“One wrong move and I’ll slice your throat!” a mysterious man threatened as he stuck his dagger to Marco’s neck.
Marco tried to have a glance at the man behind him.
“Don’t move!” the man ordered. He tightens his grip on Marco.
Marco nervously followed the order. “Who… who are you?” he asked with a faint voice.
“You will know later. But now, just listen to what I say and you will not get hurt,” the man said.
“O…okay,” Marco replied with a tensed voice while nodding his head.
“Now move your legs and be a good boy,” the man commanded. “We will be going somewhere.”
With a knife touching his neck, Marco walked slowly while being guided by the mysterious man on his back.
“Slowly now,” the man whispered.
Meanwhile, near the pond in the forest,
“Who…
“See anything or someone?” Frenz asked Arii. “No… it’s still safe ahead,” Arii whispered back. The two continued moving on. After a while, “Wait… wait…” Arii said. “What?... Why?” “I see two people.” “Are they near?” “Slightly far ahead… It looks like they’re talking to each other.” “Better avoid them then,” Frenz suggested. Arii nodded her head. They went a different route to avoid the two people. Later on, “We’re near them,” Frenz said as he looked at Mika’s location with his UI. “Okay… I’ll try to scan…” Arii replied. After scanning, “Oh my God! There are many people!” Arii’s surprised reaction. “Huh? How many?” Arii counted, “1…2…3…4……. 12? I can see 12! No… 13! I think 13!” Frenz counted with his finger while mumbling. “Mika… Raft… Mario…… but we’re only 11 in our group - including Nikko.” “I don’t know! I see more images…” “Gosh, I think they already got them!” Frenz said as he refers to the thugs. “We should get there!” “It’s too dangerous!” “Let’s just get
BANG! “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” Mika yelled. ... … … … “Eh?” Bingo uttered. “No, please, no! Please don’t shoot me!” Arii pleaded. Surprisingly she was still alive after Bingo pulled the trigger of his pistol. “What… what happened?” Lumine wondered. “AAHH! DARN IT!” Bingo screamed. “It’s just the Impact Bullet this time!” Arii is still shivering on the ground - frightened by the sound of the last pistol shot. Bingo paused and sighed. “You’re a lucky girl! But don’t worry, this next bullet will surely kill you now,” he said as he aimed his pistol at Arii again. Arii covered her body with her arms. “No! Please! Stop it already! Let her go!” Rigor screamed. “SHUT THE F*CK UP!” Bingo shouted back. He aimed
“What more do you want!?” Virgo shouted. Bingo walked closer to Virgo. “Relax girl, we’ll just play an exciting game,” he said. Then, he dragged the dazed Virgo to the base of the dented tree. “Don’t you dare move there!” Bingo threatened Virgo. “F*ck you!” “Tch! You’re one disrespectful lady!” Bingo said back. He kicked Virgo on her stomach. The kick made Virgo curl down and spit liquid from her mouth. “Okay, on to the next one,” Bingo mumbled. Then, he walked towards Mario. Mario is trying to fight back but it was useless because he was still blind and couldn't see Bingo. Bingo punched Mario on his stomach - dropping him to the ground again. He proceeds to drag Mario and place him beside the still-ailing Virgo. Next, he went to Lumine. “What are you doing!? Please don’t hurt us!” Lumine uttered when Bingo tried to grab her arm. Lumine tried to pull back her arm. When Lumine pulled her arm, Bingo was caught off guard and was carried over by the force. He tripped over and lan
Bingo moved closer to Mika’s group. Tension and fear filled the aura of Mika and her friends.“But… before we start, I need you to form a horizontal line in front of me,” Bingo instructed.Mika and her friends hesitated at first.“Come on, do you want me to end this, or nah?” Bingo asked.Without a choice, Mika and her friends formed a line in front of Bingo. In Bingo’s point of view, the order from right to left is as follows: Mario, Lumine, Virgo, Rigor, Raft, Mika, Frenz, and then Marco.“Good-goooood!” Bingo expressed. “Now, let me explain the game we’re going to play.The group nervously listened.Bingo starts explaining. “You see this gun?” he asked while showing his special pistol. Then, he pointed his pistol upward and pulled the trigger 7
“AAAAHHHHH!!!” Lumine screamed.After that, Lumine was left unscathed. It’s the Impact Bullet this time. Lumine is slightly away from the gun so the impact didn’t do anything to her.“Ohohoho! Lucky-lucky!” Bingo commented. “Well… let’s wish that you don’t have to repeat a turn.,” he said to Lumine.“Wha… what?” Lumine asked with a trembling voice and a rapid breath.Bingo just responded with a grin.“Okay, next!” Bingo shouted. Then, he pointed his pistol at the unconscious Arii who was lying on the ground beside Lumine.“What!? But she’s still passed out!” Rigor protested.“Why? Did I say she’s exempted from the game?” Bingo responded.“You’re out of your min
“Well… Even if I say that the phone landed face-up and Mika will take a bullet, the other two remaining turns will still be a 50-50, so…. she’ll do a dare!” Mika took a glance at Mario and whispered, “Thank you!” Mario smiled and nodded at Mika. Then, he took a peek at the smartphone on his lap again - which legitimately landed with the screen facing upwards. Mario quickly grabbed the phone and gave it back to Bingo so Bingo won’t find out the true result. Bingo checked the Age in his UI. “7 hours, 43 minutes. I think you already know when to come back,” he said. Mika nodded. She immediately stood up. “Mika, will you be okay?” Lumine asks out of concern. Mika responded with a nod. “But… your wound,” Lumine pointed out. “I’ll be fine. The pain is not that bad anymore. Better than getting
Back on the location of Bingo and Mika’s friends, Bingo is still teasing the already panicking Frenz. “I guess your friend abandoned you for good,” he said with a grin. “Nooo!! Mika wouldn’t do that!!!!” Frenz clamored. He cried louder. Bingo opened his UI and show it to Frenz, “But look, she only has two minutes left. I don’t think she will come back,” Bingo’s continuous teasing. “NO! NO! NOOOOO!!!! I DON’T WANT TO DIE YET!!!!” Frenz screamed. “Relax! We still don’t know your fate yet,” Bingo replied. Then, he started aiming his gun at Frenz. Frenz’s body is shaking terribly; he is deeply terrified. “Time is almost up!” Bingo informed. Suddenly, Bingo saw something ahead of his vision. He noticed some movements coming from the shadows of the woods. “Wait… I think she’ll have a buzzer-be
Orixa was able to return to Mika and the others’ location. “Where… where are the others?” Lumine asked Orixa when she saw that she returned alone. “The smoke subsided; I couldn’t evacuate them,” Orixa replied. “Who are the others left there?” Frenz asked. “Mario, Raft… another unconscious lady, and another man who seems to already pass away,” Orixa answered. “I think she’s referring to Arii and Kuya Rigor,” Mika said. Then, “Kuya Rigor…” she mumbled with a sad tone. “It’s very unfortunate what happened to him,” Lumine said. “Yup. I wonder what will be Arii’s reaction when she wakes up and finds out that he’s killed. Might be really depressing for her,” Frenz added. “By the way. How about them? Is it safe to leave them there? What should we do now?” Mika asked. “Don’t worry! I used a spell to encase them in a protective crystal barrier. As long as the spell is in effect, they couldn’t be hurt.” “But why leave them there if you used a protective spell on them?” Frenz asked. “T
