Chris was startled by the sudden offer, after all in this world he was just a random man in poverty, sure his situation wasn't as bad as people in actual poverty, but it was still down there in the dumps that was for sure.
'Why then...why offer me to join?'
He hadn't had anything go right for him in both worlds, except for meeting his friends that is, but he was resolute he knew that Arthur and Kevin would have already joined, Nick and Zack seemed to be thinking about it, but he knew... knew that if he didn't choose now then he would be left in the dust, so he made a choice.
"I accept... i will join the Mystery Seekers"
And he did make a choice, one that he hopefully wouldn't regret.
Seeing his sudden desiciveness, both Nick and Zack were shocked.
"I guess i'll join too then"
"Me too"
That was their replies respectively.
Just then two figure walked in, they were Kevin and Arthur!
"Well then welcome to the civilian staff of the Mystery Seekers of the center chester county" Kevin welcomed them in a warm tone.
"Welcome" Arthur just said one word.
"Now these two have only joined one day ago, but they know enough to welcome you.. all the other civilian staff were killed in a certain incident sometime ago" their captain Leah gave an explanation.
She soon left leaving only the five of them in the room.
Suddenly Chris heard Kevin's voice in his head.
'Don't panic.. i am using the gray fog thingy to transmit thoughts to you guys, just try to do so with your thoughts'
And almost instantly he heard Zack's voice reverbrate through his mind, 'so you found out how to use it didn't you?'
And then a reply 'i sure did'
Then Kevin spoke " basically we are supposed to say a lot of things about the rules, regulations and stuff but that's boring and takes time, so.. you figure that out on your own"
Then Arthur's voice could be heard ' here is a compiled message of all the rules and regulations'
And then Chris felt something within his mind, waiting to be unpacked.. as soon as he commanded the gray fog to open it, information regarding rules appeared.
'Huh?' He thought aloud.
'It works like a message system but connectibg only us five mentally' Zack deduced.
'Yep' Arthur confirmed it for him.
"Now then there are some things to be talked about" Kevin said in the real world and proceeded to talk about some secret organizations and etc.
'Wow... this is amazing... does it have a range limit' Chris transferred his thoughts.
'I doubt it.. but still a freaking chat group as a tranmigration cheat seems... well underwhelming and... preety useless' Nick sent a 'message'.
'Be happy we can atleast talk without having to be afraid of being caught' Arthur said in a mocking tone.
They continued like this until Kevin was done, and they were instructed to return to the dorms for the time being.
After getting into the carriage the five of them were silent to ensure to not reveal that they know eachother, and besides they could chat in their minds.
He saw a man reading the newspaper and saw that the date was 14th august.
Then he looked out to see a man walking among the crowd, normally a man among the crowd wouldn't have caught his attention, well the crowd was a crowd of men afterall, however this particular man did, he seemed familiar... as he remembered Chris's eyes widened.
This man was the man Chris saw on the night he was murdered.
Before he could send a message to the others however the man spotted him and began to run.
