I've got free time, might as well watch some-
Bam~
"What was that?" Something must've fallen, I'm sure. Let's check it out.
I started moving to the origin of the sound, it seems as if something has fallen. Another thud happened, it seems this one is from corridor.
"Aye, you guys are making a lot of noise, if some other people came out, we'll be fucked before even getting to fuck." It seems this is.... My Father?
"Yeah, yeah. Only your family resides at this floor. Don't fuck with us and start picking up the stuff." He was with his colleagues. They are carrying quite a few boxes with them. What can it be?
"Get on the elevator already or I am leaving before you guys. She should be done getting ready already and this time we're 4 people. Not getting out of this."
"No holes bared haha!!"
It looks like they're going to fuck some woman but 4 on 1!? Looks like someone's gonna get broken pretty badly.
Ding~
They left, huh? Well, they should be going down, might as well check out 100th floor. No one is around anyways.
I noticed something when I started walking towards elevator, it was going up. Wait, up...? Isn't that 100th floor? The mysterious floor? Why is Father going for such a place? What could it be? This looks bad, I've got to see this through.
Let's check this out, it will get my sub quest completed as well. It shouldn't be that risky..... I guess? Um, all's well if no one notices me.
I went up taking the elevator after waiting for 5 minutes just to ensure that they aren't standing in the corridor. It looks all of them left to some room already.
Now that I think about it, 100th Floor is a lot different than other floors. In other floors, we live in the houses built in a floor like a simple hotel. But this floor is the house itself. Like, the moment you enter this floor, you've got another door with some scanner thing embedded by the side. It looks as if some futuristic lab.
The door is open. Looks like they didn't bother locking it up. I guess no one ever comes to this floor so they didn't bother locking the door. Good for me, I'll help myself.
Going in, the house is exceptionally clean as if someone cleans it up every day. No dust can be found. I'm guessing people are using it for personal use after all.
{ Alert: Side Quest process reached 10%. }
Nice, side quest started progressing as well. Let's see what this place has got in store for me.
This door looks like it goes to the living room, um, yeah. Swoosh~ It is the living room. Automatically operated sensor doors, sexy. This place stands to the par of being called home of The Pythagoras's Owner, Mr. Dex. Sad, he died so quickly.
The room is so white, it looks as if it was used to torture people. I read somewhere, a room filled with only white things is enough to even make an adult feel unease. I don't know how he lived in here. I'm guessing he had strange interests when he was alive.
I looked around for quite a while and only color I could see was white. If I had to describe his rooms, it'll be like a white canvas. In his living room, lied a white sofa, a white table, a laptop at the center of the table which was also white with an empty white flower pot. It was all white. To replace a T.V. lied a holographic bar made by Pythagoras. Ultra thin, reliable, working on solar energy, just amazing.
"This place is so bor-"
Creak~~
Was it a door's creaking sound? Seriously? At a place like this with all the auto-motion doors, a manual wooden door exists!?
When I searched for the source of creak, it actually came from a door and not from my imagination. The door was simple brown wooden door, a bit rusted, looked quite old fashioned. The thing which is of question here is, why a wooden door in a futuristic house!?
Let's check this out, looks like some sorta surprise bonus.
{ Alert: Side Quest progress has reached 40% completion. }
Something about this room feels out of place. Even if it has a wooden door, what could be so---
"The fuck!? "
A library!? It seems Mr. Dex had quite a few interesting sides to him. Going in, library had a typical look as if from past, some historical library. A lot of historical manuscripts and rolls placed in shelves, some hardcover thick books and at a corner... um, are those porn magazines!? So Mr. Dex was a man of culture, huh?
It seems even old got gold hormones, hand it over to males to not even have a care in the world about their collection getting seen by others. Well, never mind. As I was looking around, I saw something strange, as if a door but it wasn't actually a door, more like a duct.
"Let's see what this thing is. If I've come all the way here, might as well check it all out."
Creak~~
"Fuck! Who is it n--" As I was getting a place to hide, I noticed a familiar figure which I resented the most, and guess who it was........ ta-da, Zero it was. The fuck is he doing here!?
"Sia? What leads you here? How did you even manage to get to this floor? You know this area is restricted to other people living in the building."
"Oh... um, I was just passing by and... wait, what are you doing here? Questioning me like you're my parent, who the hell are you?"
"Um, I come here regularly, after all, my father was the real owner of this place, so naturally I can come to this place and no one won't even say anything to me."
"Oh, right. Your father was the owner of Pythagoras. Huh!? You know about your father?"
"Isn't that obvious, well never mind that. Come with me, we can't talk in open like this."
He started walking and suddenly, *puff*, he disappeared inside the wall right beside porn magazine stack.
{ Alert: Side Quest progress has reached 60% completion. }
"You coming?"
"Eh-- oww!?" I got startled and fell down. He suddenly popped out of from that duct. "Yeah, I'm coming. Give me a second."
Inside of the place is extraordinarily simple, like, when he came out of there, I thought it'll be kind of sci-fi. Same was as the whole house but strangely enough, library and the room have same theme. Mr. Dex, what kind of strange likings you had, I wonder.
"Zero, do you mind telling me how you came here? Because, the way I see it, no one should be allowed to enter this floor from the front door as it has a locking system which had a retina scanner, a fingerprint scanner and a passcode lock. It should only open if it has your biometrics."
"You're right on mark. The security for this place is most tightest of all the floors. Even dust can't enter this floor. Well, you won't know but this floor has 3 emergency exits."
"Wait a minute, 3?" 3 isn't even possible. I know only about 2. First one is directly available to all the floors while the other one is specifically for the floors that are above 90th floor to have them escape as soon as possible. But which is this third one?
"Yes. Third. When this apartment was being built, Father insisted on having another hidden exit which won't be known to anyone except my Father, Mother and me. Even the engineers that were involved in this all were paid a hefty sum to keep their mouths shut. No record of this exit can be found. Also, this exit is something which only us three can open. So it is useless to other people."
"I see, so this is how you entered this floor."
{ Activate skill: Detect }
"That's correct. I come here quite a lot whenever I feel like it. I use this place as an hideout, so please keep it a secret from others." { Detect skill failed. Target has a mental barrier enabled. }
"I promise I won't tell this to anyone. You can rest assured. Zero, you don't mind me staying, right." Damn it! Why didn't it work on him.
"Actually I do. It'll be nice if you could leave as soon as possible."
"And what if I don't." I stared right into his eyes.
"It'll only be good if you could leave without causing a commotion here, even you know that your father is already in one of the rooms here. And by any chance if he hears us making noise... it'll be quite a problem."
"Ah.. yea- yeah. I understand." I backed a few steps. Not because I feared my father finding out about this but when I was staring into Zero's eyes, it was all pitch black. Not even a ray of light, it was as if a blackhole.
"Thank you Sia. Now if you may."
Bam
Before I could even realize, I was already unconscious. I couldn't even see or hear anything. My senses were fading away slowly.
{ Alert: Both quests have been completed. Congratulations! }
I bent down to pick up Sia's body. I think this all was quite straining to her.
Clink~
"Master, you should be careful. If this book would've fallen down, sound would've echoed and it can be dangerous if we were found out."
"Yeah yeah! You worry too much. Its not like those idiots can hear us. They're probably raping Aunt Marie right now. I feel sorry for her. She's such a sweet lady. All for Sia's sake, she gets herself raped every month."
"If I'm not wrong, Sia's real father was killed by Lester, correct?"
"You're correct. Lester being father of Nero never really liked Sia's real father and killed him. Sia really is unfortunate."
"But why is Lester doing this all?"
"Who knows. Oh, do you wanna hear a good story?"
"If Master wants it, I'm all ears."
"Haha! You're clever, I like you."
"There was once a person named Emilia from an orphanage. She was coming back from her shopping when she noticed a 2 year old kid trembling because of cold near a shop. She took him to the orphanage. Kid started living in the orphanage.
3 years later, kid turned 5. On the anniversary of the day he was brought in, he was having a good celebration.Having a peeler and peeling the skin of person who got him into the orphanage. He skimmed her skin, and fed the woman her own limbs. Tortured her, starved her, made her eat her own meat and eventually she died.Now comes a question, why did the kid do this?"
"Because he was waiting for his real parents to come back while standing outside the shop and when lady saw him and took him away from that place, he thought she's trying to kidnap him and then waited to grow strong enough to take revenge."
"You're dumb. What do you think it is we're talking about, some action hero in his childhood!? The answer is simple, a lot actually. All he learnt in his life was to kill."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's see. When he was with his parents, all he ever saw was killing. When he got abandoned and was picked by the lady, he went to the orphanage and there he lived a peaceful life till he became a good database."
"Database?"
"Yes. A database. A child in his childhood is the perfect storage device you could ever find. They don't question anything you tell them. They will gladly store it all and will think, what you told them is the universal truth."
"So what did the orphanage teach the kid? Wait, before that, what did he see when he lived with his parents?"
"Kid's parents were torturer. They used to torture people and kill them. Growing up in an environment like that stored those stuff as memories for him.When he met the lady, he felt attached to her. He loved her and cherished her and to make her truly his, he killed her. Reason being, last time when the kid saw his father, he was eating meat for his own wife.This also got stored in kid's memories and he did the same but instead of eating it himself, he got the lady to do so."
"I see. So he thought the real way to show love was by killing and torturing your loved ones."
"You're halfway correct, but here comes the twist. When the kid became stable, that lady Emilia started teaching him ways to kill. She taught him everything about killing and all the methods to torture someone. The kid already had basics known about killing and torturing as he saw it when he was a child too so it wasn't anything new to him. The thing new to him was actually the test."
"Test?"
"Yep. The test. The orphanage had a test and that was... to torture the one who taught you everything and eventually kill her. If you could satisfy the judges by using most painful ways to kill someone, you'll survive or else... you'll have to go through everything you did to your target."
"So that is why he skimmed her skin then let the lady eat her own limbs?"
"Correct. But do you think all he did was skim her skin and let her eat her own limbs?"
"Huh?"
"Well. To put it simply, he never actually was a normal kid. His killing intent was something that was on level of psychopaths. He started with skimming her skin, chopping her limbs in cute little cubes, slowly letting her eat her own limbs. Then he stuffed the insides of the lady with salt and gunpowder, enough to burn her insides but not to kill her. Fired the gunpowder, let the lady get roasted then gave her roasted meat to eat. And to finish it all off, he took out her eyeballs, then her ears, then her nose, then her tongue and pushed it all down her throat in a go. But lady didn't die even after that."
"Then how did she die?"
"What do we have after meal?"
"Desert?"
"Yes and do you know what desert was for the lady?"
"Um, after all the things I've heard, I guess all her organs should be either malfunctioned or destroyed."
"It was the case but two organs were still intact... and those were... her heart and her brain."
"Ah right, he never touched her heart or brain."
"Yep. Right on the money. So, to end it all, he took a needle, long enough to pierce right through the lady's heart, and punctured her heart again and again. While this all was happening, lady couldn't even cry because of all the stuff that was thrashed down her throat. Blood tears rolling down her cheek, she was trembling and was crying in agony. Truly a beautiful scene."
"What did he do after that?"
"Who knows. I guess he ate the heart and brain after lady died. Though it was all good."
"I see. But did he pass the test?"
"What do you think?"
"He did, I guess."
"Well, he passed the test and with flying colors, um, no. He passed the test with flowing blood. That wraps up our story. Let's leave this place now. shall we?"
"Yes Master."
