You need to die to start a new life.
And Medieval knew that! Medieval knew that he needed to die to have a chance again.
That was why he tried methods to kill himself and even offered me to be on the test subjects para sa Project na to.
"Nababaliw na si Maximil," exclaim ni Senior Gabe.
Napahimas din ng noo si Jedi a stress. At humigpit ang kapit sa akin ni Kesyla.
The gravity of this Project is indeed insane na kahit ang tahimik na Senior Gabe ay napasalita.
Ni hindi ko magawang magloko at mangulit dahil unti-unting narereveal sa harapan ko ang mga piraso para patunayan na tama nga ako.
My real question is. Bakit nila pinagpatuloy ang Project na ito kung itinigil na ito ilang taon ng lumipas?
Then the realization hit me like a truck when I saw Medieval.
Ciencio was desperate to get the Immortality code from Medieval that they resulted in pushing this insane project through!
Gusto pa ngang ibigay ng Ciencio ang trono ni Envinci kay Medieval sa sobrang desperado nila dahil lang sa hindi sila sigurado kung magiging successful ba ang Transgmigration Project.
But years ago. Medieval had contact with them. Maximil told me they pushed this Project about 3 years ago. Ciencio had the power to order a department to start a project and they would promise them a budget.
Ciencio ordered The Unit to proceed with the Transmigration Project, and they did.
Medieval tricked the Ciencio into continuing the Transmigration Project. So he could use it to travel.
Katulad ng sinabi niya sa akin last time. Hindi ko naman alam na siya pala ang mastermind.
But Medieval's only problem is he needed to die. He needs to achieve death.
That's why he tricked us, the Intel, into his callous games of dropping codes while those codes never led to immortality code, but rather his ways to accomplish death.
Still with the devastation in his face, him burning himself on a volcano didn't help.
Ano na ngayon, Medieval? Ano ng plano mo ngayon? You can't die. You can't use the Transmigration Tube.
Para akong nagpupuyos sa galit sa kan'ya. He tricked us, used us, and endanged Cipherians. That's how selfish he is.
Nagsisisi akong naawa pa ako sa kan'ya.
"Okay ka lang, Sayn?" mahinang tanong ni Saya.
"Oo." Hinila ko si Saya medyo malayo. "May pabor ako. You can choose what to do with it. Ipasa mo sa iba or kung okay lang..."
This time nakita kong nilagay na ang katawan ng buhay na tao sa tube. It was a man. In his 30s. Pale. Sobrang payat dahil mukhang matagal na siyang under ng life support.
I'm sure he had a name. But they didn't bother with it. It was his family's consent that they were proceeding with this.
To everyone, he could be a successful or a failed test subject.
To me, he was just like everyone else. Pawns for that evil Medieval.
"It's okay, Cosine. Ano 'yon?"
Binigay ko sa kan'ya ang medyo mabigat na kalahati ng Locket Pocket ko. I intended that extra weight while making it para maramdaman kong dala ko pa rin siya sa bulsa ko. I tend to lose a lot of my things. Forget where I put them so the weight is the remembrance that I still have it with me.
"Ano 'to?"
Tiningnan niya ang kalahati. It resembles a clock kapag hindi ginagamit. To conceal its real function na rin. It was gold. Tinted glass.
"When you tap it would show a very important message. That is when, the right time comes."
"Cosine? Kinakabahan ako. Ano... ano bang nangyayari? At saka bakit ako?" Tanong niya sa akin sabay lingon sa nangyayari sa harap.
This time napansin kong binibilang na nila bago tanggalin ang life support at iactivate ang tube. Stable ang 10 sa monitor. 10 seconds bago tanggalin ang tube.
Maximil told me that the subject has to die for 3 seconds before they activate it, but failure to accomplish it within 3 seconds, transmigration of souls to another body would likely fail.
Binalik ko na rin ang tingin kay Saya.
"You're a guest in Cipher City. They would not hold you accountable for whatever I would do. They would think I forced you into it."
"Ano nga muna ba yun, Cosine? Nagpapaalam ka na ba?"
I smiled at him at umiling.
"This is what would save the inhabitants of this planet. Truth to some. Wicked lies to others. Help me deliver it. Don't worry. You would know when to show it to the people of this planet."
I finally said. Refusing to say that this humongous heavy-gravity pulling all over our body every single day is just a mere city, and admitting the fact that the ruling people coined its term to cage us.
Make us feel that this is just a mere city not just an entire planet. With species very different from another. That life exists here too.
Bumiling ang lahat. Sabay-sabay.
3....
2....
1....
At tinanggal na nga ang life support.
The tube glowed red.
Blood red.
You know, this shade of red never looked good in the blues of the water.
Umalingangaw ang sigaw, protesta, at iyak ng iba habang pinanonood ang pinakaunang human subject para sa isang proyekto ng pabagsak ng Ciencio.
Umalis na ako doon at dumiretso para bumili ng cake. Sa tingin ko nagkicrave pa rin si Envinci ng cake hanggang ngayon.
