Chapter 9 - The building where everyone is in it

The next day early morning , Randio headed to his work . No interaction happened between him and Stal because Stal pretended to be a sleep .

After making sure that Randio left , Stal went out of the house immediately and headed to supermarket's dormitory . He wanted to change to his own clothes instead of Randio's which were a bit baggy .

As soon as he reached the building , he double-checked that everyone went to work , then sneaked into his room so as to not get caught .

Later on , after changing his clothes , he took some money for the taxi fare to go to that strange building he went to earlier .

Stal described the route as far as he could recall , and when they got closer , he got off the taxi and continued on foot . He walked for about 30 minutes till he reached his destination . That time he entered normally , but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster . He was anxious of what could happen throughout the whole time.

The shield signified that behind it , was just a forest , no more no less . That shield was impenetrable . It made any person circulate around it automatically without being aware , but it opens only to specific people .

The moment Stal approached the shield , it opened like the previous time and after he got in , it closed automatically .

It took Stal three minutes of walking to reach the building ; it was exactly as Stal remembered . It had two floors , the top floor was in orange , the ground floor was in yellow , the roof was in green , and three stairs stuck to the building . Two stairs on the sides and one on the back ; the stairs on the sides lead to the second floor , and the stairs on the back lead to the roof . Stal went to his left where the stair on the right side was . He got into the room where he was earlier , but this time the door was locked . After that , he spotted a girl down there . She was apparently in her mid-twenties with red hair , but some of her front hair was stuck onto her face and cannot be removed . They formed something like tattoo lines .

Stal recognized her as soon as he saw her ,

" You're Mira! The girl from the dream ."

Mira heard him but didn't answer till she went up and stood next to him ,

" What do you mean by 'the girl from the dream' ??! Have you started dreaming of me after our first encounter? "

Stal was certain that he had never met her before ,

" As far as I know , this is the first time I meet you ."

Mira unlocked the door and entered the room as she spoke to Stal ,

" Don't you remember?! We went together along with some people on a mission with David , then I got a call from the chairwoman regarding another mission that I have to carry out , so I left you . That was our first encounter . I'm lucky I left , or maybe I would've been killed like them ."

Stal was troubled and wanted to know more information , so he continued asking after getting into the room ,

" What do you mean!? Wasn't it the serial killer , Caster , that kill David and the other husbands ? What mission are you talking about and who are these people that went to this mission ? "

Mira got astounded because Stal did not remember anything . She looked very shocked ,

" You really don't remember anything , do you? First and for most , the serial killer could not kill them , cause he is already dead . Secondly , It's so strange that you're asking these questions and not something like , what's this place . Lastly , you will find answers with the chairwoman . You can call her , she is waiting for you ."

Mira headed to the other door that led to the inside of the building , opened it and left , but before she closed the door she stepped back a little , and asked sarcastically ,

" Do you remember the number you will call , or did you forget that too? "

Stal told her that he remembered the number, so she left and closed the door behind her .

He went directly to the phone , but he sitated for a bit before calling . He was frozen in his place , deep in thoughts for two minutes, then he called the number 140 , the same girl and voice answered him ,

" Hello , Stal . Mira just called and told me that you don't remember anything ."

He was confused as he couldn't figure from where should he start because there were a lot of questions in his mind , but the most important one was David and his death ,

" When I came here earlier, you told me about a mission regarding David, and I fell asleep instantly without getting to know what was it . Then after a day , I found myself sleeping in a trash box at one of the alleys . I heard of David's death , and saw myself covered in blood . There's a whole day that I cannot come to remember . That's the case , would you tell me what the hell has happened and what's that mission ? I'm losing my sanity now , so hurry up and answer me before I go insane . "

Two days earlier

After David's small talk with Stal, he went straight to the strange building and got up to the second floor using the left stairs .

That floor was consisted of four large rooms , in addition to the small room that Stal entered . There was a hall in the middle where there were two rooms in the front and two rooms in the back and in between there was a very long hall . The four rooms and the hall are 80% of the whole building , as the other 20% was in the right side , where it was Stal's room and next to it , a room that was extended to the end of the building from the back . That room was the chairwomen's ; no one ever except for her had entered it before . As for the ground floor , there it had nothing inside , it was like one pile of rocks .

When anyone enters through the right side , he will find the room Stal was in before , but when he enters from the left side , he will find a narrow hallway , that can hold only two people . In front of the hallway , there's a wall , the hallway is opened from the right side only from the perspective of the person entering it .

The hallway leads to the middle of the building , where the hall separates the four rooms ; the design of the four rooms was identical . There were two windows in each room , as well as to a fifth window that has a half in the room on the right side and the other half in the room on the left side . So, the total number of the windows is ten . The positions of the windows are also identical , if there was nothing that separate them , by a wall or anything else, it would've been clear that there is five holes in the building not ten windows .

The shape of the building from the front was identical to what's in the back except that that there was a stair in the back , but in the front there weren't any stairs.
