BOOK 6} CHAPTER 52
BO6-32, Part 2
BO6-32、パート2
I searched around the plain, but nothing.
"There's no mistake... this is BO6-32," I said softly.
"What's going on?" wondered Gilda.
"There's nothing here!" Thoma exclaimed.
"No signs. Nothing," Don said softly.
"How about people? Is there anyone nearby?" Ray asked.
Nat looked through his binoculars, "I don't think so..."
"Then what about Mr. Minerva? He's not here either?!"
"Why not?!" Anna struggled to calm the kids, everyone was in panic.
"LIARRRRR!" the kids erupted into yelling.
"HE SAID HE'D BE HERE!!"
"HE SAID TO COME AND SEE HIM!!"
"THAT'S WHY WE CAME!!"
I stared at them blankly, "Are you done?"
I asked with a sigh.
"Yeah!" they said.
I rolled my eyes and nodded.
Jemima took it to herself and brought herself to my shoulders.
And now, I was carrying her.
We had to be calm in this situation and think.
Not panic, like everyone is doing.
So I started to give them logic.
"So calm down and listen. If Minerva is the actual one going to and from the two worlds... it means he's not constantly in this one. And even if there is a reduced danger of being attacked by demons in this area..." I trailed and looked at Ray.
He nodded, and continued for me.
"He can't have a sign saying "There are humans here"... or have a human stand out here all the time," he said.
"Emma, give me the pen," he then said.
"Oh! Here," she handed it to him.
"Last night, I saw the rest. The rest of the information inside the pen that we only got halfway through last time," he started.
"Did you find anything?" Gilda asked.
"No, nothing. To be accurate, I couldn't see anything." he responded.
"What do you mean?" Emma asked.
"I couldn't go to the next slide. Even though I put in the correct answer. Now matter how many times I tried... the only thing I was able to see was Minerva's message," I listened to Ray, but looked at the amulet Mujika gave me.
"Besides, Norman didn't tell you... to look through this pen carefully before escaping. So I had assumed the information wasn't something we needed immediately," he continued.
I kept Jemima on my shoulders as I thought.
"But that wasn't it. I was wrong. Even Norman couldn't see everything at the house," Ray said.
{ Huh, surprising. }
"So, I'm guessing... it's made so you can't see beyond a certain point unless you go to a specified location," Ray finished, smiling.
"A specified location..." Emma muttered.
"Yeah. Here at BO6-32," Ray said.
"Y/n!" he then shouted.
"Huh?!" I exclaimed, breaking out of my thoughts.
He threw the pen at me and I caught it, opening it up.
I looked at the screen,
"First..." I trailed off.
" "Touch Me!"" Jemima and Yvette told me.
I typed it in.
"Page 45, Line 3, Word 3!"
Alicia and Dominic shouted to Don.
"Coming!!" Don said, flipping through the book.
"Huh? The passwords are different from before," Emma pointed out.
"Does it change each time? What a hassle," muttered Nat.
"Mr. Minerva's message!"
"Next!!"
"This is the one. It's the screen that gave an error and prevented me from seeing further," said Ray.
He was next to me, his hand on my shoulder.
"Page 108, Line 15-"
" "History!""
"The word is "History"!!"
I put in "History"
The screen changed and Ray and I smiled while the kids cheered.
"Yess!"
"But... what is this?" Jemima asked.
I looked at the lines carefully.
"A map," I said clearly.
"There's an entrance that leads underground!"
Ray and I said in unison.
"That way!"
we continued, in unison. I chuckled. Jemima hopped off of me, heading to everyone.
They ran that way and it beeped twice.
Words came onto the screen.
W E L C OM E
UNLOCKED
"Ray, Y/n, over here! Something's going on!" Emma called out and we rushed over.
"It's here," Emma said.
It was a door that led underground.
I put the pen up and helped Ray open the passage.
I pulled it to the side and dropped it.
"So it really was here!"
"He wasn't a liar!"
This is BO6-32, where Mr. Minerva awaits.
"Let's go," Emma smiled.
I went down first with Lanni and Thoma, holding out my lantern for light.
"So past that hallway is..."
"Yeah!" Lanni smiled.
I looked around the hallway. Doors.
106... 107... on and on.
{ An underground shelter for humans...? }
"Y/n! There's someone in that room. I hear noises,"
Jemima said, pulling me with her.
There were...
I knocked on the door and it swung open.
I walked in and Ray joined my side, taking my hand in his.
There were multiple TV's...
A table.
And a man.
His legs were propped onto the table and there was a cookie container besides him.
"Hey there," he said.
My eyes widened slightly.
{ It's a person. A human.
Is this person... Mr. William Minerva? }
"You must be tired after your long trip,"
He announced, reaching for another cookie in the can beside him.
"Welcome to the BO6-32 Shelter," he then said.
My grip on Ray's hand got tighter.
