Finally, you arrived at sixth street in New Eridu. It was.. quite lively, honestly. And loud. But hey, cities have always been loud, right?

Anyway, what was important right now was your mission. This mission you have in the hollows is very important, no room for failure. Exactly why you need to hire the best proxies you can get your hands on.. even if it would be very pricey.

You logged into your inter-knot account and checked the commission you set up earlier for inside the hollow. Not long after you put it up, Anonymouse (proxy's username) said they were up to the challenge.

Then, you DMed Anonymouse to list some details about the commission, including a date for an appointment. "Today, 6:00 PM, coff cafe. I'll be expecting you."

But since right now is still 3 in the afternoon, you decided to look around the city. During so, you just so happened to stumble upon a video store. You walked inside and got greeted by a bangboo, alongside the store's promoter.

Tapes after tapes, old and new. A very niche business, but it's definitely booming. But before you could lay another finger on the tapes, the door labeled "staff only" opened with a loud "CLACK".. Then, a young man stepped out and exited the store, perhaps to get some things done.

Something about that man.. you had a feeling this won't be the last time you see him. Well, you weren't going to bother with that and continued on with looking around the store.

...

Eventually, You left the store and headed to coff cafe. Without realizing it, the time was already 5 pm. You then took out your phone to check the latest news, nothing interesting, really.

You scrolled on your phone. Soon, an hour had passed.. wait, an hour?

You checked the time, and sure enough, it was 6 pm. So.. your proxy should be here soon, right?

...

"... So, You must be the commissioner?"

You heard someone say from behind you, and that startled you to death. You turned around, and.. wait, wasn't he that guy from the video store earlier?
