Chapter 53 - Impostor

We back before Rudy and Jade go to the town hall and when I call Arsya because I need her.

Right, after Rudy and Jade leave Arsya then prepare me some tea to drink, from the smell I thought that maybe the tea that she serves is earl grey. I drank the tea slowly Arsya beside me smile while looking at me.

5 minutes after Rudy and Jade got out from the meeting room Arsya then begin to ask me.

"So master what do you need from me?"

Arsya asked me, she didn't know the meaning when I said the compatibility of the job. Well, I've been quiet for these 5 minutes, and during a crisis like this, I just enjoy the tea that she serves without any worries.

"Ah, about that please sit down first Arsya"

Because our relationship is like master and servant she even needs my permission or order to sit down, it's really getting on my nerf, I really don't like it. Different from Rudy, he regards me as his master and his friend. Arsya then sits down beside me, I begin to talk about the reason why I call her.

"Where should I start… Ah, Arsya do you remember when Alcott said that he accidentally opens the underground gate under the ruin that seals that beast?"

This is the talk about the ruin.

"Yes I remember, He said that he pushes the green button right? He thought that button is to open their way to out instead they open the beast gate"

Hmmm… where did she hear this? If I'm not wrong, Alcott just said the detail in the council room… whatever, if she already hears it then it should be easy for me to tell her.

"Yeah, that's right, to find the way out Alcott didn't know that the green button in front of him is to open the beats gate I thought that is stupid at first, but when I think about it more… I have a thought that maybe isn't an accident that they are open the beast gate"

When I was in the council room I already have the suspicion in Alcott's story, how can they be so stupid to think that the green button is to open the way out? well, maybe they don't know the meaning of it, it can be applied like that, if only I didn't read Andrian's diary maybe I will never have this suspicion.

"What do you mean master!? Are you think that this accident isn't accidental? Instead of that Alcott let the beast out?"

Arsya is surprised, she can't think the reason why letting a beast this dangerous to the world, it should already clear in the inscription that is already been told to never open the gate and yet they open the gate,

"But it should be impossible if he really let that beast out… why did his team is sacrificed themselves to lured and fight that beast? And if he really let the beast out on purpose, he should be under guild and all the nation suspicion since they are the one who travels to that ruin first"

Arsya is right, the guild has the proof that the Arugos kingdom expedition team is given permission to explore the ruin first if Alcott really let it out on purpose he should be just getting out from there without fighting the beast or lured the beast to another beast. he should be just get away from the scene, and in the first place why did he ask the request first from the guild if he knows that he will let the beast, he should just go to the ruin without permission of the guild.

"Calm down, It's not that I suspect Alcott, what I suspect is all of his teammates include him"

I tried to calm down Arsya.

"Isn't all of his team already died in fighting the beast?"

Asked Arsya.

"Well… how can I say it… did you see all of his team died? We just see Irvin who died in the guild because Alcott thinks that Irvin can be saved, but for his teammate, I don't see all of them died in front of my eyes"

Isn't that I don't believe Alcott, but something is bothering me when Alcott says he accidentally opens the gate. Arsya then closed her mouth, she began to think that maybe there's this possibility… she tried to thinking, though she didn't know why I really suspicious about this. Arsya then asked me.

"Master, I really don't know why did you really suspicious on Alcott team or as to why did you say that the beast isn't accidentally unleashed, I want to know the reason why you said it can you tell me specifically"

Now that's the question, I deliberately didn't say the basis of my suspicion on Alcott teammate because I want her to think about it first, and after she didn't find the reason I want her to ask me. This is the test from me to her I want to knows how capable Arsya is. I smiled and then Answering Arsya question.

"Yeah, I will tell you. If I'm not wrong I hear from jade that you already read Andrian's diary and research book, right?"

Jade told me all our village people who got out from the island already read the books.

"Yeah, I already read it"

Answer her.

"Then do you remember the line, that Andrian stopping the war when he put the EMP bomb on the space, so earth back became to the stone age again?"

"Yeah, If I'm not wrong there's a line that he put an end to the war, with using EMP bomb, EMP bomb sometimes it's called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy, right?"

This was easy… she already knows about the electricity and EMP Bomb I don't need to explain more to her. Well, Andrian explains it in his diary and research book, plus… some of our facility in the village is using the electricity made from the hydroelectric and wind power electricity that Andrian left before he died.

"Yeah, that's right, if the EMP is active for 50 years just like Andrian said that means there will no electricity anymore in this world and the gate can't be open with a mechanical system in that place because that gate using the electricity to be opened, even if Alcott said that he press the button the gate will not open since there's no electricity in it. As long as the electricity in the underground facility isn't been fixed by someone then the door will not be open by the system, the beast will be locked in the gate for eternity and that's why Andrian writes that inscription, he wants all the people who reach that underground facility to never open the gate no matter what happens."

Now maybe I finally understand the reason why he blows the EMP bomb for these 50 years, this beast is the nightmare from the past that Andrian can't destroy. I don't know what happens 5000 years ago, to think there's this kind of beast roaming on the earth what the hell is happening in that war?

While Arsya hears and tried to understand my explanation, her face became pale, she realized that there's some history between that beast and her first Elders, Andrian. Arsya believes what I said since she regards me as her master someone that she serves. When in the deep thinking, she then somehow gets a grasp of my story.

"Master… Are you said… that there's someone who fixed the electricity in that underground?"

She put her serious expression.

"Yeah, that's right… and I believe Alcott is being used to open the gate since Alcott know how to read the Alphabet from 5000 years ago"

"Wait… wait a minute why did someone use Alcott to open the gate? And what their reason open the gate? If Alcott knows that there's dangerous being behind the gate shouldn't he didn't open the gate…"

Arsya is still doesn't believe that someone using him, it's really understandable since it was hard to believe that there's someone out there who wants to wake up this beast.

"Yeah, I believe Alcott doesn't want to open the gate… what if he is forced to open the gate?"

Arsya forgets the story of why Alcott opens the gate.

"What do you… "

Arsya then realized.

"He wants to get out from the facility…"

Because Alcott was trapped in underground ruins he didn't have any choice to open the gate to get out from the ruin facility.

"Yeah, he wants to get out from the facility so that the gate is opened… he doesn't want to open but there's no other way to get out from that ruin… with this someone who uses Alcott is succeed in opening the gate. Someone fixed the electricity in the underground facility, and because the gate can't be open with their knowledge since the gate is using the alphabet from 5000 years ago they didn't know how to open it or they know how to open it, but they don't want to open just like that then they used their connection from Arugos kingdom, used someone who knows how to read the alphabet from 5000 years ago, it was Alcott, and lured him with the knowledge that there's a weapon in there, with this their purpose of opening the gate is done… the rest they can do is…"

"Killing the witness, huh?"

It was Arsya the one who speaks.

"Yeah, killing the witness, but how can they do it?"

"By disguise himself to become one of his teammates, right?"

"Yeah"

It was really clever move, this bad guy tries to get something but they can't obtain it, instead, they used the resource from another to obtain what they want and used another resource to become a scapegoat and the bad guys will vanish completely if they kill all the witness even if they didn't know that they are being used.

I believe Arsya knows this too, she knows too about this, I already pointed all the points and the keyword to her to make her realized, she should realize about it now. She finally understands why I suspect one of Alcott teammate is an impostor and tried to use him, I suspect the one who used Alcott and His kingdom is someone that informs him about the weapon location in here, that one person is the reason why Alcott and his kingdom made a move if that so…

"But master…"

Arsya then called me.

"Hmmm?"

"If there's really impostor who used Alcott and his kingdom, consider he can fix the electricity in that ruins and know what it is behind that gate… that means this person is…"

"Yeah… there's a possibility that this person knows what happens in the war 5000 years ago or maybe someone from 5000 years ago"
