Chương 62: White Room

Theria noticed Elia's face that was beginning to turn white.

That woman is not the fourth by any means the strongest, but she is the one who reminds Elia of determination. She connected the common thread between Bibi's innocence and the blood flowing in her body. Then the fourth one....Theria guess in mind

"She was carrying a bow and an arrow," Elia said exactly the same as Theria's conjecture.

"She wears a black mask, while the other one wears a white mask. I think they're the Dalang's trustees."

No, you're wrong Elia, said Theria in silent. He kept it in mind because thinking that the time was not right to tell Elia.

"Who are they? Why are they so ruthless to me? Don't tell me that I will see them again."

"Did they say anything?"

"Nothing. They just watched me stuck in a rock. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the white room with Dalang sitting leisurely reading a book," Elia mentioned it as mentioning the pandemic.

Elia began to imagine herself as a source of data. Then realized what Theria was doing was the same as her personal trainer did. The person asks things related to physical condition, what she eats, and bedtime. All of that is needed to make the right training menu for her in order to maintain body fitness. So without being asked by Theria she began to explain what was happening in the white room in a weak voice.

"I woke up in the white room. I thought I was dead and would never come back. I also think that you are conspiring to kill me. When I wake up, I'm eager to vent my anger on the Dalang or anyone else who can be my venting place, but can't, I'm too tired, I lose all my energy, I even wake up in a state of...."

Elia swallowed her own words.

"Before I came out, I got a warm drink from inside the bamboo. I probably survived because of that, my dry throat, my dehydrated body, everything was saved by that warm drink. Ah anyway, the atmosphere inside there is very confusing. What exactly is the point of it all? I know I do want to kill Bibi and I deserve to be warned that killing humans is wrong. But you have to know, she is not a human being, she is a monster! That's why I told Dalang to lend me power!"

Elia began to speak loudly and quickly.

"After that he said you and Melianor would take care of me, then he pushed me out of there. Everything happened very quickly."

"What does Dalang's face look like?"

Elia couldn't believe hearing the question from Theria before she even had time to take a breath from her last sentence. In addition, she thought Theria already knew Dalang. The question made her suspect that Theria didn't know Dalang's face and didn't know him well.

"He... he didn't... , I mean I can't see his face, he wears a white mask, I can only see his eyeholes. I couldn't see his eyeballs from either hole."

Elia got goosebumps when she explained. Everytime trying to give more detail, she felt that something bad would happen. Her voice became more and more soft and depressed the power of another dimension.

"If you ask how the aura is... which is obviously... he made me feel I would not be able to fight him, not now as well as later, he was like the master of the Ruang Hampa, his existence accompanied by that music, I felt the impression, he was both tangible and intangible. He can eliminate things as you do, and... I don't know how I should describe him!"

"That's already good," Theria's voice was as flat as his face.

"Good?"

Elia's head screeched and her two eyebrows pressed together in the middle of her forehead.

"What does that mean?"

"It's been good you can remember about it that much. Now you must be curious about who he is, who the four women are, and also the meaning of all this," Theria said calmly.

The look in Theria's eyes looked more friendly now. The rapid change was enough to make Elia's heart relieved to feel the Theria that he could approach easily. The friendly and open Theria are back.

"Are you now going to ask questions or choose to rest, take a shower and sleep first?"

Theria expressed it like a friendly host welcoming tourist guests at his inn.

Elia was impressed by his unpredictable attitude. The experience of facing a different Theria made Elia warn herself, don't mess with Theria. He can kill with a smile on his face.

"I want to ask you a question. I want to do the rest option later," Elia replied. I don't hesitate anymore. I don't want to back down anymore since I was in that white room. I'm just embarrassed to reveal everything and afraid of being judged. Now that I knew they were going to do the same to Bibi made me not want to give up the opportunity to kill Bibi with my own hands, that's why....

"Teach me everything you know so that I can kill her. How long will it take until my success reaches one hundred percent?" Elia uttered it aloud and boldly.

Theria smiled. With his handsome face he revealed a devilish smile in a few seconds. Then, he just said, "It depends on you."

No more discussion. Theria's answer makes it clear who has the primary responsibility for the success or failure of Elia's plan, that person is only Elia, herself. Theria and others are the supporting factors, the impetus in charge of providing the stimulus, but if she hesitates in the middle and then does not want to continue, then put on the preparation or not, the result is still failure.

"I'm not going to back down. Now it's not just a personal grudge. I have another reason to find her, if she is indeed have a twin, then she should tell me who is the mother who has given birth to me and raised me all these years, who although rarely present in my life, at least she has tried to smile sincerely at me," Elia said with a grudgeful look.

"I understand, that's why you didn't manage to kill her alone. Your perception of her is split."

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't it when you see her that you feel helpless because you remember her sincere smile?"

Elia couldn't look at Theria now. "Yes, I have indeed tried repeatedly, every time she comes I try to kill her, but I fail because I see her smile."

"You develop suggestions within you and deflect your own bad memories, but your subconscious often rebels, you become increasingly overwhelmed," Theria explains a condition that Elia does not want to admit.

There was a sense of frustration that Elia desperately wanted to uproot to reach the roots of her heart. All this time Elia harbored feelings of affection and cruelty at the same time from one person. Now when Elia heard that there was a possibility of twin Bibi, she came to hope that someone who smiled sincerely at her was not a person who was cruel to her.

"That being the case, what should I do to successfully kill the monster?" Elia asked resignedly.

"When you're going to do it, remember how you did it in the Ruang Hampa."

That's a very clear clue, Elia thought. So, I just need to remember that she is not a human being.

"You're afraid you're going to falter?"

Theria asked after reading Elia's expression.
