The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Cheaters

"Where are we now? All the places were dark except the hall that was used by the staging." said Leo who was walking with a small flashlight beside Julian. They were now in the corridor behind the hall. Julian also seems to still focus on looking with his small flashlight.

Previously they had tried searching using the GPS watch that Xennora was wearing. And they found only his watch, right on the border wall to the east of the school. They still don't know where Xennora was taken. The plot is too smart to know if the watch is a tracker watch. Really sucks.

"Maybe... It's around here somewhere. Just keep looking." Julian replied so focused that he didn't realize Leo was turning left into the hallway connecting the corridor with the back hall of the school. Leo saw a little light reflected from there, but when he saw it from the roof, the place was pitch black. He doesn't realize Julian's not following him.

Arriving near the stairs Julian felt no steps were following him. He looked around but could not find Leo there. "Loh, where the hell is he? I told you not to split up either..."

While trying to send Leo a message, a flashlight panning to a nearby spot shocked Julian, thinking it was Leo but it turned out to be,

"Hey! Whoareyou?! Why not come in?!" That's security. Panicked, Julian then ran down the stairs but unfortunately security was chasing him. Up on the roof, he looked for the safest place to hide. That is in the water tank which fortunately there is one tank that only contains a quarter. Without thinking, Julian climbed up and went into the water tank.

Before long, the sound of Rooftop doors opening and then the steps are getting closer. Julian set his breath so as not to sting. After a few minutes, finally the sound of the door again means that the security is gone.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief. His pants were wet to the knee area. But the next problem is,

"This is how woy came out?!"

Begos.

...❄❄❄💙❄❄❄...

Leo approached the back hall which could be said to be bright. He frowned confused, to his knowledge there was no access to electricity here. If it's not the light from the petromax, then it-after realizing the puzzle in this area, Leo immediately checks his phone.

"I guessed it. "

There is no signal, maybe all internet connections in this school have been hacked, and all access to electricity is only used for this area. Ah, it is appropriate that today the school looks very dark and only leaves the staging hall, it is indeed manipulated. But why is the signal so bad? This is not unusual. It seems that all internet access is closed, the plot of the makers of all this chaos.

The more Leo approached the hall, the more he felt claustrophobic. "Uhuk, carbon monoxide" he took a handkerchief in his suit pocket and used it to cover his nose. Curiosity still rippled, he entered the room with the door wide open. When he noticed, it turned out that the door was badly damaged. The door knob and keyhole were almost gone, the inner door was full of punch marks. The former hitter more precisely, it was like it had been hit by an iron or something.

He concluded that this place was the refuge of Xennora and the others. But where are they? Leo's breath sounded riled up, he immediately came out of there after feeling nothing else interesting. While in the doorway, he collided with someone who looked just as shocked as him.

"Damelin!"

Eireen breathed a sigh of relief, still with his cries and arms tied up. Leo hugged her briefly, tried to calm her down and took the girl to a place a bit away from the hall due to the smell of her gas still gushing.

Leo told Eireen to sit down and he untied Eireen's still faithful hand in tears. While trying to escape earlier Eireen did intend to hide in the back hall no matter the consequences later. It was fortunate that he met Leo here. But what about Xennora and Vina....

...❄❄❄💙❄❄❄...

Vina ran as hard as she could, occasionally looking back. The man is still chasing him. He turned between the corridor and the hallway, hoping that this trick could make the man confused. Until he stopped for a moment and looked around. Ah, it's a waste because it's too dark in here and he can't even confirm his vision.

As Vina made a turn, her body hit someone. It's too dark, Vina can't be sure who she hit. He was resigned if the victim he hit was his crony Deandra who continued to pursue him earlier, or maybe even the school ghost. The crying was already unstoppable, but then the atmosphere here was a little brighter.

"Vina! Vina..." Ervin shook his sister's shoulder to open his eyes. Slowly Vina opened her eyes and her crying broke.

"Oh my God, my sister..." Ervin hugged Vina. It was clearly a worried look there. Vinca who had been holding a flashlight was breathing a sigh of relief. But, where is Xennora?

Before long, there was the sound of someone whispering. Maybe some people too. Vinca left the two brothers who were still hugging the day and approached a voice not far from their position. At a turn near the stairs on the first floor, Vinca clearly saw two people chatting. There is a little bright because usually access to the stairs has emergency lights.

A woman talking to a man. They seem very serious. The woman turned her back to where Vinca eavesdropped at the end of the stairs. For sure her hair is brunette, long, slightly wavy and also a little messy. The tall man in front of her felt very familiar.

"Gue was sure that everything would go easily. That right? Yep... I admit they don't have a plan B. It's kind of silly but, yeah... It's good for some people who only have half a day to make plans."

That chick... This was clearly Xennora's voice. When you look back, the dress is also the same. It would not be wrong if it was Xennora.

The man smiled. That smile, Vinca remembered it. The man who had a jotos with Edwin, Leo, Ervin and Julian the other day. So, he and Deandra are planning all this? What about Xennora? Should Vinca come out of her hiding place and say "hohooo, it turns out lo's Deandra's men?!" and after that Vinca grabbed her hair until she cried out for mercy, then-

Okay stop Vinca. It's too ridiculous and unrealistic.

"... That way, you won't get caught, right... Alfanisa." said Devan as she gently stroked Xennora's hair.

Wait, what the fuck? Alfanisa's? What the hell's going on?

Damn it Vinca couldn't see Xennora's expression. Was the girl holding back her anger that could overflow at any moment?

"Nobody will realize why... Or even who is behind it. Because what? Because it's... We're too smart." continued Devan who fortunately did not realize Vinca's head that poked slightly from the stairs.

Xennora was heard snorting, her shoulders trembling slightly indicating that she indeed thought Devan's speech was just a joke worth laughing at.

Wait, what? Why isn't Xennora angry? Come on, almost all the students at SAN know that Xennora will be very aggressive when it comes to an enemy. This is evidenced when he dealt with Julian, his anger always overflowed at any time.

"Your password is good. Hide everything from your friends as if you were a girl full of mystery, and hide a lot of it is part of you. You did it well. With good saaangat. That's amazing, Alfanisa. No one suspects you. That's a good achievement." Devan continued. Vinca didn't understand, meaning Xennora was hiding something?

"Lo know? I don't deny that I'm a pinter. Hiding a lot of things? Haha, well of course because that's my privacy. The three of us are pretty good at theatrics. Aye, right? And I wouldn't deny that you guys do it with...." Xennora hung up her sentence while nodding lightly. "Very good," he continued briefly.

Already, enough. Vinca's really sick of all this. His hands were clenched, his breathing irregular. Before leaving from there, Vinca screeched softly,

"Basan traitor."
