章節 3: Unexpected
(Noah's POV)
How many times did he do this? He had already lost count after his twentieth. Repeating this endless circles.... he was now immune to pain. The first time he died and returned, he though the heavens were giving him another chance... but... now he felt like he was loosing his sanity. Or maybe, he already did.
He woke up on his same black bed again, Opened his blinds and saw the same sight. The first time this happened, he tried his best to save everyone. After failing many times, he even tried running outside before the whole building got closed off, but the last thing he remembered was meeting the soft rain and returning. The farmers he went was successfully getting rescued out of this building.
He glanced out at his alarm clock, "11:32 AM" he waited for a few moment until the time turned to 11:33 and his phone buzzed.
[???: please remain in your home and don't go out of the building, I don't have much time but-] his phone had a new message up now: 'no signal'
The building sounded an alarm, announcing that they are closing the building off from any outsiders coming in, also blocking anyone from going out. Shortly after that, came the rain and screams of horrified people from the window. He was also immune to the painful screams of people outside now.
He sat up and got ready to go out of his apartment.
-----
The silent hallway greeted him, he didn't look around much since he already knows what he has to do. He made a short turn at the hallway, meeting a broken door.
"Ah!!!! Oh, it's not what you think I'm doing! I needed food and..." a man wearing a green shirt said, trying to explain.
"It's fine, it seems like nobody is in there anyway." He repeated the exact lines he said about a hundredth times.
He quickly walked a few more until he met the apartment 903, he knocked and a woman carefully opened the door. "U-uh... can I help you?"
"Mind if I can get some foods?"
"Sure." The woman passed some bread, quickly closing the door again.
Now he was set to go down, he grabbed the key card that was hanging next to the elevator and got in.

Welcome to the fifth floor, we have a total guest of one today.]
A sharp smell of rust struck his nose the moment elevator opened. The hall was covered with blood and bodies appearing frequently. He stopped by a man with brown hair, wearing a orange jacket. He slightly tapped the man, "are you fine?"
"eeek! I'm dead, totally dead" the man let out a low fright.
"....."
"Oh your not him" the man relaxed once he saw Noah's face.
"What happened here?"
"There was a huge fight between everyone for supplies, one man grabbed an axe...." the man's face paled, remembering what happened. "I thankfully survived due to acting dead."
"Your name?" Noah already knew, but it would be weird if he knew it.
"Rowan"
"Do you know where the man who did this went?" Another question he knew.
"It's the third room after that corner"
Noah slowly walked, he grabbed the small kitchen knife he got before coming here. His hand reached out, opening the door and... the man that was in the other side of the door was surprised, pointing at Rowan. "You were supposed to be dead!"
Noah used the moment he was surprised to opened the large window. The rain immediately rushing in, Noah already hid himself behind the boxes. The man shrieked until he slowly turned. He grabbed Rowan and ran to the elevator, "you have the keycard right?"
"Yes! Why?-"
"Use it now"
The elevator door quickly closed... the window to that room still opened.... (that's the source where the leak in the file room came from)
While the elevator was going, Rowan explained how he have to find his little sister.
She should be in the kindergarten located in the second floor.

Welcome to the second floor, we have three guests today]
This floor has three doors with three different color, door on the right was clocked with heavy furnitures while the other two were all open. They went inside the left room and saw a young girl sitting on a chair. Rowan immediately rushed to her. "Ruby! Where is Mia? Have you seen her?"
The girl answered, "she was with us.... but she got injured while trying to stop a kid that turned into a monster... a man came and introduced himself as a doctor. He said he will fix her, so the man took her."
"Third floor, we need to go to the third floor" Rowan stood up and was about to leave the room when a robot came in.
"I see we have a guest." Half of the robot's face was broken, more like a claw mark. even his green paint was coming off of some parts. Behind him were other three-four kids.
Noah remembered the small metal parts he saw on the hall.
"Our teacher's turned like that while trying to save us." Another girl said as if she read his mind.
"You see... there's no one that can look after those kids, the oldest here is 12." The robot's metallic voice sounded. Even though this floor is a kindergarten, each rooms are sorted into grades.
Suddenly, a small tv that was hanging on the wall turned on. On the now turned on screen, stood our apartment's superintendent.
[I detected some people going around floor to floor, there's a reason why it's closed. Please remain safe in your rooms. Oh By the way, we lost controls of the robots... so if you see one, destroy it. We don't know when it will go berserk and cause harm]
All eyes turned to the robot teacher.
"Your not going to kill him are you? He'll definitely not go crazy! He got hurt while trying to save us!" Ruby said.
"Don't worry, we won't kill him. Come on Rowan, let's go to the third floor" Noah waved his hand and went on.
They got on the elevator, clicked the third floor button. But an alarm sounded instead.
[forcing the elevator to stop, please stop moving around floor to floor. Inspecting error-...]

Welcome to the seventh floor, we have two guests today]
----
Noah searched each apartments he knew it contained supplies and was about to get back when he saw someone. He paused.... the man had blue hair and yellow eyes... soon, another man came out of another apartment. The second man he recognized as Liam... but the first man... this is different from what happened. He was supposed to meet Liam in the third floor, not the seventh... and he wasn't supposed to meet the blue haired man at all. Should we feel alarmed that things were different? But it only gave him an exciting feeling. "You guys are?"
"This guy right here is Reian, and I'm Liam"
"Do you guys mind joining us to find his little sister?" Noah smiled gently.
"Sure."
