Theft of the Future

Chapter 23

“Already arrived,” said Iris slowly.

The wings were opened, the vision of Laju slowly returned.

After a half-hour long journey, very adventurous,

The pace could finally breathe fresh air again, and recover from a hangover

his journey.

Now, he was in a place far away from the city center again. In spite of

I see, it seems that this area is different from yesterday's farm. Here, the whole

the environment is covered with many trees. No. gabe. The forest is the answer

more precise.

“Do you have any problems with the suburbs?” Ask a Rate while

looking around. “Why do I always end up in this place, anyway?”

“Haha, your instincts are good too, yes. But don't worry. Venue selection

it has nothing to do with the preferences I have. Take it easy,” says

Iris while laughing.

“Heh!” Grunting Rate with a wry face.

Iris' words just now were nothing more than a mere joke

not to be trusted at all. In fact, it made him even more suspect

as a nosy handyman.

The rate of turning his body wanted to ask more about the task

his first. But, when he saw Iris who was cleaning up, he,

beside her it turned out to be a figure of Delphia who was standing no matter.

“Why does this girl come with everything?”

Delphia. But, he was not as stumbling and agitated as usual.

Similar to earlier this morning, his expression was now more neutral, and controllable.

And even more astonishing was the answer Delphia dared to throw away

face on Rate.

The pace of wonder, also confusion.

All this behavior must have been the result of last night. But, Laju chose not to mind it

it will not have much effect on his life. Precisely isn't

Delphia should have apologized for stalking him all along,

bother him, and make life difficult?

Geh!

“Wah what is this? Is there a love fight?” Ask Iris

teasingly.

“So where is the plot?” Chiming rate.

“Eeeh!?” Iris protested because the monkey love discussion could not

resumes.

But Iris was not desperate. Even after a long time, he remained seductive

and ask what just happened yesterday when they had to get lost in

town.

But what did Iris expect? Delphia who can't speak, too

The pace with his arrogance. Yasudah. Maybe he should ask this

next time.

Audie will love this story!

Afterwards, Iris explained in more detail the tasks that must be done

by Laju. In the forest, there are ruins that become a place

the camp of human conspirators. Where's inscribed? That's the job that

must be completed. The information Iris could provide was only its location

in the forest.

Maybe this will take days, days,

weeks, or even months. Iris said she didn't care.

This task is not so important that it must be completed immediately. Anyway, on

eventually they will move into the city and will remain there. But, if

indeed Laju managed to destroy the post within the forest, this would make

parker's job is made easier.

This issue was returned to Laju. If he works faster

his job, isn't he able to pay his debt to Parker and could be more

hurry home? Iris shrugged her shoulders. It's up to the pace.

“Then what about food or drink?”

“Eh..?”

Iris gave a surprised expression, like not understanding the question

Ask even with clear and clear language. It's just, it's just,

the context makes no sense to question, does it?

“What am I eating there?”

“Loh!? You said you're not an ordinary man? They should be looking for natural food

can you do it, dong!? Or in fact you are just a weak and ordinary human being

helplessly? After acting presumptuous need no help and all sorts?

Eh!?” Iris narrowed her eyes, furrowed her brows, asking in full

question mark.

“Kh!” Looks like a blunder

“Loh, right?”

“Iya-iya. Just wait for my return tomorrow! You're gonna cry

whining for help!” exclaiming the pace while turning over.

“Oh yes, if you have reached the ruins, paste this tracking device.

So that after that I can easily patrol or confirm whether

you are right to do the task completed or not,” exclaimed Iris while

giving a small tool from his pocket to Laju.

“Heh!” Grunts Laju in response after lazily receiving the tool

those.

“Then, have fun!” said Iris, followed by

his change into a bird again, went flying away lost from sight

Speed, also Delphia.

The pace is ready to complete the task quickly and perfectly.

He turned his back while unintentionally looking at Delphia, then they turned to each other

throw away the views of each other even though in the end it is still the road together

towards the wilderness.

At the beginning of the exploration, this forest is no different from the forest

The pace of knowing, as the forest usually does.

Despite that, he still had a little trouble exploring due to being unfamiliar

walk with obstacles and obstacles that bother him. Well that's a

sharp shrubs, uneven ground, scattered rocks

here and there, or also troublesome plant roots travel.

Because it has no clear purpose, the pace has no choice

in addition to walking around the forest without direction. Adventuring here and there, getting deeper, deeper,

increasingly entering the ins and outs of the forest, leaving a silhouette of a slow highway

disappear.

When you walk for more than an hour, there are many things

starting to be troublesome which indicates this forest is indeed not a normal forest

as he knows in the human world. One of them is the river

in front of the rapidly flowing pace, here also with the fish that

jump around and other animals.

The problem is that the river water is not as clear as it is

Know-how pace. How could he drink this suspicious water? Yang

deep purplish pink, like strawberry juice. Despite the Rate

have made physical contact with the river water that turned out not to be

an acidic water that can melt anything that touches it. But, uh,

I hesitated and used it.

The pace looked towards Delphia. He can see the future, right?

Is the answer to the doubt of the flow of this river can be answered?

But, Laju instead snorted in annoyance. “Heh!”

What's Delphia coming for, anyway? He just sat down on the rock,

water play, and all sorts of things. When the rate gives a signal about water

river, Delphia just warms shoulders not knowing, maybe not caring either.

Well then, the choice of pace now is to identify water

the river passes through a fish that has just jumped which can also be caught by Laju

effortlessly.

The pace of preparing a simple fireplace, he skinned with a knife from a stone

so he grilled the fish and cut it into pieces to find the meat

edible. After inspecting the fish that have just matured, the pace can

seeing that the fish does have a strange physical because it has two

tail, but it doesn't really matter.

Fresh white meat can be seen clearly.

The pace of feeling confident.

He sniffed the meat to find out if there were any

strange scents, and then he tried to taste and eat meat

those.

“Hoeeeek,” Rate of spewing the fish.

The feeling he felt now was his slight sense of discernment

bothered by the taste of the fish meat he had just eaten. Nah! Don't

was wrong! The texture of the fish he ate was still similar to the fish he was used to

the meal. It's just, burning fish with potency and hoping for flavor

the same thing he got at home was a big mistake.

This meat is tasteless and has no taste at all, except the taste of charcoal

tutung.

The pace rubbed his mouth.

He stared at the fish once more, continuing to eat the meat

until exhausted. It's stifling, it's troublesome, it's also depressing. Go to the forest

without any preparation except high self-esteem does not give

any positive impact on him.

After the fish runs out, then Laju thought to start vertical

drinking water from the pink river.

He bent down to fetch the river water with his hands, to

next he smelled the smell of the river. Actually, this river does not exist

the problem was absolutely nothing except that the colors were extremely unreasonable. But, uh,

if you see a lot of strange monsters roaming the city, giving strange words is not

again is acceptable.

The pace of looking around, trying to find the source of the river water, this,

search the river. He looked to his right the opposite place

the river's flow path, the place he was supposed to be.

He saw a small waterfall located in the distance. And indeed, water

what flows is still purplish pink water.

Should have been, Laju could have just drank this. The thing is, the water in the shower

the city still looks as clear as drinking water in general! The pace can only

grunts complained about all these forest entities.

As long as you are busy choosing between drinking or not, there is the sound of a bush

who move behind him. His instincts said, the voice is not a voice

the friendly.

The pace begins to take a position to go away from the source of the river,

to avoid all the problems that could happen to him before being able to search

the ruins that became a stopover for the plotters who would become

tickets to go home.

Luckily, the pace moves quickly and precisely.

Behind the sound of the bush, appeared a beast that looked ferocious

and fierce, which walked on two legs, with a height of approximately two

metre. The animal actually resembles a bear. However, bear skin

it consists of many scales that are sharp like hedgehogs, but more

it's big! Not to forget also its sharp and large claws that can

subvert Rate one time claw.

The shivering rate itself when peeking at the beast from behind

shrubland.

The source of the river is indeed a gift and a gift to

healing the taste of dagaha. The problem is, it's not just the pace that is

thirst. There were hundreds of beasts that were no less savage were thirsty and

need drinking water.

Forgetting his thirst, Laju prefers to run away, hoping to

get another source of water that can answer the thirst.

***

Later that night, Laju still has not found the ruins mentioned by

Irises. Perhaps, this will indeed take quite a long time. Speed should

prepare to face days that may be worse than today.

Sleeping staring at the night sky is not a bad thing

at all. In fact, it's a very pleasant thing. Very calming, though,

very soothing to heart. Remember the last time he looked up at the night sky

it was when he was playing swings at his home complex.

At first, he smiled while recalling a good memory

delightful. However, because the memory is followed by the presence of the first Delphia

the time that started his troublesome days, he was even annoyed himself.

Make no mistake, actually Laju still trying to calm his heart

while gazing at this beautiful and beautiful night sky. With

more stars, green and pink in the sky

like the aurora, the sounds of night insects are very pleasant.

Unfortunately, Laju could not enjoy this night for a second. Sleep in

over uncomfortable ground, with hungry and thirsty stomach conditions, too

the coldness emanating from the night breeze deeply pierced his skin.

Actually, Laju plans to get a little padded feeling on

grasses. However, it was immediately canceled because after a few minutes

lying down, there are many insects such as ants and their friends who actually

makes his body itch.

Well, today was exhausting.

But, at least Laju can rest himself.

Close your eyes, sleep asleep, try to refresh yourself, and tune in

reworked all of his body functions. The pace is just hoping, he can quickly

finding the ruins as Iris talked about.

He could begin to imagine what if all happened smoothly

and smoothly, so that in the end can go home, and forget all the weirdness

these. In order to return to normal life like humans in general,

with his family. Don't forget about a better life, too

the academy announcement could reach his parents.

The pace of grinning, self-smiling, gives a boost to

mental health to be able to sleep well.

Or that's what Laju expects to happen.

“NGGAAA-A’ NGAAAAAAAA-AA’!”

There was the sound of a crisp cry that slowly filled the entire

the forest, especially where Laju is located.

In fact, Laju has scanned its territory used for sleep. And

it is certain that there is no sign of a wild beast

bothered him.

Where did this voice come from?

The pace immediately rose to sit up and immediately woke up to be alert.

He could not help fighting this beast. Last afternoon, he just

underestimating a plant that looks harmless, but leaves it instead

makes her hands hot and itchy when she touches them.

He looked around, trying to guess where the sound was coming from

emanating.

“HUUUOOO-OHHH!!! HUUU-UH-HHHH!!!! HUHH!!!”

Next, a more rounded and heavy sound chimed in

that cempreng earlier.

The problem is, the unanimous voice even makes the scream more

become so. What the hell is going on? Is there a dispute between

an animal?

Then it is, Laju must immediately move to find a more place

be safe.

But, the pace must still find the direction of the animal's arrival. If

The wrong pace of running, he even came to the danger that makes it more

easy to pounce. The pace of his head.

He still loves his life.

“NGAAAA’!!!”

A second later, the cry was heard again. In fact,

this voice is louder than before. The animals are near

within a radius that can be recognized? The answer is YES!

The sound of a round cry came from above him. Come from

tree branches, where there are many hordes of small animals

running around, like avoiding something. The beast is like an

monkey, but with wings.

There is no time to be surprised. There's been too much weirdness

which he received in these last days. All he can do now is

immediately respond to the cry of the animal to seek refuge.

Subconsciously, Laju immediately ran towards Delphia who was also seen

shocked and afraid for him to hold his hand, and run away together to avoid the monkey

this winged.

Although the monkey was small, Laju no longer wanted to play around and underestimate

them. After all, this beast was simply not to be underestimated. In spite of

less than a meter tall, the winged monkey had red eyes and fangs

sharp is enough to give a reason for Laju to avoid

dealing with this little beast.

Maybe, if the number is only one, the rate can still be dealt with by using

the wooden stick he was carrying as a battle tool

modified into a weapon. But the endless scream

the silhouette above the tree indicates the number of these winged monkeys there are hundreds!

Moreover, these monkeys were running away from something.

There must be a bigger problem that you should also avoid!

It was only after 15 minutes that the pace ran without direction with tired and eyes

drowsiness, they can rest a little quietly under the tree

quite leafy.

“Haa-ah! Haaahhh!” The pace of gasping out of breath.

Seeing the same Delphia being out of breath and sprawled, with

no doubt Laju gave her the purple apple she had stored as this stock

to him.

At first, Delphia was a little shocked by this shocking mannerism.

But, Gestur Laju said that Delphia could accept this to refresh

the fatigue.

Without further ado, Delphia drank her saris, then ate the least meat,

the truth cannot cure all his tiredness.

But, this is enough.

“So, is there any suggestion or whatever it is, about the future, about

this problem?”

Delphia turned her head, responding to Laju's question.

He kept the finished fruit on the grass, sitting down

leaning on both of his legs, also regulated his breathing before being able to answer

that question. In fact, all Delphia could give was a skirt

chief.

The pace doesn't respond much.

The pace did not make a sound, other than his breathing which was still not regular.

“Nothing?”

Only after his heart was colder and his breathing more orderly did Laju begin

asked Delphia again about her strength that could look to the future.

“For this forest? A guide or path we must use in order to be able to

home?”

But, Delphia could only shake her head.

There was no answer Laj could wear to help him get out of the

the problem is easily, to find the ruins easily.

“Ck!” The speed of clicking his tongue.

It will indeed be very difficult, especially since Delphia is only

will be his bully, will only trouble him.

But somehow, Laju was not so disappointed with anything that night.

He simply looked at the night sky, trying to calm his heart back down.
