The Puzzle

As Su Yang and Aki were exploring the Lab they found the exit but there were piles of rubbage blocking them from escaping the lab and once again Su Yang curled up into a ball and cried.

"We are all going to die!! there is no hope for the future now."

"Relax, I know a way out of this. The laboratory comes with another exit. It's in room XGE although—" Then Su Yang sprang up and shouted.

"Then let's get out of this lab. Lead the way, Aki." Su Yang cheerfully said.

"Wait there's something important you need—"

"There is no time to wait let's go." Su Yang spoke. So off Su Yang and Aki went to room XGE. But during their trip there. There were more corpses than usual. Su Yang had an odd feeling about room XGE. As Su Yang opened the door she rapidly gritted her teeth. The door creaked slowly. There, she saw some stairs but unfortunately no light. Bloody fingerprints were on the wall, text written in blood, It spelled Don't go in there. Su Yang didn't want to go but if she wanted to escape from this dreadful place she would have to go in.

"Aki!!" She shouted.

"Yes?" Aki questioned.

"There is no light how else am I supposed to see?"

"Your body is also equipped with night vision I can put it on for you if you like?"

"Please do this place is giving me the shivers." Su Yang implied. So Su Yang went down the stairs with every step she took, her heart skipped a beat. When she finally reached the floor she stopped to catch her breath.

"I swear this place is haunted." Su Yang said. Then Su Yang saw a bright pink and blue light coming from a specific room. Quickly Su Yang ran up to that room and took a big jump.

"FREEDOM AT LAST!!" Thinking that it was the exit her face fell flat on the hard concrete ground.

"Ow!! Aki, you said I couldn't feel pain."

"You can't unless you did it to yourself." Aki chuckled. As Su Yang got up she saw a bunch of man-made animals in their cells it was a miracle that they were alive. Aki scanned the animals.

"It looks like they're made out of the same special metal as you be careful." Aki cautiously said.

"I will thanks for the heads up." Aki and Su Yang explored every last inch of the place till they reached a control room that had an unsolved puzzle on the Lab Screen. But what caught Su Yang's attention was the red button that was covered in a bloody handprint. There was also a corpse lying next to it.

"How extraordinary," Aki said.

"Do you know what happened here Aki?" Su Yang asked.

"Sadly I don't know what happened here." Aki sighed.

"Maybe the puzzle has something to do with it. Can you solve it?"

"I can. You see that file chip over there just touch it for a bit so I can upload myself in it. Then inject it into the computer." Aki instructed. So Su Yang held the file chip and uploaded it into the computer. As Aki was solving the puzzle, Su Yang started to connect the pieces of evidence that she had gained while observing the place.

"The animals, The button, the puzzle, and the corpses it doesn't make sense why—" At last second she realized that the project named Human Weapon wasn't the cause of all the NASA Agents' deaths. During that fateful day, others were trying to escape in room XGE. But a mishap happened when the puzzle was solved. The animals escaped killing off hundreds of people. Plus, the one corpse that was near the red button was the one who pressed it, reset the puzzle, and made the animals go back to their cages. Su Yang quickly turned to Aki who was still inside the chip.

"AKI WAIT NO!!—" Su Yang shouted. But, she was too late Aki had already solved the puzzle. Su Yang quickly pulled the chip out of the computer and installed it in her brain.

"I heard you call my name what is it?" Aki asked.

"I don't have much time to explain but for now all I can tell you is we are in danger we need to run." Su Yang said. Su Yang heard the vicious sounds of the animals awaiting their meal. She knew she didn't have much time to stay.

"Quick Aki tell me where the exit is!" Su Yang yelled.

"Well uh— about that I can explain."

"We got no time to explain tell me where the exit is."

"You see the exit is a window the only window throughout this entire laboratory. But, due to the explosion made by the project Human Weapon, it's blocked off because of the falling materials." Aki said.

"You're supposed to be my AI guide and you fumble this badly? Why didn't you tell me before? You know what? we don't have time to argue about this. Aki try to analyze any possible exit." 

"Alright, I'll look into it. But what about you?" Aki asked

"Me? I'm going to be running my last and only death marathon." Su Yang said with a smile.
