The Rebirth Of A Genius Woman

98. Mysterious Places

Railene and the group exit the hotel temporarily after lunch. With suitcases and luggage each of the three boarded a car ordered by Maria. Having lived here for several years, Maria is fluent in language with the local people and mostly states her goals and negotiating places.

Riding in a local car, the three headed for the area at the other end of Hulhumale to board the ship to Master Hacker's residence. This person had a strange preference and spread his residence in several adjacent points. It's just, Railene doesn't want to second-guess. He already wanted to learn advanced hacking skills. It was not that he did not dabble, but he did not have a teacher guiding him properly. He did not want to get into trouble and the most appropriate thing was to find a teacher to teach him.

Within a few hours, the three switched vehicles four times and had to board the ship twice. They arrived at the fan's place almost night. After entering the rented hotel for half a month, the three drive themselves in a rented car from the hotel and head to the lively and nightlife center of the bar.

Stopping his car at one of those places, they entered one of the dark and narrow alleys. There was about fifty meters distance between the crowd and the silent passageway of the alley.

"Are you sure this is the place? It's kind of like a detective movie, right?" Ben looked around strangely. Found that this alley is quite dry and does not have anything pleasant.

"You come along and shut up." Railene did not want to talk to her rather chatty brother. Many times they move around and all can not be separated from Ben's question starting from "are you sure" repeated. That sounded a bit annoying in Railene's ears. Although he knew that Ben's thoughts were even noisier than his mouth, he could block and chose not to listen to him along the way.

Ben got a reprimand instantly fell silent. Making a gesture of closing the zipper on his lips. Maria behind the two children was just a small smile. Get used to the silliness of this cold guy on the outside and hot on the inside.

Within a minute, the three reached the end of the alley. There was only a wall with one hole like a counter on the wall. It is aligned with the chest and has strange word instructions on its cover. The hole was only as wide as a glasses box with a tanned yellow metal slab cover. Like a letter hole in the door of a European home in the 2000s.

"Dead-end. Maybe we're going the wrong way?" Ben is speaking again.

Railene did not respond and instead reached into the small bag he was carrying containing his laptop and electronic equipment. He pulled out a letter with a rare stamped envelope on it. The seal is still neatly covered with a word logo similar to the one in the pendant hole in the wall.

Railene remembered the words Selena left behind in her farewell letter. If it got to the point where he found the same logo with this letter seal, then he would have to hand it over or put it into the available hole. There are three places that can be done with this transaction. However, there was only one hole that gave access permission. It's unpredictable which one because it changes every day.

Now he found the hole in question and planned to put the letter into the counter. He still believes in the power of his luck. Where he is, he will be lucky.

So, without hesitation Railene pushed his letter and managed to throw it into the hole of the counter. The sound of a slight hinge broke the silence around. Then it was gone replaced silence for a whole minute.

"Rail..this-"

Before Ben's words were finished, a crack opened up on the wall beside him which almost made him aghast to fall. He moved to the side of Railene and watched as a crack in the wall formed a door. They faintly saw a faint light from behind the door and then saw a passageway with a dim light inside.

"Jeez, surprise me!" Ben whispered almost cursing.

Railene and Maria looked at each other and walked in. Ignoring the protesting Ben and asking to be careful.

"Hey, don't just go in, who knows this is a trap? We're overseas now, Rail. We can't guarantee it's safe." Ben grabbed Railene's hand with a worried look.

"Sister, you believe me. This is a real road. Comein. Just trust me," said Railene, not budging and dragging Ben inside.

"Let's go in." Railene made a noise and ignored the closed doors. He knew that he was right and everything that happened was in accordance with the contents of Selena's letter.

In the letter, Selena said that there will be a door that opens after someone behind the counter reads the letter sent. This signifies the approval of the host to receive guests who wish to meet. Sometimes this method is used by clients who need help from a host. After entering, Railene had to pass through the hallway and arrive at one door with a password that he had memorized thanks to Selena's notice.

Justright. After they walked in the hallway a few meters away, he found a wooden door with a password under the knob. Railene took care of it and a small beep sounded the door sign open. He pushed open the door and saw a two-meter-high staircase leading to the room below.

At first glance the room looks ordinary and simple with furniture that is also simple. There was only one round conference table, several surrounding chairs, a television, a projector screen, and elegant accessories on the wall. The floor was covered in a soft grey carpet and there was a shelf of sandals near the stairs.

Railene goes down first and lets Inchara out investigate around. In the room it looks warm with bright lights on the ceiling. There was a door near the projector screen that Railene was sure headed for another room.

The three got off and replaced their shoes with sandals on the shelf according to the command in English on the shelf. Looking around, Railene found Inchara back with a confused face. Railene asked telepathically.

"What's wrong?"

"There is a house behind the door, the living room, the kitchen, the same three rooms that the other two filled residents. There was a middle-aged man in one of the rooms containing a computer and a cctv. The room next to it is a victorian style bedroom. By the way, the old man is observing us through the cctv." Inchara explained honestly and Railene came to the conclusion that the old man did live alone in this place.

From the features that Inchara mentioned, Railene could see that the old man was a bit like a hikkikomori.

A few seconds they stood in the room, the wooden door near the projector screen opened and displayed the figure of an old man in a bomber jacket and shorts. He was wearing white hotel sandals that seemed to have been worn for a long time.

The 1.7-meter-tall man was a little thin with an unshaved beard and gray long hair tied carelessly. His face is a European character with a pointed nose, thick eyebrows, and bluish irises.

"Murid Moon?" Ask the old man in English. His voice was heavy and his tone was rather unpleasant.

Railene raised a puzzled eyebrow then read his thoughts. With a small smile on her pretty face she replied, "Yes, you are Mr. Greg?" Railene asked with attention to the man's face which became more friendly.
