Cognitive Dissonance

After the incident, Mr. Roy now does not guard in the middle of the room anymore, but he stands guard in front of the door of the closet containing the safe. His mind was increasingly chaotic and could not think clearly due to fatigue and snapping from Daniel.

On the other hand, Daniel and Alice again observed Mr. Roy from room 03 using binoculars after the incident. Alice was still worried when she thought about what Mr. Roy might say she gave up and was desperate because in her mind there was no way to take the money secretly or be forced.

Daniel knows Alice's condition just by looking at it without asking. Daniel will try to slowly restore a sense of passion and positive thoughts that they will win and get back the money.

But, Daniel will not say it or do it indirectly about the plan ahead they have to do, because Daniel has his own reasons. Because of that, it makes Alice more curious and still anxious..

"Hehehe.. See her.. He's getting fucked up.." Chirp Daniel after seeing Mr. Roy using his binoculars. Alice also peeked from sidelines² curtains, Mr. Roy, it looks but not so clear with the expression of Mr. Roy, because the position of Mr. Roy changed and was further from the location of his bedroom window. Therefore, Daniel suggested to use binoculars to be more effective in their supervision.

Because Alice wanted to see, Daniel gave her the binoculars, of course Alice accepted without rejection, a few seconds later, Alice gave her binoculars back to Daniel, from his expression there was no sign² was excited in the slightest and it was like he had given up. Daniel accepted it with a long sigh.

"If you had noticed, he would have thought that we would give up as soon as he told me about the safe. But since I didn't back down at all, he became even more agitated. This is a perfect picture of cognitive dissonance ."

"Disonance... ..What's??"

"That's a psychology term. Have you ever experienced this? let me give you an example..."

"....When at school precisely in a classroom, the teacher asked all students 'whose answer is right A or B?', want to think as hard as anything, you know the answer must be B. Then the teacher went around, asking for answers from all the students. The first disciple replied loudly, "A!!”. Then, the 2nd disciple, who was unsure of his own answer, answered A. The 3rd student answered A. The 4th student answered A as well. Until it's your turn, 'A' is your answer. But you know B is the right answer.. Especially if the one who answers the smart student must be in the next turn will definitely follow the answer of the smart student... Not always the smartest student in class answers correctly.. Well, I'm sure they're not confident in the answer." Daniel explained by analogy so that Alice could easily understand it and this was certainly experienced by some people because it was very common.

"ah, I've experienced it..."

"Humans usually, feel restless when there is a mismatch between them and their external environment. Then, in order not to get agitated, they try to get used to the environment. At that time, I'm sure Mr. Roy imagined our disappointment when he showed me the safe. However, I defied his prediction before his eyes confidently. So, she combined her thoughts with my confident appearance. Mr. Roy becomes agitated, and falls into cognitive dissonance. "

"In the end, things will get worse for him. Hehe... Man becomes weak when you destroy his confidence." Daniel continued at length, but Daniel was sure that it would not reduce Alice's worry and satisfaction, he only explained Mr. Roy's condition from a scientific point of view.

"So, you lied that you had a way to take those 20 billion from his safe. So it was just a bluff... Just psychologically cornered her." Alice looked down miserably, if that was true then this was done for her to win this game. However, Daniel laughed a little because Alice thought Daniel had no other plans.

"Haha.. So you don't trust me?? It's not just a bluff or a comment. There's a way to take the money out of that safe. But, for now I can't tell." Daniel said with a confident expression, I slightly glanced at him who was smiling towards me. It makes me ashamed! Because Daniel said he had a plan, I tried to guess the plan, but I thought² was getting longer and didn't find the answer, every time I find a way after that there are consequences that make the plan will not work.

After that we were busy with her duties Each, actually Alice was no task whatsoever, most only cleaning the room if dirty, Because it was time to take turns watching. Because the work was finished, Alice sat leaning against the wall to rest and tried to rethink the plan of what Daniel would do.

Moments later, Alice did not find any answer, instead of getting a solution instead Alice became more dizzy. He held his head like a depressed and frustrated person. Due to being too focused on thinking, Daniel unconsciously noticed Alice.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Daniel's chirps arrived² asked, Alice was surprised, she did not immediately reply.

"Well... You take it easy, I already have a mature plan. You don't have to be hard² think hard to try to guess if what plan I have." Daniel laughed a little because he could guess what Alice was thinking, it made him surprised because Daniel could find out what his thoughts were. Alice smiled wryly because of that.

"You noticed me from the beginning, right?"

"sure.."

"Don't you have to keep an eye on Mr. Roy's movements?

"Dull, the result remains the same, not too significant. As usual very passive.."

"Well...."

I had no choice but to believe it. Little by little, looking at the opponent's chaotic appearance. Making the victory even further. But, for now I do what I can. There is no doubt that my teacher has reached his limit. Sometimes, by his strange actions, he showed that he was losing his mind.

POV : Mr. Roy...

Note: "[.... ]" Speak to the heart

"[That guy....... Must have some kind of trump card.]" Mr. Roy recalled Daniel's very confident words and expressions. Of course it makes him astonished at once restless, afraid that what Daniel said is true..

Is that just a bluff? Although it may have a point, but it should be ruled out first. The cave must be able to guess what Daniel was planning..

"[How??? How did he get this safe?? Don't tell.. If he already knows the combination number of the safe. .??! But it was impossible, there was no way he knew! Although he knew the combination, this safe could not be opened just like that. He needs a key! And the key is only the cave has.]" Mr. Roy reached into his pocket to check and make sure the key is in it.

"[You think about it anyhow, it can't be opened! Besides being opened by violence. Uh...!! Wait, don't² she intends to open it by force!!? Hmmmm.. Open it by force... It was impossible to destroy something as sturdy as this. All right, if the cave wants to open this safe... Yep... The only way is to burn the door with a welding torch. Waitaminute! Oh yes, welding torch! That's definitely possible!]" Mr. Roy imagines Daniel holding a welding torch. Feeling that it might happen and make sense, suddenly Mr. Roy stood up and paced frantically while thinking about what to do.

On the other hand, Alice and Daniel saw the facial expression of Mr. Roy sometimes changed². Alice feels increasingly strange with the roar of Mr. Roy. Daniel laughed a little at the behavior of Mr. Roy.

"[God! He'll slit the door when the cave sleeps. Won't cave let!]" Suddenly Mr. Roy ran to the kitchen to find and bring something, from the point of view of Alice and Daniel, they only saw Mr. Roy run away somewhere. However, not long after he returned to his room, his return made Alice feel strange and surprised by what Mr. Roy did. Daniel again² just laughed just saw that.

Mr. Roy returned with a fruit knife and a machete in both hands, he sat back in front of the safe like a soldier who was guarding the door of the king's room.

"......." Alice didn't say anything, she tried to digest what Roy was thinking.

"Haha.. Looky... What the hell is he doing?"

"[You are brave! When you come here, then the cave will drive you away with a cave cleaver! But, wait.. Is he really going to smash his safe here? Even with the strongest welding torch, it takes at least 20-30 minutes... If he's gonna do it that far.. He will take it and destroy it somewhere. .. Surely so!! But, no, no, no way... The weight of this safe is 190 kilos, it is impossible to be carried by one person.. Oh yeah!! Who says he's alone" Mr. Roy imagines some of Daniel's men taking the safe by force. Because of that, again² sir Roy ran out of the room. When he returned, he carried a chain in his hand.

"(Ohh no!! Lusty!!)"

"Hehehe... He'll do something silly again.."

A few moments later...

The tech! The tech! The tech! Krenggg!!!

"What's that??" Ask Alice to Daniel. Daniel chuckled, this confused Alice. Is anything funny? Daniel apologized because from earlier he did not stop laughing, it might make Alice confused and disturbed.

"He thought that there would be some people who would take out his safe. Not only did she glue it together, she also wrapped it around a chain. Heh.. He's just a waste of time." Daniel said casually

looking at Daniel's confident face, I was greatly helped. If there is no him.. I'll probably go crazy like Mr. Roy. 25 days have passed since the game started. .

There are 4 days left before the game ends...

One time, Mr. Roy opened the door very carefully, before exiting he was frowning to make sure that no one was who² or no one saw him. Feeling safe, Mr. Roy walked quickly to the post box. He has not been out of the house for almost 2 weeks, just to check the post box. When checked the post box, there is a black letter between the white letters. Of course quickly, Mr. Roy brought in and read it when he was in his room. The letter says:

...4 Days left until ...

...game over....

Achmad Roy: + 10,000,000,000

Aiyla Alice Caira: - 10,000,000,000

On June 14th at 17:00, we will send someone to take the money. At that point, the game will be over.

"That means 90 hours to go!!!" Mr. Roy checked the clock in his hand at the feeling of starting to be happy because soon 10 billion will be his.

"Hehehe.. If I could last another 90 hours. 10 billion would be mine!"

Of course I got that notice too..

"Live 4 more days... 5 Hours?! Uh.. W-What should we do??" Alice asked starting to worry because of the increasingly tight time. Daniel answered casually.

"none.. Keep doing what we're doing. Keep an eye on Mr. Roy at all times to make him depressed.".

" but..."

"That's gonna be fine. I've bewitched the safe. When the time comes, the safe will be wide open.

"???" I was confused by Daniel's words. Bewitch? That's not possible. Surely he was joking, but why is he joking when conditions like this? Ah must be lying...

Time just passed by and felt fast, making me even more anxious. .

3 Days until the game is over....

"Ti-ti-three more days!!! Must last for three days!!" It appears that Mr. Roy used all his energy to the point of ending blood, while Alice was only watching him, because it was ordered by Daniel, but did nothing that significantly made him more anxious.

2 Days until the game is over...

Daniel asks Alice for permission to go out for a while to meet up with his friend. Now the longer Alice's mind is getting less clear and stressed. Daniel knew about it, but to raise his spirit, Daniel just said the template as usual. "You don't have to worry, I have a plan."

"Why what?? Do you want to play??" Alice asked, it seemed like she was going to insist, Daniel understood. It looked as if Daniel was not serious about helping him.

"Hahh I understand, I met with my friend to just borrow clothes, what for? Since it's part of our plan, this shirt I'm going to borrow is quite important. So, just calm down... You just need to look at her." After saying this, Daniel left the house without hearing Alice's reply.

23 Hours until the game ends.....

15 Hours until the game is over....

"Live another half day.. Wide-open?? Can he do it?"

5 Hours until the game is over...

"A little more!! Soon those 10 billion will be mine! !

Until the game is over.... There are 55 minutes left ....

Alice ran out of the house to Mr. Roy's house with her watery eyes.. Yeah, she's crying..

" This way I'll lose!!"

"!!!"

"Daniel!! Help me!! I don't know what to do!!" Alice screams for Daniel right in front of Mr. Roy's window, Alice thinks that Daniel is around her house and simultaneously tries his last luck to beg Mr. Roy.

Yreg!!! (The sliding window is very hard)

"AHAHA! I GUESSED!! OPEN THE SAFE?? THAT'S JUST BULLSHIT!!" Shouted Mr. Roy to Alice whose condition is now very sad, Mr. Roy increasingly convinced that he will win. Because Mr. Roy opened the window, this is Alice's last chance to apologize and beg Mr. Roy.

"I'm sorry sir for keeping an eye on you for a month.. So I'm begging you.. Return 10 billion to me. Sir please help me sir! Toll-"

"I don't care!! Thou shalt!!" Suddenly Alice's face was slapped and pushed away from the window by Mr. Roy.

"Yeah!"

Bruk!!

When Alice fell down, Roy quickly closed the window, Alice stood up and knocked several times the window accompanied by my cry that could not be held back anymore, I keep trying to keep asking Roy for help.

"Sir!! Help me sir!!"

"Hehehe!! 45 Minutes to go!"

The tech! The tech! The tech!

"Sir!! Help me sir!! I'm sorry!!"

"Live 30 minutes!!!"

"Sir!!"

"15 minutes to go!!!"

"Pa.. Sir! Mr.." I was getting tired, my voice was running out and my eyes were starting to crack open from crying for quite a while.

The tech! The tech! The tech!

"1 more minute......!!!!!!!"

"!!!" I resignedly heard that, all I think about right now is when I get such a large debt.. If it is known by my father, of course make shock (shock) money that much how did he pay?

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..!!!"

Ting!!!

"I WON!!!!!!!!"

Seriate....
