Chapter 11: Chased! (Chapter 11)
In the previous Chapter 10,
Joe quickly goes inside. 'Hmm... How do I close this door? There isn't any doorknob. Oh, yeah it slides open by itself. There must be a close button.'
Joe quickly puts the lady on the floor. He quickly finds the button. 'Huh? There isn't any button!'
Suddenly Joe hears some sounds outside.
Joe does not know what to do he panics.
It seems the walls are all luminous lights.
Joe doesn't know what is what? It seems like this is something new to me. How do I press this?
Joe anyhow presses the wall luminous lights.
"Huh?" When Joe presses the wall luminous lights. There are a lot of changes inside the room.
Joe is shocked and panicked at the same time.
The sounds are coming closer.
Joe press!
The door shut by itself.
Joe sighs. Joe thinks, 'This is worse than battle in the field.'
"Huh? Where is the lady?"
Joe looks around, but he can't find her.
Another person disappeared.
Joe is now alone in the room. Joe remembers pressing the wall luminous lights and there are a lot of changes inside the room.
This room is not normal but I cannot leave now someone was approaching just now. The person might be at the door waiting for me to get out.
Joe finds 5 canned tomatoes, 8 canned tuna, 10 water bottles, 20 biscuits, and 5 instant noodles. There is a kettle.
Ah! I can boil water and eat instant noodles.
Wow, Joe quickly grabs the water bottles, biscuits, canned tomatoes, and tuna and put them in the bag.
Joe quickly boils the hot water and opens the instant noodles. There are utensils too on the table.
Joe thinks there must be someone staying here but since I am in a surviving mode, I have no choice but to eat and replenish energy.
While eating the instant noodles Joe opens the tuna and quickly eats them.
Joe sits and looks at the wall of luminous lights.
Joe thinks just now this room doesn't look like this. 'Which button did I press? The on and off button for the door?'
After I eat, I have to check. Or else I will be stuck inside here.
Joe takes a look at the instant noodle it tastes so delicious.
In Joe's mind, when I go out I will buy this and eat.
Joe looks at the surrounding.
This place looks like a room but it's also a workplace.
There is a bed and a bathroom.
Later I should bathe.
Joe quickly eats finished and bathes.
Coming out of the bathroom, he quickly belts up the weapons and carries the back bags.
Now it's time to find the button on the wall of luminous lights for the door.
"Huh?"
Joe heard some footsteps walking past his room.
Joe leans against the door.
Slides open!
Someone grabs Joe's arm and pushes him inside!
'Ah? Who grabs me? Why is this room suddenly so dark?'
Joe punched in the air. He can't see because the room is dark.
The person managed to grab Joe's hands.
"Why are you here?"
"Who are you?"
"You shouldn't be here!"
"Ah?"
Joe fainted.
By the time, Joe wakes up. He looks around.
'I am still in the cabin? Who was that? Oh, the Instant noodles I ate I still remember the taste.' (In Joe's mind.)
Joe quickly opens his front backpack to see the items he packed in the bag: water bottles, biscuits, canned tomatoes, and tuna.
Joe is stunned!
"Huh? If it was a dream, I couldn't have brought these things with me."
This is paranormal!
'What did I do before I got there?' (In Joe's mind.) Joe thinks 'I went to the next cabin then oh there was a blue light shining in the cabin.'
Joe remembers blue light coming from a fragment of crystal on the floor and he keeps the crystal in his front bag. There were some sounds like a beep coming inside the crystal before he was in that room.
Joe quickly digs into his front bag to check if the crystal is there.
Joe grabs the crystal and it's still shining blue light but this time there is no sound.
Joe puts the crystal nearer to his ear.
'Hmm... Why now no sound? How do make it sound? Wait the beep sound must be coming from the screen shows a bar maybe it's a low battery prompting. But it can be heard in this crystal it must be connected to that world.' (In Joe's mind.)
The food and drinks can be brought out of that world meaning if they created anything it also can be brought out. Joe suddenly has goosebumps just thinking this.
Joe holding the crystal, at least I am relieved now that the place is nowhere to hide. 'Who is that man he can port me back here? He must have some kind of power or something.'
Now Joe has more food and drinks that can last for some time.
Joe is still curious about these things. He thinks if he can find out more information about it could solve the liquid crystal blue tube and the lady who has the liquid crystal blue tube. If this is the same liquid crystal then what is this used for? An antidote or this is the item for a $10 million contract final product?
If this is the $10 million final product then I can be a millionaire. But I wouldn't know who is the person hired to do this project.
Oh, yeah I better put properly the lady liquid crystal blue tube in the metal box for protection. Now it's 6 tubes.
Joe looked at the metal box design, it seems to have 4 missing tubes. Joe closed the metal box and keep in the backpack.
Joe thinks if he can bathe frequently it would be good. (He likes to be clean.)
Joe thinks he shouldn't worry because if there is water in the bag he can still sponge himself. Joe thinks he should use it sparingly.
While Joe thinks about all these things, there is a sound coming from the next cabin.
Suddenly a loud knock on the door.
Joe looks intensely at the door.
"Joe, are you still there? Open up the door!"
Joe thinks it sounds like Robert, but if I let him in will he gunpoint me again?
Joe hesitates to open the door. Joe thinks Robert is my best friend.
Joe opens the door.
Robert is all wet, he seems to be scared and trembles.
What has occurred to him? (In Joe's mind.)
Robert says, "I have been close to near death. Why are you there too?"
"What are you talking about?"
Robert says, "I saw you carrying a lady just now."
Joe is stunned. "She is injured and I help her. She disappeared when I put her on the floor."
"Huh? Disappeared again?"
Joe asks, "Where have you been just now I was looking for you but you disappeared after you fell, I put you on the floor."
Robert says, "It's weird when I woke up you're not here. I try to get up but something sucks me in. Then the moment when I open my eyes I am in a different place. I saw you but I dare not call you because you're with the lady. I followed you and saw you enter a room. Then I saw something horror it was ugly and looked like a zombie but it was not, it has the sense of being human. I barely escape because it's running after me. I don't know how come when I pass by a room I ended up here again."
Joe says, "It sounds weird but can you elaborate later regarding the ugly thing that chased after you."
Robert says, "I remembered that thing has a blue bangle on his hand."
Joe says, "Anything else?"
"Not I can remember because I was in a hurry to run."
