mr Fern and Mr Walter were now standing if front off a huge pile of stuffed animals.
" these stuffed animals will be packaged and sent to different orphanages and different charity events. " Mr Walter said
Mr Fern put on black rubber gloves and picked up one of the stuffed animals. He had a wicked grin on his face and anyone who saw him at that moment would instantly be able to tell that he had something bad planned.
" very good, soon I can rid this world of the worthless and useless people who only drag this economy down " Mr Fern said manically
" I have a vision of a world where every single person is useful to the growth of the economy, where everyone pitches in and no one is a dead weight or free loader. And to achieve that goal, I must get rid of all the draw backs. " he soliloquized after which , helet out a crazy laughter.
