Chapter 10 - The deal gone wrong

After re-using the dimensional door we were back in the hall of the castle but we had a plan.

Spamton was waiting on the other side of the door waiting for our signal. When the path would be secured, one of us would knock to the door to tell him he can pass. I decided to stay at the door as Gerson and the Knight were occupying the Queen and her friends.

Queen-"You are back?"

Gerson-"Yes and we found some info, may we talk to you along Swatch?"

Queen-"Let's talk in Swatch cafe, it just here, at the left of the stairs."

After the others entered in it, I knocked as Spamton came out of the door.

Player-"So where it is?"

Spamton-"UNDER THE RIGHT STAIRS. THE BOOKSHELF IS A [[Shortcut]]."

I pulled the biggest book as the shelf moved away, leading to a corridor of red carpet with a door at the opposite.

A special forcefield was blocking the way.

Spamton-"DON'T WORRY [[Kid]]. I HAVE THIS [[KeyGen]] TO MAKE THIS [[Ad-Blocker]] GONE."

Player-"Good luck in the basement."

Spamton-"I AM [[One ticket]] TO [[Winning]]. I WILL NOT [[Die]]. THANK YOU FOR YOUR [[Generisity]]."

Meanwhile in Swatch Cafe.

Angel-"So, we learned that this Spamton used to run a car business, but a man promised him a better life; which turned into a nightmare.

-He is full of hate toward its ancient colleagues. Was it common for him to speak of religious terms?"

Queen-"No. He always kept mumbling of being a big shot and money, nothing else.

-Question - Did you found the crystal?"

Gerson-"Cough. Yes, in some sort. He asked for a deal to give us those information and required another one against the crystal."

Swatch-"What kind of deal? Reassure me, you didn't accepted. Right? Right?!"

Gerson-"He wanted to get access to the basement. What is in it? We have to know."

Swatch-"The basement is where we lock away compromised data, objects or files. It acts like a quarantine.

-Currently, a machine that look like a body is discarded here along the associated floppy disk."

Gerson-"Machine?"

Swatch-"It has been made by a Lightner, filling it with hopes and dreams. The design was called NEO suit."

Angel-"N e o? Lightner? Gasp. Gerson stay with them. I must warn the Player. Keep the Tasque here too." The Tasque agreed, lying on the ground and falling asleep.

Queen-"Could he potentially put itself in?"

Swatch-"Spamton? He is a program like many addisons, he can. Sadly.

-I never thought I would speak of him again. Why did you helped him?"

Gerson-"Stay here little cat, it is dangerous out there. Well, to answer, we need that crystal so we had to play his game in some sort."

It has been some times and still no Spamton in the horizon.

Player-"That's it, I go in!"

I entered the basement with the door, it was an old dusty basement, the walls made of brown broken bricks and vents, the ground, dirt. A few pipes running on the ceiling.
