Theft of the Future

Chapter 24

The pace can only get a break for at most about two hours.

When he knows he can rest and lean on a tree after counting

the winged monkey screams last night are over. Apparently, the wild beast

being the reason hundreds of monkeys running around came slowly shaking the ground,

it made a very disturbing earthquake.

The pace and Delphia who were awakened, accidentally saw a savage beast

which turned out to be an enormous monster that was walking at once

destroy everything in front of him.

The monster was about 15 meters tall!

Although the height of the forest is still higher than him, if

compare an ordinary human being less than two meters tall to

facing that 15-meter monster, it was certain to guess who would be

won the duel, right?

If Laju's memory is correct, he resembles an ogre mystical creature with skin

deep blue. But, maybe the skin is present due to reflection from moonlight

and not the true skin color of the monster.

The ogre was screaming incoherently, very disturbing. Initially,

The pace thinks so. But, the longer they hear and pay attention to the screams

at that point, Laju realized that the scream was not a scream without reason to show off

existence only. The cry, resembling a cry for help, was,

despair, and sadness.

Surrounded by many insects that resemble large fireflies

five times larger than an ordinary firefly, he walked without direction while

dragging the tree trunk.

Initially, Laju had been curious what was mourned by this ogre. But, uh,

he had no time to investigate, nor to care. His sleep was disturbed

make his emotions run. He better run for safe haven, to

continue the rest.

But, still. It seemed, resting in this forest would not

effortlessly.

When they reached a cave filled with rocks

which resembles a large stalactite for resting themselves, it turns out to be a cave

it's a living creature. Because from the beginning, this was not a cave. Rockies

what the stalactites thought was a giant snake fang, and this cave is

her mouth. Lucky, nimble The pace went straight out pulling Delphia

looking for a safe place.

Is there a safe place in this forest?

If it was safe, would he be able to rest in peace?

The answer is no.

The pace and Delphia were still running around tiredly looking for a place

to rest in peace. But, there are only animals or monsters that

disturb them both directly like the snake and some

the other beast that attacked Laju was distracted by his presence. Or else

which is indirectly like those winged monkeys who scream

shrill from being chased by a giant ogre.

Before I could care, the sun was already there

scattering and shining the morning sign has come. Cocktail

very rough and tight chicken – which turned out to be big chicken is almost five

metre. The pace of restarting the second day in the forest was mystical, noisy, and full

this danger mara.

“Nih,” Exclamation Rate.

His eyes now have black pockets. He actually needs more

lots of rest time. But, if only for enough activity, he

can still work on it. Or rather, the rate prefers to

force yourself to wake up, move as necessary, and come back

looking for clues about the ruins as his ticket home. She didn't

could spend longer in this troublesome forest.

“Ng!” Delphia replied.

They were on the river again.

Luckily, this river looked perfectly normal like a river

generally what the pace knows. Clean and transparent water, fish that do not

it has two tails, wet rocks next to it, and green shrubs

With ease, the pace of the campfire was again set up to burn the fish.

Although still not found anything that could fill that position

functioning as a salt-like taste, Laju still has to fill his stomach.

After burning one and giving it to Delphia, Rate burns another

for himself.

About an hour had passed for them.

This hour is precious because they are no longer bothered by

monsters or other ferocious beasts randomly and suddenly.

Burning the fish he was grasping, Laju stared inside without

thinking anything. He was enjoying the silence he could

obtained this. In fact, when his hands were slightly burned because of his position

being too close to the fire, Laju was not so aware of it.

Is it because his body is tired of responding?

Or does the pace not care much anymore?

Only after, the rate of lifting the fish pierced by the twig

to devour. Although it still did not have its taste and flesh that little

mushy, Laju did not protest other than to eat it up.

It was only after three hours had passed that it had been very calm and peaceful until

The pace had already replenished his supply and took a short break, there was a strange sound

from behind the waterfall.

Initially, the sounds were just the splashing of ordinary water.

But, the longer the spark is getting weird and unnatural.

Apparently, in front of them was a snake as big as a crocodile

in the middle of the river. Actually, compared to weirdness

many monsters and beasts they encountered yesterday, these snakes did not exist

whatwhat the fuck. However, the snake is still a wild animal that can

knock them out in seconds.

Delphia who was behind Laju was slightly aghast.

First, because of the sound of the snakes that broke their calm. Second, because

speed that instantly gives instructions to immediately move places.

And the third, is how the hand of Laju subconsciously

he looked as if he was giving protection to her. Delphia smiled

awkward. He was a little confused as to how to respond to the treatment. But, uh,

actually Delphia did not need to bother to think about it.

Because, before he could think of what Laju really thought, his hand

it was already withdrawn to go back to running together.

And then they re-entered the forest.

Running without direction, except the instinct that guides them.

Delphia has no solution to this problem. His power

to see the future is not being used at a crucial time

these. Basically, he was just making the job of Laju even more difficult. Him

a little regret coming to the forest with Laju.

But, he immediately denied it again.

His instincts and feelings to accompany the current pace were similar as

the feeling when he wanted to show the future for her to save her.

This feeling is not without reason, right? Just chill. Maybe, there's an answer

which will come as the day passes in this forest.

“Capture!” A voice coming from above.

Before Delphia could regain her full consciousness, her attention was already

diverted by the cry of Laju from the top of the tree. He was picking fruit and

directly threw it at Delphia. Because there is no other call for

what should he do with the fruit, he just keep it in the bag

supplies made from leaf dressing.

“Hup!” After a while, the speed jumped down. “Not going

eaties? It feels weird, but it's probably better than the fish. But

because it is not protein, do not expect to be full anyway,” Laju added

He immediately took the stock bag, turned around, and returned

I look around looking for directions.

Delphia looked at the fruit that was being held on top of her hand.

This fruit resembles papaya, but with a striking pink color.

Other than the color, there was nothing strange about the shape of the fruit. Except, when

he started biting her, there was a tickling taste like he had just been stung by

electric current from this fruit flesh.

Although it is not painful, it is indeed a unique taste.

Delphia continued to follow Laju while eating the fruit.

“Oh no! There there! Change way! Don't go through here!” Showing Rate

while running.

With not much protest, Delphia followed Laj running back in direction.

After glancing at what makes Laju not so go to the place

first, it turns out the presence of winged monkeys again who now even want to

attacking Rate.

“Hihi,” Delphia chuckle.

His condition did not improve things in the slightest. They're still inside

the situation that is sandwiched between the exact fuck of the animals or monsters

it always causes damage to the forest.

I don't know the hollow ground, the trees that are scratched, to the trees that

fall by a not small amount.

But, Delphia who was in this condition, with Laju's hand

taking him here and there protecting him, tickling his heart. Is his dream

that little was achieved or because Delphia started to enjoy these moments,

Delphia herself did not know the answer.

More or less, such are the days that the pace and

Delphia.

Circling the mystical forest with no clear purpose and direction, which was filled

by the danger of wild animals or monsters, with the aim of trying

searching for debris inhabited by humans.

Actually, the instructions on this mission are very easy.

Just look for the human presence in this forest, then the ruins

less can be found. Because, in addition to being a forest visitor, the,

the existence of other humans is certainly a minion who is being hunted

by Parker.

But, looking for humans in the midst of the strangeness of this forest is also not easy.

In fact, after the third day, the fourth day, or the seventh day, the pace remained

no remains of human existence. Be it from the footprints, the rest

food, sound, or whatever it is.

Yang Laju found again a noisy animal at night

making him unable to sleep soundly, aggressive monsters for no reason

attacking here and there, food and drinks were not at all

delights, and the presence of vegetation itself is unreasonable.

It starts with a crystal that freezes on a flower that makes

the surroundings froze, a dark area that could not

getting the sunlight inhabited by ghosts and strange sounds, a statue

which crumbled but still sounded like a living creature, a tree that shone from

in the trunk, also a cave that glows but not found the source

its light.

Do not forget also the strange phenomenon of flower petals or trees

drifting, an area filled with many mushrooms, also an area filled with

by the thick smoke and fog, or also a monster that fused with

plants that guard a lake.

The more Laju and Delphia entered the forest, the more awkwardness and strangeness

very mystical, which can only be explained that they have moved to

other worlds, fictional and fantasy worlds. Although in fact, literally the pace

it is not in the human world anymore, considering the number of inhabitants

the city of Kannaris is inhabited by many strange monsters.

Only after they had circled the forest deeper, on the 12th day, did they

finding traces of a very suspicious civilization. Especially, because of the speed

he finally heard a language he missed so much.

“Your time has already begun, right? Quickly replace!” someone is calling in

distance. “I also want to sleep!”

The pace and Delphia were hiding behind the bushes.

Eventually, they discover a life other than animals, monsters

strange that is not because of its shape, also plants that do not make sense. In front

they, already seen the gathering of men, signifying their return ticket

it's close.

They chuckled small, followed by a big happy smile.

“Cubit me, Del!” say Rate.

The pace still couldn't believe it. Because of the time of sleep that is not

ever stable, lately he often hallucinates many things.

But, after such proof, they could be sure that they were finally

at their destination, the first reason they entered into this forest. Viz

ruins, or perhaps more precisely a village and a village

abandoned, which is inhabited by humans who do look suspicious,

looks evil, looks like an enemy.
