Sighed, changed the sitting position and did not listen to what was taught by the teacher who was in front of them. Such was Xander's state from Alice's point of view. The girl nudged Logan's arm, who was focused on listening to the numbers that were being described up ahead. That man, to be precise Logan who was indeed Alice's classmate averted his gaze with a questioning face.
"What is wrong?" exclaimed Logan in a slightly soft voice
"I want to get out for a moment, something has been stuck in my mind for a long time!" exclaimed Alice and whispered
"Later Alice, I'm afraid something bad will happen later. My feelings have been bad!" exclaimed Logan trying to hold Alice, so that the girl did not move from her chair. The reason is, if he has a bad prejudice, then his guess will usually always be right. It's very rare to miss.
"I was just a moment Logan and your answer was wrong. Never mind, just look at my book, I've been working on it!" Alice said then immediately got up and walked forward. All the attention immediately fell on the brown eyed girl. Even when the girl came out, a pair of eyes were still staring at her. Xander, the man who looked at Alice who left during class time, it was very rare. But, the girl excused herself to go to the toilet, but why was Xander feeling a little uneasy? Xander glanced at Logan who was next to him. The man was still busy copying the tasks he could guess, it was Alice's work.
ALice POV:
Alice's steps, who should have headed to the corner of the building towards the toilet, somehow changed direction. Go up the top floor and continue up the stairs that lead to the 4th floor, an empty and uninhabited floor. Alice's hair suddenly rose, a gentle breeze caressed her face, which was odd. Alice did not feel cool with the sudden wind, but she felt the hair on her back was getting higher.
Alice stared at the floor in front of her, it seemed like something was flowing from the door in front of her. Alice took a deep breath, she swallowed her saliva. Then start walking forward, getting forward. Alice became increasingly aware that the flowing thing was red and slightly thick. Alice stopped when she was only 4 paces away from the door.
The hair on his neck was getting goosebumps up to his neck. The rancid smell immediately pierced his nose. And at that instant, Alice realized that it, the thing that was flowing was blood. Alice's hand stretched out, she tried to reach the knob with a rush of breath until something tapped her shoulder made her jump and immediately turned around,
"Hiaaaa!"
"Alice!"
Alice, who wanted to kick the figure, stopped, her gaze then fixed on Logan who crossed his arms in front of his face. Alice's hand that was ready to float finally dropped and looked back at Logan with raised eyebrows.
"Logan? X-Xander?" exclaimed Alice, slightly stammering as she noticed Xander's sharp expression and no expression on that face.
"Why did you come here Alice?". The voice from Logan distracted Alice, she looked back at Logan. "I also don't know Logan, something led me here!". Alice's voice trembled slightly and the girl immediately turned around again, looking down. To be precise about that blood flow.
"B-Blood?" exclaimed Logan when he just realized that the rancid smell wasn't coming from Alice, but from the blood below, flowing from the door in front of them.
"Get out of your way!" exclaimed Xander and immediately stood in the doorway. He sharpened his eyes and said "There's a corpse in here!" exclaimed Xander then walked back a few minutes after opening the door.
"Xander? What's wrong? Why is your face pale?" exclaimed Logan, saying with worry and immediately carrying Xander who was almost shaking. Alice was still standing in front of the door, Alice's head suddenly felt dizzy as she stared at a symbol that was engraved from blood and was right next to the girl who was lying with her body covered in wounds.
"Alice !!" Shouted Logan
Alice, who was about to step closer to the corpse, stopped and looked at Logan who shook his head. Alice sighed when suddenly she felt pain in her chest, she then turned around and rushed after Logan who was carrying Xander down.
***
"You three! Are you willing to be witnesses for this case?"
Alice, Logan and Xander stared at the headmaster who was approaching them. Logan immediately glanced at Alice who was also glancing at him. "Sorry, sir, principal, I don't think this is something we should be witnesses, because we don't know the chronology of the murder and we accidentally found it because it smelled rancid!" Logan said
"I know, the three of you are not under suspicion at all. But, I only asked you as witnesses. And you only need to tell the chronology at the office later!" said Mr.Tanaka
"I think you can see the chronology of CCTV only Mr.Tanaka!" exclaimed Alice
"If the tape is still there, I don't think I will ask for your help. But, this situation is inversely proportional to Alice, father begged you three!"
Alice and Logan who sat separated by Xander glanced at each other, the two of them also looked at Xander who seemed still pale and shocked. Xander was still silent and didn't say much, as usual.
"Sorry sir, I think you can see the state of my friend after we experienced this incident. I think you can take care of it yourself, we still have business outside of school hours, sir!" exclaimed the wise Alice and immediately got up from her seat, followed by Logan who also immediately carried his backpack.
"And we know that this could be a trap for us Mr. Tanaka, we have said what we saw and experienced. Supposedly, you should see how our friend was, sorry for this impoliteness and we ask you to resign! exclaimed Logan who immediately supported Xander and walked away. The school looked deserted, because everyone was sent home quickly and the police were already investigating the case.
Alice walked with Xander's backpack, and at Alice's suggestion, they finally decided to stop by for a moment at the supermarket near the parking lot.
"Here! Drink it, I think this drink can make you a little better!" exclaimed Alice then handed a bottle of cold drink to Xander who had been silent since earlier. Alice then took a seat next to Logan.
Xander looked at Alice and Logan, then turned to the cold drink. Xander grabbed her and looked at her, the drink that girl always bought,himself he thought to . Xander then gulped it down and it seemed like what the girl said was true, his feelings became more refreshed. From his seat, Xander turned his attention towards the two humans who were still in their world. Until Xander distracted him, he suddenly seemed to see a male figure standing and staring at them. Correction! More precisely staring at Alice, then not for long. The man's figure disappeared again.
"Don't you believe me?" exclaimed Logan who was still talking to Alice who seemed to be bending her face.
"How is that possible? Ahhh, never mind. Come on home soon! My mother will be angry if she finds out I'm still hanging around until this hour!" exclaimed Alice then immediately got up from her seat and approached Xander.
"Are you feeling better?" exclaimed Alice
"hmmm!" exclaimed Xander replied with deheman
"Well, I and Alice will be home soon Xander, how about you? Are you going to bring your own car, or are you coming with me?" offered Logan
"I think I can bring my own car, thank you!" exclaimed Xander who immediately stood up and took over his backpack that had been in Alice's grasp.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" exclaimed Alice and then looked at Xander's back, who was getting farther and farther away and disappeared behind the man's car door.
Alice sighed, "Never mind Alice, don't feel sad like that. Like you just got to know Xander, he's been like that a long time ago!" chuckled Logan who realized the look on Alice's face
"Tsk, let go of your hand Logan!" annoyed Alice tried to release Logan's arm. They continued to share laughter without realizing there was a figure staring at the two of them, more precisely looking at Alice from behind the mask she was wearing. That figure immediately disappeared when Alice had time to divert her attention.
Logan's car stopped in front of the gate to Alice's house. Actually Alice's house is similar to an old house in the past, starting from the gate that has started to moss, in front of the gate there is a strange tree that has never grown big since Logan first saw it. Then, there are some ancient statues that have faded and have never been repainted. Alice's house is terraced, but the second story is never inhabited at all. And believe me, if Alice intends to clear the gate or if she intends to go upstairs, then there will always be something happening to that girl. And that is the reason why Bertha always forbids Alice from wandering around in her house. Strange, and hard to believe.The sound of the gates opening distracted Logan, he stared at Alice in all her black clothes. The girl's favorite color. Alice could still emit her own light, though huh!
"Have you come?"Alice, Logan and Xander who had been sitting on the sofa immediately got up when they heard that voice. The figure of a middle-aged man in maroon red clothes, as well as his black robe, made the middle-aged figure feel a little different. Alice immediately felt that her hair rose as her bead met the man. But she neutralized the look on her face, she was always like this when she was with someone new to her. And - it's not good for him."Father!" said Xander while looking down, saluting the figure of the middle-aged man"Please sit down Xander and you two too!" said the middle aged figure but did not take his gaze off Alice. He felt that there was something inside the girl. something that made it difficult to escape the girl's gaze. Xander, who was aware of that, immediately coughed
Cars Hummer The newest release was parked in front of Alice's door. Logan looked at Alice who seemed still not aware that they had arrived. Logan looked back at Xander who gave him the code through his eyes. As if giving orders to awaken Alice."Alice? We're here!" exclaimed Logan while nudging Alice's shoulder"Huh? Uh-, sorry. I was just daydreaming!" Alice said a little surprised then opened her seat belt and immediately opened the car door next to her. "Ahh yeah, thanks for the ride Logan. And see you tomorrow Logan, Xander. I'll go first!" Alice exclaimed as she flashed her a smile and immediately closed Logan's front door when there was no answer. Logan started to turn the
Alice stared at the snow falling on her hair, her breath warm and smoky. She didn't think that it was the end of the year and that meant there would be Christmas, there would be a lot of Christmas cakes. And as usual, there will be lots of Christmas clothes and decorations on display in everyone's home. Alice exhaled and immediately noticed that the steam from Alice's mouth was trying to warm her body. She turned around and looked at his house. Because Alice's current position was standing in front of the gate of her house, waiting for someone.No, Alice wasn't complaining about her house. The house is quite spacious and luxurious. However, when you think about it, Alice's house is just down the road and has no neighbors. High gates that limit each side, there are never decorations and no Christmas trinkets every year.Huhhhhhhh Loudly
"He's all right, it's just that he looks like he's in shock!" "Okay Doc, thanks!" exclaimed Logan, but it was different with Xander who only leaned his body against the wall which was not far from Alice's bed. Since they entered, the man had not made much of a sound. Only focused on looking at Alice who was still lying unconscious on the bed. "Fine, I'll go first. I still have something to take care of, when he wakes up. Give him something to eat and a warm drink!" "Okay doc!" "Then I'll excuse myself!" Logan stared at the doctor's back, which had disappeared behind the door. He glanced slightly at Xander who was still leaning against the door and seemed to be in his own world, no longer looking at Alic
"Hey, Yah! You said we were going to have hot chocolate!" Alice grumbled once they were in Logan's living room which was completely empty, as if there was no life at all. Even when they arrived in front of the man's house, Logan had to press several times. And chose to jump the fence and open the gate from the inside. Made both Alice and Xander introspective earlier. More afraid if something bad happened to Logan's parents. Of course we were worried, because lately our lives have been full of terror. No one knows if it was meant for us, but, I guess it was meant for us.Having strange powers wasn't a good thing, as the three of us could notice that we were definitely different from normal humans.Alice looked at Logan annoyed,while the young man just scratched the
**********Chapter 9 ||∙I Can't Hear You∙||*********Alice shook her head, trying to get out of the dark room that kept her in shackles. No matter how far Alice ran, that was how far the shadow chased her. Until, in the end. Alice stopped and stared at the figure as she heaved her chest up and down, gasping for air. The most terrifying figure he had ever seen, and a figure similar to the one he had seen at school. Alice tries to find Xander and Logan. However, it seemed that he was alone in this dark room. Together with the terrifying figure that followed him wherever he ran.Alice looked from side to side, as if she had never been in a place like this. The first and truly terrible experience, especially Alice did not find out where her two best friends were.
Part 10 ||∙Heart hanging∙||Hoss....hoss...hoss... Thecaughtgirl's breath, she stopped running and stood in front of their classroom. Lyra, the girl looked at the feel of their class that felt so horror. Thinking, whether he should enter or not. However, if he doesn't come in then his cellphone will remain in their classroom. With great consideration, Lyra was about to leave the door when she sensed another aura around her.Lyra shook her head, she started to open their classroom door. And enter their class. Their classroom was completely dark and there seemed to be other auras as well. Is it true that what Logan said is true? Did that guy ever come back to their class at night? Because their class at night was completely different from their classroom atmosphere during the day. When she passed the f
The ticking of the clock ticked with the sound of a figure sleeping on the bed. The tube is attached to his nose, the monitor next to him shows a steady heartbeat. The door opened, and the sleeping figure came to its senses.Slowly, he opened his heavy eyes. Then with effort, he turned his neck toward the door. Toby felt his body stiffen as he looked into Almond's eyes staring at him from the doorway. The grin on the figure's face made Toby even more panicked.His hand was trying to reach something on the table. But it was just a waste of time, because Toby couldn't move his bandaged body.The approaching footsteps forced Toby to stop trying to pick up the object. With his body shaking violently, he looked back at the Almond-eyed figure with cold sweat.
"Are you sure he's harmless, Lio?"Distracts me from the book, and the map in my hand. I turned and looked at Barbara who had entered the room without permission. Sitting across the table, watching the maps I just made.“You shouldn't have put this as bait, you know? Horses are more interesting than pawns!” Bara's hand moved the horse pin that I had placed on the north side.“No more challenging than the garuda!”Barbara sighed. “Obviously…because you are the eagle!”I raised my lips, smiling faintly as I read the arrangement I had made in my notebook. After the trouble at headquarters, I decided not to move at all. Quite simply, I need a few more people extra, and don't want anyone
Brough—Lio's body was thrown a few meters back. Half the room was destroyed due to Lio and Li Wei's intense fight.Li's grin grew wider, as he looked at Lio who was under his feet. Li's foothold is getting stronger, making Lio also show off a row of neat teeth.“Finally I have this opportunity too, do you think you can find the headquarters? That will never happen. Because you will be exterminated, you are unworthy, you are Toby's greatest failure. He should have listened to me to crush you earlier!”cough-Liovomiting blood, his gaze remained fixed straight to Li. He didn't think that Li was so much stronger. Looks like what Max said, is true. There w
Yuwen POVI'm stuck in an unknown state. With another figure, I do not recognize at all. And right now, I'm stuck in the same atmosphere as them. In a dimly lit room.“As far as I know, the headquarters is on Lamma Island. It was the new headquarters center after the chaos of the past few years. Everything is changing, everything is becoming more sophisticated, and it is becoming more dangerous.”From Barbara's brief explanation—the woman who was almost killed by Lio, I understand a little of the current situation. Though actually, I don't know what Alan is talking about. But I just sat in the most comfortable corner."How tight?" asked Emilio, he took a puff of his tobacco and stared at the center of the map that was being finished in the middle of the table. The l
The room was completely covered in blood when Emilio stepped foot in it. The window glass was broken, everything inside was like a broken ship. And, Emilio didn't find Teresa, and Barbara was everywhere. Emilio's breath was still ragged after running just now."I didn't find any trace of them either, apart from this house, there's absolutely no trace of blood outside. These dogs don't give any clues either!" Alan said, looking at me with a shake of his head.My hands clenched into fists, Yuwen who had just entered the living room also shook his head. “There are no traces in the backyard, but I did find the ground slightly scuffed. It looks like it's a used car!”I quickly headed for the gate, then stopped under a tree. The grass below seems to blend with the mud from the rain. The car marks were still im
"Lio is gone, I told you that Yuwen, that idiot is really good at distracting him."Li Wei, who was smoking his tobacco, stared at the car Emilio and Alan were riding away from his sight. Li's hand took the knife from behind the dashboard of the car.“Who owns this car? This seems quite familiar to me!”“It belongs to Emilio, there are many cars like that. Several times I saw him driving that car!” Frank replied. He took some tobacco out of his pocket and looked at Li Wei who was a little hesitant."Are you sure?"Frank nodded. “I know him better than you, he has been my subordinate for the past 10 years. How could I not know him?”Before descen
“How are you going to explain this to me, Lio? I trusted you, but you and Teresa just disappeared like this. As your friend, I'm also disappointed that you didn't involve me in that!"“Food is coming!” Teresa shouted from the living room.Hearing that, I quickly got up from the living room and headed for the dining table. No one puts food second."Join us for a meal first, if you were his friend, you shouldn't be asking why he didn't tell you, right?"Barbara, who had been listening to the conversation, did not take part, just sat and watched the development of information from her subordinates. Outside, the roar of the thunder was getting louder and louder.It didn't subside, but it just got worse.
Emilio POV“Miss!”Barbara raised her hand, then entered an unobtrusive building. Fall leaves fill the grass field. Barbara continued to walk, someone opened the door from inside the house, as soon as they saw the arrival of the young woman.“Barbara, just tell Emilio if I want to talk to him!”"Okay miss, please sit down first. I will summon Sir Emilio here!”“Wait a minute, is he with Teresa?”The maid narrowed her eyes, but still nodded politely, "That's right miss, what's wrong?""No, just call him!"Barbara didn't sit down, she stared
Alice was in a coma for three days, during which Xander continued to accompany the girl. Xander's condition was much better than before. He was able to move freely even though it was still within the allotted time. Xander is still not allowed to move more than 10 hours per day, as he is still recovering.It's different with Logan who has returned to school, Logan has also explained the reason why they haven't been to school for the past few weeks. Even if it means they will miss their midterm exams. However, according to Logan, the principal could give them a follow-up exam so they wouldn't be late in their graduation. With a condition, the three of them must participate in the international NAMO MATH competition. One of the prestigious MIPA competitions in the school world. Not wanting to get into more trouble, Logan finally agreed.Xander sat in front of Alic
