Chapter 22 Bid

In the escape plan of the two of them, things got out of hand. Currently Jane and Ray are still in the area while continuing to escape from the creature's pursuit. A moment later, they hid behind an empty building not far away. The sound of their breathing sounded very loud a sign of extreme fatigue. Jane, who felt guilty for her actions, made her feel even more awkward. Meanwhile, Ray kept his eyes on the creature whether it was chasing them or not. This unexpected incident caused them to be trapped almost all day in this place. Jane then sat down and waited for things to get better.
"I don't know what to say," said Jane
"This is bad."
"Did we get caught?"
"Not. Not that."
"So what? speak clearly."
"I think the creature is heading north."
"What? Seriously."
"This is real. What should we do?"
"Do not ask. I also do not know."
“At this rate, the people in the northern district will disappear.”
"It's bad."
"We have to tell them. Get up quickly."
"Wait a moment."
The two of them ran towards the northern district via different routes. Their long journey made them both feel helpless. Arriving at the northern district, it was already too late. People looked very panicked and they kept asking for help. At the same time, the security forces came and tried to stop the creature. Mucus was scattered everywhere. Jane and Ray looked confused until they finally met a man named Jimmie.
"You'd better back off kids," Jimmie said to them both.
"Sorry. Uncle. Actually we came here to tell everyone that the creature is moving here.”
"Is that so? Looks like you're late."
"That's right," said Jane
"That's enough. You'd better take cover."
"But, uncle. There is something I want to ask."
"What's that? just say little girl."
“How did that creature appear in the city? Did someone make it? Not. It doesn't look like it's an experimental result."
"Ah, that matter is quite complicated."
Jimmie left them alone and now joins the security team and helps them. Jane, who was still curious about what was really making her head, couldn't stop thinking. The people who were taking cover looked full of fear. Jane who looked at them immediately approached them who were there. Slowly began to say something to them.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Yes. We're all right."
“Have you ever heard of that creature before?”
"Eh? I only know from the news.”
"That's how it looks."
“In that case, kids like you two better stay in a safe place.”
"I know, but something's bothering me."
"You mean you want to know all this?"
"Right. Do you know anything?”
“About that…”
"Just say it. It's fine it won't be fatal.”
“When I was working, some people were talking about music. Yes, they still can't forget the organization's case. there is a possibility that this is also part of their plan.”
"It makes a little sense. It's just that that group doesn't exist anymore."
"But, someone who survived the opera house said the creature appeared as soon as the boy played a song."
"Child?"
"I mean the young musician Jason."
"What? Can you explain more about that?”
A woman along with several other people who were taking cover immediately told everything she knew, especially about the events at the opera house. Jane, who had heard the story from that person, now immediately ran and tried to find the whereabouts of Jason, who had not met her until now. Ray who was also chasing Jane then said something.
"Hey wait! Why did you just leave?”
"Now I know."
"What? What are you talking about?”
“This has something to do with the group. I thought they were done."
"Don't tell me it's antimusic?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure? Their leader has killed himself there's no way they're still around.”
"What if the ideology isn't dead yet?"
"I don't understand."
"There is no more time. We have to meet Jason."
"What for?"
"The boy was at the opera house performing the same day it happened."
"What?"
This time in a room. Jason who was still stuck there was thinking how to get out of that place. Once the surveillance cameras are off that's the chance to escape. However, it was never done because there was no loophole to do so. Until finally he was taken to another room and that's when he tried to trick the person by pretending to go to the toilet. Once inside the toilet, Jason was still thinking about getting out of here. Inadvertently, he heard someone talking behind the toilet door which made him very surprised. The two of them continued to talk as if they didn't care who would hear their conversation.
“Scarlet Heart? What's that?" mumbled Jason
The voices of the two men were no longer audible and when they came out of the toilet, apparently right in front of Jason was a man in sterile clothes looking at him and then leading him into a room. Arriving in the room that looks very different from the other rooms and this looks like an office room similar to the movies. Jason couldn't stop staring at him.
"Welcome Jason," someone said to him.
"Yes."
“What about the inn? What's amazing?”
“Uncle, what does all this mean?”
"Ah, you're smart, too."
“Why did uncle bring me to a place like this? Am I infected?"
"Not. You're wrong boy."
"So what?"
"There's something interesting."
"What attracted you?"
"How can I explain it? It's too dangerous for a child to know."
"Please stop joking."
"Wow, well, you're really curious. So fabulous."
"Come on."
"You remember the music?"
"I remember," Jason gasped when he heard the name.
"Well, now you understand the situation, don't you?"
"What do you want?"
"Something worthwhile."
"What?"
A man who is now in front of Jason is talking more and more about something that even sounds beyond reason. Jason who was listening to his conversation felt a little annoyed that the person had caught him earlier. The man continued to speak and soon after offered something that took Jason by surprise. The man whispered something that sounded like a gift from Santa Claus and made a child really happy about it. However, that was not the case for Jason. He loudly rejected the man's offer and felt even more annoyed.
"No kidding! It is impossible."
"So you're not interested in the prize then."
'What the hell is this guy,' Jason muttered under his breath.
