Ang Boyfriend Kong Demon King (Soon To Be Published)

Chapter 55 - Matrix

(POV Maia)

Pagbaba namin sa living room, si Cole ay may kausap sa phone habang nakaharap sa laptop at si Maddie ay may hawak na mga printed documents from the printer. They are both busy at hindi nila namalayan na andun na kami.

"Anong meron?" tanong ni Jared kay Maddie.

"I think they have already started their so called game. Amos just sent these documents a few minutes ago," sagot ni Maddie sabay bigay ng print-outs sa amin ni Jared.

All of the documents are related to suicide, but there is one common factor. All of the suicide victims used a knife or any sharp tool to pierce their hearts. The killings are spread all over the world and there is no other common factor.

"What the fuck are they thinking? Killing random innocent people because of their so called game?" inis na sabi ni Jared habang tinitignan ang mga papel. He is clenching his fist at may lumalabas na dark aura sa kanya sa galit niya.

"Jared, calm down. You have to focus. We need to be ahead of their game," sabi ko sabay hawak sa kamay niya para kumalma siya.

"Maia is right. We need to focus Jared. These killings are not released to the public as these are classified information. Amos was able to hack these from a federal government site," dagdag ni Maddie.

"That is against the law," galit na sabi pa din ni Jared.

"Amos is a hacker, his work is always against the law. Cole is speaking with Uncle Syl right now about these deaths. They are aware of the situation. I need your talented brain, brother. What do you think about these deaths? How can we catch them? How can we even stop them?"

Jared scanned the documents. He has an eidetic memory and he can easily remember all of these details.

"The killings are scattered all over the world and there is only one common factor, suicide by means of piercing their hearts. It reminds me kung paano pumatay noon si Mason. All of the deaths are related sa heart. It looks random, but I know we are missing something," sabi ni Jared habang nakatingin sa documents.

"Sino tingin mo ang gagawa nito?" tanong ko kay Jared.

"Obviously gawa ito ng mga demon generals, but I have a feeling there is more to it."

"What the hell!" sigaw ni Cole habang nakaharap sa laptop niya.

"Cole, anong nangyari?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Maddie.

"I lose control with my computer as if someone is remotely accessing it."

We can see that the mouse cursor is moving on his screen kahit walang gumagalaw sa laptop ni Cole. The screen suddenly turned black and numerous green letters, symbols and characters are now flooding the screen as if may virus na nakapasok sa laptop. It reminds of the matrix digital rain code in The Matrix movie. Whoever did this is making fun of us.

"Cole, just turn it off, please," sabi ni Maddie.

"No, leave it on. Call Amos and ask him if he can locate the person who is accessing your computer," utos ni Jared na nakatitig lang sa screen.

Ilang sandali pa ay nawala ang raining green codes sa screen. Biglang lumitaw ang isang maliit na black window. It looks like a Windows Command Prompt with a blinking cursor. All of our eyes widened nang biglang may nag type na letters sa screen as if Cole's laptop is alive.

Catch me if you can and the world is our playground...

A game of life and death, an amusement that cannot be expound...

Say when and where is my next death blow...

Say and I will stop your sorrow...

Until then I will be someone you can't outsmart...

Singapore and Ecuador are the best place to start...

All of us were dumbfounded with what we saw on the screen. Someone is communicating with us and wants to start a game of killing.

"Say when and where is my next death blow? Does it mean that these freaks want to us to guess their next crime?" tanong ni Maddie.

"They are using humans as pawns in this so called games," galit na sabi ni Jared.

"Jared, I think this is the work of Abraxas and Alastair. Sila lang ang capable na gumawa nito! They hate humans ever since sabi ng mommy at daddy!" sigaw ni Maddie, but Jared is still looking at the screen.

Though obvious na si Abraxas at Alastair lang pwede gumawa nito, I can feel that Jared is not convinced at all.

"I hope you are right, Maddie. I have high hopes that we can defeat these two demon generals. Cole, make sure to monitor this laptop, don't use this anymore. Coordinate with Amos to find out who the hell is trying to contact us. Maddie, gather as much as information as you can. If this game is real, all we need to do is to answer when and where he will next kill," sabi ni Jared na lumabas ng bahay nila at pumunta sa pool.

"I will go after him. Let me know if I can be of any help."

"Thanks, Maia. Something is surely bothering Jared and I think you are the only one that can help him," sagot ni Maddie sa akin.
