The Mysterious Land 28 Part 19: The Harsh Truth

The meeting was ended with negative results as usual, that ending was expected to happen ... whatever how the masters of the continent plan to end the contention between them ... the outcome of the meeting will be exactly the same as any other year pa.s.s ... because the wrong party is clear ... and the demands of the people who embody the real justice are the same every year ... that must be wiped out the special organization from the continent ... Yes, this is the right solution to end everything…

And since the organization refuses to give up ... it means that it wants to exploit the people of the continent more and more ... Yes ... Gathering a huge group of people in an isolated continent from the world ... it will be very easy to exploit them…

After all that had happened, Mr. Casillo canceled the meeting quickly…

Even though he was supporting the special organization during the summit meeting ... but, after all, he is not a bad person ... he was just doing what he ordered ... so with great rigor ... he did what he had to do ... stop the conflict for fear of worse things that would happen ! he did all his best and he really wanted to make his dream come true for getting the n.o.ble peace prize ... but even though ... he had his moral principles to which he was bound…

And at that moment ... he was quite wrong to think he could control those people !

The boss of the Phoenix Corps arrived at the center ... and the first person who met her there was...

That short young woman … with that blonde her…

It was her vice Katrina…

" Oh, boss, you came back early this time ... did you cause the problems again? " Katrina said

With a big smile…

The boss replied angrily:

" That meeting ... I will not attend it anymore, it is really a nuisance "

" Oh ! what happened there? "

..

" Ah ... Mrs. Satania intervened this time "

With a sly smile Katrina answered:

" Hmm ! And wasn't that expected? ... You two ... you were planning on something all the time ... Mrs. Satania must have been helping you to achieve your goal ... isn't that right? Boss "

With nervous:

" Y-You sly girl … were you spying on me or something? "

" Hihi What?, do you think I did not notice that, and you also sent Koja to that cafe deliberately ... so that he could meet her at the end of the street ... Was that part of your plan as well? "

" Katrina … if you have something to tell.... "

Suddenly … Katrina interrupted the boss words … Saying words that seemed too vague ... or ... words that revealed some things that were vague about the boss…

Katrina said that with a serious smile … as if … she wanted to know something really important…

So she said:

" It's just a question, boss …. being your deputy ... I'm the only one who knows your truth ... I am the only one who knows the truth behind the formation of our corps ... If you achieve your goal in...... retrieve the deadly characters squad ! what will you do after that? Will..... will you leave the city of the criminals' hunters? "

..

..

!!

Nani?

The boss made that panic face … as if … she didn't think about something like that before … but she quickly regained her consciousness … and said:

" It's something still far from happening ... but if I do, I will definitely not going to leave anyone here behind, So tell me now …. where is that Baka epsilon ! "

After Katrina made that smile again and for a few moments … she said:

" So ka? That makes me happy, boss "

****

The boss headed directly to where Koja was…

After being overwhelmed by the powerful punch he received from Grishia ... he fell completely defeated...

Then Grishia took him to her dormitory room…

As soon as the boss arrived there ... she heard those loud screams…

" L-Let me go !!! YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.dS !!!! I will fight you all again, I'm already ready for that ... just untie me and I will fight all the inhabitants of this city at once if you want that ! can you hear me? you cowards !!! "

That was the voice of Koja of course...

" Annoying !! this person is really annoying ! "

While the boss was going up through the stairs to the room of Grishia … she didn't know for sure the kind of bad time that koja was pa.s.sing…

But…

At the moment she opened the door of the room….

She saw that…

Koja was tied up by strange chains ... it made him cannot move his body at all, even if he is a raym user he would have had a hard time smashing them all…

It looked like it was covering his skin so it was difficult for Koja to free the raym through his skin's pores ... if he did, he was able for sure to harden his body and break the strange chains with his muscles!

But even so, Grishia exaggerated so much that she almost strangled Koja … with the stupid way that she tied up koja with…

So as soon as the boss saw koja … she said with a surprised tone:

" Grishia, that Aho ! she has gone too far with that "

Shouted Koja loudly at the first glance saw the boss .... he said with a very loud tone like he was really angry:

" You finally came ... you b.a.s.t.a.r.d !! What do you intend to do to me? Why don't you just kill me? If your goal is to extract information from my head about the organization "

The boss didn't answer anything … she just leaned on the wall and she lit a cigarette and said with boring tone:

" Can you just shut for a while? your voice has already begun to hurt my head "

But even though koja didn't want to stop screaming ! he was really angry:

" I told you just UNTIE ME !! and let's fight 1VS1..... "

Suddenly …. With deep anger…

The boss. .h.i.t the wall with her left hand … which made her hand stuck inside the wall completely….

" I'm not here to fight you.... So can you just shut up and give a chance to talk "

Koja pressed his teeth with great force ... but he decided to calm down a bit ... and listen to what the boss wanted … that would have seemed the best option:

" What do you want? I'm all ears ! "

The boss sighed ... and then she gathered her forces ... as if she did not want to do so at that moment ... but she exceeded her fears ... and took out the device that Satania gave to her...

Koja felt surprised from the first moment he saw the device ! so he said:

" K-Kore Wa ! "

" Hai, this is a special recording device that was recently invented, just a few years ago … even the special organization does not have many of this sophisticated device whose data cannot be transferred to any other device … because it contains a coded encryption technology to secure the device so it is hard to penetrate ... well, maybe that code can be decrypted ... but it may take a thousand years of continuous work to do this ... so you can say that it is impossible to manipulate the data of this device no matter what happens "

Koja said with a vague tone:

" And...? why you are introducing to me a device I have the same as it in my house? "

" Oh ! this is great…. So It will be easy to believe what you are going to hear right now ! and here we go…. "

The boss….

Pressed the play b.u.t.ton…

And…

After…

1..

2…

3…

The sound started to get out of the device, and Koja began to hear what the boss has given ... he heard all that was going on there...

The intervention of the Occisor Satania ... the game ... and ... the one who caused the destruction of the continent that he came from !!!!!!!!

Africania …. the place where I belong to … this person did he just say that …. the organization...

At that moment ... Koja did not remember his loyalty to the organization only ... he did not remember those only the days when he served the organization ... but also remembered ... those words that Maya told him that day…

( Because I fear if I used to kill people ...  I will not care whom I kill ... I am afraid of killing innocents without any regard )

Those words made him remember everyone Koja killed … Yes, and of course ... it was impossible for him to accept it ... if he did ... he would certainly pa.s.s regrets that he did not pa.s.s through in his whole life…

So for this … the organization was always right and I can't accept that … this must be what he wanted to say….

" This is …. this …. This must be fake ! "

Suddenly and in those moments … a man in his early 30s entered the room of Grishia … with bright white hair ... and round gla.s.ses, he was carrying a laptop under his right arm…

And with a cold tone he talked to koja saying:

" Did you say fake? are you trying to be stupid or something? This is ( The smart recorder III ) even I the NetD0G can't manipulate with it "

Koja said with surprise:

" The NetD0G? are you the one who located my house and give its co-ordinates to…. Maya? "

The man said:

" Ah…. I'm one of the phoenix corps members ... and one of the officials of the intelligence service of izmilia city … So, I can say confidently that what you just heard was the truth ! "

..

..

After koja made that face as if he was kind of nervous….

So with an angry tone he suddenly said:

" Even so, it is impossible to believe just words in a device ... this is not even proof "

Koja's body … didn't stop shaking…

He was really so nervous…

The NetD0G sighted then he said:

" I was sure you might say such words ... after Katrina told me that you are detainee here, I have prepared something special for you ! – with a scary tone – In order to clarify the whole truth here ! "

" N-Nani? "

In those instants….

The NetD0G opened his laptop … then he made it close from koja…

" I found this after I hacked your home protection system ... I did not expect to be connected with the organization's intelligence system, but before that ... you have to see this ... this is a plan of the networks that are connected to your information network ... and also below ... this scheme is a telephone link scheme ... where we can see that all the calls you make are spying on them and can be easily converted, this is the only link between the intelligence system of the organization and your home system.... Now "

The NetD0G pressed on a b.u.t.ton of the laptop and suddenly….

Everyone inside the room started to listen to that voice that was coming out of it…

..

..

- Boss ... the agent epsilon has contacted one of his acquaintances about the forgotten continent ... What is work?

- The other party: block all the E-mails and the phone messages that reach that person ... And continue to monitor his acquaintance one by one ... And do not forget also to monitor all his movements ... Do not let him know the truth of what happened to that continent whatever happened ... epsilon is the most important agent in our organization so we must not lose him that easy...

Then stopped the voice of recording suddenly ... Koja felt so much terrified and said with a voice very hesitant:

" The first voice was for….. Zaki ! could it be that ... Zaki was spying on me all that time? Zaki is .... the first person I contacted in order to help me know exactly what happened to the forgotten continent…. "

And for another time … koja felt that inside of him….

He felt as … if he wanted to let everything as it used to be….

He did not have the courage to accept everything he heard…

So again … he closed his mind from accepting any other information it might receive from the NetD0G…

" This is..... F...…. "

And before he even finished that meaningless word … NetD0G interrupted him…

He was inevitably tired of hearing it all the time…

" Fake? This what do you want to say again? "

The NetD0G sighted then he came close from koja more…

" Sounds like, you have a problem with audio recordings right? – with a smile – So what about this? "

Suddenly after the NetD0G did that again …. After he clicked on one the b.u.t.tons of the laptop…

Koja…

Saw something different this time…

It was not an audio recording….

But…

It was... a video clip?

And before that moment when the video started … the NetD0G finished his words saying:

" You might find this offensive, but you must watch it till the end … this is a video from a single military center ... so it has to be special for only one person  "

1…

2…

3…

The most horrible thing started….

It was a video recorded from a surveillance camera...

It shows five masked people ... they were beating a woman violently...

Then they forced her to write something on a big paper while she was lying on the ground...

She was doing it very hard...

" We have warned you several times ... to do not communicate with that agent ... but you violated the organization's orders and repeated the same mistake another time... "

But even so ... although she was barely dying from severe beatings...

That woman was….

Smiling…

" I apologize for betraying you, Koja ... I hope you will forgive me for this ... I really apologize ... I enjoyed those times with you when we were in the military center ... those times when we ran out of our morning training just to play the video games in my room ... - with a crying tone - I really apologize, aibou "

One of the organization's men said in mockery:

" Haaa? what does she babbling about, this idiot? "

" Who cares just kill her ! "

Suddenly one of the masked men carried on what the strange woman was writing on ... Then he put it in a big yellow envelope ... after he removed a letter that was placed inside the envelope and threw it in the ground…

In the same place where the woman was…

There was a giant eagle standing motionless ... It was a special eagle for the secrets letters...

And…

That eagle…

We already see it before…

Yes, it was it for sure…

Then the organization member ordered the eagle to fly…

At that moment … the eagle left the place…

And before the recorded video ends ... a very terrible thing happened ... one of the masked men took a pistol out of his black coat ... pointing towards the strange woman ..... then he shot many times without any mercy….

Koja…

Didn't believe what he just watched !!!!

With panic….

With very wide eyes….

And in hysterical tone:

" Impossible ... this ... Was she, one of my acquaintances..... Lecia? .... Impossible ... Did the men of the organization really kill Lecia? ... Is Lecia really dead at this moment? "

The NetD0G with a strict tone:

" Not yet ... that's not everything ... keep watching !!!! Epsiloooon...…..!! "

Suddenly the NetD0G changed the view of the same scene but from a different surveillance camera … and he did that with just one press … to read that letter that was on the ground very clearly ... after the NetD0G zoom it…

And it was …. The original letter that Lecia was trying to send to koja…

If the organization had not stopped her….

The content:  Beware of the special organization, Koja ... I have been informed by one of my specialists' acquaintances that the organization is the main responsible for that black explosive material ... which is not found only at the bottom of this continent ... so there is a possibility that the organization is .... the one who destroyed the forgotten continent ... ah, I think there are a lot of things that I have to explain before this ... so we have to meet as soon as you can in order to explain more stuff to you ... Select the place and time, koja

..

..

Yes, this innocent woman who was brutally murdered by the organization ... is the last person koja asked in order to help him to investigate his destroyed homeland…

Koja …. Will, he accept this?

" You have been manipulated all this time, Epsilon ... So, this is the revenge that we and Lizabeth have prepared for you .... just back to your sensed epsilon! " said the boss

" T-This is impossible "

She said again … after Koja wore that fearful face that was devoid of expressions ... his eyes were very wide and seemed as if they lost their sparkles … koja looked as if he had entered into some kind of hallucination…

But even though the boss continued her insistence…

" Back to your senses ... You are not like them "

" STOP IT ! "

The NetD0G said:

" You are really so pathetic .... after all that you have seen .... after all those evidence you have seen by yourself .... you still prevent yourself from believing ! "

He must have remembered the days he spent with that woman when they were in the army ... That must have made him remember many things that he felt as if he had ... lost forever ... and it is impossible to retrieve them no matter what he tried...

At that moment ... Koja felt so...

He felt the suffering of the people of the continent...

And understanding the meaning of losing someone dear to you...

Koja .... felt lost again...

( I just fell more and more ... and every time I fell more ... I sink and sink ... into the dark of me ... into the night that lies inside me ... and all that.... activated the first evidence that I'm not a human bean )

..

And...

At that moment.........…!!!

Something really weird happened...…..

" I told you........ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

That scream that came from the depths of koja...…..

It was not just a normal scream !!!!

It was not his voice …. It's like … he's voice became bolder !

As if….

It was the voice of a man in his forties...!!!

This was really strange and something really mysterious happened to koja…

Even the NetD0G and the boss noticed that weird thing !!

And…

As if things stopped at this much.....!!!

Suddenly…..!!!

A very violent wave has emitted from koja's body ... waves that were accompanied to an aggressive raym vapor … made the boss and the NetD0G go back many steps…..

" What is this......…. The aggressive raym !!!? "

The floor of the Grishia room........ got cracked !

Windows completely crashed...

And...

As soon as Koja moved one of his right hand's fingers...

All the chains that he was tied up with ... got a cut by the violent wave that emanated from his right arm…

" T-This is impossible.... Those chains !! "

Suddenly…. Before even the boss finished her words….

The NetD0g pushed the boss away to protect her from the strong waves...

Then he took out a medical needle … as if he was preparing it for an emergency like this…

Then with a fast move … he injected Koja with it ... so he fell fainting on the ground in a short time...

..

..

After the situation calmed down inside the room….

The boss said in a panic:

"W-What was that? This pressure ... inevitably was not from the pressure of the raym energy.... this person ... has been tied up by those chains that blocked his skin pores ... So he could not even active the raym ... W-What just happened? how could he do something like this? "

" I don't know…. Even I…. I don't know … I never saw something strange like this before ! this person…. Who is he exactly? "
