Chapter 21 Impossible
At this time, the man was seen talking to the officers who were there. However, the conversation didn't last long. A moment later, the media that came along with a crowd of reporters filled the surrounding area causing a bit of a commotion. The officers on duty there had to deal with the crowd of reporters and try to keep them from approaching the scene. Some of them tried to barge in and that made things even more noisy. Meanwhile, the man was just silent while watching them from the direction of the scene. The man was also seen looking around and apparently started to find something that made him instantly feel dumbfounded.
“Wait, this…” he said while holding something.
"Did you find anything, sir?" asked one of the members of the security guard curiously.
“Ah, I only found fragments of this thing.”
"What's that?"
"Who knows. I think it has something to do with the creature.”
"You're going to take it?"
"Yes. I have to check it in the lab. After I get the data, I will send it as soon as possible.”
"Okay. Good luck. Oh yeah, by the way what about the people in the opera house at the time?”
"That will be explained later."
"Eh? Why?"
"Now there's something to check first."
"Ah, well I understand."
"And also you, looks like you have to start dealing with them," said the man, pointing at the reporters.
"Good grief."
The man then left from there and started driving his car to somewhere. On his way there, apparently the man saw a lot of chaos that resulted from the attack. In addition, people also look scared and they don't look like they are doing their usual activities. A completely different sight than before. Arriving at a building, the man then got out of his car and quickly went to a room that was none other than the laboratory where he worked. This man named Jimmie is a laboratory expert and is also a former member of security. Arriving there, Jimmie immediately put down his findings and began researching them. A dark purple crystal-shaped object that looks slimy. The examination took a long time.
"You found it at the scene?" said a man who was his assistant in the laboratory.
"Yeah, amazing isn't it?"
“Ah, about that… I can't say much more.”
“Now what about the other checks? Have you found anything so far?”
"Actually, there is. But I'm still not sure."
"Why can't you be sure?"
"There are some molecules that look unusual. I don't think this is natural. What do you think, "said his assistant while showing the results of the examination.
"I see. You'd better keep checking again."
"Okay. But, what made you take this step?”
"Why do you ask like that?"
"Eh?"
“I just want to stop this madness. There is nothing that can be done but to find the cause and who did all this. It is a very simple thing.”
"Ah, well, I understand. It's just, maybe this will trouble you a bit."
"Put that matter aside. after all, there is nothing I care about except the annihilation of the creature."
"I will support you."
"Good."
The laboratory is centered in a building adjacent to the city's university of science building. Some of the workers there seemed busy researching the objects to make them look troubled.
"Wow, that's a lot."
"Don't complain just do it."
"Yes."
Meanwhile, this time right at the boys' base. Charlie who still doesn't want to get involved instantly makes them start to get annoyed and finally try to leave it like that. Jane who then goes out to find clues is followed by Ray. The two of them walked around the area they were in while looking around. There, they also met an old man who was seen carrying a suitcase. Without further ado, they started talking to the old man while helping him carry the suitcase and deliver it to the grandfather's house.
"Kids, thank you very much. You guys shouldn't be bothering like this," said the grandfather to the two of them right in front of the grandfather's door in a friendly manner.
"Ah, we think this is the right thing to do," said Jane
"Yeah, that's right," Ray added.
“Oh yeah, you guys are no good hanging around outside. It's best to stay indoors."
"We want to play and enjoy the atmosphere of the city."
"Aren't you afraid? This terrifying phenomenon frightened everyone. I can't guarantee your safety. Better go home and stay at home."
"Thanks for reminding us grandpa, but I still want to play outside and there's also something I want to know."
"You children."
The old man then entered his house and dragged his suitcase. Meanwhile, the two of them were still outside and were seen walking towards somewhere. Jane, who continued to look around warily, made Ray feel surprised. Immediately they both arrived at a shop that seemed to be closed. The two of them then approached the shop and tried to find the whereabouts of someone who might be there. However, apparently they didn't find anyone and slowly started to head elsewhere.
“Where are the people? Did they really leave this area?” said Jane who was still surprised by what was happening.
"I don't know I don't know."
"Wait, what's that?" Jane said, pointing across to the other side and there was something squirming.
"Hey, wait."
As soon as she saw something on the other side, Jane ran towards it and then saw something that looked like dark purple jelly. Curious, Jane approached her and was about to take it. But, Ray screamed and told her not to take the thing. Confused by Ray's shout, without thinking, Jane picked it up and soon something appeared that knocked her to the ground. Ray, who had realized something was wrong with the object and tried not to take it, was now silent before finally running to save Jane who was lying on the ground in pain.
"God, what is that," said Jane, turning her head towards it.
"Run."
"What?"
“Hurry up and run!”
Quickly, Ray pulled Jane and they both ran from the location in a hurry. Apparently behind them appeared the strange creature and was currently destroying the surroundings while starting to chase the two of them. The slimy creature was so large that it covered the sun's rays. Jane, who felt sorry that she had touched the thing now, could only remain silent while trying to escape. The horror of the creature was the slime that was like an acidic liquid it melted anything.
"Damn, that thing is chasing us," said Jane, exhausted.
"It's all because of you."
