Chapter 14 - Chapter 13

April 4, 19XX

Beep--

Beep--

"Is experiment no. 002 still unconscious?"

"What don't tell me she's already dead, tsk tsk what a waste she was the only female experiment in our batch"

Hearing the sound of people chattering a girl inside a human size capsul opened her eyes slowly and painfully

Suddenly the men in lab coats saw her open her eyes and immediately said with a wicked smile "Oh what do you say? She's still alive"

"We can do more test on her"

The men walked towards the capsul and placed the hand on a lever, seeing this the girl widened her eyes in horror and was struggling

Alas that didn't work as the man pulled the lever and immediately purple lightning wsas emitted from the capsul

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The girls screamed in pain as she was once again electrocuted

____

The girl didn't know how long it lasted but the test finally ended and she was released from the capsul

She was then locked up inside a white room, she cried in the corner weakly

"Eleri?"

Suddenly she heard the familiar voice and said "Raizel?"

"Are you there? Are you fine?"

Going towards the sound of the voice coming from the other side of the wall she cried and said "Raizel…it hurts…it hurts…"

The other party was silent for a moment before he coaxed her and said "Hush, everything will be fine, don't worry we will definitely get out of here"

The girl sobbed as she said "Really?"

"Really, I promise"

"Raizel…I want to see you again" She placed her hand on the wall

The boy on the other side also placed his hand and forehead on the wall as he said "Me too"

*****

Opening her eyes Eleri felt heavy and found that she was crying. Wiping away her tears she looked at the book she was still clutching tightly and muttered "Raizel…"

- Ding!

- Congratulations to the dear dreamers for surviving the night!

[No. of Survivors: 4/7]

[Time Limit: 05:09:14:26]

Hearing these Eleri was still motionless before she sighed and thought 'It's time to end all of this'

Standing up she walked away and stopped at the door where Jacob and she last met

And just as she thought Jacob did appear here

Clutching the hem of her clothes Jacob smiled at her and said "Big sis Eli"

Eleri smiled and carried Jacob in her arms as she said "Let's go find the last clues, would you like to help big sis Eli?" as she said that she took out a lolipop from who knows where and gave it to Jacob

Jacob chewed on the lolipop and nodded his round head

Going inside the door Eleri looked at the window and thought 'Alright, let's test our theory'

What she did not know was that when she thought of this her hands unconsciously trembled.

*****

- Ding!

- It's night time please be aware and have a sweet dream dear dreamers also remember to stay away from the nightmares lurking in the shadow!

In aisle 90A Luc hid behind the shelves and trembled as he hugged his legs in fear

He kept muttering to himself "Please don't come here…please don't come here…"

Grrrrrrrrrr

Hearing the growl he flinched and covered his mouth

But at the corner a tall shadow appeared before him

He first thought it was the monster and started to cry but found that it was not the monster, no it was a much more terrifying creature

The Judge has come to execute him.

*****

Eleri looked out the window and saw that there was a moonlight

With trembling hands she took a deep breath before she placed down Jacob on the spoy where there is light from the moonlight

Jacob was confused and stared at her

Eleri forced a smile as she said "Just stand there for a moment"

Suddenly the moonlight became stronger and Jacob's body suddenly turned faint as if he would disappear at any moment

Fearing her thought she immediately grabbed Jacob away from the moonlight and just as she did Jacob's body returned to normal

Feeling her shaking Jacob asked "Wat wong ?"

Eleri forced a smile as she said in a low voice "It's nothing…nothing…" she hugged Jacob tightly as she felt her heart ache

She only spent little time with Jacob but she was already attached to him

Gritting her teeth she cussed in her heart

"So this is where you've been, L"

Suddenly a voice sounded through the room and Eleri immediately took a vigilant pose as she turned around

Kyle stood by the door frame as he said "So, this guy is what you've been hiding from me?"

Eleri frowned as she glared at him

Kyle examined the Jacob with his eyes as he said "He's an NPC"

[Damn it! Why did he just have to come at this time?!]

[Oh no this is bad not Kyle]

[Run Ms. Anchor!]

[She can't hide the child anymore]

Eleri just frowned as she asked "So?"

Kyle smirked as he said "So is this how you kept finding clues?"

"Also don't lie to me I can smell if people lies"

Hearing this Eleri fell into dilemma as she asked in her head 'Draven is what he said true?'

Draven: [Sorry but that information cannot be told]

"Tsk" Eleri clicked her tongue as she said "Alright ya got me, but then what?"

Kyle narrowed his eyes before suddenly--

-- He smiled and waved his hand as he said "Nothing"

Eleri: "…"

Jacob: "…"

Audience: "…"

"...Huh?" Eleri felt her brain circuit broken

Kyle smiled innocently as he said "Nothing, this is great news that we can find the exit much more earlier for extra reward"

"I won't tell Jerry or especially Luc since he looked insane about the kid but in return--"

Kyle suddenly turned cold as he added "--You can't hide anything from me anymore got it?"

Eleri felt danger as he said that. Staring at Kyle who turned to his playful self Eleri sighed as she said "Alright, how about we exchange information, but we will do it in one condition"

Kyle was interested as he asked "Oh? And what condition is that?"

[What is the anchor up to now?]

[This is exciting]

[I'm getting nervous actually Ms. Anchor is very mysterious]

Eleri smiled as she asked in her head 'Draven is "that" available right now in this game?'

Draven: [Yes.]

Nodding Eleri said "Let's use the 'Three Alethea'"

Kyle was bewildered as he asked "What?"

[What?]

[What is that?]

[I've never heard about that]

Eleri explained calmly "The 'Three Alethea' is a condition where two parties that agreed on the contract can ask three question each to each other and if one lies even for just one question--"

Crossing her thumb on her neck she said "--They immediately die"

Kyle was somehow tensed at this situation but still smiled as he said "Alright, deal"

Eleri nodded as she said "Well then" raising her index finger she said to Kyle "Copy my movements"

Kyle obediently followed and raised his index finger aswell

Eleri then said "By the God of Truth and Lies we ask to spare your power of the Three Alethea"

Suddenly golden lights appeared from their index finger as it spread into three small gray balls as they floated on top of their heads three each

"Now then" Eleri smiled as she put Jacob down and said with a smile "Who goes first?"
