"This is totally shit!"
Bumaling ako sa mobile phone na nakapatong sa phone stand ko.
"Ang daming loopholes ng game na 'to. Paano nalang kapag hindi tinapos ng isang player ang task nila, anong mangyayare?"
"Tapos sabi dito sa isang rule 'Players must eliminate all the living organisms sent by the helpers.', sinong helper ang tinutukoy nila?"
Pinalobo ni Chib ang pisnge niya at tinuro ang sarili, [Ako po siyempre, sino pa ba ang akala mong helper? Siyempre ako lang po?!] Sumigaw itong virtual chibi gamit ang matinis na boses nito.
Chibi nga lang ang taray pa, ilublob ko kaya itong phone sa tubig?
Tumango ako at naupo sa upuan ng study table ko. "Well, ngayon? Anong gagawin ko, do I have to for a task tomorrow or may gagawin akong ngayong gabi?"
Napangiti si Chib sa sinabi ko, nasasayahan ata na maglalaro na ako. Ang sabi niya isa daw siyang AI at lahat ng naglalaro nitong MTL ay may kaniya-kaniyang helpers na AI.
Pero. . . AI ba talaga sila? Kung maka-react kasi siya ay parang sa tao lamang. Nagagalit, tumatawa, nasisiyahan, kung totoong AI talaga siya ay nakakatakot na talaga ang pag-advance ng technology ngayon.
[Of course, meron po!]
Mabilis itong umikot at nag-transform na parang teacher but in a chibi form. [For your first task, you must dispose the head given by the game management in 5 five hours. And take note! Kailangan ay hindi matuklasan ng mga police kung nasaan ito!]
Nanlulumo kong tinignan ang box kung nasaan ang ulo ni Tito Gabriel at ibinalik ito kay Chib na maliwanag ang mukhang nakangiti.
[Kaya mo po ba, Ijōna-san?]
H-hindi ko kaya 'to. . . Dapat pala ay hindi ko na pinansin ito.
[Yoohoo! Ijōna-san! Hellooo~]
Pero— nangyare na ang nangyare, hindi ko na maibabalik ang buhay ko noon. Hindi ko pa alam kung anong mangyayare kung hindi ko ito matatapos.
May penalty ba itong game? Kung meron— anong klaseng penalty, is it just a light penalty or something equivalent to death?
I may have killed someone pero dahil iyon sa ayaw ko pang mamatay. Whatever this kind of sick game is this, hindi pwedeng matalo ako nito, dalawang tao na ang namatay dahil sa akin.
Kung kailangan kong maging mamamatay tao ay gagawin ko.
"Chib. . ."
"Kailan magsisimula ang Black Hours?"
