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
Arifin’s dad appears, intending to turn on the floodlights in the backyard. This housing complex is actually surrounded by a high concrete wall. Except for the east part which is directly adjacent to the forest behind Arifin's house. The sky is still quite bright with the red and orange clouds during the sun set. Arifin is almost forgetting that this much illuminate won’t be enough to ward off those Dilopho monsters away. “Have the other floodlights been turned on, Dad?” “Easy! They have taken your words like holy scripture. Have you showered yet? Don't bathe too late, you might get sick!” The dad gets back inside the house. And Arifin, he is now thinking about his option to take that side quest. He has completed his daily training regime. And the system is offering him a side quest hunting dedemit creatures to collect the blood and soul crystals. He planned to skip it for tonight. But after listening to Mike’s story about the Bunian Realm, he finds the urge to make sure whether
A scream of pain suddenly echoes breaking the silence of the night, shaking Tony’s attention from his reverie. He sees Arifin jumping around from a tree, trying to reach the evil spirits he is going to kill.The more evil spirits Arifin slays, the more chaotic the scream is, and the more Tony finds the reason to just leave that place.“I can’t stay here. They are monsters! It was a bad decision to follow them.”Mike, with his monstrous hands and sharp fingers, easily butchers the zombies’ neck. As if he knows how to handle these demons, he mostly aims their heads and necks.“It seems like he is really familiar with these creatures,” mumbles Arifin.Arifin is having a bit of leisure time after he clears those evil spirits. His attention is back to the notification that the system gives to him.The truth is, the system has given him a weird quest since morning, since the time Mike enters his room.[Side Quest!][A dangerous entity detected. Kill him before he becomes a hindrance]Reward
