When the three of them knocked on Simon's door, no sound greeted them. Only the sound of rain and thunderstorms struck. Even though they knocked several times to ring the bell, however, none of them opened the door. A few minutes later, they were still there. Because it had been almost an hour there was no answer, they finally decided to just leave the place. After they left and returned to Antoni's residence, Gabriel felt something strange ever since he set foot in Simon's residence even though it was only outside. He seemed to feel the absence of life in that place. The mixed feelings gnawing at him frustrated Gabriel and then finished a can of beer that was on the desk. Seeing his strange behavior, Ilya then approached him and tried to talk to him.
"What happened to you?" ask Ilya
"Not. It is nothing."
"Again you don't want to tell the truth. I can tell you."
"I already guessed. You knew that from the start, didn't you? Why not talk? Do you know? This frustrates me.”
"Would you just live like that?"
"What?"
"I don't want to argue. It's just, if you say all the weirdness you're experiencing it will help a little to solve all these question marks. But you have to endure it alone. You stupid."
After a small argument with Gabriel, Ilya then approached Leo who was in the study and the two of them were silent. The silence that enveloped them then subsided as Ilya said what he had just seen from Gabriel.
"Were you aware of his condition all this time?" said Ilya to Leo
"You mean Gabriel?"
"Yes. That person."
“Ah, not really but, I guess that kid is a little different. For example having something that normal people don't have."
"Is that true?"
"Yes. Previously, Gabriel said that he often had strange dreams. And in his dream it seemed as if he could see the future. You think that makes sense? At first I thought I didn't believe it. However, since the events in Antherius everything seems to make sense.”
“Huh… interesting too.”
"What are you saying?"
“That kid is quite impressive. If only they were more open, I don't think it would be a bit of a hassle."
“I understand the situation. Many strange things happen beyond reason. And that I've seen with my own eyes."
"Then you will accept that?"
"Eh?"
“If I tell the truth, this world might just be in his hands even more.”
"Abyss?"
"Right. some tried to turn a blind eye and bury it as an accident. But, some people dig deeper and try to find the truth. Which side do you want to be on?”
"It is clear. I will search to the root.”
"Is there a special reason you did it?"
Leo didn't answer Ilya's question and just remained silent while looking at the floor. There was silence again and then Gabriel walked over to the two of them and sat down on a chair. Not long after, Gabriel tried to say something to the two of them. The reality that was in front of him all this time. His pale face was a sign of the stress Gabriel had been experiencing for a while. He became irritable and of course very depressed. Besides that, Gabriel was holding back something inside him that could potentially bring his life down. Gabriel looked at him calmly and tried to take a deep breath.
"I have something to say, maybe you won't believe it but this is what I see," Gabriel said
"Just say it, we'll listen," Leo said
"Actually, Simon is dead."
"What?"
"Since the beginning of his existence gave me goosebumps at that time, indeed saved me and brought him to his house you also knew that wasn't it Leo? But its existence shows no signs of life. In other words, the place had indeed been empty for a long time. All you see with me is an illusion created to save my life. This is driving me crazy. It's all real."
Leo just froze and his expression showed surprise. Not a single word was spoken. That day, it was clear that Simon had called him and said that Gabriel was being treated at his home. It feels like I can't believe it. Leo was still silent with a confused look. Ilya who saw this could only be silent as well. Because all this time he had known about it and tried to stay calm in order to show the reality which had been just an illusion. Ilya's gaze then turned to Gabriel who then he also looked at Ilya with a normal look.
"Why aren't you guys surprised at all?" Leo said
"I think I'm the same as you," said Gabriel
“Sorry for not telling you the truth and immediately asking you to go there. I just wanted to show you something.”
"I already know. Since the first time set foot there. Is this a coincidence?” ask Gabriel
"What do you think?" ask Ilya
“Now I don't understand why it became like this, what is this mission really for? just looking for my memory? There's nothing I have to do that's what I saw in the nightmare. the problem is where are they? Unlucky."
"We'll find him no matter what. Oh yes, about the book written by Alice, the Necronomicon," said Leo
“How did you know that Alice wrote the Necronomicon?” Ilya asked curiously
“I did say the conclusion. But, I don't think the book was written by that woman. do you think that book really exists?”
"Who knows. It's also the first time I've heard of it."
"Oh yeah, are you a psychic?"
"Why ask like that?"
“Gabriel might not have noticed it, but I did. The entire room and even the corridors of your castle all have a certain aura. And there's also a lot of paranormal-related stuff. Isn't that already inferred?"
"Wow you look observant too. Your guess is not wrong. But, I don't want to do it again."
"What? why?"
“Do you really want to meet the dead? Should I call him? You won't regret it?"
"You'd better not do it. You're curious about Alice, aren't you? There is a painting in an art gallery there that has been confirmed to be authentic and there seems to be something behind it. You also came to see it then, right?” Gabriel said
“Right, I came there to see that.”
"Now it's been decided. Looking for who the woman was and then her relationship with the Abyss. Our plans have changed," Gabriel said
They both agreed and this time it was Gabriel who tried to find information. Moments later, the dark web that the two of them had been monitoring for so long began to spread invitations to attend the theater show that would be held next week. The three of them then looked at what he had written on it and it was true that they had deliberately invited as many people as possible. Gabriel used this opportunity to find out what was going on. The dark web networks who were invited guests at the event looked enthusiastic. Besides that, Ilya began to devise a plan and it was as he expected that all of this was aimed at the same goal of destruction. It doesn't stop there, they are also increasing their knowledge and not just about the lost history that they want to uncover because it has many mysteries. The sun was starting to rise, it was already 12 noon. In the middle of the day, the rain was still pouring down, the sound of rainwater made the atmosphere even more tense.
In a place that is a gambling place, this time Mckena is there while watching someone who is his target. This time the target is playing a game and after that the person then goes to a place. Quite an unfamiliar place was in the basement. The location that looked like a secret base made Mckena even more suspicious of him. After Mckena followed him, the person then entered a room and then there met several people. They seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive. Not long after, a man dressed in all black and wearing a pendant bearing a hexagon. Mckena who was surprised then looked at the person.
"That emblem, there's no mistaking it," muttered Mckena-
The surveillance continued until the man entered a room that only them could access. Mckena who then moves and finds out what will happen, unfortunately he must be known by their subordinates.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" said the big man to Mckena
“Hah, what a bother.”
The two of them then fought. Their battle was quite fierce and the big man had above average martial arts skills that overwhelmed Mckena. Not long after, Mckena immediately used his gun and aimed at the new person he quickly fired an attack and could not be dodged. The man was covered in blood and nearly fell. Although his strength was quite troublesome this time Mckena struck him right in the heart so that the person fell down immediately. Blood spilled on the floor and then Mckena just walked away from there. The tall man immediately wanted to call for help but his life was already gone when he took his cellphone. This time Mckena's fate was quite lucky. His infiltration proceeded smoothly and then entered a building.
Near the beach on the outskirts of the opposite city, a middle-aged man was enjoying the beauty of the ocean in the afternoon when the weather in the city happened to be sunny. The orange sky makes for a beautiful sight. The middle-aged man sat on a chair in the dining area there. While enjoying his time a man who was none other than Thomas approached him.
"Excuse me sir," said Thomas
"Oh, you've been around a long time huh. I heard you went back there is that true?”
"Yes. That's right."
"How could that be? Didn't you promise to be an archaeologist instead? You are this."
"In a situation like this it's not enough just to do that."
"Then what's your plan?"
