Systematic Survival

42 - Getting Help

'Am I dumb for not realizing she could just use it like normal?'

He watched her get annoyed trying to use it and quickly realized why.

"What's your phone password?"

He sighed and told her what it was. She looked excited that it finally worked, and she now had access to anything she wanted online.

"Ok, now stop playing with it. You need to hold up your end of the deal. Also, I'll need my phone back later."

She looked a bit angry but didn't say anything.

"Fine, I'll help you."

Matt smiled. He realized he was actually going to be able to learn things about the system now, And maybe it could help him escape the other player as well. Now he was thinking about all of the questions he had wanted to ask for a long time.

He thought for a second before asking a question he thought could help him get out of his bad situation.

"Did every player get the beta at the same time?"

She answered instantly.

"Yep. What else?"

She seemed to want to get back to browsing the web as fast as possible, so she gave a short answer. Matt didn't mind though, he just needed confirmation. The next answer he wanted to ask was a more irrelevant question.

"Who created you and the system?"

She had to think for a second as if she was accessing data.

"All I have here is it says I was created by the system, so I can't really tell."

Matt thought about that answer and realized that there was a more important question to ask.

"What information do you have access to?"

She blinked a few times before answering.

"I don't know. I only get access to info when you ask a question. I can't see it all at once."

Matt sighed.

'So that means she's just as in the dark as I am. I need to ask questions to get the info I need. Useful to know at least.'

He realized he was going to run out of time if he just kept asking questions, so he thought about what he really wanted to ask her.

"Can you help me live?"

She looked at him confused. It was a strange question but she realized something was wrong.

"Explain!"

He decided it would be best to start from the beginning.
