Chapter 20

The situation in this city is getting more and more strange every day. Even though sometimes there are many people who carry out many of their activities as if nothing bad has ever happened in their lives, at the same time there are also many people who even now still feel alert. The situation always feels the same every time and there is almost nothing different about this environment. Kevin started to look around and it was still morning. He had just left and was heading somewhere. When he saw the people here, it was as if he really felt life. One thing is very important and that is what always appears in his head. After looking at the website page for some time, this time he was even more convinced that the existence of underground people was real. Even though there were lots of questions in his head, ever since he met the detective, Kevin began to feel a little suspicious about the events that had happened to everyone recently. Apparently the detective also felt the same way and so when the two of them talked about this, there were indeed many strange things that might be difficult to solve. Although initially Kevin was very surprised when this detective called him that day and then met him somewhere. This time, the two of them officially became colleagues who would exchange information just because they really wanted to solve this case. A few hours ago, there was news about a victim who had just been found and it felt like the person had deliberately ended his life, but there were several clues that led to another assumption. At that time, many people already suspected that this tragedy could not just end like that and they also expected it would end like this. Kevin was now right in front of a coffee shop and slowly entered this place. A barista then greeted him in a friendly manner.
“Welcome Kevin. It's been a long time since you've been seen. How have you been lately?”
"Yes. Still fine. How about you?"
"Yes. As you can see, I'm doing very well.”
"Well, that's good then."
“By the way, I've also heard the news several times and many people are also talking about it.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“It's about your partner.”
“Ah, that's what it seems. What are they talking about?"
"Actually, they just assumed that maybe it wasn't a coincidence and something like that. I don't remember for sure that they were talking about something like that."
"Yes. I also think like them."
"Really?"
"Yes. This is serious."
Kevin still continues to talk to this person. They have known each other for a long time. They both went to the same middle school and now they look as close as ever. At that time, Kevin again added many reasons why he felt that this whole thing was like a disaster. Not long after that, the two of them talked more and more about this and after that Kevin began to remember that now he had something to do. He quickly opened his laptop and then worked on something. The barista also gave Kevin the drink that Kevin had ordered earlier and this time it was exactly what was in his head.
“You look very busy.”
“This is how it usually is.”
Meanwhile, now it's somewhere else. Someone was seen in the room. The person seemed to be thinking about something. Not long after, a foreigner entered the room too and then looked around, which was none other than a special document storage room. The person then found something he wanted and not long afterward he realized that there was someone in the room with him and that person was sitting in his chair. Slowly, this person then approached the person.
“Do you need anything?” asked the person who was sitting.
"Ah, actually I came here just looking for that document."
"Have you found it?"
"Yes. I've found it. I think I must go now, sir.”
"Are you still looking for the truth up to this moment?"
"Correct. because that's part of my job. I can't just ignore it.”
"You're still the same."
"What?"
“Let me tell you one important thing. Don't get too involved. It is too dangerous.”
“Thank you for warning me. But there's no reason to back down. Otherwise, everything will just suffer. I go first."
“You're probably right.”
'Stupid brat. You'll definitely have trouble if you keep diving,' the man thought as he sipped a glass of beer.
It doesn't feel like Kevin has been here for almost three hours. Apart from that, today's weather is apparently quite cloudy. He, who was still completing several tasks, was still monitoring his laptop. It rained and now he was trapped in this place. Not only that, Kevin also felt that he now had a bit of a strange premonition. The barista then turned his face towards Kevin and saw that he was still there. There are many people who are also caught in the rain like him and now Kevin is continuing his activities quite well.
'I guess there's no other choice,' Kevin muttered to himself.
While everyone is trying to live, there are some people who think that all this is just a game. They continued laughing while drinking a glass of alcohol and then making terrible jokes. A man wearing white clothes then stopped the people and at that moment they immediately fell silent while looking at his face. They seemed to be facing danger and at this time no one dared to joke like that. The man dressed in white then looked at one of them and not long after that the person seemed suddenly afraid.
"You better not play with all this," said a man dressed in white to them.
“Ah, actually we were just listening to a joke and it had nothing to do with the current situation.”
"I don't think my hearing is wrong."
"Yes?"
“You said it very clearly yourself earlier. And besides, are you guys tired of living?”
“Ah, actually that's impossible.”
"Yes. "If you still want to live, at least please find me someone who can solve all the current problems," said the man with a smile.
"What? Why are you suddenly looking for someone?"
“It's for everyone's sake.”
“But, what kind of person are you looking for? Wouldn't it be very strange if it wasn't specific?”
“Hmm, a useful one of course.”
