The three boys continued to watch the video, which was being played on the huge screen in disbelief. For some reason, that one minute video felt like a three hour long movie. All Quinn wanted to do now was run up there and shut it off and erase everyone’s memory.
"Hey, Quinn, isn’t that..." Fex immediately had his hand grabbed over by Vorden and Quinn, who were standing by his side. The two boys then quickly dragged Fex out of the seats as they disappeared out of the crowd.
"Fex, are you crazy?" Vorden shouted in a soft but angry voice. Knowing that there could still be others around.
The video had now finally stopped playing, and the interviews carried on with other participants who had attempted the same method.
"No one knows it’s Quinn, and you were just about to reveal to everyone it was him."
The video blurred out Quinn’s head, making him unrecognizable. The only thing that could be seen was a blurred person wearing the school uniform. However, Vorden was concerned about whether someone could deblur the video, would they be able to see the face or not? Unfortunately, Vorden wasn’t the right person for things like this, and he wished he could speak to Logan right now and dim his curiosity.
Annoyed that he was suddenly dragged away, Fex stepped back a bit and brushed away some of the crumbs of food that had fallen all over him in a rush.
"What did you say, no one knows it was him, right? Well, I wouldn’t be so sure about that one. Because there were five other people with us at the time, who do know it was him." Fex said.
"I don’t think that’s a problem," Quinn replied. "This video seemed to have already spread, right? If they wanted to, they could have already told everyone. In a normal case, someone would be happy for this to happen. Perhaps there are already people coming forward, even claiming that they were the ones in the video. Zac probably thinks I will do the same and when I do try to discredit it and ruin my big moment."
"Still, just to be safe, I think we should go looking for them and try to clear their memories a bit." Fex suggested. "Let’s split and search for them. We should have done this yesterday, but I didn’t think such a small thing like this would become a big deal. Damn it! all we did was play a freaking game."
The boys agreed it was always better to be safe than sorry, and even if Quinn was right about his thoughts, there was a chance one could change their mind later on and this small mistake may bring up huge trouble for them.
"It’s best if we split up, we can cover more ground then and find them faster. Use the watch to send a message as soon as you see them." Vorden said.
The three boys quickly split and headed off into different sections as they searched for Zac and the others.
While this was all happening, the strange man that was seated next to them couldn’t help but find all of their actions odd. Everything changed as soon as the video started to play he noticed.
’Was one of them in the video?’ The man thought. Otherwise, it didn’t make sense based on the actions and what they were currently doing now.
’What an interesting bunch of kids.’ He thought as he chuckled to himself.
Just then, another older looking man approached him from the side. He wore regular plain clothing that didn’t make him stand out much. When gaining access to the area, the public, including the students who weren’t participating in any events, were told to hand over all of their beast equipment or leave them behind.
"Sir, the main events will start soon. They instructed me to bring you and the others to an appropriate place as soon as possible." The old man said, bowing down.
"Just when I thought I found something more fun to do." The man said as the two of them walked off.
Vorden was running about pretty recklessly; unlike yesterday, there were far too many people to check to see if they could find them. Other than Zac, many of them had pretty unmemorable faces as well. The first area Vorden decided to check where each of the screens nearby. At least then, he would be able to get someplace high and see from the top if he could spot anyone.
Looking around, Vorden was trying to see if there was anywhere high he could get a clear view from.
"Need any help?" A voice called over.
"Sam?" Vorden replied as he turned around.
The two boys quickly started exchanging information, and Vorden explained what was going on and the reason for the worried look on his face.
When he had arrived, Zac and his group were already there trying to get the original video file from the man. After listening in for a while, it turned out after the video was a big hit, the group tried to get video proof of what the person looked like or their name. freewebnøvel.com
