Gaju - One

Chapter 52 - Devil's Trap

“Forward, will you make a deal with me?”

Gaju who was going through his lowest emotional situation since being on the Island heard the voice of someone he was very familiar with sounding from behind him. The voice of someone who has been the biggest enemy as well as his nightmare. Someone who made him and all the other Candidates feel the kind of life they felt.

The Professor.

Gaju turned his head and could now see the figure of the old man behind him. Even if the figure looks very real, with just one look, Gaju knows that it is just a hollogram.

The manager must have noticed all the events and fights in this place earlier.

Gaju also suspected that all his secrets were known by the Professor and the Manager, but he did not care. Because he knew that what he had done earlier was a must. He couldn't possibly let Tian die without doing anything, not after what the little girl had done for him.

Gaju quickly analyzed all the possibilities of why the Professor appeared here. It took only a few seconds for Gaju to guess. The first, of course, because of the performance of Gaju that has always been hidden has been revealed, so the Manager now definitely puts the name Gaju as the strongest Candidate on the Island.

The second reason must be related to Tian's injury. Whatever the story, Tian was the candidate with the best Intelligence Capability among his peers. It would be impossible for the Society to let him die. So Professor came to save Tian.

The professor noticed all of Gaju's movements and smiled slightly.

“You analyzed my motives for coming here? Good, unlike other strategists, you can do such a heavy task with the method of simultaneous thinking without losing focus on the surrounding environment such as Tian and Adel,”, said Professor.

Gaju understand what is said by Professor, for other strategists, they will experience a momentary blank when doing the analysis. This condition is a state where, the strategist focuses all his brain's ability to access the memory and knowledge they have and use it for analysis.

Under these conditions, the strategist's awareness of the surrounding conditions disappears. They turned into a very easy target to attack.

But, another Gaju, since a long time ago, he never had trouble doing or thinking about the same two things at the same time. While doing the analysis though, Gaju did not experience a momentary blank like other strategists. He can still see and be alert to the threat of danger from the surrounding environment. This is what Professor's words meant just now.

“Oke, now tell me what your analysis result is!” said the Professor with a commanding tone.

Gaju looked at Professor sharply and did not reply to his words at all. He just kept quiet without blinking his eyes.

“You hate me huh?” ask the professor with a small laugh.

“As far as you know, I never care what you feel for me or your feelings for the Manager. We're here to create super soldiers that exceed the limits known to science today. I do not care about trivial things like feelings,” continued the Professor who more resembles the lecture.

“OK, if you don't intend to answer my question. I will say it directly,” continued the Professor after not getting a reaction from Gaju.

“Let’s make a deal,” said the Professor repeated his remarks earlier.

A faint smile rang on his lips and inexplicably, Gaju seemed to see the shadow of the Devil behind the Professor's hollowogram. The devil who is offering his trap while smiling to his prospective prey.

Gaju glanced towards Tian, “Even if the chance came from the Devil, I would make a deal with him provided Tian could be saved,” Gaju murmured inwardly.

Gaju stood up and faced the Professor, trying his hardest to suppress his hatred and anger towards the figure.

The professor smiled broadly, "I can heal your soulmate, but it's all worth it" said the Professor with a chuckle.

"See this! There are some items that could save Tian's life from the items we offer," the Professor said as he waved.

Next to it suddenly appeared a hollogram screen that was half the size of one meter and showed a long list.

Gaju read it at a glance and was stunned, "The island has such advanced medical capabilities?" gaju said in half-belief.

"Mekekekekekeke," Professor only chuckles at Gaju's face that seems to be in disbelief with what he just showed.

"But, in this world, there are terms you should know, no free lunch. So, it's all worth it" continued the Professor with a grin.

Gaju glanced towards the very bottom of the description of the item on the screen and was stunned when he saw it.

500 points.

A very fantastic price and beyond the reach of Gaju reason for now.

500 Points, that means, Gaju has to slaughter the level 3 of 5 tails to get that point and has the right to ask the Manager to do Advanced Medical Treatment to Tian.

5 Beings like Griffin.

Just imagining it makes Gaju shiver, but he has no other choice.

The problem is, Gaju currently does not have a single point under his name, not Adel, not Aju, even Gaju believes that at this time, maybe no Candidate already has points.

If Gaju had decided to collect as many points as possible from now on, when Gaju might have managed to get the required points, would Tian still be alive?

Gaju. But his brain thought hard. One thing he believes, Professor wouldn't have come here without a plan. He knows it.

"What do you want?" ask Gaju in a flat tone.

"Smartin!" praise Professor.

"I'm offering you a deal. I'll borrow you points and take care of Tian. But..." The professor looked towards Gaju and deliberately held back his words.

"But?" chase Gaju.

"But there are conditions" replied the Professor with a loud laugh.

"I don't have time to play guess. Say your terms and take care of Tian as soon as possible," said Gaju in a high tone.

"Kakakakakakaka," the Professor laughed at Gaju's words.

"The first, as do all creditors on the surface of the Earth. Interests. I'm borrowing you points and I don't want to lose. So the Advances Medical Treatment Procedure will turn out to be 1000 points for your case, consider the addition as an interest for me" said the Professor.

"That's right!!" rutuk Gaju with a soft voice and a sharp gaze towards the Professor.

But the Professor seemed not to hear Gaju's words and continued his words.

"Second requirement, from now on, you will be considered a level 2 creation. Whoever kills you, gets the same score, 1000 points," said Professor.

Gaju. Currently, he was the only Candidate who had a point value of minus 1000 points.
