I have jumped and seen the situation. I pointed the flashlight up, right at June's face. "June, let's go down, we finish this quickly." June nodded in doubt.

"I will shift the table in there to here, so you can land more easily," and I went to pull the table.

Amid the silence, the tips of the table legs rubbing against the floor are not pleasant to hear. But I have to do it quickly before June runs off again.

"Don't be noisy!" a voice echoed, I fell silent.

"AAaaAAAaaaAAA...!" June screamed again and ran away, while the others immediately follow her, and now I was left alone.

In a frozen state, I tried hard to direct the flashlight to the sound source, but no one was there. Slowly the light of the flashlight dimmed, and I could see this room now had dim light.

"Your flashlight is dazzling!"

"Shit!" I immediately ran erratically and entered a room that looked bright.

My breath was hunting each other, then realized that I was entering a strange room because this room was completely different. No dust, no spider web, and no scary vibes. The tables here are neatly arranged complete with reclining chairs, books, television, and others. I realized that this room looked like an office without windows.

But this strange feeling didn't stay too long, next, I was shocked when someone talked to me.

"Until when do you stand there? Choose the place you like and sit down," said the man wearing a white surgical suit.

I didn't answer, at this time I did not feel afraid because the ghost that I saw felt like a human.

"Are you new here?" I jumped in surprise when a man in a neat suit spoke right beside me.

"Hey, she's a girl, don't get too close it will make her uncomfortable," explained another man who was wearing a nice shirt suit walking in front of me.

"Wh--what happened...?" I asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

The three men who were now sitting at one table together turned, "Of course, you're in the office of government now," they answered together.

"Wh--what?"

"What is your job? I am a veterinarian, my name is Anderson."

"I'm Eric, my job is a judge."

"And I'm Robert, a teacher."

"I--" a pause, "I'm Nora, a human."

"Human?" Eric laughed out loud.

Robert elbowed him to be quiet, "Forgive him. Eric is too proud because he is a judge. I know you are embarrassed to call yourself unemployed, it's okay, we've all been unemployed before too," Anderson nodded, agreeing with Robert's words.

Nora smiled awkwardly, "That's not what I meant, but I'm human. Do you know? Human? Living creature...?"

"Of course you're human, we're all humans too," Anderson answered.

Nora slowly approached, "I doubt your answer, Sir."

"Huh? Sir? Just call me Anderson, we are all young, we are 25 years old. How about you?"

"I'm still a high school student, I'm only 17 years old."

"Excellent! So we get young girls now," Eric said and I just laughed awkwardly.
