Sapphire City's
Chapter 37: Not the First Time
The event of a matis figure escaping in the middle of a fight is not the first time it happened, from the first if the matis want to escape they must choose to do, but they must have, but it all comes back to decisions and situations. If the situation does not allow them to survive then the decision will be taken. as did the tiger matis, he knows he can not win, even in terms of strength he is superior, he said, but he was outnumbered. Matis also knows there is a backup team outside his territory that is ready to attack whenever he is called, so the matis decided to escape, so the matis decided to escape,
Unfortunately, escaping matis is not a good thing, because if he ran away, he would definitely pass on information about what he had experienced to his colleagues. That means, in the future the matis facing Judah and his friends will be much stronger the last they faced before
Yuda and Andy, the two of them are training on guns using daggers in the training room accompanied by Mirna and Luca. The two young men realized how weak they were when faced with a matis that if it was difficult to shoot, so they both decided to practice together and both tested their abilities using daggers.
“you both can just learn the sword from us” said Luca.
“susah” reply Yuda “aku use firearms add sword, later weight carry”
“aku too, daggers are enough for me” Andy agreed with Yuda's words.
The two young men formed their daggers so that they pushed each other, until Andy retaliated with a kick towards the stomach of Judah. But Yuda holds Andy's leg using only his left hand.
“by the way it's been 2 weeks we don't get a mission, unless the mission survives sih” said Luca.
“that's because the higher-ups are discussing for future problems” said Mirna.
“what because matis escaped on your last mission?” Ask Luca.
“iya” replied Mirna “maybe it sounds trivial, but actually matis escape can be a problem in the future”
“problem?” Ask Yuda.
“matik who escaped, can tell what he experienced and who attacked him to his colleagues, he said, it means the same as he told us weakness” replied Mirna.
“so my weakness is known matis” said Andy while avoiding Yuda's attack.
“rek” says Mirna.
“not only that” Yuda added “ matis problems rate S also?”
“matik giant you saw it?” Ask Luca.
“iya, when Andy and Mirna were on a mission, I had helped the Fontline team in charge of brazing it matis, but even though our position was very far away, somehow he just disappeared. Since then his figure never appeared again” replied Yuda.
“matik it's full of mystery” Andy said
Judah was sleeping in his dorm room, looking at the jewels he had found while on a mission to fight pigs. Until now there has been no clue as to the purpose and function of this gem. Moreover, there was nothing special about this first, no matter how many times he saw it even with a magnifying glass.
Someone opened the door to the dorm room, Andy went inside alone. He looks like he's out of the cafeteria now bringing home a few cans of soda.
Andy saw Yuda sleeping while looking at the strange jewel with a signature expression, he knew his friend was always investigating the function of the gem, but until now there has been no result.
Andy approached Yuda “hei want to drink” while offering a soda drink that he brought.
“by” Yuda accept Andy's offer.
The two sat on a couch drinking a can of soda.
“others where?” Ask Yuda.
“still on hand, snack” Andy noticed the gem that is still held by Yuda and not yet he released “still curious about it?”
“so” replied Yuda with a sigh.
“I know you found this mysterious object, but why don't you hand it over to the special team that handles it?” Ask Andy.
“initially I wanted to hand it over, but somehow I wanted to investigate it myself”
“but there are no results” yet
“iya sih”
Andy asks Yuda to borrow the jewel, allowing Judah to give the jewel to his friend.
The structure of this gem is so fine even than that of a jewel, even like glass. But the jagged edges of the sharp aga even like a shard shape, as if there were other parts.
“I don't think there can be one deh” Andy said.
“means?” Yuda does not understand Andy's words.
“I mean, there is a possibility there is another part, try to see the sharp edges” Andy pointed to the part he meant “this looks like a broken mark. That means there are other parts”
Here Yuda only realized, he had not thought about it until there and was only too focused on certain parts that might contain mysterious writing.
“why don't I think ya” Yuda said.
“you focus too much on the surface instead of its shape” Andy said.
“from first kali”
The two young men laughed at each other and realized that the mystery Judah had to solve together. But there was one thing that stuck in Judah's mind, if there was any other piece of the jewel he found, where else the jewel was hiding.
In the operator's room, Lia assisted Rizky was monitoring the state of the city of Sukajadi upper bandung, they use cctv installed on each road to see the current condition and situation. The task of the operator is that in addition to supervising the teams on duty they also supervise certain parts of the area with cctv, unlike the Frontline team of the reconnaissance section which oversees the location directly, the operator team supervises from the headquarters.
Rizky saw from the screen, the Frontline reconnaissance team had reached Sukajadi street down, the car they were riding in was parked at the intersection below the overpass. Now the team will travel on foot. Actually they could have driven the car along the Sukajadi road, but because many cars died along the road and because of this road is a road prone to maken so they were forced to walk.
“and we can move the cars that” grumbled Andy while looking at the road conditions through the cctv monitor.
“where maybe we can mindahin” reply Lia, happened to the operator's table he was beside Rizky
“kan only if only” said Rizky.
The cctv screen moved to the location of the road near the mall, there were many cars with large numbers queuing into the mall. If only the lights along the road were on it would be much better than not, because sometimes there is a scary impression from behind the quiet street noiseless and there is no life plus lighting along the road dead.
“view mall, I so want to shop” said Lia.
“kak Lia wants to shop what else, the feeling of Lia's sister is often very much to mall” said Rizky.
“let's go, seruloh to mall” said Lia.
“for me it's more exciting playing futsal in gor” reply Rizky.
“itmale favorite” says Lia.
The surveillance team had come a long way and now they were about to go through the mall and continue to go up until they arrived at a park in the middle of the highway. They set up a special post to monitor the situation.
But from the screen, Rizky saw one of the members of the rear most reconnaissance team suddenly stopped his steps, his gaze focused on the entrance of the mall that was far back.
“dia did stop” comment Rizky.
Not long after, the man called his friends to see what he saw. From his movements they were like seeing something they had never seen before.
“eh on ngerumpi” comments Rizky.
“why?” Ask Lia .
“try see this”
Lia stood up from the chair, and standing right behind Rizky, the woman saw what Rizky was pointing at.
“why don't they continue the mission” said Lia, she took the headset off her desk and directly communicated with her team leader “why are you guys quiet and instead of the path of locating?”
Rizky took one of the headsets on her desk to hear what the team leader answered.
There was something strange coming from the mall, replied the team leader.
Both Rizky and Lia were confused. Rizky immediately moved the cctv screen that initially faced the road, so moved to the cctv facing the mall.
At first there was nothing that the two of them could see, because the camera angle was right above so it was difficult to see what the surveillance team saw. But suddenly something ran out of the mall. At first Rizky and Lia thought it was matis, but upon a good look it was human.
“that's human right?” Rizky asked confused “not matis resembling humans?”
“ obviously it's human, our cctv sensor catches that it's human” replied Lia who was just as confused as Rizky
Lia, is that human or matis? Ask the team leader.
“man” reply Lia
But his face is unknown to us, who is he?,
The words of the team leader left Lia and Rizky astonished at all, obviously it was a human being but the speech of the team leader said he did not know the human, he said, then who is he?.
“what could he possibly be matis in disguise?” Ask Rizky.
“it's impossible” Lia denies Rizky “had he matis, the sensor can still know if it's matis or not”
“lantas who is it?” Ask Rizky again “maybe she missed”
Lia shook her head “no way, even if she was a new member candidate, it should have been a long time since we saved”
Hey, I saw him waving his hands, said the team leader, he looks chaotic and his face is rich in blood.
Without a second thought, Lia ordered the team there to rescue the person. Rizky looked from the screen, the person did look very messy, and full of wounds, as if attacked. Two people from the team went into the parking lot of the mall and picked up the man.
Somehow, the person who was about to be rescued by the surveillance team, suddenly fell like a stumbling person, then in fast time brackets he was dragged into the mall. The situation happened so quickly, even the spotting team as well as Rizky and Lia who were looking from the screen fell silent in shock at what they were witnessing.
Quickly, Lia turned back the cctv partly as the man was dragged inside. There was nothing pulling him, he was dragged away.
“what is polthegeis” says Lia
“entah” said Rizky “but whatever it is, what's inside is not something easy to deal with”[]
