Chapter 9 - M. Roukella

Since I left there 2 days, it was the first time I heard again the word "war."

Disturbed by what he had just said, I asked him to repeat, as if to be sure I have answered.

And he answered me:

"It is a little worn? »

"Nah not that what you said at the end of your sentence. »

"Ba, it will be able to help you during this war. »

There, I was on the ad in fact been received everywhere.

But I could not help but ask:

"So that means you too have heard the announcement ridges before yesterday by the Great Patriarchs? »

"Unfortunately yes, like all people worldwide. I still have trouble believing it, it feels like a nightmare that seems so unattainable. »

It marked a second break like to see if I reacted.

But he went right after:

"But everything is real. These are the people he most powerful in the world, it seems quite logical that they are able to create such a game. The number on our arms proves. »

"Oh yes, you are right, I had forgotten. You have what number? »

"I have the number 03254928 651. I know if it's supposed to represent something, but I was assigned one. »

While saying his number, he showed me his right wrist, to prove that he was telling the truth.

"And you is how much? "Asked me there just after.

"Mine is the 03,254,930 057. And since our numbers are almost the same, we can deduce that we are numbered according to our housing area.

The only things I wonder is where the number 0000000001 and also if the Great 8 Patriarchs involved in the war, because if it does, every person on Tarria sees the chances of victory fly away. But in my opinion, they either do not participate or will participate, but by facing the last survivors of the war. Otherwise, he would not have bothered to create this "Final War". »

This is after I finished my sentence when I noticed that I had said aloud what I thought.

Amazed by what I had just said, Kary said nothing and stared at me with bulging eyes.

After a few seconds he finally answered me:

"Young man, how could you deduct all in so little time? »

"I do not know, and everything came so naturally, all I knew about this war, it is stacked in my brain and that is the most plausible conclusion I have reached, it remains just know if it materializes or not, and that, we'll know that from 1 January next. »

"Wow, I'm really impressed that such a young man like you be able to deduce all this having only heard an announcement, it is almost unthinkable for a normal human. You have to be a sacred kind anyway. »

"Oh nah, I'm not amazing at all. All I want is to survive this war with my family. »

"You got a nice goal. And by the way, you know how to use the map we have in our heads? »

" The map ? Which map ? »

"You did not remember, since the announcement, we all have a card that is supposed to show the areas where we need to register, and also where is the famous poison that kills us if we come into contact with him. »

He was right, I was so focused on how do we remain all alive, I had completely forgotten this card in our head.

"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember this famous card. But nah, unfortunately I do not know how to use it and you, you are arrived. »

"Ah, ah, fortunately I'm here because yes I know how to use this card. And today you'll get lucky, because it is I who will personally teach you how to use it. »

" Truly ? »

" Yes of course. »

"Oh great thank you. »

"Do not thank me yet, I still have nothing. Well you ready? »

"Yes gentlemen. »

"Well fine, then concentrate yourself and in your head tells you" View map. " By cons, do not you expect that it works the first time. Me for example, it took me about 40 tries to get to view the map and still she did not stay longer than one second. And it took me over 200 tests for the master by ... "

"Oh, that's it, I can, I see. »

" WHAT ?? How it is possible ? It has to be beginner's luck! I'm sure you will not soon will arrive to make it appear as and as many times as you want. »

"If, I do it perfectly, the only problem is that it is totally white, the only thing I can distinguish on it, it is a blue point, which must be me, I suppose and the different points red, which I presume are the different places to register. »

"It's impossible, the first time. »

"Oh great, I can also zoom it and move it. »

"Can we move it? Even I do not happen. »

"Yes, it's simple, just think about it and it does it alone. »

"Ah, the student finally passed the master. I am proud of you. »

"Uh, I'm supposed to be the student in this story? It's me who taught you how to move and zoom. »

"Your parents never taught you not to destroy the illusions of others? Kind of impolite. »

I did not have time to answer that he changed directly to the subject, as if he were upset.

"By the way, the paper I gave you is a map of the region. It is not very big, but it brings together all cities, villages, roads, forests, rivers as well as the hills within 30 kilometers around Taïki. There is the city of Meh, that of Dorta and Pabri, the largest cities represented on the map. »

"Speaking of Meh is to reach this city that I imprint this bike, besides I have to hurry to go, because I have an important appointment at 3 pm there. »

I was obviously had no planned appointments, I just found an excuse to go as soon as possible.

"Oh, in that case, I do not delay you longer and I leave you the card and the bike for free. I give them to you. »

"Really, I can take them. »

"Yes of course, you gave me valuable information about this war and you helped me understand how to better use the card, so I give them. Like that you will be indebted to me when I need your help during the war. »

"You can count on me to be indebted to you. Good luck to you. »

"Good luck to you too, that luck accompanies you. »

It is at these words that I left, taking with me, the card I wanted in my pocket and the bike. I pushed the door and out. And just before the door closes I had time to say:

"By the way, my name is Yùichi Mato. »

I climbed on the bike and left.

Ten seconds later I heard the sound of the door I had just shut down and a voice out:

"My name is Kary Roukella. »

"I will remember Mr. Roukella. »

While pedaling straight, I replied and not returned to me and went to Meh, where I was going to spend the next 5 days trying to find someone who would like to buy my house.
