Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 177 The Search is Over

Chapter 177 The Search is Over

After they finished observing the two infected people, Alex and Glen left the place, carrying the two infected with them.

Alex turned his head to Glen with a complicated look on his face.

"Are you sure we can just bring them to your headquarters just like this, Mr. Glen?"

While moving, Glen tilted his head and asked, "What? Aren't we doing alright?"

Hearing that, Alex glanced at the swaying body of the male infected on Glen's shoulder and the female infected on his.

Alex sighed, giving up from even saying anything.

Right now, the two of them is silently running above the roofs of the houses around.

As Alex just said, their current destination is the CPS's headquarters.

In other words, the bookstore.

Alex and Glen both moved with haste and soon arrived at their destination.

Without hesitation, Glen stepped inside the bookstore.

However, instead of going to the isolated corner that Alex is familiar with, Glen went to the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Then he said, "Open the door."

The shopkeeper bowed lightly and moved to the side, letting Glen enter behind the counter.

Alex felt a bit confused by all of this and remained on the same spot, just staring at Glen.

Looking back at Alex with an eyebrow raised, Glen said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go, we need to bring them to the lab immediately."

"Ah, yes!"

Alex snapped out of his daze and immediately followed.

Once he got behind the counter, Alex saw that there's actually a new pathway on the floor, stairs that lead underground.

Without saying a word, Glen went ahead and walked down the stairs.

Curiously, Alex followed Glen down underground.

Unlike the other pathway where lights automatically open to brighten up the place once the entryway closes.

This path that leads underground only has small blue glowing lights that sticks to the wall, barely lighting up the way.

For normal people, it would be a little hard to walk down these stairs like this and could even cause an accident.

However, for players with supernatural powers like Glen and Alex, this is nothing at all.

Instead, Alex finds this place to be relaxing with this soft blue glow coming from the walls.

If Alex were to describe it.

'A fascinating place that is somehow filled with beauty for some unknown reason.'

For a moment, Alex can't help but think of his dungeon in Alter Dimension.

'Maybe I should also put a design like this in my dungeon.' he thought.

'Speaking of which, I've been neglecting my dungeons too much, huh.'

'Even though my class is called [Dungeon Master], I didn't act like one that much.'

With that thought running in his mind, Alex contemplated a few things until they reached the bottom of the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs, there is an automatic door just like the one in the malls, that opened when it detected Glen's presence.

Pssh!

Once the door opened, Alex saw a very busy space inside.

People wearing lab coats, conducting experiments or having a meeting were inside separate rooms of their own.

All of them were visible to Alex since each room only had glass walls.

Giving Alex a chance to see them work in their field.

Anyway, as they arrived at this place, Glen turned around and smiled at Alex.

"Welcome to the laboratory or CPS."

Alex curiously took a look at his surroundings, arousing his interest more and more.

Seeing that, Glen smiled, "So, what do you think about it?"

Alex didn't immediately reply before saying,

"I think it's great."

"Really, no one would expect that such an important and spacious place like this would be under a bookstore."

A proud smile crept up Glen's face.

"Right? Not to brag but, I was actually the one who planned and made all of this happen!"

…

Glen continued leading Alex around the laboratory until a familiar man wearing a lab coat came running towards them.

"Boss, why didn't you say anything when you came!"

"Oh, Luke, you're already here. Come and get these people."

Without even listening to Luke's words, Glen dumped the infected people on his shoulder as well as the one on Alex.

Luke stares dumbfoundedly at the struggling bodies that Glen placed in front of him.

"These… What the hell are these?"

Luke approached the body for a closer inspection.

In less than a minute, Luke immediately identified what's wrong with the people in front of him.

With a solemn face, he looked at Glen and asked, "Boss… are these people infected with the virus?"

Glen nodded without saying anything.

Luke's face immediately became grave.

This is because since there are already confirmed human victims, it is not far to have more of them out there in Pearl City.

If that's the case, a scene just like in zombie movies might occur in the city.

Just thinking of it already gives goosebumps to Luke.

Glen walked forward and placed a hand on Luke's shoulder, saying,

"There's nothing for you to worry about. I already sent Belle to exterminate all those rodents that Alex found infected with the virus."

"Taylor has also evacuated almost every person in the city, including your family."

At Glen's words, Luke's expression finally relaxed a little.

Seeing that, Glen said, "Don't worry, we will try to stop this threat from spreading and cause chaos."

Luke looked at Glen and nodded seriously.

"Thank you, Boss."

After that, Glen ordered Luke to take away the two infected people they brought and place them in isolated rooms.

Once they left, Glen led Alex towards his office.

Sitting behind the table, Glen pointed to a nearby chair and said, "Take a seat first, Alex."

Alex sat down and looked curiously at Glen.

As of now, Alex hasn't finished inspecting half of the city yet.

That's why he is actually feeling restless right now and wants to continue going around.

Glen should also know the importance of time right now.

Instead of being here, Alex should go around and look for more infected beings.

However, Glen brought him here in the headquarters instead of letting him go back to his detection job.

This made Alex confused.

That's why he looked at Glen with puzzled eyes.

Feeling the look on Alex's eyes, Glen said, "You don't have to continue searching. The job is already done."

For a moment, Alex couldn't understand his words.

"What do you mean 'finished'? I have only managed to go around half of the city, Mr. Glen!"

"That means there's still a lot of places that could be plagued with those infected rats or maybe more people who're also already tainted by the virus!"

Feeling Alex's agitation, Glen calmly said, "Calm down first, Alex."

Then he said, "Have you already forgotten? You're not the only one conducting a search throughout the city."

Hearing that, Alex paused and came to a realization.

That's right.

Before he even started the search, Glen had already ordered Belle to do it.

You have to remember that Belle is not alone. She has a team of her own that are all very skilled in detection skills.

Even though it might not be on par with Alex's [Tracker's Soul Searching] which is an S-rank skill, they should not fall that far behind.

They must have at least a B-rank or even an A-rank detection skill for them to be a part of CPS.

Anyway, after understanding that, Alex finally calmed down.

He sat on the chair obediently and looked at Glen, as if waiting for him to say something.

After a while, Glen put his attention on Alex and said,

"Alex, let me ask you something."

Nodding, Alex replied, "Ask ahead, Mr. Glen."

Sorting out his thoughts, Glen put on a serious look and said, "Alex, I hope you don't mind me asking this. What is your class?"

As Glen dropped his question, the air inside the office seemed to have suddenly stayed still for a brief moment before resuming to normal.

Alex stared at Glen, not saying anything.

Glen is also doing the same, his eyes remaining on Alex intently.

After a few seconds, Glen finally sighed and said, "My bad, forget that I asked such a question, Alex."

"That was very rude of me."

However, Alex didn't respond to his words.

He just continued looking at Glen, as if he was contemplating a few things.

Glen thought that Alex got offended by his question and wanted to apologize.

But just as he's about to do so, Alex opened his mouth first.

"My class is… something that I cannot disclose for now because of some private reasons."

Hearing that, Glen wasn't disappointed as he already expected such words to come out of Alex.

But the following words of Alex made Glen's eyes lit up!
