The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Who?

Xennora and Julian are now in the CCTV room. In the same position as this morning, Julian began typing something, and then a video was written that Julian clicked immediately. They both smiled in satisfaction as the video was not flawed in the 27th minute. The obstacle is only one, the location of the CCTV is behind, so it only displays the back of Eireen, Sofia, even the perpetrator.

The girl they suspected came out of the art room with a jacket tied around her waist, then immediately entered the music room. Now Julian realized, the girl was not Xennora because her hair color was straight black while Xennora was slightly brunette and somewhat wavy. But they frowned in confusion after seeing something. The ball appeared from behind, a place that could not be reached by the camera, not from the art room or even from the black-haired girl.

"means... Not that girl. Why should it be out of camera range anyway?" Julian muttered annoyedly. Xennora looked at the man lazily and then looked back at the tape Julian repeated.

"But, he should have realized that there was a faint person behind him. Why isn't he noticing?" Xennora asked more to herself. Julian glanced at the still standing Xennora, then looked back at the screen.

"Yes too, yeah. If you wear earphones, it must still be strange." Julian muttered while trying to repeat the 27th minute.

"Eh, stop." Xennora's words suddenly made Julian reflexively stop the video.

"That's... The color of her uniform skirt... Dark blue?" Xennora asked as she showed a little piece of the skirt that was not covered in a jacket. Unveiled, just a few seconds. If Xennora wasn't observant, Julian probably would never have noticed.

Julian zoomed in on the picture, and sure enough. The color of her skirt is clearly dark blue which means that the girl is a junior high school student.

"Means not the kayak upperclassman that Eireen thought. According to you, he has nothing to do with the perpetrator?" Julian asked as he looked at Xennora beside him who was still speechless to think.

"Emmm... Could be. But-" Xennora's speech was cut off by the noise outside. They immediately faced back to look through the window. They gasped to see Mr. Lukman, one of the school guards who was busy being greeted by the students.

Soon, Xennora connected the USB to the computer and Julian copied the video from the recently repaired CCTV. It is nothing, but students should not copy videos from security cameras in this school. The school is afraid, if there is a school disgrace recorded by the camera, then sent to social media. It will lower the reputation of the school.

The copy is only 70 percent, but Mr. Lukman is very close to the entrance. Xennora and Julian were already sweating coldly, as the school guard was known for his grumpy nature.85 percent and Mr. Lukman would pull a doorknob.

"What are you guys doing?!"

Mr. Lukman looked around, nothing strange, all the computers were off and the room was still tidy. Mr. Lukman saw two students and students in front of him who were smiling before they answered his question.

"Sir Hasan told us to find a clip of the tie he lost in the security room. But it turns out there's no." Julian lied with a smile that was still clearly plastered on his face but instead made Mr. Lukman more suspicious.

"Sorry sir, good morning..." Reprimand someone behind Mr. Lukman.

"Ah, yes?"

"Mother called me?" Ask the student.

"Sister Deandra Callena..." Xennora Mumbles.

"Oh yes. Son Deandra, you asked to give this to the theater arts coach." While Mr. Lukman was busy looking for documents, Deandra told Xennora and Julian to leave immediately.

"Eumm... Then we'll have permission to leave, sir." Julian.

"Of course, you go." Mr. Lukman said to make them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay sir, thank you. Excuse me." Julian's permission was granted by Mr. Lukman. Melody thanked Deandra without a voice called thumbs up.

They left at a quick pace from there and with a sigh of relief.

Not too far from the room that made their hearts beat fast, Xennora with a breath of gasps pulled Julian's arm to sit for a while.

"But let me breathe first." Said Xennora who was still holding Julian's arm, unknowingly. Instead of sitting down, Julian stood in front of Xennora with a breath that was also irregular. He saw his arm that Xennora was holding, trying to neutralize the heartbeat that instead of subsiding, was becoming more and more so.

"Sister Julian, Sofia's sister is in the lock at the biology lab that she says is haunted. No one has been able to open or break the password, and Novi's mom isn't in school."

Well, yeah. They should also be aware that Sofia is the next victim.

...❄❄❄💙❄❄❄...

This afternoon, the members of the investigation had arrived at the school in casual clothes. They didn't bring bags because they were stored in the lab this morning. After school, they decided to go home for a shower and ask for more money. And at half-five in the afternoon, they went back to school with only a few teachers with evening schedules, members of the cheerleader eskul preparing to go home, as well as the security who worked Sift night.

Xennora sat down in front of Herina who was noticed by the girl with a smile. Xennora also took a sheet of HVS paper containing data of students who moved schools for reasons that make little sense aka, terror.

"Yet no enlightenment, brother?" Xennora asked as she read the row of names of the disciples who were there.

"Not Sen, still dizzy what relationship." Herina's reply made Xennora nod.

In student number one, there was Parsa Anugraha grade 7E. Xennora searched through a list of 7E class absences on a pile of papers, then looked for a child named Parsa Anugraha. Yes, just to make sure if the student named Parsa has ever attended school in SAN, and also to facilitate grouping if his absence number has been known.

"Can I help you, brother?" Tanya Xennora who got an enthusiastic nod from Herina.

"That's a lot Sen, hehe."

Xennora took out her notebook and wrote down the name Parsa Anugraha. With enough space, Xennora also wrote 7E and the boy's absent number, 27. So, it looks like a table, but without the dividing line.

...

...

Next, Xennora copied the names of the students who moved in as well as her class. Absence numbers he will look for one by one later.

When he was done, he took a thin stack of top HVS paper that Xennora believes is a list of class absences for which his students were victims. One by one Xennora searched the name of the student and wrote down the number of absent students in his notebook earlier.

But his activities stalled when he realized something while writing the absent number of Kartika Dwi Aprilia class 8K.

'Why is his absent number 27 all?'

In the same room but a different camp, Leo, Edwin, Ervin, Sofia, Eireen, Julian, Vinca and Vina were sitting in a circle on the carpet. Previously Xennora sat with them, but was more interested in Herina sitting on the sofa with great focus.

"So Sofia why? I'm surprised dong again interview Mr. Faris uh suddenly Edwin send a message to the biology lab. Yes, I'm sorry, it's not good for Mr. Faris." Ervin ignored the existence of Xennora and Herina who were sitting on the sofa behind him.

"So gini brother, I've finished the remedial. We continue to intend to come directly here. But we saw Bu Raya out of the lab while carrying a microscope that seemed to be used for teaching. Yaudah we help dong, and finally ma Raya agrees. Before going to class 11 Penalty 4, bu Raya said, do not get the door to close, because Novi ma'am has returned home because of sudden business and bu Raya not perfect his lab password." Obviously Sofia then took a breath before continuing her story. 

"Eireen used to go in to take one microscope kept going to class to follow bu Raya - because I talked the same time bu Raya before-. And then I went in, uh when I took the microscope, the door was straight to the lid. Because I'm a nething guy, I think it's because of a ghost or something. That doesn't include 'terror'. Yes, not long Eireen came just as bu Raya continued to panic and bu Raya tried to nelfon bu Novi many times. Until Julian's brother Xennora comes along and guess how many passwords he has. Finally, Ms. Novi answered the phone and I was able to get out, even though the shock was a little." Obviously Sofia made Ervin nod several times including Vina beside him.

"But I don't know, same class who told Sofia that she was key. Any of you know? I think it's the same Vina." Julian's speech made Eireen and Sofia speechless while thinking especially of Vina.

"Loh, my feelings or Mama Raya did not tell the students to tell Julian deh. I thought Julian's brother Xennora just happened to pass by."
