The Last Era's

Act 44 [Finding Old Memories]

After that incident, Uncle Erkan disappeared for a few days. Then he suddenly returned to his room. Those few days as well, I began to understand them one by one as brothers.

My nature is slowly changing by the environment. I was lacking empathy and emotion. Now become more calm and understanding to brothers.

I continue to train with others to improve my skills. It's only been two days, but this is enough for me to have killed three huge monsters.

Since I had already joined the others, then I was asked to change the haircut. For security issues, he said, I don't understand. My school is also at home, my name from school has also been revoked because I thought I was dead due to disaster last month.

Today I visited a house that was once my father and mother. The house is now dirty and unkempt, but still stands firm aka nail house. This old house stands side by side with two vacant lots left and right.

He said there were rumors that this house was haunted. Therefore, the neighbors build houses beside the vacant land or build across it. I mean, why do they still believe that this year.

I secretly left the apartment with permission to buy snacks. Up there I was repeatedly reminded by people there not to enter the house.

"There used to be thieves trying to steal there", "But until now, his body and tracks just disappeared" explained a robot helper who intercepted me.

"Ohh", I replied casually.

Arriving in front of the house, I began to feel the feeling I had felt before. But who and where, is still a question as long as inside.

In front of the fence of the house there is a signboard forbidden to enter. I don't know who installed it, but obviously the age of this writing board is younger.

"Whoever put this up, must be a bad man", I murmured.

Cold and humid air. Grass and wild plants in a very thick yard. Also the cracked walls and wood that was blackish made my hair goosebumps.

I thought about going around and going home. But I want to solve the mystery that has haunted me all this time.

Slowly I turned the door algae from the wood. Then open it quickly. The view inside is really terrible. Very dark and cold, the furniture there is also a mess.

"Come on, be brave, be brave", "I'm a man".

I turned on the flashlight on my phone. The place instantly became bright and reduced my fear. I slowly went inside while watching the surroundings.

Inside I found two rooms. I opened one of those rooms by force by kicking it. In that room, many little toys were lying everywhere. There's just that, there's no mattress or cupboard in it.

"This room must be, my room first".

I turned to the room next to him. This room is wider and more can be called a room because there is a mattress and closet. The foot of the mattress inside was broken and the window was also broken.

On the wall there are several photo albums that are starting to mold. On one of the albums, there is a photo of a tall and dashing man and a beautiful woman holding a small child.

"I still didn't expect you to go that close? Leaving his son alone after losing his wife", "Truly cruel", I muttered as I stroked the photo album.

Accidentally my hand slipped and dropped the album onto the floor. I took it and put it back in its position. As I was about to return it, I found a button on the back of the album.

Without thinking I pressed the button. Soon a mechanical sound was heard from the cupboard. I put the album down and ventured to open the closet.

Inside the closet are stairs that lead underground. I began to fear entering it because it was dark and afraid I could not go up again. However, in order to answer the mystery in my head, I was forced to enter the room.

The room was small and narrow. There was only a table with the lights still on. Above it was scattered a half-scorched paper and paper storage.

This writing storage is a storage of writing that can narrate. In that year the model that can narrate like this is the most expensive. But now this model is too old.

Not to mention the hefty weight and the length of which is approximately one inch. Make it lose with the latest model that has all the features above but the size is only as big as a chip.

I opened the desk drawer and found another photo. Photos of children with a middle-aged man behind him wearing a professor's shirt. Surprisingly all the faces there were full of scribbles except for one boy wearing a red scarf.

I turned the paper around looking for who photographed it. Since I could not find an answer, I simply threw away the photo and continued my search there.

I'm trying to turn on one of those new writing stores that's burning a little bit. The writing store can still light up perfectly, bringing up images and inscriptions of holograms of planets, warships, and some other writings.

"What does this mean?"

"Wait, won't my father come here?", "And not die?"

Next to the planet's image are several rows of numbers that seem to show coordinates. The series of numbers were written in a writing font that I did not understand. I photographed it with my phone to look up its meaning in the library.

I turned off the writing storage earlier and tried to turn on the others. Many of them were scorched, but one of them surprised me. It contains the last message, written under the name Shina. I turned it on and listened to the contents.

"Hello, um here Shina is talking. Sorry I can't talk much. Uhh this sucks, but uhh a-I'm gonna go escape to a safe place. I'm not afraid, but my superiors know me as a rebel. So this message I made to tell you especially you, my son. I know you're listening to this, but uhh. You must be angry right now. Yep.. Bottom line... Donny's right. We are indeed being used. And. I have to go-"

TRASS

The thing instantly exploded after finishing its narrative. The eruption then produced a small smoke that smelled very pungent, similar to the smell of a burning battery. Still, it still surprises me.

I tried to turn on the others carefully. Some of them do not contain important information because they only tell their lives. Even so I can still be happy because I can listen to the voices of my parents. One of them made me tear up that belonged to my mother,

"Alright, umm.. hey! I don't know what to say. But I recorded this sound for Okta. How old are you now, boy? 20? 25? I don't know, you're a curious and smart kid just like your dad. I don't know how old I am, because the wind element can't regenerate, the weakest element. Even so, the mother had already been stabbed in the chest and was still able to live. Ehem, the point is, son, don't be a bad boy! You're always nosy when you're sami. Now that you're a kid, still funny, 10 more years somehow you, as long as you remember mom, you'll feel that mom is always by your side. That's all okay, okay.., Dad!how do I turn this off?

This one is lo bu-"

PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP

I wiped my tears. Listening to her soft and delicate voice made my spirit return again instantly.

It just so happened that dusk had come, it was time for me to go home. I immediately took the album and the voice recording earlier.

During the trip I felt like someone was following me. The temperature I felt was very hot, with a distance of 20 to 30 meters.

Arriving at the apartment, I entered secretly carrying the goods earlier. Thankfully, everyone was in their room at the time.

"Now it is safe", I murmured with a sigh of relief.

"Now it's time to sleep".

I jumped up and fell asleep.

...\=...

DING

"Let's go" while covering my ears with a pillow.

DING DING DING DING

"Why the hell is he!", I was furious and intended to push him against the wall with a wind thrust.

The bell kept pressing, until I opened the door all of a sudden.

"You came to the wrong house stupid!"

"Wait wait wait wait, it's me, Tu San, calm down, calm down!!", the screech was scared.

Tu San tried to calm me down who was ready with a high-pressure wind in my right hand.

"Tu San?", "Ooo my best friend", I embrace him tightly.

"How do you know me and this place?"

"It just so happened that you came home a different way" "You changed your haircut too", "Almost I didn't recognize you hahaha".

"It's not safe to talk here, want to come in?", I asked while pointing in.

"Because today I'm loose, so. okay".

I brought Tu San to the living room. Then let him sit in the chair. I asked the assistant robot to make us both drinks.

"Tu San, please don't tell others about my identity".

"If you're a mutant elemental human?"

"Eh, how do you know that?"

Tu San lowered his jacket zipper to show a badge on his chest.

"You're the protector of the human element?", "S-since when?"

"It's been a long time" "Even before the school incident".

"So that's why you're skipping school so often?"

"Hehey".

While he was busy talking, Uncle Erkan suddenly appeared behind Tu San while saying hello. We were both shocked, our hearts felt like they were going to fall.

"You're Okta's friend?", asked the man.

"Eh uh, yes sir, I've been a close friend since high school" he replied immediately standing up and bowing his body towards Uncle Erkan.

I'm amazed. Why should a man like him be treated like a king. Is it because he's an important person, then why am I not hugged.

"It's nice to meet you Tu San".

"You guys... Know each other?", ask.

"Yep, he's ranked top in the academy" Uncle Erkan replied casually.

"Ehehehe, I don't want the story to be true" he continued, scratching his head.

Suddenly my phone rings. There's a message to pick up an item downstairs. I don't want to have an assistant robot because it's a secret, a new album.

"I'll excuse you for a second".

The atmosphere became silent for a moment after I left. The two looked awkward to talk to each other.

However, suddenly Uncle Erkan sensed the existence of a third person from the direction of the window. He told Tu San to get ready to attack. Tu San suddenly took out a plasma gun, then pointed it at the window.

Not long after, a giant scaly hand entered through the glass clutching Uncle Erkan. Tu San fired his plasma at the hand until it was torn that wanted to release Uncle Erkan. After escaping from the grip, he pulled out his sword and moved to cut the hand.

The hand came back out again, and then appeared his real body which was only the size of a human. With a battle suit and a combat mask covering his face. Before the creature attacked again, Tu San first shot him with as much plasma as possible. While Uncle Erkan choked his neck with telekinesis.

"Tu San, save your bullet" "Call for reinforcements, HURRY!!"

Tu San stopped firing and called the center to send help. Not long after, a plane appeared that was preparing to fire its bullets behind the creature.

The sound of sirens and the roar of the plane's rockets made people in the apartment running downstairs. I heard that voice immediately preparing to run up against the current of panicked people.

My hand slipped due to the constant pressure. Making the album I was holding was crushed by people. I got angry and jumped into the window. I quickly made a repulsion with the wind to jump upstairs.

Fortunately, on the top floor everything was deserted. The broken glass that was stuck to my body was not much. So I can run after them.
