Chapter 123

~Sigma's Pov:~
I am Sigma.. The casino's man. I am well aware that my origin is relatively exceptional.

But now I have a feeling that.. Are me and L/n the most normal human beings in this room?!

~Y/n's Pov:~
"If I inject this, then I can die in 30 minutes, right?" Dazai asked Nikolai.

"Yes! Blood will squirt from your body and you will die painfully!"

"What a piece of art." Fyodor looked at the syringe.

I glanced at Sigma.

I think him and I are the only somewhat sane people in this room..

"The rules are simple!" Nikolai said, "Whoever gets to escape from Meursault prison wins!"

Dazai looked at the case Nikolai was holding.

"I want you two to inject this lethal poison first. Whoever escapes can get the antidote." He opened the case to reveal the antidote, "The only antidote in this world. Which means.."

"In 30 minutes, either me and Dazai will die." Fyodor was smiling.

"Yup! I am terribly sorry to Dazai because originally, I only wanted to kill Dos. But he wouldn't take the poison if I didn't do so."

"Why are you apologizing?" Dazai asked, "It is the best chance. A gift from above." He was smiling.

"You're right. Yet losing a chess opponent in 30 minutes is still quite sad."

"Oh? You already feel like winning?" Dazai rolled up his sleeve.

"What else could it be?" Fyodor rolled up his.

They injected the poison while giggling like idiots.

"...Well, Sigma." I mumbled, "I think the Agency is fucked."

"The Apostate Gogol Game now begins!" Gogol was smiling.

~Lucy's Pov:~{3rd Person}
Lucy was gently scratching Finch's head as he tried to connect with L/n.

"I believe in you, Finch." She mumbled.

~Y/n's Pov:~
"So! It's a bit late, but allow me to explain the rules! The area in which you guys were detained just now is the lowest floor. An ability space that is created for keeping dangerous ability users. So called, 'The Ability Race Room'." Nikolai explained, "In addiction, the world's top authorities are waiting for you at the exit on the ground floor. First, the corridors in each floor have tens of 'cells' which divide the area. Passwords are required in order to pass through them. And they change every 6 hours. If a wrong password is input once, the gate will never open again. Both the gate and the wall are shockingly thick at 120 centimeters! As well as custom made with ability compatible metal which is normally impossible to break. Even if you manage to break through the gates, a more troublesome 'elevator system' is waiting for you. This elevator system is the only way to reach floors. Palm prints, voice prints, and biometric verification are all required. These proofs will be sent to the central control panel. Security will verify the passenger through CCTV. Then the elevator will finally operate. That's why it is impossible to cheat. Are you stuffed?~ There's more! Heavily armored security patrols every floor and will shoot without warning! The weapons they use are verified biometrically. An alarm will be triggered if you forcefully get them. Woah! What a magnificent game I planned! It's impossible to escape whether you die hundreds or thousands of times!"

Geez.. Is there a chance of there not being a winner at all? Then what would he do?

"Oh! I almost forgot the most important piece of information! Any suspects detected will be immediately locked by the gate. And ten seconds later water fill flood in. It's not regular water, but 'isotope formulated' heavy water. It's heavier than regular water, so you can't swim in it. In addition, it is harmful to the human body and you will die if you drink too much of it."

Fyodor and Dazai gasped.

"That means if you get caught by security, you'll be locked, flooded by water that can even drown fish, and die in suffocation and regrets. Of course! You guys will be killed by poison anyway in 30 minutes! How's that?! Wanna cry?"

Dazai and Fyodor were looking down seriously, they then looked up with smiles on their faces. They looked at each other while giggling.

Oh my God.. This is so fucking stupid.

"So! Here comes the good news finally!" Nikolai was juggling balls, "In honor of you heading down deadly path, Gogol would like to give you a 'whimsical present'!" He snapped his finger and looked at Sigma, "Assistant! The 'You-Know-That' thing, please!"

"Who's your assistant?!"

A few seconds later, Sigma was obediently pushing a small table with objects on it.

"You're allowed to bring one item from here with you!" Nikolai told them, "In other words, it's a weapon that can determine victory! First, a walkie talkie that is used by the patrolling guards. The signal is transferred through FHSS, which is impossible to eavesdrop on. Therefore, it's useful to hear the communication between security guards. A key card of the highest ranking security guard. This key card is necessary to open of the on-sea hellport, the only exit. I suppose you're familiar with these explosive coins. These are enhanced with gunpowder input. The ones leftover from when we got into here. A satellite phone, if you're able to get to the first floor where telecommunication is finally available, you can ask for assistance from all around the world. In other words, this is the most powerful weapon." He explained, "Here's the question, which one are you gonna choose?"

"I see..." Dazai smiled, "The game,"

"Has already begun here." Fyodor finished his sentence."

"But who's choosing first?"

"Of course, it's Dos, because he's my dear friend!"

But you wanna kill him though..

"Then, this one." Fyodor pointed at the key card.

"Alright then." Nikolai smiled, "But what about Dazai?"

"This one sounds good." Dazai pointed.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Huh?

He was pointing at me and Sigma?

"Ha! You're the best!" Nikolai laughed.

My eyes widened.

"Why, it's like 2 in 1!" Nikolai smiled, "I like that idea! You can-"

"No." Fyodor said.

Nikolai looked at him, "Hm?"

"He doesn't get L/n." He told Nikolai, "He should only get Sigma."

"Why not?" Dazai smirked, "It's a 2 in 1 deal."

"I choose L/n."

My eyes widened more.

Why me?

"I called her first. She's mine." Dazai said.

"Or!" Nikolai cut in, "Dos has the option of choosing one more item from the table!"

Fyodor looked away in defeat and stared at the table, "I won't need them."

....Why does it matter if he doesn't get me?
