Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Hearing this Kyle tensed up as he said to Eleri "Let's not do this--"

"I agree"

"Huh?!" Kyle looked at Eleri in disbelief as Eleri agreed so easily

"Hoy didn't you just heard what I said? Let's not play he has something up his sleeves!"

Eleri denied it as she said "No, we have the common liking and mind, I already know what game he wants us to play"

Kyle: "And that is?"

"You will be playing a murder mystery game" Dion said as he walked towards them

Dion then took out a book from thin air as he waved it and said "You two will be transported in this book I created myself and will be solving a murder case, once you found out who the murderer is you will instantly come back here how about it?"

Kyle was hesitant but Eleri's eyes gleamed as she said "Alright"

"L!" Kyle screamed in shock

Eleri just looked at him from the corner of her eyes as she said "If you don't want to I can just go in by myself"

Kyle was dumbfounded before he laughed angrily and said "Fine I'll come along"

Dion nodded as he said "Good, well then I'll start now, the time limit is only two hours in that world while in this world it is already 20 hours"

As he said that the book opened by itself as white lights emitted from it and devoured both Eleri and Kyle

Dion smiled as he said "Alors a bientot dans les 20 prochaines heures" (Well then see you in the next 20 hours)

*****

Opening her eyes Eleri felt a gust of cold wind blew pass her and she shivered as she said "Huh, why is it so cold--"

"Oh… now I see why"

Turning around she saw a broken window as strong snow storm erupted from outside

Looking around she saw that she was all alone inside a bedroom

She then looked down as she felt something wet and saw blood on her hands

'Blood?'

She was confused but she wiped off the blood with a handkerchief from who knows where

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Suddenly she heard a scream and immediately went towards the sound

Looking at a corridor she looked around and saw that on the right side there were people gathered agt a certain door, there she also saw Kyle and she walked towards them

Seeing her coming over Kyle turned as he shook his head and sighed

Eleri asked "What's wrong?"

Kyle just shrugged as he pointed his chin inside the room

Eleri was confused and looked at the direction as she widened her eyes

Inside the room was a dead body all bloody leaning against a wall as on top of him there were words written on the wall

The words were all red probably written using the victim's blood as they wrote on the wall [Your next]

Seeing this Eleri frowned in disgust as she suddenly thought of something and thought 'Blood? Didn't I also just woke up with bloods in my hands?'

Just as she was confused a girl screamed and cried as she muttered "We're dead, we're dead"

Suddenly both Eleri and Kyle raised their heads as they saw something written on top of the girl's head

[Music Idol]

They looked at each other before looking at the other people present

[Doctor]

[Forensic]

[Soldier]

Eleri looked at Kyle and saw that he also has a word written on his head [Police]

Kyle also looked at Eleri as he whispered "You're a detective"

[Detective]

Seeing this Eleri was surprised a she thought 'This game is interesting'

"Someone killed him, can you identify if there are handprints left on his body?" Kyle asked the forensic

The forensic nodded and step forward to the corpse but just as he did Eleri noticed something and tried to stop him but was too late

Ziiippp

Thud

"Ahhhhhh!"

The body of the forensic fell to the ground as a line of blood appeared on his neck

Kyle frowned as he said "String?"

Eleri grumbled as she thought 'Great now the forensic is dead'

The soldier was the next to speak as he said "I don't think we should get close to body for now"

No one spoke but everyone agreed in their hearts

Eleri clicked her tongue as she said "I'll go first" saying that she left the scene and went exploring in the other rooms

As she entered one of the rooms she saw a wall clock and saw that it was 9pm

Touching her chin she thought 'Based on the body it was still fresh so the victim died probably around 8 to 8:30pm'

'But the question is, why did the killer killed the victim in the first place and even seemed that would kill us all?'

Thinking of this she grabbed a pen and paper from the drawer and wrote all the information she know so far

[Death Toll: 2

Case Overview: - The first victim died by being stabbed by a sharp object probably a dagger or a fruit knife. The second victim died from the trap set up by the killer…

Reason for killing: (Unkown)

Suspects: Music Idol/ Doctor/ Soldier/ Police/

Situation: Stuck inside an abandoned shelter in the middle of a strong storm with a killer among the survivors.]

Reading these she heaved a deep sigh dissatisfied with the result as she looked at the time and thought 'There's only two hours for us to find the murderer'

She then remembered the blood in her hands before that was definitly not hers and immediately took out the handkercheif she used to wipe the blood off

Seeing that it was still in her pocket she sighed in relieved before she hid it back and was about to back to the crime scene when--

"Ahhhhh!"

Bang!

Bang!

Hearing gunshots Eleri froze as she immediately ran towards the sound

When she arrived at the corridor she saw such a scene that shocked her

Both the soldier and the doctor were dead as the music idol was holding a gun in her hands

The music idol trembled as she cried and said "I- I didn'gt do it' I s- swear p- please believe me"

Seeing that Eleri still had an indifferent expression the music idol thought she doesn't believe her, from fear she screamed as she aimed the gun at Eleri "I didn't killed them!"

With a 'click' the trigger was pulled and just as Eleri had no time to dodge a hand grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back as someone blocked the bullet for her

"Puek!"

Kyle coughed out blood as he fell on his knees

"Kyle!"

Shiiingggggg

As purple lightning emitted from her hand it dashed towards the music idol

Boom!

Thud

The music idol died as she fell to the ground

Eleri looked at Kyle and saw the bullet hit his heart

Eleri's eyes widened in horror as she tremblingly said "K-Kyle…"

"L, the case…finish…it…" As he said his final words he fell in Eleri's embrace

Eleri's eyes shook violently as she lowered her head

Tick Tock

Draven: [Eleri, he can still be saved]

Hearing Draven Eleri looked up and asked "How?"

Draven: [Finish the game and he can still be resurrected]

Hearing this Eleri hesitated before she stood up as she lowered Kyle's body slolwy and gently on the ground

"I'll be back" She said as she immediately went to the crime scene

Her purple eyes glowed as she said "Eradicate"

Shiiinggggg!

Boom!

Suddenly all of the strings in the room were revealed as it all burned from her lightning

Walking towards the corpse coldly she crouched down and compared the blood on the corpse and her handkerchief

She asked "Draven is the blood the same?"

Draven: [Confirmed it is]

Eleri nodded as she took a deep breath and looked up

Opening her mouth she said "The murderer for this game is--"
