Breathe (ONGOING)

Chapter 27

MAUREEN's POV

"This is bullshit Kenji! Do we really need to kill to gather the information we need for their fucking secret!?" Histerikal na bulong ko kay Kenji na kasalukuyang nagmamasid sa labas ng bintana ng classroom na pinagtataguan namin.

"No Maureen. Isa lang iyong kasinungalingan. They create this game to kill those people who have intention to the Book of Secret of the university. This is a survival game Maureen." Paliwanag nito sa akin sa mahinahong tono habang nagmamasid sa labas. Kinunotan ko naman ito ng noo dahil sa kanyang sinabi.

Bale tama pala ang hinala ko? This is good.

"I know Kenji. Sino ba namang ang gustong mabunyag ang matagal ng tinatago ng university? Malamang wala." Nakangising saad ko.

Tinititigan ko na lamang ngayon ang kisame ng silid na napasukan naman at hindi alintana ang init na nararamdaman.

"W-wait. What did you say? Y-you knew? How?" Gulat na tanong sa akin.

Tinignan ko naman ito at nakatingin ito sa akin tila nagsususpetsa dahil sa mga salitang binitawan ko sa kanya kaya tinaasan ko ito ng kilay at pinangliitan ng mata dahil sa binabato niyang tingin sa akin.

"Really Marseh? Halata namang bait na itong larong ito para sa mga estudyanteng may balak alamin yung sikreto ng university." Napatango nalang ito sa aking sinabi at pinagpatuloy niya ang pagmamasid sa labas ng silid na aming pinagtataguan.

-FLASHBACK-

"Your exam is just an easy pussy like what others said awhile ago. This is a game kiddos. In short, your exam is just a game. No need computations, memorization, and etc." Marami naman ang nagsihiyawan dahil sa sinabi ng taong nasa harap samantalang ako ay kunot noo ko lang itong tinignan dahil sa kanyang sinabi.

A game? Easy pussy? This is suspicious. These shits is up to something. Mukhang may mangyayaring hindi maganda talaga.

"This game called Killing is Necessary. You only need to gather information about the university but there's a twist about it. Do you want to know what is it?" Tanong nito sa amin at marami naman ang sumagot sa kanya ng YES.

I rolled my eyes heavenly because of their stupidity.

Hindi ba sila nagsususpetsa dahil sa titolo ng larong lalaruin namin? Sa pangalan palang ng larong sinasabi niya ay nandoon na agad yung kailangan naming gawin! Bakang ina mga bobo ba sila?

"Before that, let me tell you about some information of our game called Killing is Necessary. Using a combination of books and old fashioned tactile clues in the library of our university, players are challenged to solve 166-year-old clues that will reveal the truth behind the secret of our university. In a university of fact and fiction, players work the ancient case as masters gatherers. Your group is broken into teams, each competing to be the first to solve the mystery." Mahabang eksplanasyon nito sa background ng aming lalaruing laro bilang exam namin para maka graduate ng first year.

Is this a bait for those students who want to know the secrets and dark secrects of their school?

If you can fool them, then you can't fool me like them. I am more smarter than them. You're belittling us.

"I know that all of you is curious about the university right? This is your chance to discover what are those secrets. You can form a group to fasten your information gathering. It can also be partnership only." Hindi pa man natatapos ang nagsasalita sa harapan ay agad na nagsi ingayan ang mga estudyanteng nasa paligid ko para humanap ng kagrupo nila.
