[S1] Eight of Hearts

-Keiji's POV-

Koshiro Keiji
28 Years Old
General Surgeon

The following side-story comes from Keiji's first Game

Difficulty: 8 of ♡
Game: Heroes

Rules:
- Save the Little girl's Soul

"What do we need to do?" Rira asked while strolling around the room.

"We have no choice but to follow the rules." Kuraido said.

"I forgot the rules..." Moori asked.

"To save the little girl, I reckon?"

"This must be a prank." I said as my body walked towards the dead corpse. As I came nearer, my eyes gazed towards the laser grid.

"This must be a hostage situation." Kuraido said.

"What kind of technology is this... Plus, how did all the people at the hospital suddenly disappear?"

I grabbed a piece of metal beside the door and pierced it through the seemingly dead body.

The metal rod penetrated the body, causing it to bleed; the corpse did not move an inch... "Shit, I really think he's dead."

My body moved and turned back.

"So we're really trapped in this room?" Rira asked.

My eyes widened as I saw a clock turned on.

"A timer." I said.

My face turned dull, realizing the true intention of this situation.

"Time limit: 2 Hours." The announcer spoke.

"Holy shit, this is like some torture method from the deep web." Moori said.

Game, Commence
Time Remaining: 120 Minutes

"But that doesn't explain the disappearance of the crowd and the patients inside the hospital." Kuraido replied.

"Okay, all we need to do is to calm down... we need to stick together, do not fall for the traps the hostage taker wants us to." Kuraido said.

"But I don't understand, I haven't done anything... I don't even know what the deep web is!" Rira panicked.

Kuraido slowly moved from the background, roaming and finding more stuffs about the situation.

"The girl has some sort of poison injected, meaning we just need to remove its poison immediately..." Kuraido added.

"We need tools and medication, but how do we..."

"Here..." Moori said, while opening a curtain that leads into a counter full of supplies, medication and tools.

"What's with that door?" Rira asked.

I opened the door that Rira asked.

"Our lives... really are in danger..." I said.

There stood a giant explosive with Tens and thousands of wires.

Both Rira and Moori went to look inside the door, while I backed away with fear still imprinted in my face.

"This isn't a game." Moori said.

I followed the wires through and saw that it was connected to the little girl's heart monitor.

"It's common sense that if the little girl dies, all of us will die." I said.
