Part 4's
“For a long time not meeting Lucy...”
Hearing that voice I opened my eyes, I realized I was in a hallway. This hallway is quite familiar, I'm confused as to how I got here. The last thing I remember is that I fell into the abyss.
I tried to trace this place, I walked a few steps and this place was indeed not foreign. I walked straight through some doors. I stopped in front of the door that there was a sign of the road to the underground, I decided to avoid the place.
I was still walking until I finally found the door to the exit, I opened the door. My first impression when I opened the door. Not wrong again, this place is indeed that damn place.
A large tree in the middle of the field, a swing was installed on the branch of the big tree. The hallway, design, and number of doors are about 3 meters per door. Juya reception venue, living room. And the comfortable-looking rooms, which I'm sure are made for workers in this place..
This place is very familiar to me, and this is a place I really don't want to go to.
I slapped both of my cheeks.
“Focus! This place isn't real, I'm hallucinating.”
I try to calm myself down, if I lose control here I'm sure I won't survive. I took a deep breath and then took it out slowly, I started to feel calm. Maybe I'm not like a panic-stricken person, but I'm much more like I'm feeling very scared.
This spot. Not the place I am currently hallucinating, for me it is a painful torment, to the point that it blinds me to feel pain not only in the physical but also in the mental.
When I feel calm and able to move again suddenly a strong wind blows. The strong wind forced me to close my eyes because of the dust, my hair was blown by the wind. As soon as the wind stopped blowing I opened my eyes, I was immediately blown away by what I saw.
A woman with long black hair covering her back, wearing a dark blue shirt typical of nurses this place. He turned to the tree and slowly turned. He was wearing glasses, from behind his glasses I could see the horror of his gaze.
Without wasting any time I immediately ran, I was certain of who it was. I ran inside, I turned towards the hallway where I first came to my senses.
But the horrible woman was at the end of the hall, I immediately turned around. And he was also at the door before. I ran back away from the woman, I tried to get through the other hallway. And what kind of nightmare is this, that woman always appears in front of me, wherever I go.
I ran in all directions, but it didn't help. When I realized I couldn't go anywhere, I ended up at the entrance to the underground passage. I had to go in there.
“This horrible place,” muttered.
To the left and right of this underground chamber are very closed.
I looked around, all the rooms here were closed very tightly. I saw the door at the end, my eyes fixed on the door. The other room is completely closed, but this one is much more closed, this room is completely isolated from the outside.
I was really focused on the door, it was made of very thick iron.
I walked closer.
Krtt...!
The sound of the thick iron door moving
.
The door opened suddenly, which stunned me. After the door was fully opened, all I saw was the woman, the woman who was chasing me.
I tried to run but my body was stiff, unable to move, I couldn't even take my eyes off. It turned out that my body was bound by something black, similar to a shadow. Shadows created without any object and can move, the shadow can even appear to the surface binding hands, feet, even my head.
My body was being pulled by those shadows, those strange shadow-like things were like solid objects, those shadows were actually touching my body. “Welcome back...” The voice came from the damn woman.
The room was dark, completely dark. Unlike the previous, even though the room was closed but there was still lighting from the lights. While this place was completely closed, there was no good lighting, and the light from outside also only entered through a really small gap in the door of this room.
As I said this place is completely closed, this place also cannot be entered by many people because of poor air circulation. If for a long time the airways in this place could only hold two people, more than that the person in this room would die slowly due to lack of oxygen supply. That's how I remember the details of this horrible room.
I looked around, my eyes began to adjust to the circumstances around, but still it was difficult to see something. Although it was not clearly visible, I knew that the woman was right in front of me.
Srek...
The sound of someone lighting a wooden match.
The flame of the match approached me, because of the light from the match I could see the woman's face behind the darkness. As he approached, his face became clearer.
“No!... Stay away!” my yelling. The woman laughed knowing I was scared, she got closer.
The woman spoke, I tried not to hear her. But as hard as I tried I could still hear his voice. The woman's voice was cold, cruel, horrible. I don't know how to say it but that's what it feels like to me. I wanted to cover my ears but both my hands were held back by the strange shadows.
“... I never said you were allowed to talk Lucy..” Just hearing that my body was goosebumps, it felt like I could have lost consciousness. “... Bad boys should be punished. My little Lucy, I have to punish you.”
I feel scared, I'm totally screwed. I could see on the woman's face, horror emanated from the woman. I knew he was going to do something to me, I closed my eyes.
Soon I felt a blow to my stomach.
“Lucy! Hey awake!”
This voice, it is impossible is this a hallucination?.
I opened my eyes slowly.
My hearing wasn't lying to me, it was Olivia's voice, she was right in front of me.
“... Olivia how ka-,” when I wanted to talk I stopped because of the pain in my stomach. I held my stomach, I was able to move my hand, the strange shadows were gone as well.
Olivia approached in panic.
“Did you hit me?” my many.
Olivia threw away her face, she looked around. I'm sure he doesn't know what to say, hitting someone else all of a sudden is inappropriate.
“Before I wanted to say sorry, I was forced to do it because you just kept your head down, and you didn't respond when I talked to you, I was confused so I spontaneously hit your stomach.” Olivia explained in a tone like a sorry person, I'm sure she really wanted to apologize if heard from her tone.
I stand holding my stomach with my right hand, “Well whatever it is I thank you, you saved me again.” My speech.
“Hey Lucy, you're not a pain-loving person right?”
“Ha?”
"I don't want to say it, I mean you're not a masochist?".
It's not that I don't know what it is, it's just that it's really weird.
“Of course not, I mean earlier I was exposed to some kind of very severe hallucination.”
Olivia nodded indicating that she understood what I meant. But if I think back to what was a hallucination, but I can really feel what happened in that place.
I looked around, I realized that I was far enough away from the edge of the abyss. Although time fell I might have rolled but it couldn't have come this far. I found there were footprints behind me, it was the marks of someone running.
I stood up to check the trail, “What is this my trail?” my many. Olivia answered him with a nod.
Near my trail are other footprints. It was a military shoe trail, it was certain that it was Olivia's trail.
I checked the tracks around, there was no trace other than the two of us.
"...Hey Olivia, can the hallucinatory effects of this place be very real?"
"According to the results of research from reports of people who have been exposed to the effects of hallucinations, yes indeed."
I tried to think about it carefully, if it really could be that real, I don't think there's any need to doubt that it's just a hallucination.
"Why indeed?" ask Olivia.
"Don't forget it" Olivia looked at me suspiciously.
"What?"
"Let's forget it, we should immediately go and gather with the others in the village that is ahead."
Olivia immediately walked while the gun was ready, I followed Olivia from behind.
