Got hands on mysterious things

The next few days went by.. Kate and Simon, unlike others doesn't had much to have fun in outside. They just strolled here and there in the whole campus. They went on their own path.

The scenery inside the campus was way too beautiful than the outside world. Somewhere it was filled with the vibrant colored red carpet, where as some other place was filled with moisture air that was brought by the fog from the clouds that passes by. All sort of Architecture ancient-modern, Western-oriental, traditional- contemporary.... were used to design the building.

It looked like a palace in time travel. One will believe that it some Imperial palace if not for the gadgets and the people there. It was a small pavilion sit out,but it was given enormous thought in designing it. It had a pagoda which is decorated by the lotus,. lilly, a few koi. It looked like a pavilion at some palace. Kate liked the atmosphere. She decided to sat there to enjoy it a little more. She always liked those ancient things..

But while she was chilling out there, Simon was wandering in a oak forest like garden where there were oak tree on both the side. The atmosphere was so good. the tree breeze and the sound the trees were making while dancing waltz with the whoozing wind, even though it was in low pitch, made a nice rhythm. He was remembering the time he spent in Tai Nan with Kate. Thought the place was not as beautiful as here, Which is made with at most concern , was still the best time he had ever spent.

As his feet wandering he suddenly noticed something is shining in the bush. First he thought of it as reflected of the sunlight but the little moisture that is in the leaf which was watered just then in the Meadow before coming to this garden. But this time it sure attract his attention. He went near. It was a little glass bottle within which was a scroll neatly wrapped with a silver ribbon. It was a message in bottle.

He opened it. It looked like a map. Suddenly the spark came to him.

'By any chance the previous thing is also something like this.', When his brain finished thinking this, his leg already picked up the pace and he was running towards the meadow.

It took him a few minutes to reach. When he searched the bushes there, He found a similar type of bottle with a piece of paper was there. But the only difference is that, it was wrapped with a gold colored ribbon. He opened it. It had some weird picture. He couldn't relate the map thing and this weird picture.

He reckoned his brain. But still no relation is found. With that thought going on in his brain, His legs were in it's own mission of going back to all the places he has been since that morning.

His hunch was right, In every single place he found a similar bottle. But as everything had different colored ribbon like red, vermilion, blue, black, green was wrapped around the paper.

He also got a few bottles with similar colored ribbon. While opening them, He found that paper with different color have different theme. One looked like a map, one looked like a picture, one had a crossword puzzle in it while the other paper with the same ribbon had a clue for the grids in it. He connected the dots. He believed that his conclusion is right. He wrapped the other paper than black and white ribbon and put them back from where he took them. And with no other thoughts, he was looking for the other bottles with black and white ribbon.

He didn't failed, He almost found six such bottles before evening.

While Simon was in his hunt for those mysterious bottle messages, Kate was sitting in the pavilion noticed an old couple dressed in old clothes with was almost looked like rags was wandering here and there. They seemed like lost. There were few others who were present there. But everyone seemed to ignore them. It looked like it was done on purpose. But no outsiders can get in the premises as it was specially made available for the International elite championship. 'That means they are not outsiders', She concluded. 'But who can they? What are they doing? and why no one has noticed them?' Questions began to bother her brain. But ignoring those thoughts, her eyes didn't failed to notice that the old lady was already tied and her legs has no energy left in it to walk further. It was wobbling while the old man was balancing her with his hands. But his face too expressed tiredness.

Kate pushed her doubts away and walked towards the couple. When taking a closer look they doesn't seem like someone acting. They were like if they stand there for an another minute they would faint.
