[PART 5]Kelas mata kuliah terakhir sudah selesai.Sejak ditunjukkan rekaman CCTV oleh Azka, Aleena memutuskan untuk membuat mind-mapping(¹) secara diam-diam. Di kepalanya sudah tersusun rencana untuk mendatangi lokasi yang berada dalam rekaman CCTV. Aleena sungguh-sungguh tidak bisa menghilangkan rasa penasarannya. Sosok pria misterius yang mengikuti dirinya dan Azka dua malam kemarin membayangi pikiran Aleena.Mengapa pria itu mengikuti mereka?Aleena tidak merasa mengganggu siapa pun. Kalaupun memang seseorang itu berniat macam-macam, mengapa langkahnya ragu-ragu saat ingin mendekati ruangan persembunyian Aleena dan Azka?Kalau saja keberadaan si pria misterius itu tidak tertangkap kamera CCTV, maka Aleena tidak akan ingin menelusuri. Masalahnya, Aleena merasa kalau pria misterius itu ada keterkaitan dengan foto-foto yang ditemukan di dalam kotak.Bayangkan. Tiga foto polaroid dari salah satu kotak yang dikirimkan entah siapa menunjukkan wilayah Fakultas Kedokteran. Sementara pria
[VERSI INGGRIS PART 2] The atmosphere between the two of them was suddenly silent. Between laughter and other conversations, Andre and Aleena only glanced at each other. Seeing the sharpness in Aleena's eyes provoked the corners of Andre's lips to smile crookedly."And it looked like there was a plastic bag that was positioned slightly at an angle compared to the other two plastic bags, as if the bag had just been leaned against something and it had already been taken."Andrew hasn't answered yet. His eyes seemed to want to hear more Aleena's sentence.“If it's trash, it should be taken all of it. Why wasn't all of them taken and ... the position of the plastic bag that was a little crooked seemed to have been taken in a hurry?” Aleena raised both eyebrows at this question.This is weird.Aleena herself didn't know why her mind was thinking about that question. Even though the distance between him and the plastic bag there was not that close for him to be able to deduce what he had j

BUGH!"Ssst! Don't do anything crazy that could draw their suspicions onto you!"Lucius winced as someone suddenly pushed his back against the wall. He closed his eyes for a few seconds because he felt the tightness from the impact of his back against the wall. Someone in front of him now, who knows who, was covering his mouth."They won't let you go after seeing where you are," said someone in front of Lucius once again.Only then did Lucius' eyes open to see who the person who had kept his mouth shut was. Lucius squinted as he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly.Just as Lucius was about to ask something, he heard footsteps approaching. So someone in front of Lucius immediately pulled his body to shift as well as close their bodies together.Really, Lucius really felt awkward in the position of facing a man. Moreover, their bodies are very close because they hide behind the wall."Don't speak," whispered the man in front of Lucius.'You were the one who was ta
[ANNOUNCEMENT FOR NEW PLAYERS, PLEASE COME TO THE TRAINING GROUND TO DO SHOOT TRAINING][ONCE AGAIN, ANNOUNCEMENT TO NEW PLAYERS...]The clock still struck four in the morning, and the alarm ringing loudly through the speaker had sounded.This wasn't the first time Lucius had heard such an announcement. Even so, Lucius wasn't used to wake-up alarms or announcements for players gathering yet.Moreover, what was said in the announcement earlier? There is shooting training. At four in the morning—when people should still be resting. But here, Lucius had to force his eyelids open to do something that wasn't light at all.Lucius didn't know why there were people doing strenuous activities at four in the morning. Did the senior players also experience this kind of activity when they were still at the level Lucius was at?"Aish. I really don't understand life here," Lucius grumbled while ruffling his hair.[ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL...]“Argh, alright, alright!” Lucius shouted in exasperation at t

THE SYSTEM HAS PREPARED A LIST OF MISSIONS THAT MUST BE WORKED OUT]After reading the notification on the system's blue screen, Lucius finally pressed the back button at the bottom of the right side. The system blue screen display then changes again to the home screen.On the right side, there is a message box logo with an exclamation mark on it. Like a notification just came in.Lucius opened the message box, then the system's blue screen changed back to showing three boxes. There was a title in capitals and bold at the very top: CHOICE OF LUCIUS MISSIONS.Unde
"START IDENTITY CHECK..."In front of the aluminum door, Lucius stood with a confused look on his face. From the 10-inch, square-shaped screen, a laser beam appears to identify Lucius' face. After a few seconds, the screen displayed Lucius's photo and player data.[PLAYER INFO][NAME: Emmanuel Lucius][AGE: 21][LEVEL: 17/50][STATUS ON GROUP: None][TOTAL POINTS: 17,220][TOTAL KILLS: 79]——————————[SKILL LEVEL: MEDIUM]"Identification has been completed. Players can enter the training ground after picking up the selected weapon."After the sound of the system announcement sounded, Lucius heard the sound of the system door opening. As if there was an automatic code that appeared after the identification of Lucius' personal data was complete.Then, the aluminum doors in front of Lucius and in front of Daneed opened in unison. The identification data for the two of them has been completed. With a
