A strange day just passed, it ended with my mother's scolding.
Today is Sunday, but I still have to get up early to study. I've always wanted to have a good night's sleep, but because of the effects of coffee, I can't. I have to drink more than 2 cups of coffee every day to stay awake. I know it's bad for my health, but there's nothing I can do about it.
Almost everyone likes Sunday because they don't have to go to school or work, they just rest and do the things they like such as shopping, watching TV, going out, etc. My mother also takes the day off work. Sunday is a terrible thing because she watches me all the time. She does not let me rest or entertain even for a moment. So I hate weekends more than other days. In general, I hate all days of the week. If I don't study at home, I'll study at school, and take extra lessons from noon until late at night. But, now I have a different feeling about this life, even if just a little bit. Even if the ARXX organization deceives me, I still feel quite happy because of this strange experience. But I don't know if it's a side effect of the black water I drank, but I often have headaches, and my ears are ringing.
"When you're done with your study, give this to Mrs. Luna" - My mother says.
I follow my mother's orders and leave the house. It's been a long time since I've been out on a Sunday. I want to go a little slower so I will not have to go back to that gloomy house, but unfortunately, Mrs. Luna's house is very close to the apartment I am staying in. It only takes about 7 minutes to get there. I stand ringing the bell for a long time but there is no answer, I try turning the doorknob and find it is not locked. When the door opened, the scene before me makes me extremely surprised that I backed away, intending to turn around and run away.
Suddenly a hand pulls my shirt back, leaving me struggling. I use all my strength to tear my shirt to get rid of the woman with the bloody face, and the corpse of Mrs. Luna lying on the floor. The strange woman uses her bloody hand to squeeze my neck and pull me inside. I kick her off with my foot but accidentally step on a pool of Luna's blood and fall. The fishy smell makes me want to vomit, I try to crawl towards the door but she stops me. She grabs Luna's body and yanks the head out, and blood is sprayed all over the room and my face. I roll my eyes as I watch the woman's head falls automatically. She covers Luna's head with her own body. A strange light appears that blind me, and when I look back, I discover that everything is back to normal.
“Do you come here to give me something, Daisy?” – Mrs. Luna smiles gently and kindly asks me.
"Stay away!" I yell and turn to run away.
As soon as I run out the door, I bump into the man whom I saw yesterday - BB. He looks at me and then runs over to Luna. She sees BB and immediately backs away, holding a knife to threaten him. The man's hand suddenly emits an electric current, then quickly rushes to Luna's place. She lets out a scream and disappears immediately. I stand in heaven and am very surprised.
“Is she… an alien?”
The man nods and replies:
“I don’t expect you to meet them so soon. Perhaps they were attracted to your power.”
I still have not stopped panicking over what had happened, asking the man in a trembling voice:
“Do they… kill people and live with their identity?”
“Not really. The things you just saw are D-rank so they function like that. As for the more advanced ones, they will absorb humans to become stronger. And their favorite food is healthy and smart people.”
It is horrible, all of this is beyond my imagination.
“But why did everything return to normal even though it was covered in blood just now?”
"That's their power, maybe they create a virtual space and you accidentally got caught up in it"
I sit down, face lost and extremely scared. Can I kill those aliens? Am I brave enough to face these monsters? They are horrible! Just thinking back to the scene just now, I am vomiting.
“Are you all right, Daisy?” – The man asks, reaching out his hand and helping me up.
I don’t answer but he must know that this is not okay. No one can stay calm when witnessing a scene of murder like this.
Perhaps because he does not feel safe if I join the organization, he asks again:“Do you want to join us? Because this haunts you”He seems to be looking down on me because of that moment of weakness. This makes me feel uncomfortable.“I guess everyone feels that way at first. Even the leaders of ARXX, including you. But if you are in regular contact, that fear will surely fade away.”“You're right, Daisy! We always welcome you. At 2 pm this afternoon, Ell will bring you to our organization to learn more about the specific job as well as the joining profile.“Ell? The man who judges the rounds?”I suddenly remember the small hole that suddenly appeared behind my earlobe so I ask the man.“This is how we can put images directly into her brain instead of sound. If anything changes, we will contact you later. Now, I need to get back to the organization. Be careful when you go home!"Saying that the man disappears as quickly as before. Everything is still vague. When I return home, my mot
But unlike what I am thinking, the man in front of me, after looking at my profile, thinks that I am a cat-loving person.“No, I don't even love animals”If he knows that I have wanted to kill a dog because it is always around me when I go to school, he will have been more surprised.“I will answer a few more of your questions. So Catta, is there anything you want to ask me?"“Of course yes, with such a suspicious organization, I have a thousand questions to ask you. But since I don't waste time on both sides, I only give the main sentences”“You're welcome, I'm here to do it. Never mind anything!”I look around and open with an old question:“Where was this organization built?”“As I said, it doesn't belong in this land”“Do you mean this land where I live or the whole country?”The man is like a pre-programmed machine, he answers mechanically:"Both are wrong!"Is not right? His answer makes me a little curious. Could this strange organization not exist in the world? I want to ask h
A week goes on and on and the first day of training begins. That day, when I am studying in my room, Ell comes and takes me away. What intrigued me the most is what excuse will he use to convince my mother like last time. Surely, he can't use the old trick again. Today, I am taken to another room, the inside is still painted in white but it's a bit murky and a bit cramped. There is nothing here but a table, two chairs, and a strange machine that looks like a giant egg. What is in front of me is completely different from what I thought.“First, You are doing a general physical examination to assess your health condition. So, Catta, please step inside that machine.”“What is that?” “It's called the Egg of Strength. After entering, your body will enter deep sleep, and the machine will make a detailed assessment of your body and ability to use the powers”I feel a bit suspicious so I do not immediately agree, I hesitantly stare at the strange machine. It seems that this ARXX organization
I don't even know that my mother is away from home and yet he knows so well. Quite disappointed that I don't get to witness a spectacular scam by this glasses man today. That's fine too, I enjoy my mom's absence."Do you know when she'll be back?"He looks at his watch and replies:“Probably in a few hours. We only dare to estimate so.”“In that case, you still have plenty of time to answer my other questions?”The man nods and tells me to go easy.“What weapon are you referring to specifically?” I frown, wondering.“Knives, guns, etc. Weapons include anything that can hit the opponent. Sometimes just a pair of chopsticks is a powerful weapon.”I'm not sure if he's joking or telling the truth. Because here every citizen is not allowed to use such weapons. If found, they will immediately be fined a large amount of money and sent to prison. This is not the country of Mixreca, he needs to know about it.“I apologize for using my power to read your mind. Just as you think, our country mus
Today our class has a surprise Math test. Anyway, this is my forte subject so I'm not too worried, besides, since last night I've been studying very hard. But the person sitting next to me, that obnoxious man named David, and the others, aren't like that. As soon as the teacher announces that there is going to be a test today, they all get into a commotion, very disorderly, they turn left and right again just to complain about the problem. It is only when the teacher mentions it for the third time that they are silent for a while. “You guys need to keep order. Why do you make such noise every time you take a test? No matter what, you have to study well before going to school, right?” – says the teacher, taking a stack of papers from the bag. Call Milan – the class monitor of my class to hand out the test papers to everyone. Before that, some of my classmates asked me why I'm always at the top of the grade but I don't hold any position. It’s largely because my mother forbade me to do
“Hey, you bastard!”Stella is probably the leader of these guys. She grabs my short hair, and tugs it painfully, they drag me into the bathroom, locking the door so no one would disturb them. Then they take turns kicking hard on my stomach and body. They torture me and scold me:“Who do you think you are to come face to face with us? Do you think you're good at it? How dare you look down on us?"“Give her a taste!”“Damn, this girl is so ugly, her face is dark, and her eyes are also dark. Her hair is a bit messy, and it's still sticky."“The body is like dry wood. Does she think she's beautiful when she's thin or something?"Since they hit me in the eye, I can only see them with my other eye. There are a total of 4 people. They beat and record a video, laughing and talking happily.“Your life is almost over! Try to enjoy it you slut!” – Stella says, kicking my arm with her foot, I cry out in pain, but another girl covers my mouth with a pile of toilet paper – “You think David helps yo
I go back to the classroom with anger in my heart, all the members see my pathetic appearance and start talking. Milan still behaves like a nice class monitor, she asks me:“Are you okay, Daisy? Besides… where's the document I asked you to get?"Ah, so she comes to ask me about the documents. But know how to respond when those documents were neatly in the toilet and were trampled to the point of tearing. All of that cost more than half of the class budget, and I'm already in big trouble."Hey, don't you hear what Milan is asking?" – A friend says in an aggressive voice, she is sitting on the table with her legs and arms crossed, she looks just like an errant."I'm sorry"I answer quickly and return to my seat, they have another excuse to dig up and talk bad about me. The boy sitting next to me doesn't say a word, he doesn't care much either. That's fine, at least he doesn't go along with them in such an outrageous and stupid way. After settling down, I adjust my clothes. I vigorously
Hearing him say that, I smirk."Well, I don't think you would say such words."“Are you surprised?”"No" I reply bluntly.David laughs merrily, then slithers down on the grass, plucks a blade of grass, and puts it in his mouth. There is something inexplicable and silly about his actions. I immediately say:“You will soon be in trouble if you stay calm and carefree.”"Why?" - He leans over, looking at me with a pair of eyes that are something very sad and sparkling. His usual smile also becomes strangely magical, quite similar to BB."Aren't you afraid that it's a poisonous plant?"“You worry too much, Daisy. Don't worry, I know plants well. My future dream is to become an entomologist. How about you?"I keep silent. I don't even know what my dreams are. Is there someone who lives without ambition or hope? That's deplorable! The person that I always look down on is superior to me, in the end, the worst person is just me. I turn my face away, avoiding David's eyes, and reply:“What are
