《Meta Human》Chapter 17: robbery
Advertisement
"Hello" Ruff greeted on the other line.
"Has Alex been with you?"
"Yes, he has."
Henry put down his phone and nodded at Alex.
"There's food in the kitchen," he said.
Alex wasted no time and went to the kitchen immediately.
"Why do they have to be such control freaks." Alex breathed a sigh of relief.
He went to his room after having his dinner and slept immediately.
Hudson stood in front of clones lined up.
They wore serious faces as if they had no emotions.
"There's a shipment of tachium tonight. I want it," he said and the clones nodded and left the premises.
Alex woke up early the next morning and did his routine.
His bracelet flushed as he organized his collar.
A screen display on his arm.
Mutation: telepathy level 1
And a blue upward arrow showed on the number 1.
He turned off the bracelet and grabbed his backpack then went to school immediately.
Alex sat at his new assigned desk flipping through page pages in his textbook.
A student who was seated to his right kept throwing a surprised look whenever Alex flipped to the next page.
"I bet he hasn't understood anything." he thought to himself.
Alex smiled when he heard his thoughts but ignored them.
After another minute, Alex was done with the book and he closed it.
He lazily tapped his pencil on the desk as he waited for prep time to end.
After 20 minutes, the bell rang and everyone exited the classrooms to store away the book they were reading in their lockers.
The latter came back to class and found the examiner already standing at the front of the class.
He gave everyone the papers and the examinations commenced.
Alex finished half an hour earlier than the rest of the class as usual and sat lazily at his desk.

"Times up." The examiner said and the students handed in their papers.
Alex stood at his locker picking the textbook of the subject they wet doing next.
As he turned to leave, someone bumped into him and the book fell.
"Oh sorry." She bent down to pick up Alex's book.
She tacked the black silky hair falling over her eyes behind her ear as she stood up.
Her appearance was unique in Alex's school.
She wore a black leather jacket that matched her black trousers.
She wore black lipstick.
It made her look like a demon was that just crawled out of the depths of hell.
"Thank you," Alex said taking the book in her hands.
Her eyes flashed red and back to their normal color, brown.
Then she walked to her class.
Alex didn't know if what he saw was real or not because it all happened so fast.
He turned to look at her leave.
He shrugged it off and went to class to flip through his book.
The exams ended later at 4 pm and everyone went back home.
Alex tossed his backpack on the couch.
He sat down and picked the remote on the table in front of him and turned on the TV.
"Mysterious happenings have been taking place lately. From money suddenly disappearing from the bank with no trace to a person melt to water. What could be the cause?" a news anchor said on TV.
Alex watched on carefully.
"And... Oh... An incoming call from Jeff." and immediately the screen behind the TV anchor displayed a reporter standing outside the bank, "So Jeff can you tell us what is going on there."
The red and blue lights from the police vehicles illuminated the news reporter's face.
"Am standing outside City Bank right now where a robbery is taking place.

An armed man is inside right now and has held people hostage. The police are trying whatever they can to solve this problem."
The new anchor lifted his arm above his face to avoid the gushing wind that suddenly blew in his direction.
The sensors of the vehicles parked around went off and they started making noise.
A man in a black and blue suit covering his face down to his feet suddenly stood at the entrance of the bank.
Blue sparks ignited from his body.
He then disappeared from the entrance and was now on the bank where the employees were lying in the ground with their arms above their heads.
A man in a black mask stood at the counterpointing his submachine gun at the cashier.
"Hurry," he said without a worry like as if he didn't know the police were outside.
The cashier behind the counter trembled as she loaded the black back with money.
The masked man turned around when he felt a gust of wind hit his back.
"Good to see you again." he spread both his arms wide still holding the gun in his right hand and took two steps forward.
Alex could only see the far as the camera saw through the glass walls of the bank. He leaned closer to the TV.
But all he could see were two figures standing face to face with each other.
He recognized the figure blazing with blue sparks; "Uncle Ruff?" he asked himself.
In the bank, Ruff sparked even more and his eyes glowed bluer.
The masked man seeing this said, "Your fast. But you can't stop me." he then laughed wickedly.
Ruff disappeared but then suddenly, a green force field appeared around the masked man, and immediately, Ruff was sent flying landing on the wall with a thud.
The masked man smiled seeing Ruff like that.
Although he was wearing a mask, someone could see when he was smiling by the crow's feet that formed on his eyes.
"I told you... You can't stop me." he turned to the cashier and stretched out his free hand for the black bag filled to the brim with cash; "I'll take my leave now." he said then walked towards the glass door while whistling.
"Three." said Ruff standing up on his feet, "Two."
The masked man turned to look at him when he heard him count down.
He immediately knew something wasn't right and immediately activated a force field.
"One."

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
