Theft of the Future
Chapter 22
Tomorrow, Laju woke up refreshed after his primary needs were decent
fulfilled. This is because Laju cannot enjoy it so much to the maximum
because the quality provided is not as good as the service of his home.
But how else?
The speed has no choice.
After saying enough thanks to the police officers
the morning blind was on duty, Laju went to the front door to return
explore this absurd city, Kannaris, to find out how he can
go home.
In front of him, there was already Delphia sitting pensively staring around
with a blank look, with a more relaxed feeling. No longer full heat
emotions, and mixed like last night.
“Heh!” The pace snorted again, not caring too much.
Step up with a little confidence.
After all, the only answer he could get was in trouble
how he came home to Parker and his friends. Specifically, on
the woman who could turn into a black crow yesterday, who was named Iris.
It was the woman who brought Laju into this city. Subsequent to
circling the city looking for ways to get out of this strange world, Laju
only finding a dead end ended in despair. Apparently, he
he could only go home with teleportation technology that he absolutely could not
understand, unless the price is expensive.
Maybe, because there are also many vehicles that pass by
city street. For non-urgent needs, they should still
using cars and all. However, if the goal is a little further
which requires cutting travel time, then they will use
the teleportation technique.
Among the city buildings, Laju walked confidently without
pleasantries. As usual, Delphia followed behind him. However, there is a slight difference
from his expression this time. Maybe it has something to do with the words
last night, Delphia no longer walked with a wave, moody, or
bowing head.
He walked more upright, like the rest of the people. In no way
shy or doubtful about something. However, there is a price that must be
remunerated. His eyes now turned blank.
Like thinking of something, separating his body and mind to
doing something different. His body to walk follows his pace, his mind
to fly think of many things.
Well, it's not that it bothers the pace either.
After that, maybe because you are used to walking enough
for the past two days, Laju did not expect himself to be in front
parker's residence building and his friends. Actually, if you count the time
the journey taken by them, 40 minutes have passed.
But it wasn't so thought of.
Because, what made his heart ache now was how he should be
facing again Parker who just yesterday toyed with him, made fun of him,
and ridicule. Moreover, given the proposal that Laju uttered yesterday
it looks more like a whimper than a deal.
“Heh!” With his folded hands over chest – as usual, Rate
grunting thought of how to still maintain his pride.
He looked back. There, Delphia was bored
kicking trash here and there filled time. Wait, what's he looking at
this girl?
“Ugh!” An annoyed pace himself, scratching his head which did not itch.
The pace inhaled a deep breath, taking it out slowly.
He clasped his hand firmly, ready to enter the building.
Like yesterday, Laju crossed the dark alley, passing through many posters
with a writing that he could not read, until he passed through a room full of monsters
who are relaxing reading the newspaper, reading a book, or doing activities
other normal.
Until Laju climbed the stairs, a deep red short monster that was still
doing the task of cleaning had to protect himself because he saw him
come by. A little traumatized because his mentality was being attacked all out by human babble
that, the monster who saw Laju ignored him was even shocked and
falling because of his sense of relief seeing Laju will not scold him anymore.
The actual pace had glanced at him from the end of his gaze. But, because
his goal was no longer to please himself, he was more focused on riding
the stairs lead to the fourth floor to visit Parker's room where there are
a strange creature still strange in his eyes.
Parker with his large body shape, fangs, also horns. Audrey
with his cat's tail and ears, and Aaron with his blue skin color
and gills.
“?”
Everyone in the room was shocked to see Laju coming over haughtily.
But, Laju instead spoke out against or all sorts of protests against Parker.
He came into the room without sin, silent, with his hand inserted
pants pocket, while looking around, grunting, and ending the sitting
without excuse.
Bruuu!
Suddenly, there was a sound like a very loud fart
The pace dropped his body on one of the sofas in the room.
Everyone inside the room was shocked in shock, let alone the pace that was
immediately panicked stood up wondering what had just happened.
“Hahahah! Apparently what hit this boy apparently,” laughter Iris terbahak
until holding his stomach saw his prank succeed again.
“Kh!” The pace tries to resist embarrassment.
Next, he sat back down slowly, while being thankful that there was no sound
another strange one came out. After that, he was calmer to begin with
the conversation.
“Space!? You're back apparently. What's up?” Parker asked with a smile.
“Heh! You're the one who dumped me all the way to the edge of town yesterday?”
“Haha! Don't be so angry. It was Iris' idea. As you can see
just now, they were indeed a little ignorant. You are also finally back
here without any injuries or anything, right?”
“Exploitation!”
“You want us to help you anyway, right? Consider it yesterday
just a test to measure your speed level.”
“Yes. A test. You want to go home, right?”
“Ng!”
“At least, you have to be a worthy person that we can help you with,
right?”
“No need to bother. Of course I'm a worthy person. I always–”
“But yesterday's birth did not prove that?”
“Kh!”
“How. Do you accept this proposal? If you still don't
understand, let me simplify. Do something for me first,
new I'll help you.”
“You think I'm stupid? Of course I understand!” The pace is a little upset.
“Then? What should I do then?”
Parker smiled. “Well, so dong. Just we talked.”
The pace snorted again.
“Before that, probably due to late introductions. Let us
introduce yourself first. Welcome aboard! We are a group
defenders of truth and justice who keep the peace in the city. Yeah, put it simply
are so. Of course we'll help you get home. That's one of our duties.
But, as you promised. You need to help us with our work first. Deal
that's worth it, right? We both benefited.” Parker explained.
Next, Parker further explains the sundries that occur in
these neighborhoods and cities, and their existence among all neighborhoods
social there is.
As Laju already knows, the name of this city is Kannaris.
This Kannaris was the last frontier agreed upon by the
the great racial councils that separate human life and race
othersmore. So, if humans or any other race wanted to be interconnected, this city
that's place.
However, it is not as easy as the theory described. Because,
there are still cities that are referred to as really border-limiting
Kannaris and the human world. And in the border area was the location of the train explosion
the one that Laju and Delphia experienced yesterday. And therefore, you are impossible
find the train tracks around Kannaris.
Speaking with race councils, Parker explained that the outside world
it's still very broad. In fact, they have much more technology
growing than humans. Wh why? Because man never opens
contact with the outside world. Therefore also appeared the city ‘border’.
The city emerged as the last form of human defense for
isolate yourself from other races. Except, lately there have been
a lot of bad people are fond of smuggling on the black market so
Kannaris itself has its own special human area
But, since the pace is not too concerned with the outside world other than
humans and the existence of other races, Parker did not proceed further.
Because all I have in mind is now just going home, Parker just
explain their position, the position of the Kannaris, and the position of the human world
just general.
Where is Parker's position as the defender of truth and
of justice? It has to do with the rogue humans who smuggle
many things and that work on the black market. Because of their arrival,
lately, there have been many racial disputes going on all over the city. This assumption
came from the victims who claimed that they were pitted against the sheep by the
the humans.
And that's where Parker and his group are. It's to make a situation
quieter and help the police if things get out of control. Matters
this is due to the emergence of a group known as Venom Snake
who always poison one race with another to do riots in
in the city, even at war with his own brother.
Actually, there are a lot of members Parker has gathered to
help him maintain order in Kannaris. However, many of them are
work takes missions in many points of the city that are prone to feuds.
One of the human conflicts that occurred recently is
the attack on the train that Iris had already confirmed was the ins and outs. Based on
explanation of the perpetrator ‘sang brother’, they are trying to complain that
a race has caused accidents on the fraction of humans to fish
the commotion and war for their own benefit are not yet known what.
“Then, for your next task, better–”
Before Parker finished his words, Iris interrupted first.
“You have settled the conspiracies of the revolutionary movement by the lackeys of men
who hid in the woods. According to my estimation, they are still one
group with the people you found after the train incident,” Iris
explain.
“Can I trust this woman? What if it turns out that there
I found only her pranks again?” Rapid Protest.
“Haha! Just chill. His nature is always nosy. But, if you have
when it comes to the world of work, his words are a suggestion to me. And with
I see, then that's what you will do next.”
“Heh! If only we had to fight against similar human conspiracies
with the train, isn't it too easy? I can definitely do it
by oneself. Can't you guys increase the difficulty level?”
Tungs!
Aaron threw another marble.
“Wah, you are very confident, yes. Just chill. If you really are
feeling like you can do it alone, this mission will definitely be a lot of fun.
Then, Iris please take them, yes.” Parker.
“Ready,” Iris lowered her head respectfully, instantly spinning suffused by many
black bird feathers flying here and there.
“Wait! What do you want? We can't use transportation
conventional only?” The refused pace will be carried in the Iris bag again
to fly together.
But Iris didn't touch him.
She covered Laju in her arms, closing all her senses slowly,
flying covered the city, and went quickly towards the destination.
The pace that knew Iris would do the ‘itu’ technique again, she started
preparing mentally and physically, especially the mouth and digestion. She declined
feel the nausea that troubles it.
