Theft of the Future
Chapter 20
After some time, Laju finally woke up.
Slowly, his senses began to function again to fulfill his task.
But, Laju instead hopes that his senses can be deactivated if
conditions like this. Before the vision can be properly optimized,
rapid olfaction first works to stimulate the mouth and digestion to
spit something out of the stomach.
“Hooeeeeek!” The sudden pace is not feeling well.
The pace spewed out something, but nothing came out. Wanted
hows it? His stomach was filled with nothing but wind and false hope.
This nausea starts from his disgust that appears suddenly.
Upon investigation, the origin of this scent may have come from the next room.
There were a lot of animal noises mixed with each other. Is
is this a farm? There was the sound of goats, sheep, cows, chickens, a lot of apparently.
The pace rubbed his mouth and saliva after the fake vomit earlier. No
forgot he also covered half his nose in order to unpleasant aroma from the
the mixture of mud and stool does not stimulate his stomach to regurgitate
something's.
While rising from the floor of the room that is only grounded, Laju
look at the condition further. How long has he been asleep?
Is this tomorrow? There was sunlight streaming in
behind a small window on the wall. But is that really sunlight?
What if it's just artificial lighting like any other fluorescent light?
No. gabe. Asking time is not important.
What Laju wants to know now is where is he now?
Yes, he did understand that he was on a farm thanks to
there were many animal sounds that he heard. But, the exact position he is in
whereabouts?
Besides, why is he on the farm?
“Hurgh!” His stomach was nauseous again.
The room he was in was more miserable than all the rooms he was in
The pace can be recognized. With the natural floor of the ground and mud with a piercing smell, the,
visible walls of cement and uneven clay, windows
the potluck might be made accordingly because there is no frame, nor the roof
from the leaves are not neat because of many holes. Is it still in town
that same?
Whahuh? What's the name of the city? The kannaris?
The dubious pace of that.
Differences in technology and architectural quality in material selection
the construction contained in this room is very ancient when compared to
a modern city full of monsters yesterday. Full hologram, neon lighting
which is eccentric, until the vehicle that flies here.
But, if you talk about the slum and remote suburbs that
it is located in the city where it came from, which is a city full of people. This room is still
it is tolerable and makes a lot of sense.
In his hometown? The pace of thinking back to the statement.
IS THE PACE BACK?
TO HIS HOMETOWN?
The pace slowly rose away towards the already fragile wooden door in the
ahead of him.
The summit!
But the door is locked.
“Ah, dammit!” upset Rate. “This is like prison,” he continued.
The pace of trying them reworked all the events he remembered before
it ends in this room. He went to a building, a little quarreled with
the leader of the group, what is his name? Bullstone Parker? Then face off
with the blue monster shimmering, Delphia turns white again
finally unconscious because drowned in a water ball that made him
can't breathe.
The pace of remembering that drowning feeling.
It's very uncomfortable.
He thought, that water ball will instantly end his life on the spot.
But, with her current self clearly being able to inhale no scent
fun and disgusting from the animal next door. This is evidence
that he is still alive.
“So what was the fight yesterday?”
Should he be grateful? The pace itself does not know. There's no one
it ended up right in his life lately. All that happens is
a very absurd and senseless mess.
“Negotiation is not running smoothly, yes?” Ask yourself the pace.
He turned his back, remembering his ambush speech. She's shy. Speech like
it was not a negotiation, or a quality conversation. It's just babbling
it is sad to ask a stranger to return him.
The pace feels strange.
Why people seem to be able to speak so vaguely
tha?
But before thinking about it all, Laju had to think first
a real problem, and in front of his eyes, about how he could
get out of this place.
Slowly, his hand was removed not to cover his nose anymore, and
learn to adapt to the environment. As usual, he crossed
his hand was on his chest, leaning against the wooden door, and began to think things through.
There is a small hope that Lajar is trying to escape his efforts from
this prison.
Wood is the base material for the door that closes this room is visible
very fragile. But not really. This fragile door is quite sturdy because it can still be
hold on even after the thrust and kick as hard as you can.
Therefore, he sends his back to this fragile door with
hope can damage the hinge so that the door can open afterwards.
And it turns out, that hope came true.
When Laju was still grumbling figuring out a way out that could
he tried, the door suddenly opened and made him fall.
Bugh!
The falling rate slams.
But it's not because of the door hinges that are porous by the body weight of the Rate
and just fall. The wooden door opened normally like the door
generally. Open bent according to the hinge that sustains it.
“Ugh!” The pace groans in pain.
He rubbed his head a little sore from the impact and
see who is in charge of the door that suddenly opens
those.
In front of him there is Delphia who still looks excited and trying
apologizing for making Laju fall because of his actions. See girls
who had always been troublesome in front of him, innocently holding a
lock, and open the door of the room immediately make the rate rise blood.
“SO THIS IS ALL YOU, HUH!? Lock me up in a place like this
an entire night? What the hell!? What do you want, anyway!?” Snapping at this poor girl.
But, unlike before that only silent a thousand words – though
indeed Delphia still did not speak, did not speak, did not speak. Now, now,
Delphia is more actively trying to
answering fast anger.
He shook his head and hands with a mixed expression
between fear and surprise, but also worry and the desire to cry.
While Laju stood up and cleaned the dust all over his clothes,
actually, Laju also understands where Delphia's position between yesterday's feud.
In those seconds Laju was unconscious, he could clearly see that
Delphia cried her drowning with little effort wanting to help and
helped him. After all, when he was about to enter the unconscious phase, he
feeling his own body being lifted up by his hands and large stature. That
definitely Parker. Maybe it was the group who locked up Laju in this place.
With that statement, it was clear Delphia was his friend who
he came to help her.
The pace of knowing that fact.
But maybe because his heart is hot because of stress and many things, he
bestow all his frustration on Delphia that is not wrong.
“Heh!” Grunting Rate after he cleaned up all the troublesome dirt and
get out of this farm. And as always, despite all the behavior
what Laju gave to Delphia was not good, he still followed Laju for
walk away from this place.
Although now – may be due to the Rate that can not do anything
against this girl, Laju just let her do whatever she wants and
followed him. Because, even though Lajang refused even though he would definitely remain
follow him, I don't know why.
Of course this is not because of the pace that does not know the way so
needed Delphia to guide him back downtown. Of course not. In spite of
he doesn't know where, pace doesn't
direction blind! He can go home without Delphia's help though!
After looking around and guessing. You can see silhouettes
buildings and buildings rise in the distance. Actually, maybe it's still
it is part of the city of Kannaris. But, the distance might be quite far from the center
the city that Laju recognized when yesterday walked with the woman named
Irises.
After walking for a long time. The pace of finding that place
it is still passed by the main road crossed by the hovering vehicle though
not as crowded as downtown. When looking at the end of the road in the opposite direction,
also visible are the silhouettes of buildings that may already be other cities
because the shape of the building and its livelihood that looks different from that of Laju
recognize yesterday.
If concluded, maybe the pace is in a small area
a little more fertile than the city center, in a suburb of Kannaris.
There are actually a lot of choices as to where the pace should go. He's not anymore
imprisoned and required to go somewhere. But, the pace is not so
wanna bet. He only knew the city of Kannaris as the city of yesterday
he came after the incident on the train tracks. So, the goal is very clear.
Go to the city of Kannaris, then visit the train station that should be
could be a clue to go home. He came by a car, then
the way he came home was by train again.
“Alright!” Say Rate.
With such easy-to-find solutions, Laju's confidence is also
peaking burned his spirit. His steps are more robust and ready himself
to home.
Unfortunately, the spirit only burned for 30 minutes.
Even though it had been that long, he still had not found any signs of her
will arrive at the city center. Hundreds of vehicles passed through
they, although Laju already do various ways to get a ride.
Unfortunately there was not a single vehicle that cared about the foreign boy in the
this sad roadside.
The pace remembered something.
He turned around, startling Delphia.
“You came here from the city center, right? By vehicle, right?” Ask
Swift.
Delphia rolled her eyes, thinking. Lucky, not like before
who just kept quiet. Delphia this time was willing to answer even with a pause
that was so long. A little wonder. It's just an easy question that can
answered with yes or no. Why is it so hard?
Afterwards, Delphia finally replied with a nod.
The pace was shocked by that answer, feeling his effort for 30 minutes
futilely.
“Then why don't we just go home by vehicle then? Wearied
walking is endless already 30 minutes,” said Laju disappointed. “Then where?
Where's vehicle? Do we have to go back to where we were?”
No need to think as long as the previous question, for that time
Unfortunately, that's not a fun answer.
Delphia shook her head violently, as well as both of her hands.
“No? Wasn't he? Whaties? What is not?” The pace is getting frustrating again.
Delphia turned back and tilted her head. The pace is off, that is
not a question Delphia could answer. The question is too
specific and difficult. The pace took a breath to make itself calm again,
to start asking Delphia.
“So we can not use the vehicle to return to the city?”
Delphia nodded.
Of course the next step question is to ask the reason
the answer of Delphia. But immediately Pace up again to be replaced with
another question that is easier to answer.
“But you went here by vehicle?”
Delphia nodded.
“Am I brought here by vehicle?”
Delphia nodded again.
“Oh, so we were taken by Parker and his friends that?”
Delphia nodded back
“Then they left us like this?” The pace back asked,
but not for Delphia. He got the answer he wanted.
Returns back to body to continue the journey
city centre.
“Tsk!” The speed of clicking his tongue. His expression shriveled softly.
“Just bother these monsters!”
But the problem is, what did Laju bring here for? It could actually be
he ended up where Parker and his friends wanted to be. But, why did it arrive
bothered to spend some time moving Laju here.
What goals are they trying to achieve?
The question cannot be answered for another two hours. In addition to
since there was no point in taking care of others, his mind became extremely messy
due to hungry stomach, thirsty throat, and tired body.
After two and a half hours of walking, they were surrounded again
towering buildings, holograms that filled the intersection, and lights
neon everywhere. No longer by the arid meadows, a little
plants except the cactus, which is traversed by a little selfish vehicle because
unwilling to be boarded by two exhausted boys.
Luckily, there is a free shower on the sidewalk. Despite that, though,
He still does not want to try anything beyond his ability. He's trying to learn
from his experience or will happen again disasters and disasters that are not
wanted if he was reckless. How if actually the contents of the shower
is it suspicious and dangerous water that kills him?
That's not funny.
But it turns out, the primary needs of these creatures and monsters are the same
like life in general, mineral water as a flavor healer
thirst.
After pretending to sit in the chair next to her
waiting for someone to use and show the contents of the shower, the,
new Laju dares to use it to cure thirst in
his throat had dried up like the desert he had been passing through.
Not to forget also after Laju finished using it, Delphia joined the drink
walking for two hours is very draining.
It's coincidence! It's just a coincidence! The pace of trying to convince
by oneself. After Delphia finished drinking, then Laju started to rise again and
back walk. Realizing this, Laju is of course very upset with
a little shame.
Nah! No way! The pace started to run again not because of waiting
Delphia finished her drink! Nah! Not at all! It's just a coincidence!
The pace just rested his legs a little longer.
Yep! He rested his feet!
“Then now, where can I find the station?” Get the pace slowly
seeing around.
He could have directly asked a passer-by, because there was
dozens of monsters passed by in front of him right now. But, the pace must
carefully choose to see and identify who the monsters are in condition
his heart is fine, or he will be thrown free again like yesterday.
“Hah!? Station?” After nine monsters, this time it was only seen
will respond well enough. Although it seems very little
information that can be obtained. “Sana, there! There anyway,” he said
while showing the direction behind him.
“Where? Couldn't he give a clearer benchmark of directions?” Swearing at himself. But, uh,
when Laju wanted to ask further, the tenth monster had already disappeared
between the city and the city.
The speed has no other choice. He went in the direction mentioned
although it is still very ambiguous.
As expected, there was nothing indicating a station.
There was no need for him to understand the writing in this city that he did not understand. Without
need to understand the writing, content offered a place or store already
can explain the function of the presence of the place or store.
After turning around asking around here and there was no one who
provide a clear explanation of the existence of a station, or a rail
chariots.
“Is there not a single transportation service in this city?” Ask a Rate
start surrendering.
Laju tried to think back to how he could be in this city.
It was obvious he could remember that he was indeed on a train
that goes on the train tracks, right? He uses transportation services
train, a long cube machine of iron. Yes, he did use it.
How did he get to this town?
The pace returned his memory.
Oho!
He leaves with Iris with the ability to transform herself into a bird.
Then what about after? What information can he get from
Iris who brought them into this city?
“Haah,” complacently exhaling pace.
There aren't.
She couldn't remember how she flew with Iris because
his focus was on his nauseous stomach. After all, when they come to
the city is under a building. Not at the border or
it connects a city with its environment.
Waitaminute! The building may be a clue about
station and train tracks! It could be a station
which he had been looking for all this time.
The pace rushed to remember the shape of the city to try to return to the place
first he came to this town. But, Laju again complained of exhaling
her breath.
This building is nothing but an office building that does not exist
it has to do with all the information he needs. The pace has even been
trying to break in to see the content offered by
that building. But, he could not barge in other than just the table
just receptionist.
After all, this is indeed an office building.
He felt tired and started to want to give up on his goal this time.
What he did was in vain.
While stepping regretting all his efforts, he found there was
a board consisting of a lot of writing and paper that can
identified as notice boards and information.
Uh! Although this was not the answer that Laju wanted, but this was of course
a board full of information that could help him. On the board, there are
a map showing the entire city of Kannaris.
After scanning all the map information, the rate in line
big can capture the full information he needs. First, he can
seeing the location he was exiled at the border of the farm which is still located
in the Kannaris region, it is not the city center.
Second, he could see the building where Parker and his friends were
in the west. Third, he forgot why not just ask the police for help
this until the goal changes.
And fourth, THERE IS NO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SUCH AS STATIONS,
AIRPORT, OR SOMETHING IN THIS CITY.
The originally aghast pace was shocked to see the strangeness of this same city
it cannot be understood by its logic. He's silent, can't be anymore
commenting on all the strangeness of this city.
“For what? Since teleportation, transportation services such as
it's obsolete and outdated. This is a strange question coming up anyway
from a boy who should always keep up with the times. Hahahah!” Laughter
a monster wearing a uniform in a building that Laju has identified
as a police station.
There are many questions that I want to ask. If it is teleportation
found, what are all these passing vehicles for? Then where is he
can you find a place to teleport? Can't they help him
go home? And all sorts of other questions.
But before that, Laju asks the police for help as the boy gets lost
to take him away to the end of the city, to ascertain for himself his fate
tired of not being able to go home easily.
“Are you satisfied?” ask the police when they are in
the southernmost border of the city. As you recall the pace that had seen the condition
the neighborhood when on the train, from the area where he came.
And that which was before him, was nothing but a highway
bridging the dirty river to other cities. There are no stations or tracks
a train that can be used to go home.
“Then what about teleportation? Can't I use it for
home?” He asked, as the sun began to sink.
“First, I don't know the place you're talking about. Because, teleportation
can only be used also two tools work well in the place of origin and
destinations. Second, teleportation is not a cheap travel system. And I
can't help you unless there's a clear identity. Too many
misuse of teleportation used for illegal travel
which is bad for society. I can give you empathy when
my brother is a lost boy. That's a lot going on actually. But, help
all I can give you is a place to stay in the office,” said the police
who slowly patted Laju's shoulder.
Staring at the sun that had slowly sunk, Laju could not yet
commenting words. He was still shocked, seeing all the weirdness that was happening
on himself. He should still be able to go home. But, the answer was on Iris, though,
as the woman who yesterday brought him to this city.
The problem is, getting information from women is not easy. Him
the subordinate of Parker, the burly man who had just defeated him yesterday.
Tired, upset, and desperate. But he still has to go home
anyhow.
Slowly, there was another pat that was more smooth and gentle from the side
his left. It's Delphia. Strange girl who always follows him wherever he is
go awayl. Initially, Laju wanted to rebuke and yell at Delphia again as the perpetrator
for everything that happened to him.
But, Laju is too tired.
Yuuuuu!!
The stomach sounds pretty loud. He looked behind him, though,
two policemen sitting on the hood of the front car were relaxed and
laughingly.
The pace left a clap of Delphia's hands and slowly approached the police
it was to receive the little help they could give to the boy
the head, the tired, the lost do not know this way home.
