Emotion Taster

Arc 4 New Stage: Chapter 48 - The Dead

The people here were indeed mostly ordinary humans. In fact, for me who are ordinary humans have a good reliable team like Farrel alone still have difficulty facing the challenge. The most natural thing to win this game is to use the magic of Amalia to be together. But, unfortunately Octa didn't let that happen, and divided us into small groups.

Imarine and Azarin were among the lucky ones, they did not meet the giant monster while in the forest. However, what happened to Brother Dina was a natural thing for ordinary humans with a team containing one human pair only.

That doesn't mean it's one of those people. I'm not saying they suck, it's just that I remember how I got them into Octa's deadly game. Guilt where the burden becomes very painful when Kak Dina tells the story.

Verdian turned out to be quite a responsible person. Whether he's unlucky or not, but the fact that sister Dina survived being brought back is proof that she didn't run away alone. According to the story, the two of them met the monster in the middle of the night. Then, while running, Verdian was caught first.

Not because the man is weak, but precisely because Verdian always keep the position of Kak Dina always in front so as not to be left behind. That's a pretty bold action considering the critical condition can make people become selfish.

However, it was this that made him die. Verdian was caught, and with the monster's big hand, the man's body was pulled apart with his head. I felt it, waves of emotions of fear and horror mixed with disgust from Brother Dina. So, in the second he wanted to say, I also stopped him from forcing myself.

It was the situation at that time of night. But, that does not mean that sister Dina can not see completely. The captured Verdian was still before him. So, the seconds when the head was cut off and blood spurted like a slaughtered animal can be clearly seen by Brother Dina. The woman could clearly see the deep red blood figure and the fishy smell of iron mixed in from Verdian's body. The sensation is overwhelming when a splash of blood stains several corners on the face.

That was his last memory.

Either a curse or a blessing. Brother Dina was immediately taken to this place. No time the monster grasped the next victim. The woman was taken like a winner to the room, just like I was.

Even so, sister Dina did not win. He escapes because he accidentally makes others his stepping stone. Once I wanted to entertain, but at the same time Sister Dina was strong and rejected it all. He still had the pride of an older brother, not wanting to be troublesome and looking weak in front of me.

The situation began to calm down, sister Dina tried not to look sad anymore and threw away all her emotions just now. He showed a positive face, pointed forward and continued to support himself with vigor. I didn't know it was a lie, he was trying wholeheartedly not to cause any new problems. But, I'm sure what he felt was also not a lie, the pain of one's death was indeed inevitable.

We gathered in the middle, all but Hanz who was still sitting in the corner. Not because he didn't want to, but some of my people were still suspicious and wary of him. It was only natural that when he displayed the shrewdness of his hands and cold blood killed three people at once.

Actually we ourselves do not understand what the command is now. Walk to the middle and somehow everyone follows.

There people thought the same thing. I looked around randomly to find new information and said, "Now what should we be?"

*Whosh ....

"Hhh!?"

Emotional waves.

This time it was bland, tasteless, because what I felt was memory, science flowing to the head. This is a message from Octa again, something he put into the world.

My whole view was forced into darkness, whether it was one room that was made so, I was just my vision was limited. I was there trying to fix it, blinked a few times, and gradually wiped my eyes.

Then, until finally I was also brought back to another place. When everyone gathered, the artificial world very gently moved us like a silent teleportation. Without light, without vibration, and without any other physical interference, I just kind of winked and suddenly my gaze had changed in a different place.

The hall was originally based on a dark color like a cinema carpet, this time I saw a different room with better lighting. Its basic color is still dominated by red and brown, but the light source now comes from a large bright lamp that hangs with trinkets. This was the design hall of the inn, I could see there was a reception room, a large staircase to the second floor which then bisected to the right and left, respectively, then the door opened on the first floor leading to a large dining room.

This inn has a traditional feel, I don't see any futuristic objects. However, that does not mean that old is bad, it is clear that this entire building has a high antique value and is still beautiful to look at.

*Whoush, whoush, whoush ....

"Gkhth!?"

Emotional waves.

It feels disgusting, like a fish carcass crammed into the mouth. It's a special feeling, a coldness of fear, bitterness of resentment, and a mixture of some mixed emotions like upset and sad.

I held onto my body so as not to collapse and stabilize myself. Because there I still do not understand the place and can not stay away from the source, then for a while my response is only to look for.

My position was on the front side of the hall, close to the exit that was originally staring at the large staircase leading to the second floor. However, the source of the sound came from the side, right behind the dining room.

I walked in that direction and found out what was going on there. Then, it turned out that I quickly found a group of people. Those who continued to emit waves of negative emotions turned out to be directing their gaze in the same direction, one corner on the side of the dining room that was originally covered by the crowd.

I walked there, opened my own path and looked with my head.

*Whoush ....

Before analyzing the corpse, I first looked around. The people gathered turned out to be all players from my side.

Amalia, Imarine, Azarin, and Farel were standing a little away from the corpse, they were at a distance where it was enough to see but not enough to reach physical touch. Maybe because as a habit of ours as school students, there like flowing five make a semicircle together around the center of attention.

Then, there's Brother Dina. He became the closest person to his actions that wisely covered his face became the point of attention now. There she looks very graceful like a tough woman. However, I knew that she was harboring incredible emotions, all of her negative feelings flowing straight into my mouth.

*sex

From the dining room, there is a door to the kitchen. The door opened and two people appeared inside. He was Hanz and the little boy who was with him.

The man who had an empty vision like a blind man walked over and looked at us. Maybe there's something else I want to talk about. But, somehow his appearance using the chef's clothes made me unable to escape from it.

*Step, step, step ....

Then, again came the sound of steps, this time coming from behind. Typical tremors where wooden floors clump together become something rare. The nuances of the antique building are getting thicker.

I was there turning around for a while, and then I found Pero, he was wearing a plant-designed shirt. The crow entered and looked around to find out what had happened.

*Whoush ....

Then, the final pawn step was taken.

As this wave of negative emotions soared, it turned out that the memory of the rules of the game reappeared. From the number that previously came, this time it was complete all the messages and tasks that must be done.

At the heart of what we're dealing with is the show again. Now, we're all here acting as detectives and actors simultaneously.

I, and four others, Amalia, Imarine, Azarin, and Farrel, wear different school outfits to our school. Octa took me to a place where we wore a more unique uniform in a dark blue alma mater suit.

Then, in front of us, sister Dina. The woman acted as a teacher. That's the exact memory I got. He with casual clothes that are polite and fashionable becomes a differentiator. His clothes covered with fashionable parka jacket is still memorable dilemma, his face which is certainly still young can be memorable if he is part of the student as well.

From the kitchen, it was Hanz who still saw us. She now wears free clothes with a white apron and a chef hat. For a moment he who had a face like young also caused an awkwardness. Because, I myself quite rarely see chef sets with aprons and hats high in the real world.

The little boy who was with Hanz himself only wore ordinary casual clothes. He who is short impressed funny when wearing pants that have a strap connected to the shoulder. The memories I can give me don't give me any information about his work, just a kid who's the chef's kid who's always running around.

Then lastly was Pero, he entered from the door connecting to the hall. This time he was the innkeeper, all taken care of by him except for the dining service. Its appearance with modern batik clothes is quite entered with the feel of this antique building.

We are all now set in the background of being a study group student who is doing a special nature tour to a secluded inn deep on the mountain. Places that are not affordable by people, even for food supplies are needed special people to do large shopping.

Here there will be no one but us the perpetrators of tourist members and lodging staff.

"..."

I fell silent, put on a look of sadness and looked down blankly. For a moment there was something important I realized. I'm pulling back, not Pero the last player in the room. But, there was still another one, where he became the center of attention.

Verdians.

I had seen the shape of his chin and hairstyle when the cover cloth was not covered perfectly. Now, the man was sprawled with his head and body separated by thirty inches. His body was lying on his stomach with twenty stabs in the back chest. Then, a great splash of blood flowed and fully imprinted as if forming a mark at thirty inches the distance of his body and head.

Verdian now plays the dead man. He was a teacher who was on par with sister Dina and became a murder victim. The task this time is to determine who the perpetrators in the charade are made.

*Clench

My hands were clenched, seeing all the beginnings of the second show made by Octa. It feels so upset when played. But, this time I already felt what he was doing was crossing the line toying with the feelings of the people here.

Why, why is he wearing Verdian here? Deliberately on display disregarding the pride of the person who has died.
