A THOUSAND TUNNELS CHANGED EVERYTHING
_ Chapter 9_
...(.(.Who is that man?)...
-
Everyone was still arguing by maintaining their individual arguments.
“How can I guess a puzzle, now I also have to face empty talk and debate you guys” his mind sees a group of people still arguing.
Because he felt like he really didn't find a clue. Meyla looked down at her feet to see what was currently incomprehensible. The water had already exceeded his head if he stood quietly. Now he is floating. So he tried to look again at the water under his feet, who knew something was stored.
Looking at the water, what he found was not a lucky thing. A meat grinder iron spun rapidly. Seeing this he immediately warned the others.
“TIMES ALL, STOP ARGUING. IT'S NO USE NOW. DO NOT LOWER YOUR FEET DOWN, THERE IS A MACHINE THAT CAN CRUSH YOUR FEET” LOUD AND HARD. Give you a warning without thinking twice.
Everyone immediately looked down and found a spinning iron ready to tear their legs.The other acquisition of the approaching wall was only a few meters away, to crush the body. Again everyone panicked and they looked at Meyla.
“I don't know..this time it's a difficult mission to guess” he said while looking down afraid to look at everyone's face.
The person who insulted him said “Ooh now you are no longer useful.Lagain the initial rules of this challenge save yourself, so why are we waiting for you”.
Others defend “If you feel you can solve it why don't you solve the puzzle?” said it.
Everyone glanced at him sharply and tried to corner the ungrateful rude man.
“Mild...I want to ask this Neng, who is the man you comfortably lean on?”
Hearing this question, Meyla furrowed her brows. “Really..I thought people wouldn't look at me, or glance at my behavior, but this guy's meticulous.
He replied “I don't know.I just accidentally hit his body and..” Meyla obviously could not continue, because actually the incident when she was on the first side until the second mission, she was like comfortable with a gentle man hugging her.
Everyone fell silent, and before long the wall slowly opened. Like I found the answer.
“What does this mean.just a question, I think we will face death again” said someone.
The woman standing behind Meyla continued to look at him with a look of dislike. It was as if Meyla was the one pretending to be afraid.
On the other hand, people started to look at him.
“So easy is not..I suspect lest this Neng is a supervisor” said the person who insulted him.
Meyla wanted to answer, but suddenly the wall that had been wide open was his parents who had gathered and did not see anyone other than Father, Mother, and Father,Both his Uncle and Aunt were smiling while standing quietly waiting for his arrival.
Everyone immediately stepped foot to visit them. While looking in the other direction. To see if anyone else was also waiting for their arrival.
But their steps immediately stopped when they found that in the Tunnel with a gate written the number one thousand. There was no one other than the Neng family with them.
Seeing that the views started to blame each other. Meyla's father went to greet her pensive daughter who had not yet entered the Tunnel with the people.He pulled her daughter and hugged her slowly and stood close to her mother. His Uncle and Aunt stood behind him.
Everyone saw this, glancing at Meyla. And the man who insulted him came out of the crowd and arrogantly folded his hands against him.
“Justify what I said..you must be the supervisor” he said.
Everyone was discussing in a light noise.
“What's true.?”
“If true..why should he be afraid.even his body from earlier trembling lightly”.
“What is he pretending?”
“And again this fourth mission just need to hear the answer”
“Who neng this.”
“What is he really a supervisor?..”
Everyone discussed while looking at the people who were the objects of conversation.
Meyla did not approve of that word. “What do you mean, Me?..I can't possibly be a supervisor, whereas I have her invitation card”
“Invitation..Then who is the man you are with.who is that man?..By seeing you there is no way people don't know, we think you must be his lover”
“Wait.” Meyla slowly backed away. He continued “I...lover?..I just don't know him, let alone know, I just don't know his face” This time Meyla poured out what was in his heart and brain. He thought, how did everyone start to relate to him, he said,
he had nothing to do with the man who saved him.
“You said you didn't know him....Miss..” a call with the title Miss sounds like someone in a high position. Meyla put on a confused face while looking at the disdainful Man and now accused him of being the Supervisor.
He continued “ Miss...try to think about the incident before leaving for the second mission, why are you in the house while your Parents have to swim?”
Meyla replied “Because to make our mission easier”
“No...you were wrong..You were the supervisor a few years ago, or you were a former supervisor. By stepping foot up the house and looking through the spacious window, you are the one who opened that huge wall”
Meyla was a little surprised to hear the words, because she never spoke directly that the five of them were precisely her former tower superintendent. Her heart started muttering “What when I talked to Father and Mother, they heard it. And know it..definitely this is why.it is impossible for them to know easily”
Meyla replied “No.. You're wrong, I just don't know what's really going on, but obviously I see you guys aren't there, you guys must have entered before me”
The man interrupted “No...wrong, wrong....we did not enter first, we had to circle the large wall, go through it to find the entrance”.
Meyla heard, recalling the incident as they entered the large wall to continue the challenge of the three.
“No...I didn't see you on the other side, when I came in, I took the time to look out and look for you guys.but you guys didn't have”.
A woman came out, and answered Meyla. “No...we have not entered, even when you have entered the first Tunnel, we have to wait to be able to get used tires as our pedestal”
“Waiting?” Meyla furrowed her brows.
The woman continued. “We were suspicious when you entered the third Terowogan, why we had to spin twice in the second Tunnel. Do you think anyone's okay. Precisely not, we are here already starting to feel weird”
Someone else also came out, who refused loudly while arguing on the third side “You think...why can we jump the Tunnel further, do you think something is wrong with that.?”.
He continued after seeing Meyla's Reaction awaiting its continuation. “You fell asleep..and your parents showed us to jump the Tunnel, but what we had to sacrifice.”.
A little doubt he continued “we should sacrifice our blood instead.and only then could we jump up to the Eight Hundred Ninety Nine” Tunnel.
“Ridak..precisely since the third Tunnel, when you fell asleep”.
“And again..why are only your parents, Uncle, Aunt who got away, while the others where they are?”
“What do you mean” replied Second Uncle.
“Why...IT WAS NOT FROM THE BEGINNING THAT YOU DETERMINED US, WE FOLLOWED YOU, SO THIS MISS IS WITH ANOTHER GROUP, SO WHY SUDDENLY THINGS CHANGE AND WE HAVE TO BE WITH THIS LADY...BUT....BUT WE ARE A LITTLE GRATEFUL UNDER OUR LIVES STILL BEING SAVED BY THIS MISS...SO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH THIS MISS DURING THE MISSION FOR THE THOUSAND VACANCIES..”.
“Stop bullshit”Cap His First Uncle.
The man continued on with his sad tone. “I'm sure..the people who exchanged with us, faced death...really not?”
Like being struck by lightning, Meyla was silent on the spot. His parents had already touched his back and rubbed slowly to calm him down.
Everyone is silent. Others have put on a face of disbelief, disappointment and feeling taken advantage of.
Not long after someone appeared suddenly behind another wall gap. No one knew there was a hiding place.
“So...I think only I know about Neng's”
Again, Meyla was confused. The man who was clearly dead was blackmailed. The dead woman is stuck. The woman who sacrificed herself to save him, all goes like nothing happened.
“huh.it's hard for me to act in front like this”
“yah..” with a smile they faced Meyla who stared with a gaze saying ‘How can you live?’
Meyla touched his head. And trying to digest everything.
All the voices of threats and insults appeared.“Just kill him...we're just wasting time playing with him”.
“This mission is only to divert itself so that he is not fully aware that he is only a lock”
“If you knew. I just need to make use of it from the beginning, unfortunately this wall a lot of missions”
“But how can you live again?”
“I...I was given the opportunity, when I entered the first tunnel, that is, I had to pretend to die for Miss this”
“wow.and what's in return”
“I will appear in Thousand” Tunnel
-*-
Flashbacks
When everyone has passed and continues the mission.The dead get a chance to continue the mission. That's two choices
The first choice stood beside Meyla and enjoyed all the circumstances.
The second choice was to pretend to be dead for Meyla.
And after that everyone will get the reward of escaping without facing a mission in all the tunnels.
They could not choose by researching further. But it is their choices that determine their lives. While the rush does not choose it, will be the real victim.
_*_
Meyla again felt that she was being played with. He felt that this Thousand Tunnel Match was indeed special for him. And to play him.
Meyla shed tears, not believing everything. Forcing himself to retreat and lean against the wall while crying.
“Why-why....Why I was the one to be fooled to play, what does it mean.what is the purpose of this match..at that time I was not clear to remember, what else I used to be just a tower supervisor. Now that I participate in the match, keep why-why someone like toying with me.what am I.”bennya. mind drifting somewhere. He did not even realize that at this moment the people had already broken through to finish the match and everyone present only fifteen people including him were left.
His parents also came in, left him and observed the situation in front of them. His aunt calmed him down.
“Bibi..who is that man..why-why do I feel the mastermind is all that man”.
Her aunt did not answer. His aunt led him to step into the final Mission.
Meyla was fed up with this game. “I'm tired..I'm tired of facing challenges, so they are the ones who casually take the opportunity in narrowness. I'll find the mastermind after it's gone from everything” his mind.
He knew very well, it was impossible for him to remember any of this. What else when the last mission was completed.
Meyla wants to solve everything herself. Don't want to help anyone. He made up his mind and stepped into the final gate. There you have seen clearly at the end of the visible all chairs with a table on which there is a key.
Besides, the steps start to decline. He went down the stairs filled with water. No one knew what depth it was, for sure at this moment his feet were still stepping down.
He remembered all the events in the tunnel. And given the death of every person, his heart ached when everything he faced was just an illusion not a reality.
The water had now reached his plate and under his feet was attached a chain made of iron. In the water, his eyes were clear on everything.
In the water, he still went down the stairs and from far away despite holding his breath. He saw that each wall contained a machine which, if paper was inserted into it, could be******, tear and smash into pieces.
People are trying and rushing to find the key. Because that key is the one that can unlock the snares on their legs.
Feet that have been fitted with iron chains. The key is scattered in all directions. You just need to find a suitable one, while the moving machine is ready to welcome his arrival.
Everyone was trying not to glance at one with the other, they were all focused on completing their mission.
Meyla was silent for a moment. Trying to climb up, he swam and rode on the water, which was now across from the final place where there was the Old Man, Both his Uncle and Aunt were staring at someone who was behind him. Meyla's eyes were wide open to see the person's clothes which were none other than the person who was comfortably providing protection to her.
“How did Bibi get away from here?.not that she was behind me, while going down the stairs”benaknya. But suddenly under his feet, the iron chain pulled into the water. Pulling his body quickly and making him glance inside and breathe impromptu.
His chest was now filled with water, yet strangely. He could easily breathe. And he glanced elsewhere, people were also lightly breathing, only what made them panic was the increasingly attractive iron chain rope, making themselves near death.
One can no longer hold himself back. He lay on his back and before long his body was dragged quickly, then entered the working machine. The body of his feet had been crushed and set aside the crushed flesh scattered.
Seeing this Meyla held back her vomit. He glanced at the others, others did not care about it. While he who had just calmed down was faced again with death and the smell of blood.
But Meyla remains motionless in search of the key to release herself. Because he felt it was unnecessary. And what else he knows is that this is just a back illusion to make him feel scared at first and look stupid.
“huh...you are playing me again?..it will not be repeated again..this time I will not move, and see who will really die” his mind..
But suddenly...................................
