Chapter 253: Liberty (1/2)
Two dozen policemen disappeared in the next moment and Clark was also gone along with their departure.
”I need to find out what happened.” Amber moved in action but not before a girl friend from behind called her attention.
”AMBER! You need to see this!” This was one of Amber's best friends and a part of their party from the beforehand dungeon diving also.
”What is it, Lucy?” Amber asked. She got handed a phone to answer her queries and what she found in there had cleared the confusion on her mind. It was a video recording.
The scene even topped the number 1 trending on youtube and the actors inside were of course pretty familiar in Amber's eyes. In fact, she was also included in that particular clip.
”I need to go.” Amber muttered and quickly ran out of the arena. There was a ruckus of whispers and gossip that followed her but she was deaf to it all.
What mattered most right now was to be there for her boyfriend in these very trying times.

”What seems to be the problem, Officer? I have done nothing wrong to deserve this kind of treatment at all!”
Clark complained when he was put in an interrogation room in the police headquarters. He was detained here and the questions began to pour left and right.
Our bored gamer was too proud to call an attorney to aid him at this time. He knew that no matter what the consequence of tonight, he could get away anytime he wished to do so.
And so just like always, Clark chose to play and enjoy every moment of his life. Even this sticky situation could be considered a whole new experience for someone like our good gamer.
”Where were you on the night of December 9th of last year?” A male detective asked on the side. He was good and he kept on evading our very own protagonist's queries.
”I was home. Sleeping.” Clark shrugged in nonchalance.
”Do you know a woman named Alexis Anderson?” Another detective inquired. This time it was a female. The two cops really made a great duo against our bored gamer.
”It's the first time i heard of such a name. I could be wrong but I really can't remember any Alexis in my life.” Our avid gamer lied with a straight face.
Alas, he knew that concrete evidence would slap his face very soon now.
”You are a great liar. Don't you know that, Clark?” The lady detective smirked in victory and murmured something that only she could hear.
”BLINK!” Another moment and a holographic screen was presented before the trio. This was no doubt one of the fruits of alien technology from the dungeons and a very advanced one at that.
It could freely manifest any vision or picture unto any place in this world. This was surely some next level stuff that had produced a whole lot of uses unto many sectors of society.
”...” The screen played and it was one which was very familiar with our bored gamer. In fact, he was a part of that particular screen play.
He was seen lying down on the bed with a sleeping Amber beside him and directly in front was of course a levitating Alexis in his room.
The view changed abruptly and it could be seen that Alexis was free falling from the sky at such an unbelievable speed.
There was a brief shadow of a bowed old man overhead before everything ended in an empty screen.
”What can you say now, Mister Colter?” The male detective prodded smugly. At normal times, he would have been shivering in fear in front of our bored gamer.
But when he got information and saw for himself that the Supernatural Management Agency had sent their A Team in the background, this detective's worries vanished in thin air.
