Parjo’s face really looks so clueless. Now he feels so stupid to disguise as a soldier from the national army. It gives him the impression of an amateur for not knowing that situation.Prof. Irwan also looks confused with Mike’s joke. But he admits that the possibility for a coup could just arise given the current circumstance.Mike unbuttons his suit, and pulls the left part of the lapel while putting his left hand into his cross pocket. He deliberately shows off the gun in his waistcoat.“You really have no idea what is happening out there, huh? The one who hired you must be stupid.”Parjo can identify the gun under Mike’s suit could be a micro Uzi, the type of full automatic pistol in the size of a handgun.It’s the type of gun which is able to launch 15 bullets per second. And it's rare for someone to carry such a gun around, unless he intends to have a war. That kind of gun is not simply for safety.“You’re correct!” says Parjo. “We are not soldiers from the national army. So, wh
Irwan tries to persuade Arifin. But after he sees Tony rushing to Arifin to support him walking, that’s when he realizes that Arifin might have been badly injured.“He broke some tissues in his calf muscle,” Mike informs as he takes a seat on the sofa. “I don’t think there’s any hospital that can fix such an injury at the moment.”That’s when Prof. Irwan remembers about Grace’s unique ability. He immediately tells Arifin that he still can be healed.“Arifin! Didn’t you say that Grace’s blood can fix even an injured muscle tissue?”“Hey! What are you talking about?” asks Mike.“Please, Professor!” Tony interferes. “He will be completely healed by late afternoon. But his injury has nothing to do with this. You should know how bad they’ve treated him so far.”“Oi, oi!” Mike interrupts again. “What are you guys talking about? How are you so sure such kind of injury could be healed by late afternoon?”Arifin stops for a moment at the door of his room. “I know the people in the evacuation c
One of the guards opens a room next door, and puts Grace in there. The room is hermetically sealed, with only one vent and one exhaust fan.Grace examines her surroundings and finds one camera on one corner of the room.“Is there any reason to detain me here?” she asks.“We just can’t let you join the others for now, at least until we know for sure about your situation.“You know I’m normal. Why don’t you just let me go?”“Don’t think we are stupid. We know you are hiding something from us,” says that female officer before she leaves and locks the door.Grace stays quiet for a while. After believing those people are already leaving her quite far, she tries to start a communication with the girl next door.“Hello! How long have you been there?”But Andini doesn’t answer her.There are rats placed in several cages near the door where Andini is detained. Most of the rats look dead.Meanwhile, there is one rat that was just put in the room this morning. It looks like it is in a drunk stat
She pulls the man away from her bed, and then talks toward the surveillance camera, telling them to take that body out of that room.Meanwhile, Grace is still trying to understand what’s happening in the next door. It’s already more than 10 minutes, but she hasn’t heard that man’s voice anymore.“Hello! Are you okay?”She tries to invite Andini to talk once more, but doesn’t get any answer. Not long after that, she notices the coming of two men walking toward the next door.She rushes to the door and starts knocking on it to attract those two men’s attention. But soon she finds those two men dragging a dead body.She is aghast, and falls to the back. After waiting for a few moments for those two men to leave, she tries to talk to Andini again.“Hey, are you okay?”….“What has happened? Please, answer me! What are they trying to do to you?”“He’s dead!” replies Andini.“What?”“She tried to rape me, so I killed him. You better stop talking before I kill you too!”Elsewhere, the other
Watrijon, and all the people that came from Andalas University, know quite well about this. They have witnessed it themselves, how the society treated Arifin so far. Now they really start thinking about their option of going back to society where they come from. “Are you believing his words?” asks Jaka. “He might have just said the truth,” replies Watt. “Remember again, Arifin never had any concern when those people tried to take us yesterday.” “What do you mean? Need me to remind you how he massacred those fake soldiers?” “He only did it when they tried to take his friend, that girl who can control her blood. But before that incident, he didn’t show any concern at all.” Watrijon turns around for a moment to take a better look at all the people in that gym. He almost forgot about Grace. He believes that Grace came with him and the others to this concentration camp this morning. A moment later, four people come to them, including Rizal and Bayu. Of all the people brought from And
Twenty four hours have passed since the last time Arifin consumed a blood crystal. He immediately consumes another one to treat his injury. It leaves him with only two blood crystals left.There will only be less than two hours before the sunset, and he hasn't done his daily quests at all. But that kind of training regime isn’t an issue for him anymore. He just leaves the house and starts running slowly as a warm up.It shocks Mike a bit, to find Arifin has really been recovered just like what Tony said. Another five minutes or so, Mike sees Arifin coming back from the other direction after he has done one lap of running around the housing complex.“Hey, what about your injury?” he asks as Arifin passes him.“All healed,” replies Arifin shortly.“Damn!” Mike rubs his head as he keeps looking at Arifin from behind. “Does that mean he also has a high healing factor?”“Nope!” Tony suddenly appears from behind, and starts doing some stretching. “He is still a normal human in that aspect.”
Tony stops for a moment to hear Arifin’s last words. But then he just smiles with a silly expression, and waves his hand once before turning away.He heads to the front yard to find something that he can do. That’s when he finds Minda coming over to Arifin’s house. And he knows so sure, she is here to look for Arifin.“Um, hello!” Minda greets him by bowing his head slightly.“Hey, you don’t need to greet me this way anymore. I’m no longer the senior who is going to bully you. If you are looking for Arifin, he is in the backyard.”Minda replies to him with a smile, still nodding his head a bit as she walks past him. But then she suddenly stops and turns back, because she feels like she hears Tony saying something albeit not clearly.“Yes?” she asks.“What? Did I say something?” asks Tony with his ignorant face.“Ah, no! It’s nothing,” replies Minda.She looks down again as a way to hide her face, and immediately takes her leaves. She believes she heard Tony saying something just now.
Tony scrunches his face, looking so unhappy with what Arifin said to him. “Did you think I’m someone who likes having dirty thoughts?” He then averts his attention to Minda, and brings his face with so much suspicion, like a prosecutor trying to expose the guilt of a criminal. “Minda! Did you really read his mind just now?” “No, I didn’t do it!” “But you did hear things that I just thought,” Arifin refutes Minda is silent for a moment. But then she just shakes her head by scrunching her face like she is holding her cries. “Are you stupid? Thinking that I’m able to read others' minds? I’m not a freak!” “No, you must be in denial,” says Tony. “Minda, listen!” Arifin approaches her again. “I’m not blaming you if you are able to read my mind. I just want to make sure. Now try it again! Try to guess what number I’m thinking right now.” But Minda just shakes her head, no longer hears weird things like before. She just holds her head, and then starts crying. “This is not what I’m co
Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being
Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t
Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a
He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his
Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su
Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now. But those creatures have been stealing his life force every time he tries to hit them.There are some balloons made of viscous membrane popping out on that throbbing flesh. It then explodes like pus of
The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them. But that kris can. All you need to do is stab the kris to the ground, and tell the kris what you tru
Arifin looks so confused, mixed with desperation which starts to resurface in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dr. Cohen is just observing from above, grinning devilishly as he controls Andini’s mind and body.Oddly enough, the other four beast-type awakened soldiers are trying to make the dedemits busy with them, and prevent them from getting close to Arifin. But Javier, as he finds an opening with Arifin is still occupied by Andini’s oddity, slams Arifin’s from the side with his shoulder.>That last collision has left some cracks on two of Arifin’s ribs. He coughs up blood, and his physical condition is also dropping to 14 %.Dr. Cohen flies lower and starts persuading Arifin once more. It’s clear he really has great interest in Arifin and doesn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t care that much that all the facilities that Defiance Atlantis built for him in this place are destroyed, as long as he gets Arifin to join him.“Why? Why Arifin, why? Yo
Four floodlights have also fallen due to the chaos created by these unstoppable demons. More than half of the guards have died too. Those four beast-type awakened warriors have no other options but to help protect the few guards who still survive, while still keeping track of Arifin’s action.As they are busy in that chaos, a few people come out of the building through the main hallway. It attracts Arifin’s attention, and finds Jack and Rizal taking the ladies from the same group as Grace. But there’s no Grace amongst them.“Jack, where’s Grace and Andini?” asks Arifin as he intends to approach them.But his left leg is held down by one dedemit which has lost its legs. He just destroys the dedemits head by kicking it once.“Watt is still inside trying to get them out,” shouts Jack from afar.“What takes him so long?”“Unlike these people, their rooms are locked,” answers Rizal.Their conversation catches Dr. Cohen’s attention. That’s when he learns Arifin’s real reason why he is so in
