Chapter 8

Most people feel something really terrible. They are like being in a maze and can't get out. The voice of complaining was getting louder and louder and made several other people fall there too. Kevin, who kept listening to some of his friend's words through phone calls, at that moment he began to feel unsteady and as if something was bothering him. Arriving right in front of a bar, that's when he entered and then saw that person with one of the other people. They look drunk. Kevin had just arrived and at that time immediately sat right together with the two of them while discussing several other important matters. So far, they also feel the same anxiety as other people who are starting to be indoctrinated by the news that there is a high probability that there will be another victim. Kevin, who already knew the news, could only shake his head and not bother. He didn't care at all if the victim was himself. After holding back his irritation several times, after he started to forget about his partner and only focused on everything that was happening at the moment, Kevin had started to change. There were no more strange things that always popped into his head all of a sudden and now there was only his curiosity about something bigger. They both continued to drink the alcohol they ordered, so did Kevin. When he starts to feel stressed or something like that, this is what he should do to get rid of all the distractions. One of his friends said some things that turned out to be beyond reason. That person kept talking as if there was something very secret. They would never reveal their identity and kept moving in the shadows. At first Kevin only thought that it was a joke and because his friend was a person who always watched too many action movies. At that time, another friend agreed with Kevin's words, who also felt that it was too fictional. However, it wasn't long after that that someone was drunk and that person started making noise here. Some of them immediately looked at that person and their eyes fell on the person making the noise. Kevin who also saw that could only sigh and then one of the people immediately took the person who made the noise from there . After that the atmosphere returned to peace and there was no noise anymore. Most people also think that maybe the person was drunk and then causing a commotion was not on purpose. Kevin then took a sip of his drink and suddenly he remembered one thing.
"I guess there's something I have to do."
"Hah? what are you talking about ?
"What are you going to do?"
"I can't stay silent like this. it's useless , there's nothing I can get. If it moves, there's a good chance you'll find something."
"You're trying to add to the problem, it seems."
"This is not a problem."
"Are you sure that doesn't add to the problem? So what?"
"It looks like Kevin will do an attraction like in the Joker movie."
“Hey, come on you guys stop saying nonsense like that. damn , I think you two are already drunk.”
“Oh yes, there is important information. It was said that there would be an organizational group recruitment.”
"What organization?"
"In that case, there is still no definite answer . "
Kevin came home late at night. Arriving at his apartment, that's when he started thinking about what his friend had said. It makes sense that a few people might be there and they're doing a lot of things. Of all the predictions that popped into his head, there was only one thing that Kevin thought could happen. Some of these things are definitely not going to be easy and over a period of time they are sure to cause tremendous chaos. He who is full of ideology, feels that this is quite interesting. Not long after that, Kevin returned to browse some information on the website page that had been given by one of his college friends. Even though his head felt dizzy, he tried to stay conscious and afterwards took hangover medicine. At the same time , he also felt a sensation that was quite terrible. Luckily he was still conscious and not like the other two friends. When everything feels annoying, there's only one way to get rid of it besides playing games. He also keeps thinking about the name of the organization which has yet to be revealed. He kept trying to find out and in fact nothing could be found by him. Besides that, he also didn't know what to do anymore when he saw this world that was getting chaotic. Kevin slowly looked at one of the incoming messages from his friend which contained several warnings to him. That person seemed to have guessed what he would do after that and he couldn't take it anymore. The annoyance and curiosity that had been inside of him for so long could not be removed. Besides that, he also already knew that this was quite risky and might take his own life. It didn't just end there, Kevin could already guess that if he failed he would have to accept all the consequences and couldn't run. Because of that, he was determined.
"Gosh, I guess I don't need to explain anymore," muttered Kevin while scratching his head.
The next day. Some of the tasks that had been done were finally successfully given to the person who sent Kevin. Not long after that, one of the people who was none other than his co-worker at this place, that person was seen watching Kevin from earlier. Kevin, who was very sensitive, already knew that someone was watching him and quickly Kevin did his part. After nearly two hours, it turned out to be done quickly. Of course he was happy and then someone Kevin usually talked to approached him and told him to come out with him for a bit.
"What is it?" he asked .
"You can't see that person is watching you. It seems you won't be able to live in peace.”
"I already know. Just leave it. There's no point in keeping an eye on me anyway. My internship will be over soon.”
“Ah, damn it. Even though it still feels like yesterday.”
“But, there are some things I want to ask senior.”
"What's that?"
“Have I grown so far?”
"Hah? You're so weird. Without even asking, you should already be aware of it. Now you are much more than what was expected.
"Is it true?"
"Yes. that's why that person keeps watching you. I feel a bit threatened by your potential.”
"Ah, I see."
"That's enough. Do not worry about it."
After that, Kevin returned to his room and for a moment he felt a strange situation. It feels like something is empty and I don't know why it's suddenly like this. He then went home and not long after that there were classes on campus. He quickly left and apparently on his way to campus, nothing had changed. Everything feels weird and I don't know why it's like this. His eyes saw people who seemed like they were forced to live under this kind of chaos and they also seemed to want to get out of this damn circle. After that, Kevin again witnessed someone who looked very tired. He kept seeing sights like this and now it couldn't be avoided apparently. Arriving at campus, Kevin rushed to the room that will be used for class this afternoon. At that moment he immediately entered the room and then saw a very boring sight. Some of his friends waved at him and they shouted his name. Kevin walked slowly and at that moment he sat close to them. Today was quite troublesome for him and he didn't have to wait long it turned out that class had just started. However, those who were sitting behind Kevin started talking to him instead. Kevin of course could not not respond to his friend's words.
"Hey, have you heard the news?" asked his friend.
"Which news?"
“This is not about slaughtering your co-workers.”
"What? Is there any other news besides that?
"Good grief. How to explain huh? Hmm, simply put, the news was not exposed to reporters and even kept secret. Because there are several people who have smelled the news, that's why now it has begun to spread slowly among students."
"What news is that ? "
"This is so terrible."
"What's so terrible?"
“One of the women died with her body cut open. That's what I heard."
"What? impossible .”
“Sounds impossible. But that's the truth. Someone already took the picture and passed it on. Apparently it was the people at the hospital who provided the documentation.”
"Wait, what the hell is this?"
When all that started to be felt, Kevin immediately fell silent and as if he could no longer speak. There are some things that are not unexpected as well. This time he really felt very strange because it was unusual for him not to know the latest news. Not long after class ended, Kevin started thinking about that and now his curiosity is back. One of his friends returned to tell what he knew even though all of it was still full of question marks. He became more and more convinced that there was indeed something wrong here. The idealism that was usually held by his friend, seemed to disappear and the gossip just swallowed it.
