Cheating Games

Intimidating the opponent

"Maba, yeah....... After you look like a High School boy, it looks like you look, maybe... And strangely even a high school kid is more brutal than I said.. It's Weird.." Although Daniel spoke in no serious way, Daniel's expression was the opposite. Alice paused for a moment, I still did not understand what she meant..

"OK let's say it's just a prank"

"Do you know what 'advanced relationship' means'?" As for Daniel before Alice finished speaking, Alice puffed her cheeks in dislike, Daniel knew the meaning of the response and waited for Alice to answer.

"The relationship of two opposite sex, that's for sure. And.... The advanced level you mean... What is it like holding hands or hugging each other? Or kiss? " Alice slightly slowed down the words at the end of the sentence because it made her ashamed and inappropriate.

"Haha.. Didn't think you were actually saying it properly and honestly, I thought you were just a bookworm who spent your time reading." Daniel laughed forcibly crisp, Daniel smiled Strangely towards Alice making him confused and goosebumps.

"But this is different.. This can be said to be a warm relationship married wives, but can be done by unmarried couples. Do you know what I mean?" Daniel explained, closing his eyes, he leaned his tired body against the wall behind him.

"And this book most of the people reading it are perverts and it's not good for your brain health.. " Daniel said with a small smile towards Alice from earlier silent for a moment.

"Oh so yeah.." Alice lowered her head smiling shyly, scratching the back of the head that arrived² itchy. Seeing Alice's response like that Daniel returned a small smile.

A moment of silence enveloped the entire room. The clock is 20:57. Alice usually sleeps around 9 or 10 nights, but since Alice was asleep, she does not feel sleepy. Instead, Daniel seems to start sleeping but still awake, sometimes his eyes close and open with a long time just to make sure the surrounding.

"You sleepy? Should not be forced-"

"It's my shift hour, so you can sleep or go home.. "

"Gr.." Alice felt bad for Daniel, because he had worked cleaning the house plus he had to stay up late to observe the movement of Mr. Roy, it was very tiring.. Moreover, this afternoon Alice did not observe at all.

"Yes-yes-yes I know." Daniel got up from his seat to grab a soda drink that was near the white plastic. "But we've made a deal and we've agreed to it, so it can't be contested." Daniel drank slowly, the agreement that Daniel meant was about the shift hour agreement to observe Mr. Roy who was in his house.

"But I want to help, you must be exhausted from not resting.. " Alice looked down with a worried face.. Daniel stopped drinking, taking a deep breath..

"Try occasionally not to care and feel bad about others, it will only burden you and break some rules that apply.... "

"That's bad.. "

"I'm not saying that it's bad or not true, but rather you have to look at the situation and the condition of both yourself and others, don't push yourself. Huh.. Better not to continue.. " Daniel clucked, he was annoyed and did not like Alice's nature is too good and can be used his kindness anytime and anywhere.

"I'm sorry I said as if what you did was bad as a criminal, I didn't mean anything, just that in this world not everyone will repay you.. " Continue Daniel let his tone that had been rising, he reflexes to come down as Alice did, now Alice looked back.

"Yes I understand what you mean.. Thanks though.. " Alice returned with her signature smile, Daniel felt that the hallmark of Alice was her smile and kindness. However, not long after Alice's expression turned alert as well as agitated.

Note: "( .... )" That means they speak in whisper².

"(Daniel... Daniel... Try to come here for a second.)" Pinta Alice, because Alice's slow voice plus the conditions outside the rain make Daniel not fully hear Alice's words.

He whispered, Rich is planning something in the enemy area..

"(Ihhh not horrified.)" Feeling bad, Alice inevitably approached Daniel, but just wanted to stand up they heard the sound of the floor being stepped on the hallway right on the stairs.

Ngik! Ngeck!

Coincidentally the floor of this house is made of wood, so it is natural that walking causes sound. But, why did the sound of people stepping not just them in this house? Hearing that, Alice Buru² ran towards Daniel who positioned himself behind him.

"Oi, why are you running? The house is shocked to the point of shuddering?" Canda Daniel to melt the atmosphere, he knew the cause of Alice running scared like a child and he heard it.

"(Ih Daniel! Still have time to²nya you joke, indeed you did not hear earlier what sound?)"

"Yes, listen.the sound is loud as soon as I hear, you think I'm getting deaf?" Daniel joked again, Alice pinched Daniel's waist because from earlier joking did not know the time, and again now somehow it feels like a horror.

"Aww!" Daniel's body slightly moved away from Alice so that her hand could slip off on its own. Knowing that Daniel was moving away from her, Alice pulled her arm back toward Alice. Due to his sudden withdrawal, Daniel lost his balance thankfully the reflex he was holding on to the leg of the table. Although a little less efficient, but nothing else to hold.

"Well..! Good thing it didn't fall..." Daniel breathed a sigh of relief while confirming his slightly squishy body position. Alice smiled uneasily, Daniel replied with trivial eyes. However, soon Alice whispered back..

"(Daniel, was that a footstep??)"

"(Well... It was just a clash between raindrops to the floor, so it made such a sound.)"

"(B-but wasn't that too loud? I-I'm not sure about that.)"

"(From us eating has also been heard a rich voice that, although the sound is not as loud as before.)"

"(Oh yeah?? How come I didn't hear it like you said..??)"

"(Hmm, oh yeah...? Looks like you're enjoying your meal to the point of not hearing anything around.)" Daniel smiled wryly. Alice was embarrassed but she was also unsure of Daniel's words, but gradually believed him.

"(Yes yes, too)" Alice smiled with relief, without Alice realizing it, Daniel smiled wryly. However, it was not why the most important thing was that he was no longer frightened by his thoughts. Though the fact is not so, Daniel also feels this house a little strange...

Looky.. He smiled with relief at the obvious.. He's easily fooled..

"Oh yeah.. I forgot to answer your questions during the day.. You remember?"

"Hm.. Oh yeah I just remembered..."

"The reason I want to help you is all for the money."

"That's all??"

"Well.... We're in a recession and even if I try to work, hardly anyone will want to hire an ex-con.. If we get 20 billion in this game I'll take 5 billion. Isn't this the best job?? Get 5 billion in less than a month." Daniel said while drinking the soda in his hand.

Note: Recession is when GDP (Gross Domestic Product) declines twice or more in a year. A recession usually leads to a decrease in price (deflation) or an increase in price (inflation).

"I was expecting it, so it's money, yes.." Alice muttered, her heart feeling disappointed. But, what Daniel said was true as well, so Alice should not be selfish.

"[But that's if we can get the money back. Oh, my God, where did that confidence come from???]"

"Hm.. Daniel... Did you realize something when we walked through the hall??" Alice asked trying to ascertain if Daniel realized that the door to room 02 was slightly open.

"Hm.. It wasn't very specific, just a few drops of water coming in and pooling on the floor.. What's up?" Alice approached and whispered in Daniel's ear.

"(The door to room 02 is open!)" Just saying that, Daniel frowned then stood up and went outside, it seemed like he was going to room 02. Knowing that, Alice followed behind. As she exited, Alice saw Daniel put his hand into room 02, as if he wanted to take something.

"Daniel what are you doing..?"

"Ah, sorry.. Like you said it because you're afraid of this.." Daniel showed me something he took from room 02 of his hand, it was a little green handkerchief. Alice did not understand what Daniel meant by showing her a handkerchief. Looking at Daniel's confused look on the face explains what really happened.

"Then what does this have to do with the handkerchief you're holding?"

"It's the mother's, when she came in too I saw her carrying this from both her hands."

"Be-so yeah.. Maybe she forgot her handkerchief.." Alice grabbed the handkerchief from Daniel's hand, slowly stroking it.

"....”

" This room will not be bright, because this room is right above the kitchen. And when I raise my head up, this room is covered with curtains, so the light will not enter.

"so.. Yep..... I understand.."

"We'd better get back, it's too cold in here..."

"L-yes..." Even so, Alice still felt an awkwardness with this house, she wanted to ask further, but Alice ignored her intention because she felt not completely 100% Daniel knows this house especially he will be in charge of supervising, so Alice does not want to disturb him.

Short story..

1 Week went by, we did all the work well. But, to be honest Alice is still confused what is the point of watching Mr. Roy for 24 hours, looks strange and wastes² time alone. Especially if for one day we do not get any information, yeah me and Daniel have experienced it and it was not once or twice, but often.. And I think I've wasted and wasted my precious time.. I don't know at all what I've been doing all this time..

I think we're just making a little bit of progress, I'm gradually starting to get anxious... By just watching him we can get his money back? I denied it, so when I finished and took turns watching I would ask Daniel, to confirm the clear truth about Daniel's plan.

"good job.. Now it's my turn, did you find anything?" Daniel chirped from beside Alice, which made her a little surprised.

"No, not at all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, when we started, he went to a bar, a playground, a supermarket, and so on. But, the last few days when we occupied this house, he hasn't left the house at all. He just stayed in his room."

"Hmmm, so.. So that's what happened... Hah it's okay² Now it's my turn, you can rest or visit your father..." Daniel said as he walked toward the seat not far from him, Alice stopped Daniel by saying his name..

"Daniel, sorry.."

"Hmm?" Daniel just cleared his throat and walked to the chair and he sat down

"Can you explain to me why we're doing this?"

"......?" Daniel spun² chair like a child who likes to get more pocket money. Alice continued..

"Daniel, you said you had a plan. All we do every day is just observe the house. Honestly, I don't understand what we're doing.." Alice lowered her head in resignation, as the end of Daniel's sentence stopped turning, she paused for a moment to understand and looked towards Alice.

If not told, there is only the door to despair. I'd better tell you the specifics of what we're doing.

"Hmmm, doesn't that mean??" Daniel got up from his chair, he stood in front of Alice who was still lowered. Daniel took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as Daniel would say long enough.

One of the ways that a fraudster often uses is to put someone in an abnormal state of mind, I'm sure you've heard this. There is a business scam that sells mobile phones to parents at expensive prices. In this scam, they gather a lot of people in one room. And putting the buyers in the crowd, they're making some sort of mass hypnotism. If you think carefully, it's just an HP that's too expensive. But, being influenced by the atmosphere of the promotion, you come to believe that it is a discounted price. That is the same reason for phone fraud, when the person receiving the phone hears the voice of their loved one in pain, they will fall into panic. Once trapped they will do as they are told and their money will be taken away. No matter how calm and careful the person was, when he was placed in an abnormal state of mind, they would become extremely weak. Simply put, what we're doing now is putting Achmad Roy into an abnormal state of mind."

"!!"

"Let's just think from his point of view, you told him you were going to win this game, I said that I had a plan to take 20 billion from him. And without knowing this plan, he was observed 24 hours. So then? As you ask 'how do we steal 20 billion just by doing this?'. He also thought about the same question. Look around."

Daniel's eyes were fixed towards the window of Mr. Roy's room which was below, there he saw Mr. Roy was agitated about something. Alice also saw him from behind the window curtains, he peeked and there was Mr. Roy who was sitting cross-legged with a restless face full of sweat.

Pov: mr. Roy

What's wrong with them???

I'll win this game. . .

But, how did they steal these 20 billion..?

They won't be able to! There's no way they can! My plan was perfect.

Pov: mr. Roy (End)

Even so, it turns out that Mr. Roy realized that he was being spied on by someone, reflex he turned to the window and looked out, in a hurry² Alice closed the curtains so as not to be known by Mr. Roy.

"How does it look?" Daniel smiled cynically while upholding the soda drink into his mouth and his throat felt dry as a result of explaining at length. Alice peeked once more to be sure, and the results were the same. Mr. Roy is still nervous about something. What Daniel said is true.

"He was anxious about the conclusion of his own mind. He had clearly lost his mind, hehehe.. " Said Daniel, I don't know why what Daniel said made so much sense.

"Only by observing for 24 hours! That's all it takes, Roy's under intense mental pressure." Daniel continued, Alice was thinking what she wanted to say.

"Yeah, I understand why you said he was depressed."

"Now, he's in a condition where he'll be easy to cheat."

"But..... HOW DID YOU TRICK HIM?! AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO STEAL 20 BILLION??!! ISN'T THE MONEY IN THE SAFE!! EVEN IF WE CAN FOOL HIM, WE CANNOT CHEAT THE BANK! AND WHAT SHOULD WE DO IN THE LAST TWO DAYS??! WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE BANK IS!" Unconsciously I raised my voice, I began to get frustrated if this was Daniel's only plan, Daniel smiled lightly. That's a weird smile.

"Bank, you said??"

"Eh... Why the hell?"

"He didn't hide it in the bank." Daniel casually said that, Alice was surprised not to play like lightning in broad daylight. How does he know it and can it be proven in real terms? Benak Alice again continues to raise complicated questions².

"This 24-hour observation was not in vain. As proof, it has exposed the secret of Achmad Roy, if my guess is correct. . 20 billion are in his house.

"?!!!" I was surprised to turn my eyes in disbelief. Daniel smiled with confidence and confidence.
