Wild Glamourous Show?
(The End of his Little Game
Chapter, Part Five)

ROSALINDA

Mabilis akong tumakbo papunta sa kinaroroonan niya. As soon as I went over to him, I clenched my teeth when I realized I didn’t have anything sharp to cut the ropes wrapped around him. I totally forgot about it. Napatingin ako sa buong paligid, umiilaw ang mga bomba, at habang ito'y umiilaw ay nagpapatuloy ang pagtakbo ng oras, hudyat na kung hindi kami makakaalis sa lugar na ito, tiyak na hindi kami makakalabas ng buhay.

Bubuhatin ko na sana si Doyle papalabas ng silid, subalit biglang sumara ang pinto. The metallic door is automatically locked by itself. Tumakbo ako papunta doon at napatingin sa isang teknolohiya na nakadikit mismo sa gitna ng pinto. It’s full of letters and numbers, like a keyboard with a rectangular screen on top. Most likely, to get out of this place, we have to find out what the code is.

"You might be wondering," wika ng lalaking may pamilyar na boses. Napatingin ako kung saan iyon nanggaling. The voice came from the screen that almost looked like a TV. "Why did that serial killer leave you and your friends unharmed? Napag-isipan ko 'to kanina—if I end your life now, it's so boring. I want to see you suffer, living in this world." He chuckled. "Let me rephrase that a bit—all I want is to watch you and Doyle die. All I did was scare you away so that Mephistopheles would bring you here to me."

Mephistopheles?

Among all the people I am with today—Clark, Solomon, Dmitriy, and the two drivers, which are my driver and Solomon’s driver—who is Mephistopheles among them?

"Having a right-hand man makes everything easier," aniya, saka tumayo mula sa kinauupuan nito. He was standing where the light flashed, and he was surrounded by darkness. "Hm, you know what I was thinking? Should I make my website public and easily accessible for others to open? That would be a good idea."

Nanatili akong tahimik. Ngunit nararamdaman ko ang namumuong galit sa aking katawan na para na akong sasabog. He really thinks his idea is brilliant. If I didn’t know what’s right or wrong, I’d already be hunting him down and slowly cutting his body into pieces. If I didn’t know right from wrong, I’d hunt him down and slowly carve his world into the darkest nightmare.

"What do you think, Rosalinda?" Nanatili akong tahimik; wala akong balak na kausapin ito. "No response? Be ready. Everything that happened is just the beginning."

Nararamdaman ko ang aking mga ugat na puputok na dahil sa namumuong galit, subalit pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong magpalamon sa galit dahil hindi iyon makakatulong sa aming pagtakas mula rito. I have to stay calm as much as possible so I can think properly.

"I’ll give you hints to decrypt the cipher in order for you and him to escape this place. But remember, the time is running, as well as the time for your escape. If you’re not able to get the code, you know what will happen." The screen went dark. "Don’t worry, you can solve these easily. Of course, I will give you hints."

"If the code is incorrect, what will happen?" I asked, trying to stay calm.

"You finally talked. To answer your question, you will be able to see what happens if you input the incorrect code."

To give you my guess, it’s either the bomb will trigger or nothing will happen.

Eternity will guarantee you 
A life you've been searching upon 
Fly, Swim, and Jump, until you're 
two-hundred years aged 
Don’t let the wind know your page 
We are no mortal, but why are you 
standing upon your tomb.
