3 Game World (2/2)

”I see... Oh she's awake look!”

Jun overheard them talking while looking for the guard on duty. Naturally, he turned his head to look at the grandma.

She had lots of wrinkles in her forehead and her body was so thin. The employee who was tapping the grandma on her cheeks was now showing a wide smile.

While everyone was being merry, Jun saw the guard come down from the second floor. He had a robust body and the regular hair cuts that most guard has, a clean crew cut; just like Jun's hairstyle without the star-patterned design on the sides.

Jun explained the situation outside and the guard agreed to help.

”What do you think? Can we pull him out?”, Jun asked the guard as they stood beside the car.

”Let's talk to him first. Hi, I'm Pablo. What's your name?”, replied the guard.

”Jake, my name is Jake. Can you please help me? Please...”

”We'll get you out in no time. Just calm down and take deep breathes. Can you move your legs?”, Pablo asked which Jake eagerly answered.

”Yes! Yes, I can. But I can't feel my left leg...”, he started speaking cheerfully but his voice trailed off in the end.

”Okay! Let's just try it once. And we'll think of other options later if we really can't.”, Jun proposed impatiently. He was supposed to be mugging people right now. Wait... no, that's wrong. It should be earning money from side gigs. Yeah, that's right, that sounds better.

On their first attempt on pulling Jake out, he started shouting and cried for her mother. On the second try, he started wailing. On the third, he just sobbed with his hands covering his mouth, dry tears already on the sides of his eyes. They actually got him out on the fourth attempt which should have been a happy occasion but Jake was unconscious and his legs were a bit... Let's just say they don't look pretty.

Pablo actually wanted to stop on the second attempt and suggested that they should try something else but Jun insisted on just pulling him out. Simply because this is taking too much of his time!

They slowly put him down on the asphalt road. Pablo ripped the pants on the wounded section then started applying some first aid.

A moment later, a loud shriek came from the bank. Jun stood up and turned his head while Pablo just turned his head. He then hurriedly bandaged the wound and ran back to the bank.

Since Jun felt like he'd done a wonderful job of helping him. He decided to search the backseat, which took less than a second since there's nothing there. There's still the car trunk though. But before that, he first looked around and surveyed the surrounding.

It's still early in the morning and most of the major establishments in the area are closed. Only the entangled vehicles on the road and a few curious people were seen wandering outside. There were even some good-hearted ones that help with assisting injured individuals.

When he was sure that no one was paying attention. He crouched down and was going to search Jake's pockets when he noticed something floating from the bandaged wound.

It was a circular green-colored plus icon.

He became confused on what this floating sign is. Somehow, it seemed familiar. He got curious and tried grabbing it but his hand just passed through. He then tried tapping the icon but nothing happened.

When Jun rested his hand on top of the bandage, something finally happened. The green-cross expanded and a screen interface appeared. He removed his hands from the bandaged wound and the screen immediately disappeared, replaced by a floating green-cross.

”Wow... what the heck is this?”, Jun said in muffled breaths. 'So I'm actually not crazy. I'm not seeing strange things because these strange things are real. Like this pack of cigarette. It has a gray question mark icon on the middle of the pack.'

With his sanity proven, he placed his hand once again on top of the bandaged wound, and the screen appeared again. This time, Jun read what was written on the screen.
