Day Nineteen...
~~*****~~
Since Nathan grounded her, Abigail had no choice but to stay at ho. She spent most of her ti playing with Ethan. The young boy missed her so much, so he didn't leave her side for the whole day.
Abigail, on the other hand, was trying to ease her boredom. She was waiting for Nathan to summon her as he ntioned yesterday that they would et Jun Shen today.
Abigail stayed in Ethan's playroom once again, just like what she did yesterday. The two were having bonding ti together with Powy and Riemc.
The two robots could only watch Abigail and Ethan as they played an online ga. Ethan let Abigail borrow one of his laptops while the young boy used his desktop.
The online ga they were playing was the 'Battle Camp'. This was the new version of the online ga Nathan was used to playing a long ti ago– Mission XXX.
SYP Twilight Corp developed this new program, enhancing the online ga Mission XXX. This was also Nathan's way of preserving the mories he had with Monica when they were still playing buddies– SizzlingAugust08 and Shining_Star.
Nathan was one of the ga developers who enhanced this program. And it sold a lot in the market. Aside from producing high technologies and new inventions, SYP Twilight Corp also focused on developing and designing online gas.
The SYP Twilight Corp was currently working on an important project called Virtual World: Global Battlefield. Ethan was helping Nathan in testing the features of the gas. It was still in an early stage.
Nathan was planning to restore the characters of SizzlingAugust08 and Shining Star in Mission XXX, incorporating them into this Virtual World: Global Battlefield. He planned to launch this ga on the third year anniversary of Monica's death, commorating her. He even included Phantomflake as a character villain in the online virtual ga.
,m As Abigail opened the laptop, she noticed the old app of Mission XXX on Ethan's laptop. She was put in a trance for several seconds. She had conflicting emotions as this app brought mories from the past. She felt nostalgic.
Abigail's strange reaction caught Ethan's attention. So he followed her line of sight. Then he found out that Abigail was looking at the older version of Battle Camp which was known as Mission XXX.
"Miss Abi, do you know how to play this ga?" Ethan asked her. His question brought her back to the present.
Abigail smiled faintly and nodded her head. "Yes. I used to play this ga during my teen years..."
"Do you want us to play this ga today? This is the old version... I an the original version of Battle Camp!" Ethan excitedly said. He once played this ga together with his father, Nathan.
Sotis, he would catch his father playing this ga during his free ti. Ethan had observed that playing this ga was one way of relieving his father's stress.
"What role do you like to play in Mission XXX?" Ethan asked her innocently. Both of them clicked the app. Ethan used the computer desktop while Abigail used the laptop.
"I like playing the assassin role. How about you?" Abigail asked him back.
"I like being the Hitman!" Ethan said as he used the sa character his Dad was using before.
Abigail fell silent for a mont as she was reminded of soone. Then a small smile crept up from the corners of her lips. 'A hitman... I knew soone who played as the strongest hitman on this server...'
"What is your player ID? I will add you," Abigail took a peek at Ethan's desktop screen.
Ethan didn't use his father's ID this ti. He made his own player ID nad Tegesu.
"Tegesu!" Ethan proudly said.
Abigail could only smile at his remarks. He seed so excited to play this ga and complete a mission together with her.
"How about you, Miss Abi? What player ID did you use?" Ethan also leaned to her side, checking her monitor.
"Cliste, that's my player ID. I chose a female assassin!" Abigail created a new account and she nad it Cliste.
"Wow! Add as your friend and ally!" Ethan cheerfully said, his eyes sparkling with excitent.
He was glad that Abigail also liked to play online gas. He often competes with his Dad. But since Nathan had beco busy, he could no longer play with him more often.
"Ga on!" Ethan declared as the two created an alliance. They would do and accomplish missions together.
Before they started, Abigail and Ethan personalized and enhanced their characters by assigning weapons. Though Abigail used a new player ID, she equipped her character with the sa weapons she was using when she was still using her old account.
All her equipnt and weapons were similar to her old account. As she looked at her character, she couldn't help but smile. It had been so long since the last ti she played this ga. This ga reminded her of her old friend.
'If he is alive... I wonder if he is still playing online gas like this,' Abigail mumbled to herself.
Soon, Abigail and Ethan tried to complete missions together. They had to find the Mafia Boss and assassinate him. To accomplish this mission, they had to raid and infiltrate the Mafia's headquarters. Inside, they would face different challenges they should clear before facing off with the Mafia Boss and his elite n.
The Mafia Boss elite n were strong opponents with high HP. The two were so focused on clearing the challenges that they failed to notice that soone already entered the playroom.
Nathan ca inside to check on them. He had just arrived and was looking for Abigail when Butler Li inford him that she was with young master, Ethan.
From the outside, he could hear the sound of gunshots and the intense background music coming from the monitor and speaker. He could tell that the two were playing video gas.
He entered the room silently and traced his steps towards them. He stood behind them, watching them play. Nathan was surprised and stood frozen in his spot when his gaze fell on Abigail's laptop monitor.
'They are playing Mission XXX. That character... it looks familiar to ... and her moves... are similar to...'
