03: {New Member, Another Obstacle}

<><>

Dinner is quite tense for the four when Sister Krone arrived. They are observing Sister Krone and Mama who have a small talk while walking in the corridorr. "Please use this room" Mama spoke humbly, "understood, thank you" Sister Krone replied. Emma, Norman, Amelie, and Ray eyeing them from the bottom staircase, "she's settling down in a bad spot" Ray said, leaning at the wall as he put his hands insie his pocket. "Her room is between the three children's room" Emma takes a closer look at the two adults, "to make it easier for her to watch us..." Norman crossed his arms. They put a fake smile before Mama and Sister could see their real expression, Amelie looks at Sister Krone in her eyes and turned it into her sweetest fake smile.

"I was too distracted with the tracking devices that I didn't think about an arrival of another adult" Norman leaned his forehead onto the wall inside the library with slight panic on his face, "actually, we should be happy about it" Ray said. "Huh? Be happy? Why?" Emma looks confused by his words, "We should be happy about Carol and Sister Krone, Emma. Because we have two more sources of information" Ray stated.

"I see" Norman replied, "first, where did those two come from?" Amelie questioned, putting her index finger and thumb on her chin. "Carol is Conny's replacement, so they're replinishing the merchandice" Norman exclaimed, walking away from the world map on the wall and grabbing the two chairs with his palms. Emma seems gloomy when Norman mentioned Conny, remembering that night at the gate.

Amelie tilted her head backwards like she noticed something "yeah, if this place is a farm-" "then there must be a place or a site where they prepare one-year-old babies for replenishment" Amelie cut Ray's sentence who is trying to explain. "So, are we originally came from that place?" Emma asked finally after a few minutes of silence, "probably. And also that Sister Krone" Ray answered.

"It's significant that there's another adult besides Mama. There might be other farms just like here" Norman said, "for example, Glory Bell. The farm that I came from" Amelie stated.

"True. So are the adults who obey the demons under the control of demons from birth or after they're captured?" Norman looks at the three, "after we escape, things will change depending on that" Norman concluded.

"But first, we need to figure out how to escape with everyone and find where is the tracking device" Ray questioned, Amelie still have these feeling that Ray is still doubting the idea. Emma turned around as she rubbed her body "I searched all over my body, but I didn't find any traces of something implanted"

Emma keeps rubbing untill Norman interrupted, "and nothing n our clothes or shoes" Norman continued. "Based on humankind's existing technology, it probably uses radio waves. But that requires batteries. Something really small that wouldn't leave a scar, and with batteries that last over 10 years. That kind of product wouldn't exist in 2015" Ray explained with his monotone voice.

Amelie and Emma looked at each other with confusion before looking back at the ravenette, "meaning?" they asked, Amelie scratching her head with confusion. "Meaning...it'll be difficult to predict the mechanism, find the location, and how to break it and we might as well give up if it's technology originating from the demons" Ray continued, making it clear for them to undestand. "true" the snow-white-hair muttered.

Their eyes widened, "wait! Does that mean...checkmate!?" Amelie exclaimed. "Yep" Ray simply said it with a nod,  "GAAAAGH...! We're totally screwed!!" Emma yelled as she ruffled her messy orange hair out of frustration, "Uuuuurgh..." Amelie banged her forehead on the table as she groaned.

"Well...if we can't igure it out, we can think about it" Norman said, "yeah, we can also seek from the enemy's point of view. Where and what kind of device would be the most convenient to implant?" Ray said.
